they used to give away ps1 games before they started giving out full games and people loving hated that

also i sometimes think about unplugging my wii u but thats because the controller turns on to advertise poo poo and scares the living poo poo out of me way too often. there is probably an option to turn this off somewhere but i will never find it

You know when people complain about the free games that come with PS+ ?
Nintendo just announced that the Switch will have paid online but as a bonus you'll get a...free Nes/Snes game...that expires after a month. Lmfao

Nintendo are the epitome of "one step forward, two steps back".

Only emojis can express my pure, simple stupidity.

I feel like even 20 years from now people will still play and be nostalgic for NES/SNES games. Those games were stupid hard and unfun, it's just the only options we had at the time.

The Switch reveal was pretty lol tbh. I know it's a moot point since they have their own market pretty much anyways and it doesn't really impact ps4/xbone sales much

One thing it did prove was the Vita theory was right on the money; The Switch is going to be the new go-to platform for low/mid-range budget JRPG titles (they already announced a Berseria port and a couple other JRPG's).

And I am perfectly okay with this :allears:.

That's a pretty good deal, the console and VR bundle alone would be $900 if you can even find one at MSRP and he throws in a bunch of extra games and hardware. I hope he means Infamous Second Son though, Infamous 2 is a PS3 game.

I have a WiiU and I have barely played it in months. I am excited for the Switch, but I am already concerned because it seems like there will barely be any titles on it for a while. Mario NYC looks fun, though!

It's typical of any console in its first year, and we have solid release dates on some good games coming in the first three months (Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Splatoon 2). Nevermind the fact that the big king-hitter launch title is a colossal open-world game that's going to keep "mainstream" players happy for loving ages and they could've coasted on that alone for a fair while. Most consoles just poo poo the bed for the first six months waiting for studios to get their rushed first round of titles out the door, so Nintendo potentially have a better first-year lineup in place than most.

I mean i love the nes and snes but could i couldn't name 12 games between the consoles that id be yearning to play again. Its just not a selling point.

Since the Switch is on a mobile Nvidia chip, it's not going to be at all compatible with Wii U or Wii titles and isn't backwards compatible.

Most consoles poo poo the bed in the first 6 months to a year, but the WiiU poo poo the bed for nearly 2 years. I really hope the Switch will be better. I'm excited about the concept. If its portability and battery life are as good as advertised, I may leave the PS4 at home on work trips. The form factor alone makes that a more attractive prospect.

I am loving how broken Final Fantasy 15 is. It's like the game wants you to overlevel by 30 levels.

Excuse me while I kiss the sky.
As much as I'd love them to get back into it, Nintendo were never going to compete with PS4/Xbox, that just isn't what they do these days.

What this is really is a successor to the 3DS instead, a beefed-up handheld that you can happen to plug into a TV.

Zelda looks great but I don't know if I can justify the price for the 1 or 2 games a year I'm going to want to play on it.

I think they don't give a poo poo because it's all automatic for them at this point. Develop submits game for certification, includes "preview video," video is posted to youtube and included on PSN.

Fellow Goons I come in search of advice.

About four days ago my PS4 internet connection which is straight to the router via LAN started getting really inconsistent. It would drop connection and lag when before it had literally worked perfectly since I'd turned it on for the first time.

Now when I run an internet connection test on it, the results are baffling the gently caress out of me. Most of the time it will connect the the PS Network sometimes not. Most of the time the NAT type test fails, if it doesn't fail it will say type 3 and on very rare occasion it will say type 2. The speeds are all over the place too.

I tested downloading the free games off PS Plus this month as another connection test and it fails to download but then an immediate retry it will download with no problem so the connection to the internet cannot be THAT inconsistent because it's staying on and connected to the network long enough to download a GB of data.

Even more puzzling no game will play online except Rocket League which I just played a game of with absolutely no issues (and not against bots) before it kicked me out. Consistently that one game will play with no problems for a while whilst everything else won't even connect.

Everything else connected to this router is working absolutely normally; my phone, this laptop. I'm officially stumped. A google search turns up talk of opening ports and such but I don't understand why it'd go from "never had a problem" to this sudden (literally since Tuesday) refusal to connect to anything but Rocket League or why it's so inconsistent with everything else. It will also do the exact same thing on a wireless connection.

Any help guys?

I just hope the Wii U port isn't terrible. Based on how the game looks it doesn't seem like it should be any different, but I could see them hobbling it to sell the Switch. I really couldn't justify that since I barely touch my Wii U as is.

The Wii U version at the Video Game Awards vs the Switch version they're showing at Fallon/Treehouse streams/the trailers is like night and day. It chugged so hard and looked awful on Wii U.
