Housh posted:Amazon.ca emailed to tell me my Splatoon 2 preorder will arrive between July 26- 28 wtf? I hope they don't meet release day delivery. Get the game for 20% off, and then complain and get $10-$20 for getting the game a couple days later. Where else can you get a name AAA game for $28-$38?

Just buy the game somewhere else and then return your new Amazon copy to that store when it comes.

That video actually assuaged a lot of my concerns about how well it'll be working. Even though the system is portable, there's a zero percent chance I'd ever be using it around other people (like on the bus or whatnot) so I'm quite happy with just having my phone on speaker whilst I'm using it. I'll either be playing it at home on the big tv or in a hotel on a work trip and either time if I ever want to use voicechat I'll be happy blasting the sound like that (and can put my phone on charge if needed). Obviously this is my personal usecase and it's still stupid you can't switch to messaging apps or whatever but otherwise I'm pretty happy with how it came out.

It switching off if your screen switches off is mega lame though. Like i knew going in Nintendo's internet solution was gonna be rough but that's just weird

Do you even have any idea how much infrastructure has to be set up to talk to someone over the internet, nevermind the amount of wires in your computer. Looks like Nintendo wins again

I think I posted a few months ago about the absolutely horrendous struggles I had playing Mario Kart 8D online. Could barely make it through a single match without the dreaded "a communication error has occurred'. I've tried every rumored solution: changing the DNS settings, changing the WiFi frequency and channel, moving the router around, nothing. So I bought one of these USB LAN adapters hoping that might help. Nope. What gives? I'm on a bog standard cable internet connection in a big city that is rock solid for literally every other game on every other platform I've ever used it on. How loving hard is it to allow me to play Mario Kart? Please tell me there's a reason, a solution, beyond "lol Nintendo".

I'd use FB Messenger or just group call my friends when we played Wii U games online. I see no advantages to using the app over doing that still.

Did you try putting your switch in the DMZ, that's the only thing that solved my problems, even the usb lan adapter didn't work for me either

Yeah that sounds like either spotty connectivity or a NAT issue, and if the USB ethernet adapter didn't help then it's probably NAT. Either assign your Switch a static IP and put that in the DMZ or get a router that's better at UPnP.

The biggest slight against this app is none of your friends will use it. That's basically it. Besides its technical inferiority to every other messaging app you can get on your phone, none of your friends are going to be on it for voice chat. Mixing audio is basically the only advantage this app can provide at the moment, and there's at least 3 or 4 technical hurdles bogging that experience down. I think they'll fix them, but it will take a big game to popularize it Like some people are saying, the most 1:1 convenient experience would've been if voice comm was cooked right into the Switch without the need for an app. But if they can make the app fun and interactive, it could have some value

Your phones and tablets, Roku, and laptop probably aren't acting as ad-hoc servers and so they probably don't use UPnP. Not sure why the rest work when the Switch doesn't, but hey. Magically my Switch works fine with my router.

The app could literally be an entire game by itself and it'd still be a thing only fans could make the leap to defend.

eonwe posted:Nintendo doesnt understand the internet Thank you for reminding me of this. I had done this when I was on WiFi and it didn't help much, but I forgot that the settings probably changed with the LAN adapter. I set that up again, and so far I've played four matches without getting booted. A new record, so fingers crossed.

I've tried every rumored solution: changing the DNS settings, changing the WiFi frequency and channel, moving the router around, nothing. So I bought one of these USB LAN adapters hoping that might help. I have disconnected from Mario Kart 8 Deluxe literally once ever across wired, 2.4GHz wireless, and 5GHz wireless, also between TV, tabletop, and handheld modes. I'm not going to say there aren't problems somewhere, but I've hardly ever experienced one myself. I got a few communication errors in the Splatfest test fire but never during a match. I'm not sure what's happening with your setup. It could very well be a hardware defect. e: I dropped a match against a JP player in Puyo Tetris the other day, but he was also losing, so it could have been a rage quit? I can't say for sure.

Although, I believe you can also use something like the Pokken controllers for it, as it natively works now. Maybe you can find a good solution!

Not unless I want to get 3 more sets of joycons, which, no, I cannot do that, and playing online is... ehhh. We keep the N64 at my parents' house for The New Tetris and Dr. Mario 64. I think as long as that beast keeps working that's going to be our main Tetris machine, and I'm OK with that because New Tetris has still never been topped.
