Or if you have it docked in a regular living room that doesn't have aux cords taped down on the floor or whatever. People don't like this because 1) The forced smartphone integration is annoying, especially since the phone needs to be unlocked with the screen on, and 2) The potential convenience added by the smartphone integration isn't apparent, and in what would be a normal use case you still need the "bulky gamer headset" with a bunch of wires that Nintendo claimed this would avoid.

Pants Donkey posted:hahaha Mario All-Stars for Wii, a 24--year-old game, was sold for $30 at one point. Even 20 is laughably high. Mario all-stars is a collection of some of the greatest games. They aren't less fun because they're old, and I hope Nintendo decides to go the "collection of games as a single release" route with the switch instead of the virtual console trickle. Give me the Picross collection with the JP only ones translated!!

Tender Bender posted:Well, almost everyone owns a smartphone. I can't think of any other device, that every Nintendo Switch owner would own. Is there anything those people have in common, everyone who owns a Switch, is there anything you know someone has when they buy a Nintendo Switch? I can't think of anything, so I guess the smartphone idea is perfect.

Mr Phillby posted:My point is there is nothing remarkable about the splatoon2 headset and any mirth at the idea of using wires for audio should be directed at literally every piece of non-bluetooth audio equipment in existence. I just think the setup is dumb and some of that is compounded by outside factors from the wires like having to leave your screen on and not able to switch apps or anything. It's just top-to-bottom really klunky.

Bill Barber posted:Why are you using a headset in your living room? Use your phone like a normal person. People like to use headsets for voice chat so they don't give an echo of game audio/feedback to the people they're chatting with while also not annoying the people they live with with a loud Splatoon conference call.

Needing voice chat in Splatoon means you're playing it wrong. Just spray your color. That's it. That's the strategy.

It's just strange to me, a person who has used wired headsets for many years, that people are pointing at a wiring diagram that's actually relatively simple and acting like it's the most convoluted thing in the world.

It was literally just a rom on a DVD and it wasn't even the superior version of All-Stars that includes Super Mario World with the rad Luigi sprite.

So, Splatoon 2, there a way for me to skip Peal and Marina's longass seemingly-unskippable announcements every time I leave the game and come back? Besides just mashing the A button and cursing?

Besides just mashing the A button and cursing? Nope. At least the announcements don't pop up when the maps change in the middle of your play session like they did in Splatoon 1.

Rexroom posted:Did any Vita game feature voice chat? Vita was the first PlayStation platform to implement Party Chat on a system OS level, so you could voice chat with friends directly through your system while playing any game rather than say using a smartphone app. I used it while playing Soul Sacrifice Delta and Killzone: Mercenary.

Anyone who's played Cave Story know if it's possible to ferret out all the secret bits and endings and weapon combinations and such without using a guide? I bought it and got an ending, but it looks like there's more than that to it. I've really enjoyed it, can't believe it's been around this long and i've never played it before.

Huh, this amiFilm protector the thread recommended is actually gorgeous. First one went on just fine, so I have one left over and all the install mats. If anybody wants it for the cost of shipping, PM me - I've got a million spare bubble mailers so it's no big deal at all.
