Man I got that Playing With Power NES Classics book and so much nostalgia just from the slip cover.
Remember opening up the lid with a soft squeak and pulling out one game with a firm press and pull and sticking another game in softly pressing on the little indentation until the cartridge clicked, pulling the lid down and giving that power button a satisfying kachunk

Let me tell you about true luxury.

I'm not sure what they are going to patch into ARMS for it to suddenly be anything but a comboless fighter with random (volleyball) modes. It's impossible for me to imagine the game beyond its vanilla grabs and punches and some jumping in-between.

Should I get another "Joy-Con"? Oh it's $90. Weird. Maybe I'll just buy 3 full size NYKO controllers instead?

Those controllers don't have wireless, motion controls or NFC. I think they don't even have rumble?

I guess since it's not wireless that's enough reason to not buy cheap third party controllers but man dropping $90 on a controller seems steep. Then again I sold a Wii U with smash and Mario kart for the price of the switch, and it's the best console. And the joy con is really two controllers which fulfills my duty to own a console with Mario kart ready for 4 people.

gently caress. I want it.

Wrong thread I know but Best Buy is always putting these Sennheisers on sale for $70. I've had the predecessor model for like over a decade now, and they still sound great. For $70, there's nothing else even close I'd recommend to anyone. This is the second time I've shilled for Best Buy today.

There is little that makes me happier than taking drugs. Perhaps administering them, designing and carrying out experiments that bend the plane of what we consider reality.

Yeah it loving sucks that joy cons are so expensive. They're good controllers though and unless you're a crazy completionist then you probably won't ever need a set after the second.

You can even drop down a model to the Sennheiser HD 202's. Probably one of the best headphones I've bought, snagged them for $22 a while back and at that price point its a steal of the century.

I have a Switch, now. Thanks, Amazon. Wish I could pull my wife away from Puyo Puyo Tetris to give it a try :v:

On release, I remember hearing some horror stories about console warping in the dock. Checking around online shows stories about it, months old at least. The OP didn't seem to mention it. Still a thing? Also if I've opened up a thread :can: just ignore this question, I guess.

It might still be a thing but who knows. I took some of that black rubberized electrical tape and kinda layered it over the little outcropping inside the dock just in case.

Mench'n-a-go-go-baby!

quote:

Now that the new Metroid games have been announced people have been asking for an update to my old AM2R video. Half to see what I'd do as a long-time Metroid fan, and the other half to see Nintendo vindicated from my slander since this obviously why they took down AM2R, because they were working on a professional version of it! Metroid: Samus Returns, which is more or less Return of Samus with some fancy cut-scenes and alternate battle types.

Well, I have to say, this does NOT vindicate Nintendo, this proves they are scumbags with no actual faith in their own products who dishonor the community they should be respecting and attempting to surpass. Instead, just like with Super Mario Maker, taking down Fullscreen Mario, they've proven they hate their own community as fans, and see them only as consumers.

They are within their legal rights, but at the end of the day when you compare them to other companies that are fostering modding and fan-games, unless you are completely biased toward Nintendo you can compare Nintendo to these other companies properly and identify them as what they are: scumbags.

This sure is a video.

I brought up Discount Warehouse Jim Sterling around a month ago after trying to find people who were still upset over AM2R even after the announcement of Samus Returns. Well looking for people who went beyond just upset really, it's perfectly fine to still be upset with what happened. But thinking it getting taken down was some heinous act is quite the point of the view.

And I watched through the whole thing and the weird thing is the guy is so close to understanding why a company would view free fan-games (especially games that are centered around the exact concept they might be developing at the time) as competition.

Like most people, when Mario Maker was revealed at E3 2014 realized the game was why they shut down an HTML5 based 2D Mario Level editor anyone could play with for free and share levels online with in the fall of 2013. Most people.

I'm not convinced any Switches were actually warped and it wasn't just someone OCD using a level and finding that the plastic back of his Switch wasn't perfectly flat and inspiring other people to freak out and do the same.

The PS4 port's controller support is bad and I doubt they'll change it now. The game was designed around kb/mouse. I mean it's still a great game on the surface but it's meant to be played on a PC.

It's fine with a controller on the PC. I love just sitting back on the couch to play it.
