Look on the bright side.



I'm happy it's good and all but it's still a little bit sad to me that an old series like Dragon Quest has a Minecraft-clone game.

Exploration is ill-advised.
I'm surprised it took this long for an established developer to even attempt a Minecraft clone with actual gameplay.

Has anyone tried the Mayflash adapter that lets you use Wii U Pro / X360 / Xbone / PS4 controllers on the Switch yet? I just got mine in the mail today, gonna try it with everything but PS4 since I don't have a PS4.

Minecraft has never looked like my thing but the DQ aesthetics supporting a game an objective driven crafting game was quite fun to me.

so it's Minecraft if Minecraft left early access and had actual combat mechanics?

No because DQB is the opposite of sandbox. You don't get time to build your solid gold castle because the game really wants you to focus on the story and quests. DQB1 actually had a separate sandbox mode but you unlocked blocks for it by playing the story.

More importantly the world in DQB1 was static and hand crafted so there were tons of neat dungeons and caves if you explored enough, hopefully DQB2 is the same. It was also the least grindy DQ game I played and that blew me away considering its influences

trip report: Works real good with the Wii U Pro, can finally play PPT without cursing loudly. Haven't tried Xbox controllers yet, but I expect they'll be equally good.

and of course now it's a lower price than I paid 3 days ago and also has prime shipping now. Serves me right for jumping on it early, gently caress.

No, no motion controls, I'm not even sure how that would work. Got a link to this Brook converter?

I don't have a link, I posted a video with a demonstration a couple pages ago though. It's from a British guy so maybe it's just a European product.

To get motion to work was just a firmware update to the dongle.

Brook has updated the firmware for their PS4 to WiiU adapter, so now when plugged into a Switch the full range of analog control will work, as well as the motion control.

Still wired, but a great alternative if you've got a PS4 controller.

Also the 360 and Xbox One controllers have their analog sticks work perfectly now, although those do not have accelerometers.

Oh, yeah. The PS4 controllers have gyroscopes so motion control would work with that adapter, but none of the others will. Couldn't tell you with this one since I don't have a PS4 controller to test with, but I don't see anything about it on the box or in the documentation.

I have a 5hr flight coming up next weekend and I'll probably bring my Switch. I don't really want to carry two chargers so I'm hoping that if my MBP's USB-C charger can charge a beefy laptop it will do well with the Switch. Should be good, right?

I'll just need to Amazon a stand if that's the case.

It should, it has more than enough amperage.

That's what I figured. It's at the office so I can't test right now but I didn't know if I should immediately rule it out and pick up something switch-specific. Es bueno!

Quick question

I travel a lot for work and my switch has been a godsend. I'm currently taking the cable that came with my pro controller plugged into the end from an iPhone charger to charge it but it's very slow.

Would it be better to get one of the real chargers from Nintendo? Just want to get a charge faster.

I love that trailer is more insufferable than the switch reveal and singlehandedly hand waves the 3DS as "the child's system".

Probably better to spend the 30 bucks and have it for the next 3+ years so it plain works

Yeah, iPhone chargers are way lower spec than the switch wall charger.

Yeah, I travel for work about 50% of the year for 4 days at a time and the annoyance factor in having to pull the cable out from behind the entertainment unit every time is far greater than just buying a second charger.
