What were you looking for specifically here? We know it's a thing, we know it works through the test punch/splats (edit: SF2 and MK8D too of course :v: ), we know the price and the classic games perk.

"Tell that to Zod's snapped neck!"

So Amazon apparently wanted to make up for sending me Mario Kart a week late by getting ARMS to me a day early, and it's pretty fun. I feel like a badass when I'm fighting, but holy gently caress it is going to take forever to earn enough money to get all of the arms. I did the tutorial, a full Grand Prix (granted it was at difficulty 2) and played some of the mini games and I earned enough to do the "get arms" thing once, at the end of which I learned (because the game doesn't explain it very well) that I didn't even get anything because I missed the one and only opportunity to punch one during the 30 seconds I had.

How many points do you get from an average online match? I assume the thought is that most people will earn most of their points from online, but playing single player Mario Kart I earned a new piece after pretty much every grand prix (later on, maybe after every other) and those are way shorter than 10 straight matches. I mean, there are basically 270 parts to unlock, so it is going to take a fuckload of time to even make a dent in that. Smash and Mario Kart were way better at doling out unlockables.

quote:

On why in the world Nintendo is going to require use of a mobile phone when using voice-chat for the Switch, given that everyone else, and even Nintendo, has previously done console voice-chat directly through the console:

Fils-Aime: We actually think that the phone is going to deliver a better, more robust execution. In terms of the APIs that we can build into an app, the fact that phones are ubiquitous, the fact that it allows us to do much more rapid improvements and updates to the service, that’s why we think a phone execution—and specifically a mobile app execution—is going to be better for the consumer.

:lol:

Fils-Aime later added "I have no clue what I'm talking about."

I might be late for pizza chat but garlic, spinach, grilled red onions, boiled potatoes, feta, and a small bit of mozz. After working in pizza for half a decade that was my contribution and it was great

I might have to actually care about voice because of splatoon's salmon run would be good with some chatter.

Other modes would just be me screaming at the rest of you for dragging me down in Ranked.

I'm sure the voice app will launch with Splatoon since the devs have talked about how it'll work with it and that silly Splatoon headset with the splitter.

Actually the Switch is doomed and there are hardly any games for it, so really you're just saving money at this point.

Yeah, I actually have both Wii and 3DS versions but that lizard brained urge to buy it again to play on Switch in undocked mode really speaks to me.

I understand, I've got a ton of VC repurchases because I wanted them on the Wii, then the 3DS, and even the Wii U. I'm dumb and will rebuy them on the Switch.
