Uncle at Nintendo posted:I just ordered the d-pad joycon thing for the switch OK so I promised a trip report on this.  I can't believe how good it is. The d pad functions exactly like a d pad should. I sucked playing Shovel Knight or Street Fighter 2 in portable mode and now it's absolutely perfect. Even better is it's a clicky d pad. Reminds me a lot of the GBA SP. Installation was pretty brutal. Lots of tiny screws and you have to remember where each one goes. Lots of tiny fragile ribbon cables, too. So you have to be extremely careful. The worst part is the tiny springs used for the back L and R buttons. I lost two out of four doing this so I swept up the area and I had to use a magnet in everything I picked up to find them again. Do the back L and R buttons very carefully. Me losing them added a good hour to this whole thing. Another recommendation I have is to not bother using the back half of the shells. I like that it looks all stock black from the back and purple on the front. Plus the purple plastic is a bit glossy and the stock back halfs are nice and matte which I find better for grip. I am able to pull off every single move in Street Fighter 2 now when it was an effort with the arrow buttons. Shovel Knight is like a different game. This is what Nintendo should have shipped it with. And I even tested how well it works with using the left joycon in two player mode, where you hold the joycon sideways. Believe it or not, it still works wonderfully in that mode. Yeah it might be confusing if the screen says to press arrow right but that's a small price to pay. I was able to use it just fine in that detached sideways joycon mode. Anyway I hope this has been useful to the Imp Zone™. Just please don't blame me if you lose a spring or rip a ribbon cable. hth Chumbawumba4ever97 fucked around with this message at 21:09 on Dec 2, 2017 |

I have four Pro Controllers and two of them have poo poo d pads (I exchanged them until I got a good one). You're referring to the d pad registering a right or left press as up, correct?

Just waiting for stores to start stocking pro controllers with the fixed d pad

I think I made some good points (about Nintendo kicking rear end and goons knowing fuckall about business) Microsoft literally never made a dime of profit on the XBox brand and Nintendo probably made money on the Virtual Boy and these goobers don't understand why Nintendo might be smarter than Microsoft at making money with video games Here's another great follow up post of his: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3812768&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=43#post472747584

The only people I argued with are ones that said Nintendo sucks at making money and Microsoft XBox is wonderful at it, and that got them so enraged for some reason lol

Lumpy the Cook posted:. . . . . Yeah they were asking me why I said I'd play Skyrim on the Switch and not the PC and I said the portability is a huge factor as I am married with two kids and cannot sit in an office by myself hunched over a computer screen. And their takeaway from that was that I should just get a long hdmi cable and wireless keyboard and mouse for my living room TV (so that I can hog the entirety of a different room instead I guess????) Your gifs and videos fuckin own dude. God drat.

I still blow people's minds when I show them that you can plug two Dreamcast VMUs into each other to copy saves. These are people who own a Dreamcast. What a cool system. For some reason I think the graphics on it were better than the PS2, even though that's technically impossible.

IdealFlaws posted:WHAT?! I completely forgot about this or just didnt know. I think I've been using it the old fashioned way by using the Dreamcast and hooking up two vmu's like a scrub Yep you plug them directly into one another and then you get a menu on the VMU with all your saves and you just copy them from there. Also don't feel bad. I didn't know the Game Boy Player on the GameCube played original game boy games until last year (I thought it only did Game Boy Advance). Oh and i figured out the Game Boy Player had an eject button last year, too. Another one that almost made my monocle pop was that you could plug a Game Boy Pocket or Game Boy Color link cable into a GBA/GameCube. They changed the link port shape for the GBA but you can still fit the much older link cables into that port. They are backwards compatible.

Spoderman posted:Also the Dreamcast has VGA output so almost every game is designed to look great in 480p and has a video connection system that makes everything look crisp even today. When you plug in your Dreamcast to an HDTV today, the AA plus VGA make it look 100x better than anything else pre-HDMI. Dreamcast was the best then and is the best now. Yeah PS2 even over component doesn't look nearly as good to me I always found it funny that a lot of Dreamcast games that wouldn't work with vga could just have a flag changed to force it, and it worked fine. Why the hell did they force it off for the game then? And what's up with those like three games that won't do VGA even with the flag set? One of them is the South Park game

Do you get anything extra for beating Master quest in botw? The thought of doing the trial of the sword in an even more difficult setting makes my stomach hurt but if I get a better ending or a cool virtual t shirt out of it I'll do it I.N.R.I posted:romancing saga 3 was great. basically its a bit like ff6 except if it was just sidequests + no main story. i think 2 is the same, in fact i heard it was considered the best of the 3 games, its the only one i havent played yet though I never played any romancing saga game. Is it OK to start with 2 or will I be lost? I.N.R.I posted:speaking of which its a shame that the series artist, tomomi kobayashi, never took the same career path as amano. she isnt as talented as amano but shes still far too skilled to be stuck doing art for korean phone mmos or whatever it is she does now Virtually all of the people who made Illusion of Gaia/Time did practically nothing after making that game. Even the incredible music composer

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm adding every one of them to my n3ds xl right now I.N.R.I posted:live a live and treasure of the rudras (you can find it searching for rudra no hihou or something like that) are the ones i know, the snes was before my time so even as a big jrpg geek theres still a lot i havent played pre ps1. live a live is pretty famous but rudras is more obscure. its not the greatest rpg ever made but its really nice looking and its not so easy you can just mash A through it like a lot of old rpgs Man you have the opposite life of me. I was obsessed with rpgs in the snes days and I completely abandoned them when the Playstation came out. For whatever reason I couldn't stay focused on them like I could in the snes days. in 1995/96 I was obsessed, by 97 I stopped caring I am very jealous you never played a lot of the snes rpgs. You should share your list of snes rpgs you never played and we can rate them in order you have to play them. If you want something fairly quick and doesn't require gamefaqs to beat I highly recommend Illusion of Gaia

here's a weird question; and it might even be more of a tech question than Nintendo specific but feh I have a Wii U and I am using a Western Digital passport hard drive. The Wii U's usb ports do not give off enough power to power an external hard drive unless it's one of those ones that have a literal wall plug, and I refuse to use those out of stubbornness. yes I tried a Y adapter with my passport where it will use 2 USB ports but it wasn't enough power still! so my surge protector has a USB port that claims it is strong enough to charge even an ipad pro 12". so I plugged in this USB "splitter" thing; basically it's a USB port male on one end and 5 USB female on the other end. i suppose it's a "hub" but it doesn't plug into an outlet so i am not even sure wtf it is so i pluged it into that port on my surge protector, then plugged my amazon echo and WiiU hard drive into it (so the Y connector plugged into my wii u has one wire going to the wii U, and the other going to this USB splitter thing is this a bad idea for any reason? is it gonna give my hard drive or wii U a shorter lifespan? i notice the western digital passport's LED light never turns off, even if the wii U is off. however, it isn't spinning or anything if the wii U is off if my question seems nuts please consider I used an ipad USB brick to power my fire TV stick and the thing kept rebooting itself and it was boiling hot (the fire stick). once I switched back to the one that came in the box it never happened again, so I think this notion that USB devices only received the voltage they are supposed to is a load of poo poo (i think) sorry for all the words but i want my wii U and its necessary hard drive to provide decades of enjoyment for my household
