I feel kinda ripped off by the pro controller, but at the same time is it really that much more comfortable. I mean, 70 loving dollars for it with slightly squishy buttons, very squishy d-pad and only binary triggers. They could've at least brought that back! :(

I wonder if they will release a software update in the future to use the full tegra chip in dock mode (rather than the what, 70% max clock its at?) Hell, maybe they just need to release a 'pro' dock with a fan on it or something.

You won't be able to charge and play at the same time and you'll need a USB-A to -C cable

Well duh i'll need a cable capable of connecting the two :rolleyes: And I expected that as it seems the switch is a ~30W charger. I honestly might just buy another (45-60W) charger for my MacBook so I don't need to unplug the drat thing every time I leave) and use it for both if needed.

Why isn't anyone making a tablet holder for the pro controller??? Like that'd be the best nerdiest thing to have for using handheld. I'm not that much of a fan of the controllers on the tablet.

Are the grips for the joy cons any good? As is, the handheld mode cramps my hand if I hold it too long, so I'm hoping there's something out there that can fit my hand easier.

If your hand is big enough to be cramped by handheld I think the grip might not be for you. I played for 12 hours yesterday and was totally fine but my friend with a bigger hand cramped up after a few hours.

the psp and the 3DS are fine, it's just that the bottom corner is just at the bottom of my hand enough to be un-comfortably poke. There's one grip that has a fatter bottom; I think that one would be better, as it'd spread the pressure at that back corner point over a much wider area in a soft material. Plus I can fake having colored joy-cons :D

Arrrggghhh I hate that the left stick button can be activated if a butterfly farts on it. I've had so many deaths in Zelda from accidentally crouching when trying to lock on and run away from enemies, particularly those drat guardians that laser you


Also I have a serious compulsion in cutting every single drat blade of grass. I get all tense and stuff if there's more than like 30% of it left. Of course, that's mostly in the Hatano/Kakariko areas where insects/fairies/rice/lizards are very prevalent. I was mowing around the cliffs of Quince/Marblod plain and got a shitton of rice there

From what I gathered from the reviews, the game is great if you wanted Banjo Kazooie to have a graphics bump to this day but not have any of the gameplay improvements such as maps or working camera.

not having a map and working camera is kinda stupid tho

ill pick it up when its $30 or under


Im just waiting for the OG spyro spirtual successor. God, I love those games

I rely heavily on the map in zelda to orient myself, not to mention literally every other game. Not having one I can pull up will be horrible, since while I do build internal maps easily enough, thats for the real world where i am literally in it. Games are different and I don't have the same intuitive sense for a portal view :(

So glad Yooka-Laylee got delayed on the Switch so I wouldn't had ended up buying it and finding out it's another Mighty No 9 trash heap.

Huh? That's not the impression i get from review footage

i mean, it could be due to me having never played BK as a kid (I had a playstation) and thus not having that nostalgia loving with me (It's not exactly Banjo Kazooie 4!!), but it seems like a fun, if frustrating at times throwback game

I think everyone who complains about that 'stealth' mission was trying too hard. It is incredibly forgiving-- you have to basically be right in front of him to trigger a loss. Wear the stealth armor or eat a 3-stealth food and just stand by a tree while keeping track of him, occasionally advancing as he gets far enough away. Granted, when I beat it the wolf people talk about did not show, but you can always snipe it with a strong enough bow, if you even need to kill it for the quest. SEriously, its not thief or metal gear, people, just be a little more careful than usual!

godammit I got the lego city game because it looks awesome, but it is laggy as gently caress which i can live with, but I just got a really weird bug where a 'select floor' dialog is stuck on the screen and stays there trough restarts and new maps. I finally got it to go away by going back to the elevator in the police station, but gently caress, was the game this loving buggy on the wiiu? Who the gently caress is responsible for all these lovely ports?

Who else got the lego city game? I've just had two errors in a row in the game-- the first time was a full on OS crash where the switch needed to be restarted when I took it out of the dock, the second I was just walking around in game and the game itself crashed ("Software Error"). This is not boding well...

Apparently the Lego City Switch port is really good and not that far behind the PS4 one. I always had a soft spot for that lovely Lego Island PC game so maybe it'll scratch that same itch.

Its framerate drops constantly though, and rpboably spends most of the time at 20 fps

I honestly feel like Lego Coty runs at 15 to 20fps at times in the open world in portable mode. It's ridiculous. Decent game though.

Yeah, the digital foundry analysis was definitely in the docked mode (how could they do an analysis in portable?) because performance is definitely worse when its not docked. Yes, docked is a good 25-30 but y'all cant just instantly dismiss my experience because you think im just being a pollyanna. Portable does do 15-20fps.
