DalaranJ posted:A physical button with digital output inherently has both a press event and a release event, yes. Calling it a half press is inaccurate, but it's a thing that exists. TJ "Henry" Yoshi spotted ITT re: melee players and broken controllers, I'd say "this game community requires an extremely exactly broken controller that's hard if not impossible to get your hands on" is a really good way to prevent literally anyone new from joining the scene and will effectively kill any life left in it but this is the smash melee scene so the sooner it consumes itself and leaves nothing behind the better e: I always forget and laugh when I rediscover it, but the top 4-8 players in just about every SSBM tournament has been static for almost a decade now Ursine Catastrophe fucked around with this message at 21:27 on Jul 13, 2017 |

Evil Fluffy posted:When you have a pro go "oh my busted controller isn't busted properly, I withdraw" that's when you as an organizer really need to ask yourself if it's worth hosting tournaments for a game whose 'best' players rely on an outright hardware advantage. The SSBM competitive oroborous just continues to grow smaller and more self-contained while still somehow containing the same overall volume of drama and toxicity as any other competitive game, which means either 1. the tournament runner doesn't want to deal with the death threats of not having SSBM at their tournament, or 2. they're one of the SSBM enthusiasts who would never dream of removing SSBM from said tournament. that said I'm pretty sure most "Tournaments with SSBM" are SSBM ONLY, NO SEQUELS, FINAL DESTINATION at this point anyways so

I don't know what it's like now, but if it's still like it was a couple years ago, getting games onto a console is literally exponentially more expensive than it is to get one on Steam or iOS/Android, even for pure digital releases.

Al Borland Corp. posted:I was totally wrong about reviewers knocking off points for Nintendo's weird online apps. It appears the majority just did not care at all and didn't take that into account. I'm surprised, because honestly I probably would have. I assume most of them ignored it or forgot about it because it's so far outside of the "normal" ecosystem and I don't know how much Nintendo has really been advertising it.

But Rocks Hurt Head posted:Was Setsuna bad? I totally forgot about it until I saw it was a Switch release game. The way it was described to me was "If you liked chrono trigger for the gameplay and didn't care at all about the plot, you'll enjoy IAS". Which was enough to convince me to not buy it ever. Reading TDI's LP of it is on my to do list, just...really low on it.

Nothing yet, all of the current C-to-C+A+HDMI dongles make the switch pop up an "unsupported accessory" message and it won't even charge from it. That dockless for-the-switch dongle might work if you plug it in and just skip plugging the hdmi in, maybe, whenever it actually comes out. e: otoh the switch in a dock without an hdmi plug is just a black screen so you might just be SOL Ursine Catastrophe fucked around with this message at 07:25 on Jul 26, 2017 |

Did Nicalis just refuse to cut him some cash for his soundtracks on new platforms or something? The OG Binding of Isaac had a Danny B soundtrack that they replaced with 90% crap and "wet ambient cave noise", too.

The Manticore posted:I've seen fixes for the d-pad that involve opening the controller up and putting scotch tape over parts of the contacts or inserting small bits of cardboard under the center pivot, so I think it's just poorly designed!  I've owned and used controllers since the OG NES and I've had bad dpads or dpads that just feel poo poo, but the pro controller is the first one that's had a D-Pad where I can push right and get an up input. I'm open to the idea that I hit the buttons different than other people, but the above plus hearing some people having the opposite "down" problem really screams poo poo manufacturing QA to me more than anything.

Detective No. 27 posted:Yeah, I thought when 3DS came out, it would be a platformer renaissance with the 3D, but that really didn't end up happening. Switch is positively drowning in them. I watched my friend play some GoNNER and I would have bought it had I not immediately be abanonding it as soon as Mania comes out. The fact that a glut of indie games is hitting the first nintendo console without a platform-mandated-you-must-use-it gimmick since the Gamecube probably isn't a coincidence.

Detective No. 27 posted:I mean, all Switch games have the platform-mandated-you-must-use-it gimmick, it just happens to be one everyone loves. Right, but it's also one that appears to either be easy to bake in or at least has some sort of sane default that you can let the hardware deal with automatically, unlike dual screen/touch screen/motion control.

Not only did they get the blue spheres levels from S3, they grabbed ones from the Sonic 1 & Knuckles combo  e: And the secondary sound for the green slime in Chemical Plant 2 is the electrified ground sound from Wacky Workbench This is going to be 12 straight levels of nostalgia trip, isn't it Ursine Catastrophe fucked around with this message at 09:09 on Aug 15, 2017 |

dog nougat posted:If you either collect all the rings or blue spheres it gives you some sort of token. I think it immediately took me to the level boss. Not sure though, since I've only been able to complete 1 of em Nah, the tokens unlock stuff like the up+jump dash from Sonic CD or the double jump shield from S3+K. But either the unlocking is bugged, or it doesn't become actually available until you've beaten the game, because the extras menu is still all ????? for me.

Motto posted:I've always found genesis sonic real easy to control so idk. I grew up with it but I can absolutely see why it'd piss people off if they're used to mario-style precision platforming. Sonic is basically "run, roll, miss everything" or "incrementally inch your way through levels, curse when a hidden spring throws you past the thing you want to get/see the thing at the top of a ramp but you can't get enough momentum to get back up there and now you can't backtrack for it" on any first playthrough. Which is basically why knuckles and tails exist, now that I think about it, but who plays the non-title characters first?

rogue wave posted:Wonderboy looks like a terrific example of diff characters with diff attack styles and considering the retro mode and modern painted mode has all kinds of replay ability from what I can tell. It really doesn't. It's more a metroidvania both in "there's one meant for any given situation" and "you unlock them incrementally over time". It's not bad per se, and the art style is great, but if it weren't for the art it'd be a $25 game gear-era virtual console entry.

Personally I'm stunned that Mania released in a state where it takes 10-15 seconds to go to sleep from the quick menu.

parasyte posted:I think the Anker USBC power bank only works via USBC if you hard power off and then power on the Switch while the USBC cable is connected to both or something. I've never had an issue with mine, it's literally just plug in and go. The only think with the Anker is that you need to hit the button on it before you plug a C-to-C cord into it or it'll think it's supposed to be drawing power to charge itself, but that's the case with anything USBC and it's pretty clearly stated in the directions that come with it. And if you have a good A-to-C cord it's a non-issue, but those cords are the ones that needed a Google guy to sit down and test to see which ones were "good" or not so I try to avoid them just in general.

8-bit Miniboss posted:Has anyone pledged to the GripCase Kickstarter? I've been thinking about it because I do see myself taking out the Switch more and more in the near future. Grip alternatives? quote:Based on our past experience, we anticipate being able to fulfill orders within 6-8 weeks, but we should note that forecasting demand is an inexact science. If order volumes exceed our expectations, it might take slightly longer to fulfill orders. quote:$89,056 pledged of $11,894 goal I don't know about "near" future... Honestly I think it looks interesting but the amount of volume it adds and the explicit "our massive rear end carrying case will probably be the only thing that can handle the grips" means I'm likely going to pass, since that kind of defeats the point of it being portable :vv: Also: 1. It's a single piece of rubber that covers the shoulder buttons, which already sounds pretty  to me2. They claim it's thin enough to stick in the dock with the case on, but given that there was already scratching issues without extra bulk I can't help but think that's going to exacerbate the issue even for people who didn't have issues previously 3. I'd be a little worried about something that adds insulation to the back of a console that already runs a little on the hot side in the dock
