deadly_pudding posted:Ideally, the control scheme would be updated so you don't need the old controller or other extra hardware? This would be like a "port" of a classic PC game requiring you to dig out and install your ancient 16-bit soundblaster from the 90s, or else it hard-locks your machine. C'mon dude this comparison is loving silly

I wish they had instead just done a 3DS remake of the Gamecube one, and maybe also the DS sequel where Jenny is an adult that they never localized for some reason. I also wish Chibi-Robo was a playable character in Smash Bros.

The whole idea for that setup is fascinating though. Like, someone came up with that hilariously convoluted setup for online chat and matchmaking, and several other people looked at it and saw nothing wrong with it.

You guys who manage to get Spla2n, tell me how it is compared to the first one because I'm afraid I'll get it and not love it as much as the original with the difference in form factor, and also when the first splatfest is so I can try to find a Switch before then, and also a Switch because those seem to be hard to find at non-scalper prices.SeANMcBAY posted:That was for Club Nintendo which shut down 2 years ago.

Improbable Lobster posted:The motion control are real good and worth getting used to How do the motion controls work when you presumably either have to move your head along with the screen if you're playing it in handheld mode, and can't move it at all if it's docked? Did they include an accelerometer in the pro controller this time and/or can you move the joycons around for the same effect?

more controller questions: Should I hold out for this? on the one hand it's wired and I haven't had a wired controller since the PS2, on the other hand it's half the price of the official. But Hori is supposed to be the quality third party manufacturer, right? https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Swi...+pro+controller edit: No motion control, never mind.

Neddy Seagoon posted:If you're concerned about hand size or whatever, just get the official Pro Controller. It's nice and comfortable (I got the Splatoon-themed one today myself) and the buttons are much bigger than on the JoyCons. I probably will either way, my kids will likely be using the joycons more than I do but their hands are probably small enough that it won't be an issue anytime soon. I'm actually more concerned with them breaking them or losing them in the couch or something. Gunder posted:Nintendo is so backwards. They make fantastic games, which is pretty hard to do, but mightily gently caress up their voice chat functionality, which should be way easier to do. I mean, I guess doing it this way does mean I can just use the bluetooth earbuds I already use for voice chat, so that's cool. And if I give it some thought, offloading that functionality onto separate hardware isn't really a bad idea, unless you're one of those people that does all their regular gaming wearing headphones to listen to game audio. To me, it's the part where putting matchmaking exclusively on a remote app just seems so weird. It would seem less weird if you could still do the same thing on your game screen, I think. And it would also be pretty cool if they used this concept to add optional second screen functionality to games, but that would probably require too much effort. Why don't any consoles just let you connect a bluetooth device for audio, anyway? Is it expensive to license? I would think not, since you can get it in a lovely $10 phone nowadays, but I'm probably wrong.

Every other usage case just talk to your phone like normal. Well I mean, it's not like using it in handheld mode with headphones is some weird out-there use case or something, so it's understandable that you wouldn't want a billion wires and connections if you're out somewhere and not at home.

But I'll get over it.

You can check the power levels yourself if you drill a hole in the top left corner, right above the touch screen, and shine a pen light in there. That's the best way to tell how much battery is left imo. Manky posted:Wouldn't be a consumer electronics thread without it!

The Tetris part of Puyo Puyo Tetris is practically loving unplayable with the Pro Controller because the d-pad is like an Xbox 360 level of inaccurate will randomly hard drop like 3 pieces in a row and this goddamn game doesn't allow custom button configs in AD 2017 The joycons aren't any better with the separate buttons for the d-pad equivalent, and it all makes me wanna loving die because I just wanna play some goddamn Tetris How did Nintendo gently caress up the d-pad, why am I in this nightmare timeline

Al Borland Corp. posted:How can the split joypad be a problem in Tetris? If you're worried about accidentally dropping pieces, that will never happen in the joycon buttons, you just aren't going to accidentally press up. The joycon buttons just suck for playing the game is all, almost as bad as using the analog stick. Although even there I had a couple of instances where when I wanted to hard drop one piece it would also hard drop the next 1-2. It's bad times either way for me.

It's the same problems the first game on Wii U had, along with "somehow an enemy Aerospray has longer range than my Splattershot Pro" or "why are my shots going straight through this fucker, who turns around and pops me in one shot" or "why is the enemy able to swim away through enemy ink / ground where there is literally no ink at all" and yet, I am still playing the poo poo out of this game.

I've definitely had a couple of times where I was shooting directly at where the guy is going to land for a couple seconds before he did, and then I just explode immediately when he lands while he walks away unscathed.

THE AWESOME GHOST posted:It's very good but unfortunately the DPad is extremely mushy and bad. Like it didn't know what direction I was pressing in menus in Zelda, for something like fighting games or Tetris it's actually frustrating how bad it is. Yeah, Puyo Puyo Tetris is practically unplayable with it and it hurts me in my soul. I've googled around about it and allegedly it's something that only happens with some pro controllers though, and Nintendo will send you a replacement if you ask. Whether that replacement also has the flaw seems to be up in the air.
