Overbite posted:Pro tip for all you new switch owners: it has terrible on board wifi. Real bad. Try switching channels to 1 or 11, and maybe to 5GHz instead of 2.4GHz. There are a whole lot of reasons wifi can be lovely, and it's not just the console's fault (mine's been perfectly fine).

CharlieFoxtrot posted:I haven't had a Nintendo handheld since the original Game Boy. I am looking forward to being able to play Pokémon, Fire Emblem, Advance Wars, Phoenix Wright, Layton, Picross... Go dump $100 on a 2DS as well then (or, you know, even more money on a 'new' 2/3DS), because the 3DS has some great games too. It even has some classic Gameboy games.

Twist And Pout! posted:I'm walking into gamestop to get a switch now solely because a bayonetta 2 re-release was teased. Zelda and Mario are cool too I guess but I'll buy bayonetta as many times as platinum lets me. I'll probably end up using it as the most portable jackbox 3 setup yet though. But have you preordered one, or both, of the Bayonetta amiibo?

Spellman posted:DS games should just be downloadable through the 3DS. I know there are some obstacles that make this difficult, but if they intend to continue bolstering the importance of the 3DS as a strong handheld, they should do it there. Maybe a future model could do this The problem is that it's very much a hardware issue and not a software one. Not to mention that changing the hardware architecture to accommodate this could potentially brick random 3DS games. Just look at PS2 Incompatibility page on Wikipedia to get an idea of the obstacle you'd be facing, and that is just from minor hardware revisions. The DS portions of the hardware simply are not designed to address internal memory at all, and the only way they have to get a digital DS game working is by some seriously fudged code to make it look like a DSi download title (the only kind of internal memory a DS operating system CAN address). Which just plain isn't doable for most DS games due to size limits.

Speaking of Splatoon; Ausgoons, Target has the current lowest price at $64. No mention of the Pro Controller's price, but that'll probably get $10 knocked off as well. Maybe, if we wish real hard  .

Cojawfee posted:I just don't see how the 3DS could survive. You can spend 200 dollars for this one handheld, or spend 300 on this other handheld that plays big boy games. The 3DS is very much on the way out by 2018. And even then, the 2018 titles are delayed localizations of existing releases. New titles are already down to a trickle, and there wasn't exactly a big push for it at e3 like in previous years outside of the Metroid 2 remake and a brief off-hand mention of the Sun/Moon variants.

Blazing Zero posted:we're getting the opportunity to give nintendo money just like sony and microsoft. be thankful for it I don't think you get just how expensive and complex proper network infrastructure is. And that's without whatever SLA's the ISP's are bleeding them over. Nintendo's been able to cheap out on it because they had all of two dedicated online games. Pushing through a proper setup with several million active users across different games is a big step up from the halfassed job they did for Splatoon and Mario Kart 8.

deadly_pudding posted:The issue with trying to compete with Overwatch is that you can only introduce so many features and complexities to a team-based Hero Shooter before it's actually just a MOBA. And then you're competing with League and DOTA, instead. They're chasing the same cash-fueled dream several-dozen failed MMO's in the late 00's did with WoW's success, without understanding that they're just not going to swing that playerbase because it's already invested in its time-consuming addiction of choice.

Viewtiful Jew posted:Finally a reason for them to make the junked Arwing amiibo. I actually looked that up. The reason it doesn't exist is because it's too pointy for Wee Little Timmy and he might poke his eye out.

Quest For Glory II posted:I mean, that stuff is fine, and if they want to incorporate the Mario Maker website into the app for Mario Maker Switch (which I'm sure exists at this point and will be announced eventually), then great. but don't tether voice chat to the dang thing. inviting friends or w/e, browsing leaderboards, doing second-screen stuff for games, that's what an app should be for The reason voice chat is part of the app is quite probably because you're already holding a thing with a microphone built into it. One of the biggest no-sells of getting voice chat going in multiplayer is "oh, I don't have a mic  ".

DLC Inc posted:if the N64 controller copyright means an N64 Classic is in the pipeline, I can't begin to imagine how they'd pad out 20 games. Sin and Punishment would definitely be on it as their "never released here" piece like with Star Fox 2, along with probably Mischief Makers as they're both Treasure games. And quite possibly the only way anyone could get Mischief Makers to actually work in emulated/VC form. Off the top my head;

Why they put Moray Towers in the launch lineup, or kept it at all, is beyond me though.

Takoluka posted:Splatoon split-screen would be an atrocious experience, and I can't figure out why anyone would want it. The simple hard truth about split-screen Splatoon is the hardware can't handle it. All that ink has to be dynamically rendered four times over, and it's not exactly a light load on the processor to start with.

irlZaphod posted:Software is a big thing too, generally early adopters/fans will pick up a console at launch. As more system seller games get released, sales will pick up again. I'd say a lot of WiiU owners waited since BOTW, MK8 and to a lesser extent Splatoon 2 probably weren't reason enough to pick up a Switch when they had those games (or earlier iterations) on the WiiU. Super Mario Odyssey is likely to bring those people in, among others. Maybe Xenoblade Chronicles 2, also. Also there's a fair few people probably waiting for a decent-sized library in general to justify the buy-in on a Switch. Christmas purchases aside, I'd expect to see a decent uptick early next year.
