I was fortunate enough to dunk my left Joycon into a cup of water and buy a new one so that even if I did have the defect, I don't anymore. :smuggo:

Cave Story+ if you've never played it before.

I played MK8DX 2P tabletop at a recent party, and the guy I played with said he needed a Switch now. The system works!

I've gotten like two people to buy Switches from bringing it to my gf's coffee shop. I need to own stock.

HDTVs usually have 1-4 frames of input lag between what you do in the controller, and what's shown on screen. This is most noticeable in shooters, fighters, and precision platformers.
The screen on the Switch is probably as fast as a monitor (9-17ms, or 0.5-1 frame).

Fascinating! Is there any way to play on a big screen in a nice chair without lag?

You can't beat a CRT, but some flat-screens like this one come close

Thanks! This is the first time I've ever noticed it.

Anyone who's played Cave Story know if it's possible to ferret out all the secret bits and endings and weapon combinations and such without using a guide? I bought it and got an ending, but it looks like there's more than that to it. I've really enjoyed it, can't believe it's been around this long and i've never played it before.

The game takes pains to make you feel bad about things you could have done differently.

For more specific info, you can hold your instruction manual up to the light if you got the physical copy. It helps but it doesn't magically get you the ending because the good ending lies past some of the most stupid hard platforming/shooting I've ever played.

No news as of yet, but Frozenbyte are scheduling the release sometime this year.

Nintendo updated their financial results today. They've sold 4.7 million units of the Switch and 13.6 million units of software till the end of June.

There's also a list of million sellers:

The Legend of Zelda: BOTW (3.92 million)

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (3.53)

1-2-Switch (1.22)

ARMS (1.18)

For comparison, the Wii U had lifetime sales of about 13.5m. Question: how do console sales normally trend over time? Do they sell more at launch, or at every Christmas, or what? How many Switches do you think will move Holiday 2017?

That happens in like literally every console thread with at least a couple people. They decide because they don't want to play the console right this second that somehow it's burning a hole in their pocket and they ought to flip it and rebuy it when a new game comes down the pipe a month or two later because that totally makes financial sense ok.

That's been me. I never rebought my Wii U though...

Feel like I bought the Switch a little early as there's very little out right now but being "in" at the start of the Splatoon online play this go-around was worth it and I've enjoyed having it during trips so far as well.

Same, but I got a 3DS to help with the wait and there's infinity games for that thing. I also just came back to Disgaea and that's going better this time when I only play one board a day. Once school (my job) starts back I won't have time for more than a Disgaea board and a few games of Splatoon a day.

The d pad for sure sucks. I'm just saying you can just not press the sides of the buttons in the mean time.

It seems like the Rayman demo can only be downloaded from the link in the news app. You can't search for it on the e-store.

It's a coming release (the Switch eShop is bad)

I like the NSMB (well U mostly) games and I agree. If there has to be another non-Maker 2D game, I hope it's in a pixel artstyle. 2D platformers just don't work as well with 3D models imo.

I think Rayman Legends has the perfect art style for a platformer. I wish they'd do that with Sanic.

Is there a Pokken thread? I will get that game and I will want to have opinions in the right place

And so I can learn to read this:

Ventana posted:

Good thing a Machamp player made top 4 in the World Championship last weekend (and was in grand finals last year as well).

I don't play Machamp yet (I'll probably try to pick him up as a secondary) but in looking at what Azazel does, Machamp relies on using his good armor from the far-ranged CA and b.X in duel phase, good ways to close in space with his j.X in both phases, his Karate Chop in the air which nullifies projectiles and is very useful to close in, and his very strong shield which lasts a long while. He does have tools to get in on the opponent, but they require some kind of read (which is not unique in Grappler/Heavy character design in FGs).

He very much looks like the embodiment of "struggle to make the reads in neutral, great payoff when close in" in a game with strong zoning options. But he can still close in with proper reads (j.X is really really good for this). Needless to say, if you don't enjoy playing that style or enjoy learning to compete with it, maybe don't play that character?

But if it makes you feel better, he's looking to get some nice buffs from the arcade version. His c.X can now be canceled into a roll, which might make it a nice low profile movement tool to help out duel phase even more.

Apologies then, I always thought that notation was straightforward. j, b, and c are Jump/Back/Crouch abbreviated. The rest is just buttons. It's probably easier to read if you played the game and know the limited types of moves.

None necessary. Your post was cool and informative. Can't wait for September 22.
