Last night I decided I'd take a shot at scoring a copy of Ring Fit, as luck would have it Target's website said my local store had one copy left so I ordered it and figured I'd pick it up today Then I thought more about it and figured Target's inventory counts on their website were probably wrong and whatever worker went to pull the game from the shelves would find the shelves empty, so I went looking elsewhere and managed to order a copy off eBay Turns out Target's website was actually right and I picked it up this morning, and right as I did so eBay let me know that their copy had shipped so it was too late to cancel it Long story short I now have one copy in hand and another on the way of a game that I thought would be hard to find, lol

I thought I read somewhere that Nintendo had basically zero infrastructure for working from home so they pretty much had everything grind to a halt while they scrambled to get that up and running

Red Warrior posted:Here's a reminder for the weekend: pick up a Short Hike if you haven't already. It's just a delightful little game. Nthing the recommendations for A Short Hike, I only got about an hour into it yesterday but it’s a real treat and I don’t think I’ve ever chuckled so much at a game’s dialogue

I, for one, am happy that Nintendo hasn’t been trying to occupy the same space as Microsoft and Sony for over a decade now, and would rather they not start to try now with a Switch Pro or what the gently caress ever Nobody is buying a Nintendo console for the latest and greatest first-person shooter with XXXTRA REALISTIC GRAPHICS, they’re buying a Nintendo console to have their buddies over to take shots and dunk on each other at Smash Bros

Violet_Sky posted:I honestly don't like to sell my old game systems for "Improved Versions." This stems back from when I was a child and had to earn my game systems via good grades and such. I earned them and have good memories about that. Pretty sure I didn’t earn mine so much as my family just felt sorry for me and got it to make me feel better; they generally keep Christmas gifts small, clothes and trinkets and whatnot, but the year I broke my jaw and spent the holidays wired shut, they loaded me up with a Switch and a ton of accessories (but no games  )

The fact that they basically just ported SM64 and bumped up the resolution took out a huge chunk of my enthusiasm for this, it went from a must-have to "eh, maybe I'll split it with my roommate since he's never played SMS" What a letdown

yellowyams posted:Has it? I figured they're greedy and wouldn't waste the budget on making new assets for a whole game if a bunch of people weren't going to use them but I could be super ignorant and missed all the games that do this since I don't play many big studio games outside of Nintendo and even then far less of them than probably most Nintendo fans. Like I'm not trying to rub it in people's faces if they don't like retro graphics or anything, I agree it would be ideal if they had both options. But the closest I've personally seen of something like that is letting you change a character skin while leaving the rest of the game the same. The Halo Anniversary edition has the option to toggle between the original and remade graphics on the fly, and in the Halo: Master Chief collection, they added this ability to Halo 2 as well

We’ll probably never know for sure but I can totally buy that SM3DW was supposed to be the big holiday release and got pushed back due to the ‘Rona Also normally I’d say we’d have had a new BOTW2 trailer by now if they were planning on releasing the game this year, but since Nintendo’s apparently now just doing poo poo-‘n-run product announcements with like two weeks’ notice before release...I guess it may be possible. Not holding my breath though.

Waffleopolis posted:I got Ring Fit Adventure so it can help me lose weight and get it in better shape. Taking it easy so far but it feels fun. I am hoping they do more with the Ring Fit controller. I’d find this completely insufferable, but if they make it an option for those who want it and let me keep my current controls, that’d be cool

Rupert Buttermilk posted:And if you want a REAL trip, play the still - supremely-excellent Super Mario Bros 2, which is "what if Mario, but weird and still good?" I've been playing through this lately and I completely forgot about the level with the LSD clouds, SMW2 rules American McGay posted:Galaxy/2 is my absolute favorite Mario game to play but honestly it might be kinda weird playing it with a standard controller. I was one of the weirdos who really enjoyed the nunchuck + shake to spin controls. Very fluid and comfortable. Play it with detached Joy-Cons, it feels extremely similar to the Wiimote + nunchuk combo First thoughts on Super Mario Galaxy: Cash Grab Edition: I usually prefer Joy-Cons for anything involving motion controls and this is no different; trying to point/aim with the gyros on the Pro Controller felt unbearably awkward and clunky. I do appreciate that they mapped the spin/activate launch stars/etc functions to Y, I prefer that for spinning but somehow still find shaking the controller to activate launch stars to be way more satisfying. The cursor can sometimes be jumpy and erratic; not a game-breaker by any means, but it can be frustrating while trying to scoop up a bunch of star bits at a time. Also, as noted in some reviews, there's some really obvious color-banding and graininess issues with some of the level backgrounds, to the point where it's distracting at times; but, all it takes is a few seconds of whistling along to the soundtrack for me to forget all about that. A few very minor issues, but overall, it's still just as magical as the first time I played it  (I loving love this soundtrack so, so much)

Waltzing Along posted:Is there a way to fix the movement controls in SMG? They are fine until you go under water...and then they invert for no good reason. Yeah, I was having a drat blast playing Galaxy right up until the first underwater level, and it was like hitting a cement wall - incredibly frustrating controls and camera, and on top of that, you can't even move the camera yourself

ThatWhiteGuy posted:Does anyone have a recommendation on how to play Galaxy docked? I started with a Pro Controller and it feels a little weird using the gyro. I might try joy cons but I’m always hesitant to use them because I’m afraid of drifting, I try to only use them in handheld mode these days. Joy-Cons are way better for Galaxy for gyro purposes alone

I believe I read somewhere that it is indeed at least based on the BOTW engine, and apparently Link will have most of his combat moves retained from BOTW as well Side note, why are the underwater controls in Galaxy so loving HORSE poo poo

veni veni veni posted:Has anyone else had problems with Hades+Joycons? I thought my joycons might be broken (they very well may be) because I would hit these stretches in hades where all of a sudden I couldn't attack/dodge. Then I'd pause the game and the buttons were still working. unpausing would make them start working again for a bit, but then it would continue. No issues with the pro controller. I’ve noticed a similar issue with the joy-cons not working well for a few games (Super Mario Word on SNESflix, for one) but fine with most games, and with the Pro Controller working fine on those few specific games. Not sure why it really even makes a difference but it is what it is

Narcissus1916 posted:New Donk City is stupendously amazing and absolutely worth the wait. Odyssey really does feel like Nintendo just throwing in every crazy idea they had, included them, and then polishing everything to perfection. Yeah, I was very pleasantly surprised at how many things they included that nominally might not seem like something you’d expect to see in a Mario game. The semi-realistic dragon really threw me for a loop. Also, the part where you take control of Bowser seemed wild at the time, but thinking about it, it’s really just the logical endpoint of a game whose entire premise is taking control of your enemies. Also, the music may not have the “new and magical” feeling that Galaxy’s music did, but it is still on loving point Odyssey is easily the best Mario game yet and I can’t wait for the inevitable sequel

GauchoNaut2085 posted:My joycons are starting to die with phantom movement and I was wondering if the pro controller is worth it or if there are some well acknowledged alternatives that I should grab instead? The joycons weren't fragile persay but I would like to know if the pro controller is durable enough to be worth it. I find the Pro Controller to be painfully awkward for anything involving motion controls (Mario Galaxy being the worst offender so far), so i stick with the Joy-Cons for those, but I prefer it for anything that doesn’t involve motion controls or has an option to bypass them.

ThatWhiteGuy posted:It’s more likely that they are just saying that people were saying that in order to generate clicks. It seems very unlikely to me that anyone above middle school age would think AOC is flat out replacing BotW2 Aonuma flat-out said in the AoC announcement video that they were still working on BOTW2 and just needed a bit more time to show us something, though I suppose not everyone watched the full video instead of just the trailer
