Is there a general consensus as to what 3rd party controller is a decent alternative to the Pro Controller? I was looking at the Pro A Wireless one on Amazon for $35ish. I tried an $18 wireless controller recently and the shoulder buttons were booty lol. Would ideally like to stay under $40 or so.

Commander Keene posted:8BitDo's SN30 Pro + is considered the gold standard in third-party controllers and there's the added benefit of also being usable on PC. I haven't used it though, I personally have [url="https://"https://www.amazon.com/Mayflash-Magic-NS-Wireless-Controller-Nintendo/dp/B079B5KHWQ/ref=sr_1_3?crid=2L0MEMV5Z63OM&dchild=1&keywords=magic-ns+adapter&qid=1613960213&sprefix=magic-ns%2Caps%2C166&sr=8-3"]one of these[/url] to use with my Wii U Pro Controller, though it's also compatible with all sorts of other controllers, like DualShocks and most DInput/XInput gamepads. Oh poo poo, I never considered just getting an adapter. I have spare wireless 360 and DS4 controllers laying around doing nothing.

I picked up Hyrule Warriors Definitive Edition earlier today. My first Switch game. Played it with my cousin who is currently quarantining with me. Game is fun as hell, lol. I know nothing of Zelda lore or what the story is, but drat the co-op combat/missions are super addictive.

Are counterfeit microSD cards still a thing on Amazon? I'd like to expand the storage on my Switch since I couldn't have Smash Bros and Hyrule Warriors installed at the same time, but I'm wary of what store/what I should look out for when buying.

Butterfly Valley posted:Yes they absolutely are. Only buy sandisk or samsung. Advice used to be make sure you were buying from Amazon direct and not third party sellers, but others say they mix the stock so they've still gotten duds, although personally I've not had any problems with the numerous sandisk cards I've bought. Don't bother with any of the official nintendo branded ones, and get a bigger one than you might think you need because space fills up fast. I just recently moved from my 200GB one to a 512GB one I got in a recent sale for ~€50. Ok cool, good to know. Thanks! I was just thinking 256GB would be enough for me. Maybe I'll consider a 400+ card then, lol. I'll wait around for a Best Buy sale.

American McGay posted:It also worries me that they made the decision because they didn't feel confident enough in delivering 1080p performance in handheld mode, which isn't a good sign with regards to the power bump. Is it possible they maybe dumped beefier hardware in the dock? I'm ok with a 720p OLED display if games are able to stay locked at 60FPS (or higher) at that resolution when in handheld mode.

Mister Facetious posted:Why would Nintendo go with a more expensive display with higher battery drain, with the same resolution One of OLED's benefits is power efficiency. Also, maybe it's a 720p 90Hz OLED display or something. If the hw spec bump is decent enough, I'd happily take gaming in 720p at a consistent 60 to 90 FPS over higher resolution for the handheld experience.

repiv posted:4K docked doesn't necessarily mean 4K games in general, it could be an Xbox Series S type situation where the system can technically output 4K but games generally render at ~1080p with a native 4K HUD and menus on top And yeah, I think the assumption is that new switch games will almost certainly be rendered at like 900p or 1080p in docked mode and then upscaled to 4K using DLSS.

404notfound posted:I've just been going through it myself. Apparently there are harder difficulties on NG+, but the default hardest at "Hard" is pretty braindead easy. The only time I've wiped so far is on a boss who keeps regenerating himself if you don't destroy three things fast enough, and has an instant kill AOE ability that follows you around—and I only died to it because by the time I realized it was an instant kill, it touched all three of my guys and I wiped. Thanks for this! I'm really just looking to scratch an itch for a pretty looking, linear-ish action RPG with braindead but fun combat, so this sounds like its right up my alley! I also have no problem with cringey shounen anime tropes either, lmao. If I end up liking this game enough, I'll maybe pick up Collection of Mana at some point—which would be my first foray into the world of JPRGs

homeless snail posted:Monster Hunter is also just an extremely soloable game, I'm not sure how Rise splits it up but most of the previous games have two different quest hubs and progressions for single player and multiplayer, and I still mostly did the multiplayer quests solo if I didn't feel like getting online Are Monster Hunter games story-driven? The quest hub thing makes me assume they're not. I always just figured MH games were like MMORPGs—a genre I've really only experienced through Guild Wars 2 for the last like 7ish years—which is why I never bothered to try. After watching a handful of Rise gameplay videos though, it's piqued my interest a little, but these days I'm looking to play narrative heavy games with good action/combat systems.

The rumor suggests the system is capable of running games at up to 120 FPS on the 720p display, which doesn't sound too unreasonable tbh. Why else go with such a low resolution display anyways? They either want to hit certain battery life numbers in like an eco mode and/or obtain high frame rates in a performance mode or whatever, right? Please note I am also speaking out of my rear end, so don't take this post seriously.

I said come in! posted:It's pretty obvious not a single rumor out of Nintendo has been true. I question whether or not Nintendo is really truly working on a updated Switch. They probably no doubt have a brand new console in the works at this point, but it's still a couple years away. It would not surprise me if there is no Switch refresh at all. Or if there were plans for it, it was canceled due to the pandemic, and Nintendo will just move ahead with a new console instead. I gave up thinking about Switch Pro after Nintendo made it clear they are not talking about it this month. Gonna laugh when they announce later tonight.

The Dreamcast was ahead of its time. I still have mine; traded in my N64 at Toys R Us to get it. Was fortunate to find out the model I got could play burnt games without any modding. Good times. It was the last console I owned before purchasing a Wii.

DEEP STATE PLOT posted:lmfao no it wasn't Just my opinion. It having a modem for online play and keyboard support was pretty radical during the pre-PS2 era. Also VGA support; I remember hooking my Dreamcast up to a PC monitor and being all  The VMUs were also a neat, if completely out there, idea; I loved how you could use the VMU to select your plays in NFL 2K. Also no other console had offered near perfect arcade ports at the time.
