They all have single player, a fun campaign mode. But for 1 and 2 at least, I would say those modes are too short to be worth buying the game of single player is what you're mostly into. Maybe 3's will be bigger.

It'll definitely have a single-player mode. Splatoon 2 had two campaigns (one at launch, one DLC one that was really good) and also the Splatoon universe has a lot of ~*~deep lore~*~ to go into.

But also I normally am not into competitive shooters but I think Splatoon is a lot of fun so it's worth trying even if it isn't normally your thing IMO

splatoon 2 has a fun co-op mode but for some reason they only let you play it for certain hours of the day

hopefully 3 will expand on that mode and remove the stupid time restriction

They did that because they stated they were too afraid of queue splitting making it hard to get into any online mode that they restricted the schedule heavily to avoid that. But the playerbase was large enough that it really wasn't an issue and they got a lot more lenient with the schedule later. Hopefully whatever horde mode is in 3 drops the schedule entirely.

The co-op mode lead dev wanted to expand on that mode, but the DLC campaign took up so much time and resources there was no time to do that, much to his dismay.

Make sure to mention that Nintendo products are like NFTs. People scalp the heck out of the limited stock they decide to put out to the point where most Nintendo products are worth more than RSP and since Nintendo never marks down the prices of any first party or exclusive games, they stay full price until they're collector's items worth hundreds.

...is there really a huge scalper after-market for NFTs? the things you can right-click, save-as and possess them even if you don't "own" them?

I need to actually go and look and see what this is at some point. I love the Pikmin games but I've been done with mobile stuff for a while now. If anything might get me back in, it's Pikmin.

Go back to the fishing hole later, and all the fish will be bigger. Don't think you're done with it, just as a kid.

Buy an 8bitdo controller
I'm still rocking my SN30Pro+ over a year later, but I've had connection issues with it a few times and that can be pretty frustrating, so I'm wondering if I should replace it with a Pro controller one of these days. Being able to start the system without having to push its power button would be nice too :shobon:

Other than the N64 emulator for NSO being extremely bad, Nintendo has absolutely been killing it with the Switch. The library of exclusives on this system are amazing and incredibly fun. Currently very excited for the Animal Crossing expansion, Shin Megami Tensei V, and then Splatoon 3. Metroid Dread is one of my top 5 favorite games of 2021 as well.

Is N64 emulation extremely bad, because most people on here say it's fine and serviceable

It's pretty bad but in general most people haven't touched an N64 in decades or never have and won't notice the difference. Hopefully patches improve things.

mixed depending on the game. OoT is the one with the most noticeable issues like broken fog effects and glitched textures. it has like 5 frames of input lag which is pretty drat bad in a game that runs at 20 fps

the other games in the expansion seem mostly fine imo

A real hellraiser


The thing is on the Wii every N64 title they emulated they built a custom emulator specifically for that title.

On the WiiU they built one more generic emulator that has patches to run differently on a per game basis, and these are applied at runtime, which contributes to input lag, and makes things overall less accurate.

But it's all still extremely close to where only hardcore hobbyists could tell you the difference in most cases.

However the other factor is people played N64 on CRTs with wired controllers. And even on the Wii, most people were still playing on a CRT. So the input lag of a wireless Bluetooth controller on an LCD television is going to seem extremely noticeable by comparison. And the natural way CRTs run often make the deficiencies of older games less noticeable as well.
