Every now and then there's some puzzles I like but usually they're very tedious and can only be solved the one way the designers want, and it's just gameplay that belongs in the dustbin of history. Even a great puzzle game like Outer Wilds frustrated me in a few spots and I went to get a FAQ, because it's often hard to tell if you're doing the right thing wrong and just need another try, or just doing the wrong thing.

I got my kid Link's awakening from the library for this spring break and I'm hoping to find a guide to print out for him , because he absolutely hit a wall and gave up on it last time we tried it out. When there's so many other things to play the idea of beating your head against a wall isn't even something he can comprehend.

Just give them a pdf of the Fiftieth issue of Nintendo Power, then let them figure out the last two-thirds of the game.

glad im not the only one that thinks so. i really dislike the world cities' tracks, i find their style really jarring with the rest of the game's feel. the other mario themed ones are fine, rosalina's ice world is particularly good looking i thought.

My biggest problem with the Tour tracks are that all the city ones have overlapping lines/route changes with every lap, and the signposting is trash, so it's easy to go the wrong way if you don't have them memorized.

If Sony is already talking about the PS6 coming out in the next couple years that seems like a teeny tiny little baby step for Nintendo

Have you seen The Nintendo Switch? It's using a 2015 SoC developed in 2013, that's been downclocked to be the equivalent (when docked) of a console released in 2005/6, which were designed in ~2002/3.

Mons Hubris posted:

Wow, I didn’t realize it was that bad. I only play handheld but I thought docked was a little worse than PS4 graphics but roughly comparable.

Docked is very similar to ps3/360, but has advantages with solid state media/storage (better loading, somewhat), and eight times the ram at 4gb (3 usable, 1 for the system & os), though it isn't terribly fast either.

The end result is that textures/game resolution will have a higher native res, or the framerate will be higher/more stable. But that's about it. And undocked is obviously worse, due to more stringent energy constraints.

Switch rules so hard that the studios developing for it don't have to spend a billion dollars acquiring and then shuttering whole swaths of the industry, they can just make and sell games, so old fashioned.

Back when this thread started (or was there one before it? I can't remember anymore), the was some article where indie devs were saying that their games would sell twice as often on the Switch as the PSN store.

That said, this is Nintendo, who build to a lower manufacturing price target than anyone else, so uh, yeah; get used to the eMMC version of the Deck.

I don't know what that means and I have a Deck :confused: but uhhh, if the next Switch is basically a Deck with Nintendo games (and backwards compatibility with all the poo poo I already bought on Switch), then yeah, sign me the gently caress up!

eMMC is what the Switch currently uses for internal storage and the game cards, rather than the lightning fast speeds of NVME in modern computers, the ps5, and the Series X.

It's better than a hard disk drive, and that's about it.
