Why would t it be possible?

It’s the same “VR” that cell phones do; Nintendo not even the first major company to do it with cardboard.

https://store.google.com/us/config/google_cardboard?sku=_google_cardboard_single&gclsrc=aw.ds&&gclid=Cj0KCQjw1pblBRDSARIsACfUG11BfKAYIcRxiu06rtkvR1AjU2DmJfAF3uEfsSc8CUmDFLFu6065W7MaApySEALw_wcB

I just figured it wouldn’t be possible with like even a moderately acceptable experience.

Edit; for a real game. Obviously most of the cell phone VR is like looking around at Star fields or something dumb like that.

Cool, I’m interested to find out.

My daughter plays with VR all the time at code ninjas, so if it’s sort of acceptable I’d be interested.

Would consider getting like Windows Mixed Reality headset but my office is just not a good space for it.

There is no way the Switch is running BOTW at 60fps with proper barrel-distorted stereoscopy

I imagine it's the game running in stereo at 30 without head tracking; the alternatives are vomit-inducing

Does the stereoscopic not really need to render it twice?

Like aren’t there areas that one eye could see that the other cannot?

BOTW is already 30fps... so wouldn’t stereoscopic be even worse?

2. Nintendo plans to release a smaller, cheaper, more portable Switch model this fall.
Following on the initial report from the Wall Street Journal last month, Nikkei too confirms that Nintendo plans to put out a smaller Switch that is geared more towards portable play. The intriguing detail from the report: While the main use case of the device is for playing portably outside the home, Nikkei says it can still be connected to a television.

Ayyyy sounds like this thing is everything I want! Perfect.

Really hope I can still use my existing docks though...

Western FFX+X2 collection requires the cart to be in the system to play FFX-2, even though it's a download.  ???



Weird shit from Squenix.  I ordered the Asian version (has FFX-2 on the cart instead of as a download) anyway so whatever.

I still need to play this (I'll beat it before DD2 comes out, I promise), but when I do I'll stick with my 2nd dip on PC. I played a bit when it came out and it just doesn't scream portable to me because it feels more like an action game controls-wise. Plus also because of that 60fps on PC feels more worth it to me than portable.

YESSS!!! :hyper  I see it being described as an "action RPG."  My guess is U WRONG AND IT MUSOU.  It's also coming for PS4 BTW.

Reactions seem to be negative though, lol.  Everyone was expecting straight port of Persona 5.  Wouldn't be surprised if that's also still coming.

I bet they will.  Can't see a musou game just having characters from only P5.  There's too few, right?

Depends. Probably as many as Berserk Musou or the first One Piece Musou.

Thinking about it, even if it’s P3-P5 Musou it’s still pretty zzz because they’ve already done that crossover with Persona Q and Persona Arena and Persona Dancing games and it’s stale.

What would’ve been interesting on the other hand, would’ve been a Megaten musou where characters like Devil Summoner Raidou, the SMT3 protag, the Persona protags, Digital Devil Saga protags cross over and interact fighting SMT demons & angels musou style.

They're only looking for a 'few' positions.

Such as:
Art director
Lead character artist
Lead graphics engineer
Lead cinematics artist
Lead External Environment Artist

Once those are filled in they can start pre-production on this thing for real.

Working at Retro means joining the family – locally and globally. It means breakfast & picnics with the team. It means collaboration with our Japanese partners. But for each individual, it means giving back to that family by bringing creativity, consideration and respect to the strong, wonderful IPs of Nintendo.

If you’re passionate about quality, about being a part of a creative culture and about Nintendo, you’re already one step closer to being part of Retro Studios.

i swear i honestly do not understand this whole "lol dumbass devs" thing people say when a game company announces that they're restarting development to release a better game. like would it be better to you if they went ahead and charged $60 for some brand-destroying poo or are you just mad that you can't have your videogame right now

This one is funny just because of how much of a clusterfuck the entire thing is. The Star Wars 1313 team was doing Metroid after they got picked up by Bandai Namco. Then it got cancelled.

Retro had fuck all to do (didn't finish anything in the past 6 years). So they pitched a Metroid prototype after being asked to look into porting Metroid Prime Trilogy to Switch to promote MP4.
Nintendo liked the Metroid prototype better than what Bandai Namco is developing. They were trying out a new sort of Ubi-like multi-studio development project but some parts of the game were lagging behind compared to others.
People who've worked on it say it was in pretty good shape though and the cancellation came sort of as a surprise.
 
Nintendo tasked Retro with building a new Metroid game because they liked the prototype. However in the meantime key staff at Retro have left the company because what they were working on prior to Metroid got cancelled and they figure dicking around doing nothing for 6 years and helping out with LABO is enough and not advancing their careers. At this point they again need to form a new team at Retro Studios before production on this game can start from scratch because they hardly have the staff to produce a first-person Metroid game at scale. This whole thing is a mess.

Neat-o. BotW load times are significantly improved apparently:

Loading save file: 31 seconds -> 21 seconds
Fast travel: 19 seconds -> 11 seconds
Entering shrine: 10 seconds -> 7 seconds

Dunno if physical or digital, but both versions should see a nice boost.
