They unlock some things in some games, but they're mostly just cool shelf pieces for nerds.

Ok, so what the fuck do Amiibos do? Looking at stocking stuffer things for the kid, is there any reason to get them for Animal Crossing or Smash Bros?

the animal crossing amiibo cards let u move in that villager to your island. the smash bros figures make a custom cpu fighter that you can level up by fighting it.

My daughter has a bunch of Pokémon gashapon figures we got on our trip to Japan, maybe I’ll just get her more of those instead.

Or if you want all the digital benefits without the ridiculous prices for space wasting dust collectors, you can get off brand amiibo cards.

I haven't tried them myself, as even I who could care less for this junk, own 2 Zelda amiibos for BOTW... in which they give you a chest of items every 24 hours..

Quote from: nintendolife

So, Nintendo should get rid of a console that's breaking sales records left, right and centre, and release a Fire Stick instead? Hmm.

We'll let you mull that thought over in the comments.

Has Pachter ever been right about anything?

Quote

Pachter summarized in one image: 🤡

Quote

Why do people listen to this clown? He's never been right about anything.

Quote

Pachter's job is to be wrong, as a leading example of what not to do.

Quote

Better call the nurse, he's stopped taking his meds again.

Quote

You can prove anything with facts you just made up. I learned that from politics.

Quote

I remember watching his videos on Game Trailers website and thinking he was a moron. Always hates to see Nintendo do well, must really irritate him that they are at the top of the market now.

Quote

How does Prachter still have a job when, to my knowledge, his analysis is always wrong, and he has never made a single correct prediction? Wish I had a boss who would accept a near 100% failure rate and still sign my paychecks.

Quote

He's more an anal cyst than analyst.

Quote

I've said it in the Wii U era:

DO NOT POST about Pachter. He doesn't know anything about:

1. Nintendo
2. Gaming
3. Games.
4. Gamers.
5. Nintendo.

Quote

Pachter is like the Trump of the gaming world. Always wrong and always embarrassing.

I know others who do the opposite and never use them docked- a lot of these people jumped on the Lites when they came out. But that's the nice thing about the regular model- you can do whatever you want. If anything, it would have made more sense for Pachter to have said something like they should make a dock for the Lite model or sell new Lite models that can connect directly up to TVs with USB-C (and adapters).

bork · « **Reply #9251 on:** October 26, 2020, 12:04:57 PM »

The latest "Switch Pro" rumor is that the next Switch will have a mini-LED screen, which should mean longer battery life.

Might double dip on NMH 1&2 if they look/run better. Will wait for Digital Foundry breakdown.

Great games but already own them.

Yeah, gonna wait to see what reviews/word of mouth is on this one from the fanbase. Heard pretty bad things about the demo and the art style is a bit iffy. It's also not the original team that went on to make Octopath Traveler so who knows. I still haven't finished BD1 at like 30 hours in.

HardcoreRetro · « **Reply #9260 on:** October 28, 2020, 12:35:46 PM »

In portable mode it seems like it's mostly a locked 60 fps, only dropping when looking through the smoke effects.

HardcoreRetro · « **Reply #9261 on:** October 28, 2020, 12:49:12 PM »

No More Heroes 2 port has added back in the camera control from the first game. In the Wii version you couldn't control the camera, just focus it behind Travis.

I feel like it was also 30 FPS back on the Wii. Bumped up to 60 now, but the same drops when too many particles show up on the screen.

Edit: I'll get out the Wii to check.

demi · « **Reply #9262 on:** October 28, 2020, 01:06:00 PM »

Hyrule Warriors demo is... more Hyrule Warriors. I miss the buttrock though

HardcoreRetro · « **Reply #9263 on:** October 28, 2020, 01:20:49 PM »

Yup, No More Heroes 2 used to be 30fps. It's 60 now.

I'll see how they hold up as I go through them.

HardcoreRetro · « **Reply #9266 on:** October 28, 2020, 02:47:10 PM »

The open world in the first No More Heroes still tanks the framerate. Listened to the games with monitor headphones and the audio quality seems pretty low as well sadly.

Betting this will happen later on, either as a release in Asia and/or a limited production run from one of the many small publishers doing that.

Rahxephon91 · « **Reply #9270 on:** October 28, 2020, 04:56:43 PM »

Probably. Between Switch and PS4 there are a lot of surprising physical releases from either small publishers or regional releases. Almost feels like the PS2 days.

Until I have 25 Gundam games on a single system, we will never be back to the PS2 days.

The Hyrule Warriors AoC demo has a lot of content. Looks like you can play the entire first chapter which has multiple levels. Saves carry over the full game.

demi · « **Reply #9275 on:** October 28, 2020, 11:19:46 PM »

It's only 2 levels, but you can replay them and some side missions with 3 characters (Zelda + Impa + Link)

Yup, gonna play the demo and get my entire fill of the game and not buy it haha

Unless it's a franchise I care about like Gundam/One Piece/Berserk, I get bored of musou games after 30 mins or so. Even Berserk I didn't finish but that was because it was a pretty sucky effort.

Will play Final Fantasy Musou whenever they make that one. DQ Heroes was pretty fun but not a big DQ character fan.

HardcoreRetro · « **Reply #9277 on:** October 29, 2020, 08:30:58 AM »

First No More Heroes also lost the Genki Rockets song. Seems to have been replaced by Kill or Be Killed from the second game's soundtrack.

I gave Nintendo shit in the past for this, but this generation in general has horrible quality control for controllers and controller drift. My Xbone controllers typically get fucked up after a couple hundred hours of use. Specifically analog stick drift.

Both Nintendo and Microsoft have class action lawsuits over controller issues. Seems like console hardware failure is incredibly low or squashed, while controllers got the shit end of the stick this gen.

Chinese-language ports of the Crossbell games and the first 2 CS games are coming for Switch.
Let's see if they make their way over here...
If anything, this gives a bit more hope for an official English Crossbell release.

Bit of contact spray should get that working again. It's not like in the joycons where the entire mechanic they use is broken.

bork · « **Reply #9287 on:** October 29, 2020, 01:38:26 PM »

I haven't had any controller issues (knock on wood) but isn't Nintendo fixing them for free now? Would also recommend an 8bitdo controller or PS4/Xbox controller adapter.

Berserk was OK play-wise, but just so generic. I only got it on Vita and got so bored with it. The Arslan game they did around the same time was much worse and my pick for worst Koei musou ever.

But they did a great job with One Piece after the 'eh' original. Hyrule Warriors is also awesome. Can't wait!

paprikastaude · « **Reply #9289 on:** October 29, 2020, 04:07:43 PM »

Musou gameplay with BotW story has to be one of the least appealing proposals in recent times.

Like a film of drying paint directed by Ken Burns.

Yeah, my favorite licensed Musous in recent history are One Piece Musou 2/3, Gundam Musou 3 and DQ Heroes 2.

I wish I cared about Zelda lol, I like Zelda games for the dungeons/bosses, don't care about the characters/world at all. There's still a lot of licenses that would be good fits for musou so I'm hoping they start branching into some new ones.

Either that or make another Gundam Musou. Been a while and there's a lot of new Gundam mechs since then that they can add.

bork · « **Reply #9291 on:** October 29, 2020, 05:32:02 PM »

Am not a big Zelda fan by any means, but it doesn't matter. It's not BoTW, it's a new story with new or younger versions of the characters. I'm there for the musou action and it doesn't disappoint!

Played the Hyrule Warriors demo.

Wow, that framerate docked. It's been probably months since I played a Switch game and I always forget that after PS5/XSX are out it'll be almost 2 generations behind technology. Switch Pro needs to happen asap

Game seemed alright. I thought Link's moveset was pretty boring but Impa was solid musou fun. Kinda got bored of it by the end of stage 1 tho. Not my thing. I think the only way I'd stick with this if it was if the playable cast list was huge.

Bebpo · « **Reply #9295 on:** October 30, 2020, 02:53:31 AM »

Actually playing this handheld, this is pretty sweet. Portable musou is pretty nice to have.

Also enjoying Link more on the second stage with more abilities. I might pick this up.

Played the streaming demo version of Control and it worked really really well. And I am just on an 16 Mbit line. No real interest in the game, but this felt like a gamechanger.
