Nintendo Switch Thread

[BisMarckie]

I wasn’t too impressed with Zelda Skyrim but it’s not a series that has ever tickled my nerd pickle. I do appreciate that they were moving on from the OOT formula, vociferous laudations aside, because the formula was about 20 years old when BOTW came out.

i got the black but ended up getting a set of neons cause i liked the way they looked and now the black ones sit on the charger

the neons that come with the console are the reverse color of the neons bought separately iirc so lmk if you want to trade. then i can have an all red or all blue one.

I ditched all the joycons. Pro Controller supremacy

I’m using the Xbox One controller, why bother with an inferior product when you can just use the best controller around?

[Cindi Mayweather]

You have to appreciate the small things in BOTW.

NPC dialogue is contextual and every character seems to have a story. In a game like a Bethesda rpg a lot of npcs repeat the same shit (arrow to the knee;etc) but in this, you can talk to villagers in kakariko and an old woman will muse about what she should cook her husband. When it rains, Paya talks about how she doesn't understand folks who dislike the rain. There's a story between a pumpkin farmer and a carrot farmer;etc. And this is just one town in one massive, massive game.

I'm very impressed by the effort and detail that we've never seen from a Zelda game   before.

There's a lot to appreciate in BOTW.

[Cindi Mayweather]

The journey to Hateno is classic Zelda shit.



Also got evading down.

[Svejk]

Hm. Starting to dig this more again. Experimenting with cooking and cooked a whole bunch of food and elixirs I found, found me a solid color horse, bought arrows because they're in short supply. I want to buy the armor in Kakariko but I might save it for the next town. I've gotten combat mechanics, parrying down, and just need to understand how the fuck dodge/evasion works. I'm getting better at that, but it's not regular. Like that the game doesn't hold your hand one bit and you have to figure out recipes yourself.

One of the best, simple recipes off the top my head;
1x apple
1x palm fruit
1x acorn
1x hearty durian
= Full recovery +4

Hearty radish and meat usually makes full recovery + too.

[Cindi Mayweather]

Yeah hearty stuff seem real good.

[bork]

Any of you guys planning on adding a Switch Lite to your rotation? Thinking of doing this and leaving my OG Switch tethered to the TV.

My only issue is if the Nintendo’s cloud save feature is serviceable. They are already making exceptions with AC and Pokémon (lol at the concern of cloning monsters made of 0’s and 1’s).

Don't see the point in doing this when the whole purpose of the Switch is to be able to use the same console as a handheld or on TV.  Would have gotten a Lite if it had TV-out, but don't care now that the O.G. got the better battery which lasts longer than the Lite does.

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

What was y’alls first Zelda? Links Awakening here, then LttP after I met a kid at elementary who was also into games and he told me about it

Wait false, we had Zelda 2 on nes. For years that was Zelda to me — you know that noise when you run into an enemy in the overworld? For some reason I had decided it was saying broooooooown.

Zelda 2 was my first. I wanted the first one but my parents got me the second one by mistake. Or maybe I was a bad kid that year and they gave me Zelda 2 as punishment.

The only Zelda game I really had fun with was Link’s Awakening DX.

[Cindi Mayweather]

Can confirm snes app works offline. Played Demon’s Crest on the go.

[Rahxephon91]

My first and only real Zelda was Zelda 64.

Never cared for the series after that.

[BisMarckie]

My first Zelda was LTTP, it is a good game, but I don’t have any affection for the series.

I thought BOTW was kind of boring.

[Cindi Mayweather]

Considering finally beating Zelda II after Demon’s Crest. No save states of course.

[BisMarckie]

Beat Super Ghouls n Ghosts without throwing your Switch against the wall

[Cindi Mayweather]

I got halfway through that in my snes classic with the intention 1 credit it. I forgot about it and didn’t finish but I’m positive the muscle memory is still there. Game is nothing and much easier compared to Ghosts n Goblins nes or arcade.

[BisMarckie]

It‘s one of these games I just can‘t beat without save states.

That fucking double jump.

[Cindi Mayweather]

The double jump is partially why I think it’s easier than ghosts n goblins

Exactly, which is why I'm using a Dualshock 4 controller with a Mayflash Magic-NS adapter. The DS4 even has motion controls (sixaxis) which can be used in Switch games that support it (e.g. aiming in BOTW). Best of all, it has a great d-pad and symmetrical sticks for people born with symmetrical thumbs. It also supports rumble and has the same number of buttons as a Switch Pro Controller (the DS4 touchpad is used to take screenshots) so you don't lose any functionality.

[Rman]

I used the rewind function. No Ragrets.

[Chooky]

Considering finally beating Zelda II after Demon’s Crest. No save states of course.

it's not hard at all when you're grown and understand leveling up, save for a couple of parts. restarting at the beginning of the game is still annoying af tho.

Bork called it being the Vita 2, and I and several others declared it'd be $300. I say somewhere that 250 would be nice and that's about how much I got one for in a deal around E3 this year.

[Nintex]

The Switch would've had a far different reception if it wasn't for Zelda BOTW which had close to a 1:1 attachment ratio in the early days of the system.

The lesson I finally learned with the Wii U and 3DS is that you never buy Nintendo hardware at launch.
With Switch I waited until Splatoon 2 was out so I had some more things to play and other stuff was rolling out fast afterwards.

The Wii U was literally 8 months of nothing after launch until they finally started rolling out launch window games like Pikmin 3.
If Nintendo had something like Splatoon or Mario Maker at Wii U launch and the Zelda HD game they teased, that console could've also worked out very differently.

In hindsight Nintendo should've cancelled it like Iwata originally planned.

...I still call it the Vita 2.0.  I mean that in a good way. 

Looks pretty cool.  Way slicker than the Wii U.

But also looks visually like the Wii U, so I wonder what will happen with third party support.  Hoping that if anything, all the third parties making Vita games jump to this thing instead.

Got what I wanted


Vita lives on

[Occam]

Yes, it's basically a less ergonomic, less portable Vita successor. While I bought mine in early 2018, I didn't really start using it until 2019, when many games that previously would have been released on Vita started appearing on Switch instead.

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

Nintendo’s new management handled this much better than the Iwata era. Props to Nintendo for actually learning from their mistakes.

Naaaaaaaaah, quality wise Nintendo had actually been on a steady downwards trajectory forever as far as hardware and big picture choices. The Wii throws it off because it was dirt cheap and trendy so casuals bought the shit out of it to play wii bowling and tennis and shit, but other than the two Galaxy games there's not a lot of quality software on that thing, and history has born me out on this: waggle was a gimmick, and a shitty one at that.

The single best thing IMO Nintendo did was launch this with a kick ass Zelda game, and then a kick ass Mario game like 7 months later. Having those two games going into the first holiday season was smart AF. It helps that while obviously underpowered relative to the PS4 and Xbone, it's still *KINDA* powerful enough to play ports of games, and enough people are stupid enough to want to play shit on the go instead of on a couch like god intended that the portability is for whatever reason a selling point. (Seriously, you people are unclean)

The dirty secret is that other than BotW and Odyssey, there's not a lot of MUST HAVE games you can only get on Switch. It's you sick in the head portability people that are driving sales, plus assholes like Tasty and Brandnew who can only get erections or whatever when they give Nintendo money, so they overpay for shit they can get cheaper elsewhere because "lol it's on the Switch"

System is still worth it for BotW and Odyssey, or if you're a huge FE fan. Getting all the dregs from the WiiU years re-released is nice. I'm sure this is the point where people are going to come in and tell me that I'm discounting the appeal of Smash, Pokemon, and Animal Crossing, and yes- I am. Because those games are all trash, and you are trash if you like them.

[Occam]

Having a portable system is invaluable for people who don't sit around at home all day. It's also amazing for travelling.
Switch is fantastic in that regard; I bought a small USB C to HDMI adapter to use in hotels so I don't need to take the bulky dock.

Your bias is showing. You only mention consoles.

Nintendo DS and 3DS were fantastic systems but you wouldn't know because you don't like handhelds. I didn't even mention Wii once in my post but you naturally assumed I was talking about consoles because that's your bias.

I've heard "nintendo is going to die" on at least three separate occasions.

Nintendo reveals DS: Nintendo is going to die, PSP is going to kill it. What is this dual screen thing?

What actually happens: sells 150 million units

Nintendo reveals Wii: Nintendo is going to die, 360 and PS3 make it irrelevant.

What actually happens: Sells 100 million units.

Nintendo reveals Switch: Nintendo is going to die, this is just another Wii U

What actually happens: sells a shit load.

You have a massive blind spot when talking about Nintendo. Anyone who thought a Nintendo handheld was doomed for failure is living in a console bubble. Sad to say. That is also why you thought Switch was doomed to fail: you compared them to Xbone and PS4 when Nintendo was merging their libraries. Wii U did not have an Animal Crossing. Wii U also did not have a flagship Pokemon title. FYI, Pokemon Sun and Moon for 3ds sold 16 million copies. That's at least 16 million guaranteed sales for Switch.

The current library is pretty standard stuff as far as a Nintendo handheld goes. It's not really surprising for anyone who has been paying attention.

[Joe Molotov]

lol the first few pages of this thread are embarrassing

can it run normal android?

if you cant surf, netflix, youtube its worthless

You can do this on Wii U so of course you'd be able to on this

[Chooky]

I still don't understand why there aren't more streaming apps. is it something on nintendos end?

[Occam]

The lack of features is pretty staggering.
I read that if you install Android, Switch performs like a good modern tablet except for issues caused by the read/write speed of the microSD. Android games supposedly run very well.

Here's a video showing the very first release, I presume it has been improved since:

[Cindi Mayweather]

What's more mind boggling was, beyond the vale of "Nintendo is dying!" there was so much fuel wishing *for* Nintendo to die. Basically, fuck gamers.

I still don't understand why there aren't more streaming apps. is it something on nintendos end?

Even 3DS has Netflix. No idea.

[Raist]

First Zelda I played was the OG NES one. Y'all are a bunch of noobs 

[Nintex]

Why the hell would you play Android garbage when you can play Nintendo games? 

It's like going to a 5 star restaurant with your McDonalds order lmao

[Steve Youngblood]

Divinity with cross save support is pretty nifty. I mean, I’d rather play it in my pc where it’s not running at sub 720p, but the option to play on the switch a little before going to bed is much appreciated.

[Cindi Mayweather]

Divinity is on Switch? Switch version it is.

How is it with controller?

[Steve Youngblood]

You can tell that it wasn’t designed with a controller in mind but it works well enough. They’ve taken enough cracks at it that they’ve figured it out about as good as it’s going to get for a top down CRPG.

[Cindi Mayweather]

No touch controls? It’d be fine with a stylus.

[Cindi Mayweather]

[BisMarckie]

Imagine fighting over the Switch library while I play Plumbers don‘t wear ties on my 3DO and fondle myself.

So I've never heard of this Demon's Crest thing and so I'm trying it and wtf world map exploration out of nowhere?? Is this game good?

[CatsCatsCats]

So I've never heard of this Demon's Crest thing and so I'm trying it and wtf world map exploration out of nowhere?? Is this game good?

My exact reaction

[Chooky]

red arremer had a whole trilogy. they're pretty fun games. the original on gb was structured like an rpg, but with side scroller levels instead of dungeons. never played the nes one and i've heard very little about it but it looked cool. the last one is pretty cool altho it's extremely hard in parts. as far as i know they all bombed. demon's crest came out really late in the snes's life, iirc around the same time as donkey kong country, and faded into oblivion. er wait... i think it did get a rerelease on wii.

[Chooky]

also this song rules

This generation is proving a lot of people wrong. 5 years ago it seemed like the writing was on the wall that mobile gaming was going to kill off console gaming. In 2019, console gaming is the strongest its been for at least a decade. It’s pointless to speculate how things are going to go - we’re all going to get it wrong anyways. Might as well just play what’s fun and leave it at that.

[Cindi Mayweather]

Yeah we did think console gaming was in the grave. Turns out last gen was just THAT BAD.

last gen was so bad people were somehow convinced that last of us was a worthwhile game

No touch screen controls. Like I said though it’s surprisingly well handled. I sometimes use the controller option on PC if I’m playing on the TV. But if I’m sitting at my desk I’m sticking to keyboard and mouse.

Haven't kept up with things, but last time I checked, it was still recommended to avoid all docks not made by Nintendo.

[Rahxephon91]

Um it was....

Last gen was hardly terrible. Terrible if you like Nintendo I guess...

[nachobro]

last gen was fine (it lasted like 50 years so of course there will be good and bad) but devs deciding to pursue cinematic garbage in games was certainly a detriment, aka most of sony 1st party was complete shit. don't @ me about how much you enjoyed uncharted or last of us or whatever trash cause i don't care about your terrible taste.

[nachobro]

also last gen gave us the best street fighter, red dead redemption, tokyo jungle, and the best final fantasy so it's not all bad

and the best metal gears i guess it wasn't so bad after all

and dq9 ok i'm reversing course here

No, it's not that exact same model, but looks similar (I just used image search). Since you use Nintendo's PSU, it shouldn't be able to damage the system. The infamous Nyko dock that killed the USB-C port had its own power supply. Additionally, from what I read there was something wrong with Switch firmware 5.0.0 that made non-Nintendo docks not work; it seems to have been fixed in later firmwares.
I got it only recently and haven't used it for more than a few hours, so no idea about its longevity.

Edit:
This should be a completely safe solution because it's just a case:

[Great Rumbler]

I've been using this third-party dock [for TV playing in a different room from what I keep the official dock] for a couple of months now:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07PY85MJC

The dock can be a little finicky, but it's worked alright so far and I haven't had any problems with the Switch.
