it's such an amazing device for indie games i hope it becomes fashionable for most of them to come out on it i'd pretty much rather play any indie game on switch than pc or ps4.

yikes sorry 4 doublepost
they put bastion and transistor on already a while ago which is why ive been holding out on playing pyre elsewhere but theres no sign of it
― ciderpress, Monday, 30 March 2020 17:34 (four years ago) link
i think the majority of indie games are made with switch in mind now anyway, the stuff you posted about are just very PC-ey genres that need a second UI/controls pass to work on consoles which indie studios can't always afford to do until they have some revenue from the pc version
― ciderpress, Monday, 30 March 2020 17:36 (four years ago) link
frostpunk did get a ps4 release and i think disco elysium is slated for the same. i wonder how much work it is to port them to switch after ps4 assuming the UI/controls stuff is probably mostly worked out. graphics stuff i'd guess?
― Mordy, Monday, 30 March 2020 17:43 (four years ago) link
porting to a lower spec platform involves a lot of QA work i'd think
― ciderpress, Monday, 30 March 2020 17:45 (four years ago) link
For Switch you'd have to be concerned about performance on portable vs. docked as well, text sizes.

Hoping these are, as one source I've read suggested, a collection rather than separate releases.
I'd happily pay £50 or whatever for a cartridge that had Mario 64, Galaxy & Sunshine on but would balk at having to pay that for each individual one

feel like Nintendo hasn't been that generous since the GameCube days (I treasure my Legend of Zelda collection disc like Gollum)
― Nhex, Tuesday, 31 March 2020 07:33 (four years ago) link
Pinning my hopes on this:
For the remasters, our source is telling us that Nintendo is pursuing something like a Super Mario All-Stars 2 for the 3D Mario games. This would include Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine, and then Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2. It’s likely that 3D World may get its own, separate Deluxe-style release. While it’s possible the older 3D Mario games could come in a single compilation, it’s also likely that Nintendo will release them individually as it did with its Zelda remasters.

I skipped the Wii/U gens entirely so I definitely want those Galaxy remasters. Also re-port Twilight Princess plz

Any smash players try the ethernet adapter? WiFi lag is pretty rough, but it might be the rest of the network.
― DJI, Thursday, 2 April 2020 01:11 (four years ago) link
i have one and it makes a pretty big difference, the switch's wifi chip is ass
― ciderpress, Thursday, 2 April 2020 01:24 (four years ago) link
you can use pretty much any usb to ethernet adapter on the market, you dont need an official one
― ciderpress, Thursday, 2 April 2020 01:25 (four years ago) link
Thx! I’ll try one. They are like $10.

My 3 year old Switch has decided to start throwing an error code at me and forcing a restart on a fairly regular basis. I've looked into it and I might have to send it for repairs...which isn't possible right now. This is extremely upsetting.

i had brutal drift that was making mine almost unplayable... ordered some electronic contact cleaner and after like 60 seconds of testing it seems good? can't wait to try it for more than a minute and see if it's actually good now

if nothing else, just doing the thing where you lift up the rubber pad on the analog stick (with tweezers or whatever) and putting some isopropyl alcohol on there will help immensely
― let me be your friend on the other end! (Karl Malone), Friday, 3 April 2020 20:41 (four years ago) link
update: drift is still there after a 2nd rd of contact cleaner, which i think is supposed to be like isopropyl on steroids, so fuck :(

i’ve only just realised i stopped playing luigi 3 solely because i bought the physical version and can never be bothered getting up to put in the game card, and over time it’s fallen off my home screen and i forgot i even had it

I need to get a memory card for mine, I've had to delete a couple of things so that I could install Animal Crossing. I know next to nothing about memory card specs etc so if anyone's got any suggestions or guidance I'd be eternally grateful
― nate woolls, Sunday, 5 April 2020 01:50 (four years ago) link
it's microSD, same as what most smartphones etc use for memory expansion. theres lots of counterfeit/dud microSD cards out there so only buy from a major brand/retailer like samsung or sandisk, don't try to save a few bucks with a weird one
― ciderpress, Sunday, 5 April 2020 02:10 (four years ago) link
i have a 128gb which is more than enough space to hold a bunch of indie & nintendo games, they're probably like 25 bucks these days

i picked up a 400 gb card on a recent sale, thank god

They are also speed rated so spend a couple more bucks to get a fast one.

Yeah that's what I read, to look for a high transfer rate to improve performance
― nate woolls, Sunday, 5 April 2020 03:54 (four years ago) link
mine’s 100mb/s and seems like enough

speed will mostly just translate to slightly faster loading times

Is that news, or only that it is coming to Switch? They had at least said it would hit other consoles in 2020, right?
