is this where I confess that I still haven’t put more than like 30 minutes into it since we got the switch, because I’ve been saving it

I’m worse than Josh
saving it for anything in particular? there's a sequel on the way so you're not gonna run out of zelda
― ciderpress, Monday, 24 August 2020 18:43 (three years ago) link
save it for retirement! by then you can line up like 10-20 top tier zeldas, prime material for end-of-life binging

Re: Diablo 3 maybe so but I prefer games like ADOM, I like immediate challenge, you die, you start again, and only occasionally does a character achieve liftoff. The boring "walking tank" section only occurs toward the endgame :)

I've already said goodbye to my evenings with Two Point Hospital! I don't need another such game!
― Ruth Bae Ginsburg (Leee), Monday, 24 August 2020 18:56 (three years ago) link
Yeah, totally on its way, sometime between now and never. It and Metroid 4. Regardless, with BotW you'll never run out of Zelda, full stop, because afaict you can practically just keep playing that game forever.

Just saw they announced a new Switch upgrade for 2021, as well as a super-slate of big games, like ... well, like, um ... I'm sure they'll be big. Maybe something with cardboard.

4K Nintendo games is a good idea.

But having to pay for MarioKart Deluxe again will make me super-annoyed when I do it.
― DJI, Tuesday, 25 August 2020 19:35 (three years ago) link
nintendo has not announced anything yet
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 25 August 2020 19:36 (three years ago) link
i understand skepticism about BotW 2 release, but i'm optimistic because:
1) nintendo will want some marquee titles to hype when the ps5 and series x are released and gaining traction2) if they're taking longer to release it, it's probably because they're making sure it's up to previous zelda quality. that's a good thing!

xposts to yesterday, i think
jazzed up mario 64 seems a fait accompli
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Tuesday, 25 August 2020 19:44 (three years ago) link
They're so inscrutable, tbh. It's just so weird that other systems hype things for months, and ... it seems to work out? And Nintendo doesn't, and ... it seems to work out? Except they really have much less to hype, honestly.
― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 25 August 2020 20:01 (three years ago) link
pre covid there were rumors about botw2 being this year's big holiday release but it seems whatever it was has probably been pushed back if there was no announcement by now. mario rereleases seem more likely
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 25 August 2020 20:05 (three years ago) link
It would be kind of nice if Nintendo had a bit more to offer than more re-releases.
― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 25 August 2020 20:16 (three years ago) link
Hoping for a Mario 3D World reissue tbh. Super Mario Bros U has that shit “you can only save at very rare moments” thing and is too hard for kid to boot.

maybe nintendo are announcing a bunch of new games, but you can't successfully hookup a speaker to hear it?

If Nintendo releases a new game and I can't hook up a speaker to hear it, does it make a sound?
Answer: yes, just very quietly.
― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 25 August 2020 21:09 (three years ago) link
the speaker represents the voice inside you that wants you to accept nintendo for what it is and love it. it's a beautiful voice. a voice that wants you to be happy.
― it's a spicy dinner we're having (Sufjan Grafton), Tuesday, 25 August 2020 21:36 (three years ago) link
you need to call the geek squad and have them setup your speaker so that it is loudest.

presumably you can use that with a VR headset too; seems like a game changer.They were charging nearly $100 for a box of boxes not too long ago; price seems reasonable to me!
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Thursday, 3 September 2020 14:20 (three years ago) link
wonder if it developed from a series of "mario kart maker" meetings

Is sunshine good? I bought mario 64 for ds lite and never played it.
― bogo jumbo boba (Sufjan Grafton), Thursday, 3 September 2020 14:35 (three years ago) link
sunshine is prob the worst of the a1 3d titles, mario moves a lil slow feels kinda gooey, its still good tho
― lag∞n, Thursday, 3 September 2020 14:39 (three years ago) link
still waiting for another one w the speed and violence of 64
you might be interested in bubsy 3d then

saw someone on youtube talking about how theyre hoping botw 2 is the dark zelda they were hoping for from the first one and its like not everything has to be hardcore and the first one was pretty dark my lord the world is in a tough spot

Yeah I’d be way more into a not post apocalyptic world this time

looks like its just gonna be the same world but with underground stuff or something fwiw botw

as someone mentioned on twitter, weird that Nintendo is explicitly going to the Disney Vault strategy for the Mario 3D All Stars. and it'll work on me, unfortunately! wish Galaxy 2 was in there, i haven't played either of them
― Nhex, Thursday, 3 September 2020 14:55 (three years ago) link
i am def going buy the 3d pack baby (but not the 2d (not enough dimensions))
― lag∞n, Thursday, 3 September 2020 14:57 (three years ago) link
presumably galaxy 2 will get a stand-alone rerelease before the next gen.i am confused as to why you wouldn't punch up the 64 graphics further but maybe that's another in the future thing.i appreciate the freebies on the network!
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Thursday, 3 September 2020 14:57 (three years ago) link
perhaps worth mentioning explicitly as the video didn't make it very clear but Mario All-Stars (not the 3-D one) comes free with Nintendo Online and is live now.https://www.cnet.com/how-to/nintendo-switch-online-snes-nes-library-features-exclusive-offers-super-mario-all-stars/

I've started Super Mario Galaxy 2 then things intervened, now that I have the ring-fit, if I could get SMG2 on Switch I could finally bin the WiiU
