Also is that Kirby thing just a stripped down Smash Bros or what?
― DJI, Thursday, 24 September 2020 15:02 (three years ago) link
i think its just a kirby platform fighter yeah. small scope multiplayer/party game
― ciderpress, Thursday, 24 September 2020 15:04 (three years ago) link
It looks like when Capcom would just make endless SF clones with the CPS engine. Like they barely even changed Smash Bros Ultimate, and all the characters are Kirby!

I like to think that mario64 is such a swiss watch, that adding things like adding luigi would have plain broke sections of it, unless Luigi was the same size/weight and mass as Mario.
they did this 16 years ago, which had updated graphics and even a playable luigi.
or if they had had more time and not had to tie it to the 35th Anniversary.
yeah, i do wonder if they saw people saying ‘mario’s 35th this year! they’re going to update mario 64!’ and shat themselves and dumped this emulation collection at the last minute. it would also explain why galaxy 2 got left off.

I suspect that has at least some truth to it. Also possible, they would've split it into two collections for more money
― Nhex, Friday, 25 September 2020 04:39 (three years ago) link
i would have paid 60 bucks for galaxy 1&2 but not just one
― ciderpress, Friday, 25 September 2020 05:18 (three years ago) link
lagoon's reviews pretty much line up with my own, down to the planets on galaxy 1 being too small (often, at least. i think. it's been a while)
galaxy 2 ruled
― Karl Malone, Friday, 25 September 2020 05:49 (three years ago) link
the small planet physics of galaxy 1 seemed like a sub-level from another recent 3D mario, but blown up into every stage

Oh shit, the second Ori is now out on Switch?! When did that happen?!
― Josh in Chicago, Saturday, 26 September 2020 23:35 (three years ago) link
it was in the same direct as the monster hunter announcements a couple weeks ago
― ciderpress, Saturday, 26 September 2020 23:43 (three years ago) link
Looks lovely

First game was an absolute joy and totally gorgeous. The new one I understand to be more of the same, and then some. I'm considering pulling the full-price trigger (which is of course half that of your typical Nintendo title).
― Josh in Chicago, Sunday, 27 September 2020 02:51 (three years ago) link
I have trouble keeping up with this stuff, and tbh Digital Foundry often gets stuck in the weeds, but I thought this was fascinating, how they were able to get this painterly Xbox game running on the Switch at all:

Sounds like the Switch needs a few patches, from what I've read, but the developers are on it. Seems like an example of how well a port can be done if the original devs (with all their understanding of every last detail) do it.

(60fps is nearly everywhere) but you may notice a dip into the upper 50s from time to time
Voiceover: you will not
― Andrew Farrell, Sunday, 27 September 2020 14:07 (three years ago) link
Yeah, seriously. In this case, issue seems to be intermittent crashes.
― Josh in Chicago, Sunday, 27 September 2020 14:09 (three years ago) link
looks gorgeous; please post when it's appropriately patched so i can buy?
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Sunday, 27 September 2020 23:01 (three years ago) link
They seem to be working hard at it. For what it's worth, not everybody on Switch has been reporting problems, and even the PC and Xbox release had their need for patches. So I bet it will be fixed sooner rather than later. But I will report ASAP!

Left joycon is fucked so returned it to Nintendo for repair/replacement, I should really look into setting it up on my TV but it seems like effort, c/d?
― seumas milm (gyac), Tuesday, 29 September 2020 11:06 (three years ago) link
joycons being shite is why i almost exclusively play on the tv with a 8bitdo pad
docked switch: classic
― chihuahuau, Tuesday, 29 September 2020 11:34 (three years ago) link
I managed to reduce my left joycon's drift by 95% with some compressed air and q-tips dipped in isopropyl alcohol
― trapped out the barndo (crüt), Tuesday, 29 September 2020 13:35 (three years ago) link
i got lucky with my left joycon i guess
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 29 September 2020 13:45 (three years ago) link
Finally starting getting drift with Animal Crossing this year. If it gets really bad I'll probably just finally give in and buy the Pro Controller, or one of them 8bitdos.
― Nhex, Tuesday, 29 September 2020 13:47 (three years ago) link
xps to crüt yeah I tried this but no luck, was moving involuntarily by the time I sent the thing off
― seumas milm (gyac), Tuesday, 29 September 2020 13:52 (three years ago) link
pro controller is great and totally worth it btw; it should really ship with the system.

i wish the dpad was fighting game capable but its oversensitive otherwise yeah its a great controller
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 29 September 2020 14:29 (three years ago) link
Pro Controller is one thing imo that Nintendo truly does better than everyone else. That battery is a work of wonder.
― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 29 September 2020 14:30 (three years ago) link
they used leftover 3ds batteries in it so it has insane battery life

Should I buy my daughter Zelda so I can play in on her Switch? not like she ever uses it anyway

I have never really been into video games (and in fact felt some level of disdain for the whole endeavor based on some "gamer" types I've known). I had an NES and SNES 30ish years ago and played a few N64 and PS1 games but have spent probably a total of 30 minutes playing video games in the past 20 years - I've never touched any Xbox or post PS1 controller.
But my son and I have been playing old school NES/SNES/GBA games on a raspberry pi since corona lockdown and he's gotten into watching youtube videos of people playing kirby and mario games recent vintage, so I went for it and bought a switch because they were around after not being available for a while and I imagine they might not be available closer to december. It's sitting in my closet right now until santa brings it for my six year old.
What all do I need to do or purchase in terms of controllers? Can we play a two player game right out of the box or do I need to get some other controller? HOW DO GAMES WORK? Like there's digital things and physical ones too? What games are good if I loved the hell out of mariokart, marios 1/2/3, super mario brothers, donkey kong country ages ago but was never into zelda and have literally never played any first person shooter type thing? Also my kid LOVES pokemon go but neither of us had any any interest in any of the old roms I installed.
