A Switch what?
A hypothetical upgraded Switch with an OLED screen and 4K upscaling!
According to rumors.
Oh, haha, PS Vita fetishists delusional dreams and incapcity to tell why Nintendo is successful (possibly:selling 30 bucks of plastic for 10x that price)
The Split Pad Pro was discussed in the Monster Hunter thread (and maybe here as well). If you play a large amount/exclusively in handheld mode youāre doing yourself a disservice if you donāt own one. One downside is that they donāt have HD Rumble and a handful of other features you probably donāt care about (NFC, IR, gyro).
Such a huge improvement over the joycons for Mario 64. Havenāt got to the other games in the collection yet.
Haha, i totally forget that joycons have rumble. I disabled it the first time I played the switch on public transport, and havenāt turned it on since.
Also, one feature that I do care about: they donāt support the system-level button remapping. For a while I changed my pro controller to swap X<>Y and A<>B to match the Xbox button layout and be a bit easier on my muscle memory. But I had to put it back because I couldnāt do the same change on the Hori pad.
Itās a testament to how much more comfortable the Hori pad is that Iām still using it rather than going back to joy-cons in handheld mode so I could make the buttons work the same.
They really do make a terrible sound when they rumble.
If youāre willing to buy the physical edition on the last day of Super Mario 3D All Starsā availability. Itās on sale for $50.
I personally canāt abide looking for those tiny little theoretical cartridges to put into my theoretical Switch though.
I logged on to Super Mario 35 last night, just to double check that the service is really shut down. But the game launches fine! You get the list of weekly goals! All the buttons still work! You can start the game!..and then it says, āThis service has been disconnected.ā Boooooooo.
But hey, maybe the practice mode still works! Itās a solo game with no online component! You launch it andā¦itās also shut down. Boooo again. Why deactivate something thatās for local play only??
Because assholery.
King Mario is dead, long live King Pac-Man!
Wait, Pacman 99 went away for a while? Why?
EDIT: Oh wait, I was thinking of Tetris 99 wasnāt I? Oops.
Iām really excited to play this for 45 days until it is pulled from the store too*.
- j/k i donāt think that itās actually a limited release. iām just a little gunshy at this point.
Pac Man CE was tight. If itās anything like that, Iām into it.
Itās good, but much like Tetris 99, unless you are a Pac Genius, do not expect to win.
Thus far, this seems way easier than Tetris 99, maybe just because itās brand new, or maybe the baseline skill level for PacMan is lower than it is for Tetris. Unless I screw up catastrophically, getting top 20 or so seems pretty consistent.
Somewhere in the distance, Billy Mitchell cries out, as though wounded. A debt has been accrued, a vengeance, earned.
I always die a mysterious death around top 30. Like something that wasnāt deadly before suddenly is? Who needs manuals
Itās very badly explained, I have no idea what the different modes on the left side do (the standard/strong/train ones. The right side controls targeting, as in the other games). As far as I can tell thereās nowhere on the game that explains this.
I donāt think anything kills you without warning, although after a certain point, red pac-mans start appearing that kill you on contact. It isnāt super clear the first couple times whatās happening there, because the enemy pac-mans up to that point just slowed you down.
Ah thatās what happened probably. I re member seeing a red dot appearing next to me each time and then drop dead. Probably one of those red Pacman in the process of spawning.
Pretty unfair :-/
