I uhh... understood like half of that.

Seriously though, I play tons of Forza which is pretty good in terms of simulation driving and anyone in the top 200 uses a controller over a wheel. I've tried a wheel myself and lost about 2 seconds a lap.

It's pretty ridiculous isn't it? It's almost like Nintendo doesn't want us to buy their stuff.
Been on the lookout for a NES classic but it's still nowhere to be found. Got €60 in my pocket but it looks like Nintendo ain't getting it.

Good article on what's wrong with the Switch. Pretty much everything except for the Switch itself:

Nah, i mean the console...
Like the NES-classic mini (in the right):


EDIT: Sorry Memphis, i got you wrong. :p
But i think this one is the best and coolest way to emulate, you can add roms that you own the games of now due to a hack.
And the controllers are very nice too

I had the same problem with the wii-u.. 32gb is a joke!
If they lower the price for the base-set to 250Euro i will give it a try...
Im a big nintendo fan, from nes to wii-u i had em all. (2ds but not 3ds, no VB, no disc systems for famicon&64)
The best times were clearly the nes/gb/snes-times imho!
Why Nintendo?? WHY???
:cry:

I was thinking about how good 2d/3ds´s "Zelda -A link between worlds" was and came up with this idea:
If you could attach the controllers to the screen when the screen is in "vertical" position would be great, and maybe an option to play your 3ds games on that system.

Downloading The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild on Nintendo Switch requires 13.4 GB of storage.

Buying the next Zelda game digitally will take up over 40% of the console's 32 GB of internal storage.


lol :dork:


Yeah, 32 gigs is a bit, well, 2010 isn't it?

About the classics; don't you only get them for one month, then you still have to buy them?

Why not just emulate again? :|

Apparently so.

This is all so typically Nintendo. I just had another Nintendo frustration with my Wii. I have a bunch of VC NES games I never play anymore. Main reason is that after switching to component cable due to getting a new TV, these NES games only display a black screen. Apparently this is a known issue when playing VC games with component cables. There's a fix that involves pressing some obscure button combination on the user guide index screen for that game, but you need a nunchuck attachment to do so and it doesn't work for all games.

So Nintendo releases a service on a console that doesn't work properly with component cables. WTF Nintendo?!
It's almost like things have become too complicated for them since different types of TV, Internet and social services became a thing.

What a fucking joke. That forces you to put games on SD cards, which develop errors after excessive read/write cycles. So loading/saving a game from an SD card will eventually cause corruption, probably before the lifecycle of the Switch is even half over. Failtendo, at it again... :rolleyes:

It's getting better. If you want the premium experience of your joycon grip actually charging your joycons' batteries, then you'll need to dish out another 28 quid (€31) to get one that does the charging thingy. They take 3.5 hrs to charge.

I also heard that the sticks of the joycons are no real analog-sticks, so i think they will throw 1-2 more types of joycons out...AAaw man!
Can you use wii-motes with switch?

Zelda: Breath of The Wild runs at 900p30 on Switch.

The fact that it doesn't do 1080p60 is hugely disappointing. Even 900p60 would be a major improvement.

it is sad to see this happen to such a once great company.

the sheer amount of horrible decisions make it obvios what happend.

the only nintendo game left is the speculative one.

how far will the share price be driven down before an ugly acquisition

gosh i hope it is universal or sony and not disney

Say the same about these guys as what I said about SEGA if they wanted to re enter the console market.

Why not just match what both Sony and MS done with their consoles seeing as the difference between them is almost nothing ?

With their IPs that would be a massive selling point
