Nintendo Switch

[Norah]

yeah i thought for sure i'd buy the switch pro or whatever but hard pass on this

[Norah]

but i do like putting hardwired lan on the docking station, seems foolish not to have that from the start

I just really don't like how Nintendo is becoming less and less customer-friendly. Looking more and more like profit is pretty much the only concern right now and the number of hardcore supporters is going to diminish if they keep this up.

[Ello Sailor]

I feel like those who grew up with NES and SNES aren't going anywhere, but yeah I'm not super impressed with Nintendo as a newcomer.

You're referring to me who's halfway out the door.

Until the other systems have handheld capabilities, im on board

Not getting the new version tho

It seems like their 2020/2021 games are just biding time until the new editions of their big franchises are ready for release.

There is still value here with indies and deals on other games. It's the best selling console for like 17 straight month so they're clearly resonating with a lot people.

[Norah]

no tree says they're fucking it up so they're fucking it up

just saying.. this feels like the least exciting nintendo has ever been.. i'm personally not looking forward to anything nintendo .. perhaps it's cause PS5 is so good .. or it could be cause nintendo just ran out of exciting ideas? i don't know, chud.. but if you want to cling to my word like it's gold, that's on you

Has anyone played the most recent Worms game? I love old Worms games but they seem to change the formula every so often with varied results.

Yeah I love the handheld. If there was a current gen PSP I'd be all over that shit.

[Norah]

I hardly ever use the handheld mode but when I do I'm very glad it's an option. Mario Golf is actually great in handheld mode when I want to use the tv for something else.

Agree that the Ethernet is cool.

[Revelator]

no 4k upscaling or better processor?

Definitely an incremental update. Why is it $50 more?

So I was reading up on this new model a bit more, I'm kind of baffled that there's not processor improvement or 4K offerings. I'm assuming this has all been confirmed? I figured 4K would be a no brainer for the next 'update' but I guess that will be on the next gen switch??

Going to fire up Breath of the Wild for the first time since 2017 soon. Thinking about playing it on the harder difficulty.

Do you have any kind of plan mapped out? Which divine beast/region first?

I kinda accidentally stumbled into the desert first … I think it’s really supposed to be fourth … and didn’t even find Lurelin Village til after beating the game.

I tried to play it again recently, noticing the poor frame rate for the first time and immediately turning it off. I swear PS5's 60 FPS ruined me.

Good. Ship all the games you’re not using up to Burt. He can swing by and drop them off for me on his way to Texas.

OK. What game(s) do you want? Don't you already have BOTW?
