>>1700722 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHmL2pv7gQA One minute and forty five seconds in. I'll look for a more solidified source, but from what I saw the article went offline.

>>1700768 >>1700769 Interesting, it's been over a decade since I last played Minecraft, so I wasn't ware it had a 3rd person camera.

>>1700768 >>1700769 Minecraft's 3rd person camera is the most basic bitch shit imaginable so it sounds like westoids making shit up to pretend to be relevant.

>>1701258 I don't doubt it.

call me stupid, but I gotta ask. Are these "Nintendo Switch 2 Edition" games actual NSW2 ports or just Switch 1 games packed with BC enhancements? This whole new moniker got me confused. Why not drop that shit? I feel it'd be less confusing that way

>>1701282 I think they're the Switch 1 versions of the games with extra content, although I wouldn't know since I've only been playing Donkey Kong and Mario Kart on it.

>>1701282 It's confusing because it's neither. It's not a port because they both have extra content, and they are soft-remasters with enhanced graphics or performance, and in some cases with small bugfixes and other QoL improvements. Buying the switch 1 version and installing the switch 2 upgrade DOES in fact give you all that shit however, but the BC enhancements are free by default just off running on stronger hardware.

What's that? >the metal “cap” over the CPU underneath, thermal paste spot #2.

The last time I felt this way was doing surgery on my New 3DS. Those things have delicate ribbon cables.

>>1701686 At least you were able to fix it.

>>1701686 >>he warns to be delicate around this one. Scrape too hard or fast, and one wrong flick could dislodge a tiny capacitor and brick the whole device While fragile, those things are more resistant than you think. t. tried to modchip a switch and constantly scraped the pill capacitors with the searing hot tip of the soldering iron and somehow the device didn't shit itself. I think you basically have to hit it dead center to make it fly.

>>1701827 >t. tried to modchip a switch >tried >device didn't shit itself Did you give up halfway or something?

>>1701925 I melted the modchip ribbon cable and gave up on trying. The console still works somehow tho.

To anyone who has Kirby Forgotten Lands: Is the Switch 2 upgrade required to get the better frame rate?

How is Final Fantasy I - VI Pixel Remaster Collection? Thinking about buying it on cartridge.

>>1710328 >How is Final Fantasy I - VI Pixel Remaster Collection? Censored HD pixelshit Play 1-3 on the NES, 4 Complete on the PSP, and 5/6 either as the PS1 or GBA

>>1710626 4's DS remake is good too, though it's a 3D remake.

Seems like I gave in and bought the 1TB MicroSD Express from Lexar (never had an experience with this brand, only Sandisk and Samsung so far) to replace my 256GB card. I won't have to worry about storage space while installing shit like Project Diva (which costs nearly 50GB) and awaiting for the big Switch 2 ports such as Elden Ring and Yakuza Kiwami 2. >>1700611 The main game was mostly easy to be fair, outside of some bosses and challenge trials that required a bit more thinking, but it's fun because you just unga bunga your way through like you'd expect a big gorilla to do. The elephant power is probably the most busted transformation, since you can suck in everything like a vacuum (except metal) and earn a lot of money in the process. I also learned the director of Bananza is an ex-employee of SEGA (2003 ~ 2015) and Square-Enix (2015 ~ 2020), Kazuya Takahashi, who worked on The House of the Dead 4 and Nights Into Dreams. During its days at Squeenix, he only participated for Final Fantasy 15 and received special thanks for Forspoken, so it looks like Nintendo made better use of his talent by comparison. >>1701282 For third-parties, they're essentially NSW2 ports with the possibility to upgrade from a previously owned Switch 1 version (although it's not the case for everything, especially with Sega) For Nintendo games, they're either free upgrades that take advantage of the features from the new console or paid expansions containing extra game contents. >>1709160 >To anyone who has Kirby Forgotten Lands: Is the Switch 2 upgrade required to get the better frame rate? I only own the base game for now so yes, the Switch 2 upgrade needs to be bought in order to get the 60fps bump (alongside of the new levels). Otherwise, it's still the 30fps cap on Switch 2.

>>1715018 >the Switch 2 upgrade needs to be bought in order to get the 60fps bump Well that sucks.

>>1715229 Kirby tends to suck a lot

So how have you guys been liking silksong?

>>1731785 I didn't care for Hollow Knight

>>1733288 >Fuck Kirby Is that what you want?

>>1731785 I was stuck for a while until I found out the game expected me to just run trough the area where you take cold damage from the air, unlike metroid, where you get the suit that negates environmental damage before you enter that area. I'm not even mad, it was a good challenge.

>>1675092 I can explain. In the last ~5 years a bunch of things happened: >Nintendo performatively acquiescing to Blackrock pressures but not really. Blackrock got really tired of this. >The Smash Melee tournament scene groomed/raped/killed one too many kids and Nintendo started going hard trying to break it up >Nintendo started bricking people's Switches when they got banned off of games like Splatoon 3 for spamming messages that advertised gender transitioning to children The things that they use as a bludgeon to attack Nintendo with are secondary to these issues. Like the Palworld thing for example, there's a million Pokemon clones out there, and Palworld is in no way at all remarkable, it's your run of the mill Blizzard/Mihoyo potpourri of whatever games were popular in that decade, yet it seemingly exploded in popularity (somehow I don't know anyone who owns it, and haven't seen anyone stream it, but maybe that's just me. I do think there's a chance it's all free keys to Indian engagement farms, at a minimum something weird is going on there because I haven't even seen memes about it) Most of the anti-Nintendo content is coming from the LGBT. The fucked part is that there are actually relevant and fair criticisms of what Nintendo's been doing lately. I relented a bit on going Digital only when I saw how much of a tech limitation cartridges are, but holy shit the prices are insane and making people pay $10 PER TITLE to basically unlock their console's hardware on older games is a complete catastrophe + the screen ghosting issue. It won't matter at all, Nintendo knows they can get away with this and more because Sony is not putting up any competition and Xbox gave up, but man does it suck. The people shitting on MKW don't care about any of that though, they're either mad groomers or being paid.

>>1766406 >I relented a bit on going Digital only when I saw how much of a tech limitation cartridges are I don't buy that at all.

>>1766406 >spoiler There aren't that many clones, and things such as Monster Rancher or Digimon are very different from standard Pokemon. There are more romhacks, than clones, but those are still built upon a Pokemon game. As for someone who owns it, I do, and did post about it in the thread when it got released, but back then it was clearly unfinished and bare-bones, not worth the money, so I stopped playing. Might got for it again, since they did update the game with new content. My guess is that it was just one of those Flavor of the Month games, like Lethal Company. Just because you don't see people playing LC anymore or memes being made about it, doesn't mean that only indians and bots played it. As for streaming, it has similar numbers to Factorio, and is just a bit below Mario Kart World, so interpret that as you will. As for Steam players, there are 20k people playing right now, a far cry from what it had at launch, but it's still active. Maybe you just didn't interact with the community, as i don't think we have that many Palword players here.

>>1766455 there's video comparisons of the load times, keep in mind that storage speed also affects general performance and FPS they're definitely also doing it to cut corners and increase profit, but I'd rather run games off storage than off the cartridge even if they had them I think the better option would've been cartridges with the game fully loaded on them, which then has to be installed on the console. but again, zero competition so it is what it is

>>1766503 I don't mean clones, I mean games that try to have that pokemon feel creature designs, setting, mechanics, etc. Palworld for example is not a clone, it's ARK with Pokemon, the reason they got in trouble was because they plagiarized a bunch of stuff but it's obviously not a turn based rpg and even when it was supposedly so popular, the most I've seen in terms of organic content people made around it was porn of Ice Furret or loli Thundurus that fall off in a week is also really suspect it just never felt right

>>1766591 >that fall off in a week is also really suspect The fall, it's just because a lot of retards bought into the hype and meme like me, saw that it was an unfinished game, but who had already played more than 2 hours so no refunds, and well, dropped it, in favor of other, much better games.

>>1766632 nah, I've played disaster games that lost 99% of their launch playerbase, it never ever happens that fast even PSO2NGS kept a playerbase for months, and that game had like 5 hours of content on launch if I'm being generous

Anyone watch Nintendeen?

anyone got links for switch game downloads

>>1776825 Yesum
