Nintendo Switch, the only console today making games which are games

[DJOGamer PT]

I'm waiting for a patch to see if Nintendo fixes the framerate issues, it's a pretty minor thing but I'm kind of OCD about it and Link's Awakening deserves all the polish it can get, it's probably my favourite Zelda.

Wait for emulation and run the fucking thing in 4k at 144fps.

I wonder if Nintendo Switch emulation is ever going to come true.

Dude it has been true for at least a year now.

Is there's much of a running-pc-games-via-Linux scene on the homebrew?

To answer myself: No.
I overestimated what this thing is capable of. Forgot that it's an ARM platform so getting it to run Linux does not mean Steam and Wine necessarily follow. I'm actually thankful for all the Beamdog ports etc now.

 

[Great Deceiver]

Do the shitty EEs come with the original versions now? Last I checked, the originals were not available for purchase because Beamdog are talentless cucks.

I mean, I have a switch and I dont know why I would play IE games on it. Just seems like a really suboptimal mix no matter beamdog etc. More than enough good games on it that are served well by portability and controllers, you arent ever buyinh any console for true old school CRPGs.

Anyone playing Luigi Mansion 3?



I've played it for a few hours and am enjoying it so far. I really like the environments and the overall visual design. It looks like a good Pixar movie. Gameplay wise it's too early for me to make proper judgement but so far I'm really liking it. There's a lot of neat puzzles.

good physics in luigi mansion

 

[Steamboat Willie]

Good physics are wasted on any game that doesn't have tits in it.

So console negros my kids have been begging me hard for a Switch. I'm probably going to capitulate and get them one for Christmas this year.

What are the best local multiplayer games for kids (7, 5)? Mario Kart of course but what else? Super Mario Maker? Mario Party? Smash Bros? Diablo III is a kids game right?

Right now the only two I know I'd get them are Mindcraft and Kart 8.

And do you need an extra $80 controller (Jesus Apple indeed) or can a knock off work?

Just bought this cause I needed something different to play. I'd actually no idea what Luigi Mansion games were like, only that I'd heard of them in passing as good games. So far it's alright. It surprisingly has some of the best graphics of I've seen so far on the Switch. Nice lighting, nice physics, and makes excellent use of colors to make up for any faults in the Switch's power. I'm not deep enough to comment on the puzzles or anything; I find the combat sorta difficult cause you have to like hold the flashlight and swing the aim around with the same hand. I will say the game is a lot funnier than I expected with a lot of visual / slapstick type gags.

Mario Party should be fun for any age.

Mario kart first , 5 is a bit too young still but doable 7 is ok . Super smash bro is mandatory, you can also use an adapter and gamecube controllers for it, buy some cheap chinese copy. Diablo 3 maybe not, being bitter old men,with no souls, impossible to shock we tend to forget the kid sensibilities and innocence. For exemple i was surprised to see the dragon in super mario near end game was too scary for my nephew, he did not want me to buy skyrim either , so your kids might be scared by the diablo monsters....
The party game are fun too , sport games and dance stuff.

Yeah I was joking about Diablo. So Kart, Party, Minecraft (7 year old has been bugging me for a while), and smash. So $300 console and $200 in games. Fuck this might be all they are getting for Christmas.

There's always Pokemon. Buy it for them, play it yourself.

I've made it 40 years without playing a single Pokemon game and I hope to make it another 40.

You usually spend more on them for Christmas?

If so, I guess they are being rational economic subjects by expecting a Switch.

Who could have known ? You expect a cesspool, a den of vicious sociopaths and it turns out codexers are good dads, cherishing their kids .

God no. But they have no concept of money larger than say $20. If I just get them a Switch they are going to wonder where their other presents are.

If you mean on PC the EEs have always come with the original versions on GOG, since release. Not sure about Steam.

 

[Makabb]

I was thinking about getting Death Stranding or Fallen Order.... i'll probably just get the new pokemon lol

 

[Makabb]

hmm sword or shield version ?

 

[Makabb]

 

[Mortmal]

oldmanpaco , i forgot to mention Nintendo labs, its costly and will keep them busy only one afternoon but its worth it, i think you should buy it for yourself to try , the robot one is quite fun to build . Games are sadly very shallow so its 50 euros for one afternoon, still less expensive that going out.

Yeah I know that feeling. I tried explaining why Santa wasn't going to bring my 7 year old some £220 lego set of a fucking dinosaur he'd seen on YouTube and he asked me why Santa's elves couldn't just make it? I had to pass an INT and CHA check to get out of that one. (Because there's too many bits in it and that'd mean that's all the elves could make, surely you'd want them to make other presents besides a bloody dinosaur you'd put together in a day and then leave round the house to annoy me and mummy?)

You might have a look at chinese lego brands https://uploads.brickset.com/docs/clonebrands_v1.6.pdf , its 2016 , but guess it's still true. Lego is the most overpriced toy ever, plus you cant really do anything with the new ones anymore they are almost prebuilt.

It's funny, we've got him some of this stuff off ebay and he's 7 but he can tell the chinese knock-offs inside a minute. None of them fit very well together, hair comes off at the drop of a hat and hands spin round like windmills. I'm actually slightly nervous we're fostering a prejudice here as when something breaks or doesn't work very well I've heard him say "Maybe it's chinese." We laughed, but a bit nervously lol.
