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

[Jarpie]

I wouldn't be surprised if it's retards buying stuff from scammers who asks their Nintendo account info.

What's the closest thing to a Gothic-like on the Switch? (I was hoping they'd port Elex or the Risens but I guess the Krauts don't switch)

I got half a mind to dive into skyrim a decade late but I figured I can hold off till the hype dies.

Breath of the Wild.

Pretty stupid to only own a Switch if you're looking to play Western RPGs, but yeah... Zelda is similar enough, and very good.

It is absolutely justified to own a Switch, only to play Deadly Premonition 2

Or just .. you know, use an emulator.

inb4 DP2 runs better on the emulator than on the Switch itself

Sunshine still has amazing looking water. Big issue with it is 30fps cap, even in Dolphin. If they could remove that...

NTSC-U version of sunshine can be played in 60 fps with a hack with no problems

Which Switch emulator I can bring to toilet with me comfortably?

The Switch is a great system and I'm very happy with it due to Pokemon, Shin Megami Tensei, and Fire Emblem, but man does it seem like the owners have some shit taste whenever I check what the top sellers are

An interesting tidbit here: It got revealed that top sellers are pooled on total revenue, not on sales number.
This means a 60 bucks game like breath of the wild is gonna stay in the top charts forever, since a 20-30$ game needs to sell double or triple the numbers to take its spot for a week.
So a good smaller rpg like Steamworld Quest has rough times to get into the top charts.

Given the first game and the state of the footage we've seen it's better to just watch an LP instead of dealing with the gameplay.
Not sure if there will be a decent one anytime soon though.

They run sales all the time. I often get games for almost nothing. The exception are the mainline Nintendo catalog -- they're usually like 20% off at most if they ever get a promo.

For those who own Switch, how is it's quality?

Honestly it looks like cheap tablet with shitty plastic controlers buy it may be just a false impression.

I thought it was a cheap piece of shit when I took it out of the box. Like the holder that you hook to the TV set is flimsy plastic to put it kindly. Looks like something you'd buy second hand out of a flea market stall and then lose in the cluttered trunkspace of your car. But it all works. Like the first time I was playing Zelda on the TV, then hooked the joycons into it and took it with me into the bathroom to take a monstrous shit, and it just seamlessly went handheld and still looked great, I was like... this is actually genius as all fuck.

^ Mean every word of that.

Depends on your priorities. There are devices where I really care and will pay for the quality of the hardware, the design, materials, etc. A portable game device? Not so much. Why do I care about top notch chips or whatever if it has good games?

It's durable enough and I never worry too much about carrying it around. There's a known issue where they cheaped out on the controllers and the analogue is prone to drift. In US and some other places they are 'repairing' for free if so.

Mixed. The Switch itself feels solid, the controllers snap in nicely and it doesn’t feel creaky or cheap. I slapped on a $10 screen protector and the screen has held up great and I don’t worry about dropping it into the dock. That said, the dock feels light and cheap, putting the Switch into it just means literally dropping it loosely into it without any tactile response, the stand on the back of the Switch for playing with the controllers disconnected is completely useless and not fit for purpose, and the JoyCon analog sticks are notorious for being crap and prone to failure (my original left one broke and can’t click in but doesn’t have the “drift” most complaints are about). So... it’s okay but not built like a tank like Nintendo stuff typically has been.

The analog sticks are shit. You have to baby them or you'll end up with stick drift. I had to replace mine once after getting pissed while playing a game and pushing on them too hard

You don't play Nintendo stuff for graphics.

I hope Yuzu / Ryujinx will handle Shin Megami Tensei V good enough so I won't be forced to buy Switch.

Basically, get a Switch if you want Nintendo exclusives or things that are portable. I also occasionally pick up ports of older games on it or things where I don't care about the graphics or performance, usually because they're old or simpler games. There are other platforms that are better suited for graphics and performance, but they're not as portable, etc.

Frame rate and resolution are gameplay concerns. Unless the games are 2D pixel art.
