Is it a game or system? Always interested in some Nintendo.

System. Looks like its combining their handheld and console markets with a modular tablet thing. Looks interesting but might be too big for a commute. What I'd really like is for them to crack wide-open their Virtual Console pricing.

Ah right. Fuck that so. I want to see a proper system I can play on my TV rather than this mobile gaming shite.

It's Nintendo so it'll be around the lower end of the market especially as they've traded power for portability. Probably 50-100 cheaper than whatever the priciest console on the market is. Same price as an iPad.

Yea it's a proper console that turns into a handheld, like the Wii-U but taken one step further. Looks amazing to be honest. That Zelda game is going to be immense too.

phonics
20-10-2016, 09:31 PM
The thing to consider is where it's getting the power from. Is it a low resolution screen that when docked uses the a CPU in the base to upscale it? Or is the power in the tablet bit with a terrible battery time? I don't see how they can have both.

The problem is it isn't a handheld console, it is a games console which becomes portable for whatever reason. Have you seen the size of the fucker? No one is going to lug one of those around, bearing in mind they more than likely already have a phone and/or a tablet. Also having those little side controllers which can detach is stupid, firstly because they seem to be designed for tiny hands and secondly because they will easily get lost.

Disco

Whatever wanky new bollocks Nintendo comes up with won't matter as long as they can get developers and publishers on board with some decent games, plus it'll sell eleventy million in Japan anyway.

I will make one prediction, I bet they're hard to get hold of at release. Not because it'll be that popular but because they'll under-produce it so there's lots of stories about how it's sold out everywhere.

It looks the same size as a Kindle or an iPad mini...


That analysis shows the Nintendo Switch has a roughly 6.5" screen and individual controllers slightly smaller than those on the NES.

http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2016/10/how-big-is-the-nintendo-switch-an-ars-visual-analysis/

So about an inch bigger than an iPhone 7 plus. FUCKING HUUUUUUUUUUGE.

Much too big to be playing games with a controller input method. Maybe once I get my hands on it and give it a go, it might be fantastic to use, but at the moment it looks like it will be a pain.

Don't be too sure of that. If its too big for their commute-heavy lifestyles, they'll stick with the DS or PSP. The 3DS sales weird me out a bit as that thing's selling 20m in each major territory. I'm not used to seeing an even split on any console, these days.

I really think they've botched it yet again here. One notable title at release (although Zelda is a console seller) and they've priced it about £50 too high.

Plus I've been hearing horror stories about the memory, only 32GB and can only be expanded through SD Cards.

I want one. Really, really badly. As a PC gamer the consoles offer me nothing outside of the odd exclusive but the idea that I could bring this to work and just play Zelda, which coincidentally looks like one of the coolest games ever, on my lunchbreak is enough to make me consider taking the dive. Even at that awful price. I'd be fine with the price if you got the Pro Controller as well but the fact that you don't get a game let alone the controller is just mental.

Browning
08-03-2017, 10:53 AM
Jesus, it's £280? For some reason I had it in my head it was around the £220 mark especially as one of the websites was doing it for £198 as a pre-order.

I'll be waiting for some deals then.

So far so Nintendo. Still at least you can pay for a 30 year old rom that you get to keep for a whole month!

I'm also willing to bet that Zelda has a dungeon where you lower the water level and one based around switches that change the landscape around in some way, because they all do.

I've just bought a second hand Wii U with Pro Controller for £150. Guy I know was sent two copies of the new Zelda due to Amazon fuck up, so he's lending me his spare.

Just get a cheap Wii U and play Zelda, there's barely any fucking difference between the two bar Wii U is 720p, Switch is 900p(!). Joke of a machine.

Also, the frame rate is horrendous on the new Dragon Quest, its not even an intensive game.

It comes with a docking station. The only thing I'd recommend is getting some form of pro controller for when you're sitting down. The rest is just nonsense they sell to idiots.

Edit: there is one thing, a micro SD card for storage. Make sure to check the type though as Nintendo only accepts certain ones.

I also bought this controller https://www.amazon.co.uk/Hori-Nintendo-Controller-Officially-Licensed/dp/B01NAUATSM/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8 It's not a mental price like the actual Pro controller, still licenced by Nintendo and feels good.

The docking station needed to play on TV is included. It also includes a stand, but the stand is a bit shit, so you can buy another one if you prefer. The stand is only used to.... well... stand the thing up on a table or whatever when you're playing on the move.

That's this week's squad battles done, finishing around the 65,000 mark for a firm Elite 2 finish. Had the luxury of playing the last four games on professional difficulty and loved bringing Sane on as the centre back that goes forward when ultra attacking, absolute beast. Sane and Promes are the bench players for these two squads that I've been rocking for a while now.

I will admit, the one issue I ran into seemed to be a bug or me being dumb and not being able to progress past the third level. It's probably the latter.

It's surprisingly funny for a game that presents itself as a Golf game. I actually laughed out loud at one point which is pretty good for reading text.

The reason it looks like a SNES game is two-fold, it's cheap and it's an homage to old games but mainly it's cheap.

The manager was dealing with it and mentioned the six month warrantee they give used consoles. Basically, they want to take no chances in case it knacks inside six months and they have no stock to replace it with.

murdered Rex after touching the magical sword that the busty lady above lives in.

Why arne't they in Eden you ask? Let's consult the wikipedia


According to legend, the people of Alrest (http://xenoblade.wikia.com/wiki/Alrest) originally resided with their creator, the Architect (http://xenoblade.wikia.com/wiki/Architect), in Elysium (http://xenoblade.wikia.com/wiki/Elysium), atop the World Tree (http://xenoblade.wikia.com/wiki/World_Tree). However, for unknown reasons, they were later expelled from the land. The Architect then sent the Titans (http://xenoblade.wikia.com/wiki/Titan) to save them, and since then the Titans have been the home to all inhabitants of Alrest. However, the Titans are not immortal, and eventually they will perish and sink beneath the Cloud Sea.

Titans are big dinosaurs and entire cities live on their back. Basically nothing makes sense.

Is it fun? Turn-based combat?

It's weird. It's real time but The basic attacks are automated by standing next to the enemy like an MMO, you then build up meter by auto attacking which eventually gives you access to 3 other skills that do more damage/other effects based on your point of attack (by pressing x, y or b) and if you time them correctly you get a boost to your special. Once you've built up enough special meter, you press that and a quick time event pops up which determines damage. Based on whether the enemy you're fighting is weak to that special you can then chain it with party member specials for extra damage.

That's literally the simplest way I can put it and I'm 6 hours in...

I think if I actually understood what was going on it might be good but at the moment I'm just lost. This isn't helped by the fact that I'm still in tutorial mode.

I also got repeatedly killed by a lvl 81 ape called Territorial Joe while I was level 6 trying to head to a main quest. This games weird.

Haven’t cracked the fishing yet either.

I've caught 3 or 4 but still failing about 75% of the time. Hopefully it gets easier later on.

Lads we've got enough for 4 2v2 rocketleague matches. Jump on the Discord and let's get a tourney going.

I've got an Elgato so we can stream the whole thing and I'll unleash some epic #ESPORTS commentary.

Almost finished two seasons on Stardew, I'm going to have to force myself to cut back soon.

I'm close to entirely binning off crop farming, other than to make stuff to complete the lists in the community centre or whatever it's called. While I can make a nice profit on it every now and then it's a lot of work and drains my character's energy which I need for mining. That and I make way more money from my chickens. God knows how big this mine is, I'm through 50 levels. It's brilliant though.

I’m just starting summer. Almost got enough for a chicken coop.

You’re right about the crop farming but its quite lucrative.

Probably make just as much down at the pier fishing all day though tbh.

What’s the money like from the chickens? Decent?

Your best bet (from what I've seen) is to make the Mayonnaise Machine as soon as you can once you get a Chicken because Mayonnaise sells for about 250 for a regular and more if you get a "large" egg. Eggs themselves only go for about 50. I currently have 4 Mayonnaise Machines (because it takes 3 hours and I hate having to go home every 3 hours) and 4 chickens so they're netting me roughly 1000 a day for next to no work. I'm hoping to expand to the 'Large Coop' shortly so I can incubate some more Chickens and try and get through 2 cycles of Mayo per day.

I've really not done any fishing since the earlier posts but I have noticed there's a collection for fish in the community centre so I need to start looking at that.

Edit- Oh, make sure you build a Stilo (which is cheap to make) before the Coop too, otherwise you'll struggle to feed them, especially when it rains (when it's sunny you can just let them go outside and find grass to eat).

80 levels into the mines now. Will it ever end?

Adamski

Think there’s 100 mines. I’ve not even dabbled yet.

Also, my community centre is still a ruin, do you need to do something specific to move that story forward?

Did you get invited to go and see a Wizard? Once you see him, he'll translate the weird book that's in there and then if you go back there it will give you a list of items that they want and bringing them all of the items will give you rewards/unlock more lists.

Adamski

Yeah done the first part but haven’t went back in to see him again. Will get on that.

You don't need to go back to the Wizard, you go back to the community centre and read the document again.

A year down in Stardew and I’m well and truly hooked. Winter was fucking tough not least of all because I didn’t have enough animal food and had to spend 6 grand on it. Having a whole season relying on animals and fishing did my farm the world of good though and I now have 7 chickens, 1 duck, 3 cows and a goat. Got the watering can, axe and pickaxe upgraded to gold and the kitchen added to the house. Also finally reached level 6 fishing which is the breakthrough level and makes it much easier.

To begin with you don't have much money so you'll want to focus on growing crops, fishing, foraging (going around finding shit on the floor which is worth money) and sorting out the huge amounts of wood/rock that cover your farm. I would suggest building chests when you can and storing one of everything (e.g. one turnip, one whatever else you choose to grow) in case you need them for missions or for the community centre later on, but past that just sell everything you can and try and rack up money and materials (wood/stone) so that you can build stuff later.

Getting a head of steam now.

Halfway through summer. Furnace is going, the jam maker and the thing to get maple syrup from the trees.

Been down about 10 levels in the mines, pretty boring.

Chicken coop is set up but fucking Marnie seems to take every other day off so haven’t been able to buy any yet.

Is there an easy way to see how much each item sells for? Just seem to be selling and hoping for the best here.

Also, went back to the community centre and the only options I seemed to have were around foraging parcels that didn’t make much sense. Any tips?

Mahow there a whole load of handy article should online to get you started.

Just found this which is quite handy. There’s a link in there detailing how much each item gets you when selling too.

The mine is pretty much essential to get a lot of materials, unfortunately.

Marnie is shut 2 days a week I believe, it fucked me over when I needed that 6 grand of food. Hopefully you bought a Silo first, if not, get that before any chickens or you'll struggle to feed them.

The only way to find out what they sell for, that I know of, is online. The Wiki is pretty damn good. I wouldn't worry too much though, just sell anything you don't need to keep. General rule is making it into an artisan good (Mayonnaise, Cheese, Alcohol etc) will increase the value a lot so I tend to do that whenever possible.

You have to complete one of the sets, so do the Summer one if you're half way through Summer. The Summer foraging bundle is just Grapes, Spice Berry and Sweet Pea all 3 of which are easy to find in summer. Find one of each, take them there, put them in and it should open up other bundles. You'll have to wait for the respective seasons to do the other foraging bundles.

Got it cheers. A melon harvest away from the greenhouse as well.

Browning

You won't be. To get the Greenhouse you have to complete all the bundles in that room so it isn't possible to do it until at least Winter. The melon will give you a reward though a 'quality sprinkler' which waters the 8 crops around it (in a 3 by 3 grid with the sprinkler in the morning) every day.

Edit- Oh there is no Winter Bundle, so I guess you could conceivably do it in Fall, but you'd need a hell of a lot of luck to get all the animal stuff in that time.
