The Nintendo Switch is the latest system from Nintendo, the company that developed Mario Party and other games
It comes with a docking unit that does HDMI and power, a 6.2" tablet screen that is placed into the dock at home, but can be pulled out and taken on the go, with portions of the system's modular controller placed onto the sides of it
All the power for the system comes from the tablet, which will display at 720p, and it can be assumed that the docking unit will either upscale or render the games at 1080p on TVs
That's pretty much all the information there is about it, the rest will be announced on January 12th in advance of its release in March
That won't stop wild speculation, though, so have at it

Yeah the 11th. I was going to pre-order it but the pre-orders are sold out everywhere it looks like. Hopefully they'll be available in stores. At least by around Christmas.
Because if they instead decide to make something new that only works with the switch well... lol
They have mentioned nothing for the Switch besides it's portable

go to jail
Good lord is that a complicated ending
I think I preferred 999, overall, but I still dug it enough to stick with the trilogy.
I'm barely into Zero Time Dilemma, but I'm liking the central conceit, and loving "Junpei as embittered a-hole"
Overall criticism of this series - boy oh boy do I hate the """"""jokey""""" perv dialogue that pops up over and over again
Yeah! How could one not mention classic Nintendo properties like Cross the Road Froggy, Speedy Blue Dude, and Yellow Dot Eater.
There I fixed it.
Just take away the tram bullshit
Also I have been...toying with the idea for the past couple days of doing a blog in the near future focused entirely on games that are available for Nintendo systems
Uuuugh yeah, that's awful. Even worse is C team's reset box scenario.
But what would you do after the second post?
there are 3 things in the game I really did not like and that is one of them
anyway a game called gurumin just got ported to the 3ds, it's an old falcom game that was originally on pc/psp. has anyone played it? it looks good
Write a few dozen more
I'm told his unmasked form is based on the original Kamen Rider, which is pretty cool—and his unlimited form's lower mask looks like a metal mouth??? I dunno if that references anything in particular; sentai teams do that sometimes right
Also his version of the Ukemi apparently causes an explosion
I'm trucking along. The game feels good on Hard Mode, like it's really opening up by throwing me up against higher concentrations of more difficult enemies and making me reconsider how I approach the smaller ones. Cool cool cool. When I beat Hard Mode I'll have Rodin....!
But now instead of playing it, whenever I get the urge to see more of it I'll just rewatch some episodes of Chip Cheezum's lp. He goes through goddamn everything in that game getting almost entirely pure platinum along the way. It's a joy to watch. It's also really fun seeing all the little tricks I missed in my playthroughs, because there are so many. The game is just stupid dense.
So I drop a bomb, then stun him with team attack, then wait for time dilation to end, then I start juggling him. Use Unite Hand in the Unite Rising, pound on him a bit, Unite Rising, then I give him a few Team Swords to hold him in the air while I drop to the floor
Now I still have a team attack on him, so when I hit him with Rising I do it from the top of his position, which knocks him even higher and... puts him above the surface of the water, which enemies treat like ground. Which means he can't get down. And he's like 200 feet above me. I try to shoot him with the gun but can't.
So I go over to the wall and Unite Build my way up the wall, and Green just climbs his big round self right up a ladder while a panther man is going insane on the surface of the water
Then he starts doing his underground attacks, which are only supposed to happen on the solid ground! So he's under the surface of the water but I can't see him, because he's underground, and he's shooting his drills up out of the water and I can't see them until they're coming up, and it's relaly hard to fight a panther man when you're swimming and he's walking
So I dropped a Unite Bomb and killed him with the Attack Liner
Pure Platinum for easily the stupidest battle I've ever had
I should fix that.
Black Paint Bowser wasn't hard, except for the fact that the boss hinges on you getting those stupid in-battle QTEs exactly right or you can just go fuck right off. Made me absolutely furious because some of those weren't intuitive to how you blocked similar enemy attacks (or similar attacks from the same fucking boss!). It's emblematic of the arbitrary bullshit that they put you through with every boss fight. It's a guessing game that gamers who actually value their time quickly defer to guides (yeah, the guy who tells you which Things you need is important, but he doesn't tell you how to deploy them which is as much of a guess as what you need, which the game often hits you on the head with anyway).
I've never liked QTEs in RPGs, and making a final boss that hinges on doing them right is just a big middle finger.
And my opinion is action RPGs suck and action commands in a turn based system are way better.
you can slap any ol' SD card in there and it'll work, right? are there any weird limitations i should know before i go out and buy the biggest god dang card i can find?

it doesn't take higher than 32gb, but that should be plenty
GameStop didn't take preorders for it, so I suppose I could try my luck there on Friday, but I'm gonna hit up Target this week and ask if they're getting stock that's available on Friday to non-preorders

On some level I feel like that means they know they're too short?
