    Playing Zelda already makes me never want to do anything with the Switch motion controls ever again.

    I turned off motion control immediately.

    Well aside from the gyroscope shrines obviously.

    Since I'm putting off getting a switch till next year, I'm honestly real tempted to get MK8 and a wii remote so I can play it with Anya

    You can turn off motion controls in Arms!

    Motion control very much seems like the point of Arms

    And it's the gyroscope dungeons in Zelda that makes the motion stuff seem straight up busted

    I literally do not know what you're talking about

    Not fun, that's up to personal taste

    They are completely and 100% functional

    Arms is... a thing I am totally not into but I appreciate that Nintendo's trying a new weird thing.

    Look, if she's ever going to be good at ripping people's heads off with the spine still attached, she has to start now.

    The gyro stuff in zelda seems to have some weird sensitivity issues, except for the aiming. I like it for making small adjustments.

    Arms is supposed to support normal controls as well as the motion based ones, so no worries there.

    They don't seem to be anymore "the point" (whatever that means) than gyro aiming was in Splatoon

    It's just a different input method, is all

    Everything they've shown of Arms so far seems centered around motion control. You can change the control schemes, but I haven't seem them showing off people playing it like that. It seems intended to use motion control.

    And also seems like it could be neat or entirely mediocre, but I don't think it looks particularly exciting or enticing. But I don't really like boxing games.

    I will take what I can in lieu of a new Punch-Out

    Also I'm starving for Switch games, but even if my plate were full of them, Arms looks legit really cool and I love all the designs and art

    Does it have any sort of campaign?

    In the tree house after the Switch news conference it showed a lot and NOTHING of Arms

    I'm still sad we'll never get a sequel to that

    IIRC the developer who made that was bought up by blizzard to make the starcraft ghost third person shooter game. After blizzard decided to axe that project they dissolved the studio. RIP.

    In my head I conflated Metal Arms with Tiny Tank for the longest time and so figured that Metal Arms had a really obnoxious main character and I wouldn't play it no matter how good the reviews were

    Now I'd be curious to try it, should try to find a PS2 copy pretty soon

    I would take a sequel or just a straight port at this point. HD remake, come on!

  • BahamutZEROBahamutZERO Registered User regular
    I wonder who has the rights to Metal Arms now
    I guess probably whoever published it, not the developer and thus blizzard

    That was a Sierra joint, under the Vivendi banner.......who merged with Activision! Also brought over in that merger? Blizzard.

    I remember Metal Arms: GITS being one of those platform-y shoot-y type games of that era where I would constantly get stuck on like level 1 or 2 and never finish. That, the Jango Fett game, etc.

    It's basically Ratchet and Clank except with lots of wise-cracking robots.

    I remember metal arms being pretty tough too after a certain point since the way its checkpoint system worked meant you could get saved at a bad time and screw yourself and have to start a level over to be in a better position health/ammo wise

    The zelda motion shrines feel unresponsive and laggy. I know the gyros are very snappy as gyro aiming works fine if I wanted it, but that heaviness is what makes the shrines feel awful imo.

    I get why they did it since it'd be weird if this huge apparatus was moving around too fast but fuck it at least it would control sort of well.

    Ok, having a character called Master Mummy is a pretty good way to get my attention. Also

    "It almost looks like his guard restores health... oh wait, it does! Oh right, the bandages, makes sense"

    Sure why not. Mixing and matching arms is a good sign, but balance might be tough.

    Can you imagine if a Japanese film critic was reviewing trolls the movie and kept saying how it was a disappointing piece of American cinema compared to the godfather

    i can imagine a world where a film critic is wrong, yes.

    The HDMI thing is annoying for me too, is it trying to search for updates? Because the WiiU allowed you to set a timer for that

    secret of mana might be coming to switch? with multiplayer??

    yeah, it've got it hooked up to an HDMI switch, and every time it activates for a moment it steals focus from whatever I'm watching

    it's already black-screened my tv when I'm part way through a movie three or four times so far

    oh shit, that's not Secret of Mana, that's Seiken Densetsu 3

    screw mother 3, getting that localized is the true holy grail

    That's another thing, it keeps doing it in the space of a few minutes. Before I solved the WiiU issue I could at least manually switch back, here it's cable yanking.

    I'm inclined to think that if it hasn't already happened it probably won't

    but that's definitely something I'd pay money for

    Turn off HDMI CEC on the Switch, that will probably stop it taking control?

    Wait a second I just realized

    They're not launching their online stuff til splatoon

    So does that mean arms has no online support

    Because if not my interest just tanked unless it has a cool looking campaign they haven't discussed

    Still I am waiting till Splatoon to think about a switch

    And since I was really tempted to get another WIIU because my brother and I played Splatoon so much

    Does the Switch have any ad hoc MP support?
