I'm seriously debating an mClassic when I connect my Switch to a 4KTV. Do you hink it would benefit significantly by also attaching in the appropriate HDMI 2.1 cable, or just a waste of money if it's only upscaling from 1080p anyways?Okay, after playing with the mClassic for a little bit, I'm very happy with it. Pokemon Legends Arceus got a nice little bump to the point where docked looks as clean as handheld. And Xenoblade Chronicles 2 looks fantastic, the fuzziness of it was bugging me and that's basically gone now. I'm really glad I decided to bite the bullet on it.
Edit: @shoptroll I know you wanted to hear my opinion so here you go, haha l.
Tangentially related to video games because of who I found out about it from:
Yall if this retains the original's low and sleek profile (instead of being "reimagined" as a crossover SUV like so many cars now) and is even remotely pretty I am gonna lose my fucking mind.
You are correct. That was better left unsaid lol.no no no wayyyyy worse
I am glad no one made a joke about the Sportsmates being Mii 2 and supporting them and calling it the Mii 2 movement
No shame as it is the best Nintendo console other than switch (when factoring in DS compatibility and virtual console). If you want recommendations, hit you my VC thread. Of course you can ask here an I’ll inundate you with lots of DS/3DS releases (and try not to bankrupt you in the process).
Right. There’s also nothing stopping them from I dunno releasing a second system in the future which could theoretically bring the DS or Wii U style games back.I believe this is going to be the case, on top of the Switch being relatively gimmick-free. There's no double screens to account for, no necessary touch screen stuff, no microphone, etc. They don't need to account for those things going forward.
Okay that backend is clever.I imagine you've already seen it but I remember watching the DeLorean reboot episode on Supercar Megabuild through Disney+; the aesthetic changes honestly looked so fucking good but my favourite aspect was the rear of the car
I've already had my deposit put down on a PHEV Ford Escape and it's not as though I need a DeLorean right now...but good god if it gets the renaissance it so rightfully deserves and is full electric by 2027 with a range of about 600km at minimum at a reasonable price, whew lad
Our last Nintendo Direct was the weeb Direct.I will never understand why anyone would want to watch Crunchyroll (or Youtube) on Switch, but it’s nice that the option is there and that it further establishes the Switch is for weebs
Crunchyroll now on switch. Weebs stay winning
With the OLED model, I think the Switch is now a viable option to watch YouTube videos or anime, especially if you don't have an iPad !I will never understand why anyone would want to watch Crunchyroll (or Youtube) on Switch, but it’s nice that the option is there and that it further establishes the Switch is for weebs
Only problem in part 2, is that even though the combat is more engaging. It takes a long time to click before it gets really love. I love XC1 combat a bit more since it's more straightforward.If it means anything to you, in my opinion, the combat in 2 is waayyy more engaging and interesting.
I'm gonna be honest, I'm absolutely not the person to ask that question. Very rarely do I even care that much about a game's resolution, XBC2 just happened to be egregious enough to push me towards a purchase (and honestly I probably would have been fine without it but hey, gotta spend my tax return on something).I'm seriously debating an mClassic when I connect my Switch to a 4KTV.

One generation behind technically, one generation ahead gameplay wise.I love Nintendo but, damn, I really don't want them to be buying any major publishers like Ubisoft or Square Enix. Hell I don't even really want them buying smaller 'AA' devs like Platinum.
Unlike Sony and Microsoft there's only going to be downgrades if a previously-multiplatform company was made Nintendo exclusive. The games themselves will have to be kept one generation behind technically, there will be no chance of their games getting PC/PS/XB releases, and there's no Game Pass alternative to make the deal sweeter for consumers like me.

Maybe Nintendo can take the Milan team and develop a new Mario + Rabbids team (minus Rabbids lol)Funny how Ubisoft fought tooth and nail to keep their independence from Vivendi and now they're probably the next Western third party in line. But then again, they've made so proper duff decisions recently with the NFT grift and a laser like focus on GAAS titles, so what were they expecting?
Nintendo ain't going anywhere near Ubisoft. As for the others...dunno actually. Could be a big bidding war between Sony, Microsoft and maybe event Tencent and Amazon.
This thread from someone with some experience might be relevant to the conversation:
Though I agree the loss of the VC sucks and I wish Nintendo would give us both options: NSO and VC on Switch. With NSO they're trying to set each game up with online play and stuff that I don't care about (which seems to be their excuse for not just dumping the VC as-is onto Switch), but I think having just the regular VC versions would be great as a separate, purchasable option.

Understandable, it's just that some folks can't wait that long lol. From the moment, I see homeboy can cancel his attacks and make it faster by moving, I was willing to wait. My reaction was "shieeeet, I found some goddamn hidden tech already?". Xenoblade is one of those games exploiting the systems gives us more freedom and I love it.I put a higher priority on how fun it is rather than how long it takes to learn when deciding which is my favorite
Since 2's combat is more fun, I love it more
I can't play 2 anymore without doing that jitter step to constantly reset my auto attack pattern! It's a game changerUnderstandable, it's just that some folks can't wait that long lol.

This is my favourite GIF use for a while. Superb.

It absolutely will not happen, but what if Nintendo did something crazy....
They can launch all the new idea systems they want, but keep the Switch on the market with iterative successors and shared software libraries across systems where it makes sense to do so.Nintendo will launch Switch successor when they can create a new experience

This is Game Pass lolSee it this way: Less games to buy that you'll never play anyway.

How's the port?Playing MLB the Show 22 on Switch during working hours is mental. Seeing the Sony logo in the intro threw me off too, as I was playing in handheld.
And! The fact that the Switch eshop has been, and seems like always will be, on a browser rather than a separate application, means that it can (more?) easily be used as the merchant platform moving forward in perpetuity. The fact also that NSO retro titles can function and be launched from the browser-based eshop/news/NSO "app" probably means that it's the platform for the foreseeable future.You would hope that if Nintendo stick to their idea of future Nintendo consoles/Switch's all using similar architecture, that they can transfer the E-shop to their new console in one piece and have it cover both Switch and it's successor, kinda like Sony did with PS4 to PS5. What's causing these issues is the older consoles all having their own unique storefronts each eating up their own resources. If going forward we can have one store covering multiple console generation with a nice healthy chunk of backwards compatibility, that in itself would prevent situations like the closing of the Wii U/3DS stores going forward.

It's pretty bad. But I hope it's not final.How's the port?
Yeah, The Show looks god awful on the Switch in handheld mode.
