Official Nintendo Thread - Oh SNAP!

Anyone have any experience getting an overheating switch repaired? The repair site says you have to go to the troubleshooting page first, but there is no page for overheating issus.

My son is interested in getting one of the Pokemon games on the WiiU eShop. Should we get one of the mystery dungeon or ranger games for the DS or one of the older ones? He's only played Sword.

I’ve been playing Super Mario 3D World with a six year old. Stay in the bubble or you’re going to bed.

[pinkerton]

Bowser’s Fury is addictive and fun but I thought I was gettin cappy back

[Kenny]

I'm down to play 3D World online with people again with a headsup

FACTS. my six year old just pushes forward. see that green star? well dad's gotta come back later after bedtime to get it

[blake]

God playing DS games on the WiiU is so great. I really wish there were more titles available on virtual console.

[reversemigraine]

Fuck.

[Kenny]

This Project Triangle demo is hilarious in that it drops you in the middle of the plot and makes you read endless reams of diaglog before you get to the gameplay...

Getting the second green star in pirahna creeper creek after dark was more annoying to me than any SMS level. Probably wouldn't have been hard with Peach but im doing everything as Mario (except for the levels with character-specific buttons).

[mooncalf]

That said, I'm liking 3d world now, post-game has been pretty fun. It's no DKCTF, but it's a solid mario game.

Any of these worth anything? I've got Death's Hangover already and it's... a little eh but not bad.

[xxx-xxx-xxxx]

i'll vouch for bit trip runner being pretty great. coffee crisis is supposed to be a decent beat 'em up. it also has a genesis/megadrive port

[Kenny]

Pocket Mini Golf and Mini Trains I got in some other huge sale and they are pretty decent

[tgk]

I loved bit trip beat, the first one, most of all, like playing the most stressful game of pong you ever experienced. bit trip runner games are fun for what they are but dont feel different from most mobile games, bit trip beat felt like its own cool thing

[quinine]

like playing the most stressful game of pong you ever experienced.

you could not possibly conceive of a blurb less appealing to me lol

[tgk]

lol for sure

[Locke]

yeah beat is the best one. i remember playing it by rotating the wii remote like a decade ago.

[tgk]

yep, back when the idea of downloading a game off the internet blew my mind. the wii remote rotation was really lovely, i bet i'd miss it if i played on switch

[bluemovers]

oh fuck me Bravely II has a legit card game, i'm toast

[figar0]

hmmm

[tgk]

Is it just a screen upgrade?

[That Demon Life]

Interesting. I probably won't get it until it has a satisfye equivalent unless it's just a screen upgrade and then I probably won't get it period.

Unless it's the same size and just has smaller bezels and I can use my current stuff anyway

[That Demon Life]

Though if it doesn't also upgrade the internals, I'll probably pass anyway tbh.

[figar0]

if its outputting 4k while docked like that says then its 100% having some upgrades underneath...likely using dlss or something to achieve 4k stuff

[tgk]

Yeah it seems like a waste to up your visual like that without making the processor able to handle more graphics heavy games. Shit if they can start porting ps4 era games over imagine the possibilities

[tgk]

Man doing my replay of 3d world and I distinctly remember the disappointment that world castle was the end of the game proper but then bowser snatches the end title card and you get the badass reveal of bowser casino carnival worldToggle Spoiler

So good.

[deadbass]

You can’t just do DLSS though. That would require a GPU upgrade (currently requires tensor cores). Implementing it on a per game basis is still kinda tough as I understand it. Probably they’ll just upscale to 4K, unless it’s a big upgrade on the hardware (hopefully it is).
