I know about the Switch Lite being terrible but does the public need a portable system when Smart Phones are a thing? Apparently so.

Hearthstone is like the one playable game on phones, everything else sucks ass.

While I agree that most smartphone games are trashy, Ad-Infested garbage. There are more diamonds in the rough than hearthstone. The mobile games thread actually showed me a few.

I genuinely do not get why this system is so popular.

Lots of good games? I've legit run out of Xbone exclusives to play in my console rotation.

There are Xbone exclusives?

A few..there was Sunset Overdrive..which was better than you would think..shame we won't ever get a sequel.

Those are also on Windows. PC + PS4 is all you need, lol.

That was like in the past year man, 4 years an an exclusive counts.

I really wish Rare Replay would get a Windows port, even though I guess you can't technically count a rerelease compilation as an exclusive.

The presentation's really nice and you get a lot of good games for like $15.

I never take mine out of docked mode because portable mode is ass and the joycons are also ass. You need a pro controller because they're so cheap that they won't include the controller mode charging base for the joycons but will include an empty plastic shell that looks just like one. The charging base runs around 30-40 bucks and a new pro controller is around 60-70.

Basically they need Americans to design their hardware.

Guess its all down to preference, I used mine almost exclusively in handheld. Was good to take on extended holidays, I basically played through BotW in downtime between touristing.

Have barely touched it in months though. Caught up on the handful of indy games I never got on PC and not much I want to play on it now. Its 90% old indy stuff, re-releases of old games (just get an emulator) and a lot of weeb anime shit.

I'm thinking of hacking mine to just put some emulators on it because its just gathering dust. Not sure how tricky the process is now though.

I wonder what facial expression was on the liberal man-pusses when they found out about their Switch.

 

[Disc]

The biggest advantage the switch has is being able to play a lot of games that aren't traditionally portable. It means that for some people, it's worth getting the switch version even if you have a console or pc version already.

not to mention, leaks should somewhat be expected at this time. A lot of closed circuit companies no longer have the luxury of being closed, because half or more are working from home. I remember that coming up in some chats on here...

I feel you on the hunt for a good D-pad. They're few and far between.

I'd guess it's a mix of corner cutting and trying to wedge way too much tech into something simple. The Switch Joy-cons are $80 for a pair and have serious problems with their control sticks drifting (acting like they're tilted in one direction when they're not being touched), but they also have shit like haptics, gyroscopes, NFC, and a depth camera built-in. Wanna guess how many games even use the depth camera? Just gimmicky stuff made for game journalists and redditors, like 1, 2, Switch and Labo.

It'd be pretty great if we could just get some solid buttons and sticks that'll do their job well and last a long time, but I guess it's more important that Carl the Cuck stomp around in his cardboard robot suit while Jamal's visiting with his wife.

I like my 8bitdo SN30+, it's the only Bluetooth controller I've found that's good enough to do the single-wall wall jump trick in Super Metroid.

I had a few weird logins from another continent the other day. I've no card attached to my account so not sure what they'd gain, but I also don't want to enable 2-step authentication since my phone is close to dying. What exactly does this hack even entail?

Being able to play full-fledged games while hanging out on campus during hour-long gaps between classes is pretty great.

Not to mention a ton of older games, some being remastered. It's not a big purchase for someone who isn't a broke-ass student.
