Nintendo NX is now Switch (Official thread) (1 Viewer)

[DaveF]

Hope you can get it fixed fast!

 

[Morgan Jolley]

I dunno. I have started an RMA

Sometimes the Joycons (specifically the left one) has issues with communicating to the Switch if it loses line-of-sight. Are you sitting too far away with some obstruction?

They are docked on the switch.

 

[Morgan Jolley]

They are docked on the switch.

Yeah then that means the joystick itself probably has issues. Luckily, Nintendo's repair facilities are open again.

Ive moved and still have all my stuff in boxes awaiting a remodeling of my basement, so I was able to order a switch lite at Best Buy so I figured I’d grab it for some portable diversions. Can you all give me some accessories and games I should pick up, i like classic arcade, sports and shooters, and puzzle games

 

[DaveF]

Pay the $20 for the online service to get the classic Nintendo games. I’m not a retro gamer, but I’m enjoying playing Donkey Kong Country from the SNES.

Tons of bang for your buck. Also Namco Museum classics is great with Pac-Man, and Dig Dug, and GALAGA!

Some of my favorite Arcade Archives downloads are Burgertime, Sunset Riders, Kangaroo, In the Hunt, Moon Patrol, and Time Pilot.

I also spend a lot of time with Time Tunnel and Road Fighter, but they're not as beloved by the average classic gaming fan, so probably aren't great candidates for a blind purchase. Check them out on YouTube first.

And things like Contra, Donkey Kong, and all the big name classic shooters in the Arcade Archives program speak for themselves. All are worthy downloads. And two big favorites are announced and should be available by the end of summer. Burnin' Rubber (Known to us westerners as Bump 'n' Jump) and Raiden were both announced a while ago by the Arcade Archives team. Day 1 downloads for me.

Ordered all three! Any good pinball ?

 

[Bryan^H]

Ordered all three! Any good pinball ?

The Stern Pinball is Ok, although many are newer tables. Phantom of the Opera is the best of the bunch.


Available digitally Pinball FX 3 has a lot of tables to choose from. I really can't stand the way they treat the Williams classic Pinball emulations, and I'm not a fan of the physics in any of their Pinball tables...but they are basically the only show in town since Farsight lost the right to the Williams tables. Some tables are free to try if you are curious.

Yeah I’ve used those two in other platforms I hate having to rebuy the same tables every new device

 

[LeoA]

Zaccaria Pinball is another good pinball sim.

While relatively unknown here in the US thanks to I imagine the company's European roots, they were the 3rd biggest pinball manufacturer in the late 70's and early 80's. Only Bally and Williams were selling more tables at that time. That means they were bigger than Stern and Gottlieb even were, two classic brands in American pinball.

Some pinball aficionados say the physics in this one are the best of the bunch, although the table designs aren't as interesting to American pinball fans.

I know nothing about this, and I'm a huge solid state Pinball fanatic. Thanks for the info. I will have to check it out!

Anyone preordering Super Mario 3D All-Stars? It's already the 2nd best selling game of 2020 on Amazon, and it's not even out yet.

I don't own a Switch, but with the news of this one being a limited time release, I preordered. I wouldn't want to miss out on this one or have to pay a premium in the secondary marketplace to buy a copy later on.

A friend pre-ordered this for me.

I'm not sure I even care at all. To be honest "Sunshine" was one of the biggest letdowns of any video game, I tried "Galaxy" years ago, and again it did nothing for me.

"Super Mario 64" would look just as good, or better on my pro grade CRT with S-Video, so the HD upgrade isn't a big deal to me.

Sorry, I don't want to be negative. Just how I feel about the compilation.
If you are a fan of the titles, and want to see them in HD, this is beyond a great deal.

 

[LeoA]

We all have different tastes.

I love 2D and 3D Mario platformers though, so I naturally want this compilation. My only issue past it being limited is that I wish it included Super Mario Galaxy 2 and Super Mario 3D Land so that when Super Mario 3D World + hits late this coming winter, every 3D Mario platformer would be playable on Switch.

I just finished replaying Super Mario 3D Land as Luigi last week (Necessary to unlock a secret final level) and would love to revisit it in HD on my tv down the road. Would need very little adjustments for 2D displays beyond upping the rendering resolution. Only a few single screen bonus rooms like one pictured below relied on the 3D capabilities of the 3DS to create optical illusions, which would have to be adjusted for televisions (Although I got through in 2D).

 

[Bryan^H]

I am unfairly over-critical on Mario games. I admit it.
I'm not sure why, it could be the original Super Mario Brothers, and Mario 64 were such high points of video game life, that it takes an awful lot of brilliance to match up to these experiences. Maybe nostalgia/rose colored glasses syndrome. I can't say.

 

[DaveF]

I don’t know anything about this game. Off to find links.
