Nintendo Switch (Currently Plagued) - Here we shit post about the new Nintendo console, The Switch

I've gotten the Batman Arkham Collection off a sale from the Japanese eshop, for the equivalent of 20 bucks.
Which is a fairer price for just Asylum and City (both titles that I'm a bit nostalgic about, and I appreciate they aren't the Unreal Engine 4 remasters back on PS4) while Knight is that one unfamous broken port. It's gonna keep me busy for a bit before EDF World Brothers 2 comes out on Switch next week.

I know you're being optimistic, but has there ever been a case where any company has fixed a translation due to backlash?

Samurai Maiden from D3 Publisher was a recent case to my knowledge where the English translation was fixed in a patch update.
But examples like this and Gunvolt above are from niche franchises so the fan complaints could easily be heard.

So I hate how there's a size limit on how many games you can add to your wish list on the eShop. The max seems to be 398.... not even a full 400. Why isn't it unlimited?

do you have any dlc on your wishlist? don't you get a lot of sales spam emails with you being notified whenever one of those games go on sale?

You can't even purchase multiple items at once so you'd have to clear a whole weekend to buy all that. Have you tried dekudeals for wishlisting, it is quite a bit better.

  1. I have a few bundles on the wishlist that include DLC
  2. That's only if you follow a channel. When you buy a game, you automatically are followed to that game's channel (if it even has one, which some games don't, and sometimes it's just the publisher/developer's channel and not the game itself). But you can also search and find them manually in the news section. There's like 3 channels on the switch you are followed by default when you buy the Switch. You can remove them, but I keep the Nintendo News one on so it alerts me for whats new on the eShop and the sales that are active on that same week. Besides, the majority of the news channels have like 1 or 2 posts from years ago, so they aren't as active as the Nintendo one is. In fact last time i got any news outside of Nintendo was for the DLC update for Bloodstained Ritual Of The Night
Still, that shouldn't have anything to do with the wishlist.

I occasionally get emails like "this and this on your wishlist is on sale!"
I guess they disable that if your wishlist is big enough

Don’t pin this on fanboys, It’s much more likely someone trying to sabotage Nintendo’s reputation. Or some anti-emulation sperg who thinks roms bring down the value of their physical collection.

Speaking of which, Sakurai posted a video about his game/console collection that’s so massive and organized that it would easily put anyone on this site to shame.
On one hand, it’s crazy impressive and you can tell this guy has a deep passion for games. On the other hand, so much of this would be made redundant by just emulating.

I’m phoneposting right now, but pretend the top panel is Sakurai’s collection and the bottom panel is emulator chads.

Haha, I see an American SNES tucked away back there. Secret importer...

Nintendo Announces Acquisition Of Shiver Entertainment​

this is actually not as unprecedented as you'd might think - the co-founder, John Schappert, apparently held Iwata in high regard.

Well, this came out of nowhere. Not something I had in my bingo card. While I felt that Nintendo should start acquiring parts of Embracer, Shiver wasn't exactly what I had in mind.

whatever I feel like said:
So much for the remaining parts of Embracer being "not for sale." Lars' words are as worthwhile as his purchase of Asmodee.

Shiver is actually one of the studios that Embracer held over from the sale of Saber Interactive. Looks like they weren't actually all that interested in keeping it.

I finished Batman Arkham Asylum on Switch which was an alright port, with the occasional stutters during exploration or game-over screens.
Arkham City is running flawlessly on the other hand as far as I've seen.



Despite the presence of the PhysX logo in the credits and running on a Nvidia-chip hardware, there are no added physic props for both games sadly. A bit disappointing as the tech does add a bunch of cool atmospheric effects, such as the interactive fog and trash paper loitering around, but it could be more taxing on the GPU than I remember. Said fancy tech also gets me far more on board than this ray-tracing thing.

That’s an interesting choice. Weren’t the Mortal Kombat ports infamously bad? Also:
Going forward, even after it becomes a part of the Nintendo group, Shiver’s focus will remain the same, continuing commissions that port and develop software for multiple platforms including Nintendo Switch.

Does that just mean Switch 2, or will a Nintendo-owned company port games to non-Nintendo platforms?

MK11 was decent. MK1 was bad, but apparently it was a rush job and the game was next gen only, so more compromises had to be made. I think they managed to get it into a playable state after a few patches.

Hogwarts legacy was pretty good apparently.

I bet they mean switch and switch 2. They probably want to do cross gen games like everyone else. Or maybe they’re porting more games to Nvidia Shield. Who knows.
 
But we want to focus on Vivian, a fan-favourite and member of the Three Shadows who eventually joins Mario. We adored her in the original, and she’s just as great here, with fantastic battle prowess and a heartwarming story arc, made all the better by the updated localisation. In Japanese and several other languages, Vivian was always a transgender woman, but in the original English script, this was omitted. Now, in English, Vivian talks about accepting her true identity – specifically, her gender. It’s just one or two scenes, but it’s a pivotal moment that should have always been there, and we’re glad it was 'restored' for the Switch version.

To quote Jontron: "I'm supposed to be massively upset right now, but more or less, I think I've just gone fully numb."
