Nintendo Switch 2 - For the Soytendo consoomers to speculate about the successor to the Switch, recently announced for 2025.

You bought 2 of them? Why?

As @reptile baht spaniard rid mentioned it was a warranty replacement, the first one had issues playing in docked mode that were too obnoxious to ignore.

The amount of "poverty shaming" that Nintendo fanboys throw around whenever someone criticizes the switch 2 is ridiculous. Also plenty of posts claiming that the LCD screen is better than the oled.

Maybe that'll push 3rd partys like Gullikit to release some sort of cooling modkit for that console.

Nintendo will sue the shit out of them if they try. Not that it's right, but they will.

I can't get myself to touch a Nintendo product again, the stigma nowadays is just too strong. I'd rather look like a jackass in public with a diesel generator hooked up to this than play Mario Kart on my recycled nVidia chip tablet. And... and... you can play 360 games on it! Yeah!

What stigma is that?

Who do you hang out with that gives a single shit what video game console you play outside of a passing joke or snide remark before you guys play and have fun with that same console? I shit on my PlayStation friends and then we play PlayStation. I don't have any Xbox friends I don't associate with faggots.

i will say that nintendo is a god amongst companies as far as support, they've repaired every single joycon the kids have demolished (I'm talking literally snapped in half off the switch) for free, and even an entire switch cheapo version that got bent in half for only $89.

years and years ago, during the height of the Wii craze, I sent in a lamecube and they sent me back one with svideo or component or something that was better than the default and allowed something I forget involving a 55 inch plasma

GameCube nso memory card saves are prone to corruption. I lost all of my f zero gx progress + custom machines. Guess I'm going back to original hardware.

Nah this just means it's the most accurate Gamecube emulator ever made, they even got the Mem Card 2048 being an unstable hack job piece of crap correct

I guess they buried Mad Catz in Pet Semetary.

 

[SSj_Ness (Yiffed)]

Going to throw out a theory, but this whole game is a stepping stone for the inevitable Illumination Donkey Kong film. The whole feel of it comes off as if Nintendo is prepping for a Disney-fixed DK movie.

I can see it happening.

Is there no cloud support for NSO?

I think the point was the saves themselves get corrupted, so it's that corrupted data that gets synched to the cloud service.

Quite funny how they japs are yet again unable to partake in worldwide progression and norms, rather choosing their own little tamagotchi to have its own unique world and thus limited appeal. Unironically, without the chink quirk, Nintendo wouldn't be around anymore.

What are you talking about? Both versions of Switch 2 talk to eachother and act the same, they just don't take each-other's games so that Nintendo can give its home market a price discount.

You joke, but I have a shitty Mad Catz wired micro Xbox 360 controller that I've had for like 15 years that has outlasted 3 official Microsoft controllers and a Turtle Beach controller. The only issue it has is a little stick sag from a decade and a half of use, and it doesn't even drift. I also have some old Mad Catz N64 controllers that, while being abominations design wise, still function perfectly.

I’m not saying that I don’t believe you. But you must be the only person on earth to have not one, but two functional Mad Catz controllers.

That's completely understandable. I just went looking for the Xbox 360 controller and sadly, it's not Mad Catz, just another shitty off brand called PowerA. Still managed to outlast $200 worth of controllers. Please accept an even older PS2 micro controller. Neither has any issues, minus the hand grips on the N64 controller being cursed. Still the least cursed N64 one I own.

PowerA makes pretty good switch controllers imo, certainly better than Nintendo's overpriced joycons

Mad Catz

Mad Catz is fucking legit. Of all the third-party "knockoff" vendors, they consistently churned out top-tier accessories (controllers, adapters, even power/battery replacements). I don't know how good they are these days, but back in those days they were a fine substitute for "genuine" parts.

Hard disagree, back in the PS2 era they were abysmal. They did get better over time but a large part of that is that third party controllers became so disliked that nobody would buy them and they had to retreat to fight sticks and other high-end items.

edit: I'll say this, though, they're better now than Power A is, those officially branded Power A switch controllers are absolutely awful.

 

[残念。]

I liked mad catz on the N64 and GameCube. Never tried a PS2 controller of theirs.
