Nintendo General - Full of Crossovers, Cross-Platform Play, and Crossed Fans - Games

I would buy a reverse crossover with Mario characters with Rayman and friends in the Glade of Dreams vs the Robo-Pirates in the same XCOM style in a heartbeat.

The Creed of Zelda

I really want to play pokemon and smash 4 again. I sold my 3ds years ago. I have a switch now would I be a dumb ass if I went and bought a 2ds xl, smash 4 and one of the sun&moon games?

Personally I'd hold off on it if those are really the only ones you want to play. The 3DS has a great library, but Smash Ultimate is shaping up to be literally be Smash 4 but better and since you already have a Switch you can get that one either way. As for Pokemon, it really depends if you want to play Sun & Moon specifically or just any of the 3DS ones, since I enjoyed all of them quite a bit but Sun & Moon have some issues that make me not want to replay them. Really comes down to personal preference really, since there's mainline Pokemon games coming to the Switch as well somewhere next year.

God why are they so persistent on using that stupid phone app. Just give us the basic features that the ORIGINAL Xbox had back in 2001 if you expect us to pay for a service.

what's the problem there

Looks like the NES games might require a constant online connection.

There's potential that it's what happens when you lose your subscription, similar to how you lose PS+ games when that rub runs out. But that's just wishful thinking, it's totally possible they'll require online, and we just have to cause a big enough stink for potential to change it. That's how we got the games to be permanent, after all.

it's probably just for the games catalog

I am not so sure this works. Cause if Nintendo listened to us they wouldn't be forcing us to use an app for basic online features.

The Switch actually can run voice chat. It's an undocumented feature in Splatoon 2 and is restricted to LAN play. It's been there for at least a year. I'm sure use of the app is more so Nintendo can get an app on your phone, and it's also a barrier to entry so little kids playing Splatoon don't hear "fag" eighty times a day playing Turf War. Make your feature so difficult to use that nobody will abuse it. Legendary Nintendo wisdom, here.

Nintendo has never and will never listen to its audience. They think we're below them.

Also Fornite has voice chat through the 3.5mm jack.

I believe they explicitly mentioned "fan feedback" as got why we get to keep the free games every month rather than having them swapped out, so there is precedent for this The use of a phone app has to have some background reason for why they haven't switched off of it: the "child protector" theory from the above post, any backup processing power of the switch being kept free, not wanting to interrupt the call as you switch from console to handheld, or simply "we made this, we need to use it, no matter the cost". I hope one day soon we figure out the reason why.

They are offloading extra battery consumption onto your phone instead of onto the Switch

Are we sure it's for that and not just subscription/streamed games like that Resident Evil one in Japan that needs the constant connection?

I think this was already posted, but yeah - to recap - it's by the same developers of Marble Blast Gold/Ultra. It's definitely on my radar.

PAYDAY 2 on the Nintendo Switch also has voice-chat, across all platforms (but for reasons behind me not in VR). And then players need to get themselves an app for that, but it doesn't exist? I bet Nintendo NEVER SAW *THAT* COMING! Also, what if someone writes to them that they don't own a smartphone but still wants to use the voice-chat feature? The Parental Controls exist for that purpose, which the person is naturally incapable of getting should they decide not to use any Android emulators like MEmu.

So, regarding that Nintendo online thing. Ya'll think they might include some SNES games in the future? Or perhaps games from other old systems?

I have a hunch they're going to halfass it just like they did with the VC for the Wii U.

Since it didn't really seem like there was a better place to post this, I guess I'd ask here, but, for Gamecube and Wii, is there any particular HDMI adapter you guys recommend? I'd picked one up recently for $19 and it was a total bust, thing broke literally after less than five minutes of use, and the picture quality while it did work was shit anyways. Looked like it was smeared in Vaseline. So is there any brand/kind you guys use and recommend over others?

Its unlikely but I want the MBU theme to be int he game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-71bPX1cH8o

When it comes to any sort of adapter or cable for picture quality you should never trust the cheap options, however if you want the absolute best HDMI for GameCube or Wii it'll set you back at least 100+. Theres the Eon GCHD HDMI adapter for Gamecube which is good (you'll need to check your GameCube for a digital out port), or you can buy Wii Component cables and hook the Wii up to a RetroTINK-2X.

will voice chat really use that much battery?

Yeah I get that I mean you could always do component to HDMI on your Wii.

I'm super late to the ACNL scene, but I found out that there's a thing called the trade board where you can ask people if they have any furniture that you can buy from them. Does anyone know how that works?
