So for whoever is doing the family plan, is the 35€ billed to the main account only or is there an option for the money to be paid individually by each member? A friend of mine will eventually get it for Smash and had the question, because everyone paying him their part of the deal on hand yearly would be a bit awkward
Wow, I just tested out the NES Collection.
This is fucking putrid.
How the fuck is Super Mario Bros. 2 or Castlevania not even on here? Way to pad out the collection with sports games.
Also the fact that it's fucking up people's screens is beyond unacceptable.
This whole online fiasco is almost worse than anything I'd seen from Nintendo's series of blunders during the early Wii U era, and it's fucking boggling my brain.
Also, something I don't see mentioned that I find insulting as fuck, is that there's no digital manuals for ANY of the games.
How the fuck is a kid playing the original Zelda for the first time going to know what to do at ALL without a manual?
I agree but kids don't look up manuels these days, hell they probably don't even know they exist. Everyone uses YouTube or a guide
inform yourself before you shit on it, its not fucking up people's screens or causing burn-in, its just a bug which can be fixed by playing literally any other game - will probably be fixed soon
it sucks ass and its honestly an enermous joke/pathetic but dont spread misinfo
The best part about this whole ordeal is when you read other discussion about it outside of facepunch.
People are literally happy that they are throwing away a 20$ bill in the fire and will defend it. If you disagree with them? You are labelled as poor or as a kid whose mom is buying everything for.
The best reply I ever saw was "I wish the service was 40$ so the kids would cry more." and "I would throw 20$ in the fire in front of you just to spite you".
This kinda of thing is really jarring and creepy to so some extent.
That's the crowd that really irks me. They go ahead and subscribe to this crappy service because "it's only 20 dollars a year" when it was priced like that deliberately to set the expectations low to none. This is exactly what nintendo wants to happen. They know they're delivering a sub-par service and the ones defending it coz only 20 dollars are being played like a damn fiddle.
I'm probably a freak but the lack of digital manuals is bugging me the absolute most.
Good fucking luck to any 8 year olds trying out Zelda 1 for the first time, or fuck, even the sports games benefit from having something that tells you what the fuck you need to do.
Besides saving paper, the main reason we don't have manuals now is because games got so good at explaining everything within the game itself.
Games back then did not, at all. Plenty of NES era games practically require a quick manual read through for understanding of a lot of mechanics.
Without it a lot of games become frustrating trial and error.
Speaking of, were there any VC games that lacked a booklet?
Ya'll think there's any chance of LoZ twilight princess and windwaker HD being ported to the switch?

Nintendo at it again with their limiting stock practices smh.
“In the meantime, did you know we still sell the 3DS? We have, like, a million of these things. Step right up.”

Does anyone know what adapter I need to use a nes classic controller on PC? I was looking for nes to usb but I don't think the controller plugs are the same in the original nes compared to nes mini.
If you have any official NES controllers, give 8BitDo a try.
I'd really prefer not to make it unusable on the nes classic, which is why I'm wondering if there an adapter.
Your best bet would probably be getting a Wiimote working via adapters and then plugging in your NES Classic controller into the Wiimote.
Something like this:

NES Classic controller only cost $10, it shouldn’t be hard to get now, as I’ve seen plenty of NES and SNES Classic in shelves.
8bitdo also has a adapter that you can plug into the Swith to use any bluetooth controllers.
I don’t recall if it was NintendoLife or SpawnWave but one of then did it on a NES Classic shell, and I don’t there’s any difference aside from some text and cables.
Yo what

I have every faith that the game will be as stable as it is on PC.
I've managed to help convince a coworker to get a switch recently. He's picking it up today and is been hyping up hardcore. He's the only other person I know whose excited about Luigi's Mansion 3.
And just I just say, HOW FUCKING HYPED I AM FOR LUIGI'S MANSION 3 JESUS Im sorry but I've legitimately not been this excited about a game announcement in like 10 years.
We've got Smash, Animal Crossing, and Luigi's Mansion all coming. It's like some beautiful Gamecube part 2 happening.
Now all is left is to wait for a new Paper Mario sequel that goes back to it's roots too.
There's this really out there repo, you wire up shit to you an arduino, but there's no adapter for it, so you're either going to solder wires (don't), or somehow make your own
not only that, but it doesn't actually turn the arduino into a controller either, it's just a SERIAL connection that a application on the desktop looks for, making it very tedious.
Otherwise, it will work

the nes and snes classic both use the wii's classic controller/nunchuk connector, so one of these should work.
MK8D adding back double item boxes makes it a psuedo double dash as well if we're going by gamecube standards.
Here's hope that they will release Risk of Rain 2 for Switch as well.
