hello
>>172461148
Hopefully never.
Is anyone actually excited for the Radiant Historia remake? It doesn't feel like it's been that long since I originally played it so I don't plan on buying a remake. At least more people will get to play it now.
GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER /ninty/
Do you guys have a .PNG guide with DS recs like the 3ds one? I just got an R4 and I want some recommendations
Also pls recommend me DS games.

What kind of games are you into?
where the hell is the recommended 3DS games pic?
update I did a few weeks ago, I have to update it again though because Atlus announced like 3 different games in one day
>>172474037
soon
>Best games on the Switch are decades old Neo Geo games.
SNK does what Nintenisunabletodo.
>>172466969
This one is better.
Is Shovel Knight playable with the Joycons, or do I need to buy a Pro Controller? I want to purchase the game in the eShop but I don't have a Pro Controller. Do I need one?
>>172483236
>Is Shovel Knight playable with the Joycons
yes, the game can technically be played with an NES controller too
>>172478252
did they ever fix the engrish
>>172488345
That will never get fixed.
Havent paid attention to anything Ninendo in a while but Monster Hunter has reeled me back in. How long do you think the N3DS will continue to be supported? Will the Switch totally murder it?
>>172488828
a year probably, Switch is supposed to replace it eventually
>>172488828
you're gonna get your pikmin sidescroller and then you'll get MH on switch
Are we ever going to be able to play OoT on the switch or should i just get in on 3ds?
>>172492596
>>172493112
Cool. Just picked up a N3DS for MH but then realized I bought a dying console
>>172460861
>Tags
How about adding switch tag (maybe /swg/?) as well, and post upcoming Switch releases.
>>172493804
Yeah that was a really old backup of the OP, the newer one had Switch instead of Wii U games.
>>172493513
dying consoles are great 90% of the time because they have a rich library and are generally easy to play games for free on. 3DS is not an exception.
contrast that with buying a Switch now, you get 1 game now, 1 in 3 months, and 1 more in 7.
what are the best cases for the switch? Feel like i should get one instead of just tossing it in a bag but most seem bulkier than they need to be

>An initial 13GB install is required to play Lego City on Switch: http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2017/03/lego_city_undercover_box_reveals_a_mandatory_13gb_install
This has already been debunked anon, you can remove it from the OP.
>>172460861
Unless we're going to play Mario Kart 8 and need some VOIP, I don't see the point of a discord yet
Also, miiverse on Switch when?
>>172494032
Is the Switch really the end all be all portable system Nintendo thinks and hopes it is? Or do you think we'll get a really DS/3DS successor in the future?
>>172503764
It could go both ways. Compared to any handheld system that Nintendo has produced in the past, switch is nowhere near as portable. But their philosophy (stated a bit before Iwata died iirc) was that they wanted to condense their products into one line.
I don't want to buy two nintendo consoles just to play games, but I won't deny that your typical 10 year old can't fit a switch into his pocket to take with him at all times. He needs a backpack, and he needs a charger too, and that's not trivial.
>>172503764
>Is the Switch really the end all be all portable system Nintendo thinks and hopes it is?
It has the potential. If their customers and 3rd party devs see Switch as a viable handheld device, then it might become the successor to the 3DS.
Have a nice rest /nintyg/...
What's the chances they announce like a special edition Switch with special colors
They usually go nuts with that shit for handhelds, but console I dunno
pls don't die /nintyg/
pls die /nintyg/
>>172493263
I'm sure we'll get it on Switch in some form eventually, but why wait? 3DS version is fine.
why has nobody fixed Mario Maker 3DS yet?
>>172510205
Who knows with the actual Switch, but I'm sure we'll be getting joycons in every color.
>tfw vitagen is shit
>>172478252
I thought Fast Racing RMX was going to be the game I played as a secondary to Zelda but Neo Turf Masters really is as good an arcade golf game as it is made out to be and I'm a bit hooked on that now. I got Dad playing on two-player mode via table-top and it was pretty sick.
Tempted to pick up some of the other NeoGeo ports as it's been over a decade since I played through the Metal Slugs on Xbox HUEG w/ FBA but we'll see.
>>172493513
Don't get caught up in the obsession to be current - the 3DS has so much greatstuff to play and even if you don't hack you can get a lot of games for cheap.
I'll still be playing 3DS games I haven't played through (and probably fucking Super Hang-On or Outrun again) until Splatoon 2 comes out or I cave like a faggot and get MK8 again because lolportable.
>>172525825
I just bought Neo Turf Masters then.
So far I've got King of Fighters '98, Waku Waku 7 and Metal Slug 3.
Neo Geo games are the perfect fit for a console whose main gimmick includes "Split the controller in half and play local co-op and local multiplayer with your friends, partners or family".
>>172518287
How would you fix that

RE IN CAR NA TION
>>172460861
Any news on hardware revision? I don't want to get a Switch until at LEAST the melting and the dock-scratching are ironed-out.
>>172571417
No.
Don't think I'm getting it until Pokemon, I don't think Mario will be enough for me to get it.
>>172574243
The new Mario has me excited enough to want the system, I just don't want to have hardware that's liable to fuck itself and not be reliable even just as a Mario Box in the long term.
>>172564050
>tfw you don't wanna unplug your WiiU cause it's a pretty good netflix/webbrowser device but you have a Switch dock to plug in
Anyone else having problems with the speakers?
My speakers are making static sounds when playing high pitched sounds when the volume is turned all the way up.
Most notably the high pitched jingle when opening up the map in BOTW.
>>172571417
Why do so many idiots think a hardware revision are happening in a year? The dock thing is literally just if your dock got bent from shipping / heat mishap before it got to you and so it's curved too far in and scratches. Not hard to stretch back out if done carefully. Honestly just don't get one if you expect some major revisions soon.
>>172577353
Seriously, the amount of people who think a defective unit is a design flaw is shockingly high.
I guess all PS3s get the yellow light of death? No way it's only 5%... oh wait is it only 5%
>>172577353
We're not looking at "here's the New Switch Lite, a new design to fuck you all with", it'd be "we cut out a shitty manufacturer for this run, look for models with 1.01 on them".
Will we ever see link between worlds on the switch in some form?
>>172579175
Why would we? It's a 3DS game.
Anybody hyped for ARMS?
Does the Switch support download play?
I think no current game uses it, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's not a feature.
why are you dying ninty?
where is my wife gor?
Do you have a case for your switch? If so which do you use?
>>172472591
sorry for the late response, tactics and rpg
>>172577720
>>172571417
Just get one and toss a glass screen protector on it (which you should be doing anyways for a handheld with a plastic screen) and youre fine.
>>172582162
Me. I'm ready for constant updates on it like Splatoon got. It should really get a worldbuilding tumblr/twitter too.
>>172571417
melting is fake
get a screen protector like literally any human being
>>172583469
maybe in the future, there's no reason for it not to support it, but we'd have to ask for that feature I guess?
I've been looking for somewhere to discuss this and... Do you guys think pokemon shuffle will come to switch? It can probably easily be sent over since it's also on ios/android. It'd also be something free to pad the system out with. I haven't played it on 3ds in forever, but i'd probably pick it up again on switch.
>>172596734
>no reason not to support it
If Nintendo were dicks, they could remove it with the intention of selling more Mario Karts
But I really like the download play feature so hopefully it's still there
>>172590626
I have the Sheikah slate one that came with my BotW bundle.
>>172597462
i meant from a technical standpoint sorry
>>172604823
I can see it becoming a nuisance.
Back in the DS days, you're probably sending megabytes of data
Now? Starting a single racetrack in MK8 would probably send hundreds of MB, for the racetrack alone.
I don't know how fast Switch wireless connectivity is between Switch's, but I can see this being a problem
The BotW 1.1.1 update really improves performance a ton, it's a shame it wasn't like this on release. It doesn't remove all the drops, but it's way better than it was.
>>172605220
hundreds of MB isn't a lot of data for wireless local area connections, especially in a time when 30 second loading screens are very common on consoles.
Loading a track in MK8 (I had digital) takes so long that the data could be loaded concurrently with no difference over download play. Although, I do have to assume that Switch cart loading is at least marginally faster than the download version or a Wii U disc.
>>172606092
I could also see them saying "We gave you split screen, be happy dammit"
Really, we'll see in a month if there's download play or not, no point in assuming it does or does not if it's such a short wait
>>172606363
well, we know VC is in the works and it sort of follows that it will be included for the more common older games, but you're right. it's still up in the air
>>172591013
I'd say play Radiant Historia but you probably want to play the new one.
If I get a powersaves amiibo thing, do I need any actual amiibos, or can that be used as them?
>>172610140
it can be used as them. you can get a complete set at 3dsiso
>>172611318
Sweet, thanks.
are there any worthwhile game on the international eshops?
>Last year, purchase Strange Journey new because I felt like it
>fast forward to now, Deep Strange Journey gets announced
>I haven't even taken SJ out of its wrapping
I'm not sure how I should feel about this
OK, so I have a 3DSXL and just got a N3DS(which has the 4gb MicroSD it came with in it), my XL has a 32gb card and I have a new 32 MicroSD for the N3DS, how do I transfer this shit without losing everything?
I stopped buying Nintendo consoles after the game cube and GBA
When did nintendo start selling DLC in handhelds?
>>172591013
The DS has an absolute fuckton of these kinds of games. Check out the /v/ recommendation wiki, the DS page there has a good amount of them.
>>172614747
March 2012
>>172614930
actually, April
>>172614930
So Nintendo DS doesnt have this?
They started doing DLC with the 3DS?
>>172615064
Correct. The 3DS and Wii U are the only Nintendo systems that have DLC.
>>172615198
You forgot the Switch
>>172615198
Thank you for the info
Wii games are sold as complete games?, no updates shit like is done nowadays ?
Treehouse a cute!
>>172616449
yes
Anyone know how long I should wait to play the switch after putting a tempered glass protector on? 24 hours or closer to 48?
>tfw no senran for switch
>>172460861
question, why is the dock required for the switch to connect to the TV
is there a possibility of having an adapter to plug the switch into the tv without the dock in the future?
I really want a switch for its portability, but if you have to lug that piece of plastic everywhere you go its kind of a deal breaker for me
>>172622848
You could get someone to 3D print this and throw the internals in one.
http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2194776
But Nintendo will probably come out with a travel dock. There's internals in there that are necessary to give full power + split off the hdmi.
>>172622848
when the switch goes into the dock, it detects that its docked and goes into overclock mode, boosting the power.
This also means higher heat, so the dock is necessary for the built in fans that it has.
Even when I turn off my switch and then put it into the dock to charge it will randomly flip my tv over to the hdmi channel the switch is on. And I don't just mean when I initially put it in the dock, I mean I will put it in the dock, switch to a hdmi connection the Switch isn't on then then randomly hours later it will go back to the Switch and sometimes repeatedly change to it when I try to change it back.
How the fuck do I stop this?
Seems like putting the switch in the dock turns it on and puts it in sleep mode instead of just charging while off.

April fools!
Does Metal Slug on the Switch always have to be online? Thinking about buying it but there was an article that said it had to be online to be able to play it.
>>172657465
Not him, but can anyone tell if there's anything special about the ACA Series of games?
Are they just straight 1:1 emulation, or do they offer anything special like online leaderboards?
>>172636786
>PLAYAN
Breath of the Wild (Neo Turf Masters on the side). Technically still have an OoT 3D playthrough going on too but I didn't finish that before BotW came out because wagecuck.
>WATCHAN

Tetley and Lipton's Lemon & Ginger Teas are the perfect non-alcoholic Zelda playthrough beverage of choice. 11/10 bought teabags in bulk.
>FAPPAN
Surprisingly not to Emma Watson.
>>172657718
Online leaderboards - no netplay. Straight 1:1 ports with options to switch regions or play on "caravan mode".
Unfortunately no option to switch into AES mode so no practice mode yet for things like KoF98.
Reminder to log into My Nintendo and spend any expiring points since it's the last day of the month.
>>172663492
Do gold coins expire?
I don't see it in my expire listReminder you can check your expiring coins
>>172633315
>built in fans
You mean the 5 small holes above the ac adapter? I don't see how that keeps the console itself cooler
>>172664591
Yeah 30 of my coins expire in a few months,
>>172665863
The guy you quoted claims the dock itself has fans, which is not true.
The Switch only goes in OC mode (and not-underclocked) because the battery would die ridiculously fast if it was at that clock speed
I don't think the dock was designed for portability at all, even though it is unnecessariyl large. I think Nintendo just expect if you were to go to your friends house with your Switch, they would already have a dock or something, or just play in tabletop mode.
>>172666769
Do you know how long you've had them?
I'm asking because I'm wondering if I should get worthless Zelda guide, or save it for something just as worthless later.
>>172667326
From chat logs, they expire after either 10 months or 1 year.
>>172668069
Thanks.
I'll probably get the miniguide since it's only 10 gold coins and i don't want coupons for digital games
>>172668270
Wait nevermind, it's a fucking PDF
My Nintendo sucks
>>172668436
they have literally nothing of worth available on my nintendo, don't even bother
>could not perform DSN name resolution
>other devices connect fine
urge to kill... rising
>>172669185
I bet if Club Nintendo was still around, they'd let us get amiibos with gold coins or something
>>172669259
Turn off your Switch. Not sleep mode, turn it off. There's a button on top of the Switch, hold it down.
It'll fix it. Very weird problem happened to everyone I think
>>172669259
nvm, fixed it :)
>>172657465
Only for online leaderboards.
>>172657718
Emulated versions of the arcade versions, high-score modes (how high can you score on a single credit and how high can your score in five minutes) and a decent amount of options for the emulation (screen size, scanline filters, control remapping etc.)
Better than Nintendo's Virtual Console, worse than the Sega 3D Classics.
I'd say they're worth it if your interested in the games, especially if you know you'll have someone to play local multiplater/co-op with.
>>172671276
For the most part, that sounds good.
I'm asking cause I have the DotEmu versions on Steam and Metal Slug 1 in particular has really bad framedrops for no good reason.
Wouldn't mind some of Hamster's games on PC like Darius, but this isn't the right thread at all for that discussion.I'd consider buying a physical ACA Collection of SNK games
>haven't used my Switch in three days
>it hasn't charged past 96% in that time
Is there a soundtrack download for Snipperclips anywhere on the internet? I can't find anything but the menu theme.
>>172671676
Metal Slug 3 appears to have more framerate issues than the original release so that's something you definitely need to be aware of.
Metal Slug might also have that as well but I haven't bought that one yet.
It's especially noticable in the first boss fight and any time there's lots of explosions on screen.
>>172672261
Guess I'd have to see both side-by-side
It also could be "arcade-accurate", like the arcade itself had FPS drops
but Metal Slug 1 was a bit much, and DotEmu always had a horrible reputation
>>172672412
See, I thought it might be "arcade accurate" but I did some comparisons with footage of the game running on the arcade hardware but I'm noticing slowdown in the Switch that isn't there on the arcade version.
It's not the most accurate test though. Until someone does a side-by-side comparison with the original hardware, I'm not completely sure.
>>172672989
Well that's interesting DotEmu and Hamster don't have it perfected
Is it bad on PS4 too?
So any way I can spoof an amiibo with just an android device or do I have to get one of those powersaves things.
>>172674585
You can't do it with just an android phone. Get a powersave with a powertag, I got it for about $15.
>>172677049
15 dollars? Holy shit dude mine costed like 25. How did you spend so little?
>>172677265
>>172677049
>>172674585
What's even the point? As far as I know, amiibos don't offer anything cool in-game anyways
>>172677445
Breath of the wild man, some good shit in those amiibos
All this amiibo talk, I totally forgot there's a free2play MariovsDK game on WiiU with amiibo support, right?
I should go play that before i unplug my WiiU forever
>>172669276
In Australia we would have just have had an amiibo branded pencil case that includes exactly zero pencils.
