Gaming Smack My Switch Up: The Nintendo Switch Discussion Thread (was: NX)

Has anyone shipped a joy-con to Nintendo for repair? I'd love to hear your experience and what it cost you.

 

Nope. I used them initially from December 2020 until March 2021, before getting a Pro Controller. I was using it for the Krypt in MK11 from April of that year until about August. Now I mostly use the Controller.

It was free and pretty fast.

 

Identical for me. And it was during covid. Maybe 7 business day turn around, zero cost.

You wont have to pay anything, they know the joycons are ******.

 

And numerous people too young to know the Oddjob rule for multiplayer.

 

Metroid Prime Remastered! New controls + original. Digital version available now!

Hmm, depending on price and reviews could go for that. MP wasn't the easiest of games but the world design was amazing.

Edit - Baten Kaitos 1-2 remaster! Well, that's another blast from the past due Summer 2023.

 

Are they gonna have the whole MP trilogy remastered by the time we get any more news on MP4?

GBA games on the Switch Online + Expansion membership may get me to finally bite on that. It’s nice that those Super Mario Bros. 3 eReader levels aren’t locked on the Wii U anymore.

 

God damn, I haven't touched my Switch in over a year.

 

Saaame..and I do want to for Engage. I just am too distracted with other things.

 

Watching GameSpot's graphics comparison for Metroid Prime and it looks very nice. But it's also that soundtrack and how well it combines with the visuals. Creepy, atmospheric, action - it nails all of it.

 

Just posted a video to the actual Metroid thread but the remaster is coming out very well.

I'll certainly be ordering it after work

It's out digitally now. I saw people on Twitch streaming it about 30 minutes after yesterday's Direct. It looks good and I hear the non motion controls are good. I don't see myself paying $40 for it. Maybe I'll get it someday. It's a really fun game.

I bet we'll get remasters of 2 & 3 before we get any Prime 4 news.

 

It's already downloading in my switch.

I love the game but tried the GameCube version a few months back and it's pretty much impossible to play now as we're so conditioned to the strafe/look/walk dull analogue set up now.
I died so many times before I even landed on the planet because I couldn't move properly.




I suggest we also ask for a remaster of Eternal Darkness. I know it was a different developer that's now gone busy, but I still think Nintendo should do it

Gone Mobile

 

If you want to **** your head up, Eternal Darkness will do it.

Not sure remasters are possible on games developed by companies that no longer exist. I mean I'd love a remaster of Rogue Leader but it's probably never happening.

 

Eternal Darkness is a stone cold classic. Loved it. I would definitely play a remaster.

 

I’m a Nintendo semi-fanboy, so it pains me to have to say this, but does anybody else get a really, really creepy vibe from Super Nintendo World? It gives new meaning to the term uncanny valley. I can’t quite put my finger on it, but I think it has something to do with how simultaneously alive and yet plastic it is.

 

Looks like were getting Xbox games on Switch for next 10 years. Im assuming through cloud streaming only because, you know, Switch.

Pretty nice though. I expect gamepass to be announced as an app for it within the year.

 

Can't see Nintendo going for GamePass when they have Nintendo Online, but they'll take COD. It'll run and play like crap but that's COD.

 

With the addition of Kirby’s Dream Land 2 that Switch Game Boy catalog is just one Donkey Kong away from being exquisite. I’ve complained about their other classic system choices, but no notes on the old travel brick. That one is borderline artisanal.

 

I want more Zelda games on the Switch now pls
