Yeah Virtua Racing on Switch kinda makes me want to see an HD port of Interstate '76
I thought if was because the parts are made by factory workers getting paid pennies to the hour.
Switch is likely made under similar conditions, if not the very same factory.
phones have better specs because they have the very okay combination of being sold as luxury items while also on a annual introduction/obsolescence cycle
consoles get to kick around for far longer product cycles and are privy to a lot of the stupid shit in other tech sectors, and even then, asking everyone to up and give most everything up and start over again every 5-7 years is kind of bullshit compared to the relative stability of a lot of consumer products
so, it’s greed. we’re greedy, they’re greedy, everyone greedy.

This video is kinda long, but it explains the battle system. The comboing of synch attacks looks satisfying, but I’ve never played any of these Platinum games so I dunno.

it looks cool it might be fun I am just tired of over post processed visuals and the aesthetic is so generic?? idk. I’ll probably get bored and download it when it’s on sale or something

Yeah I think it looks interesting, but I won’t be picking it up any time soon.
I have reached the level in Mario Tennis where playing just pisses me off. The trick shot mechanic when used by really good players is fucking maddening, I have no idea how to end points anymore since they can just dink back literally everything. then if I can get ahead, they pull out Zone shot serves which are absurdly hard to defend. i guess this is what people mean when they call it a fighting game.

Is it known whether a Switch Lite can work as just another controller for a Switch if you want it to?
Like, you could play 2-player games with it on a docked Switch? And there’s probably not even anything on your screen?
Pretty sure it doesn’t work as a separate controller, but you could probably use it for two player games where each player uses their own screen
I mean, that makes sense but it seems disappointing to me, since a lot of games don’t have second system support?
But this is also me, the person who’s spent 8 years grousing about how the 3DS was never tapped to be a secondary controller and/or screen for the Wii or Wii U.
I’d be shocked if nintendo let you use it as a second controller
but afaik no information about that has been released either way
My understanding is that the video transmission for the WiiU screen was especially bandwidth heavy, using something like the ultra-short-range/high-bandwidth 60hz WiFi spec, 802.11ad, so it’d need to be a substantial piece of hardware in a 3DS to make it work with the WiiU.
The doable version is through normal networking, which was good enough for Sony’s Vita and now it’s just a standard feature on the Xbox and PS4. However, it can be tricky to set up and very easy to get a very poor experience; Nintendo seems characterologically set against opening up freedom that allows for things to slip below their quality bar.

Yeah, that all makes sense. Primarily I wanted to be able to use them as controllers. Because I’m a wide-eyed idealist sometimes.
