    Nintendo Switch Tech Speculation discussion

    They mentioned dev kits were running on X1, and several other sources have also mentioned this. They also speculate that Pascal could be the reason as to why the NX/Switch was headed for a March 2017 schedule. The only thing confirmed so far have been dev kits.

    Wii U hardware discussion and investigation *rename

    Doesn't the 3DS even have dedicated VRAM and a second CPU locked out (recently unlocked with newer devkits)? I wouldn't exactly call them using poor components (otherwise why would they go out of their way to stick "exotic" stuff like 1T-SRAM?) but some of their design choices are...unique to...

    Kid Icarus Uprising

    To only point out the stand and the controls as the defining feature of the game would be faulty logic. Also to say the game's control scheme is "disastrous" would be wrong: it works wonderfully once it clicks. Too many people are just used to dual-analog controls, and the game requires you to...

    Kid Icarus Uprising

    I find a lot of these complaints kind of unfouned having finished the game myself. I never used the stand as I actually found it uncomfortable to play with it so I simply rest my right hand palms on the corner. Also there is an options menu which allows you to tweak the sensitivity and cursor...

    Kid Icarus Uprising

    Has anybody else hear played it? There have been mostly positive reviews, but all I've heard from critics are people complaining about an unfamiliar control scheme which really isn't a problem. The game itself is pretty great with some really nice variety and a rather surprising story. It's...

    Just how will they mimic that 1T-SRAM?

    Resident Evil Revelations is pretty impressive ... mostly

    I never encountered the deadzone problem you speak of. I like how they use narrow corridors to compensate for this fact. It gets thrilling when a certain reoccuring boss starts to stalk you...

    Resident Evil Revelations is pretty impressive ... mostly

    Did you set the Aiming Speed to "Fast"? I did with mine the moment I first tried to aim and felt the default was slow. Now it's perfect, especially with the gyro aiming.

    Resident Evil Revelations is pretty impressive ... mostly

    I don't know if you're trolling or not, because Resident Evil Revelations is fine on the system as it is. Anything else is just port-begging. Certainly there are some areas of slowdown (mostly loading areas like elevators), but I do not understand where you are coming from with the "sluggish"...

    Fact: Nintendo to release HD console + controllers with built-in screen late 2012

    Dev kits came with 2GB, was it? But most kits half was probably used for debugging. And those were the old kits, too.

    skyward sword could've been done with a standard controller

    Having finished Skyward Sword, while it's not perfect, I don't think something like this could've been done with standard controls. Here are a couple of reasons: -The game requires your mastery of specific swinging. This is most apparent with the first boss, and other subsequent bosses onward...

    Nintendo 3DS business/general talk *spin-off feat. 3DS as a P.I. in New Orleans

    I just got it. It's pretty killer, surprisingly. (Starts out deceptively simple yet addictive, then you get to a certain point and it's all out hardcore platforming.) Not only best use of 3D, but best execution of 3D (since camera stays relatively focused on Mario). Mario Kart 7 is sure to sell...
