see? the switch has already lost. so sad nintendo doesn't have it anymore.

But... but.. switch has milk:

It obviously already won!

Seriously tho, we get like.. almost 10 new games this year, and they all look pretty neato, Yoshi wolly world (yeah ok, it's a port but shh), Dragon quest, Mario Sports, Lady layton, etc...
And even if it dies soon, we'll keep the 3DS alive, with our ~shitty~ homebrew apps, hacks and all that fancy stuff.

They did?!

RIP WiiU...

Also im pretty sure nintendo now only sees miiverse as a smelly pile of cringe and drawings (hence the fact that it fortunately wont be on the switch.)

I prob wont get the switch in a while...

Unless someone finds a way around the paid online..

MAYBE for splat2n?
getting around the paid online probably isnt going to be a thing because its most likeley a server side thing. if your account dosent have the membership logged into said server, then it wont let you online.and if we even had remote access to their servers, we could spoof our own eshop cards. even with nintendos shit security, i find this a bit far-fetched.

is that online service similar to PS Plus on the PS4?
We don't know yet. Maybe they'll do something like the ambassador program, (3ds) where you'll get a few games for each past-gen system on VC or maybe the free service (five months) is the ambassador program...maybe a combo of both? I doubt they'll give people free monthly titles, unless they were titles that were re-released multiple times, cough S/NES Mario, coughweezcough; I'm also guessing it won't cost as much, either....unless they have multi-tiers, (bronze, silver, gold, platinum) in which case, it probably would be like PS+.

the switch will be at 400 bucks.

A dollar (as of now) is 21.75 pesos.

Every time something about mexico comes out of trump's mouth,the dollar becomes more expensive,not because the dollar becomes more powerful (Au contraire),the peso just becomes weaker.

So by april,the peso will probably be around 25 pesos.

How do people live in Mexico? I should probably help the world get out of this crisis....right after I beat SMT:IV:A......but that's after I beat DQ VII:FotFP...and a couple others. Lo siento, entienda por favor, Tierra.

i havent checked,but im pretty sure the wii board is still alive.

The Wii U came out in 2012 and nintendo discontinued the Wii for good in 2014...


So,lets say that the 3DS has 4 years planned.

We still have 6 years worth of internet,if they choose to follow the same pattern that they did with the ds and the wii (and lets face it,they probably will)

Well I've got a preordered system and games, I'll be picking up shovel Knight and Mario Kart 8 when they come out. I plan on using it as my main system until I buy a new laptop which could take months to save for.

Ummm, do tell how (assuming you NEED one) you'll drop ~$4-500 in all for Switch but cannot afford a $5-600 laptop??

My thoughts are honestly, what's going to be better about the DS? Battery life on the go, and big maybe on size. All N has to do is sell us some $100 battery bulge and that could well end the DS line if they get proper development going in top gear for the switch.

I'm still on the fence on jumping on launch or waiting it out a couple months to see what's up, and I did just get a 3DS (black friday) so with Luma out on 11.2 I have much of perusing to do as far as games go.

I'm hoping the online stays free on the 3ds successor since the switch might just be a home console even though its a highbrid,they might not want to move Pokemon to a main console just yet.

Well, who knows there will be a 3DS successor. I want there to be, but I just don't know

I think the 3DS has a couple of years before you can call it "Dead".
The switch came to replace the Wii U and add some portability but nothing else, the 3DS still has some way to go, I'd give it 3-5 more years until it loses it's popularity.

A 3DS successor?... the 4DS!!! Now with TWO 3D SCREENS!! Haha just imagine that.

    @BigOnYa If you want to do rgh or 360 mod
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    does it matter if you update your 360 or not before trying is it advisable or not
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea I don't pay attention to them really. Or do I try to 100% a game. I just play till story ends/ or I get the girl!

    Going to the water park, see ya
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    You should update the 360 to newest dash before RGHing it yes. But not a big deal if you don't, you can install new dash/avatar updates after. It's just easier to do it auto online before, instead manual offline after.

    Have fun @Xdqwerty. If you see a chocolate candy bar floating in the water, don't eat it!

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa I wanted to ask you about your experience with seeing south park. Most of the people a bit younger like my younger brother and cousins that are a few younger than me that saw kids found south park funny because of the curse words, kids at school, that seemed like liking the show on a very basic level.

    I could not quite have a in depth discussion of the show.

    How was it for you? As an adult. What did you find the most interesting part about it. Did you relate to the parents of the kids and their situations. Was it satires, the commentary on society. The references on celebrities' and pop culture.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I remember seeing the very first episode back in the day, and have watched every episode since. I used to set my VCR to record them even, shows how long ago.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just like any comedies really, and cartoons have always been a favorite of mine. Family guy, American Dad, Futurama, Cleveland Show, Simpsons - I like them all.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    South Park is great cause they always touch on relavent issues going on today, and make something funny out of it.
    +3
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa were you always up to date on the current events and issues of the time or were there issues that you first found out thru south park
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Most of the time yea I knew, I watch and read the news regularly, but sometimes the Hollywood BS stuff, like concerning actors slip by me. I don't follow most Hollywood BS (example: the Kardasians)

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa there were relevant issues before south park was made, that's why i think a south park prequel/spinoff would be great. Randy and his friends in their child hood
    +1
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea, like them running in high school together, getting into stuff, and how they got hitched and had kids. And how the town of South Park was back then compared to now. That would be cool to see.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @salazarcosplay if they made a prequel, it would still be about current issues, cause it doesn't make sense to make it about stuff that happened 30 years ago that nobody cares about anymore
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's too late
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the older south park episodes about particular issues usually age poorly since the topic is no longer relevant
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    an exception is giant douche vs turd sandwich, that's always relevant :P
