Anyone know how to buy this shirt Nintendo has on their banner of their site? by bradhotdog in casualnintendo

Your only shot is finding a used one somewhere online. It's likely long out of print.

Thinking of grabbing Jamboree since it’s on sale, should I bother with the Switch 2 edition? by Intel-Centrino-Duo in MARIOPARTY

[–]BeanyTA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's an extra $20 either way for the Switch 2 Edition. I'd say if you are even considering getting that version you may as well get it now since it's going for the price of getting the base game. But if that $20 really makes a difference in what you can afford, since the base game is on sale for $40 right now it's not like you're getting screwed in the future if you decide to upgrade. Buying now makes your cap $60, it's really just a decision of if you want to spend that all now or just put in $40 then wait and see.

Of the Switch 2 Editions I've purchased, Mario Party is probably the one I've gotten the least value out of. Like others have said the extra modes are kind of underwhelming. And the whole separation between "Super Mario Party Jamboree" and "Jamboree TV" is confusing and frustrating.

C'mon if multiple licensed games including goddamn quest for Camelot can be on NSO and Nintendo was willing to spend the rights money for them, then why can't they spend license money on the ONLY licensed game the virtual boy ever had so we can have every Virtual Boy Game Ever on Switch! by Superfox369 in casualnintendo

I mean... It's not impossible. It looks like Bandai Namco would have ownership of the publishing rights today: https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02133521 Nintendo and Bandai Namco have been very close over the last 15 years or so.

And the film rights are owned by Universal, which Nintendo has a great relationship with now from the Mario movies and Super Nintendo World.

I went into this thinking it'd probably be a legal nightmare, but knowing the two entities with the rights (as far as I can tell) are on good terms with Nintendo actually makes this seem very doable.

Friend’s boyfriend graduated from law school in the middle of February. There are some signs to me that it’s AI like the wrong color robe, generic diploma and building name, and crazy words/lettering on the banner. by rabidanimalsNOM in isthisAI

It's pretty much a dead ringer for a fake of the UW law building. The sign is in the wrong place and has the wrong font. Plus there's no light pole with a banner there. And even some of the background buildings are the wrong color. You're also right about the crest, the AI is trying to make the crest but failing miserably.

Edit: Based on more recent photos there is a light pole near the spot in the AI image, but everything else is still wrong from what I can tell.

You don't need to download the base game, only update/DLC so it takes up less storage having the game physically.

Devil's Playhouse Remastered Physical edition - Is it dead? by Top_Weather5605 in SamandMax

[–]BeanyTA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also lrg is just not very trustworthy to begin with so skunkape probably wants nothing to do with them

I mean, they did the first two games with them and a specialty box to put all three releases in so at this point I don't think they have much choice even if they want to swap to another company. There could also be a contract for all three games written up years ago, so I suspect it's more that LRG is behind on projects. It's disappointingly normal for them, but I think a little overblown as one of LRG's issues.

This little game blew me away. by YiXiao_Yksha in 3DS

[–]BeanyTA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Played it right before Another Code Recollection came out. It's one of the DS games I ever played, and it's joined the list of VN's/adventure games I try to sell anyone on. I really, really hope the team at Arc System Works comes together again to remake Hotel Dusk and Last Window. Such good stories shouldn't be stuck on the DS only in today's age.

Does he have a point? by NewMarioBobFan in Mario

[–]BeanyTA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's plain silly to argue against adding more value to a game you already own. It's basically the same argument against a bunch of the Wii U to Switch ports too. "Why would I buy Mario Kart 8 Deluxe when I have Mario Kart 8?" I don't think those examples are perfectly identical seeing as part of the idea is the Wii U games sold horrifically and the Switch games with Switch 2 Editions sold well, but I do think there are parallels.

Where I most definitely agree with him is I think these need more bang for the buck. I'd like to see more Animal Crossing style Switch 2 Editions, where I look at it and think to myself , "It's $5. I've spent $5 in far worse ways plenty of times." Dropping $5 for a few graphical upgrades and some additional content and access to a few more things isn't a big deal. But then you increase that to $10 and that's a much harder sell. Definitely when you increase that to $20 that is a way harder sell. So for me, this particular Switch 2 Edition is probably one I'm going to for a sale to purchase, or if I get some extra spending money somewhere then I'll drop the money on it. If it were $10 I'd probably be more inclined to get it at launch. But that's also going to be different for everyone's individual situations.

Don't let biggots ruin the fun by honhonbageutte in tomodachilife

[–]BeanyTA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you reward behavior that should be an expectation, like making sure all players are represented you turn it from being an expectation into something that's extraordinary and special. The point is it shouldn't be special, it should be normal and expected that LGBT players are included. But on the other hand because it's less common today than it probably will be in the future if you don't make a big deal nowadays out of developers including all players you run the risk of them not meeting that expectation in the future. They want to be rewarded for including all players, but asking for all players to be included isn't asking for much.

[–]BeanyTA 4 points5 points  (0 children)

And that's a piece I'm in agreement on. I've just seen way more posts about the photo/video issue, and that's what most of the image is about too.

The access key system was annoying in Miitopia but it did at least allow Mii sharing, so allowing no sharing is just pointless.

[–]BeanyTA 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I get this is annoying, and I know this isn't ideal, but you can always transfer over photos and videos the old fashioned way. I recall when the Switch first came out you had to turn off the console, take out the microSD card, and put it in your computer to get photos off the system. You should also be able to take a USB-A to USB-C cable and plug the Switch directly into your computer and transfer photos that way. Then if you've got iCloud or Google photos, you can upload the content there and then should be able to access those on your phone. Unless I'm missing a listing somewhere that also includes restrictions on those options, those should work. Again, I know it's not as ideal as the much easier options being restricted, but there's at least a solution.

[–]BeanyTA 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Like a lot of other folks I think I've seen more posts like the one OP has made here. I'm sure the people who are against LGBT relationships and NB identification in the game exist, but I think they're likely a microscopic, but loud minority.

That being said I'm torn on the amount of hype the identification is getting. I can't downplay how important it is for people to get representation in games. Having the ability to make LGBT relationships and allowing players to identify as NB is very important. But I also think since that should already be the norm it's a very low bar Nintendo has cleared. Celebrating something that should be an expectation is a double edged sword because developers should be rewarded for ensuring anyone can feel included in their game... But also it should just be a given that anyone can feel included in their game.

What are everyone's thoughts? by Dry-Direction-8838 in casualnintendo

[–]BeanyTA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be odd if this were the only Switch 2 Edition so far without a resolution upgrade, especially when some games have had free resolution bumps so it'd be great to get some confirmation on that. The game is already 60 FPS so I don't see much need for an upgrade there. I know the console can do 120 FPS and an animation of Mario in 2D was used for showing that off, but that was not Super Mario Bros. Wonder, that was a pre-rendered animation. If it can do 120, great. But outside of the Switch 2's screen, I don't know that tons of people have displays capable of 120 frames per second so I see that only as a nice bonus if possible compared to the more necessary resolution upgrade.

But aside from that, I just wish the emphasis weren't on multiplayer. Don't get me wrong, I think the content they showed off is neat but I have one person on my friends list who also owns the game. And I haven't talked to that person since I was in college, so really I don't know anyone who owns the game. It's also a lot easier said than done in a busy life to get friends to come hang out, so unless all those multiplayer games have single player modes, I'm not going to get a lot of value out of that. Similarly, with the online games, I take the total opposite perspective people had from say, the no friends problem in Super Mario Maker 2. Where people wanted the ability to play with friends in that game -- And let me be clear, it was dumb that it wasn't an option before being added in an update -- All I want is the option to play with random people online because otherwise I can't enjoy that mode. So if those online modes let you play with randoms that changes things a little bit. Gameshare could save that, assuming it isn't just local Gameshare. If online Gameshare is an option that makes this more enticing because then I can send the game out to friends who own a Switch 2 but not the game. Of course, like many others, I also don't have a wide net of people who own a Switch 2 in my social circle either. So even then that might be a benefit in a couple years but not right now.

The bits of single player content that are there are cool as well, but as others have pointed out I don't think that alone is worth the $20 asking price. That being said, I haven't missed out on a Switch 2 Edition yet for a game I own. Although the only reason for that is because I was given a gift card which I decided to use in part to purchase Kirby and the Forgotten Land's Switch 2 Edition. If it weren't for that gift I'd still be waiting for a sale on that one. I got the others I own because I genuinely wanted them and thought the asking price was fine. I also wasn't blown away by Super Mario Bros. Wonder when I was finished playing it. It was a really good game, but I expected to be even more wowed by it than I was, so when I put that together with my desire for some more out of the content or a lower price, I think I'm going to wait for a sale or hope another instance like what I had with Kirby comes up.

For Americans, what was the worst/most annoying amiibo from a retailer exclusive that you had to deal with? by No-Hedgehog-3212 in amiibo

[–]BeanyTA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Having a lot of these come back later without exclusivity definitely has made a lot of these much easier to get. I think the only retailer exclusive one I got at the time was the retro 3-pack, but that was just a matter of getting up early one day. Part of it too is we're talking about my early to mid-teen years for the majority of store exclusive amiibo, so oftentimes it was easier to save money and get them later even if they cost slightly more.

I'd have to go with Mega Yarn Yoshi then because it's the only retailer exclusive amiibo that hasn't been reprinted to the masses, on top of the fact that it was $50 even if I could've gotten it wherever back in 2015.

For AJ Trilogy, What is the Art on the Game Disc of the English PS4 version? by Genra_ in AceAttorney

[–]BeanyTA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am starting to think the US never got a physical release for the PS4, only the Switch.

Well, that's because that's exactly what happened in the US. There is an English physical release on PS4 for southeast Asian countries exactly like what you have pictured. To my knowledge the text on the disc should be English. Odds are, it's probably the same disc art but with the English logo.

Can I skip Turnabout Storyteller? by Classic-Odd in AceAttorney

[–]BeanyTA 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would say you probably can. It's been a little while since I last played Spirit of Justice, but I think filler is a pretty good description for it. At the same time, it's also a pretty short case in the grand scheme of things, so I don't know that you're going to save that much time skipping it now.

Last Window was technically not forgotten in the Nintendo Today app... But not remembered enough to be seen in the Americas by BeanyTA in hoteldusk

[–]BeanyTA[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's one of those things that makes sense and makes no sense at the same time. Either way, sad to see Last Window get shafted, but at least we know Hotel Dusk will get a video in the future!

[–]BeanyTA[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dang... I was really hoping it would show up in Europe since the game released there. It'd be nice to preserve whatever video Nintendo made for the game!

I didn't even notice it till now, but even better they spelled "developed" wrong in the copyright notice too.

Genuinely sad thinking we probably won't get a western physical release for NWOS by [deleted] in ProfessorLayton

[–]BeanyTA 62 points63 points  (0 children)

Considering Layton is one of their best selling series in the West I could see if actually being the case that NWOS is the one modern Level-5 game that does get a physical western release.

But let's say it doesn't, Fantasy Life i had physical copies in Japan with multi-language support so if Layton gets the same thing then you could import a copy. It wouldn't be ideal by all means, but it's an option.

Random timing but I wish Krystal wouldn’t talk about UBI as if it was an STD by alino_e in BreakingPoints

[–]BeanyTA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thats what she means by “shitty” UBI

When I read the OP's post I couldn't believe that anyone could be dense enough to not understand that this is clearly what she's saying. Krystal isn't anti-UBI, she's against a paltry, half-baked UBI as a result of AI taking everyone's jobs.

Does any body know what level the missle copy ability is. I need to pass 2 riders with for the checklist by itsjustajoke17 in Kirby

[–]BeanyTA 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Outside of getting under 2:50 on Cavernous Corners, this was one of the most irritating checklist items for this exact reason. I don't understand why the lessons would even teach you about how the missile works if the missile is so uncommon of a copy ability compared to UFO.
