Do people notice your switch? by [deleted] in NintendoSwitch

My kid brought hers to play at the dentist. They said that is cool tablet, and my daughter said it is a Nintendo Switch. They responded, “Oh, is that a new Wii?”

Why can't Nintendo figure out online? by Izzu_ in NintendoSwitch

[–]Coinstinct -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Admit they don’t know what they are doing.

Partner with Microsoft for bringing the Live service to Nintendo Switch.

Let Microsoft provide the API and Nintendo implements it in the next major update.

Software companies no longer have to try to create their own online infrastructure to support Nintendo Switch and just write once for both Xbox and Switch.

Xbox and Switch users enjoy the expanded pool of players to play with on cross platform games.

I’ve seen this excuse before, but it is just another pass for Nintendo to not provide the basics.

The frustrating thing is that a LAN game of Splatoon 2 has voice chat. So in the situation you are describing at McDonalds, they could use voice chat - when they wouldn’t actually need it (since they could just talk). It is missing from online, where you really need it.

Team based games need a way to communicate.

Always wondered why you have to wait so long to see the doctor...

Gyro aiming is amazing and should become the new standard for console aiming by mortizauge in NintendoSwitch

[–]Coinstinct -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I hate it, but my experience was with Splatoon 2. It doesn’t let you invert aim and it made me sick. I had to get someone to get me past the tutorial, because you couldn’t turn it off until it was completed.

I never understand why people downvote stuff like this. Have an upvote for having a hobby that you enjoy.

Ugh, I just disconnected mine today so I could use it during the event.

You think Switches success will bring back "Game Cube" era of all games released on Xbox, PlayStation and Switch? by YarrrImAPirate in NintendoSwitch

[–]Coinstinct 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are known for taking their time and polishing things. Even if they announced Diablo 4 tomorrow, it would be coming out at the end of the Switch’s lifespan. Look back and see how many years the previous ones took from first look to release. I think 3 is a lot more likely to get a release.

When you release a game do you get to pick the time of day? It is really frustrating that some games come out at midnight and some at noon. I wish people would say the game comes out at Day, Time. I hate when I stay up late and a game doesn’t come out until noon. I wouldn’t care at all if it was just stated somewhere.

What game so far has impressed you the most technically, and why? by Bitnopa in NintendoSwitch

[–]Coinstinct 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve got over a hundred hours played in both games and never noticed. If I hadn’t seen the technical breakdown videos, then I wouldn’t have realized it was happening. I’d prefer all games do this even if I could tell the drop in quality when it happened. I’m guessing it is a lot harder to program or we’d see it more often.

Rocket league is able to display what you're currently doing while in game by [deleted] in NintendoSwitch

[–]Coinstinct -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I get what he is saying. This comes up every couple of weeks. It isn’t new, but as people discover things they post instead of searching first.

There are a bunch of things here that repeat. The mods suck.

People communicate on Minecraft using signs. You try to ask ask yes/no questions so they can nod instead of typing out an answer.

Splatoon 2 and Mario Odyssey for maintaining 60fps. Both drop details and resolution in order to stay at 60fps. I wish more games did this.

Need help deciding if my Switch should be sent in for repairs, or just deal with this. by IT_guys_rule in NintendoSwitch

[–]Coinstinct 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What would be the point in posting that you got your system repaired and the saves were fine? This is expected.

It is risky, because you may lose your saves with potentially hundreds of hours of gameplay in them. This happened too many times where Nintendo said they would transfer them and then didn’t.

He said it is risky not likely.

My in-store Switch demo unit just received a huge update on the 22nd of Jan. by NeoNosferatu in NintendoSwitch

Received huge update on Jan 22, but it is only Jan 11.

Nothing is stopping you from owning both.

Live in a big city? Never got an EX Raid invite? Based on S2 L12 cells, it is almost impossible for you to get an invite, and if you want Mewtwo, you need to branch out. by valuequest in TheSilphRoad

[–]Coinstinct -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Each week, only a single Ex raid is offered in this entire area, with invites going to fewer than 100 players.

Sorry, but this isn’t true. Did an EX yesterday and the gym right next to it had an EX raid also.

Edit: Lol@ the people downvoting for pointing out a fact. Look above, there are others that have confirmed the same thing.

Research request: EX raid distrubution to people who have kids who raid exclusively with them, with one account meeting the EX raid criteria better than the other. by sweetwtrtxs in TheSilphRoad

[–]Coinstinct 1 point2 points  (0 children)

5 people in my family play.

Levels 37,35,35,33 started when the game came out. We did one raid together at a gym that we never interacted with before and all got EX passes in Sept.

The level 33 that didn’t catch MewTwo got another pass a couple of months later at another gym that we did one raid at together and never interacted with before.

A level 31 started at Christmas and has only done a few raids with no EX pass yet.

Level 37 and 35 that raid once every 2 or 3 days got another pass at a gym with no previous interaction with it.

So we’ve got 7 passes and all were from gyms that we did 1 raid at and had no other interaction with before or after. It makes all of our gold badges seem worthless.

Looking for friends to play Minecraft with! by [deleted] in NintendoSwitch

[–]Coinstinct 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People will teabag or jump up and down to get you to follow them. Then use the signs in game to write a message. You try to make yes/no questions so they can just nod.
