Chindie Posted October 6, 2019 Author VT Supporter Share Posted October 6, 2019 Digital Foundry do a full analysis of Links Awakening including a comparison with the original. The original is one of my favourite games, so no surprise a pretty much frame for frame remake of it is excellent. I don't think I'll ever like the look of the thing though. I can see why many would like it, and I can see they're actively trying to make it look toy like, but I kinda hate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 I'm one of those who love it, I think it has a charm about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted October 6, 2019 Author VT Supporter Share Posted October 6, 2019 I think it looks really free to play mobile game esque. Really, really don't like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodgyknees Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 (edited) I bought a new Switch for 3 reasons. 1) I kept dancing off the edge in the test of friendship task in NNK 2) The missus kept nicking the console 3) better battery I got a Pro controller when my stick started driving (ooooh matron) but missed playing handheld. Re: battery, the 2 year old console and the new one. We were both playing NNK, both handheld. After about 90mins, her battery was on 5% and mine on 45%, granted it's a new console and battery, but it shows just how much the battery degrades in its lifetime.

So I'll be sending Joy-Cons back to Nintendo for repair. Hopefully all sorted then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a common issue that Nintendo are just ignoring in the uk It's an issue they are ignoring worldwide. There is a massive lawsuit in the US surrounding it and now Switch Lite cases are being added to it. Nintendo don't give a shit as they have failed to fix the issue, and now the issue plagues a version of the console without swappable joy-con which is even worse.

Dodgyknees Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 So glad I bought the new switch, I'm sure the screen is different - Warner colours, looks great even in sunlight, and the battery is vastly improved. I have played a few games today (handheld) and I'm only down to 22% now. I played NNK for an hour, Lego DC Villains for about 3 hours, and then back to NNK for another hour and a bit. Not bad.

Its a common issue that Nintendo are just ignoring in the uk Interestingly (or not), my PowerA wireless controller has developed drift just like my original joy cons. But the wired PowerA controllers I've got which I've had for a lot longer are both absolutely fine. Fingers crossed, the recent pair of Splatoon 2 coloured joy cons I bought are fine for now too. I do wonder if it's to do with the bluetooth signal though rather than cheap parts/wear/dust. Edited October 11, 2019 by Ingram85 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
