any thoughts on the new model? i've heard the screen is a bit worse, but otherwise looks like a better deal.

I don't have one yet, but want to get one. Thinking of stocking up on Jap games I can get for retail price now from Amazon, before the price for them will probably skyrocket. Anyone here like switch for Jap games like JRPG/visual novels? Is it good experience, I had xbox one and traded it in for xbox series s, but I'm starting to regret it, western games bore the hell out of me now, last time I played JRPGs seriously was good ol ps2 era.
Thinking of doing surveys to earn wizbucks to buy games off Amazon, figure if I do enough to get 10 dollars a day, thats enough to buy a full price game a week easy, as games are 60-70 here in Australia. I just need to find the motivation to do surveys for five hours a day. If I had a job I could just buy them, but I'm not sure I want to waste money on games anymore, I feel better if I just waste my time doing surveys, I have two laptops anyway so I can watch anime on one and do surveys on the other, I'm just lazy.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is getting 48 more tracks over the course of two years starting this March. It'll cost $25 and they're all remakes of past tracks but they'll be playable online so it should breath some life in to the game. This means MK8 will have been the "current" Mario Kart game for 10 years when counting the Deluxe release as just a port of the WiiU version.
No.56587
>>56575Games as a service..
Mario kart 8 is an awful game. All the weird gravity stuff makes tracks confusing to race on. It would be fine to drive up the walls on big curves but many of them are total changes you can't really see coming. All the boat, flying and whatever shit is just a mess too. They should make Diddy kong racing if they want to do all the different vehicles and cut the bullshit.
No.56588
>>56587>Games as a service..What has that got to do with anything? "Games as a service" refers to games that can be rendered completely unplayable at the whim of the publisher. When you buy MK8, you're paying for a functional singleplayer experience that can be played on any Switch. The global online servers may go down in the future, but local wireless will still work whoch is the same experience. The map packs are just DLC being dished out over time.
>It would be fine to drive up the walls on big curves but many of them are total changes you can't really see coming.Any racing game requires the player to memorize the track and to know how to read signs. The areas that switch to hover and water mode are marked with different boosters. Also hover mode doesn't handle different, it's just an artistic choice needed to explain why the karts don't fall off the track when going inverse.

>Mario kart has always been about crazy XNo it hasn't. It didn't become a gimmick fest until the Wii. It doesn't need 15 different vehicle modes, customisable karts which slowly unlock and fucking with the gravity. In every other Mario kart you could see the track ahead of you and how you had to turn. In 8 you don't because it can go any where it wants to. Which makes it more about autism than skill as a racer.
No.56593
>>56592>It's the entire model of making a base game and padding out content as a constant update with season passes and drip feeding DLC. No, that's never had anything to do with "games as a service", like at all. What you're complaining about has its own name, but even that doesn't really apply here because MK8 Deluxe was a fully finished and functional game at release that didn't advertise any future content. This is just an optional expansion pack. Nintendo stated, at least where Virtual Console games are concerned, that they release new content on a in small increments on a set schedule so they have time to fix bugs and focus on a small handful of games instead of dropping dozens of releases and then scrambling to fix things. Most of the 48 promised tracks are probably not even complete yet as they're full-scale remakes so they can't release them all if they wanted.
>In every other Mario kart you could see the track ahead of you and how you had to turn.I can do this in MK8 as easy as I can in any other, if not easier than all of the 2D games. Plus a good bunch of the tracks in MK8 are from the past games…

Even though the Switch ships with a dock installed, Switch games are compact and cartridge based so they're considered portables and therefor have the same concealment class as 3DS or PS VITA games. Depending on where you are you might need to run a background check on whoever is buying the game (If they break the online mode's TOS with the game it could come back to you if they turned out to not be old enough to play that game).

- Shrines felt way easier than BoTW, ultrahand + recall trivialize so many of them and apparently other stuff like rockets shields make them easier. The combat shrines which strip your equipment are better than the shitty combat shrines in BoTW which are mostly just repeats at least but now there are the blessing shrines which are way too common.
- Still no real dungeons, the lightning temple was the closest to an actual dungeon and even that was short. Water temple was ass, wind temple was eh, and fire temple I just cheesed because I was getting sick of building shit and didn't feel like navigating the rails.

ebay shows
$250 minimum for used ps4
$200 minimum for used switch
$10 for each used ps4 game
$15-20 for each used switch game
that's already like $500. you also need a monitor, the controllers for each system. and if you want to play another console… yeah that is another few hundred. and you have barely bought any games. it does get cheaper for older consoles and hardware, to some extent when they aren't collectible. but the emulation also becomes easier and more affordable the older the system you are playing

if your cpu is sufficient, you get 30/60 fps
if your cpu is super powerful, you still get 720p at 30/60fps
if your cpu is not powerful enough, you get lower fps
any games that are NOT playable or have really bad fps are a result of the emulator, basically all cpus will suck at these games
rendering the game at a higher resolution primarily uses your gpu, and you don't need much. if you want a card that will let you play modern games as well, try a 3060 for $220 on ebay, or the 2060 super is basically the same thing for $170. youc an go down all the way to 1660 super for like $100
here are some cpus that should work fine. people often upgrade from these to way more powerful cpus, and find they aren't getting any better performance. if the game runs like ass you'll need to do performance mods or try a different emulator. some games run much better in cemu vs yuzu for example
i5-9400f
r5 5600x or r7 3700x or 3600
any of these are fine. the amd cpus are like $90-120 but you can look at passmark and find similar scoring cpus for less and pick them up used on ebay
you need a minimum 16gb ram which is chump change nowadays
a good ssd to run the game from
a mobo compatible with whatever cpu socket you want. amd seems to be more value so probably am4 for what i listed
$170 - 2060 super
$120 - r5 5600x
$50 - am4 motherboard
$20 - 16gb ddr4 ram
$20 - 1TB hdd
$40 - 1TB ssd
$60 - atx tower case
that's under $500
swapping to 1660 super and r7 3700x would bring it down to $400. if you already have hard drives or ssd or an old pc case, you could have this for well under $300
i'm sure there are guides out there to build cheaper stuff for emulating switch. people make youtube videos on systems costing less than $100 playign stuff like starfield and cyberpunk at console quality framerate and graphics settings.
