Is there some NSO magic working here with Extreme G, like with how they upped the FPS on Pilot Wings? As it just seems to perform SO WELL. I assume that has to be the case, as I'm sure people would have made a huge deal about this game back on the N64 otherwise. I did used to have Extreme G as a kid but didn't really like it, my brother was more into it. I found the visual style and music a bit scary and was much more fond of Diddy Kong Racing and Mario Kart 64 lol. I can appreciate the game much more now. -
I did actually suggest the idea of using magnetic Joycons with Qi charging over the existing rail system a good while back; with the Switch 2 utilising a foldable screen. The big thing being that it would allow the Joycons to be used in any orientation; as you could then have a foldable console that can be used in a horizontal layout, a DS-style vertical layout or a back & front layout with one half of the screen folded towards the front and one towards the back, since the Joycons could just be magnetically attached when you flip and fold the device around. Removing the rail system would enable this to be made possible -
Don't have a PC, so that's not happening for me. Still proper hyped for it, even if I'll be waiting a long time. -
Grain of salt and all that fun stuff (or maybe not, if you're a slug), but Vandal are touting some potential knowledge they have if the Switch successor (source article): All of this sounds a bit on the safe side to me? • potential accessory manufacturers being able to touch the console but not actually see it in some Fear Factor-type of way is weird as hell. But this is Nintendo, so fairly believable. • early 2025 release has been touted for a few months now, nothing new here and seems to be the expectation at this point. • bigger than the Switch but smaller than the Steam Deck makes perfect sense. Would expect screen size to increase but Steam Deck has some thick ol' bezels and is just generally a big boi. Fairly believable. • Joy-Cons being magnetic rather than having a rails system makes total sense, I think I'd love that so long as the magnets were protected enough they they didn't wear over the time. Funnily enough the lack of any detail when talking about the Joy-Cons relating to the drift issue makes me think this is real purely because I maintain that Nintendo ain't going to say or show anything being different when it comes to this before launch. Remains to be seen if that would actually mean not making any changes, mind you. • current Pro Controller being forward compatible makes complete sense, it ain't cheap and other than an actual D-Pad (which I'd expected on the new Pro Controller) I don't think there'll be any major differences to it. • Joy-Cons potentially not being forward compatible is interesting, would be a shame but makes sense with a magnetic system vs rails. Still think they could make some money here with Joy-Con jackets that have the same magnet system as the new Joy-Cons reportedly will. Overall...magnets, amirite? -
Anyone else subscribe to and get an invite to alpha test this? Most games I would shy away from that for fear of ruining the end experience but with this I'm kinda excited to be part of it!
