Not physically no - although, like all the stores, the eShop does tend to be RRP so it'll cost you.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favourite VR games don't use waggle at all, so I'm not really sure where you're coming from? The only games of the PSVR lineup I played with Move controllers are Batman VR and a few lightgun games. The rest uses the normal controller. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A billion times this. Waggle, but with added headset that makes you look like a twat! GOTY LIFE CHANGING EXPERIENCE etc Also, in before "Yeah but have you tried it?"

Unofficial Who Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 14 minutes ago, rgraves said: No, quite the opposite in fact. Reggie has said that they know people have invested and that they should stay tuned for more details. He basically confirmed that something is coming for those with existing VC purchases, but that we'll have to hold on for a bit until we get the details. If that's the case it might be back on my radar. I'd love to play virtual console purchases on the Switch as sadly my eyes are becoming a bit shit.

Petrousgyre Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Hadn't considered it before but going with the Xbox style offset analog sticks means that when you disconnect the controllers and hold them sideways they're identical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have Move with my PSVR setup. and Bojangle we don't play games to look cool , we look like twats no matter what game and system we are playing. That is the one universal truth gaming is not cool and you look like a twat when you play whether it is FIFA with your mates and beers and bants or whether it is wanking a wiimote or playing a serious game of CoD with your clan or siotting with a zonking great headset on 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post joe bazooka Posted January 14, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted January 14, 2017 Oh man, our WiiU just flashed up with a Switch advert/trailers. Yeah, looks fucking brilliant. Hype train was spluttering a bit there but I think, with a lot if love and if we're pure of heart, we can get it back up to full speed for the March launch of this paradigm shifting gaming fucking phenomenon. All aboard!! 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All aboard!! I was wondering how long it'd take for you to get back into the driver seat of our hype train, here. Let's hope it doesn't turn into a bum train. Back of the bum train feels no pain. I hope I end up with a neon one. So what about their shit voice comms service? No one has used voice chat constructively in console gaming since 2005. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise I can't see any reason for such an odd implementation.. I can't see it being anything to do with the specs. Even the original fucking Xbox had voice chat! The only reason I can think of at the moment is what I personally consider the obvious one: Nintendo still doesn't "get" it when it comes to online gaming. Or, indeed, the Internet in general. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdn2 Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 I think, for me, I don't think there's going to be two better games this year than Zelda and Mario. I can afford the new console, so I'll be damned if I'm going to miss out on them. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danster Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Yeah, or maybe they aren't really interested in doing voice chat. I voice chat with my brother and my mate. And have done occasionally with people from here, but most of my online gaming life is just playing, not talking. I will not miss it at all (never missed it on Wii/Wii U/DS nor 3DS) and if they want to do it through an app, I couldn't care less. Now online not being available AT ALL at launch. That's definitely a WTF moment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shimmyhill Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 I know this hasn't been answered but assuming we do get wii games in VC and the joy cons have all the motion stuff in them it means we can play mario galaxy on the move - flicking the whole console doing the spin thingie! Best console ever 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulando Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Look, their online service could be just 50p a month for all we know, but announcing a chargeable service which sounds inferior to the competition, and not announcing the price of that service to give it context, was clearly a huge mistake. It's just begging for unfair comparisons to PSN/XBLA. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonamok Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 If the WiiU can play Zelda with aplomb, is there any reason it couldn't also play Mario Odyssey or Splatoon 2? Other than Ninty not releasing them of course because then there would be no real reason to Switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatsam Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 No reason on Splatoon, but I do think that Mario will make use of the HD Rumble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizmo1990 Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Doesn't it strike people as odd that there's still so much unanswered about this device so close to its launch? All these guessing games about the OS, the services, the third parties etc? It's very very odd. Tbh, I wouldn't be surprised if this turns out to be another 3DS launch. I'm really worried Nintendo have totally dropped the ball here. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
