FAST RMX has 4 player splitscreen.

 

 

I'll be honest, i've seen nothing on this. Is it essentially wipeout? (Thats what it looks like from a quick glance on youtube).

[NEG]

Many pic-tares. Many warning.

He double definitely didn't.

 

He said the only reason there were two Nintendo formats is because the power of battery operated and mains fed consoles were so different that they needed different games. 

[Oracle]

Have they confirmed local wifi multiplayer? Would that have to go through the silly smartphone application also?

[jiroczech]

Cancelled my Amazon pre-order this morning. I don't have the money to throw at it and I'm not motivated enough to flog stuff to fund it (like I did with PSVR). Sad times.

Sell the PSVR

I think deKay was coming at that from a different angle there.

That's why I said double. He's dead + he said the opposite = double.

They have said that that will be possible with the Switch though.

 

No, they haven't.

[MidWalian]

I'm seeing many reports that people are having issues with the left joycon. Bad!

 

 

[Harsin]

Did DeKay watch the Monty Python argument clinic sketch before logging on today?

Taken from the outside of the box:

"Your Nintendo Account contains your Nintendo eShop purchase history and current balance. By re-linking your Nintendo Account after initializing the console, it will be possible to redownload any software or DLC purchased using that account. (Software that has been discontinued may not be available to redownload in some cases.)"

Good Retronauts article on the Switch here

[Jonny5]

I hope it doesn't make that little jingly noise every time you turn it on.

Look it was just the once, i was excited, okay?

 

[Adrock]

Why the fuck am I watching this Eurogamer unboxing, this Ian Higton dude is shit. So is the zero charisma digital foundry dude.

[Jonny5]

Agreed.  I stopped once they turned it on and it made the silly jingly noise.

It's not just Polygon.

 

There is a day one patch so hopefully that will fix it.

[Paulando]

Meanwhile, my Xbox One controllers still randomly disconnect and reconnect, usually at the worst possible moment.

LAN has been mentioned I believe

[Lorfarius]

That Polygon article is a bit worrying on the controller front, it's made me go and buy the Pro controller

Handles nothing like wipeout but is fast as anything you'll ever play and I loved the WiiU version. Thankfully they have apparently tweaked the difficultly (it was a very hard game).

The review systems don;t have the day one update which could well fix the problem. It's almost certainly a software issue as the preview units didn't have the problem.
