Man, the Steam Deck bros are really insufferable, aren’t they?
checks Steam Deck
Weirdly fine, hm…
Hmm cause… It could be the battery. Or maybe the battery is fucked. If that’s not the case they could probably have a look at the battery and see if it failed.
It’s their way of saying they try to blame the customer first.
I wish portable devices went back to being made with toolless battery swapping in mind like the old game boys.
I think I would be more okay with having to undo a screw or two as long as it was still just as easy to get the battery out. The way the Advance SP and DSs handled it. Lithium batteries are slightly more unfriendly to being handled than AAs and this is a device aimed at children. Your point stands though.
I think the New 3DS had the best implementation. The swappable backplate were cool and provided easy but child safe access to the batteries behind 2 normal Phillips screws.
Are you like fucking kidding me…? It’s been less than a month and there’s QA issues
That’s why you never pre-order. Never. Still never.
Exactly
There’s always a percentage of devices that will show defects, especially the launch wave. QA can never get 100% of units passed.
Does anyone remember the PS5 issues with the disc drive, rest mode, coil whine etc during launch?
Now if this turns into a pattern / widespread issue I’m ready to jump on the bandwagon, but this is not out of the ordinary.
E: typo
Exactly. We’re hearing about the edge cases so far, which there will ALWAYS be some for any product.
Not defending Nintendo here. I’d love to be playing the new Mario Kart, but not at those prices.
The new Mario kart is the same as the old Mario kart. Just play 8 if you want to play Mario kart lol.
For better or for worse, it’s actually quite different. Many people seem to actually prefer Mario Kart 8 lol
It’s different to the point I sometimes go back to 8 for the more traditional format. That isn’t something that has ever been the case for me across other mario kart games.
Kinda the best of both worlds if you have both games, really. MK8 had a ton of “traditional” tracks and MKW has a ton of new tracks.
That’s a lotta tracks, baby!
That’s like telling me to not read sequels to books.
Just because it shares mechanics and characters does not make it the same game.
Huh? The person I responded to said they don’t have Mario kart world and don’t want to buy it for the price it’s being sold at. So i said play Mario kart 8 it’s the same game.
So yes. If you don’t own a sequel to a book and it costs too much, then just read the first book.
What a silly statement. There are tons of new features, characters, and courses in World.
Even with the vast majority of people having no issues, with millions sold, that’s still a good number of people just got a bad one. The article only reports two instances.
It’s been less than a week my guy
It’s not really too unusual for a launch as big as this to have some bad units slip through QA. If it’s a handful of people, I’d even say that’s pretty impressive. This starts to effect a large enough percentage and then you’ve got something worth getting upset about.
Yeah this is like making out a monitor having a dead pixel is some huge scandal and discredit to that company.
Classic Nintendo
Nintendo: “Well, it’s obviously not our rushed production schedule or choosing to use cheaper parts… I wonder what it could be.”
Why did someone buy their shit?
Because their shit is better than lots of other shit.
Because Nintendo jealously guards even the ideas that their IPs create. You just saw them go to the courts to make their patents be a little more vague just so they could try to take down Palworld. And they know that as long as they can corner the market on those specific experiences you’ll have to come back to them in order to get it. It’s very much like a drug dealer getting rid of other drug dealers that might come into their neighborhood so that the only drug is their drug and the only place to get it is through them.
Mario kart.
You could just emulate on a steam deck while having a bazillion other games available
How do you emulate a console on a device less powerful than the console you’re emulating?
Wouldnt the S2 be at best equal to the SteamDeck in raw processing power?
Last I heard it has a 2h battery runtime for MK World. That’s less thn me emulating MK8D on a steamdeck at 2x the resolution and 60 FPS.
You can already do that for the switch 2?
Definitely not.
“cause uh Nintendo and…Mario Kart World”…
