I'm wondering how I join.

Probably a donation of money or some sort of meaningful contribution to the site.

I have neither. Damn!

DO WANT

All you need is a Bluetooth adapter and a Wii Remote and Nunchuck.

There is a USB/Classic Controller adapter, but I'm not sure if it works with nunchuck. I'm sure all it would take is a driver update.

Didn't feel like updating the Kid Icarus thread since this is a little insignificant. Nintendo launched a teaser site for Kid Icarus Uprising with some really kickass music, which you can download here.

There's a lengthy gameplay/tutorial video on the site (left link), but might as well post a youtube link as well:

While it still looks fun, i can't honestly say that i haven't lost a lot of interest.

Ok, the Yoda/DV thing was a little uncalled for in SCIV. Its kinda difficult to understand why or how they got in.

But Samus in DOA, not having that is a missed opportunity, jiggly boobs + Zero Suit= HNNGH.

But I digress.

I'm pretty sure he only had a head of hair in the manga. In the games his hair is part of his helmet. According to R20 art anyway.

I don't know why Nintendo would use resistive for Cafe. They have no obligation for backwards compatibility, like the 3DS. The cost is higher, but Capacitive lends itself better to blind touching than Resistive. I'm all for Resistive in applications where you are looking at the surface and need to touch an exact spot. but this is going to be a controller.

If Nintendo did the NDS a hundred times over, each time it would choose Resistive touch, and I would agree with that, but for the Cafe, I don't see it being the best method.

I don't understand your premise, for two reasons:

1. By what logic would Nintendo employ a more expensive technology for their home console?  If anything it's that much more detrimental seeings how controllers are a "peripheral" that ideally a gamer should be buying more than one of, and the screen/streaming tech alone will likely raise cost concerns.

2. Why exactly do you suggest that a capacitive touch screen could substitute for a resistive touch screen, but not vice-versa?

There is the problem of how each works and the accuracy and ease of either.

The resistive is what DS uses and the 3DS almost needs to use one due to the accuracy needed by the resistive touch screen.

Given the chance to use either for a controller, capacitive is best due to the ease of use. You can use your finger and you can maintain contact, while moving, a lot easier.

If Nintendo wants to try to use the 3DS as it is now for a controller, they will run into the problems the resistive touch screen has.

If a consumer is willing to forgo complete NDS touch screen "sameness", they can get a 3DS with a capacitive touch and that would work as a controller for the Cafe, but then all the games for 3DS that use and expect the resistive screen would have to be programmed twice for either method. It wouldn't be that hard though.

tl;dr
The only reason 3DS has Resistive Touch is for compatibility with NDS games. Given the chance to use either, Capacitive Touch has way too many more advantages for use as a controller.


PS: I can go into detail on any part I may have overlooked, just specify.

And they don't render as a picture at all on the forum. We have to look at your post's code to see the link.

Pasting the link gets a 403. Rehost it. They don't want you hot linking.

I'm gonna disagree with the 3DS working as the controller.

Nintendo is probably going to go for a capacitive touch pad for the Cafe controller. If they release a alternate 3DS model with a capacitive touch screen, that might work.

PS: Would someone, please, make a device to lock the screen in place. Like a sort of brace.

You know, that must be why OoT only goes up to 30fps, so that it will be consistent for both 3D and without it.

That is one of the worst F***ing excuses for not using a higher framerate I've ever heard. And it's not even your fault. Companies use it all the time and people accept it. If we weren't so obsesses with being the tipity top of the graphics for screenshots and meaningless comparisons, maybe companies would actually aim for a solid 60FPS instead of pretending like 60FPS is this horribly impossible number. It's like saying "I didn't get a B+ on my last test, because I'd rather have a consistent C- for every test."

Considering we're hitting a graphics quality plateau, maybe companies will start aiming for 60FPs again. Then again, we're getting to the point where 120Hz Monitors are somewhat affordable, but at least 60FPS is acceptable and 120 is a luxury. 30FPS should have never been acceptable.

Majin... race? Wasn't that the wizard guys name? Or the title prefix one got if powered up by him.

No Majin Symbol. The race would be "Buu".

Edit: There is the belt, but a race a belt does not make.
