That's stupidity, why would they do that.
because Nintendo want it there at launch but games need to be translated to 4 extra languages for release in europe.I'm moving this week...next Saturday actually. So next week. Yall wish me luck for an easy move. It's always good when you're moving to a better place, so this should be fantastic.
Good luck on the move Edge.
Awesome news, good luck edge. Lift with your legs!
Over ambitious snake:
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-38400920
An Australian man and his 11-year-old son have been bitten by a tiger snake inside their home in Melbourne.
and then this bullshit:
"The tiger snake was captured, and will be released into the wild "
I think some of you might remember how I dealt with that shit, it involved a shotgun and two to the head.
Thanks bros!
It would be a long trip for you man. And it's cold here...you don't want any of this. lol

6 minutes in guy from Ubisoft says easy ports to Switch from Xbox One level tech is not possible.
Seems to me like it's going to be possible to put pretty much whatever you want on the Switch....but it's going to be a pain in the ass to get certain games that are really advanced dumbed down enough to run well. Maybe like taking ground up OG XBOX or Gamecube games and trying to port them to Dreamcast.
These youtube guys are always days, late to these stories. If the video is refferring to the Ubisoft (Ex-Ubisoft?) guy from late last year, GAF already went over it. The guy does not have a devkit and is speculating on the "leaked" specs. And by "leaked", we mean the random specs that appeared from a twitter user - that only days before had been steadfastly claiming it was a powerful AMD home console design. Same "leak" EG was referencing before too.
The Ubisoft guy is "not wrong" according to the tech guys on GAF (if the specs are true) - but he has no inside knowledge of Switch hardware or any experience of developing for it. Even DF flat out don't know what customisations are on the X1 or how they have modified it. We've also heard that a lot of the specs leaks were based on July 2016 dev kits when more powerful ones were sent out in October.
We did learn of the settings Switch uses when using UE4 and it was found out that it uses the full and not mobile renderer and at decent settings. The PS4 and XB1 runs it on high and the Switch runs it on medium for most parameters. For UE4 at least, ports should be fairly do-able and the couple of devs on GAF with inside knowledge have said that 3rd party support will hinge more on sales then tech this time. They also said that any game running on current gen systems should run fine on Switch.
I can imagine more intensive games might have more trouble on Switch. Might have to render at 720p. I think a lot of games will be that resolution.
We also learned that Nvidias new Shield device uses the X1 too. So the implication there is that the benefits of Pascal architecture (Tegra) were not that great and unsuited to gaming hardware. It's still the most modern portable tech they have it seems. And they haven't developed the tech further, as it stands.
EDITED for link up top.
Good luck in the move edge!! Hopefully you move to a warmer place.
Switch news is heating up! Price rumors all over, $200? $250? Can't wait for next week. Friday morning at 9:30 there's will be a treehouse showing off all the games they revealed on the last night with the big event.
Today me and my best friend moved my retro console collection (NES, SNES, N64, GB, GBA, GBASP) from my parent's basement to my house. The had been there for about 6 years, and we tested all the home consoles. Seems like the NES died out on me. It starts, but the TV doesn't receive a signal. We ended up playing some Pilotwings, F-zero 64, Mario Tennis and Diddy Kong racing. Best gaming evening we've had in ages. The N64 cartridges still had their saves intact, and the rumble pack even worked, despite the batteries proudly showing the text 'use by 2009'.
We didn't get around to trying out the portables, but I did notice that the transparent screen protection of my original GB has come loose. I'll need to glue it back on somehow.
Great experience overall, good to see my old collection back, even if the NES and SNES console and games aren't the ones we bought back when I was a kid.
Those are the best kind of gaming nights Supreme.
Good luck, or have fun, Edge! I'm not sure which appropriate given your moving-related gif.
Just use crazy glue. I've done it. Don;t know if you can still get replacement protector screens from Nintendo directly, but I got one about a decade a go off their website for very cheap.
