Seems to have massive performance issues that get worse the longer you play. Hope they manage to fix that. Was looking forward to playing it coop with a friend.
Do you use the official Nintendo dock and power supply? I know there were some issues a few years ago with third party accessories bricking consoles and firmware updates can cause that sort of thing to resurface
Can you share more about the symptoms? You say “it does not get past the Nintendo logo.” Do you mean the “Switch” logo? What’s it do when it gets to the Nintendo logo? Hang on the logo forever? Does the screen go black after a second or three? If the latter, after the screen goes off, does the power button repeat the performance, or do you have to hold it down for a while (to shut it down), let go for a sec, and hold it down again to make it boot up again before it responds?
You can of course send it to Nintendo to get it fixed. That’s probably your best bet.
But if you can’t or don’t want to go that direction, you might be able to resurrect your system with homebrew/hacking. That’d require getting set up to hack your Switch, though. And might void your warranty.
First thing I’d try if you want to go that direction is to just run Hekate (a fancy homebrew bootloader for the Switch) and boot into Atmosphere via that. No need to set up EmuMMC just for that test, but there is some risk of getting banned from the eshop and online play if you make any changes to your Switch (like installing pirated games, for instance) and then connect to the internet.
It’s possible something went wrong with the efuses on your system and your Switch isn’t starting because it thinks you’ve hacked it and manually downgraded the OS even though you didn’t. I believe Hekate and Atmosphere would let you boot into your Switch’s OS in a way that would make your Switch ignore any efuse discrepancies. Might get you past the issue you’re having.
But again, there are some risks with this approach and if you’re wanting to get it fixed by Nintendo, I’d say probably your best bet is just to send it to Nintendo.
Yeah, Atmosphere might be a way forward if you wanted to go that direction. (Assuming a) the issue is an efuse issue and b) you have the right version of the Switch. You can check if you do by checking your serial number against the list here.)
Only other suggestion I’d have is to get in touch with Nintendo.
Games that hook players are often designed to be just difficult enough to be truly challenging, while allowing players to achieve small accomplishments that compel them to keep playing. In that respect, the design of video games is similar to the design of gambling casinos, which will allow players to have small “wins” that keep them playing.>
Going over addictive design elements like this can at least let people be more aware of why they keep wanting to play.
I mean, that quote just described game design for fun games though. A game that is fun will be addictive, but not in the same way gambling is. To most people, gambling isn’t fun. The act of sitting at a machine and repeatedly pressing the same button or pulling the same lever is not fun. The same repeated graphics are not fun. Repeatedly losing money? Also not fun. But, the prospect of winning big is exciting. This feeling, the desire to feel like you traded a small value for a large value and won big, greed, is exploited in many modern games.
A fun game presents a challenge, something just difficult enough for you to not steamroll it, but not so difficult that you want to quit the game. A fun game gives players rewards to incentivize them to keep playing, and generally, the best games reward players with better items or further level progress or additional story content. The reward never comes from the player spending real world money, but rather the time the player has spent in the game, or achieving some task, or being highly skilled. This is fun game design, and fun is addictive by design.
A game that exploits greed typically does so in ways that are hidden at a surface level. Generally, mechanics that are obfusicated from the player which involve rewards such as loot boxes that are purchased with a premium currency, this is the most obvious. Nobody blinks an eye if a blue uniform for your army guy is 400 crystals, because you can buy a pack of 200 crystals that gives you an extra 250 for free for $5 on your first purchase. But show that the blue uniform is $11, and people will complain. And I mean, yeah. Its the color blue. But now there is a problem. You have 50 crystals left. But nothing in the store is 50 crystals. Not to worry, you can buy another pack that gives you 550 more for only $10. So you buy it and get that cool golden scope that cost 350 crystals. But now you have a problem. You have 150 crystals left, and nothing in the store is… Wait, what is this? Lucky Chance? I can spend 10 crystals for the chance to get a legendary golden uniform? 0.01% drop rate? Yeah, I will just try 15 times. I didnt get it, but now the second pull costs me 15? No, Im good. But now what do I do with 140 crystals? You can see where this goes.
Also, the developers add a notification icon to the store page that doesn’t go away unless you click on something in the store. This is one of the big differences between a game that is fun and a game that exploits greed to make it feel like fun.
A friend got me into New World when he started playing, never played an MMO more for more than a week but this one seems like it might hold me for awhile. Waiting on D4 season 2. A little bit of cyberpunk 2077 since the dlc dropped and Project Zomboid when I’m in the mood. ALSO KATAMARI DAMACI.
Ooo you play project zomboid I haven’t seen the sun since I started playing that game I’ve gotten 850.1 hours put into it i think I joined on build 39 when they introduced vehicles
The next major update is going to be glorious. If you haven’t been following it I suggest you should. They post updates on their progress every few weeks.
I’ve been following I can’t wait for animals in the game I love surviving in the cabins outside muldraugh and they made a blog post where they said they were working on putting some factory equipment stuff in the game which looks sick as well
Yea the buildings and basements open up soooo much potential as well. Really excited for what they’ve cooked up. Also the new crafting system. I’m so ready lol. Besides all the mods breaking its gona be a great time when it does launch.
Started playing Starfield and it really made me want to revisit fallout 4, I’m now deep back into a new play through of Fo4 with 22 hours played in the last 2 weeks. Really enjoying it again.
I started Starfield and dropped it after about 3ish hours (happy for you if you liked it, I just couldn’t find anything interesting there), beat Lies of P (could be the best of the non-Bandai soulsbourne games), and just started up The Lamplighters League (a fun X-com style game that’s good, but REALLY poorly optimized, so buyer beware).
Looking forward to Spider-man 2 though, only a few more weeks!
It’s a ton of fun, and I hope you check it out! As an fyi on the combat, it is very perfect block centric like Seikiro, which I know is not everyone’s favorite Fromsoft game. I think the demo that’s out there gives you a pretty substantial preview though, so feel free to judge for yourself :)
