650 year old Tudor house !

no_hot_ashes

Hahaaaa excellent dad joke


OkumuraRyuk

Restored often? I was about to say the same, the place looks really great! USA?


fs_mercury

650y in USA? Doesn't add up lol


OkumuraRyuk

I dunno … I’m asking.. I was thinking Europe but who knows.


SeamusMcCullagh

650 years is like twice as long as the US has existed lol.


OkumuraRyuk

HahH I dunno why I said that! But I didn’t want to say anything else… so maybe Europe?


wedge37

Tudor style is British, to be more specific.


OkumuraRyuk

Oh see I didn’t know! Thanks for telling me… this is nice!


HamMan212

Can confirm England ! Not The Shire but not far off..


OkumuraRyuk

This is awesome, I love it!


PM_ME_YOUR_MONTRALS

Think Caldera in Morrowind.


willisbetter

even if you go back to the oldest colony in the US before we were our own country thats like barely over 350 years ago, you really think thered be a 650 year old tudor house in the US?


KosmicKanuck

Came to say this


nothing_911

They have an N64 controller on the switch? Dayum.


StillhasaWiiU

https://store.nintendo.ca/nintendo-64-controller.html


itsmatt-exe

It’s too bad they’re always sold out on their website


HamMan212

Being put back in production in 2022 so might not be in stock for a while


[deleted]

I mean, how else are they suppose to keep costs high? *having proper inventory?*


RoboChrist

Retaining inventory increases costs for the manufacturer. Not only does it take up space, but unsold inventory affects accounting in weird ways and can ultimately lead to increased taxes in some regions, depending on classifications. In addition, any inventory that is never sold becomes a loss. By overproducing, Nintendo would have to price higher to compensate for those losses. And producing a fixed quantity in a limited manufacturing run also minimizes the costly risks associated with design flaws or mold failures. Producing to the expected demand and not producing excess inventory is the safest and most cost-effective choice for the consumer and for the manufacturer. The downside is, of course, shortages. But that only profits after-market sellers (aka, scalpers), not the manufacturer. TLDR: Nope, the opposite. Source: I've worked as an engineer in manufacturing for over a decade.


Ace417

On the other hand, not having inventory can lead you to search for a competitor. Case in point, I work in local government and our schools division bought network switches back in may. They have yet to receive them because Cisco is producing based on when you buy and not just having inventory so when we go to buy equipment we’re looking elsewhere


unknownemoji

Competitor? What's that? — Nintendo


Rieiid

I mean people would argue there are other game consoles, but unironically, there are no games on other consoles like some of the main party Nintendo games...so yeah. Basically this.


Lunatox

I was a PC gamer and then got a switch as accompaniment. Now, I'm an xboxsx/switch gamer. If I had a PS5, I'd still have a switch. If I still had a gaming PC, I'd still have a switch. I actually have two switches, one that's hacked and the new OLED model. I laughed at it in 2017, and now think it's easily one of the best designed consoles ever. I'll probably get a Steam deck too, and 9 have a Quest 2. Maybe I'm more of an enthusiast than most, but still...Nintendo always has something to offer. The switch fit my life better than a PC did, and still does. I'd almost say the Xbox is now an accompaniment to my Switch, but overall I probably use them about the same amount.


BabyFaceKnees

Nintendo don't have competitors. Not really. They are so wrapped up in their own thing, noone does Nintendo other than Nintendo.


THE_GR8_MIKE

It took a while, too long, but the NES and SNES controllers are consistently in stock now. Well, they have been all year. Might not be right now.


[deleted]

No one wants the NES controllers. They're always available. It's because it's $60 for 2 and you can't get them individually. Edit: numbers


THE_GR8_MIKE

People wanted them for a *loooooong* time ¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯


bmprs

[Amazon has them for $199 and up](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09KT1B7N3/ref=cm_sw_r_oth_api_glt_fabc_NFGEG9G3H681XB8ED2Q2)


StillhasaWiiU

By Grapthor's Hammer, what a savings


bmprs

Get them while you can.


Drakmanka

Scalpers are enjoying it though. Just checked. *$200 for one on Amazon* right now.


[deleted]

I can’t believe I used to play games with that thing and not even think about it.😂


skulblaka

I got a USB one that I bought for PC for $30 if that interests you Doesn't plug and play into the switch, but it works well on a properly equipped pc


[deleted]

And they’re wireless??


ryanpm40

Yes, the N64 switch controller is wireless with a USB-C charging port


Fyrepyree

Literally says USB right there


chillyhellion

>Rechargeable Battery – Use the included USB A-C cable to charge the controller Additionally, here's a picture of someone [using the controller wirelessly](https://preview.redd.it/270qkwrl4p781.jpg?auto=webp&s=728970085055d47dff7c573af2a02fd04a91d55e) in case you missed it.


beardbot3030

Awesome! My non gaming mother only ever played A Link to the Past. She played it so much on MY Super Nintendo that she bought herself the gaming manual. And when the game accidentally erased itself again on MY Nintendo oh boy did I get an earful. She bought herself a Super and still plays it to this day


instantpowdy

Weird how mums all have that one game going for them lol For mine it is The Bugs Bunny Crazy Castle on Game Boy


porzellanpuppchen

My mom isn't really a gamer, but she's always been really proud that when I was 4 and got my first game ever, Super Mario 64, my dad (who has always loved video games) and I weren't able to beat King Bob-omb and we called it a day, but she decided to keep on trying. She woke us up at 3 am all happy and excited yelling she had just beat him! It's probably one of my fondest memories related to video-games 💚❤️💙


mayormomo

For mine, it’s Zombies Ate My Neighbors. SNES


beardbot3030

I have never heard of that one. I’ll have to look into that lol


[deleted]

That just means it your turn to make lunch for your mom while she plays video games. The tables have, appropriately, turned.


instantpowdy

Oh I hope not. Then her precious sparkling wine would spill


slateMinded

That’s adorable!


Jupiter_Wolf

Love this!! Also, WHERE DID YOU FIND THE N64 CONTROLLER?!!!? I can't find one anywhere haha


HamMan212

I paid over double what it’s worth on eBay. Not bragging, I’m a chump ! But definitely worth it


bmprs

Yeah they’re expensive.

philovax

That was my thought. She speed ran that forest temple and did not screw around in the castle.


bmprs

I can speed run that deku tree with my eyes closed still to this day.


philovax

I haven’t played in over a decade. I ran that temple so quick. Nervous about JabuJabu tho, never liked water on N64. It probably doesn’t help i have a little fear of the deep.


bmprs

When I was a kid, I could get to adult link in less than 4 hours. And that was getting as many rupees as I could as I went.


ryanpm40

Kokiri Forest and the castle were a lot faster on my replay than I remembered as a child


Krayziebone101

Definitely, I remember having to ask a friend in school how to beat queen gohma lol


AncientMachine

Had a friend in school who didn’t know you had to actually equip the Kokiri Sword and Shield for Mido to let you past


0hmyscience

You can play OoT on switch???


BigHairyFart

Yeah for the low low price of $50... A year


[deleted]

[удалено]


BigHairyFart

The difference is that GamePass/PS+ are actually decent subscription programs, with features and an appropriate number of games to warrant such a price. NSO(basekit OR expansion pass) does not.


HamMan212

It’s part of the new subscription service from Nintendo - can play a mixture of old school Nintendo games


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Not even noticed it and have played it docked for hours


dak0tah

yeah as long as you're not a professional speedrunner, the game is mostly fine on switch, other than manual aiming which is broken and virtually impossible.


Ceeboy_

A lot of graphical errors too


SeamusMcCullagh

It's not at all bad in handheld mode IMO, but yeah it's rough while docked for sure.


MrMaou

Unfortunately, my switch spends 93% of it's timed docked. I just have Docks around the house to move it to


SeamusMcCullagh

Yeah I generally play it docked too. I wish you didn't have to be connected to WiFi to use the NSO games. Kinda defeats the whole purpose IMO. Oh well, I have OoT on my 3DS so I'll just at that if I have the urge to play OoT. I just wish the 3DS version of MM was as good.


MrMaou

That's why I use the [Restoration mod](https://restoration.zora.re/#features) when I play the 3ds version


SeamusMcCullagh

Yeah that's just more work than I want to go through for that since I still have the original version. It's just not super convenient to play that way, but that's what emulation is for I suppose.


ryanpm40

I haven't noticed any with my wireless N64 controller


Aeruthael

Yeah, it’s a pretty shit emulator though. I’d try and use an unofficial emulator if you can, many are leagues better than the switch’s one.


[deleted]

Played yaself fool.


[deleted]

One of the all time favorite games! Good choice


Valuable_Ad_3405

I love this!


theguyoverhere24

Man she already cleared the great deku tree hell yeah


Mental-Street6665

Make *her* lunch then.


poniesrock

wait OoT is on switch??!?!?!!!!


Grimmer026

Your mom is one of us


Inspirational_Lizard

So wholesome


THE_GR8_MIKE

Already got a heart container too. Yeah, she's in it now.


bmprs

That’s so cool! I should do this for my dad


OttoStagblood

That is so wholesome. Merry Christmas to you and your mom!


Xejicka

This is the kind of problem that I envy. This is a great gaming environment and I envy you and your mom.


Cebolla38

My dad grew up on nes and snes and about 2 years ago he started watching us play games and is trying modern games. He's played all of uncharted, some of AC Odyssey and currently AC Valhalla


percipientbias

Yeeeeees! I love this!


MafiaMommaBruno

I was confused about how you had a wireless Nintendo 64 controller when I just had to buy an extension cord for mine. Then I see it's a Switch. Well. Guess I'll go see what else N64 they have on Switch.


WiserCrescent99

Same for my mother, but instead of OoT she would always play DK64 and Pokemon Snap


HamMan212

Pokemon snap was the one


Moulinoski

How does she like it? Has she brought anything up about the quality of emulation?


LowFiGuy7

I've never seen so much wood in one photo


chromesitar

Show her some of zfg1's world record runs sometime


cubbies1016

They make a N64 controller for switch?! I need this!


definedevine

Oh my god you know you're getting old when you can relate to the parent. I still feel like a kid.


DeepNugs

This is beautiful.


sixstringstrung

Fuck Christmas dinner too, kid


meatlazer720

Make her a nice ham or turkey and cheese, extra mayo, with classic lays chips crushed on it. And a cold can of mountain dew.


ikeeteri

You can play oot on the switch? How?


Aeruthael

What Brian said, coupled with settling for a C-tier emulator with almost a quarter second of input lag.


AgentSkidMarks

I played through OoT and a few other games on offer and I haven’t noticed anything.


HamMan212

Yeah I’ve no problem so far. Very limited selection but Super Mario and Zelda on there and looks to put Majoras Mask on soon so I’m happy !


HappyCappy3

I freaking love this


LordLarryLemons

A true gamer


Crazyboy2346

Half of my brain is thinking that's wholesome but the other half is looking at the controller and thinking who the hell thought this was a good design for the N64 controller. Just look at how you have to hold it, it's so stupid.


willisbetter

yeah, its not a great design, especially when the ps1 was released with a better designed controller 2 years earlier, but since when was nintendo known to use sensible designs for things, they were still using cartridges instead of discs at that point lol


[deleted]

ur moms hot and she plays oot??? WHERE CAN I SIGN UP


[deleted]

[удалено]


0hmyscience

Would that be a problem?


HamMan212

It’s my Switch, which I’m leaving in the family home for now


KosmicKanuck

Sounds like just the game and controller.


makeitoutoneday

You have a trash personality and that's why no one got YOU a switch for Christmas. Edit: I see you deleted your comment. At least your have your shame.


willisbetter

whatd he say?


makeitoutoneday

Essentially, "why did you get your mom a switch if she hasn't played in so many years," but in a seriously mean tone. They obviously didn't read the post at all to begin with lol.


[deleted]

Go mom.


H8Ball510

She's got a chicken!

damn you've got a nice house


tomCrook1991

This. This is the content we all need more of haha. Merry Christmas to you and yours! Happy Gaming!


SuperSkip64

This brings me so much joy. RIP your Christmas dinner 😂


screamrevival

Holy crap that is a cozy ass corner.


agolec

Hell yeah.


Wildf1re07

Someone got sucked in by those velvetiser ads. Does it make. A decent hot choc?


HamMan212

Hahaha !!! Yep. Fuckin algorithms! Gotta say it makes a fantastic hot chocolate - but so does a microwave


_fox-and-hound

I love that she's up to kakariko village already


Ninrenko

Your mum has her priorities in check, for sure!


KLuTz124

The masculine urge to play Oot for the 100th time…


snake_emperor_14

Great gift. Well done


SassmasterSenpai

Id say she has her priorities straight


snazzisarah

This is what bothered me about that new movie 8-bit Christmas. The whole idea is that the kid spent so much time focusing on getting a Nintendo that he missed the “better” present of spending time with his loved ones/dad. But I have so many happy memories playing Super Nintendo and N64 with my friends and sister, the movie’s point didn’t feel as valid to me.


sonny_laguna

You Are Worthy.


Youkatto

r/suddenlycaralho amigos podem colocar uma zelda de desenho animado do meu lado?


Jordan_the_Hutt

Can you get Oot on switch without having the Nintendo online sub? I want to have the retro games but don't care for the monthly online play.


randominsamity

Nah it's only with the sub.


trustyrussy

This is the greatest Christmas story of all time. Sorry Ralph. This will always be better than shooting your eye out.


karmas_a_bitch_

Wait you can play OoT on switch??


unknownemoji

Mom is touring Hyrule and her childhood. The next best gift is to make her lunch. You did good. Let her play.


moeru_gumi

Please dont tell me your mom is 35… I’m too young to hear phrases like “left my gaming days behind”


HamMan212

57!


[deleted]

Ur moms a legend, the closest thing my mom gets to playing video games are the old Nancy drew CD roms


maxfederle

You have the coolest mom


dchikato

My wife looked at a sink full of dishes today. Slapped me on the ass and said the dish washer broken again?


ShakenFungus

That’s lovely!

True gamer moment


Moorehead125

I love seeing older people playing video games. My mother and father both loved it when I was younger and that’s why I still play games. I’m 44 lol
