Modern Video Games / Animal Crossing switch

« on: April 14, 2020, 04:22:54 pm »

Hello,
I got a coworker that downloaded this for his son. His daughter wants to play it too, but it only has one save file/world etc.
Is there a way around this, so both kids have their own game?

Video Game Database Discussion / Adding game scans, Edits etc.

« on: March 08, 2015, 10:21:27 pm »

I'm going to be adding photos, barcodes, edits etc. as time permits to my collection items here. I would like to get it right the first time.

When I do the disc scans, I prefer to scan the entire inside of the package with the disc on spindle. Some get approved and some don't. I do them this way to avoid finger prints on both my scanner and discs. I didn't see any tips in the style guide referring to disk or cart artwork (unless I missed it  ).

Let me know what you think. I'll skip these edits on my end if only the disk/cart photo by itself is wanted.

Modern Video Games / Tired of not being able to play new games when you get them?

« on: February 18, 2015, 01:40:26 am »

I haven't played Xbox One for about a week. Got Dead or Alive in the mail today, turned on the Xbox One and a ~2GB update was needed (Shocker). I put the pre-order code in prior to inserting disc. The game icon said, "this could take awhile to install" LOL. It added 35 items to the queue!!!

After 45 minutes the Xbox has updated and the game is at 13% complete on the install. I'm guessing all the other playable characters in the queue will go fairly quick, but it doesn't look like I'll be playing this one today 

What ever happen to the "you'll be able to play while installing" rule? I also love when the icon says it's ready to play, but in reality only the title screen is viewable at this time.

I miss the days of playing new games within minutes of opening them...
