Nintendo Switch #3: More than 1 year later

[Pilky01]

Outrage about Labo was particularly dumb because it wasn’t part of a direct. It was actually announced much like this exercise thing, shortly after a “real” Direct. Nintendo had even tweeted something about how it was a presentation about educational stuff or something and not about games. But there wasn’t really much outrage about it. Most of that noise came from the people pre-emptively being outraged about the outrage they were anticipating.

I’m curious to see what this is. I actually used the EA Fit game for a while on the Wii and I kinda liked it. Was great at least for automatic tracking for squats and stretching and shit. I don’t like that nobody in this trailer looked to be breaking a sweat. This looked more party than exercise.

It’s the final fighter of the fighters pass.

I know I'm late to the party, but OMFG JEDI OUTCAST PORT!

I'm very excited

 

[Commander Clueless]

I will say the Direct wasn't super exciting for me, personally.

Although I have friends who wax philosophical regarding Xenoblade, so I guess now I could finally pick it up...


Little Town Hero might be interesting.

So apparently Nintendo filed a patent for a hinged Joycon:

i want them a little wider, bigger buttons. i prefer the "pro" controller.
not that i cant play with the joycons. but i would love that change instead of the angle.

Celeste 50% off in NA. Came to $13.84 total CDN.

Gruelling platformers aren't my thing, but at that price I will give it a shot.

 

[MAHJ71]

Started playing Torchlight 2... and so far I'm kinda hooked. Only $19.99.

Played it on steam a few years back. Love that the Switch is getting ports like this, so good!

Waiting for them to file a patent for a joycon without idiotic rubber caps that let dust into the components.

Absolutely wild what they did with the Celeste DLC. 1500 deaths after 5 1/2 hours, and feeling very discouraged that my quest to get every golden berry in the game will now end up one berry short.

you can do this

Well finally hit the 40 hour mark on Fire Emblem. Only 200 or so more to go.

So Nintendo elaborated more on that joycon ring doohickey, and it's pretty much the new Wii Fit:

We need this back:

I like the jogging in place concept for moving your character forward using a small leg strap but at the end of the day it looks like another gimmicky fitness device and game for a console. Nothing wrong with that and hopefully they take away the stuff I liked from that presentation and put forward a better product next time.

That looks....fragile.

As someone who has monster ass hands, yes please.

I would pay for a "large print" version of the joycons, even if it came at the cost of the second d-pad for multiplayer that I've never once used.


It's playable with a normal joycon, but I have to take frequent mini-breaks or else I start cramping up.

Three Houses officially has me hooked.

[Daisy Jane]

Yes it is. It’s fantastic.

I'd recommend never opening Octopath Traveler: it might sell for a pretty penny eventually and the game is really weak. Great production values but not a lot of fun.

 

[Shareefruck]

Celeste is one of the tightest and most well designed platformers ever. The only objection I can see is if you reject platformers as a genre altogether, IMO.

It handily beats just about everything that isn't a top-shelf 2D Mario from Nintendo's prime. And even then.... you could probably still reasonably argue in its favor.
