Nintendo Switch #2: 1 year later

[Belieber]

Getting closer towards the end of Octopath.. all about finished chapter 3 for all characters and most of my characters are at least decently leveled. Should be ready to go for at least a few of the lvl 4 chapters.



Once you find the library good enough and you get one, you are in for a treat =)

However and this is just a personal opinion of mine there's a lot of exclusives though and when people say there arent it just makes me wonder what "many exclusives" actually are. How many games are many in less than 1.5 years of existance?

Arms, Splatoon 2, Mario+Rabbids: Kingdom Battle, Super Mario Odyssey, Snipperclips, Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Mario Tennis Aces and Octopath Traveller are all stellar games and exclusives. Obviously there's more minor excluvies as well but I just went with the big ones.

But as you put it, those who didnt own a Wii U, are in for a treat.. just add games like MK8DX, Zelda: BotW, Bayonetta 2, Hyrule Warriors, Pokken, Captain Toad, Donkey Kong Country and more, you've got yourself an insane lineup.

Octopath is one I am excited to play eventually.

The secret hidden Smash mode has been revealed...

Masahiro Sakurai was asked by a reporter who they were putting in the new smash brothers game.
He replied “everyone”
The reporter asked for clarification.

 

[Emperoreddy]

It is kind of crazy how Smash is becoming a digital video game museum.

Save Data Cloud backup in compatible games

I mean, alright then

The 3DS has a lot of really, really good games.

Which should eventually find their way to the Switch at sometime (talking about Super Mario, Pikman, Samus, Starfox, Luigi's Mansion, etc.). Pokemon is already coming to the Switch in the form of two games, that's huge in Switch's potential for the future.

Too many great smaller games on Switch. Hollow Knight and Dead Cells are calling to me but there is just so much esle I want to play more before spending more money.

Really good Metroidvania game. Atmosphere is great and the controls are really tight. Can't wait to get back into it after my work weekend.

Golf Story!!

Working on a GameCube collection now. I want to beat each beatable game on the system too. Game 1 - X-Men Legends.

I've bought Okami, Shovel Knight, Sonic Mania Plus, and I forget what else in the last few weeks. Have barely played any of them. It's like Steam all over again...

I've held strong.

Everytime I look at my Steam list of games I get bummed at how many games I got that I know I won't ever get the urge to play.

No more!

All the new games and I have spent the last week getting hooked on Zelda again.

I am gunning for a 'perfect' Master Mode file. Doubtful I will get all the korok seeds (as soon as I max out my weapon and bow slots I am never wearing the Korok mask again) but all the shrines + DLC seems very doable. Just beat the third of four temples, the Rito temple, which I should have beaten first because of how useful its reward is.

Anyway, still a tremendous game, I have played it for literally hundereds of hours, but those temples are weak. Pretty sure I beat the Rito one last night in like 10 minutes (granted this is also my second run through them).

Another indie game on Switch that I've been hooked by recently is Iconoclasts. The gameplay is pretty fun, the animations are beautiful, and the story is surprisingly deep. If my completion rate vs time played is anything to go on, it's about a 12 hour game. Not bad for having been made by one person.

 

[Pilky01]

Looking forward to Undertale as well.

Man, practically skipping and entire generation of indie games is really paying off with Switch.

I'm seriously surprised you never played it on the PC yet. Legit surprised. I mean, it runs on literally anything and it requires only a keyboard.

I downloaded it on Steam and played it for about 5 minutes. I just don't have a good desktop setup for any sort of PC gaming so its not a very comfortable way to play games.

 

[PeterSidorkiewicz]

Anyone ever have controller issues where it keeps pausing your game and asking you to hit the top buttons to configure your controller back to the device? This kept happening while I was in handheld mode. Could it be I had 2 joycons slid into the device and my other two joycons were in the bag sitting next to me and it kept recognizing the non-connected joycons? It was highly annoying.

You are supporting the devs at least.

Diablo 3 will be coming to the Switch

 

[Papa Francouz]

Just finished Iconoclasts. What a great game. Very rarely can platformers make me feel anything except for frustration when playing them, but Iconoclasts did. It has a really, really good and deep story, the world is built in very creative and imaginative ways. One guy made this game. One.

If you guys ever get a chance to play this game, I highly recommend it. Might be a hidden gem at the moment.

I know there are some issues with the game, but Mario Tennis Aces is hella entertaining. I've been doing simple tournament for couple hours now.

2-player on “simple” mode is a lot of fun.

I've already got it for WiiU, but I may pick this up for the Switch. Can't decide though.
