Nintendo Switch #4: More than 1 year later

[Supermassive]

It really isn't, though.

Here's a completion video that didn't seem to use motion controls and barely used any rolls at all. I approached my Koopa races very similarly purely by using similar running/jumping/leaping/hat-jumping combinations, and it seemed like a pretty effective method. In fact, that's what made them fun, as opposed to all the endless fetch quest moons.

I didn't do all of them myself (only certain that I fully completed the first two), but my experience is more consistent with GreatKeith's than yours, personally.

Fair enough. I stand corrected. Thanks for the vid.

Anyone here have the Switch lite? Personally I kinda like the more handheld driven design, I don't really care about not being able to play it on my TV. Wondering if it's worth picking it up on sale this weekend.

It has a d-pad, so it’s already better than the normal Switch, imo, lol. Trying to play any 8-bit or 16-bit game with the analog stick or the d “buttons” on the included joycon is seriously making me lose my mind. I’m considering trying the d-pad mod.

You won’t regret getting the Lite. Solid handheld.

Some decent sales are up, bought a few indies I wanted to try: Cat Quest, Don't Starve, and The Flame and the Flood.

I'm still holding out hope for a single player oriented set of joycons with a proper D-pad and some bigger buttons/joysticks. These things hurt my hands.

I have money for you Nintendo.

For anyone looking to buy a Switch as a gift this year, a Walmart-exclusive bundle (includes Mario Red joycons, Mario carrying case, and $20 eShop credit) is releasing tomorrow:



(This is the newer model with better battery life, BTW.)

 

[No Fun Shogun]

It's a couple of years old, but Cat Quest is astonishingly a really great game. Kind of a baby's first action RPG customization-wise, but the gameplay loop is very enjoyable and the aesthetic is just quality.

Would recommend. Going to add the sequel to my wish list.

And the SNES Mini is no longer the only (legal) way to play Star Fox 2.

awesome! I was starting to think Nintendo was going to ignore the platform. Super Punch-Out!! is one of my all-time faves.

I'll be finally be attending into this century and getting my boys a Switch for Xmas. Got my hands on the Black Friday Mario Kart bundle. We're hoping to hold off Fortnite as long as possible so we go Splatoon 2 instead. Is it any good?

 

[Taro Tsujimoto]

Ooh, now this is interesting (same developer as, and possibly a sequel to, Golf Story).

100% excited for this.

Awesome!

Golf Story was great.

This may be one of the most hype game for me this year.

 

[Taro Tsujimoto]

Oh hey, new Tetris 99 update:

 

[Frankie Blueberries]

I got Okami (never played the original) and South Park the Fractured But Whole during the black Friday sales. I should have a big enough backlog now to last the next year or so.

Bravely Default II was just revealed at the game awards. Coming out next year.

I have no idea if those games are any good or not, but it might be the worst name for a game I've ever seen.

 

[aleshemsky83]

What is it with Nintendo and calling the 3rd game in the series number 2?

 

[Daisy Jane]

I am beyond excited for BRavely default 2.

 

[Big McLargehuge]

Holy terrible name. I read that Bravely Default II was announced and wondered why they're porting a mildly disappointing 3DS game that was quickly forgotten about.

I mean, this is way better. The first half of the original Bravely Default was ****ing fantastic, so there's hope to be had that they can get it right, but every single game in this series has an atrocious name for one reason or another. Square's love of putting an English dictionary into a blender and naming their games from the resulting smoothie is bad enough without throwing in inconsistent numbering.

 

[Gardner McKay]

I may have asked about this at some point earlier but I'll ask again because the definite edition is on sale. How does Diablo 3 run on the switch? Also have people enjoyed it on switch?

I've had no problems. Maybe a frame rate issue or two here or there but overall, performance is solid.

 

[Randy Butternubs]

What a trailer

 

[Tasty Biscuits]

What a trailer

Haha, love it

 

[Shareefruck]

It's kind of one of those trailers that gets you really interested and impressed until you realize what it's a trailer for, and then you become kind of disappointed, though.

I would much rather play the hypothetical game that I imagined titled "Goddamn Super Hero" than I would No More Heroes 3.
