Miiverse yes, street passes no. I think that would tax the battery too much.

I can't believe I wasted a couple minutes going through the last couple of pages instead of tackling these dozen guys guarding a tower in Zelda.

Maybe cause I grew up at some point I don't get the impulse to go read about things I don't care about/hate. That seems like a sad thing to do with one's self.

To people who have played both, what's better, Horizon or Zelda?

Wondering if I should finally start Horizon or not, but can't stop the Zelda train.

They might both be open world games but they are very different in practice so comparisons are a bit lacking. Horizon more akin to something like the Witcher 3 rather than Zelda.

I did however drop Horizon hard when I got Zelda and I'm still not done with it. I like both for very different reasons.

To be fair everyone knows you need to sacrifice a translator to Suda. Once he breaks them over his knee and absorbs their broken career hopes from them he will create a game for your system

i really want to get Voez because I like the phone version but it's $25 dollars and also I'm weird and want to keep fingerprints off my fancy new device's screen for as long as possible

Binding of Isaac is fun and cool but it's crazy it's $40. As a brand new player first one ever playing on Switch it seems more like a $10 mobile phone game like rogue legacy. Fun though.

1 - stop posting about other people's posting.

2 - when does the UK get eshop updates because I would like Binding of Isaac.

I'd still like discounts on Deluxe games so Wii U owners who felt burned are encouraged to pick up the Switch. Something like "Hey, you registered these games on your Wii U account, so here's 50% off on Mario Kart and Smash Deluxe, thanks for supporting us in spite of our garbage fire system."

Not that this is going to happen. Not from the company that charges five dollars for the privilege of owning Super Mario Bros. on another system.

Also real content: Get voez if you like rhythm games. $25 isn't bad when it costs like $100+ to get all the same songs on mobile.

Just let it shine through
Isaac seems to be a good version. Runs fine. Didn't see any huge 4x rooms, but the big L shaped ones loaded fine with no hitching that you see on Vita and 3DS.

One thing I don't like about playing it handheld is the Joycon stick is so small that I kept moving diagonally when I didn't mean to-- same problem as the Vita, there's just not enough dead zone at the diagonal directions so you have to be pressing exactly right if you want to move in a straight line to the right. It's good enough for handheld though, and I'm sure it'll be fine with the Pro controller. You can also use the arrow buttons to move, but this game has analog movement, so I feel like you lose something in doing that.

Anyways, excited my new console has my favorite game :toot:

Well, you might not like the music. It's... not terrible but not really my bag. Also the interface isn't great, it's hard to tell at a glance what I've played already.

Voez is fantastic and a must have for rhythm game lovers. It works super well, even with the tempered glass screen protector installed.

Does the Switch still use wifi while in sleep mode? Troubleshooting for something else and can't find an easy answer.

Voez being able to change and move around its columns is a neat gimmick and they do cool things with it visually and otherwise. It also means that sometimes even easier charts do some cool stuff so they can be worth checking out even if you have a lot of rhythm game experience.

If you think about it, every sequel is just the same game with completely new things, meaning that if you own anything, there's no reason to purchase anything that comes after it.

I finally folded and bought a Switch. Sadly Zelda was sold out and when the clerk tried talking up 1, 2 Switch, I decided to hold off on picking up anything there.

So what is worth playing on the Switch that isn't Zelda?

After realizing that I didn't like Breath of the Wild, I've been playing a lot of Fast Racing RMX. I loved Fast Racing Neo and this is just that but better. My Switch is basically my FAST Racing system and I'm OK with that.

Isaac showed up while on my lunch break. I was concerned, because I removed Zelda and inserted the cartridge, and nothing. i had to take it out and put it back in two more times for it to show up. Weird. Game plays just fine though.

Because people who didn't buy a WiiU told them they got burned, much like people who haven't purchased a Switch are saying how it is poo poo with "no games". Like the PS4 or XB1 did any better, or really any console release.

Will the Pro controller charge if connected to the side ports on the dock with the Switch in sleep mode? Or does it have to be on? Finally got my first low battery on the Pro controller after 2 weeks. Much less than the 4-6 months I got out of the WiiU pro controller.

What kind of music does it have? Maybe I should download the iOS version to preview it.

Doing a hard mode run with 0 unlocks was... interesting.

Now to spend 500 hours playing Isaac in bed in portable mode.
