I've literally cried over whether or not to purchase this golf game today, christ.

Please don't cry :( I've played a lot of golf games and while I love them all this is the only one that truly feels deterministic. It's given me powerful, revelatory experiences about what an arcade game should be like. I recommend it unless you particularly need the money.

Not that I condone :filez: or anything, but you could, of course, try it on FightCade first if you haven't already

:siren: Solution to Switch not connecting to the eShop :siren:

You need to RESTART the Switch.

Steps
1.) On the Home screen HOLD down the power button and a menu will appear
2.) Select Power Options
3.) Select Restart (Or Power Off)
4.) Switch will restart and you'll be able to connect to the eShop again!

Sleep mode will NOT fix this, it has to be a proper restart or power cycle.

I tried manual DNS settings, turning on my old 2.4Ghz wifi, tethering to my phone, etc, etc.
Just needed a restart

I cant believe people are so starved for games that they are buying an old rear end golf game on the Japanese store.

Mario Kart 8 cant come soon enough.

Though i'm only just starting Breath Of The Wild. My doctors appointment always has an hour long wait, so I bring my Switch today and the place is empty and I only wait 10 minutes.

Is the sheikah slate carrying case worth $70 on eBay? I picked up the "quick start" carry case that had a screen protector and rubber grips but I've been eyeing the Zelda one. I saw it has a Velcro feature to hold the switch in place so that's neat.

If it's not worth the buy, what are some other cases worth buying? I feel like the case I have doesn't have enough room and I'm constantly traveling for work. Something with a hard shell would be nice.

Haha, I'm glad I never played Binding of Isaac before the Switch version came out. I might be fiending on this game harder than I did Zelda. It might be a little premature to say, but it feels like the anti-drought game. 2018 could see like no Switch games (for some reason) and I probably wouldn't even mind.

Hell fuckin' no it's not; it's just a case. The RDS Industries hard case is really similar to the Zelda one, and it's only $20. A little hard to find right now, but it's better to wait than to pay $70. They make a bigger one for $30 that'll fit the entire contents of the Switch.

If you're going to spend 70 dollars on a case, at least get Waterfield's...

I fixed it by changing my DNS to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 as per some reddit thread. Worked for me, but I probably should've just restarted.

You helped me through a really dark time and I thank you for that, kind goon. It's not the money, just the shame of purchasing a potentially subpar game. I've slept on this issue and discussed it with my partner for a few hours now, I think I may buy the golf game today.

Neo Turf Masters is the greatest arcade golf game of all time. The controls are great, so they made the courses really crazy to compensate. Plus, stunning rotoscoped graphics and a jamming soundtrack

Even though I'm in the US it pisses me off that they can't figure out how to give times in UTC for a Global Testfire event. Especially when they scheduled it for a day where DST has only started in some regions.

Out of all of them, I think Splashdown is the JAM. The fact you can do it during a super jump to do a great surprise kill is wonderful.

I looked at the RDS case and a distressing number of the reviews talk about how it smells like an ashtray and made their switch and hands and such stink like crazy. Did any of you run into this? Are they all like that or is it some QC issue?

The Hori one looks pretty good but I'm worried about availability.

Edit: gently caress it, Amazon has a good return policy. If it stinks I'll return it.

They do a pretty good job in Splatoon grouping by skill level in Ranked Battles, so you shouldn't get crushed by pros, generally.

On that note I'm kinda hoping we don't need to grind in Turf Wars to Level 10 before doing Ranked Battles this time, but probably...

I hope that turf wars are a part of ranked battles, and likewise that all the tower/rain maker/splat zone all can be played unranked.

Yeah, at first I thought it looked worthless (cause to get that close in most situations you'd already be dead), but it's a wonderful balance to the jump indicators
