Theres at least something for everyone and lots for the broader-minded gamers. Pretty much every game, save for Voez (don't love rhythm games or Korean music) and Shovel Knight (bought it for Wii U, wasnt able to make much progess) is very much my poo poo.

Haven't bought Blaster Master Zero yet because I'm concerned its a hardcore SNES style game and I'm bad at those (see Shovel Knight) but I probably will eventually.

Blaster Master for me was a game that enjoyed robbing me of all my health for no reason but not killing me so while I only died a couple times it was pretty stressful nonetheless. The worm enemies are seriously poorly designed and made me very mad at video games.

The final level and boss though are all worth the struggle though. It's super good.

We've still got King Knight's campaign on the way. The other platforms will be getting the full package, Switch just went first because Nintendo helped extensively with QA for Specter of Torment, I think.

Edit: Speak of the devil.

That's cool. I'll probably pick it up again on Switch just because I feel guilty for all the excellent free stuff. I still need to play Plague Knight.

I promise it's not just a bunch of goons trying to justify their Switch purchases: Neo Turf Masters is a great game, and all the Neogeo titles have great VC options. I was unhappy with the shot timer so I bumped it from 30 seconds to 2 minutes.

snake game is really good, i am enjoying myself slithering around and making hissssss sounds

once you get the hang of the controls it's extremely satisfying to climb up big structures really quick

and if you're not trying to get all the orbs/coins you are not playing snake game right, all the really fun challenges come from the coins in particular

I made each credit give 99 rests since it's not really part of the game and was just there to get money.

I don't think I've ever actually enjoyed a golf game, thus why I imagine its still niche since there are a lot of people in the same boat about this sport genre.

100 percent serious. Neo Geo Turf Masters is for you if you like one of these things:

puzzle games

Golf


It's a good loving game.

Not sure if anyone has any else has experience shopping with H-E-B, but they claim to have Switches w/ Grey JoyCons in stock. My only experience ordering online was ordering a pro controller last weekend that is due to arrive tomorrow.

If you have a basic understanding of the aim of golf, it's a pretty fun game. It's not super amazing, but it's a good way to kill a half hour. The game picks the right club, all you have to do is aim for the fairway and sometimes look at how far away the pin is and decide how much power you need. I'd say it's worth the seven bucks or whatever.


^^^ WTF, I had no idea I could order stuff from HEB online.

Obscure local retail chains seem to be THE place to get switches, since people don't go to those stores for electronics.

Well, HEB is a grocery store. Even at an HEB Plus (similar to super walmart), most people aren't going to use that as their main video game store. Doubly so for online. I had no idea HEB sold stuff online and I used to work at one and it's the only grocery store I go to.

I still like how it has "Butt" in its name.

Eitherway the pro controller online seems sold out, I'm going to not post about this anywhere large so some online friends get a shot at one, since I highly doubt they're lying about stock.

Metal Slug needs online.

I will buy literally the entire series if that's a feature because Metal Slug is amazing. Except the one that doesn't let you play as Tarma. That one sucks.
