Where'd you get that number, I thought it was 13 gigs

Some lego game apparently takes up more than the capacity than the Switch can hold on its internal storage, even if you buy physical, lol

Oo ok I think the 38 gig game was the lego game and not Zelda

Why are so many people getting defensive about someone's microSD purchase? Even if 512GB does wind up being overkill, quite a few people who post in this thread spent $100+ on MicroSD storage when 256GB will be down to $30 by the time they break 128GB.

Everyone who sings the praises of Plague Knight says the controls eventually "clicked" for them, and it was blissful and they love the game 10x more than vanilla Shovel Knight.

Unfortunately I've never experienced that and still find the controls a bit clunky and cumbersome.

That is what Tohloo said about Plague. He started as an OK shovel knight speed runner but for him Plague just clicked and he dominates the speedrun boards for Plague Knight

I want everyone to be satisfied by having the necessary memory needed for their Switch games without having to overpay for unused space.

I also want a Koops Amiibo.

I was about to put my Switch in sleep mode and dock it because it only had 4% power left. It got stuck on the screen where you put it in sleep. It won't turn off and when I docked it, it still has the same problem. Should I just let it run out of power or is there a way to force it off? (I tried holding the power button but nothing happened.)

Hold the power button a long time, like 20 seconds.

Thankfully the power came back after a few hours.

I got these gripsthe other day and gave them a spin. I thought they were a vast improvement when trying to multiplayer and hit those little shoulder buttons. I don't even have big hands. So if you're thinking about some local multiplayer fun might want to look into those.

I got the colored ones (blue and red) but they don't come in stock on Amazon until 6/1. Anyone else selling them now?

THUNDERDOME LOSER

Someone came over to challenge me at the Puyo Puyo Tetris demo.

We played a bit in Tiny Mode then relocated to my TV and I picked up my Pro Controller and started pressing buttons trying to get it to sync with their switch.

As it turns out, the range on the Pro Controller is good enough to communicate with my Switch when it is literally on the opposite corner of the house, diagonally. Which is cool and all, except the part where I totally cancelled my at-the-boss run of Has Been Heroes and was back at the title screen.

Pro Controller's got range.

If you're not feeling it and have ready given it a fair shake. I wouldn't worry all that much about it. Why bother? Video games are for fun.

Graceful Explosion Machine was decent fun in portable mode, but playing it on a low-latency TV with a pro controller felt amazing.

I might be the biggest Shovel Knight fan here but dudes, the Plague Knight control mechanics are mad frustrating. I mean, this seems like a fun mechanic, but jesus it's tough get good.


parallelodad posted:

It's charging an attack, jumping, releasing charge, attacking again. It's a little convoluted. Specter Knight is miles better.

It's actually Held Charge -> Jump + Release Charge + Double Jump. Though you can throw in an attack somewhere after the explosion jump for additional air time (or to go for a second explosion jump).

It's also not very convoluted and is quite simple. You just have a Double Jump + an extra explosion jump that you put anywhere you want. Holding a button charge is normal in platformer gameplay (Mario, Metroid, Megaman games past 3, etc), so here the charge is a combination of an attack + jump. Even if you mess around with the charge jump in normal gameplay, the normal explosion will usually cover you from enemies so you mostly don't have to worry.

It might take a couple of minutes to grasp it well, because it isn't at all what Shovel Knight played like and you'll need to understand how the explosion jump arc works and where to place it. That and the fact that Plague Knight doesn't have close range attacks, so you need to bomb everything from afar. But when you do grasp it, it feels like it has a lot more freedom than Shovel Knight and then you'll be zipping around the normal levels in no time. And just because controls take a little time to learn does not mean they are bad/convoluted in the slightest.

I couldn't really get much invested in base Shovel Knight cause he's pretty stiff and doesn't have a lot going on. Plague Knight, on the other hand, I immediately loved and clicked with and could just mess around with jumping mechanics for a while. I had more issue with the close range vs bomb change than the changes to jump.
