"Thus," concluded Miyamoto, "you must give up everything you have to be my disciple."

Dunno if this this was mentioned ITT yet but Spelunker is released in 9 days (in Japan) and has a demo on the Japanese estore right now. I'm in Tokyo next week and thought about buying it, however the price seems rather steep for what it is. The demo is fun though, and some dude made a complete translation guide (not that you need it, really): http://imgur.com/a/LOWtG

Good news everyone! Binding of Isaac announced for Australia/Europe!

https://www.facebook.com/HeadupGames/posts/1470525776325410:0

quote:

Nicalis and us are teaming up to bring The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth+ to European and Australian retail for Nintendo Switch.

But this is not the only good news. To put it in the words of Casablanca: "Louie, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship." Stay tuned for more news on this strategic partnership, going way beyond just the release of The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth+, with more details to follow at a later stage.

The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth+ will come to retail for Nintendo Switch in the second quarter of 2017 with a suggested retail price of 39.99 €.

That's all for now \m/

Terrible news everyone! Still no release date! (Just buy it via the US eShop now)

Don't look at me!



For me, I think it's less about cart swapping and more about how much I don't want extra physical clutter in my life. Outside of special editions, I have been slowly purchasing digital copies of physical games I own (when they're on ridiculous super sales), so I can weed out my physical collection. Physical copies are super cool, but I've reached this weird point where I want to minimize a lot of things.

Yeah I reached that point like 10 years ago when I literally filled up a massive bookcase with DVDs and then suddenly they were all both obsolete and worthless. gently caress physical media forever you weird sperg hoarders

I only buy digital for new games but love having carts for old systems. I'm one of those guys who keeps around a CRT for retro gaming though.

I quit buying physical stuff around the time Max Payne 2 came out, and haven't had a PC with any sort of optical drive since 2006. I own one DVD and one Blu-ray movie , but have nothing to play them on.

I'm still going physical whenever possible for Switch games because something about these carts in particular seems neat and I can't really figure out what it is.

the butterfox carrying case seems to be a popular one. it has built-in game card and sd card holders and a pouch that can hold extra joycons and a charging cable and stuff like that. it also doesn't have any visible nintendo switch branding that advertises its carrying an expensive device to would-be thieves which is a positive in my book.

I've instituted a new game policy with the Switch to keep me from spending too much money. I've hit 11 games now. New rule: I can't buy a game until I finish another game. I've finished Zelda, Blaster Master, World of Goo, and 2/3 campaigns in Shovel Knight. And I'm on the last world in Bomberman and Snake Pass. So I'll have plenty of room to buy new ones coming up. Hopefully for once I won't have an unreasonable backlog.

I'm not sure when to count something like Fast RMX, Voez, or Neo Turf Masters "finished" though. Unlock all tracks/vehicles? Do all 18 holes on all courses?

Tim Whatley turned me on to this one and I gotta say it's pretty sweet (much like the switch it houses) : https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B06XKVSJ5P/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

My right joycon is a tiny tiny bit wobbly, my left one doesn't wobble at all. Should I throw my switch in the trash or is this normal?

Nah I finished the story with 110 shrines and ~150 koroks. I'll probably revisit to finish side quests and shrines but never koroks. And I will probably do the dlc if it is any good.

Finished BotW so this morning I called Nintendo to arrange for my Switch to be repaired.

One of the speakers has been totally hosed since I pulled the thing out of the box - it distorts super badly even playing UI sound effects if I set the volume above ~25%. If I'm lucky, they can just replace the speaker module and that'll fix it. If I'm not, the sound board may be broken, which probably means a new system board and a loss of all my saves.

Anyone here had a Switch repair done yet?

The internal memory is separate from the main board, so it could easily be transplanted into a working machine. No idea if nintendo does that tho.
