They've barely changed since they were on the NES, the PS4 version is the biggest departure in years (apart from the MMO).

I guess they need something to pad the presentation out given they won't have any actual games to show

DQ seems like the kinda series that it's fanbase holds back from being something greater.

EDIT: I want Rocket Slime Switch.

Rocket Slime was so good. I'd love a team-based version, the core battle mechanics make way more sense for a team game than a solo/1v1 game.

edit: for something vaguely similar with teams there's always Regular Human Basketball on PC, for free even and with up to 10 players - https://powerhoof.itch.io/regular-human-basketball

edit2: also RHB is made by the Crawl guys

Rocket Slime was the second game in the franchise and it also had a sequel. They were not localized because Rocket Slime didn't sell well.

The feeling I get is that most switch early adopters with that horrible "nostalgia" disease would be more hyped about Gamecube VC games on the switch than, say, ARMS

But that might be giving nintendo too much credit and E3 is actually going to be announcing Wonderful 102

Speaking of Dragon Quest, is anyone else not able to get bonus items in DQ8? It just quits as soon as it tries to connect to the internet. Resetting the game and the 3DS didn't help. I gotta get my lovely gimmick equipment, baby

Seeing how this is kinda-sorta the defacto Nintendo console thread;

Ausgoons, if you haven't played Star Fox Zero and want to get it cheap, Target is dumping their stock for all of $9AU. You might have to go store-hunting for it though.

They're also dumping out their stock of Animal Crossing Amiibo Festival for the same price.

Or go back and play the first game if you haven't yet. I'm doing it now and it's good but doesn't grip me the same way 2 did.

I've already 100%'d the first one :(

In some ways I still prefer the first game.. The animations for each completed puzzle are charming and really give the game a weird sort of character. It's also mechanically simple enough to get into a real groove and enjoy with an audiobook or podcast.

With Round 2, I did eventually come to appreciate the challenge and get pretty quick, but the music sucks and the controls are just awkward enough to put some friction on being in the zone.

I would seriously buy a Switch for a Round 3 that supports puzzle creation/exchange like the first game.

I like the controls in 2 better. Little things in 1 like having to break the 0 blocks manually and not being able to break a line of blocks by swiping have never stopped bothering me. Plus I don't like the harsher time limits on some of the puzzles.

Wait, I don't own Round 2 but is the music somehow worse than the first one? Because I love Picross 3D but the music is just terrible.

Picross doesn't really need good music because it's the perfect game to play when you're listening to a podcast or something

Kamiko totally has me sitting on a fence. It's really good and polished and fun, but it's so short. It's also only $5 though. I had a good time, but I beat the game with all three characters in under 3 hours. Then again, the characters all play very differently, but the "puzzles" are the same each playthrough.

Basically, I'd say it's worth $5, but you might end up as confused as I am on how to feel about it.

Put it this way.

If you spent $5 at an arcade, would you get 3 hours worth of playtime? Not likely.

Good value for money spent I reckon.
