I keep seeing Shovel Knight being praised but honestly playing this 8-bit throwback games just makes me depressed because it's the kind of poo poo I would have LOVED as a kid but now it just makes me angry because I suck at platformers.

I like the concept of Disgaea as this long-term SRPG, but past attempts at getting into it on the Vita left me aggravated at how unbearably ~anime~ it is. Is whatever this one on the Switch better/worse?

Should I just shelf my Switch until...something else comes out? :smith:

Shovel Knight has infinite lives and a ton of checkpoints and most powerup items you obtain increase mobility, though you already have plenty of mobility. Go for it.

I have Shovel Knight on the WiiU and the 3DS. I can't...I can't really justify buying it again, can I?

God help me I think I can.

Looks interesting, but I can see why it's not available globally. (gameplay starts about 4 minutes in)

Can't tell from the trailer, but would guess it has regular courses in the same top down perspective, with each hole being a "map" like the story and training maps this seems to show.

Anyone have opinions on the 8Bitdo controllers? When I saw that they were Switch compatible, I got the NES30 Pro off Amazon.

Is this a bad controller, or am I wrong? The d-pad feels good (don't have a game that can really test it), but the rest seems problematic. The buttons are sticky, and the sticks feel too loose.

I should really just
learn to stop talking.
Those monster hunter ps4 rumors don't hold a lot of ground. Monster Hunter is perfect portably, and the devs know this. It only managed to survive by going from ps2 to psp, and becoming hugely popular in japan due to close proximity with people on long train rides/ect.

I'll sure as poo poo buy it if it comes out on the ps4, but I really don't want to have to be glued to my couch to play it. Oh, also mhgen changed the way you make better gear, so grinding isn't as bad. You can also just use any parts from x monster half the time, instead of x part from x monster.

If you get a USB-C to HDMI cable, will it work? Or does it require whatever hardware is in the dock to output?

Actually, you probably don't suck, it's likely the input lag added by your television. Use a monitor, or go to https://www.displaylag.com

I'm not tech savvy enough to say for sure without trying but I imagine that the docking mechanism is also the signal to send through the port so probably not.

More money and effort was spent on the Ryu in Smash Bros. DLC than was put into this title.

USB-C is capable of this without a powered dock, but it doesn't seem like Nintendo is using the standard config for USB-C video since 3rd party USB-C docks don't work.

Also the Switch uses extra power from the dock to render at a higher resolution when playing on a TV. So if you connected it without the dock you would either be stuck at 720p, or get terrible battery life. I don't think Nintendo is going to release a cable or adapter for that.

Don't need a holster if you never stop shooting.

The HDMI signal is encrypted by the Switch and decrypted in the dock, so it may be a while before 3rd party substitutions start showing up.

If you look up the cost for most usb-C to HDMI docks and price in the AC adapter/HDMI cable, it's honestly not a horrible deal. Still more than I'm happy paying, though.

The Siwtch can be enjoyed in numerous different modes: Handheld mode, table mode or TV mode. And it uses controllers.

Like a lot of games, it has a lot of obtuse systems that you can gently caress around with if you want to min/max, but you can easily play the game and never really worry about it. That'd be like saying Pokemon is obtuse because the systems behind it are bizarre and EV/IV perfect breeding is a bizarre hellhole.
