Super glad to see they're at least spit-polishing MHXX for the Switch. It was already going to be a day 1 buy for me, but that guy was right, let's not kid ourselves about the graphics on the 3DS.

Playing Ultra SF2 on a joycon is ultra terrible

I haven't even tried using just one joycon, I bet that's just unplayable

It's okay on a Pro controller. I can make the d-pad register up or down whenever I'm just trying to hit right or left though, I know some people were complaining about that some time ago.

It's Street Fighter on a Switch, I ain't taking this thing to EVO anyway. I just wanna throw some fireballs sometimes, and I never owned HD Remix, so.

I've played about five matches online and only saw noticeable lag once, so that's decent. It does still seem to find matches the fastest if you just jump into Training or Arcade with Fight Request on. I can also see people having fun with this on a couch somewhere, provided both have Pro controllers or an incredibly low tolerance for bad controls.

It's pretty good. Coulda been way worse, as a Capcom fighting game in 2017.

ARMS is... not for me.

Splatoon 2 is going to own, though.

Thanks for reading.

I can't stand the way NRS does combos or zoning, which is a shame because I love all the extra content in their games


edit: also the animations look hella wonky

Well I don't really see how a portable system does multiplayer any better than a non-portable one does, except if you want to punch the other players irl.

I also think that the length of the hunts is irrelevant to the game being better on one system versus another, except I get that it's a pain having to suspend in the middle of a hunt when you get to work or whatever. But if 15-minute missions are good on portable, they are probably good on a non-portable system too.

It's not that the short play sessions and multiplayer style is impossible to enjoy on home console, it just makes the portable playstyle really good and nice.

I mean I play Overwatch or whatever multiplayer game with 10 minute matches on my home computer hours at a time. If I could do that while commuting it would be ideal.

Gotta differentiate the titles so that the japanese consumer understand which is the hot new thing and which one is the underperforming slob that no one wants.

It's just the kind of thing Capcom does when it slaps a fresh coat of paint on an old Monster Hunter game.

After putting more time into Zelda I'm liking the systems and world more and more and the story less and less. Like holy poo poo Nintendo is getting some mileage out of that boring parchment looking cutscene, I think I've seen and heard the same bits three or four times now. And the voice acting in this game is...well I guess at least you tried Nintendo.

I love how it constantly feels like I'm breaking the game though and doing things they devs didn't intend. I adore it when games give that much freedom.

You can switch the voice language to Japanese. I think it's much better.

Oh hrmm I might do that.

And Other M wasn't completely unfun to play, it's just that it missed the mark of being a Metroid game so goddamn hard that it was kind of amazing and the story was almost insultingly bad.


e: and I figured it out, Breath of the Wild is a game designed to replicate the feeling of invading a high level zone in an MMO that you're not supposed to be in but actually rewards you for doing so

I guess you might like Disgaea 5 then. I've heard how the series is ridiculous in its way of handling stats, but it didn't click with me until I viewed this video about it. It kindled my interest, at least, but isn't it a grindfest? Is it just an exercise in tedium if I decide to dive in?

disgaea is insanely fun and it's been one of my favorite series ever since atlus ran that reprint of the first game way way way back in...2004?

but you'll figure out pretty quickly whether or not you like it
