Just plopped down some money on getting a Switch today at Gamestop, it comes with Arms and a really lovely looking game called "Has Been Heroes". Was going to get one from Amazon but they increased the price on me. Too bad I had to get a poo poo bundle, I wanted to get Mario Kart and Zelda BoTW :argh:

Has-Been Heroes isn't all that bad, really. I bought it on sale for $10 and don't regret it.

I wish BotW wasn't a boring and bland game but what are you going to do. Hopefully when they make a sequel they can remember making the game fun and not entirely reliant on "haha I abused the physics engine."

Question, what would cause the Switch to stay on in a case, draining power and getting hot without it actually being on? Took mine out the case and it was hot as if it were running and the battery was at 1%.

Same question - mine did this on Monday (although it wasn't hot when I happened to check it and found it had 1%).

If the case is soft, something pressing it and holding a stick or button will keep it awake.

BOTW is dank tho??? :confused: I've got over 100 hours in it and I still boot it up a couple times a week to go wandering around looking for those last shrines I don't have. Even when I don't find one I still have fun with it.

I just took the Switch and held down all the buttons while it was asleep and it didn't turn on, not sure if a stick being bent or button being held is the culprit. The screen was off when I checked it in the case but it was hot and down to 1%.

Probably an update. I think the Switch version is 720p even while docked, so they might get it to 1080p finally.

I mean, keep in mind that's the generic Snake Pass twitter account and it came out for other systems.

Not that it's probably not an update but the first thing that sprung to mind for me is like, one of those companies that produces physical copies for games.

I posted my genuine thoughts awhile back, it's just a ultra dumbed down version.

I think the games okay but it's just that. Outside of climbing there wasn't a lot fun to it for me personally due to the lack of enemy variety and how braindead easy it was once you got armor that stopped you from getting one hit.

Really terrible boss fights, really boring dungeons (outside Hyrule Castle), lack of any new trinkets or stuff to mess with- it totally failed me on just about every level.

Yep! And I haven't even played it yet. Only watched my girlfriend play while helping out every once in a while and it's absolutely up somewhere in my GOTY list. It's a wonderful game.

I really need to beat Horizon this week so I can move on to BOTW. I'm bad at actually finishing games so I've made a point of beating this one first.

They should do a live action Metroid Prime movie (even if they just started now it'd come out before 4) and cast Kaitlin Olson as Samus.

I bought Cave Story at GameStop. The cute extras make me feel less salty about paying $30 for it. It even came with a cool Balrog keychain that the dude from Binding of Isaac obviously designed.

I can't wait to amass a huge keychain that's mostly just extras from overpriced Switch games.:v:

Do all of them come with the extras or do you have to have pre ordered it or whatever. Knowing Gamestop Im assuming it's a preorder only thing, even if it comes packed in. But Ive never played Cave Story and I got keychains from Puyopuyo Tetris and I got one of those Switch backpacks and have been adding stuff to it like those little pins or keychains you get with games or preorders and poo poo.

I like the overworld and that's about it, all the fights were vs the same 3 sword and board mooks just colored differently and every nonstandard enemy outside guardians only had 1HP. It made combat super dull and uninteresting to me really, and the fact the game gives you all of your "items" in the first hour and there's nothing new introduced other then the ghost powers there wasn't much else to do to spice fights up in the insanely long game.

Like yeah I froze a enemy and pushed it off a cliff, or threw a metal object in a storm to zap enemies and it was neat in a "Haha it's cool I can do that" kind of way but it wasn't like it was a new wrinkle in combat.

There just wasn't anything there really :shrug:

E: If you like fighting the same exact bokoblin 1000 times while going across open fields into samey shrines then that's fine, you do you. It just wasn't for me and I'd just barely put it above Skyward Sword.
