The most recent Worms game (finally) isn't total shovelware, called Worms W.M.D. Works great local, would be awesome on the Switch

They've made an Armageddon remake already but it felt cheap

i played it for half an hour, went back to armageddon. they don't really need to remake armageddon, maybe find some way to integrate Switch album pictures into their level editor (where you could turn jpgs into levels) and they're good to go. of course, porting a late 90s game to a brand new console and trying to make joycons independently work might be a hassle

It's pretty much exactly that, but more mobility and wackier weapons. Also squad based instead of having just one tank

Yea actually, right down to having napalm and poo poo light the ground up (which in this game acts as a hazard if you walk into it, and you lose your turn)

You have some melee options though, and knocking enemies off the level for kills is a viable tactic

THUNDERDOME LOSER

I know Nicalis gets a bunch of flak for being bad at porting, but I'm starting to become fond of their Physical Boxing department.

Cave Story+, besides coming with a kinda-uggo keychain (that I still wanted) an audio minidisc and a small cloth pouch, has an instruction manual that's actually rather nice. Every couple of pages is just custom artwork inserts, and there's a spoiler guide in the back so I don't have to rely on that pesky internet thing for when I inevitably get stumped.

Probably gonna keep playing Puyo Puyo Tetris for the time being, but now I have more objects to place on shelves because as Nintendo has revealed to me, I'm a giant man-baby.

Worms doesn't have the Funky Bomb though, which is why Scorch will always be the ultimate artillery game.

Each character has an individual "fuckup percentage" you can see below the usual item info. The higher that is, the more likely the machine jams. You can't lower it, only use another character. Basically you have to use each character on rotation or spend a million years doing it 2 coins at a time.

What Vegastar said, I maxed it out by bringing in characters I had only done Greed Mode with once (or not at all) and hoarded as many coins as I could for the machine. If I made it like halfway through a run that wasn't getting plowed, I'd just restart.

What the others have said
Once you hit 999 coins you've unlocked everything and it starts over again in Greed Mode.
The fun bit is knowing that Greed Mode and Greedier Mode have separate unlocks for each character so you can't just do it 'once' on Greedier Mode to unlock both :suicide:

BUT in regular mode once you hit 999 coins, and unlocked everything, you should bomb the machine a few times to get the coins back out so you can use your 'savings' on future runs.

One handy trick that I use is having the Found Hud turned on, which gives you a better understanding of what's going on 'behind the scenes' with regards to things like Devil Room/Angel Room spawn percentages (This is probably a more advance thing to use, but yeah.. it's also good to see poo poo like fire rates, etc)

There was also the Europe fine of £100m back in 2002 which I believe is the reason today why they can't/don't set the RRP of consoles in Europe.

Nintendo loved their price fixing back then.

What do you mean by separate unlocks? Are the unlocks worth it in greedier mode?

http://bindingofisaacrebirth.gamepedia.com/Characters

Down where it says Greed and Greedier Modes, there are separate unlocks for each mode.

Every other unlock can be completed on Normal OR Hard mode difficulties, but the Greed/ier mode unlocks need to be done on each difficulty.

I'm going for The Real Platinum God achievement currently so it all depends on how far you want to go in Isaac :toot:

I am an American currently traveling in Europe with my American Switch and American credit card.

I want to buy Arms off the eShop, but the transaction is being denied. I know my credit card is working fine, I can use it on other local stuff.

Is my American card not allowed to buy from a European IP? What's up?

I resolved the issue. Incase it helps anyone else:

I tried purchasing via the web based store. Also didn't work.

I found a post on gamefaqs suggesting to try reinputting the credit card data rather than using the credit card data Nintendo has on file. That *did* work on the web based store. I have a feeling it would have worked on the Switch itself too.

Looks like this isn't a geolocation issue but rather is some bug with credit card storage on Nintendo's side. Hopefully there's no fun infosec bugs!

I think my eyes just glazed over that, I really feel like as a whole the actual plot of BotW is super half-assed and kind of worthless. However I did appreciate the Gerudo woman being super pissed that Ocarina of Time era Ganon was masquerading as one of them.
