Also Mighty Gunvolt Burst is a really cool little game, too. Has anyone talked about it?

Not really, which is surprising to me. I think it's the best non-nintendo title on the console right now. It's very tight and fun, and super replayable.

gently caress. A friend left Arms at my place last night and I gave it a spin with regular controls instead of motion.

Ordered it a minute ago. It's way more enjoyable to me with regular controls, and the matches were quick and fun! I lost every one, though, but people have a few weeks of practice on me so that's fine.

Is there a thread for it or should I ask stuff here? I want to gjt decent!

Maybe not bad, I understand the appeal, I've just never been into them too much, it feels gimmicky and I lose interest. Regular controls are good enough that I can enjoy the game without having to use them, and it won me over like that!

Agreed arms needs a demo. I am lukewarm on fighting games, but I do enjoy some. So I want to try before I buy.

An arms demo on Switch would be perfect, Nintendo.

Actually the motion controls on ARMS are better, because you have full control of your ARMS mid-flight. With the regular controller you can only manipulate the last one you threw.

Guys, if you are Puyo Puyo Tetris actually on the fence about buying Puyo Puyo Tetris, just buy Puyo Puyo Tetris. If you enjoy Puyo Puyo or Tetris, you will enjoy Puyo Puyo Tetris. If you have no interest in either game Puyo Puyo Tetris, you will probably not enjoy Puyo Puyo Tetris. If you have a double-digit Puyo Puyo Tetris number of plays on the Puyo Puyo Tetris demo, then please just buy Puyo Puyo Tetris.

Puyo Puyo Tetris came out in the West, because fans of the Puyo Puyo Tetris series have been yelling at Sega for years. If you buy Puyo Puyo Tetris, it will let the crotchety higher-ups over there know that Puyo Puyo is a property worth releasing over here and will maybe convince Puyo Puyo Tetris Tetris Company to stop working with people who make their game lag and stay Puyo Puyo Tetris with cool people who make their game Puyo Puyo Tetris.

Is there a proper endless Tetris mode in it that I could select from the start menu? I've come to enjoy vs Tetris via the demo but no classic mode = no sale for me.

There is, in fact, direct options from the start screen to jump right into endless Tetris or Puyo Pop.

Both Endless Puyo and Endless Tetris are available from the in-game main menu under Solo Arcade. You can also experience Fusion there, which has both Puyos and Tetrominos on the same field and emphasizes getting quick combos for garbage blocks.

I want to say that the option to play tetris is not endless. I feel like it stopped my when I got to level 15 and it bummed me out and I haven't play it since.

Also that Andrew Sampson guy needs to stop getting my hopes up for something that will never be allowed on the eshop. If that app thing ever is officially released and sanctioned by Nintendo I will buy 3 animal crossing Amibo. Go ahead and toxx me. I dont give a heck.

Even better we should just port N64 The New Tetris to Switch Virtual Console.

Because that's the best loving Tetris there ever was and for some stupid reason they won't implement Square Tetris rules in modern Tetris games. gently caress, Square Tetris is easily 10x more fun than standard Tetris.

Agreed square mode is best and The New Tetris had the best music of any video game ever.

I love the swtich pro controller but the dpad is super poo poo for puyo tetris for some reason. Maybe my two pros are just borked though. Pls recommend me a good dpad for puyo tetris goons.
