I gotta disagree, Snake Pass is a game with very unique controls and they will take time to click with players. It didn't take long for me to come to grips with the controls and I've found immense satisfaction in manipulating the snake around various obstacles.

Snake Pass is a cool game with good music and original gameplay

I put one of the wrist bands on the wrong way and was horrified. But lucky for me it came off right away. Only snagged a piece of my finger in the process, but a bit of blood is a small price to pay to the Switch God.

Snake Pass is half collectathon platformer and half Octodad, the controls are intentionally part of the challenge.

Not everyone's going to be into that and it is definitely flawed, but I've never played anything remotely like it and I had a v. good time.

Is it weird I only dock my Switch to charge and never to play?

I put my Switch in the dock as soon as it came out of its packaging and I've never removed it. I don't even know if the built-in screen works.

What eshop games do you guys recommend getting for this thing? I know Snipperclips is supposed to be really good, and I'm already planning on grabbing Shantae, Blaster Master, and Mighty Gunvolt Burst at some point. But is there anything else that's out that's worth checking out?

Wasn't there a large amount of true Knack believers on like neogaf or here in games that made a bunch of gifs before knack crashed and burned that are now retroactively hilarious?

IMPLOSION trip report: It's....good?!


Seriously though, they redid the controls completely and it feels like a proper ARPG, to the point that I doubt anyone would play it and say "oh yeah that's totally an iOS port" (which happens all the loving time with other games, so nice change of pace here). The stats system is a little arcane with no obvious way to look up what said stat actually does (rage? extra restorative? :iiam:) but I'm enjoying it so unless it's significantly shorter than it appears to be, I'd say it's worthwhile.


Related, I could have sworn that the 3DS had game manuals that could be accessed from the home screen for every game. Did I hallucinate that, or did that just not make it over to the switch?


e: I got Bulb Boy because it looked entertainingly horrific, but the creepy stuff is all telegraphed in the trailer. Most of the rest of the game is just poop jokes, and "the rest" isn't saying much because it's extremely short. If it looked good to you you'll probably be content with an LP. :rip:

If you're slamming them as fast as possible they probably average out to 3-4 minutes a pop so "10 seconds" may be, in fact, hyperbole? maybe

I bought Shephy for $5 and I like it. It's an adaptation of a Japanese solitaire card game. The goal is to turn 1 sheep into 1000 sheep by using cards with various effects. It's nothing amazing, but it's been fun to play in 100% tablet (no joy-con) mode and it's only $5. The actual card game is going for $30 online so it's like saving money!

Because Microsoft are terrible. I played my 1 for the first time in forever last week and kept confusing the hell out of myself every time there was an onscreen prompt (it doesn't help that I have a controller without the colours on the buttons). In related news, Rare Replay has some awesome games in it, especially for $14. If only it were on Switch...

What gets me every time when swapping between PS4 and Switch is the swapping of which button universally means "OK" and which means "cancel". I mean, Japan had it right with the original PlayStation making O "OK" and X "cancel" and then SCEA decided to gently caress it all up for decades to come.
