It's kind of amazing how poorly those arcade brawlers hold up when ported to consoles. Removed from arcades and the cool cabinet and horrendous difficulty there's just nothing there.

I just got a Switch. Zelda is very good. Playing Zelda in bed is borderline magical.

It doesn't feel very secure in the dock, though, like you can move it around? What's up with that, Nintendo? It works fine but you'd think it would be a little more securely fitting device. Not a plastic holder that could seemingly scratch my screen if I'm not super careful when placing it in.

They took X-Men out of MvC Infinite so they could put them in a Switch exclusive: X-Men vs Nothing. It's one player only.

Any colorblind people buy Puyopuyo Tetris? The demo is unplayable and google seems to think there are various colorblind options, but that kind of thing can be super hit or miss .

I agree, the big ol' dock is dumb. I just want a cable or adaptor of some kind to plug HDMI into my switch.

Only thing that bothers me is that I have to plug the joycons into the switch to charge em without buying a new charger.

There are. With a few points (or put in an unlock code), you can get alternate shapes and colors for the Puyo.

In the full game, you can actually switch the puyos to be different shapes, they even have one specifically for colorblind people. I'm not colorind, but I played with a colorblind buddy. I forgot at first in our first round, but then I turned on the colorblind shapes and it was a night and day difference.

Thanks both!

That was basically our experience, too. We played Tetris a few times and then swapped over and it took about 20 seconds before I put the controller in my lap and just shrugged at my wife.

The part of the dock you plug into moves slightly, presumably to make it easier to dock and put less pressure on the Switch's USB port if you wiggle it around.

Why would you not store your joycons on the Switch when not in use?

You can put them on your switch without undocking it.

Oh I started Blaster Master at the weekend and it's pretty fun. The on-foot sections seem quite short for the most part but I've only finished the first level.

Some of them are much longer and more trying. Don't forget to grab the dlc as it comes out for free since you need to pay after a while.

it's a great little "retro classic" game that has a lot to play with but keeps things brief enough so you aren't getting tired of segments constantly. I hope the DLC they're pumping out eventually includes expansions to the main game.

Yeah I grabbed the Shantae one, I'll get SK when it comes out. I missed the earlier 2 ones though, but they're only €2 each or something like that if I really want to get them.

Blaster Master was fun and worth the price but I don't really "get" playing as Gunvolt - I have no idea what's going on and it certainly didn't add anything to the experience.


Is Shantae any better?

Shantae is a lot better. If you've played her games it makes sense. I suspect if I'd played Gunvolt games he would make a lot more sense too. Apparently how he works is his bullets are low damage and serve only to tag enemies, and the real damage comes from his lightning which hits tagged enemies, and if you've played his games you're used to it and it's second nature. But I haven't played his games.
