Cross posting from the PS4 thread.

Just a heads up. If any of you got that 20% off entire purchase coupon from Target that they gave out last week. It totally works for all games and hardware despite stating it doesn't on the coupon. It works on everything in the store actually so you could use it to get 80 bucks off a pro or 60 off a switch or whatever.

I’m pretty sure there’s another joke like this in Mario Odyssey somewhere. It was also a pretty big Miiverse meme. I’m gonna miss seeing all that stuff when I finally log back on to 100% 3D World.:smith:

I'd accept the idea it was just Treehouse and other localizers just spicing up inconsequential dialogue and texts but, then I remember the entire premise of Rusty's Real Deal Baseball which I don't think was any different from how it was in Japan aside from how Rusty himself looked.

Somehow got work done today despite crazy US political news and Xenoblade releasing. Time to start this game while on the crapper.

I'm happy to announce I really enjoyed the first three hours of xenoblade -- I was slightly worried but it seems I've a fairly high resistance to anime, and the chubby baby look doesn't bother me as much as I'd have thought. I do wish they'd airbrushed the vagina bones for the Western release though.

The music in particular is startlingly beautiful, amazing really.

BOY DOES XENOBLADE LOOK BAD IN HANDHELD MODE

it's not just it being low resolution, they're using some combination of anti-aliasing with a sharpening filter. the game looks like a deep fried meme

Ended up taking Xenoblade 2 back to EB for a refund. I never beat XCX but that at least was fun for a good 20ish hours. I hope Namco puts a Tales Of game on the switch soon.

I'm enjoying the variety of British accents in Xenoblade Chronicles 2. The soundtrack is fantastic. It also doesn't look nearly as bad as I thought it would in portable mode(but I may be desensitized from using a 3DS at 240p for years).

Related: is there any way to pull screenshots off the switch other than transferring them to the SD card or posting them to social media?

XCX wasn't too bad on the gamepad, all things considering. Small fonts, but that was true of the game as a whole

At least its not as bad as the 3DS eye rape. It was unpleasant in 2D mode and the 3D effect was actually physically painful. This on switch is just kinda lovely.

Pocket Camp is technically well made but completely misses what makes Animal Crossing good.

I've been playing Pocket Camp daily since launch and it doesn't seem to pressure you into spending money at all. The tutorial at the start is like "btw you can also get these leaf tickets with real money" one time and then it's never really pitched to the player again. You can get a bunch of Leaf Tickets through regular gameplay and barely anything requires them.

Pocket Camp does a good job of being a mobile Animal Crossing to me. It feels like the early game of any of the main games with all the scrambling for shells, fish, fruit and bugs. I can see why some don’t like it though since that “early game” doesn’t really end for this one.

This too. It’s funny to see complaints over timers since you literally wait much longer for similar things in the main games unless you cheat and time travel.

It crashed on me again and I lost like an hour of Xenoblade progress. It feels so crash happy recently between crashing there and crashing on FE:W.

Game issue or is my switch defective?

I haven’t played those games yet but that doesn’t sound right. Mine started having issues but I found out it was due to my SD card failing. Maybe experiment with that, if you have one in your Switch, otherwise call Nintendo.

You might have a scammed sd card. I've read about this happening to people who bought an so card off of third party sellers on amazon before. Or it could just be bunk.

I think there are ways to check if your card is legit if you google it, but maybe just try without it for a while too

Let me tell you about true luxury.

I’m having a lot more fun playing xenoblade than Zelda. I don’t like anime and I never played this franchise before. It’s just charming and has good music and a nice plot that moves cleanly. Maybe I just don’t like open world games as much as I thought I did.
