Same here. The last system I had bought was the Gamecube. Lost interest in gaming around 2005. I never even finished Mario Sunshine or Wind Waker. I don’t really care about games anymore and I can’t stand gaming :airquote: culture :airquote:, but the Switch looked really promising, I wanted to play the new Zelda and Mario, and I had the money, so now I own a $300 Mario and Zelda machine.

What games did you like on the GameCube/other consoles you had before that? Chances are there are some indie games on the Switch that are similar to those games that you’d enjoy as well.

I dunno if this helps but Dandara is also a phone game - it felt like it targeted touch controls first. Does it control ok on joycon?

It works okay. The trick to going fast is to point roughly in the direction you want to go and let the autoaim do most of the work for you. Dodging poo poo you need to do manually but it's more about timing than speed. The jump itself is almost instantaneous, so you've got all the time in the world to line one up.

I'm through to what I think is the last region now. Game is loving short.

Cluster Truck looks like it would be rad in VR. Clearly could be played on a PSVR easily if it can run on a Switch. They could even adjust the logo to be Cluster VRuck.

Finished Dandara. Started feeling a little bit better with the movement, but still not great. And as someone said before, it felt like things were just sort of picking up when it ends. I'll say, it certainly didn't give me the fun Metroid vibes of getting a new movement ability and reexploring to find secrets. It may as well have been linear and level based for all the 'open' world did for it.

Complaints aside, I did spend like eleven hours on it, so there is certainly some level of fun to be had. But lots of frustration, for me at least, to go along with it as well, by way of the movement mechanic.

Chicken Horse is my poo poo. I'm gonna feel bad for my friends when it finally drops and all the time I've spent playing Celeste has made me an unbeatable platforming machine.

Speaking of Celeste, I'd really like to finish the B-Sides and unlock the C-Sides, but the wind level was really not great and I'm not looking forward to playing through that stage again.

Mercenary Kings is a really fun game if you know what you're gonna be getting out of it. I played it a few years back, but it's a good cooldown from Celeste for when I want to throw my loving controller through a window and just want to casually explode some dudes. Granted, the visual style is enough to make up for it's repetitive level design but I'm a complete Paul Robertson homer so I tend to like Tribute games more than I probably should and more than they probably deserve (looking at you Curses N' Chaos.) That said, Flinthook on the Switch is gonna be bonkers.

In EU you buy Bayonetta 2 and get a download code, or you can buy them separately digital looks like.

Yeah it’s just listed as Bayonetta 2 on the website. But it definitely includes the download code for the first game. It’s actually featured in their ad this week.

Switch boot rom was recently compromised. All tegra x1s have the vulnerability baked in. Homebrewers/pirates rejoice, nintendo firmware cant patch this, the bad code runs the moment you power on and before nintendos os starts up.

They can probably detect it and disable features in the os, even if they can’t patch it out of the os

Nintendo managed to detect and permaban nearly all hacked 3DSes eventually, and it's safe to assume that they will try to do that again with the Switch.

Hackers can try to spoof or disable the detection methods Nintendo uses of course, but nobody ever figured out exactly how they detected hacked 3DSes so I wouldn't count on it.

Also, carts have encryption between them and the switch. So it may not be possible to get any kind of mSD cart thingy.

Physical is 2 with a code for 1 and digital is 1 and 2 separate but you get a discount on one if you buy the other first.

Or something insane like that.
