Same, I'm extremely glad I've been waiting for the PC port of world. Not only do I get a fresh MH that won't disappoint me on switch, I'll also have yet another brand new experience to sink my teeth into once ive gotten my fill of XX

I really enjoyed MH3 and 4 on 3ds so MHXX is gonna feel like a straight up upgrade to me.

Games are good yo

Just really weird characters to add.

Everyone kinda knows Astro Boy, but not many would know Blackjack.

Add that to Johnny loving Turbo of all things, and you have a game with characters only old nerds will recognise.

Blackjack actually got a new show on Crunchyroll in 2016/17.

Found a decent game play video of Immortal Redneck on the Switch - though the language ain't english.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O9d5tPlOyeU

The graphics definitely have taken a step back - compare the FOV with the health bar icon on the bottom of the screen. I understand some concessions needed to be made, but that's something that might bother some people.
The 30 FPS lock doesn't look too bad. Didn't see much slowdown when the screen was busy.
The loading times between levels also seemed pretty long (25 seconds) compared to PC.

Game play-wise, there's some levels where the platforming is a bit of a chore - so know that going in. There's one that's a bit worse than this one, but here's an example: https://youtu.be/O9d5tPlOyeU?t=4172

Might still pick it up, as it's a fun game, and loved it on the PC,.

No one wanted Rage 2 and the fact that it leaked early is the only reason people are talking about.

immortal redneck is super fun. the frame rate seems to stay at a stable 30 but it is worth noting the resolution takes a pretty big drop in handheld mode -- if Xenoblade's blurry/vaseline covered look bothered you this is gonna be even worse lol. It plays great though and adjusting aim with gyro works nicely

I had to double check the developers when I saw that goddamn Rogue Legacy-rear end progression system, but I'm having fun with it.

Like Splatoon however, it's a punishing reminder of how badly I need to work on my gyro skills.

On the other hand, there are plenty of other super good games on the Switch as well.

I don't really want the poop game, but that's fine, other people can enjoy the poop game while I enjoy the rear end games. There's something for everyone!

I even like that genre of game just it’s so offputting I will never be able to play the game. I got it for free on ps+ at some point.

Yup I hate Rogue Legacy and the boring +1% crit chance upgrades but there's enough interesting stuff mixed into the skill tree to make it ok. Also I like how it's a literal 3D tree that grows out of the ground as you level stuff up

I really enjoyed it. I hadn't played Skyrim since around release and at that not a bunch, but I got huge into it around release on Switch and put a bunch of hours into it. The portability is very nice.

Even without all the big titty mods and poo poo its still quite a lot of fun and I got my money out of it a second time.
