You joke, but it's actually not that simple; You'd need to rebuild the Switch to make it work, because the WiiU uses a proprietary wireless connection to stream to the tablet. If you could redesign the Switch's guts to accept a signal through a said wireless connection through its video hardware, and made the "peripheral" a literal WiiU console sans-tablet, you could probably make it work :pseudo:.
I'm struggling to figure out why you typed all this out when you understood that I was just making a joke based on the fact that someone in one of the earlier Switch threads was asking for it to be able to read discs.

Yeah, picked up Shovel Knight and started it. Gonna put it down till work/travel this upcoming week.

Might pick up Romancing Saga if anyone here can comment on it. Thought about that Xenowhatsit game but it looks like some Super J style JRPG.

Might grab Kirby. I dunno. Maybe some Steamworld Dig 2.

Steamworld Dig 2 for the money. Great game through and through. It's all over a lil quick, but the Metroidvania gameplay lends itself to multiple playthroughs (even if you feel the need to shelve it for a few months between them.)

As someone playing Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze for a first time it is an amazing game and people who freaked out about it not being Metroid are dumb

Moving the target in Sushi Strikers is a real challenge. Sometimes it goes where I want it to and other times it does not. Also some of these plates are very similarly colored to one another. I think I will save fifty bucks after that demo.

Finally grabbed the Zelda DLC. Blew myself up on my first attempt but then cleared the first two sets of sword trials without much issue. 1-on-1 combat isn't the game's strong suit, but it was fun after I remembered all the options you have to cheese enemies even in a boxed in room.

That's because those complaints happened when it was a Wii U game. There were people on the internet upset that Retro's project was that and not a new Metroid.

Thank loving god it's not like loving Metroid, what absolute idiot moron would be freaking out because it's not more like loving Metroid jesus CHRIST

edit: Oh I see, freaking out because it's not the incredibly inferior Metroid instead of the objectively infinitely superior Donkey Kong Country. I see now

there are so many games that are Metroid-like, but not many platformers are as good as Tropical Freeze so the tradeoff worked out well for Retro

A metroid game where the 6'2"-even-out-of-the-armour silent-protagonist valkyrie Samus murders people who try to give her orders. The final boss is Other M Samus.

Well I just cleared normal on Curse of the Moon, and my opinion hasn't changed. great game, well worth 10 bucks. I don't know how this bodes for Ritual of the Night, but the kickstarter has already turned up something worthwhile so maybe that's something to look forward to.

My first thought too, seems too good to be true. If I was gonna sell an account with that much stuff on it without any ulterior motive I'd charge at least $150

This is a common thing that keeps coming out about the indie games released on Switch. And then similar stuff with the WiiU ports. And yet there's for some insane reason still people that are like "why so many ports??"

Went to Toys 'R' Us with the boyfriend today and they didn't have any Switches but they sold me a New 2DS for $120 which wasn't too shabby. I just wanted it for my collection though so I totally prevented a kid from having a 2DS. :twisted:

I just found out the previous Mario Tennis game had a feature where the princesses could grow to enormous size and tower over Mario. Is that going to be making a reappearance in the new Mario game?

Is there some way to choose where to save your Switch's downloads? Mine decided to save all of Zelda's DLC and several demos in my SD card. It's a small one so I'd rather just use it for videos and screenshots.
