Quick Mario Odyssey post-game question...how many Moons does the shop have? I've bought something like 55 so far...

The shops never run out of moons. They’re there so you can pad your total number of moons if some of the moons are too hard for you to get so you can reach the last two levels

Infinite. You can literally buy your way to all the end game content if you have enough coins.

As many as you want.

You only need to buy a moon from each shop once, when you do it will have a little mark on it to say you've gotten that unique moon. You can buy as many more as an alternative way to get past some of post game moon requirements.

Well poo poo, haha. I would have saved my coins for costumes had I known that. I plan on (eventually) getting all the moons legitimately anyway.

There is something special for getting 999 moons, so you're going to have to buy a bunch anyway if you want that.

There are 880 'real' moons (including the 1/world you can buy from the shop before the postgame).

Should I buy Mario Tennis physical or digital?

I was thinking physical for the resale value, but then I think, by the time I would be thinking about reselling it, would it really be worth that much

Also I got Splatoon 2 physical and I think I might play it more if it didn't involve swapping cards in

The big rock Zords you have to go into and do puzzles, and they give you an ability when you're done. There's four Zords. That's a decent metric for how far you are into the game, right?

Oh it doesn't matter. The more Zords you do the more the final boss's health is taken down, so doing all 4 takes his health down by half. You can go beat the game whenever you're bored.

Not really since you can do things in any order and since you don't have to do this things at all.

You don't even have to set foot in a shrine after the plateau or ever go in a Divine Beast


I guess the answer is "halfway to where?"

You get a star next to your save file but you're dumped back out to immediately before the fight.

It also unlocks your completion percentage so you can see it.

Octopath Traveler is very cool and I am really looking forward to it's release. Between it and Dragon Quest, Switch is about to have some fun old school rpgs on it.

The complete and utter lack of mention of DQXI for the Switch makes me wonder what the issue is with it. It'd be nice to get for the Switch but if I have to get the PC or PS4 version instead then I guess I will. :shrug:

Rolo posted:

Octopath will be a good test of whether Chrono Trigger and Earthbound are just good because they’re 99% nostalgia.

You're projecting hard enough to summon Batman.


Etrian Odyssey and a bunch of other RPGs still have them too, though you kinda have to with dungeon crawlers like Etrian.

It's worth buying physical if you have Prime (pre-order) or Best Buy GCU to get 20% off

Note that there are separate listings on the map (for finding all the map features, of which there are many) and on the quest logs.

For reference, a fairly thorough playthrough where you see all the story events, complete every shrine, and collect some seeds along the way will probably get you to 25-30% map completion.

They begin again

I’ve been doing this sick nasty perfect combo where I play a big story based PS4 game while keeping something on the Switch for when I want a break. Right now I’m playing Hollow Knight. Would West of Loathing work when I’m done with HK? I can’t tell if it’s something you need to focus on without too many other games in the mix. Sometimes my brain jumbles mechanics when I’m switching between games.

Yes since that’s a pretty good discount and then you could resell the game down the line.
