I should mention, if you want to click on the link I posted, you have to read it in Tim Rogers voice first. This is a scouts honor type of thing, but I feel like I can trust you guys

He has a pretty normal voice, he only puts on that affectation in certain videos.

Hey all, I just got a Switch finally after a $50 off promotion from Google Express. $250 was enough for me to take the plunge but the actual final straw was the announcement of a Resident Evil 4 port :sweatdrop: (Yes I plan on owning as many copies as possible) Also gonna catch up on Zelda and Mario, of course. Anyone play Enter the Gungeon, Nuclear Throne, and Binding of Issac in handheld mode and can give their experiences?

I really liked BoI. Performance wise it is awesome on Switch. Gungeon is neat, they added a lot with the Advanced Gungeons and Draguns patch. I still can't seem to really love the game though. The weapons are still few and far between, and the first two levels get repetitive.

Never played Nuclear Throne.

If you're interested in these games check out Diablo 3 and Dead Cells.

i am maybe two pages late but...

if we're recommending Splatoon 2, let me be the one to shout SALMON RUN from the rooftops.

it's the best horde mode i've ever played and is addictive and fun and terrifying and your adrenaline gets jacked. the rest of splatoon 2 is great as well but the amount of time you can spend having fun grinding out salmon run waves is insane

My rank mode scores would all be much higher if I hadn't played 9000 hours of Salmon Run

It is very, very good.

Does splatoon still do the dumb thing where the different modes are time locked to certain times, meaning that in the handful of tens of hours of Splatoon I've played I've never once done a salmon run, only because I dont play at the right time of night?

You can pull up the app and see the schedule for everything in-game.

If Salmon Run was open 24/7, it would probably affect other game modes. Likewise, if every ranked mode was available all the time, I guarantee you'd have like 10 people who basically gatekeep Clam Blitz from now until the game dies.

The rotation encourages playing outside of your comfort zone.

My disdain for you all knows no bounds.
It's still really dumb, but it's a lot less bad than it used to be, since while it's not open 24/7, it's open for a lot longer and there's less downtime compared to launch where it was super easy to miss sessions.

The Switch is the only console I've been wild about since the PS2/GC era. It's a great concept and I hope Nintendo sticks with it.

So this insane Switch deal is apparently from a legit shop:
https://www.cnet.com/news/get-a-nintendo-switch-for-179-99/

It sold out almost instantly but they said they are getting more stock. They also have game and accessory deals and I ordered Let’s Go Evee for $34 from them so hoping it’s legit and I’m not an aging fool.

But that’s how it is when you start wanting to have things. Now, I just look at them, and when I go away I carry them in my head. Then my hands are always free, because I don’t have to carry a suitcase.
I for the life of me cannot find a control method I like in Splatoon 2 which is making it really unfun and frustrating when I keep getting slatted by people who are loads better than me in whatever the main online mode is called. Does anyone have any tips or am I just going to keep bouncing off this until either I give up or it just clicks?

Watch streamers and see how they move across the map and how they use their weapons, thats your best bet (i.e. you can kind of see what sensitivity the best players generally use to accompany their playstyle).

I think Helzberg has a deal right now where if you spend 1,200 or more you get a free Switch, as well. I mean if you're getting married you might as well treat yo-self.

if you're using motion controls try turning up the sensitivity if you haven't, the default definitely doesn't feel right
