My nephews (8 and 10) are probably getting a Switch for Christmas. Their parents aren't really into gaming and I'm getting farther out of the loop by the day. Any parents in the thread want to share things they found useful about dealing with kids and the Switch (other than kids wanting to murder their siblings after playing games together)? They're currently playing games on their WiiU, so their familiar with motion sensitive controllers and titles that are similar to other Nintendo systems.

The Kins posted:Superbrothers Swords & Sworcery EP will be hitting the Switch on Friday for an unspecified price that will almost certainly be higher than the five bucks or so it goes for on other platforms. Rupert Buttermilk posted:Ok, like, I own this game multiple times, and haven't gotten more than 5 minutes into it. Whenever I was playing last, I got distracted or couldn't continue, but since then (the YEARS since then), I haven't ever felt like going back. What's the big deal? From someone who's played it all the way through, is it worth the time? What's the big draw? The only reason to play this game is for the A++ music and sound effects.Get some good headphones or hook up a bluetooth speaker and enjoy. I don't see any reason to get it on the Switch.

Be the Cool Uncle/Aunt and get them the Super Smash Bros bundle with the special-edition Dock and JoyCons. It looks like this (don't worry so much about the non-Smash bundled titles there). That link's for EB Games Australia, but you should be able to find the same general thing in the US or wherever you are. If you want additional titles to get them, Pokemon Let's Go and/or Mario Kart should do the trick for small kids in need of multiplayer games to share.

wtf it is not reasonable to suggest that someone spend $500 on their nephews I mean for starters even if they did have the money to spend on family like that, the parents might not appreciate it. I know that my sister doesn't like us going crazy buying stuff for her kids. irlZaphod fucked around with this message at 16:00 on Nov 27, 2018 |

I'm guessing the parents are buying the Switch. Check with them to see if there are any games they are getting (pack in or otherwise). If not, Smash or Kart will be good multi-player experiences. If they like Pokemon/Pokemon Go, Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee would be fine (they can each have a save file on each of their Switch profiles) but stick to a good multi-player game first. I'd stick with one game which is going to run $60. That seems more than appropriate, especially if the parents are getting one game either packed into the system or in addition to the system.

onesixtwo posted:Cool, thanks, i'm in for one now. Ordered through Target and got 15% off today. I've got the wired GC adapter / controllers from the Wii U, but a wireless gamecube pad sounds very good to me. My wavebirds are a bit too old to justify continued use for smashing.. This is the first 3rd party controller I've purchased since lovely N64 controllers were a thing, and I'm definitely impressed. Big thumbs up to this purchase

Very tempted on that GC controller out of sheer nostalgia. I don't really need another controller (I could use a joycon...) Anyone know how much it goes for in Europe? Might be a Christmas gift to myself. Especially if it merely registers as another pro. That means it'd work with any pro-compatible game right? EDIT: Finally watched that video. Batteries? gently caress that. I don't have time for batteries. 100YrsofAttitude fucked around with this message at 16:49 on Nov 27, 2018 |

THE AWESOME GHOST posted:When I was younger I remember half of the fun of some games was figuring out what to actually do. Also console games back then were beatable in like 2 hours so the "what the hell do I do now" was often part of just making it last longer. I remember playing Super Mario Bros 2 up to the point where you're supposed to sit on the egg SO many times and just not being able to figure it out and dying over and over and having to restart the whole drat game As a kid, many of us liked hard games. Open world was a boon. And those games weren't even as sophisticated as how we do open world games now. People are under the impression that if you open-world an older series, you just remove the walls and let people run wild without changing anything else. You can discourage a player from going to a dangerous zone; they're smart enough to see the fork in the road. But some people want to take that challenge, you know?

Mario Odyssey is good (especially if one of them is particularly bad at games, they can be the hat). Mario Kart is good, it has auto acceleration. also, give their parents this link: https://kotaku.com/new-nintendo-switch-update-lets-you-find-lost-controlle-1796254950 you can find lost joycons with it also get a screen protector

Humerus posted:I didn't realize the batteries lasted so long. I've been using the set that came with Mario Party while my wife and I played since Friday and I got the warning one was low last night. Guess they weren't fully charged out of the box. Sorry, i didn’t mean to be misleading; I was way over-exaggerating. I’m not even sure the self-discharge time is “a few months”. The point is just to rotate pairs of joycons attached to the Switch every so often* and you’ll never have to worry. For example, I rotate in the pink/yellow pair my daughter uses every 3 weeks or so; and she plays Mario Kart no more than a few hours a week, which is well under the 20 hour expected life. I’ve never seen a battery warning.

The cartridges are beyond tiny, to the point where children swallowing them was a genuine concern. In addition, the parental controls require you to sync the switch with a phone app, but you can set separate time limits for each day of the week. My boy gets 60 minutes on weekdays, for example. If multiple children are using the same Switch it's really really easy to accidentally play under another person's profile and gently caress up their save games so you'll need to drill it into their heads to watch for that.

I played through the first boss of Transistor the other night, it's a really good port. Was just laying in bed in the dark, loving up my circadian rhythm, listening to the gorgeous soundtrack and just kicking the poo poo out of all the jerkass robots I could find.
