Does anyone have the Warframe guide posted a while back? I’m finally putting some time into it and it’s fun but right now I’m just dashing and slashing the hell out of everything.

Hoping those third-party docks figure out how not to brick the console (seriously what is that all about?)
The crux of it is that there's no licensed third-party docks, and Nintendo only QAs software updates with licensed accessories.

The actual dock-bricking problems may well have been bugs in the Switch firmware when working with docks that behave slightly different than official, but since Nintendo doesn't license or test those docks they can't really be blamed for any bugs.

Yeah, and if you have the charging grip that’s enough for 4 joycons right there.

eonwe posted:

get another set of joycons. thats like, by far the most important thing if you have kids sharing a console.

also I'd suggest games that you can actually play at the same time.

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
Get the Super Mario Party joycon bundle to kill two birds with one stone and save a chunk of cash. Simple enough that the non gamer parents could get roped into it to play with the kids too.

I’d say the handheld tradeoff makes up for the graphics tradeoff.

Both run phenomenally on the switch, both are fantastic games that bring an experience you can’t really get anywhere else.

Buy them both

It looks better on Xbox of course but it looks pretty nice on Switch too both docked and undocked. Get it on Switch just for the option to play portably too.

Broforce is a great time if you have four people. I have not played it with less, but it seems like playing it solo would be a lot less fun since the constant chaos is a big part of the appeal. So keep that in mind, I guess.

All the best parts of Contra, Metal Slug and great 8 and 16 bit run-n-guns with modern design sensibilities, fantastic 4-player co-op, tons of replayability, 100% destructible terrain and a bunch of characters to keep things fresh?

I guess if that doesnt sound fun to you, then you might not like it

E: ^^ it is fun solo, but obviously playing with friends is a big part of the appeal. Solo Hard mode or Ironbro mode is fun after you beat the game once

I found it difficult to introduce to people. As far as I can tell there’s no way to pull up a control scheme, and if you have the nerve to play solo for a while you’ll unlock a wide variety of bros each with an entirely different thing going on, which is really cool, but like when I take this poo poo over to my friend’s house it’s confusing and difficult to explain, and they haven’t had the benefit of just playing with the handful of starter bros.

Pro Broforce (proforce) multiplayer tip: There is an option to reset the unlocks to solve exactly the problem you are talking about.

I reset the unlocks whenever I start a co-op game with people.

Yeah, especially if you start a new game when you play co-op, the first few levels do a really good job of introducing the mechanics of navigating and shooting.

Advanced stuff (like high five to slow down time) you can just tell them about the first time you need to use it. Well, you never NEED to use high five slow mo, but its nice, especially if you're playing on hard mode.

Work through the star chart (you have to go to Venus then Mercury to get to Mars) for the most part. Keep building and trying out new weapons as you can to raise your MR, farm The Jackal on Venus for Rhino. Mostly the key thing is keep moving through the star chart. Also come ask questions in the Warframe thread if you need help, you'll probably get a faster response.

Stand next to another player in co-op, press the knife/melee button at the same time as the other player (requires some IRL co-op), your bros will high five each other and you'll get bullet time for like 5 seconds or so. Its great for hard sections.

The Lost Child is down to 30 bucks for anyone looking to scratch a DRPG itch. It's SMT inspired with demon capturing but by shooting them with a laser gun. It's not bad, definitely not my favorite DRPG ever but you'll easily get 40-50 hours of enjoyment out of it. You too can form a party of interdimensional horrors to fight with deities and a guy who evolves from having a shirt to taking off his shirt to wearing armor.

It also has the guy from El shaddai in it which I didn't even think about for the longest time.

Sorry if this has already been addressed, but wanted to give a heads up to people in my situation: I bought a Switch online for Black Friday, got all excited about the eShop deals, then realized you need to actually have your console and attach it to your Nintendo account in order to buy the digital games. My Switch won't come until around Friday, and the sale ends tomorrow morning.

However, just got informed that Amazon is price matching a ton of the digital versions of the Nintendo games on sale, so I was able to make out just fine. They were missing a few though (and I'm guessing others I didn't check for): I found Snipperclips at Walmart, but haven't been able to find Steamworld Heist, Gorogoa, or Thumper for their sale price.

After the bomb-omb got me the lightning went off and knocked everyone else on their rear end, including the guy barely in frame who dropped a crazy 8 right on top of me. Lucky me got the star and didn't even know it for about 3s as everything was just AHHHH lol

Strangely enough, sort of? From the wiki, some company bought the IP to it and used the same characters in a DRPG. Enoch was dlc in the Japanese version but he's base here. There's also a chapter in the middle where lucifel takes you to Enoch and your characters kind of bro out on what it means to be chosen ones. It's kind of a bizarre use of the IP but whatever, the game is alright. But a gameplay sequel absolutely not.
