all you need to know about freedom planet’s story is that they had to patch the game to remove a 5-minute slumber party cutscene

Some fans were actually mad at that! They must be doing something right.

Yeah it's nothing too special, just some my-first-fanfic level writing (and my-first-dub level acting) that you will instantly forget when it's over. I think it's kind of charming, honestly. It's very earnest in its ineptitude.

Wait, for real? I was streaming the game awhile back, hoping to just make fun of the dumb story, but when I got to that scene I just... couldn't. I stopped shortly after and didn't play the game past that point. So they actually showed some self-awareness and actually took that scene out? It was pretty bad.

I played it at launch and the only thing I remember about it is that it went on way too long. And that there were long pauses in between sections of dialog within the scene.

That's not what gaslighting means you hyperbolic dipshit.
New Kirby expansion is pretty cool.

Comes with a few new dudes and a harder campaign that makes me feel like I'm not playing a toddler's video game anymore!

Goddamn the boss fights in the Kirby update are brutal. Oh, and you only need to worry about collecting 100 hearts. You have a leeway of 20 you can miss.

A shitty post? This calls for a dance of deduction.

FYI, Freedom Planet is the greatest 2D platformer ever made. Everyone should buy it.

Also, the story is just fine.

Shovel Knight, Stardew Valley, Hollow Knight (even though I don’t personally like it, most people consider it a great Metroidvania), Golf Story, Celeste, Binding of Isaac and Undertale are all good things to look at first.

Each game is in a different genre.

I was right about everything and I'm going literally insane.

Spoilers: It's hard confirmed that Void is Zero reborn. Literally ASTRAL BIRTH being it's tagline. It then goes on to confirm that Kirby is a good outcome of Zero basically, just hyper condensed.

Hal knows how to be rough when they want to be. The final boss fight of Heroes in Another Dimension is loving chaos.

Makes me wonder what a game from them would be like when they stop holding back.

EDIT: Holy poo poo they actually made it so that some of the bosses' attacks go through your invincibility frames. Guess they finally decided to cut down on that sort of abuse.

Hi Switch thread! I've been neglecting my machine, but with Smash coming out I've been thinking about dusting it off and getting that. When I last looked 3rd party portable switch docks were suspected to be bricking consoles. Is that still a thing? Are there any miniature adaptors that are proven to be safe? I remember there was one that was a case that you were supposed to crack open an official dock and transfer the guts over, but I'd rather not do that.
Anyone had experience with portable docks?

Edit: Also Nth-ing the Golf Story recommendation. It's rad.

DoctorWhat

A little privacy, please?
Docks designed to output to TVs are not safe. The Switch in TV mode draws an irregular, variable current that, at present, only Nintendo's chipset can consistently and safely provide.

Portable hubs that can keep the Switch charged in handheld mode are safe.

Long winding rabbit hole that only matters to people that like kirby lore/story.
Basically Zero, a eldritch horror gets reborn into that and it's stated that if positive enough it turns into a Kirby. All the jokes about Kirby being a eldritch space horror are true.

Super Hydorah is a great space shooter, Mighty Gunvolt Burst is the best feeling classic Mega Man style game that isn't Mega Man, Hollow Knight is fuckin A+ metroidvania, Alwa's Awakening and Save Me Mr. Tako! are both retro styled games on completely opposite ends of the spectrum of difficulty, Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon is a love letter to Castlevania 3, Danmaku Unlimited 3 is a great bullet hell shooter.

I think all of those are between 10 and 20 dollars.

I meant how is Zero linked? Does something mention Zero or is it based off the design?

I'm OK, you're so-so
I'm gonna get Smash and I'll probably eventually want the DLC as well, but I don't really want to pay a hundo for the Fighters Pass bundle now if none of the DLC comes out until 2020. I'm probably alright getting the vanilla version now and the Fighters Pass separately sometime closer to the DLC release? From what I can tell it isn't even significantly cheaper to buy the pass this far in advance, but I'm wondering if there's some other early buyer's bonus that I would be missing.
