the game featuring Toadette, New Super Mario Brothers U Deluxe. I just saw a preview for it and that reminded me that the game isn't even out yet but the meme it's announcement spawned feels like it's from a year ago

Bowsette was only from mid September.

I saw this game, Blazing Chrome is coming out for Switch soon too



I know that indie games generally like to be "inspired by" or "in the spirit of" or "homage" stuff, but goddamn. That's just blatantly Appleseed

No one is making Appleseed games so I'm cool with it.

It's actually even more blatantly Contra Hard Corps which will become extremely obvious as soon as you see gameplay of it.

It's the same team that did Odallus so there's a pretty good chance it'll be a solid game.

They're all OK I guess, I can't recall any big talk about it unlike lots of other accessories. So whichever looks good to you.

I mean, I'm no joke going to buy Killer 7 when it comes out on Switch despite owning it on Steam already. I kinda bought it on Steam just to ensure that it even does come out on Switch.

Been playing a little bit of Kirby Star Allies while traveling. Man I should have picked this up a lot sooner, it is incredibly satisfying even given (or maybe because of?) how dead simple it is. Just like any other kirb, I guess.

Feels bad unsummoning Friends though. (By the way, there any easier way to swap powers between Kirby and a friend?)

What is the correct way to respond to someone who says "pokey-mon"?

Thank you.

Some people pronounce that Y really hard, so depends which way we want to do this. I almost say it with an A sound unless I'm being silly then it's way more a Y.

Any recommendations on Switch games for older adults (60+) that are getting a console for Christmas? They will be getting Mario Kart and Mario Party already. Are there any puzzle games or non-rpgs/sports that anyone would recommend?

When Pokémon first came out in the States I read an article about it in some kids’ magazine that claimed it was pronounced “pah-KEE-mon.” Those magazine editors really loving trolled me.

I'm just saying, there's a nonzero chance Trump has a really toad penis.
My left joycon stick is responding a little more slowly than usual. It's especially pronounced in Lumines, and I can see it happening in the Settings menu. Calibration doesn't fix it. Seems specific to the y-axis. Has anyone else experienced this?

Yes. Don't know why. Seems to be within the last update too. If it matters, I only play Lumines in tabletop mode.
And sometimes LB takes a moment to respond and scroll through pics on the eshop.

I'm in attached mode. In the calibration screen the right joycon stick input moves perfectly, left looks like poo poo in comparison. Of course this comes two days before I get to spend 3 hours in a hospital waiting room by myself.

Yes, I’ve had similar issues. poo poo gets stuck under the dust cap of the sticks and it’s difficult to clean them. That’s probably the issue.

After messing with an Xbox One X for awhile, I really really appreciate the UI on Switch. It’s so clean and fast. We do need folders though and themes would be nice.
