:siren::boonie::australia: ATTN AusGoons - Target are having a clearance on several Switch games! :australia::boonie::siren:

Octopath Traveller - $30 :gifttank:
Hyrule Warriors - $30
Bayonetta 2 - $30
Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection - $30

I think the clear out and out winner is Octopath for $30.

:siren: EBGames and JB Hifi will price match :siren:
(My local ones do at least)

You're too late on this one Infinitum, I beat you to it several posts up the page :smuggo:.


Seriously though, good call on the price-matching.

I was briefly living in Australia when they set up the whole Nintendo Account thing, so thankfully I have access to the Australian eshop, because even with exchange rates and conversion fees, Digital Australian is cheaper and more convenient then buying Nintendo locally.

A real hellraiser


Resetera and Gaf before it are just the worst loving boards. It's all flame wars about poorly sourced rumors, which insiders are right, threads that are "Am I the only person disappointed in...?" E-celebrity gossip, console wars desperately trying to pretend not to be console wars, and various complaining about games not having features that were never actually promised, and disgusted shock that some Japanese company made a video game with a titty in it.

I wish they’d make a Switch XL or something. I played my nephew’s Switch over Christmas and it’s super cool but my hands are way too big for the joycon controllers. drat these sausage fingers. Holding the Switch (or controller) is really uncomfortable. The exact same machine but 50% larger would be an insta-buy for me.

Even if they made a Switch XL it seems unlikely they'd change the joycons since they'd want the rails to be compatible with the existing accessories.

Get the Satisfye grip. It's seriously great and makes it like holding a pro controller. They make a little one for dual joycons too.

If you are playing a single joycon, get one of those cheap wheels(usually two for $10). Most people use them for just racing games but they are seriously comfortable and give you big squishy shoulder buttons.

Has there been many official accessories? Seems like there has been only a few so far. Like it'd obsolete some labo and like, the plastic thing you clip joycons into to be a controller. Both stuff they could offer replacements for if you really really wanted it.

A JoyCon XL isn't impossible. Even in the dock the Switch is raised slightly and it's clear on both sides. You could bulk the JoyCons up a bit quite easily.

And those come with every Switch. An independently-sold set of differently-sized JoyCons doesn't have to replace the standard ones.

Why get a new version of a $70 pair of components to improve your ergonomics when you can get a $20 grip that works with all joycon.

lol this kind of thing actually makes me want to start with the early games in case I want to replay them and not get kicked by lack of QOL, which is how I attempted to play Persona 1 at some point


but thanks!


e) apparently 1 is on the Playstation store except it's one of those dumb games that doesn't actually show up on the Vita if you search for it, and it's $10 instead of $60(!) so I'll just get it on that, and 5 on the Switch.

Yes, no, Neo Turf Masters is "better" at being a golf game but it's an SNK/NeoGeo arcade game meant for short sessions.

Note that both games are really simple compared to something like even Everybody's Golf but they're both really fun.

Hyrule Warriors question: Should I be actively be going for Skulltula's during the campaign? It feels like I often have to ignore more pressing objectives to go scour the map when a Skulltula pops up, and I'm wondering if maybe you're intended to save those for another mode or something. Are there meaningful unlocks (weapons/characters) tied to those?

^^^Golf Story is great, very cute and clever. It's not a particularly challenging or deep golf game though.

Skulltulas are worth going for imo and aren't too bad now that you have two generals in newer versions.

Could you not originally control multiple characters? Some of these maps feel like they'd be real rough if you only had direct control of one general.

All the joycons and the NES controllers they've already released. The comfort and charging grips. Labo.

Originally you could but only in multiplayer. From the 3ds version onwards you could hot swap

I think the Switch one is a pre-World one ported forward but keeping the same general stupid obtuseness. It’s a bad series with a good concept that finally managed to deliver in the newest game.

E:its a port of the 2015 3DS game.

Switch one is pretty good though if you are willing to put up with the bullshit prior to worlds launch. It's a re release of XX in regions outside Japan which was the HD port of the 3ds game with extra content.
