I've never understood this attitude. There's a subset of players who, it seems, are remarkably resistent to the idea of getting better at fighting games/smash in a way you never see with, for instance, Celeste or other games that gate content behind challenges.

I wonder what it is that leads to this weird learned helplessness. Why buy a fighting game if you don't want to enjoy playing it?

Funny you bring up Celeste, the game with loads of optional cheats anyone can use, none of which will mark your save file with a big cheater icon or anything.

Women are wonderful animals, they should be making music and writing novels about having a complex relationship with your mother.
I like when you get a Pokeball and throw it and a Pokemon helps you for a bit. That should be a feature in more games. That should be in the next Zelda

Good morning!
So I got a kick rear end bonus and want to get a Switch, probably 80% to play Smash. It'd be my first new console since the Wii. Any suggestions on the best place to snag one at this point? I imagine the holiday bundles and whatnot are basically done.

It’s going to be basically the same anywhere. I wouldn’t recommend getting a used one, there’s some durability issues with sticks and d-pads and the joycons are a big enough fraction of the price I wouldn’t want to roll the dice on used ones.

No. None of the battle tracks from Earthbound are in any Smash. It’s a shame.

I’d love to see Porky as a DLC character.

You won't really save any money on it, but if you're into Diablo, Gamestop has a pretty cool looking exclusive Switch. They may still have them.

Personally, if I HAD to go used, I would get a refurbished one from Nintendo.

Yeah, my refurb 2DS was really good and I didn’t have any quality problems at all. I mean, my new one is two weeks old and its stick is a bit jacked up already so who knows if buying new will save you anyway.

The Boo-Box

Bought myself a switch for xmas. Great playing stuff in bed. First and only full priced game was Smash so far. I think it's an awesome game but the music for the opening video is so bad it is in fact shameful and even when I am in my bed alone I slam the lower volume button or press start to skip it. Thanks for listening.

It's good that those free games won't distract people from the more important gaming activity of this month, buying copies of Travis Strikes Again

November was also two games if you don't count the SP one.

Zelda 2 and Blaster Master both extremely good though.

Blaster Master Zero isn't really the definitive version of this game. It's a better game, it's a modern reimagining with tighter controls, but it isn't a remake, the map and scenario and powerups are different outside of a few areas. So if you've already played Zero, this has shittier controls, but is definitely different content worth playing.

They should have released it here and called it the Joy Mech Club.

By the way, you can play any famicom game with your American Nintendo Switch Online account. You just need to create a Japanese profile and Nintendo account, log onto the Japanese eShop and download their Famicom app for free, but then open the app with your profile linked to your American Nintendo account.

Guess we’re not getting one this month since that Yoshi trailer + date really seems like something they’d save for it.

Both are good choices but they should have given us a US only game too like Startropics or something to make up for the balance with the Japanese selections.

Y'all were talking about Dragon's Dogma earlier and yea its really good. I bought and played through it 3 times now. Really fun combat, amazing dungeon crawling, especially in the bitterblack isle stuff, and it has the best spell casting in any game ever made. No other game makes sorcerers feel as powerful and cool as Dragon's Dogma. Look at these gifs
