SeANMcBAY posted:Stardew Valley is another good choice for $15. If that kind of game is your thing then you’ll get 100s of hours out of it.  That's on my wishlist, but if past experience with Harvest Moon showed me anything, it's chill and fun but definitely not a quick game to pick up. I foresee myself playing Stardew and wondering where the last 3 hours went a lot.

xedo posted:PSA for people buying Tales of Vesperia. There are 2 free dlc packs. For some reason, at least as of right now, you can't see them on the eshop page for the game. You have to go through the switch's eshop, search for Tales, and they will be listed as search results separate from the main game. Super weird. One is a costume pack. The other, the Adventurer's Pack, is basically the New Game+ bonuses. They are completely unnecessary but if you want to get an instant 900,000 gold, like +40 levels, and a bunch of items hey go for it. The DLC packs now show up under the main game's eShop page.

So, like, is Breath of Fire 2 considered a snes classic? I love it but I'm not sure why it keeps making it into backwards compatibility.

Which is why I always felt that the Switch should have included a stylus for the retro capacity. I guess the inevitable Switch Mk2 might include one

LIVE AMMO ROLEPLAY posted:So, like, is Breath of Fire 2 considered a snes classic? I love it but I'm not sure why it keeps making it into backwards compatibility. Breath of Fire 2 is one of the better SNES RPGs, especially released from anyone besides the dual titans of Square and Enix. It's translation is... questionable, but the gameplay is strong for the era of RPG it is. Plus unlike BoF1, Capcom published it themselves in the States, so they're free to hand it out to whoever they like for an english port. Considering both Konami and Capcom are on board, the bigger surprise is what's not on that list- Super Castlevania IV and Mega Man X are pretty high-profile omissions considering that Mystical Ninja and Demon's Crest are showing up.

Capcom probably want people to buy the Megaman X Collection instead (same reason behind there being no Megaman games in the NES group). Super Castlevania 4's more of a question, though I can totally see there being a Castlevania collection being put out this year.

Good Soldier Svejk posted:I sure would love the switch in a slightly thinner chassis at roughly 3 times its current price. As an upside, the Switch 2 might not use underpowered off-the-shelf components (I jest. I also don't think Nintnedo is ever going to sell to anyone in my lifetime, and their stockpile of cash will make them difficult to buy for good value).

100YrsofAttitude posted:Having beaten Hyper Light Drifter I feel a bit sad, that I won't play a game that good in a while most likely. I'm going to get through Starlink next, and I have Okami, which I got from the sale and I know neither are as good as HLD. HLD is dope. It was my favorite game of 2016 (Hollow Knight being my fav of 2017), and I even played through it before they patched it to 60fps. I love the tone and atmosphere; I get strong 70s Sci-Fi vibes from it. I'm excited to see what Heart Machine does next, and I hope their founder's health doesn't limit his ability to do what he wants to do.

Circle of the Moon was developed entirely with a dev kit on a PC, which is why the art direction was so dark. It looked fine on back-lit LCDs and CRTs. It looks like garbage on the original GBA's lovely screen. I loved that game as a young teen coming fresh off of SOTN, but it's really hard to go back to, even on emulators. The movement speed is just so drat slow, and the sprites are so large that you end up with the Metroid 2 effect of having very little of the surrounding environment around you that you can actually see.

They share very superficial similarities in the things I mentioned. I do think if you like HK you'd like HLD. I've never played the games mentioned but before adopting her, our cat was previously called Alundra, which a friend was very excited to tell me about.

If you havent theyre iterations on the Super Mario Brothers formula so all side scrollers and feel like around first-party expansion pack in terms of ideas. Has 4 player co-op with button to just insta progress through the level for players who want a break or might no have the skills for a section.

I had written off NSMB Wii years ago, mainly thinking it was nothing more than just a Wii version of the original DS game. I was partially correct. Going back through and trying to get all 3 big coins from each level, unlocking World 9, and trying to beat THOSE levels definitely made me realize that there's more going on. There are a ton of secrets and little fun techniques for certain levels, and it gave me a full mix of SMB 1, 3, and World, when it all comes down to it. So, on the surface, it can seem simple, maybe too easy. Trying to 100% it, though... That's where the real game is. I hope NSMBUD is the same, but more.
