That event occurs every January, since 2017, so you can do it next year. :)

Kinda odd that it doesn't show up any other time, since there's no events in D3, other than Seasons.

Because if it was always there, nobody would care. It’s not much of an ‘event’ but because it’s there every year they get to put D3 back in the news at least once a year with their clickbait retro event.

Steamworld 2 on the switch is a godly experience. Playing it every time I have to take a bus is so good

I still can't believe how much third party support Nintendo is finally getting

Pretty much any indie game on PC is also on the Switch nowadays, or heading that way

Switch is basically the perfect console for indies really. Like so many of these games feel perfect on handheld mode.

Yeah, I think the switch reeeeeeally could have used a proper D-pad instead of the odd choice of a 2nd set of face buttons, but other than that it's pretty much perfect.

I get that this would have made the whole "joycons can be split into two controllers" thing a lot less viable but to me the trade off wasn't worth it.


edit: there was a joycon being sold a while back with a proper D-pad wasn't there? How was the quality of that thing?

I was thinking of the joycons but also the charging/dock issues. Guess that's less QC and more a design/spec flaw though

Yes, the Hori dpad joycon and it’s phenomenal for dpad games. The dpad itself is really good. Handheld only though. I guess the thought is If you’re playing docked you have the pro controller

I'm set to buy a Switch very soon, what controllers should I get? I'm planning to play fighting games (like Street Fighter) in it, but I'll also be spending a lot of time with musou games, XBC2, and the likes. Maybe Diablo if I hate myself enough. I don't have a TV so I'll be playing on handheld mode most of the time (but docked too for playing with people).

The pro controller is the best one, but it's pricey and you don't really need it for single player, the joy cons and the grip holder that comes in the box does a fine job. If you just want an extra controller for two player games, I think 8bitdo has the best quality to price ratio

You have a ton of options. Just look at what appeals you to you. You can even connect controllers from other systems with dongles.

Joycons are good for all the games you listed except maybe SF. You don’t really need anything else for playing portably/tabletop unless you have really large hands.

How far are you in? You can kind of roam around and mess with the world and sing the whole time, so i never noticed. It's musical toki tori2+.

There's text and video that tells you a story and at certain moments you have to make choices which effect what happens in the story.
