For those who say that cute or over saturation is not creepy or foreboding go watch movies like the Truman Show or Stepford Wives whose too bright, too clean, too perfect aesthetic are what are supposed to unsettle you throughout the film and make you aware that something is off. Plus toys like Elf on the Shelf or dolls in general are very common scary objects. So even in that respect you're going about it backwards. Not that I care for grim-dark LA. It's about waking up with the sun playing slightly on your face missing a beautiful dream you'll never again have but that you're glad you're able to remember. I've only had one waking dream in my life but when I awoke that feeling was the one I had and I lay in bed for minutes afterwards awash in a joyful agony of the passing of the dream. I've been sitting on this for far too long but I can't believe all that people want from this remake is LA: Noire

Just wanted to chime in and say I got ahold of a copy of Captain Toad from the library to test out 2 player mode with my 4 1/2 year old daughter. I had zero interest in this game on Switch, having completed it on the Wii U. The co-op mode is amazing for my daughter. It's right up her alley, I can jump in and help solve puzzles when they are too hard, and I can control all the rotating while she just controls moving her purple toad. The bubble feature is great so that if she's stuck she can just float to my position. She's wanted to pick up all the gems and star so far, and gets really excited about her helping me get them. We also tried out the Yoshi demo and she thought the 2 Player co-op in Mellow Mode was a ton of fun. God bless Nintendo for still making co-op, and putting in these easy mode which are perfect for getting little kids into gaming. Like, even Tropical Freeze, with the ability for her to be Dixie and jump on my back and fire a gun has been a blast as the game has ramped up difficulty.

I’d argue the amiibo exclusive costumes are even worse since it’s still a random chance to get what you want when you scan them in. You can only scan once a day or you have to save scum to get another chance. I didn’t even bother after completing one set even though I had the amiibo since it was just an annoying slog.

A runner up is in the original Hyrule Warriors, where one weapon was exclusive to having a Link Amiibo. But yeah, not as bad as needing to have that exact specific Amiibo for Wolf Link plus a different game to make the feature worthwhile. Quantum of Phallus posted:I have just know found out there's a wolf in BOTW and I can't get it They teased it before the game came out and I was sure tameable wolves would be a thing like the horses, and that the Amiibo would just be to get the Link Wolf. So annoyed when that wasn't the case.

I absolutely hated the way ALBW looked. It was just so bland, and all the characters looked like toys but with no life behind them. Link's Awakening looks the way that game should've. I love it.

ALBW is a very faithful 3D imagining of the LTTP art style. There's nothing wrong with it and it's well done but ultimately it's just derivative and not particularly interesting.

I got the dreaded joycon drift problem a few weeks ago, and the compressed air I had lying around wasn't doing the trick, so I finally got around to buying some WD-40 contact cleaner. I flipped up the little rubber skirt around the stick, gave it a quick squirt on either side and worked it around a bit, and the stick is working flawlessly again. I dunno if it's going to be a permanent fix, but it takes less than a minute to do so hopefully it won't be a big deal going forward. If you're not sure if you have the drift problem or not, go into the controller calibration and test out the stick in question. If you give it a flick in a direction and it doesn't instantaneously snap back to zero, it may need a cleaning. Mine was slightly slow to reset (still pretty fast, but not instant) when flicking upward and a little bit when going downward, but it was easy to compare the reset time to left/right and see that there's clearly a problem. You may have a drifting joycon and not even know it. Depending on a game's deadzone settings and the repeat delay (i.e., how long an input needs to be held down before it repeatedly sends it, like when you're scrolling through a menu), it might not be enough to affect that particular game. In my case, I first noticed it when playing Tangledeep--there's almost no deadzone, and the zero reset time was just slow enough that it would send one or two extra inputs when in a menu, but my joycon wasn't bad enough to affect other parts of the game.

Your Computer posted:You say playing through the intro, did you get into any battles or reach the world map? Because those are the places that run at like 15-20 fps and from what I've heard else (and in this thread) the Switch version is just the same as the PC version? I fought my way through the Cursed Forest past the first mini-boss. The battles so far have been rather smooth. I'll report more after I finally reach the world map!

A common (or at least semi-frequent) complaint about the Switch is the lack of system level achievement system. Personally I think it is helping to cure me. I readily admit to having whatever brain sickness makes a person chase achievements and when they're not available I can just play the drat game and enjoy it. Like there's no way in hell I will attempt to get Excalibur 2 in FF9. Whereas if that achievement was available I'd probably end up doing a second playthrough speedrun. I can also ignore Tetra Master and the rope minigame. Similarly there's a lot of dumb poo poo in Skyrim that I have no compulsion to do without that motivation there. After a few of these games my brain has started to think "why would a little picture and arbitrary points change your mind? You clearly have no natural desire to do this". We will see if it sticks.

a7m2 posted:Zelda 2 was and is still by far the worst Zelda game Zelda 2 is a fine game. Great presentation, good music, responsive controls. It expanded on the series by introducing towns and npc's to interact with, small sidequests, magic, more focus on swordsplay. In hindsight people look down on it because it's such a deviation from the other titles. But at the time there was no precedent set for the franchise. And everyone I know, who grew up with these games has no issue with it at all. Of course, in a franchise as Zelda, being the worst game in the series, still makes you pretty good. But there are worse games out there. For example the CDI games. But even if you don't count those. Games like Phantom Hourglass are really not that great.

Policenaut posted:Can anyone comment on how well the 8bitdo Wireless Bluetooth Adapter works on Switch? I kind of want to connect a DS4 to my Switch for D-pad heavy games. Works great, been using the DS4 for Tetris 99 (it's way better than the Joy Cons for that game). Just make sure you update the firmware to the latest one - out of the box it was dropping connection randomly but now it's perfect.

hadji murad posted:Can you recommend any other Switch games for a kid? We are thinking of introducing games to my daughter around her fourth birthday. Agree with the Mario Kart recommendations, auto-steer and auto-accelerate options make it nice and easy for the kids. Kirby's easy and you can play co-op, and Mario Odyssey might take a year or two for her to be able to play much but it's got an "assist mode" that makes it a lot easier. My six year old nephew also loves Arms, the kids really like flailing around with that one. (Just be sure to use the joycon straps.) He also liked Captain Toad but it got too hard for him after the first few levels - but the new co-op update may make it worth revisiting.

Andrast posted:Octopath looks great Same. Octopath and LA are going for two completely different styles. Octopath wanted to capture the nostalgia of the old 16-bit-era RPGs and thus opted for sprites, yet wanted to make it look newer and use all sorts of modern special effects, so they went with the style they did, which works great for what the game was going for. Likewise, Link's Awakening is light-hearted, whimsical, and dream-like, so it makes sense they'd go with an art style that accentuates those qualities and makes it feel like a small adventure in a wacky world. Those games really would not work if you swapped their art styles, but the art directors know what their games are and how to best represent them, thus the choices they did. I think LA is going to look and feel a lot better once we actually have the game in our hands, but I think it's a pretty clever design and the only thing I'd change are Link's eyes (and an option to disable tilt shift for those who dislike it). Barudak posted:The very first thing you do in Octopath Traveler is turn off the godawful screen edge effects that make the game look uglier than it already is. I'm glad they didn't finish it then because after eighty hours of 100%ing the game I wanted even more, imagine how long I'd still be playing now if they finished it.

hadji murad posted:Can you recommend any other Switch games for a kid? We are thinking of introducing games to my daughter around her fourth birthday. NSMBUD is great with the bubble to get through hard spots, and she can play as Toadette/Peachette as a girl character or Nabbit for invincibility. Mario Kart 8 has the auto drive mode that lets them steer and fire weapons. Snipper Clips is a good co-op game that we are just starting to get into. Mario Party is a huge hit. They have the mini games only mode, a board game mode where you can play as a team, and River Survival. We also play Smash, but we play as a team and I put the handicap at 300% percent for the other players and make it hard to hit other players off. It gives her one hit kills and she has a lot of fun playing as the girl characters. We’ve had a ton of fun with the Nintendo Labo Variety Kit too, and I make her do all the directions which really stretches out those projects. I am surprise it help her attention for 2 hours to make the fishing game. The motorbike toys also work in Mario Kart now too. The Pokemon Lets Go games have a really good coop mode where the second player is the opposite gender and they can roam the world, throw poke balls, and battle along side you with an additional turn. She can just pop in and join at and time, then drop out. We’ve also played Arms briefly by facing off against each other with the Joycon motion controls. 1-2 Switch is surprisingly good, with the QuickDraw and Fake Draw games being two of our favorites. But it is simple and works surprisingly well for a 4 year old. I’ve yet to try Hyrule Warriors, but I think that could work since it’s just a button masher. I’ve also have not tried Kirby Star Allies. On 3DS we do Mario Party Top 100 since it’s single cart. We borrowed a 3rd 3DS from the library and played Triforce Heroes. She loved it, but took some effort to get my wife to play with us since it requires 3 people.
