Midjack posted:Ouya refugee game that seems to have succeeded anyway. It's a really good game. It's pretty hilarious that this was an OUYA EXCLUSIVE though and ironically the push they got from being the one good Ouya game really helped on other platforms. It's also the kind of game that is easy to pick up and play for all skill levels, my friends that are not good enough at Smash can pick up and win a match just fine. It's 6 players local, and our weekend group varies in size from 2-8 people depending on the week so it's nice to have options Towerfall: very popular Smash: very popular but some of us like it way more than others (And personally I prefer it as a 1v1 serious business game) Jackbox Games: BReak the Internet, Quiplash and Fibbage are all popular. These actually work with my wife + her friends too, who typically do not play games at all. Looper posted:case closed I don't disagree at all, but I do think it's funny that the Switch is literally just better versions of all of those games that sell 10 times better. I think I bought about 7 games for the Wii U, but they were all extremely good games that I was happy with. And then I bought some of them on Switch again anyway, because they were better versions of extremely good games. I don't think the Switch would have had as strong of a launch as it did if it wasn't just fixing the mistakes of Wii U era nintendo

The Wii U's library was pretty strong, I got the impression that they were trying pretty hard to win back the core audience after a perception that they'd alienated them with the later years of the Wii. Just took a bit long for enough of those games to actually come out, and few of them were marketed at all. (Splatoon aside) The Switch is definitely something of a clean break from the Wii U's mistakes and also learning from them, and realising people actually liked the idea of a hybrid home console/portable that half of everyone assumed the Wii U was. Also, that you actually need to market the thing properly so people know what it is.

I briefly worked retail at the time and probably 90% of parents had questions about it. Most thought it was just a fancy controller. "We already have a Wii and enough controllers." Really it was just a terribly named and marketed product.

Pikmin and Mario Kart are the only games I wanted from the WiiU onto my switch and were 50% there.

Yeah, there are some real caveats for even the people who liked XCX calling it a good game (myself included), and the top of that list is "they released what they could get finished". It is so blatantly incomplete that there's no acceptable way you could port it in the state it's in and still slide on that excuse. Tokyo Mirage Sessions actually probably wouldn't require much in the way of re-negotiations considering it was a WiiU exclusive and they're making Shin Megami Tensei V as a Switch exclusive anyway (ie; they have both the means and motive to do it).

I know I'm kinda a white noise poster but this community is one that I've belonged to for almost 15 years and it's one of the few places I feel safe to talk about things. My father committed suicide on Tuesday and the whole family is just broken. I am still in shock, I keep going through waves of emotions and I am just so scared. I don't know what my brothers and I are going to do, I don't know what my mother is going to do, and I am just empty inside right now. Tell the people around you that you love them, please be kind to each other and be there for each other. I just needed to vent, I'm sorry for getting so serious in the games nintendo chat thread. Thank you.

The best you can do is be there for your family. The funeral was a way to reconnect with a lot of people and it made me appreciate my extended family a lot more. Share as much as you can. Cry and laugh a lot. You’ll get through this. All my best.

Fun Times! posted:It got used to every ounce of potential it had I disagree since no game outside of Nintendo Land really used the dual screen aspect in any innovative way. That's always struck me as weird. Nintendo Land was the clear attempt at a proof of concept for the tablet controller, and then they never iterated on any of the ideas.

There were a couple of games where the multiplayer used the asynchronous screen and there was ZombiU which used it in gameplay but yes, basically nothing ever made use of it well because it turns out that was a weak concept and an abysmal execution

 AUSGOONSHarvey Norman is apparently gearing up for a massively-discounted games clearance sale online and in-store that SHOULD have actually started about 40 minutes ago at midnight. Some of these look to have gone live on the Harvey Norman website already, some are still showing original price, though apparently prices may vary between retail stores and online, so  .Nintendo Switch games include;
Additionally you can get a Nintendo Switch (Neon) for only $399AUD, online or instore. You can also use the code "GAMESCENTRAL" to knock 5% off your purchase on their online store.ONE YEAR LATER posted:I know I'm kinda a white noise poster but this community is one that I've belonged to for almost 15 years and it's one of the few places I feel safe to talk about things.

Thank you all for the kind words. I'm really thankful that I was only a few hours away from my mother instead of her being back in NY. The drive over to tell her yesterday was hell, she knew something was wrong all morning and kept calling my brother but he couldn't tell her over the phone. As soon as I pulled up she just started crying and I had to hold her up so she didn't fall over. Why yes I come from a family of emotional Italians, why do you ask?

I played a bunch of games (mostly driving sims) on a Rift DK1 which had a similarly low resolution.

Someone else can likely beat me to posting it (I am looking for the link now), but there was a Discord set up a few months ago for goons to talk through some heavier stuff that came out of the Steam thread. It was nice to pop in from time to time. It's a no judgement zone, so the people there are great to bounce your thoughts off of. Whether you stop by there or not, take it easy and make your own health a priority.

I can't believe those VR Kit toyscons have been in front of us the entire time... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3Bd3HUMkyU&t=118s $80 seems incredibly high for this kit, $40 that they've been going for recently seem like the perfect price point. I realize they are selling them with expansions, but hopefully that means there will just be a deep clearance on all this stuff a year from now
