The bosses being a complete pushover in Cadence is probably my biggest problem with it. They're just so darn cool but then you kill them in 8 seconds. Total letdown.

In particular, most of them have such predictable patterns that you can kinda just jump around near them and they just go down before really becoming much of a threat. Especially so with the morning star.

Basically if sticking to sword is going to make the game feel "meatier" or every dungeon threatening in its own way I want that experience. If the original necrodancer is anything to go by, the difficulty is balanced well enough for this?


Cool cool cool, I think I'll avoid purchasing a better weapon for now. I'm still poking around just getting the lay of the land

You can change your collected weapons anytime in the menu so you don't need to avoid anything

1-2 switch isn't the only game that requires joycons, 3rd party games need them too, I still don't believe they'll just make a solid mass. The rumors say the smaller version looks surprising and unvita like, so we'll see.

My baseless speculation is that you'll still be able to pair/use external joycons for games that require it, or couch play if the system can still be docked.

Yeah, I think a fair compromise would have been that death just puts you back at the start of the boss room instead of back at the start of the dungeon (unless maybe it already keeps the boss door open for you? I haven't died to a boss yet), but the boss also gets more health to start.

Though it's not like the dungeons here are as long as Necrodancer, anyway.

Still been a blast to play, though. That's just a minor thing.

This is the biggest bummer as they have such great songs tied to them.

Hell the ice boss can summon minions and they can kill the boss for you. I wish they had way more hp or something.

Nintendoland still works with just the wii upad only. They don't have any games that don't use the base controller. Same with the wii. The joycons are the system. Not saying they won't, just that it's unprecedented. And a disclaimer wouldn't help. People were still buying wii u games for the wii.

I remember being so pumped for Nintendoland thinking it was going to be some virtual theme park chocked full of minigames and maybe even an MMO/Social Hub element to it.

I'm really surprised they didn't bolt on some kind of online multiplayer, no exaggeration, it was the best multiplayer game on the system.

Try to get enough diamonds to buy a heart and a weapon when you die. Then it's pretty simple from there on out. It's less of a rhythm game and more of a puzzle game where you have to learn the enemy movement patterns and then react to them in a limited amount of time. You'll die a lot early on, that's how you'll learn. Once you get a weapon that allows you to attack from another angle the game gets a lot easier.

Is the death room heart considered part of 100% the game or is it a "bonus"?

There's no possible way I'm going to grind out magic levels, though. I know how to do it easily but I just can't do it. I'm getting pumped to move on to Trials.

Pokémon Sword/Shield in a few months. There’s nothing else really like Pokémon on the system. Let’s Go are remakes of the first Pokémon games and I found them a good point for getting back into the series.

I tried doing this for the PC version of the game for the achievement but I just couldn't because I forgot until the very end that magic only levels if you just spam it and it doesn't scale with higher level enemies. For a game that I didn't find myself grinding in, I wasn't about to start the very end. It's a really bad system.

The irony for me is that I wanted achievements because when I had a lot of time on my hands in the 360 era I had fun grinding them out and completing games 100% but lord almighty that was such a timesink, I just can't do it anymore and nor do I want to. I'm glad that I don't have to even think about it on the Switch. At least on Steam I can cheat them if I want, but I don't even care to do that... I do hate seeing that I don't have them all though.

Well, I guess. Once magic is about 4th level, it trivializes pretty much all the content. There is no reason to get it up to max level.

Considering going from 8 to 9 (max) would be 100 casts per character, per school.

Achievements would be fun to me if the whole list of locked achievements was hidden because then it would be encouragement to play around with stuff and try new things instead of just being a busywork list. Red Dead Redemption had a secret achievement for placing a hogtied person on train tracks and watching them get run over, and I remember thinking it was so cool that the game acknowledged it when I wasn't expecting it to. Like, imagine if BotW had an achievement for eating poo poo hard enough while shield surfing and you had no idea it was coming until it actually popped up.

It's a very simplified remake of the Gen 1 games. You get an overpowered starter and in the case of Eevee get some insanely broken moves. the catching is done like Go so there's no wild battles (a plus, in my opinion). all pokemon roam in the overworld and there's some neat catching mechanics to trigger rare and shiny spanwns (basically you chain catch the same pokemon to get better stats and higher odds at shinies). There's no breeding, EVs, or safari zone (it's replaced with the Pokemon Go transfer station) but the game is legit fun. Just not very challenging unless you want to do the master trainers which involves battling a trainer for a specific pokemon (there's 150 of them) so if you want a challenge you can try those.

Double Dragon Neon does this with the ending credits there's a line in the credits song, sung by the final boss that goes “here’s a medal for your victory,” and an achievement/trophy pops right there

It runs at a stable 30 on Switch. It runs at 60 on other consoles.

It’s no MK8D but worth a try if you want more.
