I took the octopath less travelered,

And it made one-eighth the difference.
I keep my Switch from being stolen by selling it whenever I'm not using it and buying a new one when I feel like playing something.

Got teleported into a blocked off shop in Necrodancer. I had no bombs and couldn't break the wall so I basically had to wait until the song ended.

It dropped me into a room with minibosses and I immediately died. Thanks for wasting my time game

Read a couple reviews of CTR saying it ran decently on Switch. And one YouTube guy who can't fault the performance but despises the gameplay

You're always dropped into a miniboss room if you fail to complete the floor in time or fall down a trap door.

That's a pretty good idea so you can keep the matte finish on the screen fresh.

Nevermind, I heard (from Switchwatch their scores are a joke, but info is info) CTR is 30fps, so gently caress that. Guess I'm waiting for Virtua Racing next week or so instead.

Upcoming Luigi's Mansion 3 looks disappointingly unpolished. Like everything clips into everything else, the animations don't flow smoothly together they just override one another. There's a ghost dog that shows up on your screen with flashing button prompts from time to time, the money you find flies all over the place so it's irritating to gather if you wanted to do that. You are forced to use "gooigi" in order to open a lot of crates because it means you have to use the mechanic.

Luigi makes minion sounds constantly. Half the features of the game look like they were shoe horned in there by executives who didn't think the game was exciting enough. And graphic icons are gigantic and blurry and badly drawn and ugly. This is not the level of polish I have become accustomed to from Nintendo.

I was looking forward to this.

Oh, huh. It was looking pretty good to me from what I saw. Is this based off of the E3 footage, or did you get to play the build yourself?

Hopefully it does shape up by release.

It’s okay but it’s no Mario Kart. Like what I said with Sonic Team Racing, there’s really no reason to play it over MK8D unless you’re bored of that game and really want more kart racing.

And yeah, MK is 60fps while those 2 are 30 on Switch.

No I've just been watching other people play it. Maybe I'm old but I can't see myself enjoying it. I might go get the 3ds one from a few years ago that looked excellent and I never played it.

A friend of mine had it for Playstation back in the day :canada:, and it was arguably the best non-Need For Speed/Gran Turismo racing game of its generation, even against MTGP and MK64.
I never played DK Racing though.

speaking of which I'm anxious to see Switch footage for Bloodstained since the only footage I remember initially was from demo units that laughably were kept in tight boxes which made the Switches overheat so badly the entire game ran exponentially worse. Idk if any other footage exists besides from the nightmare sweatbox demo.

Nice, thanks for this. Normally I'm not a stickler for 30fps if it's locked (is it?) though in this case, the PS4 version just looks way better right now to me. Even with the portable aspect, Bloodstained has some really pretty grafix in full resolution so now I'm not sure which version I want. Of course you'd know better than I would, if the Switch graphics are that much of a downgrade from PS4/PC.

I will be buying Cadence of Hyrule one day (the name could've been CaDANCE but whatever), but the music is so so good. Baranowsky did a wonderful job with his own melodies and remixing around the standards. Especially, when you hear a small LttP lick show up, it's just delightful. Does Doom Mountain peaceful seem to have a bit of the X-Files theme in it? It's great.

My favorite still has to be the song of storms remix, it's so cool.

Well sounds like it crashed before you had installed the last pre release update

Possibly, I didn't get a prompt for the second patch after the first one loaded though, it just launched the game. Happy to report no further issues since, it plays identically to how it used to and it's a gorgeous nostalgia trip. The 30 fps isn't noticeable at all to me, but the always online requirement to earn in game currency is just awful, it's manageable in the house but who just leaves their switch connected all the time when out?
Overall I really like it, but the currency thing is weird, and I heard somewhere that you only get decent amounts of it while playing online too, which is a bummer since I didn't get switch online and the requirements for some of the unlocks are pretty steep. They don't do it as a straight up list of things you can work towards either, it's a daily deal list that refreshes every few hours.

I haven't ayed Luigi's Mansion in forever but wasn't having to vacuum up money always a thing? Iirc doesn't it even fade away after a couple seconds leaving you without money?

Although I thought watching gameplay was a valid way to form opinions about a game?

I had totally forgotten about luigio's spooky house 3 until I saw it in the Nintondo Direct but came out of that very impressed, imho???

the animation seem'd really great. the "override" opinion seems to me more just like the usual thing in a good game of the player input having priority over a prebaked animation being allowed to play out its whole set of frames before the requested action impacts the game state


maybe??

It's called Cadence of Hyrule because Cadence is the name of the main protagonist of Crypt of the Necrodancer. If they called it Cadance that would ruin the title having that nod to both series.

A real hellraiser


Yeah I've watched the same Luigi's Mansion 3 footage as you and I feel like it's one of the most polished looking games I've seen on the Switch. The animation is just gorgeous and the characters the most expressive they've ever done.

My only complaint is I don't like them killing ghosts with slamming. Slamming mechanic is a good idea but ghosts should be slammed down to 1hp and then sucked up. Doesn't feel right not capturing them.

Shaped like a friend

The only thing I can agree with is Luigi has this weird animation thing I saw in a few clips where he'd do his "Yow! A ghost" Animation with his upper body (arms stiff to his side, real big expressive teeth clinch look on his face) while his legs were like, still moving around normally. Luigi's upper half just pivoting around and leaning back and forth like one of those old weeble wobble toy things.

It looks really strange and funny- but not in a "we intended for this" kind of way.
