Seconding this question. It mentions being able to multiplayer on the Vacant Island, how much space is that? Is that the whole game or just an area? It seems so neat to be able to multiplayer it but if it's real limited I know I'll be disappointed.

The demo island is the vacant island, pretty sure. It looks like Terra Icognita from the first game, though it looks like it can be expanded pretty nicely out into the ocean. From the description, there's just no local multiplayer without a second Switch and copy of the game.

But it might just be building without being able to go on adventures together, unless that's an unadvertised feature. You can set it to either let your friends build, too, or to just look around.

Well, I beat SNK Heroines already after buying it on Sunday on the Gamestop sale. I'm not sure how KOF and other variants are supposed to play but there was no ducking or high/mid/low attacks. Just a special attack, two physical attacks, and some kind of grapple. Story mode is just the selected tag team having a couple lines of dialogue at the start and just prior to the final boss. The rest of the character events are standalone with them talking to themselves while a camera watches.There are certain parings required to unlock special character art. Unlocking all the special artwork changes the credits theme. I only paid $10 so I can let it slide, but that was a full price game with a $120 limited edition.

I also took advantage of the weekend sale and picked up a copy. Haven't played it yet, but I was really surprised to hear from a video review that there was no ducking. Still sounds like the game isn't a total loss for $10 though. Just nowhere near a competent fighting game.

One of my good friends feels this way; no matter what, he absolutely prefers physical over digital, and only made a brief exception a few years ago when a huge number of Star Wars games went on a crazy sale on Steam.

I'm the total opposite and can't imagine not preferring having everything on my Switch at all times :shrug: I sort of get that whole 'you don't own digital things', but I'm fairly sure Nintendo aren't just going to render my games useless any time soon.

Lol, no. Not when the average game on most consoles lands around the 20+GB mark and a lot of people have download limits to contend with.

Wasn't that other game that had some sort of coding thing in it as an easter egg removed from the eshop? I get that a title here or there would be taken off, but I meant the eshop in general. Yeah, two generations from now, I'm sure the Switch eShop won't be accessible (or the future systems will just be backwards-compatible, hopefully), but whatever, that's fine. If I had NES games in carts right now, it would be very unlikely that I'd be loading them up, vs playing my modded Wii with all of those games and more installed on them.

Just finished Specter Knight. Treasure Trove is a real good deal. I think I'll do some NG+, 100% item completion, and challenges later. King Knight is going to be great considering the quality they put out. My backlog still contains Steamworld Dig 2, Road Redemption, Rain World, Baba is You, and Wargroove. I think I'm going to try Road Redemption and take breaks from that with Baba is You, or the other way around.

I need to get back into Rain World, but it's still a frustrating experience. I should probably play it on easy, but I hear you don't experience all the enemies mobs, and frankly that's the fun of the game. I just wish dying wasn't so damned costly. And that I knew what I was doing.

Wargroove is fine, I never did get very far into it, maybe 8 or 10 campaign missions in only, but it didn't grip me right away, so I'm hoping it'll pick up.

I own three physical games. SMOdyssey, BotW, and Starlink. I'm pretty sure that absent a cool CE or something I'll never buy another one.

The minor annoyance of having to retrieve and switch out the physical game meant these three had a "who's best" deathmatch and now Starlink lives forever in the Switch, BotW and SMO sit in their cases on a shelf somewhere, and I switch software with the press of a button.

"But JS," you say, "how could Starlink beat BotW in a deathmatch?!?! It's unpossible!"

I’ve been 100% digital for two years now because disc drives and physical media have much more likely failure states than digital.

I also took way too long to realize that selling a stack of my 6 favorite Last-Gen games for one new current gen game is bad value, and it’s better to just have the games you pay for.

I’ve lived in Major US Cities for the last 15 years and I’ve never had a bandwitdth cap or heard of anyone having one.

It’s just neat to know I’ve got my whole library everywhere I go!

I'm having a fun time with Shakedown Hawaii. It's one of the weirdest games I've ever played, it's like a western version of a SUDA 51 idea under the GTA gaze and with MS-DOS games aesthetics cranked up. Probably one of the coolest loving soundtracks of any game I can remember, too. The whole real estate sub-game is just a bunch of numbers and values I barely understand so I just Do Stuff and then Stuff Happens, but there's a lot of that Stuff. It's strange but enjoyable and relaxing to play.

Eh the platforning in act raiser wasn't perfect but at the time it was snappy and fun. Do y'all remember unlocking "professional" mode, which was just sidescroller levels back to back, no town building?

That was a cool post-game unlock

I stopped buying physical video games in 2011 and the only way I'll ever go back is if I stop moving around constantly and want to build a retro library again because I'm a goody two-shoes and won't use a ROM or dump a BIOS that isn't mine.

I may be remembering the difficulty of the platforming sections as they were in Act Raiser 2, a game which did not so much kick my rear end as a young person as transport me to a parallel universe where I have infinite asses and it has infinite feet

I don't see how it makes any difference to the dev whether you download a ROM or buy a used copy of an old game, they don't see any cash either way. Collecting and playing physical retro games is fun in its own right though.

I'm that much of a goody two shoes that I gotta be legal even if it helps literally no one but second hand shops. Collecting is, though, super fun and I used to do it before I started moving across the US/Globe pretty regularly.

It has also driven me to buy a shitload of retro-game releases on current gen/PC/iPhone so sorry everyone, I'm the problem!

Oh dude Act Raiser 2 is just hosed, no idea what happened there. But yeah they got rid of the town sim stuff, cranked up the difficulty to hell, gave you a useless glide that got you into trouble more than it helped, and got rid of every single rpg or collectibles element. So it was basically just a terrible and unfair platformer with a really cool looking wrapper

I bet there's an interesting story hidden behind what may have been the biggest disappointment of my entire childhood. But yeah the first Act Raiser kicks a ton of rear end and is a gold star snes game

That reminds me I also have to beat Starlink. I was hoping to pick-up the Star Fox DLC on sale, but I've actually never seen it on sale and something tells me it won't be going on sale so I should probably just pick it up and finish the game, which I remember pretty fondly.

Out of curiosity, what makes you think your off-the-shelf flash storage is going to last longer than the flash storage used for Switch games? Pretty sure microsd card failure rates are higher than cart failure rates if the Switch and 3DS threads are any indication.

I got DOOM used physical because I couldn't wait for a sale on the eShop to see what all the fuss was about. Totally worth it. And I got bloodstained physical from my wii u Kickstarter. Other than that, all digital. Already filled one 128gb card, have another, but don't really wanna swap around until I know what is gonna be on them. Maybe big third party\f2p on one and indie\Nintendo on the the other. But where do the ubi projects go?
