Z so good

get that OUT of my face posted:

Do you actually though? Startropics 2 isn't terrible but it's a far cry from the original. Earthbound Beginnings is one of the best RPGs on the NES, which is a pretty damning indictment of that genre on that console.

ST2 is like an improvement in every way. They got rid of the weird movement system, the graphics and animation are far better, and the world is also a lot more interesting than just exploring islands and caves like in the original.

Why haven't we seen another Tactics Ogre game? I'm super into Three Houses but its got me thinking a lot about Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together (which shares the branching narrative, and ability to rewind turns). Bring Tactics Ogre to the Switch. And you know what, I've seen and heard a heap of Persona comparisons, but I feel like Trail of Cold Steel's academy is a better comparison to the monastery and calendar. Bring Legend of Heroes to the Switch.

Bring all games to the Switch.

So I'm waiting for the revised Switch to come out and I already picked out my sd card and case but was wondering which gamepad to get. Should I get one of the 8bitdo pads or the Pro controller? I heard some people say the dpad on the Pro sucks? Does the stick on that also get drift? The sn30 pro usb is way cheaper though.

Gonna be funny if it ends up hackable and this thread ends up with people posting "I hacked my switch lite and connected it to a tv and now it's melted what do I do?"

The Switch uses a custom chip for outputting to HDMI via USB-C, I doubt they would bother to include it on the Lite.

Personally I like the pro controller, it's expensive but I like the long battery life(hear that Sony?!?) and the ability to wake the Switch with the home button, but I don't play many games that make extensive use of the D-pad, so depending on what you play the 8bitdo pad might be better. As far as I know drift is a joycon only thing.

the text in dqb2 is also crazy small and I think its maybe just some long running problem with games using a font designed for primarily displaying japanese characters???

or if not that, not changing text box sizes and limiting the replacement to being cramped

Man the PSP game was fantastic. It could be very dense though, if you’re a fan of tactics RPGs that stuff makes sense but it’s a lot more beginner friendly to just have “this guy touches this guy now he does damage”

the pro controller d pad design fundamentally stinks

but if you maybe can find a sale on it, it's great otherwise.




i'm still super tempted to get one of the 8bitdo things for the games where a d-pad is the best controls

The Switch is 40% battery at this point, any bigger and we'd be looking at a Atari Lynx+ format.

I bought a new model regular Switch for the increased battery life. Is there a way to copy the downloaded games from one to the other? I already transferred save files but my internet connection is quite slow so re-downloading the games themselves would take forever and I would like to play something tomorrow.

Do you not read them all to catch up on eShop releases anyway? Just a quick swipe over thumbnails lets me know what's usually on sale, when free Splatoon 2 items drop, or when, say, a new SEGA AGES game is coming.

This right here makes the Pro Controller the top choice if you're talking just Switch-compliant gear. It sounds like a small thing, but then you end up using it 99% of the time it's docked.
