So I have a correction to make: Last night I posted that the true ending Area of Blaster Master Zero 1 had no save points which is why I gave up when it turns out there IS a save point that I either didn't find before my break or flew right past, blind to it. Secondly, you can STRAFE?! I went through that entire loving game wishing it was possible to strafe, if I had knew that I would've crushed that boss rush and gotten the true ending myself! In the end, I am dumb and retract my statement of the endgame being bullshit.

4 chapters in on Astral Chain and it seems pretty great. Playing on casual and it's pretty easy so far, but the story/concept/presentation are so good I'm really enjoying it. Played through The Ninja Saviors: Return of the Warriors a couple of times. Definitely like that they added the arcade music, that first track is so good. Pretty solid SNES beat'em up, does get a little annoying at times when enemies move off screen. One of the new characters was ok, the other has a really awkward control scheme that seemed complicated for no reason. Edit: Bonus unrelated question, why did the retro thread disappear?

So my original joycons have this issue where when detached from the console itself I assume the signal gets interference and will start freaking out and not registering inputs but physically they’re fine. Is this the dreaded joycon drift or some other issue? And if so are they endemic to the joycon hardware or an issue with my switch overall? I wanna get the purple spice joycons but I don’t want them to not work properly

My kid turns 7 in a few weeks and can't even handle controlling the camera with the analog stick in DQXI, despite us playing it together for like a year. It takes him like a minute just to get his character turned around, forget about actually navigating anywhere in any sort of timeframe below "frustrated and attention waning". He loves to watch me play though.

I'm now playing Bayonetta for the first time. The only thing I knew about the game was what I could glean from Smash Ultimate. Also the only Platinum game I've played is Nier Automata.

The story in Bayonetta is so loving bad that it distracted me from the game. Some of it was fun to play but there's so much absolute nonsense happening in cutscenes. I wanted to love it.

Ring Fit Adventure Trip report: Im so loving out of shape my dog is laughing at me Full disclosure, If you don't regularly exercise at all and this game asks you how much you exercise, don't be a tough guy, don't a fool, call me. I'll tell ya to tell the truth, pull up your adult pants and dig deep, this job/game will kill you and the people that surrounding you in life and who rooted for you will know your a fraud. Tell the game/world the truth you're a clown, fat, stupid and unqualified, but with a little help Ring Fit Adventure can mold you into a better person or we'll throw you out

Your Computer posted:I already knew some people boycotted the game because the devs didn't remove the voiceline from jontron, and I do agree that's lovely (even if it's just a little voice clip on a random npc) but did they say/do more or is that the extent of "the devs are gamergaters"? There was a bit of a schism in the dev team about the JonTron issue. But iirc the main point of shittiness was the lead dev. Who also had a bad history with plagiarizing and stealing game mods for a different game.

Why play Hat in Time when Mario Odyssey is right there? I bought it on PC after a sale and its ok I guess. I didn't even know about the Jontron drama but I definitely haven't had any desire to go back to it

Loads of reports online that A Hat runs like poo poo on Switch. Lags on the very first level. The devs on twitter today mentioned they're aware of issues but it looks like it was release wayyyy too early.

The first Yooka-Laylee. Unlike Hat in Time, the Yooka-Laylee developers pretty promptly removed his voice work prior to release. Efb. There's a second one now that's much, much better than the first: Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair!

It's nice to have variety and new games to play.sucks to hear about the lead dev tho, and it's not surprising to hear the port runs bad either (the game had some issues even on a modern PC) I wasn't in a hurry to buy it since I've already played it, but I'll probably just skip it in this case.
