Set up my OG Switch at my parents' place, and my son was using dual joycons in the cradle for Mario Kart. While the lights never faltered, and there was never a message about disconnection, frequently, his button presses wouldn't register, specifically the A button. My 8bitdo was fine. The Switch was set up right behind the tv. Anyone else experience this?

Miyamoto has suggested remaking Zelda 2 a few times throughout the years so I figured it’ll eventually happen.

The Switch was set up right behind the tv. Yes, I have. Joycon range seems severely impacted if it doesn’t an unblocked line to sight to the system. Putting it in a glass cabinet or behind a TV kills the range for mine. SeANMcBAY fucked around with this message at 17:25 on Dec 31, 2019 |

A Robot Named Fight has a great gameplay loop, but the execution is marred by somewhat janky controls. There are also particular rooms and bosses that you either need to take painfully slow, or get iced when you take too many hits if you didn't luck into enough powerups. Honestly I think a lot of the game's problems could be solved if you started with 12 max HP instead of 8.

Hoping someone can recommend me a Switch game. My favorite gameplay loop is refining my performance through repeated attempts. The absolute zenith of this for me is the Rogue Squadron games, attempting to get all the medals. Honorable mention goes to Perfect Dark, running through missions over and over trying the get the best time to unlock things. I've got $50 of Mario bux and hoping to find a good match for me.

I was going to recommend sky rogue, but it's a roguelike so the maps are not the same, so you can't really replay the maps over and over in that fashion.

Getting the golden speed run medals in DKC:TF is probably one of the toughest feats in all of gaming.

Katana Zero will take you about 3 hours to master which is fine I guess but you'll have to find something else to use the rest of that $50 gift card on.

Don't use the slow down in Katana Zero unless you absolutely have to. There's no penalty for using it and no benefit for not using it except that I think it's more fun without it. You can actually shut it off entirely in speedrun mode.

You can also do singleplayer, I guess, but it's super good for multiplayer.

Maybe they’ll announce a US date in the next Direct. I’ll just import the JP or EU copy if not. I’m probably the only one here that likes the series but Concentration Training on 3DS is one of my favorites on the system.

I didn't even know they were making a new Brain Training. Considering what a boomer juggernaut that series was you'd have thought they'd have made more of an effort to market it. Missing Christmas is bizzare too since everyone would've gotten it for their auld da'.

I'm not saying don't get the game because the game is loving fun as hell, but I did manage to 100% the game in like 4 hours of playtime, which was disappointing. It's incredibly easy. But if you have cash leftover and really like katana zero you might also try my friend Pedro. Mechanically similar, but graphically different. And my friend Pedro is quite a bit more difficult

How long is my friend Pedro? Also, for a game like that I'd really prefer less plot/conversation/etc and more playing the game. Does it do the katana zero "now watch a 16-bit movie for five minutes" thing (I know this is a petty thing but 🤷♀️)

It's got the same bullet time mechanic, plus it has upgrades and weapons, so you won't be using the same stuff all over. And yes, there's no watch a 16 bit movie for five minutes thing.
