Has anyone checked out the Persona 5 Scramble demo? I know it's only in the Japanese E shop right now but that's probably not an obstacle for some people.

Use WiFi when downloading. 5Ghz WiFi is faster than downloading with the Ethernet adapter. It’s stupid but it’s the case.

That's weird. I have a wired connection so I just assumed that was faster for downloading. If things are that goofy for Nintendo then I guess that's actually entirely on brand :v:

If it's not actually moving at all, do you have a game that's currently online running? The Switch won't download anything while a game is online.

not much different for the rest of the industry. the only news we've gotten on any games for any platform so far this year has been "(X) has been delayed"

at some point there will be a ps5 event but who knows when

It's times like these that you really need that third party to really pick up the slack and put some stuff out. I'm playing Sekiro right now, gonna do that PS+ BioShock 1 when that's done, probably start DMC5 when that's over and hopefully finish in time for Granblue Fantasy: Versus in March and that'll probably hold me until Animal Crossing later that month. If not then I dunno I could start RE2 or start in on this Division 2 I picked up for a few bucks. Hey if you got a backlog just have at it!

I think it's wild that out of all the games to not get DLC we never did get any boards for Mario Party.

The ones in the game right now are pretty terrible so it would of been nice to get feedback on how to improve them and bam something decent could be salvaged but nope. Just the base 3-4 super small crappy ones.

I didn't realize they updated the roster. I might have to buy it while it's on sale. The first one just made me wish EA would make a new NBA Jam. How is this game? Is it filled with too many microtransactions?

It’s fun but the card system to unlock players can be frustrating if you want someone specific. I wish someone would remake NBA Street or maybe finally get around to Mutant Basketball League.

Or driving games in general. I could use something to bum around in when I'm drunk.

I miss when driving games were fun, like early Need for Speed or Burnout. Seems like everything's either cart races or simulators, and whatever's left in the middle is in gacha hell.

A Tetris game on Virtual Console/Switch Online will probably never happen but I'd love to have Tetris Battle Gaiden on this.

Yeah it's a pretty short demo, about an hour and just covers an extended intro/tutorial section. Game seems pretty fun though. I am curious what the balance in the real game will be between big Warriors style brawls and small blink-and-it's-over fights. Load times are pretty long which is a bit concerning though. Anyway it was nice to have played a bit of the game while waiting for the still not announced English version.

It's basically impossible to get TTC to let you publish something that has the word tetris in the name digitally, they have some kind of loving equivalent exchange thing where one always has to get de-listed before a new one goes up


there was recent tetris de-listing

Crash Team Racing is pretty good, dunno how the switch version is.

Don't get dissuaded by the MTX they patched in awhile ago. The team behind the game have gone on record saying Activision kinda forced them to put it in, and ever since then they've been steadily increasing the rewards so people wouldn't have to spend any money on the cash shop at all. (They've been going out of their way to include month long events that just give you a ton of in game cash to buy everything)


Actual racing is super skill based and most of the maps are pretty fun. There's a new map added everything month so the list just keeps getting bigger and bigger.
Only downside is that the online can be hit or miss in getting into a room and the items are completely faithful to the PS1 version of the game- aka not tested for online play at all so it's hard to catch up to people cruising way ahead of you.

Shoulda said I'm not that interested in going straight to a Mario Kart clone, but looking for something different. I used to like Need for Speed Underground back in the day. Apparently GRID is a decent jack of all trades as racing games go?

I'd go for something on PC, but I could never manage to get a controller plug working and just cannot be arsed now. Maybe I should get a steering wheel.

Last I heard is that they flat out won't allow publishing any game that doesn't comply with the current "Tetris Guideline" rule set. So basically any Tetris game more than 10 years old is never going to see the light of day again.

It is, though it's more on the sim side. Not like, Forza/GT levels but moreso than NFS or Forza Horizon, if that makes sense.

I use a Wired PDP Bonetroller, with the default/downloaded fanmade controller binding in Steam for PC games. Build quality is drat good, depending on the finish.
