I never thought I'd buy a Mario game but I'm actually having a lot of fun with New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe or whatever the gently caress jumble of a name it is. I fell into a YouTube rabbit hole of beating the game in fun and stupid ways (lowest possible score, never hitting right on the d-pad, etc.) and ended up wanting to check it out. I picked it up during this sale, along with Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze, and they're both great. I actually bounced off of Yooka Laylee and the Impossible Lair, I didn't care for the movement controls and the overworld exploration was sometimes kind of frustrating when I just wanted to get to a new area. Maybe after I've had my fill of these two I'll go back to that.

Have I got a shocking video for you! https://youtu.be/2nseQFs2Rrc

:agreed:

Though I am having more fun than I expected replaying Diablo 3 on switch. I think it's because I never got a chance to play Necromancer since I had quit by the time it was added. I'm bouncing around on builds constantly as I get equipment, though. I kind of miss the planning/commitment involved in Diablo 2.

20 years ago sure. But it's 2020 now and I'm not restarting just because I think I came up with a real fun build idea

And sure you could download mods and try to make a 20 year old game have modern qol improvements or I can just play something that already has them and is fun

The thing I really do hate about D3 is that you can't just hack and slash with a magic user. D2, my first playthrough I was a necromancer and I still just hacked everything up with whatever cool weapons I found, all while making their corpses explode around me and shooting bone spears.

I actually kind of like the way they got around this with the Necromancer in particular, since no matter what weapon I am holding I can still do my ethereal scythe slashes and drain life attack. I just picked up a two handed sword with high damage and it doesn't really play any differently. (I suppose that's a good thing and a bad thing, really.) I have to admit though, one of my favorite things in Diablo 2 was making fringe builds like an enchant sorceress who used demon crank or whatever the exploding crossbow was and dumping piercing/exploding bolts on groups of enemies. Unfortunately, Diablo 2 was SUPER unfriendly with elemental immunities in Hell difficulty, so some builds could run into a brick wall at the very end.

I have to admit, now that I have to constantly go to work and keep up with routine poo poo the idea of starting over is a lot less appealing.

By the way, I noticed a bunch in stock at my local Target and Walmart this week. I think there was a big restock if anyone is looking for a copy.

There had to have been. I've been seeing ads pop up on social media specifically for Ring Fit, and that's officially the first time I've ever typed "ring fit"

Really enjoying the combat in Astral Chain a whole bunch, although the default normal difficulty mode is way too easy, I’ve only encountered one difficult fight whatsoever. Hopefully unlocking new difficulties will test me.

But holy poo poo is there a terrible COPS anime sim attached to this cool action game about aliens and it’s honestly pretty hard to chill out with a game about cool hero cops right now.

The hard mode in Astral Chain isn't really that big of jump in difficulty for the most part (except for like a few bosses). However, the post-game cases get significantly more and more difficult. Plus, the post-game is also as long or longer than the main game in terms of combat time.

I saw the Ring Fit blurb on the News channel last night. So I checked my Best Buy/Amazon/EBGames tabs that I check daily.
Best Buy Canada was sold out online, but 2 out of the 10 closest stores had the Reserve option. Got my confirmation today! Woohoo!
Let's hope I don't get the Covid picking it up, might affect my stamina slightly.

Spelunky is my most played game on Steam and it's weird that it's not on Switch because it's on most other things and it's very much a "play 1-2 quick games per day forever" type of game that works well on handhelds.

Both are backwards compatible on Xbox One and are available in the digital shop. Also I'm pretty sure you can grab either of them cheap used if you want a disc.

So randomly today the buttons on my right joycon don’t work. The joystick works and clicking the joystick works, but A, B, X, Y, R, ZR, and the Home button do not respond. The left joycon works fine. Any idea how to fix this?

Edit: Tried everything, updating the controllers finally worked!

The base building looks closer to something like Fallout Shelter than XCOM. And the combat looks like 1 v 1 robot punching with no tactical moving / cover at all?

Why the gently caress are the A and B buttons backwards on Dark Souls Remastered??

The question you should be asing is "why are the A and B buttons only correct in Dark Souls and backwards in every other instance on the Switch."

Making the right-most face button the "yes" button is blasphemy.
