All I want you to do is to post in this thread a video, screenshot, or even a text description of the coolest thing you've done in a Switch game. That's it. Do that until sometime Monday evening (US Eastern time) and I'll give you the gang tag. If you've posted it before in this or another thread, feel free to quote it here and I'll count it.

If you have any preferences on where to place the tag let me know, otherwise I'll put it above other tags but below custom text. I'll also let you know if there's text limit issues for whatever reason.

Nothing huge but it is at least Mario golf related. My first hole in one for Super Rush happened when I was on a conference call for work. I yelled out a emphatic “gently caress Yeah!!” in triumph only to realize I was not on mute. I’ve made it all the way through COVID and I managed to out myself playing Mario golf of all things.

First played Celeste on a friend's switch taking turns off and on. By the time we started on the B sides I was hooked enough to get the game myself and rushed through it. After spending hours dying a hundred times on 1-B when I was back at my friends house again trying to progress on our save file on his copy I managed to no death clear it.

Also in MH Rise first final boss clear on the update that added the 'real' final boss my killing blow as landing the hammer Water Strike counter on a hit that would have otherwise been my last cart had the counter not connected.

I'm starting realize the appeal of a golf game versus a tennis game. Aside from the fact that Nintendo seems to invest more into Golf, maybe because it's such a popular sport in Japan, it also actually has a single player appeal since you're always able to best your score, per hole or per course. You can't do that in tennis, not really anyway, aside from a wall or something like. You need to have a decent AI to really make it work.

Or a good story mode, which aces did not have

I beat the final final boss in DQ11 without remembering about the mechanic you're supposed to do. It is apparently possible. I was max level, the fight took about an entire hour, and I barely survived, but I did it!

If you want a fun time look up a video of someone beating it in two turns.

I think the coolest thing I did on my Switch is actually finish sooo many games (especially indie games) I started on other platforms and stopped, mainly because it was either on PC, meaning I have to sit at the machine I work all day on, or on a PS. I don't know what it is about the Switch, maybe just the thing that I can pick it from the dock, and continue playing in bed or in the garden or wherever.

Also I think I'm easily in thousand of hours on this thing and never had stick drift, I think that's also an achievement!

I think for me it was just beating Blue Moon Dunes on Golf Story (what an emotional curveball that was). I legitimately had to stop myself spiking the drat Switch Lite like a football... :golfclap:

Kind of want to replay Golf Story again. Might wait on Mario Golf and see if there's talk of adding more courses later. I played the first two at a friend's and they felt a bit too similar for their only being 6 of them. Despite them being just 9 holes in Golf Story each course felt really interesting and unique.

I almost did it myself, first attempt, because I didn't remember the thing I was supposed to do. I was actually doing fine until the fucker started getting a turn for every one of my party and wiped me in a single round. He just does SO MUCH loving DAMAGE HOLY poo poo.

Also my controversial opinion, they should have indeed removed an act from the game, but not the third act. Act 3 is fine. Act 2 is the unnecessary one.

It does, act 2 is way too long and substantial to essentially be tossed out, even though the post-act 2 ending stands well on its own. I think it would have worked better with a shorter Act 2 where it's determined that Veronica's death is
a path to a bad end and she needs to be saved to be able to stop morde/act3boss

There's a reason, albeit a lovely one. The game is a closed time loop because it has to happen that way because it's a prequel to Dragon Quest 3

I'm, I'd guess, 3/4 through the story mode in golf and I think it's been good. It's been a very effective tutorial teaching you strategy and mechanics of the game, with a couple of mild difficulty plateaus that felt good to overcome.

I got really excited when I found the NPCs talking about "Treasure Corner" and thought I'd have to investigate those particular holes to find some sort of secret that unlocked an optional bonus. Turns out there's nothing there and you just come back later and it's part of the main story. The game is super handholdy even after you've been playing for hours and there's barely anything off the beaten path or optional tasks. Also the last 1/4 of it is by far the worst. It goes off the rails fast and then quickly ends with a wet thud. Not sure if it was a pandemic thing or if the game was just rushed, but the backend of story mode feels particularly slapped together. Another interesting thing is the inclusion of "food shop" NPCs in basically every area that are completely useless. Feels like there was supposed to be some food eating system either for stats or XP or something that got scrapped halfway through.

Also I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure the only actually tournament you enter in the game is the one on the rookie course in the first 5 minutes. How you gonna make a golf story mode with no golf tournaments?

splatoon 2 is excellent, it has a very solid campaign and an even better campaign as DLC, features a lot of good customization and is just generally a really fun game

my only criticisms of it are 1) it can be a bit frustrating to play against bad connections, but that's like any shooter, and 2) they tie stat buffs to particular pieces of equipment which can be a bit stifling

but overally yeah imo it's still one of the best games on the system, definitely top five for me anyway

it's funny as hell that they go to all of this trouble introducing the other characters and having your little house that you live in and then you talk to them like two more times and then they vanish for the rest of the game

Whenever I get a new console, one of my first things is to download and play a couple of solo Fortnite games on it - I don't really play the game much at all, it's just kind of a ritual for a new console for me. I'd never even gotten close to winning a match until I got my Switch, installed Fortnite, and proceeded to knock out two #1 victories in a row on my first two games. I have not managed anything cool on my Switch since.
