Majora’s Mask is the best Zelda, and that’s a title with some extremely stiff competition.

Kirby and the Forgotten Land is one of the best Switch games period, and one of the best games of 2022.

omori kicks rear end, feels like playing a gameboy colour rpg. it’s pretty funny and not as depressing as i thought though there is a powerful, potent, and growing feeling of impending dread (i’m like 5 hours in) and your phobias being the equivalent of water and boulders and grass in pokemon is also pretty funny.

The Triangle Strategy Demo is the first several chapters and your save Carrie’s over into the main game so there’s no reason not to try before you buy.

Since Triangle Strategy was mentioned, some of you may be very interested in this update. Supposed to be hitting the Switch too, but date hasn’t been confirmed.

The text from the store entry says they've switched it to unit-by-unit leveling, so it sounds like yeah.

Though I'm wondering if they'll make other balance changes. I'm spoiled by the One Vision mod now, which makes crafting much much better and also did a better job balancing all the classes (and making some more boring classes more fun).

Grave? Shovel! Let's go.

I just finished a playthrough of LUCT a couple of weeks ago, it's one of my favorite games.

I wonder if they'll tweak crafting? Even with savestates, savescumming that poo poo is a pain in the rear end.

Well the original version (or at least the PS1 I played) already had that and levelling was still painful lol

Yeah fair point. Hell in some ways the class-based leveling might have been an attempt to make the original leveling better and just stumbled into its own major problems on the way :v:

Is the FF Crystal Chronicles port okay for local co-op? I know the online play was atrocious but it's on sale and I have family coming out soon.

Best Buy has No More Heroes 3 on sale for $31 today, I’m tempted to pick it up even though I have 3 other unplayed Switch games in my backlog. I think the game was well received in the thread, I never played the second game but I loved the first one on Wii.

Will they finally up the number of units you can hold, so you can still have a decent generic unit team after getting all the named characters? :colbert:

Backlogs can only grow, never shrink.

The secret to the backlog is to not buy a game that you don't intend to play immediately or within the next few days, no matter how deep the sale is.

What if you lose your job

When you think about it, a backlog is really just an insurance against boredom if you ever become unemployed/disabled.

Depression is one mean bitch, but thankfully Elden Ring is good enough to get me in the grove. If I get it to start up.

:same: I find it helps to beat/finish a smaller game, and then use the good feelings and satisfaction from that to momentum into the next, larger game.

These days I just watch my son beat all those games like Odyssey and Kirby. Same satisfaction, none of the frustration.

I haven't given him Dark Souls yet but that day is coming.

I play modern and old games simultaneously, my backlog is always at least 40 games deep lol. But my Switch backlog is usually smaller, I don’t usually buy Switch games until I’m ready to play them. The only exception is when I come across a good deal where it’s B2G1 or a lower price on something than I would expect to see for a while.
