Scroll, then. There are other posts than these.


If you haven't seen it, there was a rad Japanese indie show this morning.

Safe to say the majority will appear on switch.

Special shout to dome king cabbage, future goty whenever it drops. Though it might not come to switch, have to wait for switch pro.

Really loving Xenoblade 3 so far. There were lots of things in XB2's out of combat gameplay I did not like and it feels like they smoothed over all of that with QoL. I like that if I get lost while on a quest there's a button command to make a quest line appear, but it's not on all the time so as to not discourage exploring. Another thing I like is when equipping accessories there are marks next to accessories that are a good match for the character's role type, making it easier to think about what to pick.

Playing it in handheld mode, it also feels like Monolith Soft has gotten more comfortable with the switch since it looks great in handheld mode which I feel wasn't true for xb2.

Are they still doing the regional British accents for the localisation?

From what I've read it's a problem with codecs (that I shouldn't have because my new PC has none installed lol).

That said if I take too long to decide I'll get the Switch version since I'm leaving for vacation with no Wi-Fi.

If it helps I've done a few battles with 10 dudes on screen and there isn't too much slowdown. It seems fine.

Is anyone playing the new Digimon Game? It’s definitely focused on the virtual novel aspect. I’m enjoying it quite a bit.

Yeah I'm kinda switching (hah) between that an XB3, it's pretty decent so far, the SRPG bits are nothing special but demon uh I mean digimon negotiation and the evolutions give it a bit of depth.

The VN segments are probably the most high effort VN stuff I've seen, took me a while to realise the backgrounds were 3D made to look like 2D drawings so they could zoom the camera around all over the place.

Hell yeah, Goon. I'm doing the same. I'm not very familiar with VNs. Ditto! The production value on those segments stood out to me. The camera work is very slick.

Can folks recommend a case for the Switch that accomodates the Hori Split Pad Pro? Original model not OLED if that makes any difference.

I was thinking about getting a Switch to finally play Super Mario Odyssey. (I actually never played either Galaxy either.) However, looking at the other games on the system, it doesn't seem like there are terribly many worthwhile exclusives that aren't also on PC. I don't know if I want to pay X bitcoins for a machine that only plays the first party titles Odyssey, Mario Kart 8 and BotW. Smash Bros / Splatoon / Animal Crossing / Rabbids don't interest me. I don't want Pokemon because I don't want to have to buy a DLC just to get :psyduck:. I also don't really want to pay for an online shitscription to get the N64 library. The portability factor doesn't matter either because I am currently in the process of bricking myself into my apartment.

What else is out there for someone who has a gaming PC? I can already play things like Celeste and Hades, and looking up "Switch Exclusives" hasn't shown much more.

BotW is a mediocre game and pokemon sword is abysmal, but switch has a lot of other exclusives like the picross games, triangle strategy, link's awakening, xenoblade, SMTV, metroid dread, ringfit adventure, and Bayo 3 this year.

Kirby, Breath of the Wild, and Mario Odyssey are usually easy recs regardless of someone's taste. Depending on what else she likes, I could recommend more.

Wait, base game includes Auto Battle? That just bumped it way up in my sooner-rather-than-later ranking.

What other QoL features does it have? (Combat speed up, voice slidey options, etc.)

It always peeved me that the QoL features of the previous games were locked behind either DLC or one-time-use codes that came with the physical copy. Because we couldn't have you lend out a complete game, oh no.
