I'm really enjoying Neon Demon. I don't quite get what's with the plot. I can see the DNA of the writing in Donut County, but I found that funny and relatable and here it's just turned up to 11.

Game is crazy good though.

Can you guys recommend any recently release roguelikes/lites in switch??

It's apparently older but I picked up Rogue Heroes the other day for $6. It's very 2d Zelda inspired looking most like Link to the Past. The overworld is static but the dungeons change each time you attempt them. You get currency in the dungeons that is used on permanent upgrades, you lose whatever you've got when you reenter a dungeon so it's best to just throw it at something after each death

I don't think there's been too many new ones lately. I'm super stoked for Backpack Hero next month.

Backpack Hero ate a ton of my life in Early Access and the only reason I'm still not playing it is because they're saving big content stuff for official release and I want to enjoy that.

Loop Hero and Into The Breach are also both excellent.

Nintendo doesn't really do derivative sequels that "replace" older entries. Except for maybe star fox but nintendo leadership hates star fox probably.

Although octopath 1 is an excellent example of a game becoming kinda obsolete, I did not enjoy it very much but 2 is a fantastic RPG!!

they've done it a few times, if you want to count like the NSMB games, or Splatoon, but yeah I think most of their big releases are supposed to like, be "standalone" versus Ubisoft and Assassins Creed

I can't get the sale prices to apply. I've tried it a couple times and it won't stick.

Dumb.

Edit: figured it out, they don't make it easy to figure out do they. It's gotta be the "new" option, not any other marked down price.

Oh, just die to them enough and you'll have enough chances to get it randomly!

But also, it seems like the speed of the first window for a counter is always connected to the speed of the second window, so my success rate on the second possible counter was a lot higher when I knew roughly how long to wait before hitting it.

I'm pretty decent at just frames. So I could do them mostly reliably on the first move. But the second move was probably a 2/10 shot for me. Took me a few times to even realize they were randomizing the timing.

Friend to Fishes. Just keep swimming.
Harvestella has been a fun game, for what it is worth. First two seasons are kinda tough, much like many season having games. Hades is roguelike I think, and really nifty. I even enjoyed it. The NPCs even react to you.

I'm looking forward to Fantasy V, so I can four job fiesta.

Oh yeah, on that note, I haven't played the first Octopath or Xeno-anything at all. Do I need any prior knowledge of either series' earlier games to know what's going on in them, or can I just dive right in?

Octopath 2 is entirely self-contained, you can hop right in.

I've only played Xenoblade 3, and I never felt at a loss for not having played the previous entries there. I'm told it does reference 1 and 2, but nothing that resembles required readng.

The way I see it the kind of rhetoric embodied by these kinds of posts is some incredibly deranged corporate shilling that has metastasized into aggressive misanthropy. Someone taking time to point out that Nintendo is doing lovely things and abusing copyright should get the word out no matter how much you love Nintendo's corporate products.

Unless the youtuber in question is promoting race hatred or spouting anti lgbtq rhetoric or something this kind of assholery is rather poorly directed.

Or that too, yeah.



Exactly. Nintendo posts a Direct or a Trailer or something and everyone loves it but some dude who doesn't work at Nintendo HQ posts stuff critical of them and suddenly the Nintendo Defense Squad show up to poo poo on him? Something's hosed up here.

Exploration is ill-advised.
Since I know I'm almost definitely getting Tears of the Kingdom either way I'm not watching too much more of the trailers, kinda funny if they're using the same map but recontextualising it with new features like the Nuts and Bolts vehicles to drive around in while having most of the new content be above or underground Hyrule.

I also wonder how Hyrule's gonna look like overall. Is it gonna assume that Link was one of those maniacs who 100%ed the game?

They should make a Super Mario Bros: Into the Mario Verse where Chris Pratt Mario has to team up with Charles Martinet Mario, Bob Hoskins Mario, both the live action and animated Super Mario Super Show Marios, Pedro Pascal SNL Mario, and Ron Jeremy porn parody Mario.

I loved Metroid Fusion, Metroid Dread was good, still upset about the level of backtracking and the completely inscrutable puzzles like “bomb the glass tube” in Super Metroid.

While I getcha, it's lol that the glass tube thing is literally shown in the gameplay demos on the title screen. Which at that point in the game most everyone's gonna be skipping immediately to get to the actual gameplay.

In the sense of freeing all the divine beasts, getting all the memories and finding the master sword, sure. Everything else isn't really critical to the story (I'm assuming they didn't go nuts with making things change depending on what's in your BotW save file).
