Depending on your region - in NA game unlocks at midnight EDT like all first party games.

I’ve played the tutorial missions and it sure is Advance Wars! War Room, the Shop, Gallery, and Online Play are locked behind the first few campaign missions, it seems.

Is there online matchmaking or anything? If you've played enough, are the campaign missions different at all from the GBA originals?

Friends only. The tutorial missions are all scrunched together, but I believe the campaign proper is the same.

I hope the next Nintendo has a better touch screen than the Switch. imo, a big part of why Mario Maker 2 fell off quick was due to how much worse the touch screen is vs the Wii U's.

yes nintendo should go back to using late 90s resistive touchscreens instead of modern capacitive touchscreens found in every other device currently made for one game that no one bought. lmao.

I said better than the Switch, not do the Wii U's again. The touchscreen on the Switch is easily the worst touch screen on any modern device I own or have used.

idk, OP, "works good for me" but outside of using a special stylus it's of course gonna be less precise/more tedious than a resistive touchscreen for something like building a grid-based map, just by the nature of the tech. if your overall opinion is "it could be better" then yeah sure fine, but in relation to MM i don't think there's much improvement to be had unless they make one that's compatible with a stylus like an Apple Pencil, but call it the Mario Pencil and bundle it with MM3.which i would buy immediately. because nintendo is ftw.

In Nintendo talk I have a statement and a question: Picross continues to be great, and did I just read correctly that Golf Story has a murder mystery? :stare: I suddenly have interest now, ha.

That was a lot of words to say you should have gitten gud

I ticked off most of the artifacts without even having to intentionally backtrack for them because I was thorough at exploring and revisiting areas once I got new abilities to go find things that I remembered not being able to get before

And I really don't get all the fuss about Chozo Ghosts, they're chumps, like yeah the effect if they hit you is annoying so just sidestep it

Even before the X-Ray visor they're easy to fight if you literally don't move and just stand in a corner with a charged beam ready to dome them when they uncloak, sidestepping their attacks as needed

Once you have the X-Ray beam and super missiles then they're trivial


I was extremely clear that I don't think the Chozo Ghosts are hard so maybe you should have read that lot of words better. I said they were very annoying and unfun to fight. Also good for you, you knew about the artifacts being required and I didn't. I haven't played the game in over 15 years.

Silver Falcon posted:

The real problem that guy is having is getting to the end-game Artifact hunt and having less than 60 missiles? Like, my guy. The game shits those are you if you make any effort to explore at all. That's what you're meant to do while backtracking through areas you've been to before. You're supposed to look for and collect upgrades. I wound up with 200 missiles by the time I turned in the artifacts, just from being diligent about exploring.

No I have like 170 missiles. I was saying that so much stuff requires super missiles in the end game that I'm frequently running low. The part in question is not an artifact, it's an upgrade and requires 12 super missiles, when you leave it resets. I did not have 60 missiles left so I'd either have to farm them off nearby enemies or run back to a missile station. Both options are sort of tedious. My complaint was basically that there are parts that use a ton of resources and don't have a resupply, which can just cause more back tracking on top of the already massive amount of back tracking.

I think the US is dumb for not using Celsius
I just noticed that these nyxi joycons have a little flat spot on the bottom. Which means you can have the switch stand up at an angle. I guess it technically does the same thing as the kickstand would, but you can't use it with these attached, so it's pretty cool.

Seriously though, it's the "Stranger in a Strange Land" genre, typically involving one or more of the following:
- dimension travel
- time travel
- reincarnation
- the Quantum Leap thing where YOU are now the person who's body you're inhabiting

The one constant is retaining your memories of your previous life.

I feel like the genre needs to return to its roots: establishing that everyone else is inferior to people from Connecticut. Now if you don’t mind, I need to swing by the package store to pick up some beer, and then maybe grab a grinder on the way back to eat when I get home.

It reminds me of a character action game. The input complexity is obviously lower but the pacing and combo control system is similar, in spirit at least. CC plays well but it's in a league of its own because of its design. Vids don't express what makes it so excellent - there's something in the way that it controls and responds the player. The Novice mode is about as difficult as a tough Platinum game, and is definitely the way to go if you're not into other bullet hells.

The designer and coder, Clover-TAC, is an arcade superplayer with world record scores. Crimzon Clover is his only game to date, and has been significantly retuned and enhanced twice. It represents a decade's worth of effort to make the best shooter ever, and it actually might be

A warning to people playing the MM Battle Network Collection: when you're doing the virus training minigame, do the battles in the JP version of the game. Devs hosed up when fusing the version and the English version doesn't give you the Django Mega Chip you need for all Mega Chips, and you'll need online to get it if you missed it.
