Well, Backpack Hero is the first time I bought an indie game on Switch and it just straight up didn’t work. Great job, everyone.

Yeah there's a secret box in princess castle that originally you could only get in one scene where a toad runs through and you time a jump off his head perfectly but they changed it so later on there's a bunch of toads walking around there.

I've had no issues with it crashing. Menus get kinda more sluggish if I keep the game running without closing it but that's been it.

My town progress resets itself every time I finish a dungeon. All the NPCs update but it’s reset every time I finish a run. The dev also said they’re working on patching things over on r/NintendoSwitch.

I got Overland (game) some time ago for the switch. It's a mini turn based tactics game about driving across America to avoid aliens. I like it. I find it's like doing a Sudoku puzzle. However I don't think I've heard of anyone else playing it. It has dogs.

Welp, it took me 6+ years, but thanks to having some extra time this morning, I finally did it: Ganon is dead* For some reason, I managed to find something like 90% of all shrines while missing 90% of the Korok seeds. Otherwise, it was a full completion run: All titans done, master sword and hyrule shield found, all weird places explored, died dozens of times trying to reach the end of the map (outside of the desert, there you can just walk into the border directly). I basically walked up and done the entire map repeatedly until Link's feet had touched every inch of Hyrule at least once. (Still below 100 Korok seeds, that kind of incompetence must be some kind of record) It was a fun game, and among the many open world games I've played over the years, the first that motivated me enough to finally end it properly. Luckily it took me so long, I was ridiculously overdressed and overprepared for the final fight, but Ganon still caused me to eat half my inventory anyway, because I'm bad at reflex-based gameplay. Early-game Link would have been obliterated just walking through the door. Some extra fun moments were exploring all the ruins, taking part in Survivor: Zelda-Edition and trying my best to climb anything climbable, including the big tower above Ganon's hiding place. It was lots of fun, but after squeezing every last drop out of Breath of the Wild, I'm done. The game is now archived. Merry Christmas, everyone! Time to move on to Tears of the Kingdom! *May not actually be dead

Switch 2 will most likely have hardware arch that’s 2-3yrs old by the time it’s announced right?

While I don't expect Nintendo to go all out on high end hardware, they do have some competition now with Steam Deck (and others). So I don't think they'll just do some small spec upgrade

I don't care how rear end the graphics are I just want the first party games to run a bit better. Game could look like a launch ps2 title and I'd be happy if it ran at a consistent 30

I'd hope the next console to be worth spending 300+ purely from a hardware upgrade from the switch imo

I love my Switch, but their next console needs to be able to push 1080p/60Hz for every game on the system. This 30FPS nonsense needs to stop.

100YrsofAttitude posted:I’d be curious to see your first impression. I can’t say I didn’t love TotK but nothing has come close to BotW’s wow factor. So far, I only got to the part where Link finds his first pair of pants, and stopped when stepping out into the light again, but I'm impressed so far. The second game starts with a far more cinematic feeling, with Link and Zelda finding Zombie Ganon Wizard under Hyrule and Link becoming a Transhumanist. Zelda continues to be a blast: Determined, always happy to lurk around in some ancient ruins, always just so chipper and positive. (I tried for fun to play the game with English voices on. Turns out after playing BotW for 100+ hours and listening to Zelda German voice for so long, the English voice actress just sounds so wrong. English Zelda sounds like she has depression, German Zelda like she's just dealing with some hard poo poo, but still positive and hopeful.) Anyway, as someone interested in history and archaeology, starting the game with a dungeon crawl and a history lesson is like catnip to me, so for now I'm putting Tears of the Kingdom just a bit above BotW, just because of the strong start. Some other things: -Thanks to just finishing BotW today, I feel like already know these characters. Also I can look at Hyrule Castle getting hosed with a hearty  lucky that stupid thing stood abandoned for 100 years, eh? No idea how a completely fresh player would react to all of this.-My bet is Link wouldn't have lost his arm if he still had the max upgraded Antique Armor I got for him in the first game. That poo poo was wild. -The new beginning is a good medium between BotW fairly hasty (but back then refreshingly new) "get out of your Bacta-Tank, Link" immediate cold start and Skyrim's tedious-feeling forced intro dungeon. Some cave exploration, some exposition, then Link gets hosed and the game starts. Bethesda would have forced me to watch what often feels like 10 more cutscenes and fight 100 more monsters before even getting out of the first dungeon. I feel a lot of this is psychology: Nintendo likes to rush the player into what looks like it's the entire game, but in truth is a hidden tutorial area. But because it's nice and airy, and you aren't constantly talked to by angsty NPCs, things feel a lot more natural and you don't mind not leaving that plateau for a while. And I expect this weird air world I've found myself into will be a similar tutorial level like the plateau in BotW. Another important part: If you're restarting Skyrim, you can't just walk off when that first dragon attacks. You have to go through that whole thing until you can finally stab all those assholes and run off. Here and in BotW, I have this nice feeling of being allowed to just ignore what is going on to do my own thing. In games like Oblivion or Skyrim, I sometimes feel like I'm actively fighting the devs at every step. Sometimes that can be fun, but it can also be quite exhausting. Though , I really did not expect that my sheer lazyness of never changing my BotW-voices from my native German default would bite me in the rear end. The English voice for Zelda isn't even bad, my brain just goes "that's not Zelda" and locks up. Psychology!

There’s a huge user base out there buying third parties and indies on their Switch which is why there’s a deluge of third party ports and content. Nintendo doesn’t want to just sell their games and nothing else.

I'm sure they like that, and they definitely support Indy devs, but if not like THEY are the ones making those games Is there any public info on how much Nintendo makes when somebody buys Mortal Kombat or whatever

I mean the goal with any console is to a) get as many people to buy it as possible and b) gets devs to develop for it, thereby increasing a) which increases b) and so on. I’m not saying Nintendo doesn’t make the consoles they want to make, they’re obviously always innovating while also ignoring the tech race for graphics and poo poo. They want to make hardware that appeals for function.

Game would have been hype if they just let you do 4v4 matches online. Putting an ungodly amount of dev and marketing effort into a new online club mode and not actually letting you play matches online with the club was insane.

I agree with everything you said here and thought the opening was loving brilliant, but just a heads up: the tutorial island you’re about to begin (if you haven’t already) is a loving slog, in my opinion. I did not enjoy it at all, much less compared to the Great Plateau. But don’t let that discourage you - once you get through it and back to the surface, it’s game fuckin’ on from there on out. I was genuinely surprised at how fresh and exciting the first few moments back on the surface were, and how…vulnerable I felt, in spite of already knowing combat and the controls like the back of my hand. Seeing my first Bokoblin patrol and having to figure out how to avoid being seen was a genuine A+ gaming moment Game good, Wintendo
