Seeing as much praise for Arcus as against violet. Only way is to keep with the path and try violet for myself

Tender Bender posted:Dash Rendar was very "we have Han Solo at home" but it worked. In the book there's a part where he has to shoot down a photon torpedo before it hits a ship, and he misses so the ship gets blown up and a bunch of people die, and he's really sad about it and eventually sacrifices himself to destroy the bad guy's space station. Then after he dies someone is like "Hey we got some research on those photon torpedos, it turns out they're indestructible so he didn't miss after all." RIP in the game, he survives the skyhook explosion but everyone thinks he died in it. he embraces and loves that he's now considered dead and can live free of bounties. weird thing to change in the game.

There are only a limited subset of pokemon from the prior games included, and I can't remember if you can bring those ones in from prior games via Home or just have to catch them in the later games.

An Actual Princess posted:arceus is dogshit and it blows my mind that anyone liked it beyond a novelty I think I must just have a fundamentally different outlook on Pokémon games from the other people in this thread, because I'm honestly not trolling, I genuinely enjoyed it and feel like it's the best "spinoff"/alternate style game they've done in a series that's gotten progressively more stagnant, especially since the Switch launched. I feel like the gimmicks in the later games have gotten progressively more lame/uninspired as well - I thought Mega Evolutions were really cool, Z-Moves were a significant downgrade, and that Gigantamaxing was just lazy game design.

Dash was indeed recanonized into Disney Star Wars as a joke by one of their new EU writers. the possibility for more Dash Rendar exists but there is also the preexisting other Dash novels like the one where he helps some children fight Hal 9000 or the one where he plays Kevin Costner in Bodyguard to Princess Leia's popstar cousin

All my Pokémon I care about are on Pearl p sure you can still move any generation forward into home but you would have to move them thru every single generation, then to transfer, then to bank, then to home? idk never done it so dunno fi they broke it at some point. once theyre in home they can be imported into whichever games theyre int he pokedex for and i think most ppl make their living dexes in home now. best off asking the pokemon thread theyd know the exact method currently.

I really enjoyed Arceus as well! I enjoyed the visuals a lot, I loved being able to sneak around and whip balls at Pokémon before they knew what hit them, I liked how the one town felt fairly well established with all the little sidequests. They absolutely could've stood to tune down the number of "do X move in Y style 10 times" quests for the pokedex, mind you, but I'm really hoping they release a more polished entry in the series at some point.

I think it's broken now if you didn't get the Pokémon 3DS transfer stuff before the shop shut down. :/ If you had that, you could theoretically take a guy all the way from Gen 3 to today in a variety of dumb ways.

You won't be able to move them past gen 4 otherwise. If you did, then use 2 DS or 3DS machines to move them from Pearl to a gen 5 game, then use the transporter to put them in Bank, and then connect Bank to Home, and you can use them in any compatible modern game after that.

I haven’t played game besides emulated 2D console and phone stuff for about a decade. I picked up a powkiddy rgb30 to play nes and gameboy games recently though, and when I was talking to a coworker about how I was playing the original legend of Zelda he insisted I should try Breath of the Wild. After beating nes Zelda, more or less on a whim I picked up an oled switch and botw. The last 3D “open world” games I played were Morrowind, Vice City, and S.T.A.L.K.E.R, all back when they were relatively recent releases, so I’m sure that my not keeping up with AAA games and the console wars has kept me naive of how immersive and huge games these days can be, but holy poo poo this one is gorgeous and just has so much to do. The loop of forage/cook/gear up/explore/fight/solve puzzle/repeat is so satisfying. And it’s all so well-modeled and consistent, even if the world has kind of a dream logic to it, it’s comprehensible and interactive. I set my alarm for 4AM the other morning so I could get a couple of hours in before the rest of my family woke up. So I guess, uh, I’m just saying that breath of the wild by default is my game of the decade? I’m not even sure I even want to ask for other Switch game recommendations. Probably will just try to eventually wrap up Zelda and keep the hardware until my kid is old enough to play Mario Kart.

it's bizarre to me that a game about writing the first pokedex never has you measure a pokemon's height or weight or record its cry in the wild but you do watch it use water gun 40 times

I think honestly what happened was they took the feedback from Shadows and built out everyone's favorite part, the opening Hoth level. That framework is what Rogue Squadron most resembles (especially the first game, which was almost entirely planet-based missions where you were flying over terrain)

Bank still works but you can't download it or the Gen 5 to Bank app if you haven't already (barring  wizardry)And even then Pearl to Gen 5 needs 2 consoles and a minigame to transfer 6 at a time.

If you think this highly of BotW then Tears of the Kingdom is going to make your brain explode Seriously: finish botw before even starting totk, cuz after a few hours of the latter you will never go back to the former

That's the good stuff. The sequel is objectively better but I still prefer BotW. It was an awesome experience that the second never quite recaptured, and they are in a class of their own regarding open world games.

Lol I just booted up Jet Force Gemini now that I have the Switch N64 controller. Having not played it since the early 2000s, I forgot how hosed up it really is for what's ostensibly a kids game. Like, the opening cutscene is full of (polygonal) blood and gore. Sure, the ants bleed green, but they bleed a lot. And an ewok/koala man gets merc'd and explodes into bloody chunks. Not to mention that you can literally blow the heads off both ants and the noncombatant tribals. I think you can even collect both kinds of heads for rewards?

I only just started it, but running around the first area was fine. I seem to remember there being levels with tons of enemies, so it might have problems later if BK was straining it. Which is ridiculous, the Switch should be able to emulate the N64 basically flawlessly.
