I like SRPGs a lot so I tried a Disgaea once and did not like the comically large numbers, no sir. Give me a Tactics Ogre on the Switch please.

Disgaea doesn't do the comically huge numbers until you're in the post game though?

Like the final bosses of these games usually caps to level 70-80 which seems kinda normal to me.

Bought a Switch carrying case the other day and some stranger saw it and asked, "Hey, got your Switch in there?" Annoyed I simply told her no, I had just bought the case and that my Switch was at home at the moment. She then went on to say that she had a Switch and was enjoying it. I nodded my head in agreement and with the hope of buying this case I can take it with me more often. Later on she suggested that we ever meet again we should both bring our Switches. I simply said, "that would be okay" and exited the bus. That was almost a month ago and I have not seen that girl since.

You know why I think the Switch will outsell the Wii? Because I am actually contemplating buying a second Switch to make things like playing Mario Kart at family parties and stuff more fun.

I'm considering adding another family-room TV for exactly the same reason.

X pulls up the map, dpad controls where you jump to while the map is active, squid beakons are dead

E: also inkstrikes are dead

They might be optional, but the people who ​tested ARMS say it isn't the same without it. And, frankly, I can't imagine how that would work, what with the curved punches and such.

All it took was the removal of the features that required gamepad interaction, now hopefully we won't have endless dumb arguments about "well what if they added a map cursor"

I mean that's not dissimilar to Splatoon's motion controls but there's gonna be a cadre of goons who are just allergic to the entire concept no matter how well-executed

What, like as an alternative to the d-pad, or is there a thing you can do with the cursor that you can't do with the joycon?

Can I still slam my fat thumb on my super jump target if I'm in portable mode?

There are losers out there who played splatoon as a twinstick shooter instead of gyro. Nothing's lost if we let them play like it's 2004

I somehow skipped Splatoon the first time even though I enjoyed the test fires.

AFAIK you can use the cursor to select your destination. Dunno about touch controls tho'.

If they just let you move the camera up and down with the right stick while using gyro I'd give it a shot

Until them I'm refusing as an act of protest

Gyro is gross and twin stick is fine unless you've been playing FPSs with a mouse for a million years without controller muscle memory.

Gyro for splatoon 2 will work much better on the joycons than on the game pad, i feel.

Nintendo very rarely puts out demo versions of their games, but who knows. However, other Switch users are basically traveling demo kiosks, so if you see one with ARMS, try to overcome your social anxieties.
