You play Nioh but aren't interested in Zelda? That's odd. Do you like them Dark Souls? You know how people said Dark Souls was a modern Zelda 1?...

alternately: have a switch but aren't interested in Zelda?

Nintendo actually got it right on how to communicate to the masses what this thing is during those goofy commercials. Each commercial shows someone playing the game on a TV, popping it off it to play on the go, then popping it back in to play at home. It's not a complicated process, its easy to do and anybody can make it work. They really need some more games on it though. Mario Odyssey and Mario Kart both have to launch before Christmas or Nintendo is hosed Nintendo might be in trouble. But with both those games? It will be the number one gift easily.

you misspelled "splatoon 2"

Not even 5 million people played Splatoon 1 given the poor sales of the Wii U. Given both GameStop and Reggie have stated the Switch has been a really strong launch so far I imagine there's gonna be a lot of people who have never tried Splatoon doing so for the first time during this next test fire. They're gonna get to feel super fresh

If they did just a straight up multiplayer Bomberman with a buncha stages/modes/etc and priced it for $20 on the eShop it would sell like hotcakes, cause who the gently caress doesn't like Bomberman?

Did anyone buy that Alex Kidd game and is it good tia

Wonderboy Dragon's Trap?

yes and yes. it's very good, but it's essentially the same as the original with lovely animations / minor tweaks and polish. if you can handle somewhat archaic game design you will enjoy it

Winning a cup will give you the trophy for that cup in the lower engine classes too, so there's no reason to play 50 or 100. The stuff you get isn't just cosmetic, but you can unlock it from playing any mode.

this is a good and cool change from the wii u version, which did not mark off trophies for the lower speeds

Let him walk up to you and swing his sword, he actually won't hit you. Then jump up and hit him in the face just as he raises it above his head. Repeat the jump and hit when he raises it in the air until he is off screen, then retreat away from the lightning. Go back to the middle of the screen and let him walk up to you again and repeat

thankyou! letting him swing and not connect was what kept trickin me. dang this is a good old game tho

What do the little X stars things do at the end of races in Mario Kart?

they just indicate how "well" you did in the grand prix. three stars = the full 60 points, two stars = 57 points i think? and one star for slightly less than that.

edit: oh wait i am dumb. you mean pushing the button to 'flag' a race afterwards? it saves it for the Mario Kart TV mode, so it shows up in your saved videos later.

I haven't docked my Switch for more than like twenty minutes and I've played through two full charges just loving around in Zelda. What a weird new format for the franchise. It's a great time.

Someone please convince me to get MK8D despite my only playing a couple hours of MK8 on my Wii U. I used to play Sonic sperg racing with my old coworkers, and maybe I'd play this with my current team? I'm not as sold as I was on Puyo as a multiplayer game.

if you're already playing switch as a handheld a lot, Mario Kart 8 basically shows you what nintendo are going for with the "multiplayer anywhere" thing. the joycons actually work great for it, the game looks stellar, it's immediate and fun. if you don't like MK8 as a base game it won't change your opinion, probably, but to me it really works as a perfect "proof of concept" for gang multiplayer times

Anyone thinking of picking up Minecraft on the switch? I am one of the few people who have never actually played it and I thought this might be a good entry point for a noob.

i haven't bought a copy since the original on PC so i probably will, just for more switch games to play.
