I've seen fixes for the d-pad that involve opening the controller up and putting scotch tape over parts of the contacts or inserting small bits of cardboard under the center pivot, so I think it's just poorly designed!

Stardew witch sequel when?

More about this.

Nintendo is also doing a Nindies @ Night stream. Hoping Hollow Knight gets a release date, as always.

Also also, Project Octopath is part of Squenix's TGS lineup. Very excited to finally see it!

How do I beat the brigand boss in octopath? I just don't have enough healing items to tank the fight and I don't do enough damage to kill anyone before the boss KO's me with his special attack.

Just Break him whenever he uses Bide, then hit him very hard. Repeat until victorious.

Darkest Dungeon is another good game! I never played it much after it left early access, but I'll probably buy it again just because I want to make progress.

Is Thimbleweed Park on the switch any good? The trailer looks fun but haven't really played any point and click adventure games for a long time.

I don't regret my time with it, but the back half through the finale feels kind of hollow and bad. Maybe watch the first or second chapter and see if the humor works for you.

strange feelings re Daisy posted:

Does anyone know anything about Dragon Fang Z? Googling is failing to turn up anything for me but a brief description and a trailer. The idea of a true roguelike on the Switch has certainly got my interest.

I can tell you that if feels machine translated, but if you've played a traditional roguelike before then you know what to expect and are getting exactly that. I've made it about halfway down according to the game's own progress log, and the speed with which I can boot up and start a run means I've put more time into it this week than Gungeon.
Skills come in the form of "fangs" that drop randomly from monsters, and you can equip them to use later (once they've charged up) or spend them immediately for an immediate benefit.
There's also a "brave" system for weapons that I haven't wrapped my head around fully yet, but it seems like you can accrue points by standing in place during combat to unlock certain abilities on weapons, and those points diminish once you start moving again. Maybe.
There are monster houses and items with random effects (different magical rods, in this case), and ranged monsters can accidentally kill each other while trying to kill you, causing them to evolve. Things can get pretty hectic, but it feels good to use every item in your inventory to power through a bullshit situation.
There's also a sort of puzzle room mode that tests your understanding of the game's systems by requiring you to follow certain steps in order to reach the stairs alive.

I'm enjoying my time with it and haven't had any issues aside from the quality of the translation sometimes getting in the way of item descriptions.

Did that NBA jam lookalike ever become good? Also what's a good rhythm game on here? I see harmonix put something out but it looks pretty iffy. Might grab thumper or voez or whatever the other game the voez people put out is called.

Superbeat is a good rhythm game with lots of content if you haven't played it elsewhere, although it was clearly made with Sony's symmetrical pad layout in mind and can take time to adjust to.

It's really great game design that they tell you you need 20 shock arrows to get on to Divine beast ruhta, but they don't tell you that you need a bunch more regular arrows, so you can just completely run out in the middle and have to reload so you can go to town and buy arrows. I'm pretty sure almost every game since the 80's knew not to do poo poo like this, but not BOTW apparently. Ran into this bullshit both times I played it.

In your defense, they should probably have had some ice formations in the environment for players to interact with before they leave the plateau. The "I don't have enough arrows!" thing used to come up all the time.

They look exactly the same as your own ice pillars though.

No I agree, but you may not have even thought about cryonis and ice pillars for 20+ hours, depending on how you play. I know someone who put the game down back at launch because they ran out of arrows at the boss (spoilers: use cryonis some more), got overwhelmed, and just never played again.

Never take your gaming proficiency for granted, I guess is the lesson here

How accommodating are the controls in Darkest Dungeon if I want to play it in handheld mode without ever touching the screen?

I got to play about an hour of it on a computer recently, and I don't know that I'll be able to wait until an entirely-speculative physical release maybe comes out on March 22nd.

I would never call the controls good, but given the pace of the game I'd say they're passable. I still make mistakes sometimes when trying to bounce between inventory and navigation, but it's nothing I've had to pay for in blood.
Touching the screen seems like it would be even more difficult with how small the icons and text are, TBH. But game is good.

It is region locked during Splatfest, though. Since you're playing Japanese Splatoon, you'll only see posts by Japanese squids/those with Japanese copies of the game until Splatfest ends.

Yeah, I died to the first real boss and was relieved to have only dropped some salt, since I had just spent most of it on upgrades anyway. Only real sticking point for me at the moment is the map system, but Dandara's definitely cool and has good music.

For portable devices like the Switch, you're constantly using the battery, even when you're docked and plugged in. Zelda uses more juice than a lot of Switch games, so you recover charge more slowly.

I never found a way to play Voez that was both comfortable and effective at higher difficulties. It has the squishy, lenient beats a lot of mobile rhythm games suffer from that I just find kind of unsatisfying to play. I do like some of the tracks, though, and they keep adding more for free every few months.

Also I think you still can't favorite songs? Kind of a pain with the expanding tracklist.

Unrelated, but they announced DJ Max Encore for 3DS well over a year ago, and I don't think that's going to happen. Respect would be perfect for the Switch (with all the PSP imagery intact).

Regarding Kirby controls, there's a section in the menus where it lists the control scheme as Type A. I assume that means there are other configurations, but nothing was available in the demo.

Repetitive from the start and not very good, but it�s a whole lot of content for a fiver. I got a few hours out of it and knew what I was getting into, but I had some spare credit on the Japanese eshop and not a lot of ways to get rid of it. Hard to recommend outside of that.

The right con's stick position is painful with extended use for something like Gungeon, but the shorter height and throw on the left con feels great with stuff like Celeste. I basically never use the grip though because having my arms free at my sides just feels better.

I also did the tape fix on my pro a while back, which worked fine, but something went wrong during reassembly and now I can't press Y too hard without activating Home.

Kirby is one of my favorite franchises, but I'm holding off for a price drop on this one. Eventually the allure of Rick and Marx and probably Nago will be too great, but the focus on partners does nothing for me right now.

I'd wager they go for a Pokemon Trainer style character, with the Blade standing in the background while Rex fights swapping between Pyra/Mythra and maybe one other. And probably Pneuma being the Final Smash.

It'll be the first console version to get co-op. A lot of games in that direct had an invisible footnote like this.
