It’s basically a port of the iOS version which replaced the dual screen control scheme and puck passing with just simply having your partner be someone you can summon in battle I believe.

It's me, I'm the person that played the DS version only using the bottom screen. :downs:
I look forward to the simplification. That said, how did they address the pin experience issue?

I've resigned myself to play DQXI on the PC so I can have the orchestral music. The difference is simply too much.

Basically, I want to offload as many games as I can to the Switch instead of my PC or PS4.
I know it's weird, and bias towards any one corporation or another when one has a clear advantage in certain areas is nonsensical, but there it is.

Anyone know how long the battery life of the switch is undocked? I like the ports the switch is getting, some of them are really well done.

3-6 hours, depending on the game. Pretty standard for a mobile platform.

Drop the brightness and volume to half, and you can coax a little more out of it.

There was a little bit chat about Broforce before it dropped, but goddamn amazed that people aren't blowing this poo poo up. What a fantastic and quick game, solo or multi.

And the amount of detail that put into all of the "bros" is truly admirable.

It's a Contra game where extra lives force you to change weapons and you can't even shoot up, much less diagonally. Who cares.

Yes, its an absolutely awesome game, and i talk it up every chance I get!! Its really fun!!


The entire game is designed around the way the characters work, so what you're talking about is not even anything close to a problem with the game, just your personal preference. Also, if you have played the game even a little bit, you would know that you have plenty of options for attacking up, down and diagonally with a lot of the characters.

It was free on PSN. All it has going for it is terrain destruction and memes.

Someone please realtalk with me why the Switch has no licensed car games besides that lovely mobile port Gear.Club Unlimited, from the makers of TDU 1 & 2.

No sim racing games, and no arcade racers either. I mean, for gently caress's sake, Gameloft should have two Asphalt games on this thing by now.

Is this a real new switch or just a switch xl I can safely ignore

It'll be a 14nm process Tegra x1 with a bigger screen, (due to shrinking the bezels) and longer battery life (from the die shrink) without Nintendo actually doing anything.
Maybe they'll be generous, and double the internal storage too.

To be fair, the screen glare on the Switch is nuts. I'd almost buy one of those things if it didn't make me look like a huge perve.

Do you always play outside, or indoors with the screen facing the sun or something?

Here's the thing about factions: They're more "sure, we'll help you against the fight against this absolute evil archetype" than "man, gently caress that other faction."

I'm not even sure if it is any deep other than enemies having weaknesses to certain weapon types. With the resurrected toys to life concept, they'll probably aim the game to be as accessible as possible.

So all we know at the moment is just marketing talk, who knows how it actually plays out.

Please compare it to Colony Wars 1-3, my gold standard for console space combat (because I can't be arsed to buy Elite: Dangerous).
