I was just gonna ask about TWEWY, is this a big deal? Never played but been into JRPGs lately so had that on my shortlist.quote:The World Ends With You: The Final Remix comes out on October 12 and apparently only allows touch controls while in handheld mode. According to the game’s Nintendo webpage, the game offers Joy-Con controls or touch controls, but seemingly not a combination of the two.. When the original released on the DS in 2007, a combination of face-button and touch controls were used so that players could direct the game’s two main characters simultaneously. The new version of the game apparently offloads this hybrid approach entirely, with users in Japan—where the game is already out—noting that the Joy-Con controls stop registering once they’re attached to the Switch. Unless the North American version is drastically different in some way, which based on reports from when the game was shown at PAX West it doesn’t, this means that in handheld mode it plays similar to the iOS port but with additional story content and a few other extra features.

Just learned my 8bitdo SNES30 works on the Switch, this is so much better for Shovel Knight than even the Pro.

there's a reason 90% of the player messages you'll see are like "try from behind" Actually curious, what are the user messages and co-op/PvP like at launch on Switch? Heath posted:What is the most assless souls boss

I played Phantasy Star 4 via the Steam emulated version and vaguely enjoyed it, is the rest of the series worth getting into? I guess it's a different question of $2.50 in a Steam sale vs the $10 or whatever it'll be on Switch.

Cool, thanks. JRPG is the genre I've gained the most affection for this gen between P5, DQXI and Octopath but it also seems like there's a lot of stuff that has some historical relevance that doesn't translate to actually worth playing now.

C.M. Kruger posted:Also what should I check out aside from Diablo and BotW and the other big-name titles (eg, Mario, Bayonetta, Xenoblade, Octopath)? Mario x Rabbids is the one you didn't list that I think a lot of people would point you towards -- also a little divisive (some people didn't like its more there's-a-specific-right-answer puzzly take on XCOM) but probably more consensus liked than anything you mentioned other than Odyssey.

I thought Tressa and Alfyn best embodied the earnest "go see the world" spirit that was Octopath at its best and was glad I picked Tressa as my main; I'm not minmaxing or anything but once you get the last of her Merchant support skills and subclass her with Scholar you've got four elements (with the Scholar skills that hit everyone twice!) and three weapons at your disposal with half MP cost; equipping her for elemental attack she hits so goddamn hard.

As an enthusiastic newcomer to JRPGs I thought the idea of one pivoted to put crafting at the center was appealing when I first learned of Atelier but then I watched a video of the one on Switch and like 30 seconds in schoolgirls were squealing as their alchemical experiments set their frilly dresses on fire and I slowly backed away from the computer.

Perry Mason Jar posted:Turn-based combat. Out of combat hit gets you initiative. The turn based combat is interactive during enemy's turn. I wanted to say JRPG but I don't know if that's quite right and didn't want to embarrass myself. It's been ages since I've played a turn-based RPG. Neither on Switch yet but you should keep your eye on the (confirmed but no release date) Dragon Quest XI and (just speculated but not baselessly) Persona 5 ports, which both feature turn-based combat with a reward for striking the enemy to initiate combat. (None of those offer anything active for the player to do on the enemy's turn though, if I understand you right.)

Humble Store is selling digital Switch and 3DS games now, only in the US. Small selection of Switch but includes the big AAA Nintendo stuff and some indies. Nothing discounted right now but that's another place to keep an eye on and hypothetically maybe a Humble Switch Bundle in the future? PS3/4 bundles happen occasionally but they're usually pretty lame selections of like all THQ stuff.

Anyone seen anything more specific on Slay the Spire's port beyond "early 2019"? Trying it on Steam after it got mentioned in another thread and liked it but it seems  perfect for Switch and don't really mind waiting if it's around baseball season when my Switch spends a lot more time in my hands KICK BAMA KICK fucked around with this message at 00:41 on Jan 19, 2019 |

Have not actually gotten that far in the game but I loving love every one of the palette and background options in Downwell. This has to be the best $3 I ever spent. Whats the minmax upgrades and weapons? Laser weapon feels most powerful to me paired with buying some extra charges, otherwise I need the laser sight upgrade.

Aww poo poo I wasn't thinking anything of the posts about how the Switch wifi sucks cause I wasn't taxing it too much, just Tetris 99 and a few downloads but tried the free Splatoon 2 today and disconnected from four of the five matches I managed to get into. Don't have an Ethernet option in this room and I'm not gonna bother with powerline plus the Switch adapter but at least I learned enough to keep from buying this or Mario Kart or Smash unless I intend to get a lot out of singleplayer/local. Game seems fun though. I know the PS4 wifi is reviled too but I never have trouble with AC7 online. Just netcode?

I knew Redbox was experimenting with Switch games but just noticed NSMBUD was available at basically every box near me -- and zero of the other Switch games they offer. Had a free code so tried it out today and the to me the art looks a lot better in motion than the overly clean, lifeless style it appeared to be in screenshots. Gameplay's fun but god do they need to get rid of lives once and for all and just zap you back to the last checkpoint. Cleared the first two worlds and kinda hit a brick wall at either of the options for the next one, ice or water worlds.

Weird cause today I went back to MxR for the first time in months and immediately remembered how everyone thought the BEEP-0 control was so weird and I would have never given it a second thought if it wasn't already a topic of conversation? Like if I was describing the game to someone from scratch I wouldn't even think to mention that part of it.
