Deceitful Penguin posted:Any good games out? Have Octopath, Dragon Quest Heroes and Celeste, as well as all the mainline games in a week or two you'll have Mark of the Ninja and The World Ends With You, two of the best games ever created KICK BAMA KICK posted: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. Makes sense I guess, I can't imagine how the game would work otherwise. I probably will never use the touch method though so if I play mobile I'm gonna set the system on a table and use Joy-Con pointy controls.

Ciaphas posted:game called the Messenger which I (carefully) know little about keeps popping up on my radar, and I just noticed it's on switch. good game? any should-knows up front? it's fine but if you wait another day or two you can get Mark of the Ninja which is the superior ninja game, probably the greatest ninja game ever created

Feenix posted:Jesus Christ I have Guaca 2 on PS4 and haven’t played a ton. I may just get it on Switch. That sounds awesome if it runs well. it was released like 7 or so years ago so all the reviews you'd need have been done but bottom line is it had unanimous acclaim and it owns, it's one of very few games along with like ResEvil 4 or Chrono Trigger I'd say are on my "almost flawless" list. Maybe I'm just biased but MotN just loving owns

the Remastered version contains all the DLC stuff i.e. the additional ninja style, extra mission, and 2 new items. Not really much but the new style is primarily non-lethal so it does switch up your tactics. I'll be getting this day 1 so if there's any irregularities about the port I'll post them tomorrow.

Al Borland Corpse posted:Never played Mark of the Ninja before, started it last night. Like the gameplay so far, don't really like the presentation. The Saturday morning cartoon cutscenes, the level of blood and gross gurgling sounds, the orientalism. The game almost loads too fast. You press a button and your on the next level or menu instantly with no transition, it's a little jarring. the bonus character Dosan (you see his episode as an option in the level select) can be unlocked and he's straight up a guy who does non-lethal takedowns. You can do his mission and then I think you can use him later one when costumes/items become unlockable to use. game is as great as how I remember it though I'm baffled how this was locked at 30fps. Switch really couldn't handle such an old game at 60??? it's not a dealbreaker but I was kind of disappointed and legit shocked.

Starlink honestly looks like the logical next step for a hypothetical Star Fox, and a better one than the awful WiiU hybrid / weirdo touchscreen Command games. The type of game Star Fox isn't doesn't usually lend itself to huge advancements in its genre so why not mash it up with exploration stuff.

I'd still take Starfox 64 over every Sonic game ever. In fact just remake the SNES game with modern grafix and sell it for like 24.99 on the eshop, it'll sell shitloads

this article about Star Fox is mostly correct in how the well-regarded games (SNES, N64) and also the weird ones (DS, WiiU) always relied on gimmicks i.e. FX Chips, rumble pack, touchscreens) https://www.dromble.com/2014/03/15/why-rebooting-star-fox-isnt-easy-for-nintendo/

Bombadilillo posted:I've tried many times to get through metroid, loving pretty much everything from super metroid on. But I just cant. Zero Mission might be criticized as too hand holding. But got drat. Metroid is just indistinguishable tubes with some gently caress you secrets to to continue. I love Zero Mission, there's no reason to play the NES one with ZM as a thing. I never thought it was too hand holding though; the most the game does is provide you with a very simplistic direction about where you'll vaguely be going next. I wish all metroidvanias did this, honestly. Don't railroad me like Fusion or show me the entire map like Samus Returns, but a simple little hint like in Zero Mission is nice. Playing something as tiring to navigate as Hollow Knight made me wish there some goddamn system like Zero Mission had, christ just give me a vague pointer so I don't spend half an hour going through an area I can't even move farther within.

mirror123 posted:I think someone like a hundred pages back was saying mark of the ninja is really good? How is the switch port? the switch version runs at 30fps instead of 60 for some baffling reason but it runs perfectly and it's not really the kind of game I care about if it's 30fps. Looks and runs fine, same fantastic game. Just make sure to bump up the gamma because for some reason the default setting makes the game WAY too dark.

Luigi’s Mansion, Pokemon, Animal Crossing, Bayonetta, Fire Emblem, Yoshi's loving World, Daemon x Machina and Metroid is a brain-melting amount of Nintendo games presuming all of them actually come out in 2019. Presuming a lot with Metroid and Bayonetta on the list but I'd think at least one of them makes 2019. That plus dumping all those Final Fantasy games on the Switch means they'll be having a good year ahead.

Rirse posted:I love this came about because he was making GBS threads on the Overcooked Switch port. Nintendo is extremely good and I hope they continue to ruin lives for bad videogame internet people Phrosphor posted:Is it normal for review embargo's for console games to be right up to the release date? Most devs that have a lot of confidence in their games will usually have embargo lifted a few days before release. Game reviews not going live til the day of isn't always a sign that the game will be bad (like Bethesda for instance, who has the loving worst media relations team in existence and almost tanked gamed like Prey and DOOM due to this practice) it's certainly a cautionary thing to look out for. The chance the game sucks is def greater for a "day of" embargo than the ones that release reviews much earlier in advance.

Lemming posted:If playing the game itself is fun then having an excuse to keep playing is good in the words of Reggie, "if the game isn't fun, why bother" not all games have a grind loop, i.e. linear experiences with creative ways to play like DOOM or Dishonored. something like Destiny is absolutely a money pit though and even worse is that it's a pit continuously redesigned to gently caress with you, as if Bungie were the sick scientists who made a rotating death trap a la Cube and we're all the blubbering Kazan savants stuck in its wake

Curiously he had nothing to do with Kirby 3 which was very different from Super Star. Sometime after, he created a new company called Sora. Soon after that, Iwata announced SSB Brawl which was a surprise to Sakurai, and after the fact Iwata asked Sakurai to be the director. So right after making his own company he got guilted into making another fuckin Smash anyway lol.

YggiDee posted:Nothing will ever be quite as much fun as the original TWEWY control scheme, but I picked up a tablet stylus and I'm still having a real good time. I'm just glad my favourite DS game is getting a second round on the sunlight. Also TWEWY loving nails its aesthetic and now it's finally on a console that can make it look and sound as good as it always wanted to. Also I never have to deal with Mingle points again, praise the lord. what kind of stylus do you use? like a dope I assumed the 3ds stylus would work but of course it's a very different screen. Mokinokaro posted:Indies LOVE them. Not just for the less competitive market but apparently Nintendo's support for getting stuff ported to Switch is extremely good. indie games like Celeste do really well on Switch mainly because the ecosystem is less jumbled than Steam and the eshop puts new releases/recent uploads front and center for a week or so. the eshop needs some work in regards to how it divides things but for now it's a good deal for indie devs. speaking of which I double dipped for Into To The Breach and man it owns to have a device that will be capable of playing that, Mark of the Ninja, Hyper Light Drifter, Darkest Dungeon, Stardew, Diablo, and Broforce all on the go. 2018 was mainly a port year to stabilize the digital games on hand but they did such a good job with the selection of games being ported over. The only things I wanted but didn't get were RE4 for the 15th time and SUPERHOT.

Gonna be a little annoyed if this ends up being Central Fiction, the DLC, and ONE MORE CHARACTER LOL. Especially since the Switch controller is fine for Crosstag, but probably wouldn't cut it for a proper Blazblue game I felt like it was kind of a struggle to do fireball/dp motions on a joycon with BBTag. Are there recommended thumbstick extender/cap accessories that work well to alleviate that?

Sudden Javelin posted:So Diablo 3 is out soon. Somehow I've never played a Diablo game but if Nine Parchments was extremely my poo poo I presume I'll like it? Mainly in it for the couch co op if you loved Nine Parchments, Diablo 3 is going to make you flip your poo poo. It's the zenith of dungeon crawler isometric spellslinging loot games. Nine Parchments is very very basic and D3 gives you a loving incredible wealth of options and playstyles + freedom to play the game how you want in terms of difficulty, missions, and post-postgame challenges.

Lord_Hambrose posted:People being excited for Dark Souls in 2018 is so weird to me. I loved it at the time and everything, but wouldn't people prefer new stuff? I feel the same since Bloodborne just felt like a tremendous step forward in every single way and Sekiro looks like another significant step. But then again I always disliked the incredibly basic bitch "RPG" stuff in the other games, even BB, so a Souls game that centers on more mobility and less RPG stats just appeals to me more. Also I guess BB/Sekiro resonates more with me due to my personal dislike of boring gray medieval poo poo. Dragon's Dogma's gameplay was so goddamn good but I could not enjoy that game because the setting and story were mind-numbingly boring.

I think it was called Norse by Norsewest in several places but it was a pseudo-3D game with prerendered grafix, CD-quality music, and with full voice acting from various well known people (Rob Paulsen, Frank Welker, Jim Cummings). That version was on Saturn/PC/PS1 so in reality SNES was the version that got shafted.
