I love my Switch. I play it on my lunch breaks, I play it at home. My wife and I play Splatoon 2 together online because we each have our own Switch. We have parties where our friends bring their Switches over and we play eight-player Mario Kart. It’s good.

404notfound posted:I just found out TWEWY won't let you use joycon and touch controls simultaneously. Wasn't that the whole point of the original? 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.

XBC2 is great I have like 230 hours in it and haven’t done NG+ or Torna yet. They’ve patched out a lot of the little annoying things which I somehow suffered through for my first play through and made it a much better game. Would recommend.

Hey thread, BestBuy is selling two Labo kits for $99 and I am interested in getting them for my nephew. He is turning 5 in January (so I was gonna do one kit for Xmas and one for his birthday). I’m worried it might be too complicated for him in spite of the fact that he’s very advanced for his age. Does anyone have experience with Labo who could advise me? Will he be too young?

The Bloop posted:1. Do you mean actually advanced for his age or every family thinks their kid is a super genius advanced for his age? I mean I don’t have any quantifiable test score or something showing his intelligence. He started negotiating with adults by making well-reasoned arguments at like age 2 which we all thought was crazy. He can read a little bit and this could be a chance to help him with that. He is pretty lacking in patience though so that would make it tough. I’m certainly willing to sit down with him and work on a kit but I will for sure ask his parents first. He really loves video games and also crafts and I thought this could be a great way to bridge that gap and make his video game time more educational and creative. We are also worried about him potentially destroying it but with an adult working closely he should be okay.

My 4-year-old nephew has been unlocking characters in Smash by himself because he is some kind of crazy Wunderkind. So what I’m saying is, get Smash for your kid.

VampiricGiraffe posted:Thanks all for the recs. Probably gonna give disgaea V a shot first. I mean I know it isn’t turn-based but Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is good and has hundreds of hours of content, including a really really good DLC standalone prequel. The story is decent although it gets extremely dumb at points. I would recommend it if you like JRPG’s. Edit: Barudak posted:Ahahahahahha no.

Octopath is on sale so I finally bit the bullet and picked it up. I played the demo as the huntress but I heard starting with the thief is good because you can open locks earlier. So I will probably do that? I guess I can use that save and just unlock him next.

Polyakov posted:It's not neccesary at all, I recommend picking the character you like the look of the most as they will always be in your party. So I always have to have huntress in my party if I use that save? That sucks, her special power seems not that great. That seems like a bad mechanic but whatever.

I’ve been checking a lot of places to see if Kirby Star Allies would ever go on sale, and it hasn’t. I can use my BestBuy GamerClub plus some credits to get it for like $30, that’s probably worth it right?

I picked up Necrodancer in anticipation of Cadence of Hyrule but I am a little confused by it. I get rouge-likes but I feel like I don’t understand what sense of progress I am supposed to be getting. I’m on zone 3 with Cadence and right now it feels more like bashing my head against a wall than anything. I don’t get many diamonds because I usually die quickly. I rescued all the people in zone 2 so I can buy upgrades to start with but I usually die regardless so it feels like a waste. If there’s a dragon on a floor I die like 95% of the time. Should I be grinding easier levels to get diamonds to unlock better equipment/more hearts? Even unlocking better equipment is no guarantee that you will even get it and the starting equipment is so bad I am usually at low health by the time I get a good weapon. Also I don’t really understand the point of the Janitor? Is there an in-game manual I missed?

Chin Strap posted:Practice using the Arenamaster. Dragons especially are hard and you need to learn how to circle around them correctly. There are video tutorials if you need it. Do I not need to play through the zones individually to unlock the harder ones? Can I do that in all zones mode? If that’s the case I will just start playing in all zones mode. Makes me nostalgic for the days of the Ancient Cave in Lufia II.

Golgo13 posted:I would like a level editor designed for Necrodancer, Enter the Gungeon or Darkest Dungeon that could enable people to design a well paced, challenging, story driven game with predetermined drops within the exact same games. Literally the exact same games but without the randomised roguelite side. Have you ever played Lufia II? This is a baffling design choice, then.

Is there a thread for Yoshi? I preordered it and played the demo, but I’m still curious about people’s first impressions. The reviews pretty uniformly say that it’s beautiful and chill but doesn’t ever really get difficult. I thought Yoshi’s Island got pretty tough by the final world (especially if you’re going for 100%) so I’m surprised that they’ve never been able to recapture that level of difficulty.

Neddy Seagoon posted:Oh, they recaptured it in Woolly World. Getting from start to finish is generally easy. Getting to the end with 100% on some levels is brutal. And the last world does indeed start to throw a few challenges at you. I don’t remember Wooly World being that difficult. I recall there being several hidden balloons and things that were nearly impossible to find without a guide, in a bad way.

Supercar Gautier posted:FF7 and FF9 both have this problem where the introductory plot and aesthetic give way to something else that isn't as fun. In 7 it's like "hell yeah punk eco-terrorists fighting the corporate overlords", but then that gets ditched so you can chase a supervillain around the world. In 9 it's like "hell yeah fanciful muppet-y swashbuckling adventures", but then there's mostly a bunch of death and it finishes on an awkwardly-explained sci-fi nonsense plot. Basically they destroy the crystal and it unleashes Necron, a terrible being who wants to destroy everything? I think? Idk. He was trapped in the Crystal and Kuja was tying to release him to get revenge on Garland or some poo poo I don’t really know.

I would probably like Crafted World more if I didn’t try to do all of the box guy’s requests the first time I do a world. It gets tedious. I have been using them as an excuse to grab flowers/red coins I missed the first time through but beyond that it’s a slog.

I know Yoshi’s Crafted World isn’t very difficult to beat (although some of the I Spy poo poo in the levels can be frustrating) but goddamn the boss challenges seem nuts. Beat the end boss without getting hit once?  The end boss owns, btw. The last set of levels before the end boss are also good. I haven’t played the bonus world yet but I assume it’s also good.

Lmao the first bonus level in Yoshi’s Crafted World is a series of rollers over a death pit and if you fall you have to start the whole level over and lose everything you picked up  finally a real challenge.Edit: I would love it if they patched in a hard mode where you can’t equip costumes and falling in a pit is instant death. Then it might feel like a real platformer. Blackbelt Bobman fucked around with this message at 03:53 on Apr 9, 2019 |

The secret boss in Yoshi’s Crafted World is extremely good although I am bad at the giant robot controls. That’s one complaint I have about the game. I would have liked to have seen more use of stuff like the giant robot instead of every single level being a one-off gimmick. I would pay Nintendo for DLC of more levels like the secret world and another hard boss. It’s good stuff.

The digital version of M+R that comes with the DLC goes on sale sometimes Anyway the DLC campaign is pretty fun if you liked the main game. And having the DLC weapons makes the main campaign much more tolerable.

Alan_Shore posted:All of Octopath's stories are pretty average to bad. I haven't finished them all yet but so far Tressa and Olberic's last bosses were barely even related to their stories and introduced in the last chapter. I'm sure they won't be the last either. Olberic’s final boss is the man who orchestrated the fall of Hornberg, which is like the most important event in Obleric’s life so I’m not really sure why you think that isn’t significant. Tressa... is Tressa. She does whatever she wants and her story is kinda random.

I’m kind of frustrated to learn that they added new features to the Switch/XBone versions of FFXII that they probably won’t patch into the PS4 version. I bought it on PS4 for cheap before they announced it for Switch but haven’t had a chance to play it yet. I would love to be able to reset jobs/license boards and save multiple Gambit setups but I’m not going to buy the game again.

I downloaded Collection of Mana and forced myself to play through Final Fantasy Adventure since I’ve never beaten it. Hot take: it really has not aged well. The hit detection is extremely janky, the music is mostly awful and the dungeons are horribly designed. A few hours into the game they are each a massive sprawling series of rooms with one correct path and several decoy paths that either lead to dead ends or loop you back to earlier in the dungeon. The worst thing is the locked door/key stuff. You can either buy keys or get certain enemies to drop them (which is rare) but if you’re in a dungeon and hit a locked door but don’t have a key you either have to find an enemy that drops them or backtrack all the way to the closest town to buy some more. Do yourself a favor and skip it unless you really want to see the origins of the systems that get greatly improved in later titles (charging powerful attacks, different weapons having practical applications outside battle, choosing stats upon level up, etc.).
