Tafferling posted:Tails of iron was a teeny bit laggy and unenjoyable last time I played it on the switch, did they optimize it a little in the latest patches? Wii Sports was phenomenal back in the day for parties and playing with people who never touch games. It still has the same basic charm and accessibility. Well, at least the staples like Tennis and Bowling. Can’t speak much for the newer types of games included but you could certainly do worse than have it kicking around in your library.

Sad Panda posted:Thanks to whoever mentioned Tails of Iron 2 - it lead to me grabbing the first one. Good game. At first I regretted playing on normal difficulty but a few more deaths and I got used to the combat enough. Finished main story and now working through the post game content. Enjoyable - downside is it does like to crash every now and then. Most annoyingly was when I had just beat the final boss and it was travelling to the main area and then froze up. Got to beat the final boss again.  How long did it take for you to finish the main story?

Notable April 2024 releases 04-04-2024 Freedom Planet 2 ($24.99, on sale for $22.49 until 4/11/2024, rated T) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TxsgtHPsVrA I was not familiar with this series and lol jesus christ just call it "sonic ripoff 2". GOTTA GO 04-16-2024 Planet of Lana ($19.99, on sale for $17.99 until 4/16/2024, rated E) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_OwbNsTxSB8 I don't know who Lana is or why she gets a planet, but it looks like a 2D puzzle platformer in the vein of Inside (but not as creepy?). Your nice peaceful planet is getting taken over by robots. I didn't know anything about this game but it looks kinda rad (I really liked Limbo and Inside) 04-11-2024 Moonglow Bay ($19.99, on sale for $18.74 until 4/11/2024, rated E) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=50Rl5mpPwqc You are trying to save a dying town. You do this by fishing! All you fish heads out there that grumble there aren't any fishing games on switch should look into this! Has drop in, drop out local coop. Catch fish, cook them then eat them so you can upgrade your poo poo. 151 species of fish to kill, one by one 04-16-2024 Grounded ($39.99, on sale for $31.99 until 4/16/2024 rated T) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bkBRgdXq-Wg Honey I Shrunk the Kids + Ark, I think 04-23-2024 Tales of Kenzera: ZAU Standard Edition ($17.99 rated E) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZwg0vNVPf0 2D platformer/action/metroidvania game: ZAU is a shaman trying to save has father or something. Gameplay looks kinda badass, certainly reminds me of the recent Prince of Persia. I think this game is worth a look. I am seeing a lot of air dashing in the video 04-23-2024 Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes ($49.99 rated E) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uOb8B1c-BcI Turn based JRPG. I've never played Suikoden but it looks kind like it? Someone correct me if I'm wrong. Looks kinda rad but who has time for a JRPG these days 04-23-2024 TMNT Arcade: Wrath of the Mutants ($29.99, on sale for $25.49 until 4-23-2024 so pre-order now. Rated E) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfLpm4w2olc This was a new arcade game in 2017? Ninja turtles in an arcade beat em up, based on the 2012 series...you can't go wrong. 04-25-2024 Demon Slayer - Kimetsu no Yaiba - Sweep the Board! ($59.99 rated T) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ER2hl7HUWI&t=1111s That's about the most anime sounding title I've ever seen. Hard to find footage of this one on youtube, so here's the 5 second blip on the partner showcase. Don't blink. I can't get the youtube time encode right but it's at 18 min 31 seconds 04-25-2024 Another Crab's Treasure (no price listed, rated T) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yEaLBYS6YMw Soulslike adventure where you are a hermit crab trying to get your repossessed shell back. Kinda has Spongebob vibes? You must collect junk to use as a shell and uncover why the ocean is polluted or something 04-25-2024 Whisker Waters ($24.99, rated E) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovgZRgdF89A Another fishing game! You are a kitty cat that loves to fish. A "casual adventure fishing life simulation RPG", I would expect plenty of whimsy. Is this a good game? Someone let minnow. 04-25-2024 SaGA: Emerald Beyond (~$50.00?, rated T) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QplvkQ33EpQ Newest game in the SaGA series. Turn based combat where you can manipulate the timeline and use team attacks. Pick between 6 heroes and travel through 17 realms. The choices you make will unlock new options and story elements in a dynamic narrative. Sounds like a lot of game As usual, if I missed any games worth looking into, post them!

Planet of Lana's aggressively okay. Once you see the first round of puzzle structures it doesn't really mix it up for the game for the most part. Big warning ahead do not play if you are photosensitive. It's mostly fine, but gently caress me is the final boss headache-inducing with how much flashing colours are used.Dr. Cool Aids posted:Freedom planet 1 was fun gameplay wise but there's an option to play it like a sonic game (back to back stages, no cutscenes) which is basically mandatory as its the most deviantart poo poo you've ever seen iirc, wasn't Freedom Planet the one that started as a Sonic Fangame, got DMCA'd, or a legal talking-to or something, and they rebuilt it into their own thing?

They didn’t get hit with legal action, they just decided to make it into a proper game. The Sonic inspiration is very very obvious but it’s not a 1:1 clone, Freedom Planet has a fair share of unique mechanics of its own and is a lot more action-focused than classic Sonic. There’s a bit of Gunstar Heroes DNA in there with the enemies and setpieces. Augus fucked around with this message at 12:40 on Apr 1, 2024 |

Heran Bago posted:How are the Luigi's Mansion sequels?

Two is mission based because that's a more ideal format for a handheld. Also the more ideal format for a 40 year old dad with a demanding job. 3 is also basically mission based it's just all in one location and split into floors instead of different buildings

My partner and I played the heck out of the Scarescraper mode on LM2, and thanks to the download play feature of the 3DS we only ever bought one copy too, haha. Literally hundreds of hours sunk into that. We were amped when LM3 came out, but that game's Scarescraper mode never scratched that same itch. I guess we'll see with the re-release of LM2 if it was us or the game that changed. But yeah, LM2 will always hold a special place in my memories even though I couldn't tell you a thing about the single player mode, though I guess I did play through it all at some point.

Tbf, you can skip every cutscene and the story feels like a love-letter to stupid 90s kids shows instead of a tone deaf embarassing hosed up nightmare. There's also a lot of structural changes that made it necessary - you get to choose the order for most levels, there's a world map with shops and hubs and different equipment. It also feels way different from a Sonic game than the first, but it is very easy to recommend to anyone that likes momentum based action platformers. If it runs well it'll be a day one purchase for me, it's the sort of game that I really like to play on the go every once in a while. Edit: the villian in Freedom Planet 2 looks like Freiza and is written like a Sailor Moon villian arc iirc. So very stupid and shallow, but tonally consistent with a pretty clear look and style. In the first game every scene was made by a different writer that took the project too ssriously, but also put in no effort. So a level may end with the girls having a happy slumber party, or escaping prison, or hitting up a casino or being horribly tortured. But would be 10 loving minutes long to build a world so tonally inconsistent that Shadow the Hedgehog couldn't find a place there.

My kid have up on peach game because of the garbage cake decorating, and not in about to. So you gotta do every cake on the same go through, and on a time crunch, and not they like your frosting so if you rub out you automatically fail? tHIS is the game they needs a pity skip but f no helpor tricks to cheat? It physically takes all the frosting to do the first two cakes so there's nothing left for the third. And literally no way to progress?! Actually id be fine just as ong asthere's enough sparkles in the other levels to still beat the game and we'll just move on past this door PageMaster fucked around with this message at 00:01 on Apr 2, 2024 |
