They called it nintendo switch cause nintendo switched to relying on atlus to save their console

all of those things are bad though
if you're not going to bother making the game interesting until the post-game please don't bother making the game

Diablo 2R is sick and I'm not even clouded by nostalgia because I never played it as a kid. I hear it's getting a patch pretty soon with buffs all around, which is good because I'm still banging my head against Act 2 Hell at the moment.

Zeal Paladin. I didn't wanna do hammer, whenever I play a game with builds I always try to do something a little unique, even if it's less efficient.

A game I considered on the Switch, esp while on sale is CrossCode. I played a little on the PC but it seems great for the switch. I remember liking the combat for what little I played, but I looked up thoughts on it in the past thread and there seems to be a mild consensus that the puzzles themselves are unfun. Are they that annoying to pull off/get past, enough to hinder the experience? Or is the general world/combat enough to carry it?

Like I said, it's just a hunch going off of how it was fixed in Tetris 99, since digital buttons having a sensitivity setting is already kind of weird. I wonder if the joycons having discrete buttons being the default has created QA blind spot where input filtering is being skipped entirely with a lot of games.

I did the tape mod on my own controller but the T99 sensitivity patch had the most drastic effect on my play before and after so it's definitely something that seems fixable in software. It'd be neat if it's something that could be implemented in a firmware patch or something to have that fix for every game, but who knows what kind of weird bugs it might introduce if a game isn't expecting that behaviour.

I feel like the designs both for the creatures and overall aesthetic were the highpoint for the 2d series, and maybe the series overall

It's so good. I never played it, originally, but played the remake and loved it. Ship combat? Cool! Sword fighting? Nice!

Wait.... There's DANCING TOO?!

Select your usual character and car type, press search and it will show you what builds are better. Typically anything heavy, I use a heavy mii. One of the metas is waluigi on wiggler.

Okami is in my personal all time top ten. Not for being a particularly impressive game from a technical standpoint (because it really isn’t IMO), but for how it made me feel the whole time I was playing it. Something about returning color and flowers and life to a devastated world hit me just right.

Any recommendations for someone who hasn't played Pokemon since Red & Gold on GBC and wants to get back into it? I'm considering getting Violet but wanted to know how the Pokemon games have changed since the old days. The only thing I know is that there are more Pokemon now, with more types.

There are probably others. Jet Force Gemini?

So watching this is making me wonder what the premise of Tears of the Kingdom is. "The heroes failed a hundred years ago and you're exploring the ruins" is a fantastic premise for an open world game. A lonely journey through ruins, meeting the few people making their lives in an empty world was the whole appeal of Breath of the Wild.

So if this is the same world, and the direct followup to that video- Zelda and Link are rebuilding a Hyrule that we already explored. Thoroughly. I guess there's stuff in the sky now and Gannondorf is doing something? But I can't imagine they'll come close to capturing the same appeal of the first game. And nothing I've heard suggests it'll be going in a totally different direction like they did when they followed up Ocarina of Time with Majora's Mask.

So like, without spoilers, do folks know what their angle is? I'm probably gonna get it 'cause it's been ages since I played Breath of the Wild back on the Wii U, but I can't bring myself to get that hyped about this new game 'cause I can't imagine a premise a fraction as compelling as the first coming out of this. What's the theoretical appeal of Tears of the Kingdom? I've only really seen the trailers.

All Nintendo games that are dubbed should have an alternative language option to replace all vocals with Animal Crossing style noises no matter how weird it would be for a game's tone or aesthetics.

Who says that about the Galaxies?. It's a glorified level pack to the point I know plenty of people who prefer 1 for the framing and hub stuff that 2 streamlined away.

I put 100 hours into TotK before summer while only completing one temple. I was away for three months and my switch has an annoying issue where the left joycon occasionally disconnects in portable mode so I was happy to wait to come back to playing it on my big screen at home. I also discovered that my switch is hackable and having seen 4k 60fps TotK I want to experience the rest of the game that way, but haven't yet got around to hacking my switch properly to pull the save off it, but it's nice to have that to look forward to and now we're in the doldrums of winter I'll do it soon.

Anyway I bought Dusk and Hades in the winter sale and have been loving the poo poo out of Dusk, as I knew I would. Still have Hades to try but I'm sure I'll love that too. I also borrowed Wonder from my nephew who 100% completed it, which was convenient because I was on the fence about buying it for myself. Switch owns.

does Mario Sunshine get better? I reached 30 shines to unlock the nozzles but it still feels very mid. I think mostly I dont like the controls, there's too many buttons for a Mario game

Bifner McDoogle posted:

Sunshine is mostly pretty great when you stick to just beating the game, which us mostly really good. All the extra shines never give you a reward and are mostly really bad. It's still a must play game if you like platformers, even if it's a weaker Mario game on the whole. Its definitely not a weird mess like Star Fox Adventures or something where something obviously went wrong. I was pretty dissapointed back in the day, but I gotta admit I couldn't put the game down until the terrible final level.

I feel like it gets judged pretty harshly not just because it's a follow up to 64, but it also had to be THE platformer for the GameCube and 2002 was just an amazing year for platformers overall. You had Ratchet and Clank, Sly Cooper and Jak and Daxter come out around the same time for PS2. Rareware was sold to microsoft, so Mario Sunshine seemed to be the only exclusive platformer you would get for the GameCube. Which meant it was competing with 64 and also 3 new Sony IP's that felt really fresh, focused and polished in comparison. All these games are flawed and are smart enough to make a lot of stuff optional. But Sunshine is the only one from that era where people can reference the flaws as a cultural touchstone, which is kind of another reason to play it honestly.
