Played through the story of Kirby Star Allies with my kid (he would have me help in some levels or be second player sometimes). Haven't ever played a Kirby all the way before. Does he always have so many friends and frenemies? It's pretty cute. We found the lightning mage at the end to be way tougher than anything else, but partly due to my kid controlling Kirby and staying in the top corner to be safe , which seemed to make the cpu friends not attack either. Now we're enjoying the silly little modes that unlocked. It's kind of wild to do the boss rush with guys with you and see them breaking out a ton of moves I have never pulled off myself. Heck, I didn't realize I could block/dodge until a loading screen near the end. I tried explaining to my wife about Kirby going from a park to fighting a galaxy destroyer and she said "it's mother's day"

Hughmoris posted:I have a Switch. I haven't played a Zelda since Link to The Past. Should I buy the new Zelda, or buy Breath of The Wild first? Play links awakening (get it from the library, like with the 2d kirbys). Im playing it with my kid and it's really fun, I like it a ton better than botw which I fell off of halfway through

Got Kirby and forgotten land from the library. drat it rules. Playing star allies first was the right move since I understand the mechanics a little bit better now

B33rChiller posted:Hey, been any new Kirby's lately? Helped the kid beat forgotten land today. It was great. Mouthful mode is wonderful The penultimate boss fight was real annoying though, tons of unhittable parts I wish we had any clue what's with meta knight and dedede and the waddle dees. All we know is Kirby is trying to have a lovely day and a horrible thing happens he has to stop before going back to a nap

Relax Or DIE posted:hey switch thread, I was told this was the place to ask - FFXVI comes out in a few weeks and I was wondering if y'all could advise me on what's the best amount of laudanum to slip my kids (8 & 11) to keep them out of commission for just a couple of weeks while I knock out the platinum I recommend benadryl. It helps with their allergies and keeps them from having another asthma attack where you have to waste time taking them to the ER

I have a one year enrollment for Nintendo switch online (via some great goons in sa-mart) and the amount of gaming options are overwhelming. I think I'd like to explore games as a series - i.e. do more Kirbys til bored of them, then Marios, then Zeldas. Are there any real stinkers to avoid or is the curation going to mean anything we try out is a good time?

Sakurazuka posted:When the Konami Contra collection came out I ended up playing through that like six times in a row for all the endings and it's a great feeling once you know all the bosses enough to do them without relying on any emulator shenanigans. Shattered soldier is the only game I've ever quit on due to difficulty. I could get S ranks in every level, but I couldn't do it sequentially to open up the 6th and 7th one. It made me so loving angry. I keep.saying I'll emulate and beat it , I probably should. Rewind is crazy compared to save states though, my kid is just brute forcing Mario land rewinding nonstop. Even for the end panel stuff, so he has like 85 lives now

Meowywitch posted:I don't know if Zelda really needs to be open world or if it even excels there I don't think Zelda fits well with open world even though I'm well in the minority. I enjoyed the getting new ability in 2d zeldas, then go back around the overworld looking for places it can open up. Same as a metroidvania, but from a different perspective. Open world just doesn't lend itself well to that, at all. I really believe open world either needs something fun to do in combat (horizon fights vs robots) or be densely packed (yakuzas). Exploration for its own sake is just extremely tedious. And other than lynels, the combat just falls flat in BOTW. But I'm also someone who really disliked the open world aspects of Elden Ring that were a huge hit with most people.

It gets a bit more difficult and there's one level that's unreasonably scary for kids but it's overall a very relaxed time, especially with the mode where you can always fly

For Hades, after a handful of runs I recommend going into the settings and turning on God mode. It helps a lot when you're still grinding through your permanent unlocks and learning how all the interactions work. It just boosts your damage resistance by 2% each time you die, and doesn't ever make you invulnerable.

eightysixed posted:Haven’t beat dad once You should be beating him by your 30th run and consistently by your 40th. Runs are like 20 minutes once you know what you're doing. Turn on God mode, it's just damage reduction.

Rupert Buttermilk posted:There's a "new" playlist that I'm sure you've seen, and I think it kind of gets rotated out very often. There are people in the MM2 community who just want to rack up "first clears" (which is a stat for how many times you've been the first person to clear a level), and also world records. Not saying they weren't interested but it's a lot easier to get a level played by randoms if it has a 0/0 clear rate (successes/attempts) than if it has anything higher than that.
