I have never beaten a Final Fantasy game. During the PSX Era, I'd get to disc 3 and then just lose interest. Didn't finish FF 7, 8, 9, or Parasite Eve. I'd go over my friend's house and have him beat them so we could watch the endings.

The three biggest friendship-ruiners have to be Mario Party, Monopoly, and Mario Kart. Uno's up there, too.

Wasn't there a Golden Sun or something on 3DS that unlocked the alternate version after you beat it?

I think that was one of the Fire Emblems. But I think it was like, pay for the other version as DLC for the version you bought at retail, and THEN you get the real third game unlocked after you finish them both? It was something dumb either way.

That's the one I was thinking of :cheers:

In a similar vein... is there some way to get a "physical" download code? Like, a card with an eShop redemption code with say, Pokemon, on it, that I could stuff in a card to have something for my little brother to open on Christmas? I could just email him a code but it feels nicer to give him something to open.

Walmart and Target have cards for specific eShop games. I don't know about Pokemon, but they have ones for like Hollow Knight and Crypt of the Necrodancer, etc

Welp, the new update for Dead Cells has been getting stuck on the loading screen between levels for me. I have to close the game from the Home screen and load it up again to continue. The new stuff looks cool from what I found, plz fix.

Kinda crazy you can't even just post titles and your own descriptions. I'm surprised you have so many videos on hand. But why get this when you can just get Nuclear Throne? That's a fantastic shooter, if tough.

I've only beaten Nuclear Throne twice, and I always get vaporized on the next part. It's tough going back to Throne sometimes after being spoiled by Hades, but it's a choice between story, or five minutes of :blastu:

NT has it's own depth to it with shortcuts and secrets. It's gonna be a while before I unlock Skeleton. I'm not good with Melting.

Hey I have a dumb switch question.

If I have a physical version of a game and I buy that same game in the eShop, would I still be able to use my old save files in the downloaded version?

Bonus points if you know the answer for games in different regions because I live in the US ended up with a european copy of mario kart somehow.

Yes, the save file doesn't change. Don't know about other regions though. Maybe?

Probably gets asked a lot, but what are two or three must grab exclusives? And are all games available for digital download? Any performance differences between physical and dd?

Edit: and any suggestions for must have accessories would be handy

Breath of the Wild, and Mario Odyssey of course. Splatoon 2 is p great too.

ive tried reading books before but they did not provide enough extreme sensory duress for my liking.
does anybody know any books that just straight up give you a seizure?

Naked Lunch taught me enough about what opiates can do to your mind to stay far away from them. There's no satisfaction after finishing the novel. Only an exasperated feeling of "what the loving gently caress did I just read?"

Sleep mode is great. A better alternative to my brothers and I leaving the NES on all day and just turning off the tv at lunch and dinner. I did that all the way up to my 360, which might explain why I Red Ringed four of them.

guys what is the chillest game of all time. I'm talking, so chill that my switch will freeze over and I'll be forced to go outside.

Wilmont's Warehouse is fun. Animal Crossing is as chill as you want it to be. You're supposed to be saving the galaxy in Star Link, but you can faff about on alien planets scanning the wildlife as much as you want.

A Metroidvania set in the Overlord anime series is coming to Switch and Steam next year. You play as Clementine, who isn't exactly a nice person. Psycho got what she deserved after what she did in the show.

I just bought a switch for the first time. I got Breath of the Wild which seems obligatory, and I bought 100 dollars of estore credit. What should I buy now? What are the best things on Switch? I bought Battle Brothers because I wanted a strategy game and it's on sale and I've heard it's good.

What everyone else said, Dead Cells, and Streets of Rogue.

The Switch port of Saints 3 had some issues at launch, with weird rain and sound glitches, but they've been patched up since. Still has some distance draw, but it's not terrible.

My experience with Saints 4 is skewed because I first played it on Xbox and it was a buggy mess. I'm down to give it a second go for that sale price though. My nitpicks are that there's 2 scenes you have to do that are instant death if you touch the walls, and they sucked. Cars are useless once you get your powers up, and the game's only recourse is to make you do escort missions in them. It's also missing the best taunt from Saints 3 for whatever reason. "Kneel and suck, punk!"

Best Saints games go 2 > 3 > 4 imo.

Ooo what's Neuro Voider?

It's a rogue-like with killer robots, and a bangin soundtrack by Dan Terminus. Arcade action, 4 player co-op with tons of weapons and configurations for your bots. I like it because there's item gambling, and it really scratches that 'Numbers Go Up' itch like Borderlands and Diablo do. The levels can repeat themselves a bit, but you can also dual wield a nuclear missile launcher with a minigun named "The Apocalypse" so maybe it evens out.
