The Nintendo Switch

Yeah, it's not a good thing. Tbh, it's sort of a meme among his fans, and it sucks there, too. Anyway he's funny.

I bought Death Road to Canada because it was discounted to $11, I think, which is not bad. I wasn't interested at first because it seemed like another 8-bit dungeon crawler rogue like whatever, but then I saw it described as Oregon Trail with zombies, and learned that it's infused with tons of weird humor, so I decided, what the heck.

for me Monster Hunter works best on portable so I'm happy to see this finally getting localized

HUNT ANYWHERE. HUNT ANY WAY. HUNT ULTIMATE.

I’ll probably try that, I have never Hun’d Mons and I am not gonna get a PS4 ever probably and who needs “quality of life improvements” anyways

MH is not my thing but maybe I'll get it if i have ppl to coop with

think the switch release pace is gonna pick up to the point where i can't play everything though

why not just port MH World?

this port has already existed for a while in Japan. porting World is a much bigger task than localizing this. maybe it'll happen in the future.

MHW has a lot of quality of life improvements & fancy graphics, but Generations Ultimate has a stupid amount of content. I think there's over 3 times as many monsters than MHW to hunt? It's basically a huge love letter to fans of previous MH games, but I expect lots of sniffy reviews and think pieces in Western media about how archaic it feels compared to the new shiny shiny etc.

have E3 preannouncements started already?
puzzle fighting game with a bizarre mashup of characters - Cave Story, Binding of Isaac, Astro Boy, Black Jack(!) and the deepest cut of all, Johnny Turbo the Turbografx mascot wtf

nicalis has a 2d fighting game with the same or similar roster too

i guess they got the licenses for all these characters and are trying to squeeze 2 games out of it isntead of 1

there was a Walmart leak that listed Metroid Prime 4, wonder if that will be this year

Metroid Prime 4 will not release in 2018.

hey we don't know that... seems unlikely though

sure, we don't know, but I'd be surprised as heck if it did

they sent out deadlines for backer surveys for Bloodstained recently. i am getting it on Switch. wouldn't surprise me to see it at E3 w a 2018 release.

is that the castlevania-but-not game?

yeah.

BBxTAG demo with 20 characters out for this weekend

im garbage at this style of fighting game but can still tell this is a fun one

I gave it a shot for a while and yeah serious fighters are probably just not going to happen for me

was enjoying beating up other newbies with linne for a bit even though i have no familiarity with the game she's from but all the persona kids and sol badguy-alikes are boring to me. feel like i only have room on my switch for one non-smash fighting game and i doubt this is the one, my puny brain can't deal with the tag team mechanics.

"Under Night In-Birth Exe:Late[st]" is an unimpeachable game name though

other wacky fighters heading Switch-ward this year - see Blade Strangers (crossover game of... random indie characters) and SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy

Under Night is pretty great! problem is it took three years for the last version to make it over here, and it released the week after Dragonball FighterZ

Backed Bloodstained belatedly (that make me a so-called "slacker backer"?) because now they're sending out that 8-bit retro game for free with it as well. Seems fun!

i bought a microSDXC memory card for my Switch and now i can't find a converter. i have several microSD to SD converters but they are too big to fit in the Switch! please tell me there is a microSD to whatever Switch compatible SD i can get (and what it's called)...

switch uses microSD

the port is behind the kickstand

hah omg there is! i thought i was going to have to fit it into where the games go

:O

yeah it took me a minute but i figured out what you were doing wrong

also, woah at the Bloodstained 8-bit game coming out in like 2 weeks!

Wow that actually looks pretty 8-bitty

played a bit more blazblue crosstag this morning, still awful at it but i'm enjoying it more now

xp inti creates does good work generally on these retro style games

yeah i'm actually becoming tempted to get blazblue xtag now that i understand what it's doing, auto-combos + the super-condensed control scheme are exactly what i want in a fighting game. still not convinced i need a trad fighting game though with smash on the way

big if true

is that like diddy kong racing?

i guess? It's the rumoured new Retro studio game. Could be awesome if done well? They did Mario Kart 7... generally make amazing games...

A star fox racing game where you’re the pit crew leader and all you do is communicate to the driver via radio, and you have to be Pepe

lol

space racing is just space combat with no shooting

that logo is fake iirc but the rumor is still valid

Keeping tabs on nearly-baseless-rumor threads on ResetEra just makes me feel insane but I’ve stopped using Twitter so I don’t know what else to refresh all day.

ciderpress what is your friend code

SW-1126-4943-0808

i think that's right, if it's a yoshi egg avatar then it's me

i wonder if the Switch is powerful enough to eventually support a VR peripheral. the Switch has gyros, it has motion tracking, in both the screen and the joycons. it would surprise me if Nintendo does not eventually do something like that. or if not them, then it seems like someone might be able to fabricate a Gear VR-style holder for the Switch, Labo-style.

it is not powerful enough for VR
