lol Sufjan. Bloodstained looks like it will be cool. and i can't believe they are actually a Castlevania cartoon. i think it involves people from Adventure Time so that's pretty promising.
i wonder if any ILXors will experience the technical issues getting reported like the controllers losing sync etc. wouldn't surprise me if that was just the internet blowing up edge cases out of proportion as usual.

I watched a bit of a 1-2-Switch stream last night. It looks like you'd need to be drinking for it to be fun.

Just realised that the ghosts in Mario are a lot like most cows, they only come towards you when you turn your back on them.

Glancing at the Zelda thread, peering at the glimpses of the retro-2D Square RPG, and skimming a stupid clickbait Gamespot article about the system's exclusives has me bizarrely tempted to buy a new console and games for it for the first time since um... begging my parents for a Genesis. (Not counting picking up a PS in 2000 or abusing my roommate's XBox 360 or whatever.) I mean: Arms is an arena fighting game where up to two players play duke it out as combatants with extendable arms. Shut up and take my money!

I want one of these so bad it's exacerbating my anxiety
― softie (silby), Tuesday, 14 March 2017 22:33 (seven years ago) link
same
it really sells itself, it's a wonderfully slick piece of hardware. seeing it in person was just a !!!! moment where i went from 'will probably get this' to 'need one immediately hellp'. it didn't fully register that this zelda game is on a HANDHELD until i saw it.

I'm going to be cynical AF and continue to spend my beer money as labeled until there's a day 60 patch and there's a Terraria port with non-local multiplayer. I think. I can't believe I'm saying any of that.
― SFTGFOP (El Tomboto), Wednesday, 15 March 2017 01:15 (seven years ago) link
Terraria port is already confirmed for this year (dont know about co-op though). Minecraft too which should really expand the reach to a lot of people given Vitas are so hard to find.
Been playing local co-op bouts of King Of Fighters 98 and Metal Slug 3 in the office this week with the joycons - so much quick pick up and play fun. great little machine.

im still holding out for another good title before i go in on this. feeling burned by wiiu tbh and want to see further evidence that this isn't that
― art, Wednesday, 15 March 2017 17:41 (seven years ago) link
i would be all in on switch versions of xenoblade, splatoon, mario maker, the newest DK and Smash bros... presuming those are on the way plus nu-zelda/nu-mario is probably gonna sell me this system once it is available/money woes are properly put in order/hardware and software are in v2.1
― removed from the rain drops and drop tops of experience (ulysses), Wednesday, 15 March 2017 18:17 (seven years ago) link
splatoon 2 and xenoblade 2 are already announced for this year
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 15 March 2017 18:38 (seven years ago) link
and nu-mario is supposed to be the big holiday release obv
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 15 March 2017 18:39 (seven years ago) link
― ciderpress
xenoblade 2 is projected for 2017 just in japan, right? and that's not a firm release date and could very easily be delayed. if/when xenoblade 2 hits in r1 we will be getting a switch... not sure if the mario alone will be enough to push us over the edge.
― increasingly bonkers (rushomancy), Wednesday, 15 March 2017 21:03 (seven years ago) link
i'm just ready to play the first one tbh
― removed from the rain drops and drop tops of experience (ulysses), Wednesday, 15 March 2017 21:06 (seven years ago) link
by "the first one" do you mean x? the first one was on the wii and ported to the "new 3ds". x was the wii u one.
― increasingly bonkers (rushomancy), Wednesday, 15 March 2017 21:48 (seven years ago) link
right, right: xenoblade 1 was wii (which was impossible to get even when i had a wii attached to my television) right? i'm finally a generation behind.
― removed from the rain drops and drop tops of experience (ulysses), Wednesday, 15 March 2017 21:52 (seven years ago) link
yeah, the original xenoblade chronicles was massively underprinted in r1, and was only released in the first place as a result of "operation rainfall"; the apparent belief was that nobody was interested in jrpgs in the west. if you didn't pre-order it, you probably didn't get to buy it.

the pain
but yes, xenogears is so good
― Karl Malone, Wednesday, 15 March 2017 22:20 (seven years ago) link
xenogears was approximately as good as xenosaga wasn't

I had the same issue with Xenogears! I couldn't get past a boss, but given where I was saved I also couldn't backtrack to level up.

switch isn't region locked right? so you could play them in japanese if localization doesn't happen

With all their remakes how have they never gotten off their guff to do the SD series in English

best option is a rpi emulating nintendo ds emulating a bootcamp mac emulating the work-in-progress pc version, or an iphone video in portrait mode showing the results of that, even better
