The Nintendo Switch

need at least one thousand power moons

don't worry there's also 900 korok seeds

mario vs rabbids is exactly charming enough

ha, yeah - it could easily have toppled over into 'lol so random' minions-style larfs but it toes the line perfectly

Octopath Traveller demo (square enix new-old school rpg coming as Switch exclusive) is up on the estore and its EXCELLENT.

Golden Sun vibes imo

is that good or bad

I thought golden sun was on the boring side and was only notable for being on handheld

I was a teenager when I started Golden Sun and maybe a young adult when I finished it I don't remember but I liked it and this game made me recall Golden Sun fondly, in particular the rhythm of the core combat mechanic of breaking and bursting reminded me of the Djinn system of unleashing and summoning. I bet this game is reminiscent of things that older people or people with different touchstones from the aughts might think of as more noteworthy but yknow I've never actually played a Final Fantasy other than FF Tactics Advance and uh the weird cartoony one for DS.

ah ok. visually this is very much trying to be FF6 but 2.5d-ized. I haven't seen the combat system yet so I can't speak to that

i like how it looks but the unskippable text and tiresome first attempts at fighting aren't helping

ALERT ALERT ALERT

is picross still fun in 2017

picross is fun for eternity

Agree.

Yep!

oh i keep forgetting this thing has a touchscreen since i don't have any games that use it yet

Nintendo stock is on a good run

Thank goodness for that, I sometimes worry Disney will try to buy them.

i'm 100% down for switch picross

looks solid! the switch is really turning out to be a way more capable performer than i'd expected

lol the audio sounds so wimpy

switch runs a lot of stuff at 900p or adaptive resolution which lets it cheat on its specs a bit

Octopath Traveller demo is gooood (if you read faster than the voice acting)

xp so do all consoles from time to time

Golf Story on Thursday

its weird no one seems to have seen or played it yet, pretty much no information released in advance other than the trailer

Golf Story is legit, Earthbound meets GBA Mario Golf. Might be the most Aussie game ever? Crikey!

yeah relieved to hear it's good. will grab it this weekend along with picross

oooh hoooo. so tempted by golf story

Getting both now

have also heard good things from multiple sources about steamworld dig 2 so that's in my queue as well

I assumed it was a Terraria type game but apparently it's more like a metroidvania

the first steamworld dig was a real pleasant surprise, might give the sequel a shot

i've only played about 45 minutes or golf story but it's a lot of fun so far - v charming

what am i missing about golf story? i can't find it on amazon or on the gamespot website. am i spelling something wrong or

it's only in the switch eshop

ah ok good to know

putting is bothering me on golf story but earthbound comparison is correct

Oh my god, there's gonna be a Steamworld Dig sequel! I love the first one so much, it might be one of my favorite platformers ever! I've been wishing for a sequel since the second I finished the first one (only flaw was that it seemed too short, imo)

Such an awesome feeling of progression as you gain additional powerups in that game. By the end you are effortlessly bouncing around the mines, practically flying

xp it's already out, on PC and switch at least

yeah, going to get that one. golf story does not appeal.

ordered mine! and zelda and a screen protector. did not get splatoon for some reason.

Splat2n is def not for everyone unlike Zelda/mario but it's a pretty much perfect realization of its concept

I've been playing without a screen protector. I want to see the marks I leave in a lynel fueled rage.

As soon as I saw they were in stock on Amazon I loaded all the answers on this thread and ctrl-F’d for the answers to my accessories question. I didn’t get an SD card though because we have those just lying all around the house

did not get splatoon for some reason.

welcome tombot

hate screen protectors, i'm living on the edge

Screen protectors are a sign of a sick society.
