The Nintendo Switch

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.

i might peel mine off since it got a bit of dust under it somehow and i only use my switch docked or in bed anyway

I have a 6 year old

I'm going to follow all the important internet wisdom of applying it in a steamy room and then letting it cure for 24 hours

golf story is good but not super polished, you can kinda tell its from a first-time studio

i think my biggest complaint with it is the actual golf, the courses are all gimmicky and 9-hole so far. the mario golf games had some realistic, well designed 18-hole courses in addition to the gimmicky ones whereas this game seems to be entirely the latter.

we just got one of this, like literally 5 minutes ago. haven't bought a new system in an AGE. stoked.

:o

Stardew Valley out on Thursday.

Haven't played a life sim since Animal Crossing on GameCube I think and that didn't get nearly as much love from me as Harvest Moon 64 did so I'm excited for Thursday

yeah I've put off playing Stardew waiting for this port, i'm excited

yeah i'm in there as well

Should be a hit at our house, I suspect I'm not going to be the one playing

music and art look cool, but second-job-as-game has never appealed to me

IN FRONT

Finished Golf Story just in time for Stardew Valley. Lots of good jokes and a decent if somewhat easy golf game. The camera pullback to show the entire map at the end was a great moment and made me laugh.

Today's agenda is
Work
Haircut
Stardew Valley

I'm skipping the haircut

My hairdresser is hard to book so I gotta keep that appointment D:

the solution is to not have hair imo. more time for gaming

no time for IRL work until the Stardew Valley work is done, imo

I am honestly so jazzed to start breaking rocks

some good prognostication lols upthread re: the Switch's chances in the marketplace btw

ecstatic to be proven wrong tbh
