xp inti creates does good work generally on these retro style games
― ciderpress, Saturday, 12 May 2018 15:38 (six years ago) link
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

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...

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.

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.
― Hazy Maze Cave (Adam Bruneau), Monday, 14 May 2018 20:34 (five years ago) link
it is not powerful enough for VR
― ciderpress, Monday, 14 May 2018 20:40 (five years ago) link
Also other companies are doing VR, so Nintendo won’t be interested since it wouldn’t be a point of differentiation for the hardware
― valorous wokelord (silby), Monday, 14 May 2018 20:57 (five years ago) link
Why would you want to add chunky peripherals to a system whose main selling point is being portable AND a console
― El Tomboto, Monday, 14 May 2018 20:57 (five years ago) link
good point. i would advise against using it while driving your car or taking the bus or being on an airplane.

Today it’s Pokemon rumors, something about this year’s games being a revisit/reimagining of the Kanto region featuring Pikachu and Eevee versions.Also the story mode for Mario Tennis has gotten more details in a trailer. Luigi gets kidnapped! Experience points and equipment upgrades!Also fresh trailer for Octopath. The big thing there is as you collect the protagonists into your party you can switch whose story you are playing through at any time within your one save file.

Mario tennis looking less and less skippable... too many games to play this summer
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 15 May 2018 18:58 (five years ago) link
Online test tournament June 1-3 for Tennis; I like these network stress tests disguised as free previews.

yeah they're good except sometimes they cause me to suddenly have another game i want to buy that i could have remained blissfully unaware of like the blazblue one
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 15 May 2018 19:03 (five years ago) link
hah!
― Nhex, Tuesday, 15 May 2018 19:07 (five years ago) link
that's your fault for posting about in here I'll have you know. turned out to be my favorite fighting game I've played in ages, mechanically
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 15 May 2018 19:09 (five years ago) link
also wizard of legend is out today, it's now the good roguelite

xp not on Switch, but if you haven't, take a look at the fighting systems for Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite (very similar w/2v2 and fluid change outs) and Dragonball FighterZ especially being pretty accessible. Even last year's KOF has single button autocombos as well(I'm kinda sorta looking forward to Blade Strangers and SNK Heroines as well)
― Nhex, Tuesday, 15 May 2018 20:14 (five years ago) link
i'll probably give blade strangers a try, it looks kinda trashy but the roster is hilarious. did they ever make more umehara kawase games or is her inclusion just an extremely deep cut?
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 15 May 2018 20:18 (five years ago) link
not really looking for non switch fighters atm and it's sacrilegious to say it but ive never really liked dbz's character designs in general so that's less appealing to me even if it does come to switch
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 15 May 2018 20:21 (five years ago) link
awwwwwww. but Toriyama did Chrono Trigger and all the Dragon Quest games too! (though with... less blonde spiky hair)
the PSP Umehara games got ported to PC in 2015 - that's the last I've heard of the series. but yes, that is a ridiculous deep cut
― Nhex, Wednesday, 16 May 2018 04:37 (five years ago) link
err, Vita/3DS, not PSP. got the generation wrong
― Nhex, Wednesday, 16 May 2018 04:38 (five years ago) link
Toriyama’s DQ characters are his best, tbf. DBZ is a quagmire of indistinguishable five-heads and unpleasantly rigid musculature.
― El Tomboto, Wednesday, 16 May 2018 04:45 (five years ago) link
i like the chrono trigger and DQ designs, just not dbz
lol not only is kawase in but some other character from those games is now - even deeper cut

hyrule warriors definitive edition this weekend, lets go
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 16 May 2018 21:18 (five years ago) link
Some neat looking games coming out lately, like Don't Starve and Little Nightmares, but the prices seem waaaay too high. The former is $20, but the latter is $30. Again, could better be justified if they weren't significantly more than the same product on other systems (unless I am missing something?).

Ok I went out and bought Hyrule Warriors, have never played a musou before, this game is like delicious button-pressing popcorn.
― valorous wokelord (silby), Sunday, 20 May 2018 01:35 (five years ago) link
musou games can be confusing until you figure out that they're really just RTSes where you play as a single unit rather than as the hand of god

What is this weirdness with Resident Evil 7 coming to Switch ... as a Japan-only streaming title?
― Josh in Chicago, Monday, 21 May 2018 17:29 (five years ago) link
An experiment, presumably.

Anybody else pick up the Korg Gadget? It's been criticized for missing some features (it does suck that there's no built-in way to export audio) but it's a fun little collection of virtual synths/musical scratch pad.

I paid for it on iPad so haven't seen a good reason to buy it again. It's pretty cool, but kinda stuck between a diversion and something actually useful for making music.

Is there any gameplay or other difference between buying the cartridges and the download codes for Zelda and Mario Odyssey? The cartridges seem out of stock everywhere and I may have access to the system this weekend.
― calstars, Tuesday, 22 May 2018 01:04 (five years ago) link
no difference other than you need enough space for the digital download. the system's internal storage should hold those 2 games though if it's not already been filled by other things
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 22 May 2018 01:21 (five years ago) link
(or you can put em on a microSD card if you have one of those)
