yeah I've played almost all the zeldas, but this one is unlike any other

the switch isn't underpowered for a console that can run off a battery, it's actually quite impressive. i think people will be surprised at the quality of graphics it can push once devs have had more time with it. im expecting metroid prime 4 to get some 'wait, the switch can do that?' reactions when we finally see it.

oh yeah, I forgot octopath. I'll play that

Honestly, another reason I didn't start Zelda is because I was expecting to start Dark Souls. But I guess with Dark Souls off the table for who knows how long, maybe it's time for Zelda.

I'm actually sort of getting bummed with my Switch
I still haven't started Mario Odyssey or Zelda
i think we've found your problem

I am very late to rocket league, but I don't know if I'll ever get tired of it. I might throw my switch against a wall, though.

I bought my Switch about five months ago, have pretty much only played Zelda the entire time, and am very, very happy.
I got Odyssey in February, played it a couple times, it's nice, but Zelda keeps wanting to be played, and I'm still loving it.
― Chuck_Tatum, Thursday, 24 May 2018 21:54 (five years ago) link
Another reason I haven't played Mario or Zelda yet is that I know they are awesome, but right now, if I played them, I've got nothing waiting in the wings ...

bite the bullet and buy a ps4 my man
― Nhex, Thursday, 24 May 2018 23:03 (five years ago) link
I got the new Zelda on preorder but haven't had time to spend with it until this week
it's fucking amazing and I know of nothing of ps4 that compares

Josh I don't think you realize how much time both of those games can take... doesn't matter much what's waiting in the wings when you're living in the Zelda universe or collecting endless moons.

pretty low, the 3DS one was a pet project of sakurai, the smash guy, who presumably has been busy with new smash for the past while
― ciderpress, Friday, 25 May 2018 03:02 (five years ago) link
If your other concern is that there's not enough Switch games to play, maybe spend 6-8 months playing Zelda, then there'll be new games out?
― Chuck_Tatum, Friday, 25 May 2018 09:36 (five years ago) link
This thread is basically the Infinity War of people trying to convince Josh that maybe Nintendo is a company that knows what it's doing.

sushi striker demo is worth checking out if you like this sort of color matching puzzle game. it's quite different from a match-3 game mechanically and the production values are high for the genre - fully voiced Saturday morning cartoon style cutscenes and the like. very cute/funny. it's definitely a touchscreen game though, the joycon controls feel like an afterthought/handicap.
― ciderpress, Friday, 25 May 2018 12:13 (five years ago) link
Because I am familiar with the worlds of Mario and Zelda (even if I haven't played these specific games) I'm not quite ready to spend months on them. I wanted something different ... like Dark Souls, dammit! But Doom is pretty different, that'll keep me going, especially because I'm slow. (Though the slowdowns in that game, even post patch, are maddening and, at times, game-breaking.)
― Josh in Chicago, Friday, 25 May 2018 12:45 (five years ago) link
yeah I played the Sushi Striker demo last night too. Agree that it is better on the touchscreen. The anime is real delightful though and I'm glad they brought it onto the Switch (it was first announced as a 3DS title, now it'll be both). Not sure if I'll pick it up, but it does make all kinds of real great puzzle game sounds.
― valorous wokelord (silby), Friday, 25 May 2018 15:02 (five years ago) link
it's going in my 'pick up in the future if i somehow exhaust my backlog' pile alongside bayo 2

Mario Tennis demo next weekend. def going to try that out
― Hazy Maze Cave (Adam Bruneau), Friday, 25 May 2018 15:08 (five years ago) link
I keep forgetting about Bayonetta 2! Hopefully it'll go down in price before disappearing altogether.
― Nhex, Friday, 25 May 2018 19:08 (five years ago) link
Nintendo actually ran an eShop sale on ARMS earlier this year so they might someday again put a first party retail title on discount.

yoku's island express is out today, a game that I've had my eye on for a while. hoping it's good. will report back later in the week.
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 29 May 2018 14:04 (five years ago) link
also it sounds like the big pokemon announcement is happening this week
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 29 May 2018 14:15 (five years ago) link
apparently pokemon's getting revealed via a private media event in japan tonight with public info to follow
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 30 May 2018 00:33 (five years ago) link
also yoku's island express is very good based on the first couple hours - if you were at all interested in the concept it's a no-brainer

anyone playing pokemon quest ?

I guess I'm wrong for thinking Pokemon is for grade schoolers? To paraphrase someone else, I'm old enough to have missed out on Pokemon twice. The only people I've seen playing it have been young kids.
― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 31 May 2018 19:32 (five years ago) link
Josh I think you might suck at Nintendo
― El Tomboto, Thursday, 31 May 2018 19:36 (five years ago) link
I think you might be right! I mean, I'm 43 and was there at the start, but missed many of the subsequent iterations and iconic games I guess.
