The Nintendo Switch

"hello I am Britney, I am 21F, I'm really bored and looking to talk to ppl."

I was looking at a Playstation thread and saw some funny stuff with people interacting with sex bots. Don't know if this works, but it was funny:

Yoshi’s Artisanal World

I’m mildly ecstatic that I will get to finally replay and (this time I promise) finish FF XII in HD

And the possibility that my kid might learn how to kick ass at Ice Climber without having to break the law, this is important to me in ways most people will never understand

is balloon fight deep enough for it's own thread?

hell yes it is

I have not played a single mainline final fantasy! 12 interests me most, I wanna do that much-derided programmable autobattle system

the gambit system is the best battle system in all FF games that are not FF Tactics games

It really is excellent. Yasumi Matsuno.

Is Undertale worth it? I know next to nothing about it except people are really cagey about spoilers.

it's really good but being a subversion of jrpgs you wont necessarily get a lot out of it if you're not familiar with the genre

JRPG is Japanese roll playing game right? It's not about school girl underwear is it?

like most game genres, female JRPG characters often fight in a combination of underwear and corsets, and heroes are perpetually 15-17 years old

undertale is mostly playing off 8bit/16bit era ones so before we got to that point

if you're familiar with earthbound the tone is pretty similar

I forgot a key point about Undertale when I unreservedly recommended it to my mom: it is actually a top-down schmup

now you have my attention

is it possibly to beat the entire game passively?

yes on your 2nd playthrough. after you beat the game normally it challenges you to do that

hope this is good i could use a good marble game

any of you other doofuses donate $20 to Nintendo because you didn't think about the difference between the year of online service and the year of family online service

i'll just begrudgingly pay my $20 but waiting until the next time i feel like playing something online which could be anytime between now and December

I don't really have any online play interest on switch yet but I'm sorta tempted to subscribe for the NES games & then I can teach my son about Bo Jackson in Tecmo Bowl

none of the NES games are big enough selling points to me, just a minor bonus. I've played the good ones plenty already and don't really have nostalgia for that generation of games. i just want to play fighting games online sometimes and insure my stardew valley save file

when they finally get to SNES games that will make it all feel more worthwhile

kinda happy that the NES games are just a bunch of roms in an emulator, means they can add them quicker than their old way of building a custom emulator for each game. Not many that I'm interested in playing so far but Adventures Of Lolo is coming soon, love that series.
I've fallen down the Monster Hunter hole again, Switch version is like my platonic ideal of the "old style" of MH.

i'll pay by the time smash comes out
oh wait, i have mario kart which means i'll probably spring soon

I have a 7 year old and Splatoon 2 so it was basically mandatory that I cough it up on day 1, hence the fuckup and paying 36% more than I should have

get another switch, problem solved

i immediately bought this because i have never finished mario 3 and i can’t think of a more appealing box to play mario 3 on. that said i wish the emulation was less barebones: i want scanlines and bloom, it looks way too clean.

i thought there was a scanline filter i dont have it yet so i dont know how but i saw people talking about it

i just want to play ice hockey once more

My wishlist is comprised of Bionic Commando and River City Ransom - I assume Metroid, Zelda, and Castlevania II are all but assured

Bionic Commando was so fun!

i thought there was a scanline filter i dont have it yet so i dont know how but i saw people talking about it

you're right! man i am an idiot

megaman has a better one though

isn't river city ransom already on there?

Dead Cells: I beat the Hand Of The King, twice. Then I beat him on hard mode, twice. Then I got my ass handed to me on Very Hard mode.

My tactic-- it's basically one that has been outlined elsewhere-- always upgrade Survivability. Otherwise, upgrade highest HP gains. Emphasize damage reducing items-- good amulet, and a shield (even if you don't use it, it reduces damage passively). Take YOLO and Tough Nut, then either Efficiency (if it's good accessories) or Ammo (if it's bows). Ideal accessory combo is Wolf Trap and Crusher (both green). Hope for good legendaries. Ideal weapon is a legendary Infantry Bow, which has come up fairly often. I have won with Legendary Hayabusa Gloves and Legendary Pyromancy, also. Make sure accessories and primary weapon have comorbid modifiers-- have them all do major burning or major frozen or major poison or major bleeding. My secondary weapon is always an Ice Bow or a shield-- almost never anything else.

Rush through Level 1, killing next to nobody, rolling rolling rolling, and get two upgrades and the major chest and at least one accessory. Make it to the timed door on Promenade. Rush through again, only stopping for scrolls, treasure side-tracks, starred enemies and any elites. Make it to the timed door on Ramparts. Run run run, get everything on the level, only stop to kill the swarming flying shitbirds. I can kill The Concierge with practically anything-- do it before 15 minutes, but this is the "soft" deadline-- the important deadline is the Stilt Village timed door. Take a little more time on Stilt Village, kill a few things, don't get swarmed by warping worms-- the timed door on Sepulcher is fairly easy to make, if you have made the Stilt Village timed door. Once you make the Sepulcher timed door, slow down and start killing things, kill everything. Upgrade only the items you think you'll keep to the end. If all goes well, you'll have somewhere between 15-20 Survivability going into the Castle, a great (fast) primary weapon, and a great combo of accessories (again: Crusher is essential, Wolf Trap extremely useful, maybe Death Orb-- sometimes I get Corrupted Power or similar just for damage reduction).

Final boss with Tough Nut is still very tough, but doable. By the fifth or tenth failed attempt you'll start to get his patterns.

Ace attorney stuff turned out to just be HD version of 1-3 better than nothing i guess, i haven't played 2 or 3

mario 3: pretty good

mario 3: pretty good

the challops thread is over there >>>>

persona 5 and dragon quest xi have revived my interest in console gaming for the first time since the era of like gta vice city and ffix, so i have no idea what's going on anymore. why is everyone in the twitter thread on that KOEI announcement flipping out about digital only?

a lot of people like buying physical copies of games, especially JRPG fans.

this is just a rerelease/port of 3 extremely niche ps3 games though so it doesn't really make sense for them to manufacture/distribute since only like 1000 people are going to buy it regardless of format

there's a couple publishers whose entire business is producing small print run physical editions of indie games for the insane collector types who refuse to buy a digital game for $20 but will buy a hard copy for $40

bizarre, gamers are the worst

physical copies still serve an important purpose in a world where AAA games are pushing the 50gb bluray capacity and broadband internet isn't accessible to everyone, also they obv allow for a secondary market which is big in some parts of the world. people also have concerns about digital storefronts eventually shutting down and their game collections going away with them which is certainly a problem but i'm optimistic that preservation efforts will outpace that.

i mainly buy digital these days when i can primarily because i'm too lazy to changes discs or cartridges when i want to play something else

i'm doing a mix currently based on sales and whether i anticipate wanting to lend out or trade in the game at some point

i'll take pretty much any opportunity not to have more crap in my house

that's where i was at last year but i just moved into a much bigger apartment and have space to fill now

still, switch is the only device i plan to buy any physical software for ever again
