Pro controller is ace.

this is a pretty neat thing visually, cant find much info about it but seems to be a switch game from a brazilian dev

Wondering if other games might start supporting the GameCube controller post-Smash, since the Wii U adapter already works supposedly
Want to get the Pro contrller but that's a lot of $krilla, maybe i'd be better off buying a second pair of joycons

It works already. It just maps as a generic controller. Some control schemes will be wonky bc of the button layout, and the game can’t detect that it’s a GameCube controller, but Towerfall lets you hold down a button to indicate you’re using a GameCube controller and it swaps jump and shoot for you.

do games not already support it as a generic controller?
it doesn't have a left shoulder bumper and the c-stick is not analog iirc, so games that use L and/or right stick won't be able to use it
― ciderpress, Sunday, 14 October 2018 17:34 (five years ago) link
you can also use a dualshock 4 on switch with an adapter but i'm not sure if the gyro will map
― ciderpress, Sunday, 14 October 2018 17:38 (five years ago) link
oh! that's good to know!i still feel weird about using not-the-official controller for video game systems anyway tbh

any recommendations for switch games for kids (8 and 4) who don't have much experience with console gaming? particularly indie games? i'm going to get super mario odyssey eventually. my older daughter wants splatoon because she likes the manga but i am skeptical that she'll be able to deal with the controls without getting frustrated, plus it seems like multiplayer is the main point there.

splatoon is so simple but also frustrating. Rocket League seems like a winner. My 3 year old loves to truck around in open practice mode.

Holy crap the luncheon level on SMO is frustrating
But great obviouslty

Most folks playing multiplayer Splatoon are at the level of your 8yo tbf - it’s fun!

Me and my kids thought we'd gotten pretty good at Mario Tennis (finished adventure mode, etc.) until we went online last week and got completely destroyed. Oof.
― DJI, Tuesday, 16 October 2018 23:25 (five years ago) link
yeah that game is cutthroat online, was too much for me
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 17 October 2018 00:33 (five years ago) link
Thanks to having 4 player teams and crazy weapon options, Splatoon never feels punitive. Any loss can be dealt with by choosing a different weapon or joining a better team. My kid likes finding glitches that let her jump on top of un-inkable space

valkyria chronicles 1 just appeared on the eshop for 20 bucks, that's going directly into my $20-and-under recommendations list
― ciderpress, Thursday, 18 October 2018 03:42 (five years ago) link
I got the Hori d-pad joycon and recommend the hell out of it. Too bad it’s missing HD Rumble but if you play 2d stuff it’s a worthwhile trade off.Also fuck I love Dead Cells.
― The Troops™ (jamescobo), Sunday, 21 October 2018 02:24 (five years ago) link
are we all gonna be gettin' Super Smash Bros. Ultimate? Maybe a good game to try to get some ILG online play going for when it comes out?
Only 6 and a half weeks!
― I have measured out my life in coffee shop loyalty cards (silby), Monday, 22 October 2018 23:20 (five years ago) link
yeah i still haven't started up my online service subscription but that'll be when i do it
hope the smash online play is decent, never a sure thing with fighting games especially on a system where almost everyone is on wifi
― ciderpress, Monday, 22 October 2018 23:26 (five years ago) link
Smash will always be better on the couch but my sister and I will both have this one so probably (hopefully) we'll at least play against each other somewhat regularly
― I have measured out my life in coffee shop loyalty cards (silby), Monday, 22 October 2018 23:35 (five years ago) link
i'm hoping character unlocking is quick enough that i can have them all ready to go before the holidays when my old high school smash buds are in town

aww <3

was also tempted by the new mario party for the same reason but i think mario party 2 was really just lightning in a bottle none of the other old ones ever got played much
― ciderpress, Monday, 22 October 2018 23:41 (five years ago) link
The new one is bad tbqph

really? the reviews were pretty solid
― Nhex, Tuesday, 23 October 2018 06:32 (five years ago) link
i liked it, but it's a bit short as it's 20 turns max
super stoked for smash bros
― nxd, Tuesday, 23 October 2018 08:22 (five years ago) link
its shortish due to the turn limit, but turns out thats exactly right for groups of usually non game players. we had a great time with it particular the hilarious rhythm game concert spin off bit.
― Hmmmmm (jamiesummerz), Tuesday, 23 October 2018 08:47 (five years ago) link
playing mario party, cpt toad & inside atm, the plan is smash bros for all of december then hopefully untitled goose game early 2019 :)
― nxd, Tuesday, 23 October 2018 09:15 (five years ago) link
wrt Super Mario Party, there are very few play boards and the dice rolling mechanism is slowed down enough to make turns feel like they're lasting twice as long as previous Mario Partys I've played (all N64, never played any since). The concert game is amazing though

Inside is on sale, and VERY GOOD, as mentioned above

Yoku’s Island Express is on sale rn and it is extremely fun

Tune in 11/1 for roughly 40 minutes of new information in the final Super #SmashBrosUltimate #NintendoDirect before the game’s release, hosted by Director Masahiro Sakurai! The Direct will be followed by a post-show Nintendo Treehouse: Live presentation. https://t.co/Y00RdNrBth pic.twitter.com/JSuSUtGk6e— Nintendo of America (@NintendoAmerica) October 30, 2018

presumably revealing the rest of the roster + the story mode or whatever
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 30 October 2018 14:05 (five years ago) link
Yeah and online modes. Stoked for the madness.
― I have measured out my life in coffee shop loyalty cards (silby), Tuesday, 30 October 2018 14:45 (five years ago) link
also the treehouse presentation afterwards will be showing other games incl. Yoshi

Is this going to be another 20 minutes just listing Smash characters?
― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 30 October 2018 15:11 (five years ago) link
No it’s going to be another 40 minutes listing Smash characters

I’m so incredibly cursed by my desire for this game

it's going to take like a month just to audition every character to figure out who's in my crew this time, the roster is approaching dota/LoL size
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 30 October 2018 18:18 (five years ago) link
if you play the squad strike mode you can have a team of all fire emblems

after 2 weeks splatoon has taken over my life and is fantastic
― for i, sock in enumerate (Sufjan Grafton), Tuesday, 30 October 2018 18:33 (five years ago) link
it's so good, i burned out for a while but would like to revisit at some point and actually try the 1p campaign and dlc campaign
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 30 October 2018 18:35 (five years ago) link
it took like 20 hours of play before the gyro controls & squid movement really clicked for me but after that i felt like a god
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 30 October 2018 18:37 (five years ago) link
there's also like...10 new maps and 20 new weapon sets since i last played, yikes
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 30 October 2018 18:38 (five years ago) link
need to poll primary/secondary/special sets

it's crazy how just flipping one of these can end a hot streak and make you shit all over again
regular blaster 4 life imo

luna blaster is fun too but it sucks ass if your team isn't controlling the map
