Picked up Rabbids on sale for 15 bucks. Thought I might not like it at all, but I'm currently really enjoying it. Definitely worth the $15.

Dating a new girl who introduced me to Unravel Two, which was great fun. We just reached all the bonus levels. Platforming feels good and clean, though there are moments of jank. Play provided a ton of laughs, and skill gaps between players are remedied with the ability to pull each other up to platforms if one person succeeds and the other gets tired of trying. We tried some of the hardest bonus levels and couldn't get near solving them. I think we'll continue to put time into them.

rabbids shouldn't be as good as it is but it's very solid.

Rabbids is underrated, would love a Splatoon themed version of it

I def want Splatoon Tactics in some form

i played about 5 hours into rabbids, but was started to get a little bored, like that i was still on the tutorial, almost. and the power-ups / skill progression seemed really railroaded.

i'm not looking for it to be a super advanced tactics sim or anything, but does it ever open up a bit or get more complex?

like that i was still on the tutorial, almost.

by this i don't mean that it was super easy (although it wasn't hard), more that it felt like i was still being introduced to major concepts of the game that far in

Karl Malone, Sunday, 29 March 2020 21:30 (four years ago) link

It does eventually at least start requiring making right decisions rather than wrong ones to win missions.

silby, Sunday, 29 March 2020 21:31 (four years ago) link

nice! i'll probably jump in at some point, if/when the animal crossing obsession rubs off. i am 100% ACNH right now

Karl Malone, Sunday, 29 March 2020 21:39 (four years ago) link

Have spent the past couple of hours playing co-op Good Job! and haven't laughed so hard at anything for a long time.

i would love to play galaxies on switch plz plz

Mordy, Monday, 30 March 2020 17:04 (four years ago) link

same, ive never played them other than the first couple hours of 1

ciderpress, Monday, 30 March 2020 17:14 (four years ago) link

maybe more than a couple hours actually but i dont think i got more than halfway

ciderpress, Monday, 30 March 2020 17:15 (four years ago) link

while i'm making a wishlist can i get frostpunk + disco elysium on switch too

Mordy, Monday, 30 March 2020 17:15 (four years ago) link

i'm still waiting on pyre

ciderpress, Monday, 30 March 2020 17:25 (four years ago) link

are any of their games on the switch? they all seem like perfect games for it. bastion and transistor too

Mordy, Monday, 30 March 2020 17:27 (four years ago) link

it's such an amazing device for indie games i hope it becomes fashionable for most of them to come out on it i'd pretty much rather play any indie game on switch than pc or ps4.

yikes sorry 4 doublepost

Mordy, Monday, 30 March 2020 17:28 (four years ago) link

they put bastion and transistor on already a while ago which is why ive been holding out on playing pyre elsewhere but theres no sign of it

ciderpress, Monday, 30 March 2020 17:34 (four years ago) link

i think the majority of indie games are made with switch in mind now anyway, the stuff you posted about are just very PC-ey genres that need a second UI/controls pass to work on consoles which indie studios can't always afford to do until they have some revenue from the pc version

ciderpress, Monday, 30 March 2020 17:36 (four years ago) link

frostpunk did get a ps4 release and i think disco elysium is slated for the same. i wonder how much work it is to port them to switch after ps4 assuming the UI/controls stuff is probably mostly worked out. graphics stuff i'd guess?

Mordy, Monday, 30 March 2020 17:43 (four years ago) link

porting to a lower spec platform involves a lot of QA work i'd think

ciderpress, Monday, 30 March 2020 17:45 (four years ago) link

For Switch you'd have to be concerned about performance on portable vs. docked as well, text sizes.

Nhex, Monday, 30 March 2020 20:23 (four years ago) link

i wish to play the marios

Hoping these are, as one source I've read suggested, a collection rather than separate releases.

I'd happily pay £50 or whatever for a cartridge that had Mario 64, Galaxy & Sunshine on but would balk at having to pay that for each individual one

groovypanda, Tuesday, 31 March 2020 07:22 (four years ago) link

feel like Nintendo hasn't been that generous since the GameCube days (I treasure my Legend of Zelda collection disc like Gollum)

Nhex, Tuesday, 31 March 2020 07:33 (four years ago) link

Pinning my hopes on this:

For the remasters, our source is telling us that Nintendo is pursuing something like a Super Mario All-Stars 2 for the 3D Mario games. This would include Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine, and then Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2. It’s likely that 3D World may get its own, separate Deluxe-style release. While it’s possible the older 3D Mario games could come in a single compilation, it’s also likely that Nintendo will release them individually as it did with its Zelda remasters.

groovypanda, Tuesday, 31 March 2020 07:41 (four years ago) link

I skipped the Wii/U gens entirely so I definitely want those Galaxy remasters. Also re-port Twilight Princess plz

Nhex, Tuesday, 31 March 2020 08:06 (four years ago) link

fwiw that eurogamer reporter has reported on switch stuff that never emerged a few times before

unironically psyched to pay all over again for games i already own, that's the nintendo magic right there

Nintendo Switch (DC)

I recently bought a Nintendo Switch. I just want to get rid of it because I’m spending too much time on it and not enough time focused on my girlfriend.

Please text me only and we can figure out a way for you to pick it up while still social distancing.

Any smash players try the ethernet adapter? WiFi lag is pretty rough, but it might be the rest of the network.

DJI, Thursday, 2 April 2020 01:11 (four years ago) link

i have one and it makes a pretty big difference, the switch's wifi chip is ass

ciderpress, Thursday, 2 April 2020 01:24 (four years ago) link

you can use pretty much any usb to ethernet adapter on the market, you dont need an official one

ciderpress, Thursday, 2 April 2020 01:25 (four years ago) link

Thx! I’ll try one. They are like $10.
