The Nintendo Switch

i quite enjoyed tux and fanny. it's simple but has lots of fun tangents and minigames, as well as absurdist humor that reminded me of frog fractions.

Maybe Kirby is what I need to actually like the Switch?

Today's top trend is Sword.
It's the most popular ability in the world right now!

sword, hell yeah love it

at 40s they do a sped up bridge from "Your Gold Teeth"

Kirby is a bit like steely dan, sucking in chillys, gordos, etc. (session musicians) to steal their essence while remaining kirby (steely dan)

xp lol yes i noticed that, kirby must have the ability to absorb donald fagen in this game

dumb luck, my friend, won't suck me in this time

lol they had to put in some goddamn fishing

after that supreme court case, i think game developers figure better safe than sorry

Ocarina of Time beaten in under 4 minutes although I have no clue what was going on

smash brothers brawl version too, limited to 5 mins max as a demo
so cool

i had to click through to youtube to figure out that that was a speedrun of the demo and not the full game, lol

I never heard of that demo before but the world record of the full game is 6:49 min

i love how totally disconnected it is from anything to do with the game some weird realm

Best way to sum it up is Link just becomes Neo in that scene where the bullets stop and he sees everything in code.

the part where the fish gets placed on the ground, and then they jump into some pit 3 layers down, i lost it

its a shamanistic style of play

a hero appears from a demo. they lay down bombs, turn around to face the direction they came from, and blow themselves backward through the secret zones in a maze forest. they lay down a fish and jump down into a pit

I nominate that guy's room for r/malelivingspace.

they/them

they truly are a wizard, that was crazy

Let’s goooooooo

gimmie da zelda

Gonna be all Labo.

it's cardboard ocarinas the whole way down

chrono cross!!!!!

kirby eats a car and turns into a car

not a fan of the octopath style being used on every jrpg remake but live a live is genuinely a better octopath than octopath

yes finally xenoblade 3 im so happy

3d kirby and xenoblade 3 and more splatoon this is gonna be the best year for switch since the launch year even if zelda doesnt make it

I love the octopath style so give me all of them
Front Mission remakes was a surprise, also SD Gundam wtf

the combat in xenoblade 1 left me cold - is it any different in the sequel?

they added some more layers to it but its still fundamentally the same mmo-esque system with autoattacks and cooldowns

i think i am fairly alone on this board in my love for xenoblade 2. it's a very messy game but entirely in ways i like

Cool about Portal (loved both but didn’t finish either). What’s earthbound?

seminal SNES jrpg, big influence on tons of stuff (moreso for its tone and writing style than its gameplay which is basically just dragon quest with some tweaks)

This is the good stuff!

they correctly identified that they don't need to make a new mario kart when they can just double the number of tracks in the current one instead

xxxp no I love Xenoblade 2 as well, a mess yes but a glorious one. The battle systems in Xeno games tend to take a long time to ramp up though, they’ll be adding in layers of systems like 20+ hours in, it’s all part of the madness.

i love the grotesque "mouth mode" kirby stuff

So basically nothing to look forward to except Cuphead content and (I guess?) Portal.

Kirby wearing a skin car was some Patrick Bateman shit

its mouth mode time baby

"dad, can we play Kingdom Hearts Integrum Masterpiece for Cloud after dinner?"

what does "YOU will repay my loyalty...IN DEATH!!!" mean?!

yeah i had a full on body horror reaction to the Car Mouth animation

Trials of mana a few years ago and now Live a live. Those are games i thought were never going to get released outside of japan.

Chrono cross looks like an upscale on an emulator. That game has major problems and needs more improvements.

i thought there was going to be a surprise mother 3 announcement but alas

very excited that i've already paid for 48 new mario kart tracks
