Yeah, that first boss is an asshole. I thought I had him on my third try, but he kicked my ass again. Sucks that you can't skip all the dialog before the battle. Shit like that in modern games drives me crazy.

Still holding up buying the Switch. My 3DS has plenty of life left in it, and a huge backlog of games.
Besides early games are usually very cheap when buying afterwards. And i don't get that excited by the Neo Geo roms although the Mario Odyssey looks very tempting.

My 3ds came out of my bedside table drawer to travel with me again. I picked up the new metric, and can't wait to play it. One of my favorite series, I love the feel of the gba games.

I actually remember lots of and loved the game boy original. Specific road trip I played through it on, and later played through it with the super game boy, so I am really excited to see if I get reminiscence from it. Zero mission was fantastic in how it felt similar to the original, but was fresh and exciting to play through.

Anyone pick up the new mario? I saw Joe streaming last night. From what I've seen, it looks really fun. Whats your thoughts? 

It looks like a game I would actually consider buying a switch to play. I thought Zelda was going to be that game until I saw the destructible weapon aspect, and how quickly they degrade. I hate that shit.

Same here, I'm still waiting on the Switch myself.  Have the Wii U so I've been able to play Breath of the Wild as well and that was like the only real draw to me except maybe now Mario.

How is this causing a divid?

It's inventive, whimsical, charming, creative, and customizable. Everything a kid from 6/8? To even an adult would enjoy as a way to foster learning and fun.

Oh. So basically the people who feel they are too old/cool to be imaginative are the detractors.

If it was a lot cheaper, it would be better received. But $70 is definitely steep with just a couple simple apps included. The robot game looks okay though

Does anybody remember the old joke how if Nintendo sold a cardboard box with it's name on it, then people would buy it? This is actually happening.

LostFlunky

Labo is cool looking, but I can just imagine how many "unpunched" packages there will be for sale in 15 years...

Honestly it just seems like spending way too much money on a raspberry pi learning kit.

which to be fair is what the NES and SNES minis were, soooooooo....

Quote from: guest on 08/29/2017, 08:36 PMCave Story was really great on the Switch. So many choices for soundtracks and it controlled really well. Plus it's getting (or already has gotten) updates for 2p mode and a few other things. Though, I'm still stuck on the final boss.
I've been stuck on the final boss in the original Cave Story on my Wii for nearly eight years! He's a bastard and the devs should've dialed the difficulty back on him some.
Same to me waaaay back with the PC version. That final boss is a bitch. Difficulty-wise, it is out of place compared to the rest of the game, which is why it harms the overall experience.
I also played the alternate route (where you do not pick up a certain item, to alter the story), still no luck.

That Labo thing is kinda neat, like Lego Mindstorm stuff but made out of comparatively fragile and hard to work with cardboard.

Yeah I think I may just restart the game and play it all over again to try to get some better powerups. It'll be a good in between game.




Also, the Nintendo Labo thing is pretty cool for kids. I've seen it being discussed in terms of STEAM learning in schools potentially. That would be great if that's what it actually does.

Love seeing adults get butthurt about Nintendo cardboard not marketed for them, though.

Digi how did you like XBC2? I stopped playing after getting to the second main area where you get the husky dude in your party, thanks Breath of the Wild - I can't quit playing it danmit! I want to go back to XBC2, but that Zelda brought me back in with the DLC damnit! Hoping XBC2 gets some patches to smooth out the rough patches while I am distracted by other games :P

Played the demo for Dragon Quest Builders on the Switch, loved it preordered it. Anyone else try it out yet? I think its waaaaaaaaaaaay better than Minecrap.

yup DQB is more my thing I pre ordered it too.

Quote from: Gredler on 01/18/2018, 09:39 PMDigi how did you like XBC2?
Xeno Chron 2 feels a mess.  I almost traded it in several times after encountering a lot of frustrating moments during gameplay which left me switching off the machine but in the end I still put in over 180 hours into it.  I really like the character cast towards the end (although some make me cringe)  and I love love the music in this game. This the first Xeno game on the Nintendo systems I actually played till the end.  Now I can definitely trade it in.

IMG

I think if it wasn't for these characters Nia and Morag I would probably have gotten bored of Xen Chron 2


In the end I actually wanted to fight more mech enemies

I have DQB on PS4 - I might do my first in a long time sell/trade to try to get DQB on Switch, I love that game.

And yeah, even 30 hours in I've switched away from XBC2 a twice, and this second time haven't gone back yet but plan to. I agree, it's the hottest mess of the Chronicles Xeno titles so far, but it's still somehow appealing and calling me back

wildfruit

My axiom verge I preordered back in August is finally being shipped next week. Dunno wether to swap it for dragon quest builders instead tho. I showed my 10yo the labo stuff. He seems interested and it's released day before his birthday. Ideal.

Mario and Rabbids...  Get it now.  Totally blew away my expectations.  And the music is top notch from Grant Kirkhope.

I need to give Xeno Chromicals 2 another go.  I didn't get too deep into it, just a little beyond where you get Pyra.  I remember the combat system was a bit confusing.

The trouble that I have with this game and Breath of the Wild is that I'll get 4-5 hours into it, then work and family stuff picks up and I can't get back to it for 3-4 weeks before I can pick it up again.  At that point I've either forgotten where I am at or special attack moves that are essensial to progressing.

I'm stuck in the same boat with Y's 8 on the vita...

BlueBMW

Mario and Rabbids is very incremental like that.  You can play for a few hours, leave it a while and go back pretty easily.

If they started with the same Sega Ages collection from the Saturn, then I would double dip.

What Sega really needs to start doing is re-releasing Saturn games.  Maybe with some updates graphics, maybe not, but there are too many gems too few people have played.

Was just reading a bit about the Gal*Gun 2 endings and found this link for a free replacement cover for the Switch version of the game: http://pqube.co.uk/galgun2/replacement-cover/ I didn't notice but the inside of the sleeve is actually the same as the Switch Wild Guns Reloaded release.

Basically all of the games are Neo Geo shooters I already owned elsewhere and they are not released physically.  That's why I guess I didn't consider all the shooters on the system, cause I would pass on these.


Also, too bad it isn't Monster Hunter World.  The changes made to the game obviously paid off for Capcom, now they are going backwards.

Medic_wheat

Speaking of physical switch games. I recently picked up a few games.

But I am seeing a trend for Nintendo America of not providing a physical release or a half physical half digital release of a game that's offered in Japan (maybe PAL) gets a full blown physical release. 

Does anyone have a list of switch games that have a physical release not offered in Na?

The most i give credit to that the switch has been getting lot's of pysikyo shooters.Past shooters by them have been split up among many console,plus been very pricey.Such is the case for zero gunner 2 and dragons blaze being the most expensive ones.Yeah,monster hunter generations is just the ultimate edition of the game but it's the more modern one at least.When capcom was making MHW it was before the switch was even announce.That was game was made in mind for the PS4,Xbox-One and the up and coming PC port.

Play a ton of 3DS and somehow this flew under my radar.  Since the Switch game is actually $5 cheaper than the 3DS, I will have to check it out once released.
