I’m hyped for that ^

The direct as a whole was pretty good although there’s a lot I don’t care about but I’m excited for mario maker 2

[close]

Mario Maker ended up being my favorite thing about the Wii-U, so I’m really excited to see a follow up that’s not just a port. Also excited for the Link’s Awakening remake. Zelda is my favorite game franchise, but I missed this one as a kid.


And on the subject of Zelda, if you own a Switch, you simply must get Breath Of The Wild. Playing for the first time truly enamored me in a way I haven’t felt since I was a kid. I genuinely feel like it’s one of gaming’s finest triumphs in a very, very long time.

i spent about 80 hours on zelda breath of the wild when it first dropped, its just simply amazing, and the DLC for it was actually good, it isnt easy to finish ill put it that way.

also that tetris 99 game is sooo good, im a big tetris/puyo puyo guy and played for a while last night with no noticeable lag.

i think im going to download final fantasy 9 tonight and call out of work tomorrow.

I've been playing FFIX and I'm about 8 hours in. Absolutely love it.

I've never played it before and it's quickly jumped to the top of my Final Fantasy list.

Also: that direct was solid IMO.

Really excited for Dragon Quest XI. I own it for PS4 but have been hesitant to get into it knowing that it's been released on the switch.

Dragon Quest Builders 2 is going to be amazing.

I'm also really into that JRPG that was giving off Nier Automata vibes - should be interesting so long as the price tag is reasonable.

Earthbound/mother series is my favorite hands down for rpg, anyone else hear They were supposed to localize mother 3 for switch and they canned the project because of controversial content that in 2019 wouldn’t fly in America. I have that game and didn’t come across anything fucked up or offensive.

That game's been in my backlog forever now but I've never got around to playing it. I've heard similar stuff through the grapevine but I'm not convinced is was every planned to be localized.

That would be giving the customers what they ask for and that really isn't Nintendo's style.

It would be sick though and would sell like hotcakes.

I went to GameStop yesterday and traded in Mario Odyssey and Super Smash for Doom. I'm stoked. I'm sure I'll buy super smash again at some point but games like Doom and Resident evil are more my style. I'm about to download Outlast: Bundle of terror and Resident evil: Revelations 2. Also, I played Fortnite for the first time last night and was killed within 10 seconds. I don't know how I feel about that game.

 I'm on the fence about whether to buy Zelda. Everyone says it's the best game but I didn't like Mario Odyssey at all so I don't think I'll like Zelda.

Has anyone played Bayonetta 2, Skyrim or Batman the telltale series?

if youre on the fence for zelda, you probably should return your switch and go get a playstation.

[winecrab]

Yeah, I knew someone would say that. I bought the switch because I'm always traveling. I don't play enough to invest in a PS4. I've owned every single system up until the PS3/xbox 360. I still have my Nintendo Virtual Boy, Gameboys, Sega gamegear, Dreamcast, snes, nes etc in storage. I'm just trying to get back into it and figure out what kind of games I like now that I'm older. I'm buying Zelda tomorrow and I'll have a week to return it if anything. Are there any highly anticipated games coming out this year? One last question:

Is Nintendo planning on changing the online service so that you can play against random people?

[Carrolls Chesthairs]

Tetris 99 is free to download

[Classy Durag]

Tetris 99 is free to download

This game is the best... been playing it for 2 days now the best I’ve done is 3rd place. Super addicting

[Seadramon]

Couldn’t resist picking one of these up

Same, one of the few Amibos that got me stoked.

[Seadramon]

Did you end up downloading FFIX feedmeseymour?

[feedmeseymour]

Did you end up downloading FFIX feedmeseymour?

Yessir, they cleaned it up really nicely, like the backdrop artwork is smoothed out a bit and the colors pop alittle more, so far it’s sick, first time playing it.

More excited for ff7 to come out to be honest but this game is pretty great

[puff daddy]

ive been going back and forth between hollow knight, mario bros deluxe, and tetris 99 lately
hollow knight just makes me want a 2d metroid on switch just port the gba games or some shit, also that shit is so hard. im about 5 hours into hk
i never played the wii u version of mario deluxe so its a new game to me its so much fun with friends just 4 assholes jumping around and throwin shit at each other its fucking chaos, and the luigi u thing is really cool its a buncha new shorter levels that only have 100 seconds to clear, i always love to go thru mario levels as fast as i can so im loving that shit
best ive got on 99 is 8

At first I thought the decision to update only the character sprites really aged the backdrops terribly. But then the whole thing grew on me.

I absolutely love the updates like fast forward and turning off the random encounters - that stuff is a godsend when revisiting these older RPGs.

I'm excited to give FFVII a whirl too. I don't see myself enjoying it as much as IX and am not convinced it will live up to the hype but am excited none the less.

Oh man, I’m a ff7 guy and took a chance with this one. The backgrounds are deff cleaned up but I know what you mean, and it grew on me.

The hype for ff7 is real.

Also got 2nd in Tetris 99. I got lucky, but not lucky enough haha

for 20 bucks id say its completely fine not great not terrible only get it if u actually plan on playing games online it doesnt offer as much as xbox or sony’s online services but its also way cheaper

[feedmeseymour]

Finally got a win. Im hyped even though it took forever.

Congrats on the win! I've been placing higher lately.

[camel filters]

Charging anything for online service is like paying for permission to use internet that you already pay for. Glad I switched to PC gaming.

if any of you have Amazon Prime it means you have Twitch Prime which now comes with a free year of Nintendo Switch Online

apparently the "cheaper" and "enhanced" versions of the switch that seymour mentioned before will be presented at E3 in June

[feedmeseymour]

new switch announced today.



thoughts?

Not buying it.

I'm coming across the issue where my right joystick is on a downward tilt.
Worst thing ever.

 EDIT Fixed the sticks by putting contact cleaner under the thumb piece.

Anybody else come across this?

I've also found a way to avoid paying tax in the e-shop; Set your location to anywhere in Delaware.

i had the same issue, there's actually a widespread drift problem with the joy-con's sticks (i think a class action law suit against nintendo is happening even). the solution for me was to buy a replacement stick on amazon for $6 and install it.
 
the first thing i thought about when i saw the new switch model with the controls built in is how much more fucked the average person who wont repair their electronics will be when the joysticks fail in a year and half since now they cant just buy new joycons to fix the problem.

Bout fucking time



Now all I want is a good online party chat with friends

[radcunt]

Yeah their chat service is dogshit. Online snes multi is sick though. There’s endless free chat software these days I guess
