The Nintendo Switch

boi is a v special game tbf

all the good zelda-adjacent games arent on here yet, unless Ys 8 counts but that's almost closer to a character action game than a zelda with how much dodging/parrying you have to do

i dont think it has a physical version but have you played hyper light drifter?

I have not!

its a good one also keep an eye out for crosscode if it comes to switch at some point

details of the leaked direct sound unseemly

they're probably fake i dont think one has ever leaked in full but theres a zillion fakes every time

If I were to play Binding of Isaac would you guys recommend the Switch version over the $5 version on Steam?

i've only ever played it on a laptop so i can't say how controller stacks up vs keyboard but i think either you're likely to get an amazing gaming experience so probably pick whichever one you'd prefer to play on (or the cheaper one if all else is equal)

I have it on Switch- it's great on there! But I can't really say it beats it for $5 on PC...

My current set up makes it really easy to play in the living room and it's definitely fun as a portable option. So points there.

But $5 is a steal and currently it's taking a weirdly long time for the Switch version to update to the latest version. Should be any day now really but currently it's a version behind and is missing some items types, enemy types etc.

i've got the card game mcmillen made i haven't played it yet but it looks fun tho not as inspired as the original

Oh! Report back when you do.

some more release dates starting to trickle out

Yoshi's Crafted World - March 29
Dragon's Dogma port - April 23

Bought both Guacamelles today, because they seemed to be on sale and look like cool games. Played a bit of the first, it's silly fun.

There's a Switch version of Out Run out today! A handheld version of the arcade, life would be fucking sweet if I was 8-year-old me now.

Which Out Run? the 2d one from the 80s? or one of the early 2k's 3d ones?

should I buy NSMBUDS

what is the ILG consensus

xp original arcade Outrun, only major change I think is more songs to choose on the stereo

new release dates
FFX/X2 14th April
Dragon's Dogma 23rd April
FFXII 30th April

Also need consensus on NDMBUDS

Loved Odyssey, Loved Marios 3 & World, was kinda blah on DK Tropical Freeze

aw nuts, i woulda bought one of the 3d ones on the spot re: outrun, i just played plenty of the 2d one in Yakuza 0 anyway haha

man there are few games i like as much as outrun 3d/2/2003/whatever it was called, that shit cancelled some panic attacks for me on darker days

OutRun 2006: Coast2Coast

that's the one

i don't like the NSMB games, they're Nintendo at their most conservative. if you like super mario world they're basically just more of that with a clinical modern take on the presentation. ive only played the wii one but nothing I've seen of this one suggests its any more than a hd iteration on that. they do have co-op though

Interesting development on the Smash Bros. front: my 14-year old daughter is hopeless, but my 11-year old often wins!

I think it exposes players that get by on button mashing. It doesn’t work to your advantage in that game the way it does in something like street fighter

Anyway apropos of nothing here’s my most anticipated right now

Untitled Goose Game
Sayonara Wild Hearts
Wargroove
Mineko’s Night Market
Animal Crossing
Pokémon 2019
Luigi’s Mansion 3???
Daemon X Machina?????

mine is basically just fire emblem rn i need to see more first for everything else

Oh right fire emblem, I’m into that

I’m dropping Amazon prime finally so I’m not sure if I’ll be doing physical preorders this year, we’ll see what happens.

I'm sceptical re wargroove. not sure I really want an non-intelligent systems AW rip. similarly I'd like UGG to be good but colour me hmmmm for now

most anticipated:

animal crossing
luigi's mansion 3
fire emblem
dusk
wonderful 101 (port)?
obra dinn?
super mega baseball II??
pikmin 4??
persona 5??
zelda game in botw engine II???

the yoshi game looks great presentation-wise but those games don't always get the gameplay into a satisfying place where it's not just too easy or too slow all the time

Sadly there is nothing I've seen coming out on Switch that I'm excited about at all, but I'm generally a Nintendo 1st-party AAA title kinda guy. I've got my Mario, Kart, Smash and Zelda.

XXP I don't mind if they reuse the BotW engine, but I really hope the next Zelda is as different from BotW as BotW was from previous Zeldas. I had no idea Dusk was headed to Switch, I found out about that game only recently and it looks like a blast.

last thing I saw on dusk said that the developers were working hard on the console releases, with switch prioritised over PS4/xbone

theres been rumblings that the 2d zelda team may have a game coming

the yoshi game looks great presentation-wise but those games don't always get the gameplay into a satisfying place where it's not just too easy or too slow all the time

yoshi games seem like the place where mediocre nintendo ideas go to die. (i don't count SMW:Yoshi's Island as a Yoshi game).

i havent played woolly world but it got a lot of 'this one's actually good' when it came out

i'll play frostpunk on whatever system it comes out on (that i own) first. any word on whether it's coming out for switch? i kept hearing about a mac port but no news in a while.

no clue, those sorts of pc strategy games dont always bother with consoles because of how kb+m dependent the gameplay is. don't know if thats the case for that one in particular

as a counterpart to anticipated, what IPs do people wish would get new life on switch

advance wars and F-zero for me

f-zero sure. i think all the other Nintendo owned franchises i like are active

def want a switch warioware or rhythm heaven

1080!

And a new Wave Race would be fantastic.

jsut want them to freaking let me make a 3ds a controller and give me the zelda four swords/crystal chronicles/et al gaggle of games i crave. THE WII U WAS SO CLOSE TO GETTING IT RIGHT i'm still salty about this

i mean i guess if i don't get to change the rules of reality, fuckin, idk, uniracers i guess

they're rereleasing crystal chronicles on here idk if it'll have local co-op though or just online

bubble bobble

also plz remake galaxy I & II for switch

those games don't need a remake they look fine blown up to hd res bc it's all color and shape no fancy textures

they should put them on switch though i agree

they'd have to rebind galaxy bc wii controls but should be easy im-totallyuninformed-o

why can't they just convert it to the two pads/two hands setup?

yeah! exactly!
