Tetris 99 is fun
I don’t know how to do T-spins so I’ll never win but I’m pretty consistently in top 10 and have come in second and third a few times
I love Tetris but T-spins are too confusing

they're not too hard, i guarantee if you watch just a couple minutes' worth of videos on how to do them you'll be set (look at just doubles, not triples, which are much harder to set up + rarer to naturally occur -- doubles are easy + they're a must).
you might play slower for a little while while you're practicing set ups but it's worth it, learning those as well as s/z + j/l spins really opens up how you can play the game and it just gets way more fun when each piece has that many more options and less things break yr flow.
my twitchiness/reflexes are way too trash to play any game that requires them generally, but my win rate in this is like 7-8%. i love this game. switch best console of all time

The VR support will be quite different between the two games. While Super Mario Odyssey will get a “bite-sized bonus experience” with a series of three mini-missions in which you collect coins and musical notes, it looks like Breath of the Wild is getting full-on VR support in the main game. You’ll simply be able to turn on the VR Goggles in the options menu and explore all of Hyrule in VR. (Pre-rendered cut scenes won’t work in VR, it said.)

the botw one will be more like 3ds stereoscopy i assume, there's no way the switch can do dynamic VR in that game

god eater 3 is coming out on switch i know you're all excited
― ciderpress, Thursday, 11 April 2019 22:51 (five years ago) link
please compare and contrast to Hyrule Warriors using a Tim Rogersesque analogy

or alternately to MonHun which I tried the demo of Generations Ultimate and was like "yep this is the famous obscurity which I will now immediately bounce off"
― don't mock my smock or i'll clean your clock (silby), Thursday, 11 April 2019 22:59 (five years ago) link
yeah god eater is monhun but a bit faster and sci-fi, i haven't actually played one so that's all i've got

my switch is in stasis while i use this slow release period to play a certain 100 hour long game that is not on it (yet) but i will be back in action by the summer

yeah bigger 3rd party games tend to cheap out on the cartridge costs by only putting half the game on there rather than going to the next size up

It seems like I log in to this thread every three months and ask if I should buy Skyrim, then chicken out, but it's £25 now on the Nintendo store (!) and I think I'll buy Skyrim, maybe.
(I have to admit, I love Zelda but I couldn't get into Dead Souls.)
― Chuck_Tatum, Friday, 12 April 2019 22:14 (five years ago) link
i can't work up anything positive or negative to say about skyrim in 2019. it is a large game that exists

Fuck it I’ll get dead cells 8nstead then

i am negative on that one but other people here love it to death so idk

the new vr one?

though i guess its fine if your just looking for a role-playing sandbox

xxp variety, I think. Don't know about the vr. It's also twice the price rn.

man, i wanna play the heck outta this game, The Friends of Ringo Ishikawa, after reading Tim Rogers's write-up on it.
― they're not booing you, sir, they're shouting "Boot Edge Edge" (Will M.), Wednesday, 17 April 2019 22:33 (five years ago) link
I'm gonna check that out yeah
― don't mock my smock or i'll clean your clock (silby), Wednesday, 17 April 2019 22:38 (five years ago) link
yeah i'm kinda interested now too
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 17 April 2019 22:48 (five years ago) link
More than anything, what immediately shocked me about The Friends of Ringo Ishikawa—well, first was the developer himself confirming that, yes, the title is a reference to The Friends of Eddie Coyle.

The video is just a stream actually, though he’s liable to make a 90 minute video review one of these days

Just a reminder, Cuphead is now out on the Switch!
― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 18 April 2019 17:46 (five years ago) link
Cuphead looks *so* gorgeous, but I've read a lot about how difficult it is, and after my experience with Hollow Knight (loved it but too difficult) and Dark Souls (too difficult, lost interest) I think I'll skip this time.
― Chuck_Tatum, Saturday, 20 April 2019 14:41 (five years ago) link
its prob harder than those games
― ciderpress, Saturday, 20 April 2019 14:46 (five years ago) link
definitely a game thats more fun to watch than to play for me
Difficulty depends on the player’s genre preferences, I think. I only played a couple hours of cuphead, but I found it easier than dark souls. I am really bad at 3D action games, but I feel at home in 2D

Buuut I don’t think I’ll buy it for switch (I played on a friend’s PC) because the d-pad hurts my fingers. Maybe I need to upgrade to the pro pad
― these are not all of the possible side effects (Karl Malone), Saturday, 20 April 2019 15:04 (five years ago) link
pro d-pad has issues with ghost inputs on the diagonals, its not perfect either
― ciderpress, Saturday, 20 April 2019 15:09 (five years ago) link
maybe they've fixed it in more recent ones idk
Damn, I’m glad you mentioned that! I’ve beeen considering going pro but if I’m going to pay that much for an extra pad, I want it to be perfect
― these are not all of the possible side effects (Karl Malone), Saturday, 20 April 2019 15:20 (five years ago) link
its the best controller for everything except for games that require d-pad precision
― ciderpress, Saturday, 20 April 2019 15:24 (five years ago) link
I use an 8bitdo pad with the switch on the rare occasion I have it hooked up to the TV, works great
― ( X '____' )/ (zappi), Saturday, 20 April 2019 15:25 (five years ago) link
yeah i'd look into 8bitdo stuff for a bluetooth pad with a good dpad. i personally love the dpad on the pokken controller, but that's wired and doesn't have sticks so its not an all purpose solution
― ciderpress, Saturday, 20 April 2019 15:28 (five years ago) link
oh, nice! i hadn't considered that. i might pick up one of their playstation pad imitations (SN30 Pro+)
― these are not all of the possible side effects (Karl Malone), Saturday, 20 April 2019 15:30 (five years ago) link
i think you can also get an adapter to use a dualshock4 on switch but i havent looked into that
― ciderpress, Saturday, 20 April 2019 15:33 (five years ago) link
How have Nintendo managed to screw up a d-pad?? They invented the d-pad and I mean I’m not an expert or anything, but superficially at least, it looks like they’ve barely changed it at all since the nes.
― JimD, Saturday, 20 April 2019 16:36 (five years ago) link
Some mess about the configuration of the contacts. If you push eg in an upward direction on the left arm you can get an up input. It’s to be regretted.
― don't mock my smock or i'll clean your clock (silby), Saturday, 20 April 2019 16:41 (five years ago) link
basically if you take your pro controller and hold down just the right arm of the d-pad and shift the weight of your finger up and down you can get diagonal inputs because its too sensitive, even though you're not touching the up or down arms. same with any direction on it. theoretically this can happen a little bit with any d-pad thats not individual buttons if you're applying enough force, but the pro controller one is way more sensitive to it than e.g. the ds4.
apparently you can fix it with some surgery by using insulating tape to cover the inner half of the contact pads underneath but i haven't bothered to try since it's not too bad on the xenoblade model that i have.
