We have two official pro controllers and haven't had any drift. By contrast I've returned all four of our joycons (two pairs) for drift. At least the latter was quick and free.

i have two pro controllers and they don't drift. one of my ps4 controllers does though so i guess i'm living in an alternate universe to everyone else shrug

my 8bitdo controller sucks at syncing with the switch, i ended up going back to the joycons-in-weird-frame setup.

BTW, I did end up getting one of the Skull & Co Grip Cases and it made playing handheld mode much better on my hands which would normally start cramping up after a few hours of play. The "case" is a s soft rubbery sleeve and it comes with three sets of Grips for different hand sizes. Def recommended
― Nhex, Friday, 2 October 2020 14:20 (three years ago) link
yeah i have one of the satisfye grips thats just like a hard plastic frame you slide the whole unit into and it adds the controller wings on the sides and spaces your hands correctly to emulate using a normal controller. nice upgrade if you have giant hands like me and want to play handheld without cramping up

are the Lego Harry Potter games fun?

I don't know, but I do know they have no dialogue

that's a plus!

All the Lego games I've played have been fun - Star Wars, Marvel & Harry Potter - but play them all with my kids as the co-op mode is great
― groovypanda, Wednesday, 7 October 2020 06:56 (three years ago) link
I thought the first Lego Harry Potter was great. The second one isn’t nearly as much fun.
― treefell, Wednesday, 7 October 2020 07:29 (three years ago) link
Would also say that a lot of the enjoyment in these games comes from being familiar with the source material
― groovypanda, Wednesday, 7 October 2020 07:32 (three years ago) link
Yeah, there's a whole lotta "oh, that scene, but in Lego form!" Which tbf is the gist of the actual Lego tie-in sets.

haha, I am very familiar with the HP source material!

the kids are wizards. you get it, right?
― bogo jumbo boba (Sufjan Grafton), Wednesday, 7 October 2020 20:56 (three years ago) link
you'll understand when you don't have to shit little brown studs even once during the whole game bc you know they are wizards

i'll likely be picking up Pikmin 3 Deluxe (a port of the 2013 Wii U game), as I've never played any Pikmin before. i'm pretty excited, i've always wanted to give it a shot

Yeah, Mario 35 is great - I can't get better than third though.

I've never played Pikmin either, all I know is that when I play my kids in Smash Brothers they make me play as the Pikmin guy as a handicap.

ryukahr's Mario 35 streams are wonderful

Horace getting good reviews. Anyone tried it?

Looks like a cute little story-driven retro platformer.

it looked like a game for redditors

CarlSagan42 would love it
How about "I Am Dead"? Almost pulled the trigger but stopped short because i remember i always want to like story games and then never do.

This looks great, internet 1.0 aesthetic: https://www.pcgamer.com/hypnospace-outlaw-review/

I'll probably buy this just to support these kinds of efforts. That said, I think I missed it the "last time" it was around, when they remade it for DS as Shadow Dragon.
― Nhex, Thursday, 22 October 2020 19:11 (three years ago) link
yeah weird that they're doing the original of a game that got a remake but i guess its easier to romhack a translation into a nes emulated game than restructure a ds game to work on the switch
― ciderpress, Thursday, 22 October 2020 21:25 (three years ago) link
also i refuse to buy anything with a limited time release just out of principle. its such a weird tactic on their part that's burning through so much goodwill for seemingly no reason
― ciderpress, Thursday, 22 October 2020 21:28 (three years ago) link
i agree that this Disney Vault-style time release stuff is completely bullshit

My apologies, I need to issue a correct. I have not watched CarlSagan42, but instead was thinking of "Thabeast721".

This game rules get it
The Switch version of Towerfall (the classic archery party game from the creators of Celeste!) includes new gameplay variants, six-player battles in widescreen levels, and guest archers Madeline & Badeline — who are featured in the CE trading cards. 💜 @exok_games https://t.co/0RwC78PksT— Limited Run Games (@LimitedRunGames) November 10, 2020

― lag∞n, Friday, 13 November 2020 15:51 (three years ago) link
I've read the technical explanations for why Towerfall can only be local rather than online multiplayer, but it's still a damn shame that it can't be online. I bought it (on PC) and had a blast the last time I had people over to visit, but that can't really happen right now.
