The Nintendo Switch

gris looks sick

Seriously. I want to know if it's any good, but I wonder if looking gorgeous is enough.

Rain World looks great, too!

I backed that on kickstarter iirc but never played b/c playing games on PC is the pits so I'll pay again for it now, a friend of mine loves that game, to the tune of like 100 hrs

there's no wishlist option on the eshop?

there is, it's kind of small text and is a text link instead of a button so easily missable

also is really only useful for communicating with yourself, there's no way for anyone to buy a game for you off it.

oh yeah that's all I ever use wishlist for anyway, as a sale tracker

is it in the browser version or just in the console version? i can't find any option like that in the browser version.

oh not sure about the browser version I've only used the console one

in which it's right under the buy button on game pages

hmm ok thanks. hopefully i don't forget these games i'm interested in before i get home.

This site says it tracks deals, i'm gonna try it out and see how it goes. the fact that it's already got a specific canada deals section has me excited (as someone in canada. i assume it also has these for other regions)

hopefully i don't get 500 emails a week

that's useful thanks

tbf i get 500 emails a week from Enterprise even though i only rented a car from them once and i've unsubscribed to their list several dozen times. so some of those emails might as well be about potential Switch deals

I've seen lots of good things about Into the Breach, but I couldn't stand FTL - too fiddly and chore-like - is his any different?

do you like chess?

Impressive pile of Switch games I'm ready to get when they go on sale. Dead Cells, both Guacmelees, Gris ...

I recommend The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild it is a good game

Never heard of it.

it's about metroids and how they survive in the koopa kingdom under evil king pikachu

it's about ethics in gaming journalism

did anybody try moonlighter? seems like it should be fun?
https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2018-05-28-moonlighter-review

I’m waiting for Mineko’s Night Market to play a shopowning RPG

i did try moonlighter. i played for about...5-6 hours. it's a great idea for a game, switching between dungeon crawling and selling loot at the shop, and i'd love to see the next version of it. or another take on it from a different studio. unfortunately i thought the mechanics of both sides of the game were pretty shallow. admittedly i got a little addicted to it when i first played it, because the structure of the game lends itself to a "one more day!" kind of thing. but after i took a break from it for a few days i had no desire to go back again.

it looked like a kinda bland recettear clone so i didn't try it

you guys are helping me save money!

yeah you gotta save up for GOTY 2019 Untitled Goose Game

Love That Goose!

games I hope come to switch in 2019: super mega baseball II; obra dinn; 100 others probably

Kids have a console each. Will it cause problems if I link both consoles to my Nintendo account? Or is it best to set them both up with their own account?

Your account can download games to “secondary” consoles but there’s some arcane set of rules that will occasionally check in and prevent anyone from playing download games from the same account on more than one console at a time. If you want kiddos to have cloud save backups you should get the online family plan and give them each their own online account to attach to their profile. This is probably all better spelled out in an faq somewhere

my household got one of these yesterday. i'm a 42-year-old dad trying to figure out how to beat Boss Harriet in Mario Odyssey with my 6-year-old now.

Kids (10 and 13) got a switch for xmas, they have Mario Odyssey and we downloaded hollow knight, what else is cheap and good that young boys will like pls dont say BOTW I'll just end up playing it again lol

mine got stolen out of my office over my lunch break today u_u

Towerfall? Sonic Mania? Donut County?

xpost boooo

rip swotch :(

apparently I can deactivate it remotely? so I don't have to repurchase games at least

Who steals someones gear from work? geez.

Yeah it's really weird! Especially since we literally have an onsite federal police department and there's a camera outside my door.

so i presume you'll be able to see who steals someones gear from work?

Yeah is it possible its just been mislaid?

Trayce if the boys are good with sillygore then definitely Dead Cells, it’s all time amazing

They are! I'll def look into that, cheers.

Yeah is it possible its just been mislaid?

Damn, sorry that sucks. Someone stole my laptop right off the counter where I was working once (record store). It was ridiculous.

sorry man :(

sorry gbx : (

anyone ever buy games from the other regional stores ? some good deals to be had

GRIS is really good, folks. It is superbly paced, controls great, and is really breathtakingly beautiful. Some people will argue that its focus on aesthetics over mechanics makes it a bad game, or *not* a game (I once had a dude tell me that Undertale was "not a game"). Those people are wrong.
