The Nintendo Switch

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.

i dont see how you could argue that one's not a game, it's pretty thoroughly a platformer, just not a hard one

just found out katamari damacy is on here now :D

oh yeah forgot about that, will save it for when i have less backlog

i got it but haven't had time to play it yet

Was just playing that on new years eve! Super fun; frustrating controls and camera but it's so goofy it doesn't matter really especially when playing with friends.

I don't think they did anything special with it though it's just a port afaik

yeah it's just the first game remastered for hd resolution

that's good enough for me, the original katamari games are some of my favorites and there hasn't been a good way to play them in a while

katamari is a top ten all time game for me and i look forward to confusing the hell out of my partner with it

I love the confusing premise and the discrepancy between the problem and the solution in regards to the narrative.

eShop deals in NA http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2019/01/treat_yourself_to_a_bargain_or_two_with_the_nintendo_new_years_sale_in_north_america

30% off MK8D, Arms, and Splatoon 2 are as cheap as these games will be in their digital version for probably ever. Mario+Rabbits w/ DLC under $30.

Basically if you have a new Switch for Xmas but no Mario Kart yet, and you're doing all digital, buy Mario Kart now because the base price is never gonna drop and it will probably not be discounted again for 9 months or so.

octopath too, dammit i have already spent so much on games on sale this season am i about to get back on my bullshit

update: back on bullshit

thanks for the head's up! buying mario kart tonight

anyone ever bought from any of the foreign stores ? tempted to pick up splatoon at the price it's on the south africa store

never tried it, i think it gets attached to your account for that region so you have to change accounts/regions every time you want to play though? not sure about that

feels like bad form to do it for indie games but for full price stuff go at yr own risk

I don’t think that’s true re switching ?

everything I’ve read says there’s no downside, except slight difficulty in paying

the gaming forum leak crew is getting rowdy again. a Nintendo Direct seems likely next week. I say it every time but Nintendo Direct is just the most amazing marketing tool and I lose my mind over it every time.

DIRECT ME TIL I FART

2nd week in January is when it was last year too so seems believable

excited for tales of vesperia rerelease next weekend, thats my only new switch game for a while unless theres a february surprise in the direct
