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

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

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.
― days of being riled (zchyrs), Monday, 31 December 2018 12:14 (five years ago) link
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
― nxd, Wednesday, 2 January 2019 10:23 (five years ago) link
oh yeah forgot about that, will save it for when i have less backlog
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 2 January 2019 14:08 (five years ago) link
i got it but haven't had time to play it yet
― na (NA), Wednesday, 2 January 2019 15:14 (five years ago) link
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
― Evan, Wednesday, 2 January 2019 16:12 (five years ago) link
yeah it's just the first game remastered for hd resolution
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 2 January 2019 16:29 (five years ago) link
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
― na (NA), Wednesday, 2 January 2019 16:46 (five years ago) link
katamari is a top ten all time game for me and i look forward to confusing the hell out of my partner with it
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Wednesday, 2 January 2019 16:55 (five years ago) link
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.
― I have measured out my life in coffee shop loyalty cards (silby), Thursday, 3 January 2019 18:27 (five years ago) link

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
― there are no good podcasts (||||||||), Thursday, 3 January 2019 22:56 (five years ago) link
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
― ciderpress, Friday, 4 January 2019 00:07 (five years ago) link
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.
― I have measured out my life in coffee shop loyalty cards (silby), Friday, 4 January 2019 18:27 (five years ago) link
DIRECT ME TIL I FART
― there are no good podcasts (||||||||), Friday, 4 January 2019 18:42 (five years ago) link
2nd week in January is when it was last year too so seems believable
― ciderpress, Friday, 4 January 2019 18:55 (five years ago) link
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
― ciderpress, Friday, 4 January 2019 20:32 (five years ago) link
not gonna try Travis Strikes Again?
― I have measured out my life in coffee shop loyalty cards (silby), Friday, 4 January 2019 20:52 (five years ago) link
nah thats the type of thing i'd pick up further down the road if its got good word of mouth. i still havent played bayo 2 which would be ahead of it in priority
― ciderpress, Friday, 4 January 2019 20:59 (five years ago) link
tempted to pick up some of the wii U ports for the early year celeste_has_still_not_gone_on_sale_yet lull
NSMB maybe. or DK
― there are no good podcasts (||||||||), Friday, 4 January 2019 23:32 (five years ago) link
Bayo 2, come on...
― Nhex, Saturday, 5 January 2019 02:23 (five years ago) link
xp Those NMH games are some of the reasons I want to pick up a Wii/U for back catalog
― Nhex, Saturday, 5 January 2019 02:24 (five years ago) link
i am back in possession of a (new) switch
copped 'into the breach,' it's v good imo
― gbx, Monday, 7 January 2019 07:29 (five years ago) link
it's good. I beat a run for the first time today!
― I have measured out my life in coffee shop loyalty cards (silby), Monday, 7 January 2019 07:54 (five years ago) link
Katamari (which I'd never heard of) looks like a trip (in lots of ways), but it's kind of crazy to me that it's being sold for $30 when something like Gris or even Guacamelee is half that.
― Josh in Chicago, Monday, 7 January 2019 12:21 (five years ago) link
The prices for Switch games seem crazy.
I can pick up lots of old classics for the PS4 for £10-£15 but all the Swtich games seem to stay North of £40.
Even something like the Harry Potter Lego games which is £15 on PS4 and Xbox is selling for twice that on the Switch
― groovypanda, Monday, 7 January 2019 12:31 (five years ago) link
a) carts are more expensive than discs and b) Nintendo keeps their first party games full price which sets different expectations for the market on their platforms
― ciderpress, Monday, 7 January 2019 13:28 (five years ago) link
also katamari came out like three weeks ago and is not an indie game
― na (NA), Monday, 7 January 2019 15:27 (five years ago) link
it came out like 12 years ago actually imo
― ciderpress, Monday, 7 January 2019 15:28 (five years ago) link
but yeah that's a Classic Game so they can charge whatever they want for it and people will buy it
― ciderpress, Monday, 7 January 2019 15:30 (five years ago) link
I still haven't used our switch as a portable (aside from on the couch a couple of times) but I'll pay a modest switch premium just for its being always on, ie no loading time when you turn it on. the ps4 is bad for that & I'll frequently opt to play switch (or a moronic iOS game) just to avoid the tedious ps4 loading. it really should be nothing since ps4 loading is like what, a minute? but still.
xp yes I will buy katamari for whatever, duh
― L'assie (Euler), Monday, 7 January 2019 15:31 (five years ago) link
Katamari is I think about £15-16 in the uk? Exactly what it should be imo (first time the original game's ever been released here so it's a massive treat to finally be able to play it without importing).
― JimD, Monday, 7 January 2019 16:08 (five years ago) link
https://www.humblebundle.com/store/promo/nintendoUS only and no discounts either, but this is worth keeping an eye on for sure.
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Monday, 7 January 2019 18:28 (five years ago) link
sorry "no discounts either YET"
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Monday, 7 January 2019 18:29 (five years ago) link
that's a coup for the humble folks
― I have measured out my life in coffee shop loyalty cards (silby), Monday, 7 January 2019 18:34 (five years ago) link
If Katamari was $100 it would still be worth it. It looks cute and adorable, but it also makes you want to play each level over and over to improve your scores and etc. Plus, best game soundtrack of all time

I want to pick up a new game at a physical store (the experience!). Any recommendations?
I could just keep getting established Nintendo IP titles because they're reliable but on the other hand I've been hopelessly addicted to Binding of Isaac and kind of want to get hip to another less obvious choice. I'm somewhat well informed about the landscape of games but I want to know what everyone likes the most (those of you here that seem to consume a good variety of titles).
For example:
- I've played the legendary GBC Shantae but how do you like the new one?- Is Cave Story really good?- I'm not usually gravitating to JRPGs or game-that-this-less-cartoony-character-from-Smash-is-from titles but does anything stand out considerably?- Are the newer Mega Man games in those collections providing any incentive to buy or should I just stick to the classics on my Classic Minis- I like the idea of Wild Guns but I've just been so awful at the original on emulator...
I am both aware and horribly out of the loop at the same time.
