The Nintendo Switch

make sure you get the new revision that just came out with the much longer battery life, if you can

Oh I did, memorized the different model numbers to be sure

hmm astral chain getting really positive reviews

Have any reviewers called it "off the chain?" I need to know so I can either shame or congratulate them, I'm conflicted

OK, fwiw just got a tracking number that my Joy-con is on its way back, so that's a pretty fast turnaround.

every reviewer has called it that, by sheer coincidence

xp to Josh,
I imagine that there must be a good rpg (with more story than zelda) that your daughters would eat up

or adventure game. My little sister eventually got into games like Monkey Island, Paper Mario, and Chrono Trigger

switch should have a paper mario game, hopefully that's in the pipe

Blz

I think they're just not that interested, tbh. Sometimes these things skip generations, and they have plenty of other distractions. I just hope my younger one (not that young anymore) is still interested in Animal Crossing by the time it finally releases for the Switch.

Curiously (or not) they do seem to enjoy watching me play games. Of course, I (and obviously countless others) enjoy watching others play games online, so that's not unusual. Another random data point is that when I was playing Mario Kart with my nephew this weekend, he was really into watching the instant replays at the end, whereas I never gave a poop about that.

hmm astral chain getting really positive reviews

I got it on preorder lol, really looking foward to it

yeah i'm gonna pick it up next week if i finish judgment this weekend

I haven't played Super Mario Odyssey yet but the Dr. Mario app loads a close-up picture of the new Mario and his eyes are kinda creepy. They didn’t need the hyper-realistic lines in the iris. A blue gradient is good enough.

Transferring my user data to the new Switch: painless

Re-establishing my kid’s ability to play her favorite games on the old Switch now that mine is the “primary:” hard brexit

The lack of qualified negotiators is going to lead to food and medicine shortages at my house. Some industries are already looking for alternative locations

Really mistook which Switch to ditch in this sitch

yeah that stuff is very arcane

Completely corrupted her Minecraft save. Had to blow it all away to get it working again; if she had anything important on local that wasn’t in the Microsoft cloud, I may not survive tomorrow

I feel like I’ve been working on an old car for the past two hours

you may have hit the point where your best move is to buy your child’s love back by rebuying all the games.

Oh that happened too. Spending another hundo on things I thought we already owned was the easy part

untitled goose game out sept. 20

honk

yessssss

just noticed that Bulletstorm has appeared on the eshop, wasn't there someone around here that was crazy about that game?
got Astral Chain today, just need to finish up Gris first

anyone else playing AC ? I still need to finish up FE and RE4 before I can justify it

Going to have to insist on Astral Chain being typed out in full I'm afraid, AC already means both animal crossing and assassin's creed, which trips me up on a surprisingly regular basis as it is.

direct tomorrow woooooooooooo

Cool! What are some biggies we know nothing about? Metroid?

we know everything about metroid

the MIA games that could resurface as 2020 releases are bayo 3 and smt 5. don't really know what else to expect this time besides info dumps for the holiday games

SNES games on nintendo online ?

I'd be happy for more Mario Maker 2 content

Deus Ex whatever? What are the big more or less imminent Nintendo games already announced? Luigi's Mansion, Link's Awakening Redux and Animal Crossing?

https://www.nintendo.com/games/coming-soon/#switch

"Big games" dated so far:

2019-09-13 Daemon X Machina
2019-09-20 Link's Awakening
2019-09-27 Dragon Quest XI S
2019-10-31 Luigi's Mansion 3
2019-11-15 Pokémon Sword/Shield
2020-03-20 Animal Crossing

the announcement says "focusing on 2019 games" but they always say something like that. I'd say there's an acceptable chance they're going to announce a game for December.

which would probably be a port of some kind

they always use that language and then show a few further out games anyway

it's like a magic spell against online pisskids

OBRA DINN !!!!!!

Obra Dinn yesssssssss

my patience REWARDED

nintendo said bastard 🤭

This might be the first and only time I ever purchase an amiibo

oh nice a port of the one remaining wii u game i wanted to play

can't believe they got toby fox. who the fuck is toby fox.

wtf no way

deadly premonition 2 !
