The Nintendo Switch

people liked it a lot at the time but most folks i trust on jrpgs think 2 is all around better. i've only played 2 so idk

Breath of Fire 1 & 2. I like the first Breath of Fire better than any of the Final Fantasies, I think.
I've half-heartedly tried to get into Super Metroid before, but the beginning seems boring and then stupid hard. Somebody school me as to why I should persevere?

intrigued by this Breath of Fire hype from the snes ahoy thread

someone let Sakurai take a vacation

breath of fire 1 and 2 are a little on the bland side iirc but i also don't really like FF4 which is the FF they'd be closest to.

i do like breath of fire's gimmick where every party member is some sort of animal or monster person and not a human

Terranigma or gtfo imo

thats an action rpg, not a fair comparison imo

though i do like terranigma more than the mana games

snes launching tomorrow with that many games is nice

I just can't believe there is a Deadly Premonition 2 lol

swery confirmed that he's writing/directing it

obscure weirdo PS1 game Moon: Remix RPG Adventure is coming to Switch too, that's a game I always wanted to try.

I get more into Luigi’s Mansion 3 with each showing, looks like a fun romp

i was already on board when they showed it has Environments and isn't mono-mansion like 1

i like the artstyle a lot too

i've never played any of the luigi games and i am pumped

I loved Luigi's Mansion on GameCube.

The data for Luigi's Mansion contains a second model for Luigi, called "luige" with an "E". The model is polygonally identical, and only displays slightly differently due to lack of associated shaders. The purpose of the model is unknown. pic.twitter.com/uHV63aAuEU

It's true! Onion Games is bringing the cult-classic "anti-RPG" MOON to the Nintendo Switch...

... in English for the very first time!

The game will be out in Japan on October 10th, and available in English worldwide... not too long afterward!

luige

to play snes games on switch online, do you have to download a new app?

and if so, is that app out already where you are? doesn't seem to be here yet

don't think it's up yet

ah ok
played City Connection instead and died a lot

creature in the well looks kinda cool too

Teaser video went up for an unnamed flexible hoop experience

*david tibet voice* a new, special experience

snes app should be available now

please tell me there's a super balloon fight

The SNES games feature online play, right? does this mean we’ll be able to play Mario kart together? Or will they fuck it up like they usually fuck it up? I’m cautiously optimistic because they seem like they’re doing a much better job with the rest of the snes rollout (including rewind)

it has online play, i have not attempted to use it yet

sweet, sweet zelda

Bought Collection of Mana. Think I'm finally gonna play SD3 after so many decades.

Played the first few hours of Astral Chain and it's good, the controls are taking a bit of getting used to but then I'm like that with all "big" games these days, so many button combos to remember. I'm playing on casual as I'm not that interested in getting my incompetence graded lol.

The SNES app is out and includes an option to turn off the button prompts from the bottom of the screen, checked the NES app and yep that has been similarly updated. Going to play Breath Of Fire first as that's one RPG series I've never played before.

CAN WE PLAY F-ZERO ONLINE AGAINST EACH OTHER

theoretically yes

wait... did the original even have MP

really enjoying my first ever play through of SMW2: yoshi's island. switch is perfect platform for it

bummer

Since launching in September 2018, Nintendo Switch Online has added several new NES games each month. As of this month, that's ending.

"More NES games will be added in the future, but those releases will not adhere to a regular schedule," a Nintendo representative told Business Insider in an email this week.

Unfortunately, the same thing applies to Super Nintendo games. "More Super NES games will be added after launch, but those releases will not adhere to a regular schedule," the representative said.

oh well. as long as the ones they do release are good picks, i'll be happy. i'm playing breath of fire now, and looking forward to beating SMW2 for the first time

they just gave us 20 games this month so not surprising

there's still the DKCs and earthbound and smrpg for snes stuff they can add, dunno what else. most of the big e.g. squaresoft or capcom games have a ported version on the market already so they aren't gonna get the rights to give those out for 'free'

SUPER PUNCH-OUT FFS

i forgot there was a snes punch out that';ll probably show up at some point

TERRANIGMA ME DADDY

(I would like TMNT too)

smw2 is my favorite mario game by far

i borrowed it from a friend way back in the day and got really far, but never to the end! really looking forward to that journey.

same deal with super metroid (a rental, never beat). i just started that today as well. i'm not sure if it's a repeatable bug or just something weird that happened to me, but be careful about changing the default control layout. for some reason, after i got the morphing ball it only let me turn into morphball a handful of times, then completely stopped working. i was unable to get out of a nearby room as a result so i had to start over (losing about...8 minutes of progress)

SMW2 is great gameplay-wise but it's very... garish

I am a bit too excited about being able to finish Link to the Past finally - what a game that is

Unrelatedly, how are the people who bought Mario Maker 2 finding it a few months down the line? I'm still keen to buy

this slippery tower dungeon is kicking my ass.

v strange that you sometimes need to reset with the mirror
