The Nintendo Switch

Have the same 20 dollar max for impulse purchases I think. Also I get this “who the fuck do you think you are?” attitude when I see newer, better games that are cheaper right next to it.

indie direct tomorrow wooooo

This Gleamlight game...the first of the Hollow Knight clones?

Supermash looks intriguing, it'll be interesting to see how well they pull off that concept

aw yeah SkateBird

aw yeah Boyfriend Dungeon

only interested in golf story 2: sports story and the picross murder mystery game

supermash reminds me of the board game "504" which was interesting conceptually but close to 0 of the 504 games it could create were actually fun to play

No news on Silksong?

lol speaking of which, I just saw that clip of Gleamlight, and boy, what a shameless looking mimic of Hollow Knight ...

yeh murder by numbers looks good!

Picross murder mystery game? sold.

same

what is the name of the picross murder mystery?

I am totally down for "You found: Strangulation marks!"

lol, so nintendo

celeste on switch us for ten bucks if anyone's not tried it yet
Skyrim and Doom are $30
Octopath $36

Celeste for $10 is a steal, considering it should've cost $60 to begin with

yeah i'll be grabbing that one

anyone played Skyrim on switch? I've never played it before, but I'd like to fill the BOTW hole in my heart and that looks serviceable

it's nothing like botw other than having a big map but the switch version is a good port if that's what you're asking

yeah mostly concerned with "does it look nice?"

it looks like skyrim - much gloomier and greyer world than botw but it has its nice bits

bravely default 2 hell yeah

well that's a confusing title

apparently bravely second was bravely default 1-2 in final fantasy parlance

square gonna square I guess lol
not a fan of the character models they showed but I love the series (does 4 Heroes Of Light count?) so I'll buy it anyway

okay my family got me a Switch Lite for Christmas as requested

but no games

I'm headed out of town tomorrow, a little under the gun ... so I guess I'm just going to install BOTW on internal storage overnight?

internal storage is big enough for it if that's what you're asking. maybe grab some smaller stuff too or if you're at all planning to sub to the online service you could do it now and grab the nes & snes games

the eshop xmas sale starts on the 19th too, maybe wait to see what that is like? the EU tweet says "up to 80% off, over 700 games" but no indication if any first party stuff is going to be included

I guess I was asking if there were any hidden gotchas, like "once you install on internal storage you can never remove it or you'll lose your saves" or something like it. I guess it's 2019 and Nintendo isn't dumb.

Anyway thanks!

I guess it's 2019 and Nintendo isn't dumb.

they're still at least 40% dumb

Most of the most popular things in history have always been within the margin of error of being 40% dumb

you have to go out of your way to delete saves even if you uninstall the game

the big new stardew patch is out on switch apparently, tempted to spin up a new game of that

So annoying that you can't copy a cartridge to the internal storage. I understand why, but it still sucks.

the big new stardew patch is out on switch apparently, tempted to spin up a new game of that

i think it just adds a bunch more Stuff to the game, i don't want to look up the details either. i don't think it'll fundamentally change how you feel about the game

I want a 2D Mario game and I'm probably not good enough to play weird Mario Maker levels, so I guess I'm buying New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe

New: Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe

New Super Mario Bros.: U Deluxe

New: Super Mario Bros. U: Deluxe

have you played Celeste

I have played nothing

it looks hard. imagine you're recommending games for an easily frustrated eleven-year-old.

cuphead (jk)

This is smart. What if you got a physical copy and want to free up space on the system but want to pick and choose what save files you hang onto?

you can delete them on a game by game basis, there's a menu for it in settings -> data management

lukas Celeste has a granular Assist Mode that lets you tweak the difficulty to your preferences if you get frustrated, and it's also the best Mario game imo

Cuphead is a million times harder than Celeste imo

Honestly, in a way, Stardew Valley was harder for me than Celeste. Once I started going in the mines that shit got stressful for me.
