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
― ciderpress, Thursday, 12 December 2019 19:51 (four years ago) link
yeah mostly concerned with "does it look nice?"
― rob, Thursday, 12 December 2019 20:03 (four years ago) link
it looks like skyrim - much gloomier and greyer world than botw but it has its nice bits
― ciderpress, Thursday, 12 December 2019 20:09 (four years ago) link
bravely default 2 hell yeah
― ciderpress, Friday, 13 December 2019 02:32 (four years ago) link
well that's a confusing title
― ( X '____' )/ (zappi), Friday, 13 December 2019 02:34 (four years ago) link
apparently bravely second was bravely default 1-2 in final fantasy parlance
― ciderpress, Friday, 13 December 2019 02:37 (four years ago) link
square gonna square I guess lolnot 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
― ( X '____' )/ (zappi), Friday, 13 December 2019 02:43 (four years ago) link
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?
― lukas, Monday, 16 December 2019 23:11 (four years ago) link
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
― ciderpress, Monday, 16 December 2019 23:43 (four years ago) link
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
― ( X '____' )/ (zappi), Monday, 16 December 2019 23:51 (four years ago) link
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.
― lukas, Monday, 16 December 2019 23:54 (four years ago) link
Anyway thanks!
I guess it's 2019 and Nintendo isn't dumb.
they're still at least 40% dumb
― Swilling Ambergris, Esq. (silby), Monday, 16 December 2019 23:59 (four years ago) link
Most of the most popular things in history have always been within the margin of error of being 40% dumb
― El Tomboto, Tuesday, 17 December 2019 00:29 (four years ago) link
you have to go out of your way to delete saves even if you uninstall the game
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 17 December 2019 00:48 (four years ago) link
the big new stardew patch is out on switch apparently, tempted to spin up a new game of that
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 17 December 2019 01:11 (four years ago) link
So annoying that you can't copy a cartridge to the internal storage. I understand why, but it still sucks.
― DJI, Tuesday, 17 December 2019 01:33 (four years ago) link
― El Tomboto, Tuesday, 17 December 2019 02:02 (four years ago) link
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
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 17 December 2019 02:24 (four years ago) link
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
― lukas, Tuesday, 17 December 2019 18:24 (four years ago) link
have you played Celeste
― Swilling Ambergris, Esq. (silby), Tuesday, 17 December 2019 18:27 (four years ago) link
I have played nothing
― lukas, Tuesday, 17 December 2019 18:28 (four years ago) link
it looks hard. imagine you're recommending games for an easily frustrated eleven-year-old.
― lukas, Tuesday, 17 December 2019 18:38 (four years ago) link
cuphead (jk)
― Mordy, Tuesday, 17 December 2019 18:38 (four years ago) link

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?
― Evan, Tuesday, 17 December 2019 18:42 (four years ago) link
you can delete them on a game by game basis, there's a menu for it in settings -> data management
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 17 December 2019 18:50 (four years ago) link
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
― Swilling Ambergris, Esq. (silby), Tuesday, 17 December 2019 18:54 (four years ago) link
Cuphead is a million times harder than Celeste imo
― reggae mike love (polyphonic), Tuesday, 17 December 2019 18:55 (four years ago) link
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.
i need to update my $20-and-under eshop recommendation list now that a zillion more games have been ported
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 17 December 2019 18:59 (four years ago) link
hopefully they port disco elysium!
― Mordy, Tuesday, 17 December 2019 19:02 (four years ago) link

Maybe I'm missing something (probably) but if this is meant to be a rebuttal I can't figure out how.
― Evan, Tuesday, 17 December 2019 19:06 (four years ago) link
You win, getting Celeste ty
― lukas, Tuesday, 17 December 2019 19:08 (four years ago) link
celeste is fantastic. ILG game of the year iirc.
― Mordy, Tuesday, 17 December 2019 19:09 (four years ago) link
celeste is indeed excellent but it's more of a SMB (super meat boy) spiritual sequel than SMB (super mario bros)
― diamonddave85 (diamonddave85), Tuesday, 17 December 2019 19:12 (four years ago) link
SMB can be played by your mother who doesn't know that you can hold Y to run and only uses the spin jump button--SMB cannot
― diamonddave85 (diamonddave85), Tuesday, 17 December 2019 19:14 (four years ago) link
oh i thought it was a real question and not a rhetorical one
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 17 December 2019 19:20 (four years ago) link
Oh, yeah. I thought you were originally complaining that it was dumb the switch wouldn't automatically dump the save files when you uninstall the corresponding game.
― Evan, Tuesday, 17 December 2019 19:21 (four years ago) link
And looking back that is where I misread the conversation.
― Evan, Tuesday, 17 December 2019 19:22 (four years ago) link
lukas if you want great platformers you should play VVVVVV and super meat boy too. donkey kong tropical freeze too.
― Mordy, Tuesday, 17 December 2019 19:24 (four years ago) link
no, the way they handle it is good. the only bad gotcha with save data is you can't back it up to a sd card but i guess they're paranoid about people using that as a hacking entry point
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 17 December 2019 19:26 (four years ago) link
Celeste is like Super Meat Boy but it's *also* like Super Mario Bros 3! And it's even a little bit like Undertale maybe? There's a lot there.
Very minor point, but I love the menus. They have the polish of like Gran Turismo or something.
― reggae mike love (polyphonic), Tuesday, 17 December 2019 20:16 (four years ago) link
holiday eshop sale is up i think
gonna take a flyer on saga scarlet grace
― ciderpress, Thursday, 19 December 2019 14:09 (four years ago) link

Anyone play Heave Ho?
― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 19 December 2019 14:48 (four years ago) link
may pick up river city girls and hyper light drifter in the sale
worth the cop ?
― tony blair electric chair (||||||||), Thursday, 19 December 2019 18:52 (four years ago) link
so river city girls is good?
― Evan, Thursday, 19 December 2019 19:41 (four years ago) link
i haven't played it yet despite buying it at release. i think the consensus was that it's fine?
― ciderpress, Thursday, 19 December 2019 19:56 (four years ago) link
ciderpress-certified indie treasure Yoku's Island Express is on deep sale
