I heard that Switch sales are way up, and stores are selling out again. For obvious reasons.
In unrelated news, with the release of AC I think Nintendo now has literally no first party games on its release schedule.

Cool, thanks. I've never played Borderlands or Bioshock though I suspect they're a fraction of the price on PS4. Nothing else there caught my eye. Maybe that underwater Metroidvania?
Oh, and fuck an easter egg (er, Bunny Day) hunt in Animal Crossing. I suspect my daughter will bristle at Conspicuous Christian Content.
― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 26 March 2020 14:20 (four years ago) link
BioShock games are great but yeah you can pick up all 3 for less than £20 on PS4
― groovypanda, Thursday, 26 March 2020 14:26 (four years ago) link
Good Job! looks fun
― El Tomboto, Thursday, 26 March 2020 14:27 (four years ago) link
xpost Just looked, and yeah, the Bioshock Collection on PS4 is currently $15.

I’m stoked for Clubhouse Games
― silby, Thursday, 26 March 2020 14:37 (four years ago) link
bioshock collection was just free on PS+
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Thursday, 26 March 2020 14:46 (four years ago) link
omg Clubhouse Games! I played the DS game so much.
― ( X '____' )/ (zappi), Thursday, 26 March 2020 14:56 (four years ago) link
clubhouse games is hype
― ciderpress, Thursday, 26 March 2020 15:03 (four years ago) link
Almost bought one of these to help keep the kids occupied before Shit Got Real. Regretting that I didn't, it seems impossible to find one anywhere now. I haven't owned a console since the original NES. Anybody know if Nintendo is hustling to get more made or are they in hibernation?
― Cow_Art, Thursday, 26 March 2020 17:08 (four years ago) link
presumably Nintendo is aware they have stock issues and would like to sell as many as possible but the supply chain is almost certainly impacted by covid
― silby, Thursday, 26 March 2020 17:10 (four years ago) link
in February they thought that only the Japanese market would see an impact from that but that was 1000 years ago https://www.pcmag.com/news/coronavirus-delays-nintendo-switch-manufacturing-in-china
― silby, Thursday, 26 March 2020 17:11 (four years ago) link
covid both disrupted their manufacturers in china and created a huge spike in demand, they haven't stopped making them but it's gonna be bottlenecked for a while

I played the shit out of Burnout 3 on PS2. Was this one any good?

― reggae mike love (polyphonic), Thursday, 26 March 2020 23:44 (four years ago) link
that one was verrrrrrrrry good
― Karl Malone, Friday, 27 March 2020 00:39 (four years ago) link
or wait, i only played burnout 3 (which was great!), but i've read paradise is supposed to be good as well
― Karl Malone, Friday, 27 March 2020 00:40 (four years ago) link
my sources tell me that paradise is not as good as 2 or 3 but still fine
― ciderpress, Friday, 27 March 2020 00:43 (four years ago) link
burnout paradise was a masterpiece
― ||||||||, Friday, 27 March 2020 07:29 (four years ago) link
Paradise needs a bit of an attitude shift if you already love the previous games. I hated it when I first tried it because I wanted more of the same, then came back to it a couple of years later and liked it a bit more, then again a couple more years later and fell fully in love with it.
― JimD, Friday, 27 March 2020 12:30 (four years ago) link
going to be full price on switch though..... hmmmmm....
― ||||||||, Friday, 27 March 2020 13:07 (four years ago) link
I'll still buy it. There's been a dearth of games that I care about for the switch lately.
― DJI, Friday, 27 March 2020 15:55 (four years ago) link
one step from eden looks potentially good - fusion of megaman battle network and slay the spire?
― ciderpress, Friday, 27 March 2020 15:58 (four years ago) link
swore to myself that I'd stop buying limited editions of games a few years ago and have stuck to it, but I couldn't resist the EU Xenoblade LE - it was the vinyl LP that pushed me over the edge dammit.

lol badass
i missed 1 the first time around so i'm looking forward to it

a record accompanying a video game is true post modernism salute
― lag∞n, Friday, 27 March 2020 19:51 (four years ago) link
I bought (and immediately sold) that Persona 4 fighting game years ago cos it came with a vinyl record. which I kinda regretted cos they were remixes of P4 music and not the originals lol.

check out "mario"
― ciderpress, Friday, 27 March 2020 20:45 (four years ago) link
what kind of games do you like gyac?
― Karl Malone, Friday, 27 March 2020 20:47 (four years ago) link
but yeah, you'll probably end up with at least marios of some nature
^2^ marios of some nature
― Karl Malone, Friday, 27 March 2020 20:53 (four years ago) link
lol the version I got has Mario U, and yeah I do love Marios. Not going to bother with Maker though. Will probably get Animal Crossing and Stardew Valley cos the people I usually game with have them and it’d be fun to co op and I love Stardew Valley anyway. Usually play on PS4 but have a Steam account as well and the mini Nintendo consoles mentioned above. Into: Yakuza series, Age of Empires, Ace Attorney (though not going to get this if it’s a Switch game tbf), Life is Strange? Basically story-based games I guess but I play Tekken a bit and stuff like Overcooked and other casual games too.

also you can't get the full 'josh in chicago' experience, without picking up botw
― ||||||||, Friday, 27 March 2020 21:21 (four years ago) link
this is not encouraging, fella
― extremely Dutch coughing sound (gyac), Friday, 27 March 2020 21:31 (four years ago) link
BOTW was pretty great. I hope the sequel is exactly the same and that we all live to play it.
Eventually.

Mario Odyssey is a masterpiece!
― DJI, Friday, 27 March 2020 22:12 (four years ago) link
mario odyssey is the best switch game excluding weird anime things for weirdos
― ciderpress, Friday, 27 March 2020 22:13 (four years ago) link
Breaking news: I've been alternating Switch and PS4 games, more or less, and I was going to finally play Odyssey after Dark Souls 3. I'm on the fence over whether or not I want to absolutely finish DS3, though, so maybe it will be Mario sooner rather than later.
― Josh in Chicago, Friday, 27 March 2020 22:17 (four years ago) link
i have played mario and zelda and they are both great their shd be more mario levels tho IMHO
― lag∞n, Friday, 27 March 2020 22:35 (four years ago) link
the mexican level is the coolest
― lag∞n, Friday, 27 March 2020 22:37 (four years ago) link
feel like if u like side scrolling mario which i dont really care abt then mario maker wld be the way to go as it gives u access to infinite side scrolling mario levels
― lag∞n, Friday, 27 March 2020 22:38 (four years ago) link
i might get the zelda dlc as a treat
― lag∞n, Friday, 27 March 2020 22:39 (four years ago) link
im still hoping the fact that they didnt do bonus dlc levels for mario odyssey means they just rolled right on over to making another one like they did with galaxy
― ciderpress, Friday, 27 March 2020 22:43 (four years ago) link
reasonable theory, i read the zelda 2 theyre making started out as a dlc and got too big
