I’ve been sucked into playing MarioKart Tour for the last couple years. It’s cool to see some of the tracks from there getting the full Switch treatment.

Was gonna say wasn't that track on the mobile version? That's cool

I’m so used to 2 laps per race now I keep forgetting to keep racing for the third lap 😜

Anyone played pikmin 3 deluxe? Currently considering whether it is worth $30AUD.
― hrep (H.P), Tuesday, 22 March 2022 00:39 (two years ago) link
The demo was fun. It's barely different from Pikmin 1, just better graphics. If you want Pikmin, it's exactly what you want, but no surprises.

nintendo: the release date of zelda has been pushed back while we work diligently to make link more depressed

elden ring is the sourpuss larry bird to zelda's affable magic johnson in this duel. they should lean into it.

I can't imagine Switch Sports being a better party game than Shredder's Revenge
― Herby Dutch Baby (Sufjan Grafton), Friday, 17 June 2022 21:08 (one year ago) link
haven't played either, but having played the predecessors of each, i would guess it very much depends on who is attending the party. Shredders revenge = people who enjoyed playing old beat em ups in the arcade, Switch Sports = everyone who is willing to play a game
― Bruce Stingbean (Karl Malone), Friday, 17 June 2022 22:12 (one year ago) link
i say all this hypothetically, as someone who attended a party about 24 years ago
― Bruce Stingbean (Karl Malone), Friday, 17 June 2022 22:13 (one year ago) link
party games arent really played at parties right it just means there are more than two people playing a game

I've been playing my Switch for the first time in months, and I know it's partly because the games aren't huge, but it's so snappy, the UI is great, and the pro controller's battery rules.
― Josh in Chicago, Friday, 17 June 2022 23:10 (one year ago) link
I got Shredder’s Revenge on thee Switch and am hoping to have some buds get in on it this weekend. Played through it last night then did a few online matches. It’s cool that 6 players is an option but in practice it’s just kinda pure chaos and you spend half the time trying to find where you are.Great presentation, but mechanically seems sloppier and a lil less engaging than Streets of Rage 4 (same publisher). Still a good time.

I had no idea it had online multi, I might have to rustle up some buds

that looked good from the preview stuff i saw. mix of remade original stages and new ones
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 21 June 2022 00:35 (one year ago) link
Oh yeah, I got the Japanese version of that (supports English) a few months ago. It's great!

Don't play much Switch, but ... this looks like it would be an awesome fit.

Been grinding out Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes. Great stuff, catnip for Three Houses fans, and it's been a good while since I sat down and enjoyed a meaty single player campaign. Forgot how addictive the Musou formula can be.

Yeah I got my eye on Cult of the Lamb...

eshop has a sale on a bunch of multiplayer games rn - at least in UK. I got drink more glurp for £1.03!! it's a fairly quick and goofy pass-the-pad physics game, good fun for a few rounds with a small group.

Nintendo Direct tomorrow, unless you are in the UK

Maybe they will add some old levels to Mario Kart, new characters to Smash Bros., and announce that they are only a couple of years out from Zelda 2 and Metroid Prime 4.

Splatoon 3 just sold 3.5 million in three days in Japan, biggest game launch there ever. bigger than Pokemon, Dragon Quest, FF7. that's kind of a big deal, no?
― ( X '____' )/ (zappi), Monday, 12 September 2022 16:05 (one year ago) link
I bought the previous splatoon a while back and could never get used to the damn controls.
― Jeff, Monday, 12 September 2022 16:18 (one year ago) link
my kids were so hyped for that, they'd been talking about it for like the past yeari played a little of the new one, it seems exactly like splatoon 2? like "new" characters and levels but no appreciable difference in gameplay or graphics or anything
― na (NA), Monday, 12 September 2022 16:19 (one year ago) link
i also struggle with the controls, i end up mostly using the right joystick to look around instead of tilting the controller
― na (NA), Monday, 12 September 2022 16:20 (one year ago) link
xp yeah thats enormous sales for japan. the switch animal crossing already shattered the previous record and this shattered it again

Super Mario Bros to SMB3 was a notable leap. But yeah, sequels in the same console generation are usually subtitled “very similar to what you already like; 3/4 of the way to the inevitable reboot”
― Karl Malone, Monday, 12 September 2022 17:01 (one year ago) link
But damn, people must be craving some more of what they like about splatoon! This is very petty or me but i can’t stand the character style of splatoon. I don’t want to be any of these characters or look at them
― Karl Malone, Monday, 12 September 2022 17:02 (one year ago) link
i'm not a huge fan of the char designs/fashion either but the game is absurdly fun once you master the movement (i have not bought 3 though nor will i for a bit)
