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

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)

I'm officially excited about (checks notes) one thing announced, and it rhymes with Griselda.

lots of stuff I liked, but it was pretty much all 3rd parties outside of a Pikmin logo and a v short Zelda trailer. Nintendo's first party studios MIA, I guess they are working on content for the next systems launch?

Sigh. I feel like half my time with the Switch has been spent waiting for what comes next, but at this point I think I've finally realized that with few exceptions, whatever it is that Nintendo does best may just be not for me. I loved Breath and we as a family got a lot out of Mario Kart, but both of those were ports from the previous system. I loved the Ori games, but they were Microsoft games that somehow made it to Nintendo. Other than that, my fave indies (Hollow Knight, Cuphead, Hades) have been available on all systems. Oh well.
― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 13 September 2022 15:37 (one year ago) link
im studying the trailer like the zapruder film, stuff weve seen before floating castle, sky islands, no towers or shrines, links weird arms, link doesnt have any of his old gear, time reversing mechanic maybe thing; new stuff link has guardian shotgun shell looking things hanging from his belt, big green design on a bluff, wooden shield, stone axe, airplane!
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 13 September 2022 15:39 (one year ago) link
his gear looks pretty rudimentary feel like this could be the distant past, relative to botw, or some sort of time mixing situation cld be going on, the castle is there but its behaving strangely

Nintendo consoles are for Nintendo first party games. You should buy them if you want to play Mario, Zelda, Splatoon, Metroid, Donkey Kong, Kirby, and, uh, Mario + Rabbids Kingdom, which I’m playing through right now. If you’re not into those but want a handheld you might be better off getting a Steam Deck

and prob some cool jumping/flying mechanics
one question about this game is if theyre using "the same map and engine" how do you make it a new fresh experience, and obvs part of the answer is links got to have new different stuff, different mechanics
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 13 September 2022 15:56 (one year ago) link
however if they make a mario odyssey 2 you absolutely must be able to jump on the hat
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 13 September 2022 15:57 (one year ago) link
is it actually the same map i assumed they would do a calamity / upheaval on it so theres like recognizable spots from the first game but they're fucked up now

Surely it's this, and I for one am looking forward to it. I love it when you get a familiar landscape made strange, whether in a sequel or in the same game, like the Leyndell/Ashen Capital in Elden Ring

I agree with this to a certain extent but you can't exactly go buy a Deck easily. Also although I have a Deck and like it, it is nowhere near as plug-and-play as the marketing suggests, you have to do a lot of dicking around to get many games working on it, if they work at all. I'm currently playing Soul Hackers 2 which launched well after the Deck did and it's buggy as hell with regular crashes, I had to search out and install a custom windows layer just to get it working decently. It's not a mass market device, that's for sure.

nintendo consoles are for nintendo first party games, nintendo handhelds are for third party JRPGs and japanese adventure games, the switch is both of these so it's for both
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 13 September 2022 17:25 (one year ago) link
nintendo is for nintending, nuff said
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 13 September 2022 17:29 (one year ago) link
I agree with all of that, and it's totally fair, there just haven't been that many first party games that have commanded my attention. Basically just Breath of the Wild, and again, that was technically last gen. Not really a fan of turn-based or rogue-likes or JRPGs, which kind of limits offerings on all systems, tbh, but especially on the Switch. But hey, it was worth buying for Breath and the two Oris alone!

Vampire Survivors? Long-MIA games like Silksong, Samurai Gunn 2, Mineko’s Night Market? Six thousand cozy farming life sims?

meta farming sim where you farm farming sims

it will be 10 more farming sims yes
i forgot about mineko's night market i just assume these things come out while i'm not looking
― ciderpress, Monday, 7 November 2022 17:29 (one year ago) link
I’m on leave from work for mental illness and I’ve been playing a lot of Stardew Valley again, which frankly is extremely good and I do not really need another six thousand entries in this genre when we have this.
I tried the Factorio demo for a bit and while I think I would enjoy the game and their small team worked very hard to make it work on a controller I think the “last mile” of work to make it actually a good console game may not quite be there.

I hope Silksong finally comes out so that people can stop whining about it.that's right, I'm whining about the whining. whineception.

No Silksong. Almost all the games announced seemed like something a particularly precocious middle schooler might have come up with during game-design summer camp.
