Topic: The Switch Recommendations Thread

@BruceCM I will for sure. Thanks as always

Does anyone recommend All-Star Fruit Racing?
All-Star Fruit Racing is on sale for 99 cents US (normally $9.99)

@Duboiss

Cosmic Star Heroine is great, as is the longest five minutes!

@Screen Cosmic Star looks great thanks for the recommendation

Also for someone who never played any atelier is Ryza a good point of entry ?

@NintendoByNature like mentioned above both are great, but what are you looking for??

Do you want a more linear story and world to explore, and feel a deep connection with your characters?

Or do you like more the open world feel?
And ofcourse do you preffer realistic art or pixel?
All things to consider.

Either way both are a great choice and can give you easily 100+ hours

@Duboiss Must admit, I’ve not played any Atelier, either, but I have read around that Ryza is a return to form after a slightly lacklustre Mysterious trilogy. I am not sure where to start myself! Might be hard going back to the Dusk or Arland trilogy after Ryza, but I gather none is a bad choice.

@WoomyNNYes

I've played a very small amount of All-Star Fruit Racing. It's a good kart racing game. Obviously, it's difficult to recommend it over either MK8D or CTR. But for the price of $1, I think you'll get more than your money's worth.

@DenDen yea im not really sure which way. Im leaning more towards DQ to get that big game feel, but i love the look of OT. Its a tough one.

They do both have demos, BTW, @NintendoByNature .... ? Have you tried them yet? That might help you decide

@BruceCM i did when they both launched. Liked em both a bit but i wasn't as into jrpgs as I am this year. So I didn't get them a fair shake. Itll probably boil down to one of them going on a decent sale and me impulse buying lol

Anybody know what first person shooter Metal Jesus is playing here? I pasted the video to play at the relevant timestamp. So, just hit play and watch for that 10 second clip. Piece of cake. What game is it? If it's Bioshock, which Bioshock?
@Magician @NintendoByNature @BruceCM

@WoomyNNYes I cant really tell..those enemies almost looked like piranha plants lol

@WoomyNNYes

Immortal Redneck

Eh, I hardly play FPS games, @WoomyNNYes .... So far, I'm playin Bioshock 1 & it certainly doesn't look like that, so I doubt it'd be any of those

@NintendoByNature OT is big as well, only diffrent haha.
I don’t know if difficulty also matters to you?
OT is harde then DQ

@DenDen hmm, that might lean me towards DQ then haha. As I've gotten older, I'm trying to prolonge my life, not take years off but suffering from rage enducing games haha 🤣

@Magician Ahh! You're right! It's Immortal Redneck. Nice work. Thank you, my friend!

@Duboiss If you’re interested in where to begin the Atelier series, as I am, this is worth a look:

Immortal Redneck or Void Bastards? 🤔 hmmm

Ok. I’m on the final boss of Paper Mario (a glorious game, I might add). When I’m done I’m going back to Trails of Cold Steel on PC and Trails of Cold Steel 3 on Switch. After that, I’m going back to Persona 4 Golden on PC and Catherine Full Body on Switch. Maybe even a second playthrough of Fire Emblem Three Houses on the Dimitri Blue Lions route. At least, tentatively.

But with Nintendo’s silence I’m getting antsy from hype withdrawal (I didn’t know it, but it seems I am as much of a hype junkie as anyone else, kind of like a drug addict who takes Percocets every day and doesn’t know they’re an addict until they try going without! That’s me without Switch news)

In light of this recent discovery, I’m jonesing for something new... something I haven’t played before. I just bought Utawarerumono Mask if Truth and Mask of Deception on Steam. And Tokyo Xanadu, since it’s from the Trails dev. But I am wondering what amazing games I may have missed (and it would probably need to be on Steam because I own pretty much everything on Switch, although, there’s a possibility I own a good recommended Switch game but haven’t played much, like Ni No Kuni and Valkyria Chronicles 1 and 4, Okami HD, etc).

Is there any hope for me? Is there any recommendation someone has for some hidden gem that skated under Action Jax’s radar?

@WoomyNNYes
Immortal Redneck has gyro. Void Bastards does not. Just putting that out there 😁
