Topic: The Switch Recommendations Thread

@NintendoByNature I have trouble with Mega Man X on easy mode. Does that tell anything? I do remember finishing one of the NES era ducktales games back in the days though...

@Solaine You're welcome!

@toiletduck They're fairly difficult games and can be a little bit frustrating, but I think they're more forgiving than the majority of S/NES platformers. You get infinite lives, for one thing, and there are items you can use to help you (you have to unlock the items with gold or by completing bonus levels, but those are not too difficult).

@toiletduck I have the skill level of a very smart potato, when it comes to platformers, but I was fully capable of beating the Shovel Knight games.

They all give you options to make the game easier or harder, and if you have the Shovel Knight amiibo, you can get some seriously overpowered abilities. At least for his campaign. It's quite fun.

@toiletduck i have tons of trouble with Megaman games so no worries. To this day I still haven't beaten Megaman and its been nearly 30 years of trying for me!

Honestly I think you'll be fine. It's not a cake walk but the checkpoints are plentiful.

@Dogorilla @Eel @NintendoByNature thanks! hehe that leaves me hopeful I don't do Amiibo though. I'll probably pick this up in the next sale.

I see Oceanhorn has a big discount (65%). How is it?

@toiletduck its decent enough for 5. Its a zelda clone but don't expect it to push the boundaries like some better zelda clones did( ittle dew and blossom tales). Honestly if you haven't played blossom tales yet and you want a zelda esque game, between the two, go with blossom tales. Its far better and its the same price right now I believe.

@NintendoByNature hehe I've played quite a big part of Blossom Tales already. Couldn't bother to finish it though, got bored at around 2/3 of the game. So with that in mind I may as well pass on this. Thanks!

@toiletduck fair enough. I loved blossom tales so if that bored you, I have a feeling oceanhorn will.

Obviously haven't played this but it is the closest to Crazy Taxi that we will get

I wonder if we will get color option for Taxi Chaos.
Different country have different color of Taxi.
Here in Indonesia there is Light Blue taxi and Orange color taxi.

@Anti-Matter I hope so too

In the UK I only really see Black Taxis

@WaveWitch
That's true for the majority of Crafted World, but I get the feeling you haven't tried the secret levels after you beat the game.

@WaveWitch I've only played pirates curse and loved it. But the person to probably ask is @Ralizah. It's one of their favorite series and I'm sure you'll be steered in the right direction.

@WaveWitch I personally prefer half genie hero, but most others will say pirate’s curse.

@WaveWitch I enjoyed Pirate's Curse more of the two, although I played it back on the 3DS where it looks nicest visually. Half-Genie Hero is fun too though so can't go wrong with either.

I'm in between Mario+Rabbids Kingdom Battles or Starlink: Battle for Atlas.
The two are with a massive discount... some feedback pls!

@Canhas Mario+Rabbids was more consistently praised. I don't even like turn based combat and I LOVED Mario+Rabbids - This one is an easy recommendation.

I got Starlink, but it didn't win me over, only played it for about 2-3 hours. To be fair, I've never gotten into air combat games. Other people will have differing opinions on Starlink. So, take my Starlink opinion with a grain of salt. But reivew-wise, it is accurate to say Mario+Rabbids got higher reviews across the board.

@Canhas Mario + Rabbids is a must-own if you like tactical experiences. It's like XCOM with more dynamic movement, elaborate overworld exploration/puzzles, and more creative level design. And it's also one of the best-looking games on the system.

Starlink is... interesting? It's alright. I'm still not sure what I think of it, to be honest.

So folks, hold on to your hats, because I've been leafing through the "under $4/€4" section in the eShop, and found that there's a hell of a lot available, also the more known games, and even some from the article that NLife posted earlier about hidden gems. Either way, I decided to put together a list, so here we go:

There should be something in there for everyone, but better get them while they're hot, because the discounts only last for a couple of days.

If you like sim, arcade or sci-fi race games, and you still don't own any or some of these titles, then there's no reason anymore to not grab them now:

• Gear Club Unlimited
• Xenon Racer
• Overlanders
• Moto Racer 4

Are you more into platformers and/or Metroidvanias, then take a look at these:

• Horace
• Toki
• Max - The Curse of Brotherhood
• Flashback
• Shift Happens
• Super Chariot
• The Way: Remastered
• The Bridge
• Fox n Forests

RPG's and/or RPG adventures more your thing?

• Cat Quest
• Transistor
• Dragon Quest
• The Shrouded Isle

Puzzlers?

• Warp Shift
• Death Squared
• When Ski Lifts Go Wrong

Other recommendations under $4/€4:

Well, that's about it. Mind you: they're definitely not all triple A titles, but for less than 4 bucks they're more than their money's worth in entertainment value, so if you're still looking for something to scratch that gaming itch, you could definitely do worse than grab any of these for their current prices.
