I am recommending you send out your Nintendo Switch OLED to get a modchip installed. It'll be the best hundred dollars you ever spend.

I'm just so intoxicated by this thing I'm shouting from rooftops to anyone who will listen. Need a recommendation? I give you the highest I've ever given.

@OctolingKing13 Will confirm Future Redeemed is basically a sequel to the ENTIRE Xenoblade series. A lot of context will be lost if you haven't played all of the games. ESPECIALLY the original, which this expansion is very nostalgic over lol.
But hell yeah, dude, love seeing more people realize what an incredible game XC3 is. Legitimately my all-time favorite JRPG, and a top three game overall for me as well.
@JaxonH The performance overhead allows you to sort out SMT V's chunky framerate? I'm a little jealous lol. Although maybe once SMT V: Vengeance is out, I'll be able to play it at 60fps on my Steam Deck anyway.
@Ralizah
Oh ya. Can't run it at 60 without a mod to drop resolution but stable 30 is more than fine, and at a higher resolution at that. Steamdeck is always my fallback for Switch games with performance issues and will continue to be until Switch 2 drops, but now being able to run most of them on Switch with satisfactory performance is just so nice. Don't get me wrong- I love Deck OLED. But Switch OLED is lighter, thinner, has those nice removable Mobapad M6 HD joycon with tabletop play and easily docking to TV... the traits of Switch that make me love the system really get a chance to shine when more of its games are running without low res and framerate issues.
I may start an "Official Overclock Thread" and start sharing results of various games on Switch OLED in handheld and docked using anywhere from light to aggressive-but-not-too-aggressive clock speeds (cause if you gotta max CPU and GPU well beyond the 18W power draw limit, it's not really worth it- not only can it damage the system, degrade the shelflife faster, it sacrifices optimal gas mileage for battery life, like ya, we can juice it a little more and get a bit better results, but at an extreme cost of battery life).
Then if you or anyone else wants to know how a game runs, can just drop a request.
Just saw there's a Portal 1/2 side Loader that runs Steam mods. So Still Alive and Portal Reloaded can run on Switch.

@JaxonH Oh yeah, just avoiding the sickening lows in later areas would be worth it. I loved SMT V, but it was running closer to 20fps most of the time than I cared for.
The adaptive resolution was also pretty aggressive in undocked mode, as I recall. Can you address the image quality issues?
Speaking of Portal, have you seen Portal Revolution? I saw my nephew playing that a few days ago. Genuinely the highest-quality fan content I've ever seen. It's pretty much Portal 2.5.
Can anyone recommend whether to get Outer Wilds or Death's Door? I think I'd enjoy Death's Door more, having loved Hollow Knight previously, but Outer Wilds looks really cool, and I want to try building stuff from it in lego.
I also have a little brother who wants to play everything I play. Maybe I should go for the lower ESRB rating?
I appreciate the help I got already, and I do plan to borrow Risk of Rain 2. Hope this doesn't bother anyone!
@sunny63 Personally, I loved death's door. I wouldn't say it feels much like Hollow Knight though since it is level-based rather than being a big open metroidvania.
But very fun little action adventure game. Read the NintendoLife review if you haven't.
@FishyS Thanks, and that's actually good to hear! I liked HK for combat rather than the exploration, although that was lovely too. So one more mark towards DD...
Hey folks! I just wanted to pop in here to get some feedback regarding a certain series that's currently on sale for some WILD discounts: SteamWorld. I've never had any interest in the series prior to seeing the sales it's currently experiencing (though I've definitely liked what I've seen of it in the past) so I'd like to ask those who are familiar with the franchise: would SW be a good purchase? I'm thinking about grabbing Dig 1+2 and Heist if so but I have no idea if the series is worth it or not so I'd love some input from those who have played them if possible. Thanks in advance!

@Fizza I grabbed dig 2 for $5 a couple years ago which was a good deal. Although I wouldn't quite rate it 9/10 like NintendoLife did, it has nice graphics and good gameplay and overall is a fun short cute little semi-linear metroidvania. Would recommend. I've never played the others.
Alright girls and boys, looking for my next game. I currently own hollow knight and bug fables so I'm looking to play either of those. Or, bombrush cyber funk is on a discount through Amazon and I'm really interested in that as well. Which should I go with? I've played a good amount of HK but neither of the other 2. I just never finished HK.
@NintendoByNature You already own Bug Fables but haven't played it? Bug Fables is either quite good or slightly annoying depending on whether you like the humour/writing. I didn't love it but I still feel like it is worth trying.
Also, those 3 games are insanely different genres 😆 Normally I would say go for whichever genre you were in the mood for.
@FishyS interesting. Everything I've read about it is nothing but high praise. Needless to say, I'm very interested in all 3 of these. Just not sure which route to take.
@NintendoByNature I mean... the fact that people who didn't love it would still recommend it is high praise. No game is loved by everyone, but in some games it's pretty obvious how and why people would love the game even if you don't enjoy it much yourself.
@NintendoByNature HK is incredibly good but IMO Bug Fables is the GOAT. Exciting story, lovable characters, and engaging battles and exploration. I didn't get HK's third ending either (I did finish the main ending and Sealed Siblings [is this too spoilery?]) , and IMO I've gotten all the enjoyment I want from that game.
No idea about BRCF, but Bug Fables is my favourite game of all time, and that title was previously held by Hollow Knight.
