@Samus7Killer stopped reading at "I no longer own the console."

Oh, okay, so by your warped logic anybody wishing to explain Nintendo's business practises who doesn't own a Nintendo Switch at this precise moment in time automatically has their points invalidated on this forum.. right?.. right?.. WRONG!!

That's probably not it. People who imply that they sold their console in order to make a point about how bad it is are either lying or prone to making rash decisions. Especially we haven't even seen the console's first holiday season.

I'm not exactly saying that 100% of all people who have sold their console this early are morons; I'm sure there are people who can make a valid case for why. It's just that we see it used so often as bolstering an argument for why a console sucks so often here, that we are skeptical. I can't tell you how often I heard that tired statement during the Wii U era. Honestly, all it tells us is that you didn't understand what you were getting before you purchased it.

Got married.

Meh, not interested in more indies, so I won't be making time for that. Hope we get a regular direct within the next few months, though.

We'll probably get a Yooka-Laylee release date. I mostly want news on Pocket Rumble and Shakedown Hawaii. I wonder what new indie games get announced.

As for the indies showcase I'm interested mostly in the ones that make it to retail..

Penny Punching Princess
The Longest 5 Minutes
88 Heroes - 98 Heroes Edition
This Is The Police
Stardew Valley

hopefully more... like
The Count Lucanor
The Escapists 2
and Yooka-Laylee

Anyways.... Sine Mora Ex is great fun. Beautiful Music by Akira Yamoako once again for A Grasshopper game...👍

Great news! Didn't know that... but watched the movie Kuso a few times that featured some of his work.

@SKTTR yeah he's done the music on a number of Suda's games like shadows of the Damned, LoliPop, Killer Is Dead.. his Silent Hill1-4 are masterpieces. Id die to see him tour with that chick.

Yeah, the music in the Silent Hill games is really dreadful and nightmarish, I love it.
He also directed Silent Hill 4, the game, not just the music. Most people don't like it, but I really enjoyed it, it was something entirely different but the feeling of horror and nightmare was there all the time. I played it through on a weekend's two nights, with a friend, good times. I also got some good creeps from Silent Hill: Shattered Memories, that had some mindblowing moments as well. Those all need a HD compilation remake for Switch!

I only own and completed the Nintendo Grasshopper games, Killer7 (GC), Flower Sun and Rain (DS), Contact (DS), No More Heroes 1&2 (Wii), and soon Sine Mora EX (Switch) and around next year the new No More Heroes game or whatever it was Suda announced for Switch.

Akira Yamoako featured only on NMH2's soundtrack, and I haven't played or listened to his other games soundtracks, aside from the Silent Hill's. Feel free to post some of your fav tunes in the Sine Mora EX topic. I'll check them out.

@Nicolai I admit that being an almost exclusive PC gamer (I have a self built PC with GTX 1070) I originally bought my Switch with the intention of playing Zelda and then reselling it for no loss or a small profit because they were still hard to get. But that idea has long since passed. I have truly fallen in love with the portability of the Switch more than anything else. Especially living in a city its just the prefect device. Being able to take it anywhere and play it makes all the difference for me. Heck even just being able to lie on the couch and play it while my wife watches TV is fantastic. If this was just a straight console I don't think it would interest me much at all but I love the Switch!

That's it right there... that's absolutely it. People who criticize the console just don't get it, because until you have it in your hands and understand for yourself what it means... you can't possibly get it.

I was excited for the system from day one. But I didn't know just how much I was going to end up loving it until I open the box and slid those joycon on for the first time myself. Until I brought my Switch to work with me and set it up in tabletop mode and played Zelda with three other coworkers and a production floor supervisor crowded around watching me. Until I passed the joy con two other people on the spot and played rounds of Mario Kart Battle Mode and Ultra Street Fighter II with them.

Even just yesterday. Was playing some Monster Hunter XX, and nature called. I finally got to the point where I just had to go- but I had just beaten a quest and was waiting for the reward screen, so I just grabbed my Switch out of the dock and took it with me. It's just so dang convenient in every circumstance. And until you actually own one and experience all those little circumstances in which it's usefulness becomes apparent, it's easy to dismiss it as less impactful than it really is.

Fire Emblem Warriors has been confirmed to be releasing on October 20 in NA.

@Hawkstream Oh I see, that's a valid reason then.

But you all know what I mean, right? The whole "I took my Switch back to Gamstop cuz were is teh VC?!?!" can be kinda hard to believe sometimes.

Yeouch, that game is really going to suffer being released so close to Odyssey.

@JaxonH I must be old and old fashioned then, since I'm far more inclined to just pause my Switch and come back to it when done. No matter if you're a handheld in form, Switch, you're something else to me, and you'll fulfil that role, dammit!

On the side, Jaxon, should XX reach the West, how about I join you for a couple of hunts? I'd like to see how you handle yourself.

@EvilLucario I genuinely wonder about that, since they're very different games. I'll probably end up buying both, but if I HAD to choose, I'd go with FE: Warriors, since Mario is great and all, but I don't honestly feel that hype around it. It's just Mario to me (but then I'm an old fart that has played a ton of Mario over the years)

Absolutely. Heck, you're welcome to join now... We're having a blast!

@EvilLucario October in general is pretty packed.

Assassin's Creed Origins, Evil Within 2, Wolfenstein II, South Park, GT Sport, FE Warriors, Mario Odyssey, Etrian Odyssey V, Layton's Mystery Journey, Mario & Luigi, etc

@UmniKnight - Well, an old fart to another; I am pretty genuinely excited for a 3D mario. Been a huge fan of platformer games since I was a kid and hasn't changed much. It's a shame most haven't made their debuts on Switch yet. With Yooka-Leylee being the most prominent. Buuut... There was Lobodestroyo and a few others floating in the ether of the crowdfunding of mystery.

EvilLucario

@UmniKnight Indeed they're vastly different in genres, but Mario just has far more mass appeal compared to a Musuo game, and most people would end up choosing Mario over that, should their budget only allow for one game.

Honestly as a dedicated MMO player I don't buy much games anyway so yeah. (Subscription is paid with ingame money which is awesome and rests my wallet so much, but that's getting offtopic)
