Thanks for the answers! It's nice to see different points of view. So according to both of you I really should buy it, tho I'll have to decide if the price is worth it without replayability. I really like combat-puzzle games so I suppose I'll like it.
As for the story I don't usually care much about it in games unless it involves morality and hard decisions so I'll like it too.

Haven't played Earthbound although everyone seems desperate for a new one so it does explain its popularity.
@Alber-san Yeah pretty much. I don't hate Undertale at all and I actually do think the first few playthroughs are fantastic. But when you peel back everything and take a step back, it starts falling apart for me.
That's just how I see it though. More often than not, if you ask someone what they think of Undertale they're going to like/love it more than they hate it, and half of the time the hate is more because of the fanbase. Give it a good shot, you may be entranced.

Please let me know before you send me a FC request, thanks.
Undertale is also extremely short for RPG standards, and the RPG mechanics are also pretty half-assed. Levels and gear also mean pretty much nothing.
I mean, I guess that's true enough but that doesn't matter as much because it's a shorter game. And I didn't think the game was that easy on my Pacifist Run? It wasn't super tough either but it was more difficult than...the majority of Nintendo games at the very least.
I really don't play JRPGs for multiple runs in the first place. Like different strategies for similar scenarios for the sake of it is not interesting when I could play a wider variety of games instead. And even if I did, it would be for a different type of game. A lot of JRPGs just involve getting good at a few basic strategies and you can very easily win that way. And beyond that, I don't tend to play them for the combat. It's usually good enough for a single playthrough but it takes something really well done in terms of combat for me to actively want to play an RPG again. For some of them, it's honestly not much different from Ace Attorney for all I care about their "gameplay mechanics".
@Alber-san Earthbound is a classic well worth picking up on the VC. An interesting take on the RPG genre, great characters and story and well drawn world.
I just beat Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze with every KONG letter, puzzle piece, all K levels and the extra world.
Only one figurine I haven't gotten out of the bubble gum machine, and just spent my last banana coins getting the final few.
Gonna start back over at World 1 and get gold medals on every stage in the game. Not concerned with hard mode. It's just frustrating tbh. Time trials are where the real fun is at.

@KirbyTheVampire Not sure if we know yet, but honestly I don't see it getting more expensive than $10 digitally. Physical might be different, but PS4/Vita was also more expensive with that physical package while keeping $10.
Honestly though? I like Undertale quite a bit, but it's not a game I'd ever replay because the story is fairly shallow after the glamor of the first playthroughs, and the gameplay is kinda iffy. It's a great experience, but as a game I think there are better ways to spend $10. So even disregarding price and Steam sales, I would not get Undertale on the Switch because it's not a game I'd ever want to replay, and I love my portable games to ooze replayability.
Oh okay, thanks! I might just get it on PC either way, since I only have a 64 GB card in my Switch. Not that I've bought a single digital game so far anyway, but still.

Ya know, I'm no speedrunner, and for the reasons you mentioned. But DKC Tropical Freeze is different. You can start a stage for time trials and just do your best and see how fast you can get through it, and chances are you'll probably land a bronze your first try. Maybe even silver. And once you do that, you kind of realize it's not some super elite achievement that only the most dedicated of players who religiously study the stages can attain. You realize this is well within your grasp and it's a lot of fun trying to get a better time.
What's important is to not set an unrealistic standard. Just do a time trial and see how fast you can run it, mistakes and all. And then give it another go or two, and you'll probably hit a gold medal run by your second or third attempt. Now, if you want to actually compete on the leaderboard's then you're going to have to restart when you make mistakes and try, try again. Maybe watch some video replays of the number one time spot on the leaderboard and see how they did it and what short cuts they used, etc. but if you are just running time trials for fun, you don't need to do any of that. Just enjoy it and see how fast you can make it through. Don't have to use the fastest route and have a perfect flawless run. Just do your best and see how it pans out.
That's how it started for me , and I realized it was just so incredibly fun and addictive that I suddenly found myself wanting to try to compete on the leaderboards, wanting to learn the fastest routes. I don't think I'm going to dive that deep into it this time around- I think I'm content just going for gold medals. And whenever I get my fastest time on a stage I always upload it to the leaderboards. Even if I am only the 500th in the world, friends can still view it on the leaderboards. Friends can still watch your replay.
So it becomes this really cool thing where anyone on your friends list who is playing the game can see how well you did on a stage, and then maybe they try to beat your time. And maybe you check back a few weeks later and you see that your friend has beaten your time and you want to try to top them now. I used to do this with a guy from NintendoLife back on the U.
Anyways, I just thought I'd share some perspective because I really do believe the time trials in this game can be for anyone. Heck, they got me into it and I was the last person on this earth who cared anything about speed runs. Maybe give it a shot- just for casual fun of course. If something blossoms out of that then so be it and if not then no worries because you're just having casual fun, getting silver and gold medal times (which really isn't that hard to do)
Ok, I'm upgrading my Hollow Knight recommendation to "maybe one of the best indie games I've ever played in my life".
Its even better than Steamworld Dig 2, and that's saying something.
Like Dark Souls, if you die, you lose your "souls" or money or whatever they are. You can retrace your steps to where you died to reclaim it. There'll be a black ghost of yourself you must kill to get it all back. It attacks though so watch out!
Its like a mix between Metroid and Dark Souls and Ori and the Blind Forest.
I haven't been this hopelessly overwhelmed by a feeling of being incredibly lost, not knowing where the HECK you are, while being surrounded by real, imminent danger, since the days of Metroid Prime.
10/10 absolute must own. I said before that Ori and the Blind Forest was worth buying an Xbox One for, $20 game or not. And I'm gonna say the same thing for Hollow Knight and Switch, even at $14.99 (a mind blowing price considering the quality of the game and the fact all DLC expansions are included). This game is worth owning a system to play.
I'll third it. Hollow Knight is stellar. Probably the best indie game on the platform so far.
It's challenging without being unfair, subtle without being deliberately obscure, and atmospheric and charming in turns. Great music, expert sound design, very tight controls.
I'll fourth it. Hollow Knight might be the best indie title on the Switch right now, and better than a lot of the retail and so-called AAA titles to boot.
@JaxonH@TheLobster@Ralizah@EvilLucario Ngggh, stop it, you guys! I already brought Hollow Knight, but I haven't started it yet. I'm juggling between Tropical Freeze and Celeste - both of which I kinda put on the backseat because of the Octo Expansion. You guys don't want me to juggle with yet another game with all your recommendations now, would you?
Glad to hear it's looking like a fine game, though. If it's anything like Celeste - which, by the way, is nothing short of an amazing indie game - then that'll be even better. I'll be sure to try it out once I finish the Octo Expansion, but I fear Celeste and Tropical Freeze will take up all my time anyway. We'll see what happens.
I need help.
My Right Joy Con is DEAD !
Didn't charged at all, i couldn't sync even i had pressed Sync button between SL & SR button.
What should i do ?
Figured I'd jump in on the Hollow Knight adulation. I had heard the game was great but didn't realize it'd be this amazing. I have so many other games I want to play but haven't been able to put it down. I've barely even played the Xenoblade 2 DLC. I'm about 15 hours in and there's still a lot to do.
Up there with Hyper Light Drifter and Celeste as indie games that are better than most "AAA" games.
@Anti-Matter You might need to call Nintendo, buddy. It's an 800 number so at least the call is free. Edit: I think the call is free. Not sure about from Indonesia. (You're in Indonesia, right?)
@Vee_Flames Better too many games than no games at all!
@DarthNocturnal
When i charged my Switch, my Right Joy Con was displayed with Red Empty bar (Not charged at all) but still able to respond , but after i plugged the adapter cable, my Right Joy Con was not working at all.
When i tried to find Joy Con by Sync, my Right Joy Con was Not founded ( ? Mark appeared).
I had tried holding the Sync button on my Right Joy Con, not working too.
