Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

Not buying that Trilogy considering I have all three on PS4 already. So..........

An awesome announcement. Personally, Saints Row: The Third isn't a top-five PS3/360 port request, but it's a welcome addition none the less. Now I just need Dead Island from Deep Silver. Make it happen, THQ Nordic.

I'm a little over seven hours into Okami HD now and just cleared the game's first main dungeon. It's getting better (putting aside the fact that I immediately started enjoying the game 10x more after I found out that I could disable the horrendous voices that made even the annoying nattering of Yooka-Laylee characters sound like a chorus of angels in comparison), and I'm definitely seeing why the Zelda comparisons are made so often now.

I don't care much for playing this in the dock, though. It's a little amazing to realize this is the first time the original game has officially released on a touchscreen enabled device, as this very much feels like a game designed to run on a Nintendo DS/3DS. The painting just feels... natural with the touchscreen, but very awkward with the controller or motion controls.

@Ralizah From what I understand this game feels like it ends 3 different times...

And that's a pretty big spoiler...

@Octane Well, not really.

I dont mention when. I dont mention how. All I say is, you'll enjoy it...but you'll be tired of it by the end because the game just doesn't stop.

Also, how the hell do you get arsey about spoilers from a game released in **2006**?

@Knuckles-Fajita I've played the game several times. I know what you're talking about. But it's kinda spoiling the moment for someone who openly says they're playing it for the first time.

And I disagree. Whilst the first hour is an absolute slog, the game picks up after that and gets better over time.

Careful guys. Don't discuss games on a gaming forum.

I think some people just enjoy the attention of being 'that guy' don't let others consistent misery get in the way of your own optimism.

Hell no. I'd rather be dead and forgotten than noticed by you lot. Peace and quiet.

(That's sarcasm, in case you couldn't tell. You're all lovely.)

I have an opinion. You may not like it, but it's mine. This is a place to voice that. Free internet. Get used to it.

I like to my think my lack of optimism is simply a different view point on things. For some people it's hard to always be hyped for something and always super excited for the next thing, so I don't try. I'm too laconic. I am excited for things I just...don't particularly voice that opinion. The most you get is a "That's cool" and I move on with my life until release when I will return and enjoy the experience in question.

@Knuckles-Fajita your more than entitled to your opinion feel free to voice it like we all do just saying the whole doom and gloom thing gets a bit old after a while.

There's a lot to be optimistic about with Nintendo these days just think it's important to remember that when everyone sees the same people complaining on an daily basis.

@bluemage1989 exactly! Not every post has to snarky and negative and complaining and combative. Sure not everything is perfect and always the way you want but damn find some enjoyment sometimes. I'm not some polliana always sunshine and roses type of person but just don't let EVERYTHING bother you is all I'm saying.

@bluemage1989 @redd214 Personally, I am excited about Dark Souls, and Spyro (Delays aside...) and of course, Smash Bros.

I just don't vocalise that.

@Knuckles-Fajita you should more is all we're saying. Focus more on what you like instead of constantly focusing on everything you don't

I sound like a motivational speaker lol

@redd214 You're asking a lot of someone who spent years of his life being beaten up for that you know

Wait, I thought no Spyro on Switch?

@Knuckles-Fajita That review of Ys VIII you wrote was a pleasant read. You were so positive and enthusiastic about it! There's a very pretty smile underneath that grumpy exterior, Mr. Fajita.

@Ralizah Well, Ys is a very special game.

@Knuckles-Fajita I enjoyed it, too. I wish Monolith Soft would take notes on the ways its various systems harmonize and feed into one-another.

@Ralizah When I'm doing indie impressions pieces or reviews, I tend to be a lot more articulate with how I write. The piece I did on Tiny Hands Adventure actually reached the developers, because we talk to each other a lot, and they are using it for patch improvements.

With my articles...I write it because I want to. Not because I have to, if that makes sense. If something needs praising, I will without question shower it with love.

Now I hope I dont need to add that I sent my friend a copy of Ys VIII as payment for getting me Mega Man 11
