Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

Don't think Dark Souls is my type of game honestly.

Anyways I've got about $16 worth in gold points that don't expire until sometime next year but not sure what to put it towards. Got a bit of a backlog going too so I'm not in a huge rush to buy anything right now either

@IceClimbers Save it in case Smash Ultimate gets DLC maybe?

Dark Souls is fantastic. It's literally a 3D Castlevania, how can you not like that????

@Tsurii Got Hollow Knight when it went on sale a while back. That's part of the backlog lol. RE Revelations 2 on Switch and Spider-Man on PS4 are what I'm playing through now.

@Grumblevolcano That's a good idea. Might do that. Also considering putting it towards Mega Man 11 though.

Shovel looks cute, but untill I can get it for less than $17 used......it ain't THAT cute.

So it looks like another video game developer has bit the dust with Telltale Games filing for bankruptcy. I am actually rather shocked by this news. I didn't realise things were that bad for them especially as how series' like The Walking Dead, Batman etc seem to do so well for them.

@ReaderRagfish They laid off everyone apart from 25 to finish The Walking Dead season and all projects have been cancelled. Some sites are reporting they have gone under but others are merely saying lay offs so perhaps I jumped the gun, though I doubt they will be around much longer regardless.

Of course you realize that on a Xbox or Playstation controller the button in that position is "A" or "X" and is generally the 'confirm' button, while B/O is where Nintendo has the A button, and is typically the cancel button. Right?

Daily drop has arrived. And I'm happy to report Banner Saga only needs the 3rd game downloaded. First 2 are on cart. Was worried they'd only put one of them on cart. Saves space versus all 3 digital.

4.3gb update So not only is it super tiny, it's an update rather than a download code. Meaning the 3rd game comes with the cart to any other system. It's not a one use thing.

I am very, very pleased.

Gutted yo hear about the closure of TellTale games and that we likely eomt see the conclusion of the Walking Dead series.

Oh man, this game looks incredible. Marble Madness in 2018. Like Art of Balance level of polish, but in the Super Monkey Ball genre.

And goodness knows I've been waiting for Super Monkey Ball to return.

This though? Oh ya. This'll do.

@Tsurii Oh there's quite a few indie games that I could get for free or for only a few dollars using all of those gold points. Undertale or Hyper Light Drifter for example. Just a matter of which one I want to bite on or if I want to use those points as a discount for one of the bigger games like DB FighterZ or Diablo or Mega Man 11 ($14 for a new Mega Man game is pretty tempting!)

@IceClimbers If you're looking for a great indie game, I can't recommend The Messenger highly enough. Superb game. A proper platformer, ala Shovel Knight which the Switch doesn't really have too many of. Feels great to control, looks great, sounds amazing and is a fairly lengthy adventure. I've put in over 20 hours so far.

Best indie platformer on Switch,bar none!

@IceClimbers Hyper Light Drifter is gooood!

I’m not mad that Capcom is porting the first 3 gyakuten saiban games to switch but I was hoping for the last 3 and maybe dai 1 and 2. They already put the 123 collection on 3ds so this isn’t new work. I’ll pick it up when it gets cheap, as at this point I only want it for the tv play. I hope they surprise us with more though.

I think they could at least start adding the fourth game to these collections.

@JaxonH I'm watching that marble game like a hawk lol

So anyone tried this game yet? Hover. For Switch. Is it good?

That new Pokémon that’s been leaked/shown looks like someone stuck a nut and a piece of wire into silly putty. Not saying that it worse than other previous designs, but it’s definitely not as charming as say Klefki, Ditto, Vanilite’s line, etc imo. It doesn’t rub me the right way.

I mean I think voltorb and its evo are dumb. Perhaps a better way of putting it would be that it just doesn’t seem cute to me. Ditto is pile of slime but is atleast cute to me.

I’ll probably get used to it.
