Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

@link3710 I really enjoyed Alan Wake. The story delivery was like a movie, but in a storytelling way not a 'cutscenes with some gameplay' way. I'm also a fan of Twin Peaks, and the game had a similar vibe of there being something slightly offputting about the town. There was a series of shorts prior to the release, but I can't remember the name.
It's obviously not a perfect game, but it's worth a peek to see if it's up your alley.

@Magician if this is true My god

Alan Wake is pretty neat. The vibe is amazing.

That's a free Doom or Dragon Quest.

@IceClimbers ahh you beat me to it. Just checked the eshop and there it was. Used my last voucher on it.

I did yust count how many switch games I have.
More then I thought.

162
52 physical the others digital.
How many do you all have?

Demo for Ori is on the way!

33 physicals, 4 digitals (but i almost never touch those games)

Maybe it'll finally be time for me to play Ori on PC after I wrap up Daemon X Machina's main story.

Damn DxM is soo good. I need to play more of that game today.

ALSO. Last night I treated myself to an SN30Pro+, and goodness it feels great. D-Pad feels nice, build quality is superb, and it can work across EVERYTHING I have (except my PS4) - Switch, PC, and even my Android phone! Now I can FINALLY play the best versions of Sonic 1 and 2 on my phone without wanting to gouge someone's eye out.

This will be the way I play my Game Pass titles on PC since it's registered as an Xbox One controller.

@Ryu_Niiyama I want to love Ori but the opening and feeling is so depressing I never want to play the total downer of a game.

Similarly I get NNK tomorrow....but only after I ordered it did I find out the horribly depressing premise. It looked cute...but there's no way I can imagine actually playing it, knowing it'll just be depressing....

With Jedi Outcast coming on Tuesday, I sincerely hope we get some of the other classic Star Wars games over the course of next year.

If we get a Battlefront II (2005) port I'd probably cry. That's easily one of my favorite games EVER. Having that on Switch would be a dream.

GRID Autosport is fantastic. Played a bit before work this morning (around 3:45am). Cant wait to get home and play some more, and check out the Ori demo

I'm trying not to buy anything else this month with DQ and zelda on the way but I think I'm going to cave and get puzzle quest. Putting my new link amiibo on my desk at work. So he can protect me with cuteness.

@Ryu_Niiyama No! Untitled Goose Game is tomorrow, too! You have to have a honkin good time. You must.

@HobbitGamer Aww it is on my list but this is puzzle quest. Nice job on the DQ style "but thou must", however. lol!

Yeah no seriously, I'm shot this month. DQ Switch, NA copy of DQ (to show support in my region even though I'm likely going to leave it boxed), Link amiibo, Snake, Squirtle, Ivysaur amiibo, Link's Awakening LE, DxM controller and I'm getting a 20 dollar eshop card tomorrow. I have to show some restraint... I want to preorder another statue. lol.

You're happy about the D-pad right? I'm a bit hesitant. I've had negative experiences with both the d-pad of the official pro controller as with the SF30Pro. It's the infamous issue where the direction input isn't registered correctly, hence false ups and downs occur all the time. Besides that, the buttons for both feel much sturdier than the old SNES controllers (in a bad way). Since I started gaming with the (S)NES' d-pad, it's quite hard to get used to something so much less precise.

Is the Pro+ d-pad significantly different from the other 2 pro controllers?

@Ryu_Niiyama Oh yeah, I forgot you also got the actual DQ console. I picked up Astral, DxM, and two each of Link's Awakening and his adowable widdle amiibo now this month. Gift set for a friend's birthday today.
Go sell some plasma and kidneys.

@HobbitGamer Please don't say that. I passed a plasma bank yesterday and I literally slowed down because I was thinking about it. There has to be a line drawn somewhere.

Edit: I'm lucky I coudn't find Astral Chain nearby when it came out. And when DxM dropped I finally hit the timeskip for FE3H (I've been writing character studies ever since...I'm mildly annoyed that the character I expected to hate is my favorite currently) so I've been occupied with that.

@Ryu_Niiyama Hey, I never said whose plasma... I think I'm near the end of FETH now, I'm 1/4 through Astral, and I'm probably 1/4 through DxM (I started playing online for awesome parts). And I still need to finish Phoenix Wright

@HobbitGamer Wait you did all of the routes? and which Phoenix Wright? (that reminds me I still need to buy 5 in Japanese)
