Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

@NintendoByNature I wanted to grab Witcher, but I’ll have to wait a bit. I may grab Unravel 2 if it’s still on sale.

@HobbitGamer saw tw3 on sale for $45 so i nabbed it. Unravel was only 5 bucks i think? Heard nothing but good thing about it

It's well worth it, @NintendoByNature .... I wouldn't usually bother with NG+ after 150+ hours on a game but I have with that one

@BruceCM good to hear. I'm excited to finish axiom verge so i can jump into that( I never like playing more than 2 story driven games at a time).

Edit: and blazing chrome to the list 😋

@NintendoByNature May go by GS later today and see if there’s W3 used. Got some things to unload with the trade bump, and they have a B2G2. Might end up a straight four-for-four scenario.
If people haven’t bought everything.

With Christmas and sales, I managed to get all the 2019 games I knew I wanted that I didn't have already except Pokemon Sword.

Spyro Trilogy
Daemon X Machina
Luigi's Mansion 3
Mario & Sonic 2020
New Super Lucky's Tale

Pokemon (both versions) had stock issues which wasn't particularly surprising given the large Sun/Moon shortages in 2016. Gotten a fair amount through the first Spyro game and it's really good (didn't get to experience Crash, Spyro, FF, etc. in the 90s).

All these Sony classics coming to Switch and XB1 continues to act as a reminder of how I wish Nintendo would treat their retro library better.

@HobbitGamer yea i was going to go today while i was out with the fam at the mall, but we ended up leaving before i could look. Might grab some preowned Wii u and 3ds games though. I'd like to build up my library for those systems.

Yeah, I wouldn't play more than 2 story driven games at once, either, @NintendoByNature .... Until I'm replaying, where I can skip most of that, at least On the other hand, with something like W3, you'll probably want to take a few breaks from it, as well! At least there's plenty of us to help if you need it

@BruceCM I appreciate that. I'm sure I'll ask alot of questions being new to the series.

@Grumblevolcano
The Spryo games are freakin' awesome. I poured 40 hours into those on Switch without batting an eyelash, and I need to go back to 100% all of three of them.

I have to say the first is still my favorite. Not a fan of the skateboarding levels, which I think are only in the second one. Those are really the only thing I'm not looking forward to doing again.

Just finished up Luigi's Mansion 3. It's the first in the series I've played, and while I'm letting my thoughts on it digest, first impressions are that it was very good, but not quite up there with my favorite exclusives on the system.

Tried Spyro recently... didn’t really grab me. Seemed like a fine game and all, and I don’t regret purchasing by any means, but I wouldn’t say it’s in my top list. Which was actually surprising because I genuinely thought I was going to fall in love with it. It could also be partly due to the fact platformer‘s have been grabbing me less and less with each passing year. Nothing has repeated the magic of Rayman Legends, New Super Mario Bros U and DKC Tropical Freeze back in the U era. Tropical Freeze on Switch still kept me glued for a second playthrough, and I suppose Mario Odyssey had that magic, but aside from that it just seems they’ve been getting less interesting over the years.

Look through the official thread for the game, @NintendoByNature.... Quite a few here were also new and there's general tips from those who had played it before

@BruceCM sounds good, Thanks again!

Assassin’s Creed Rebel Collection $22.49 on Amazon Discount appears during checkout.

@JaxonH Thanks just ordered it! Add those two to the ever growing list of games I need to finish now 😂

Switch 10.0 inbound?

So, finally trying out Everspace. I like it so far. The combat is definitely fast and punishing at first. Any pointers?

@JaxonH Man, I wish I'd caught that, they sold out already. Wonder why they discounted it so heavily with so little stock... It's not even a month old, wouldn't you want it on hand?|

EDIT: And it's out of stock in my state for Target and GameStop too? Weird. Only Best Buy still has stock it seems.

@link3710 do the best buy price match
