Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

I really hope the release of Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition will mean a full soundtrack release like what happened with the base XC2 game and Torna.

Also, Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales is a great Switch release. A great fit for Switch (much better than Witcher 3, for example, which don’t get me wrong- it is amazing to have on handheld, but games like that are severely scaled down, whereas games like Thronebreaker are best played on Switch imo, and games like the motion bowling are a uniquely Nintendo experience).

I did notice a bit of framerate sluggishness in the overworld, but only for a few brief moments here and there... given the type of game it is it wasn’t really an issue. But after adjusting to 4K 60 on PC for over a week now, lower frame rate is starting to stand out to me a lot more. Definitely a 30fps game. In handheld mode you can’t really notice anything.

Looks good docked though. And in handheld. I don’t think I’ve ever played such a high quality card based adventure game. And I’m not talking about games like Baten Kaitos or Paper Mario that use cards in the battle system. I mean actual card based battles.

Most other games just do the card battles and that’s it. This game builds an entire adventure RPG around it. And even the battles themselves look phenomenal, as it takes place on a real battlefield with real 3D character models on screen. This is almost too perfect for handhelds. More of this, please.

@Grumblevolcano XC had a sound track, it's awesome and sitting on my shelf right now. But I don't know that it ever got a digital release.

Snack World: The Dungeon Crawl - Gold is going to be my big February purchase, I've decided. Game looks and sounds like a lot of fun!

Anyone else picking this up close to launch?

I've been keeping an eye on Snack World as it's a Level-5 property; I've liked a lot of their games that I've played. I'm not entirely convinced about it yet though. I'm hoping to read more reviews and impressions closer to its launch.

You both realize Metro Redux is coming out in February, right? Why not support triple-A instead of indie shovelware?

@SuperSpaghetti maybe just maybe, and I know this is a reach, but perhaps they just have different tastes than you

Anime game lovers don’t deserve taste.

@SuperSpaghetti
Level 5 isn't what I'd consider an "indie" company, especially with how big some of their multimedia franchises are.

exactly...and isn't level-5 a pretty big developer, Not an indie?

@SuperSpaghetti I'm not a fan of anime at all but seems juvenile and foolish to tell someone what they should and shouldn't like

They make a lot of anime and shovelware so I’d say they’re indie. Indie is mostly shovelware.

Blasphemy.

A Level-5 developed game is not shovelware.

I swear where's the mod? This guy is clearly malicious :v

It's like different people have different preferences when it comes to media, including games. This is CLEARLY a travesty. We must initialize all Sameness based off of one person's ideals at once!

GET TO THE CHOPPA!

@SuperSpaghetti
If anime games make you indie, Bandai Namco, a company that makes tens of millions of dollars every year, must also be indie because they make anime games too.

I guess that would also makes Nintendo an indie company too since they make Fire Emblem. LOL

Alright, I've seen enough.

@redd214 I'll do what I can.

@Octane you're doing great, thank you I know it's a lot but we appreciate you!!

I may break my embargo to buy it. I loved the japanese demo, so I know I want it...but my budget hng!
