Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

@Kova Hang on a minute, are you saying that the three underrated masterpieces that are the Philips CD-I Zelda games do not count? How could you say such a thing!?

@FragRed

Yeah, when the Zelda encyclopedia fails to mention those CD-I masterpieces then you know that's a bit of gaming history Nintendo would rather forget.

@rallydefault Yep. Some of the best games around. I fulled played thru sands of time when it came out. I played the next one but never finished it. If it comes to switch I'll grab it instantly

So there might be a nintendo direct soon, wonder if they will annouce NSO gameboy , alot of games on gameboy i would ike to play.

Would be interesting to see if such a collection would have Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow.

@eChameleon They'd rather you spend $60 on Let's Go.

I would like to see the Autumn updates for ACNH.
From what i heard from Data Mining, there will be some crops such as Wheat, Tomato, Carrot, etc.
If the leak was true, i have 1 vacant spot on my island to become a farm field to grow the vegetables.

@HobbitGamer Hah, joke's on them, some retailers have both Let's Go games marked down to $50.

@Anti-Matter what's Data Mining?

Yeah, I got Let's Go Eevee for $48 with GCU, and Let's Go Pikachu just recently for $50.

@Ninfan
I copied the answer from Google.

"Game data mining is the process of reading data files released by game developers, to try to find new updates or features coming to a game. It can be a pretty complicated process, as the data is written in code, meaning only some people can understand it."

@eChameleon i never played pokemon, was alot older when it was released.

Data mine when send Cousin Boiko to find trekking star metal man. This man, he hide deep in golem caves. Take Boiko many times with missing hands. Family laugh, Boiko not much.

One more week until we feast!

But I’m still setting my table with a salad fork just in case Nintendo decides to dispense more war rations.

So I'm looking for some advice on xenoblade Chronicles. I've been trying to 100% it as I do with most games.

I haven't needed to grind hardly at all outside of the challenge quests where you have to defeat certain enemies. You get XP for doing quests too obviously, so by doing all the side quests I have managed to attain a high enough level to dispatch the enemies required so far throughout the game. A couple of times now I felt I was at the end of the game but my gem crafting rank ability and the arts level/ability to increase the arts rank has been a bit of a give away that theres still a lot more game to come. But now I'm at a point I'm not as sure.

Well, if you really mean the Bionis Interior, that is the final dungeon, @Tangerine .... I'm not sure as I'd done everything I'd wanted before that but I think you can reload your save after beating the game to tidy up side-quests! On the other hand, you'd probably want to do as many things as possible before beating the boss. Some of the side-quests seemed intended to be done after that, so that may be the ones you're saying you're so under-levelled for

@BruceCM Hmm. Makes sense. So if you say those quests are meant for end game/post final boss if I were to grind first to lvl 90ish to tackle them first would I just stream roll final boss and make it unthrilling?

Well, I don't know which side-quests you have left to do but if they're that much above your level, they're probably the ones I probably won't bother with, @Tangerine .... If you want to check your levels for the story boss, that's easily found? Maybe keep a save from this point just in case, then carry on & see how it goes!

@BruceCM Good plan. I think I just scared myself with the sword valley collectable fiasco and was worried something similar may happen. But yeah you are right. I just need to get out of my bad habit of always saving over just one autosave space! Thanks for the help

Can't believe I'm almost finished. What a great game! Can finally move onto paper mario though. Unless I build up colony 6 fully and grind, grind, grind to get from level 73 to 90 :S

@Tangerine I'm not the expert - I only just finished the game myself for the first time the other day - but I don't think it's a spoiler to say that a "new game+" option is in there and lets you re-start the game from the beginning with the levels you left off on (although I'm never starting one so I don't know exactly what else does and doesn't carry over).

My impression is that the New Game+ option is intended for those who want to 100% the game (but if you've sunk 50+ hours trying to 100% it first time around you might not fancy spending another 100 hours however great a game it is).
