Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

@BenAV Well I never played a paper mario game before this one so I wouldn't know but I wonder what I would think about it if I played TYD.

@JaxonH I hope they add one more hunt it would be amazing.

@Snatcher
I haven't played yet the Origami King.
Still haven't finished Color Splash Wii U 5 years ago. 😅
But i have finished Sticker Stars 3DS on year 2014. 😉
My impression for Sticker Star and Color Splash are 6.5 / 10.
Not really bad games but still lack of proper RPG style.
The things Summon are the Best part.
They are really like Eidolon / Aeon from Final Fantasy.
Too bad, the Things are Bosses on Origami King.

@Guest88 hah, I was wondering how long it would take for you to go full troll.

Ok everybody let's move on and forget that happened.

@Anti-Matter I think you will really like the bosses ya it sucks they couldn't be a little more original but the character itself is very memorable my fave is all of them

@Eel Having a different opinion doesn’t make me a troll. If i were a troll then I would’ve bailed away from this thread long time ago.

@Snatcher
Well... I’ve got good news for you, then. It seems they’ll be doing exactly that for the March demo (Magnamalo). But that’s still 2 months away. So for now, I’m still trying different weapons and mastering their move sets (SwitchAxe, Hunting Horn, Charge Blade seem best).

Will need to shift gears here pretty soon though. 4 solid games releasing between now and then.

Atelier Ryza
Super Mario 3D World
Bravely Default 2
Persona 5 Strikers

More than enough to stay busy til March 26th. 3 of the 4 are likely 50+ hour games. And even 3D World is what, a solid 25? I can’t remember.

@JaxonH REALLY WOOOOO, I got some games I need to beat/100% Some of them binge okami, paper mario, hades, mario plus rabbits, pokemon S.

@Snatcher
Wow, that's quite the list for 100%

I still have never played Okami beyond an hour or so. And Switch version is so good- it uses motion for brush on TV and touch in handheld. Really should prioritize that sometime.

Paper Mario I really enjoyed. One of the better games I played this year. Kinda disappointing because I know it could be so much more, but even so it was still really good. HD rumble is fantastic if using split joycon.

Same for Mario Rabbids, which is probably my 2nd favorite strategy game behind Fire Emblem. Even more than Valkyria Chronicles, XCOM 2 and Gears Tactics.

Played some of Hades and I see why people love it so much. But it wasn't really my style. Maybe I'll use the difficulty settings to help me. I just wasn't getting very far.

Really recommend Ori Will of the Wisps. Not sure why that popped into my mind just now. But it's such a great game. Never a bad time to recommend it.

@JaxonH I have no idea how long it will take for me to 100% them, for all I know I might never get to it, Okami is going to take forever, hades is also going to take a bit havnt even beaten the game yet.

@timleon @link3710 @JaxonX

By the way, I decided to just go for it and get an MClassic. I'd seen enough comparison videos where it made a pretty clear improvement, and I have enough games and systems that will benefit from it, that it seemed like a worthwhile investment.

I figured I can use it on Switch, Wii U (including Wii and Gamecube games) and then the backcompat games on the Xbox that they haven't offered higher res upgrades for (which is most X360 games).

@Dezzy That great, do let me know what you think!

Here's the cheat codes for Scott Pilgrim:

I just watched Scott Pilgrim movie yesterday. Makes the game more interesting if you've seen the movie.

@Dezzy
Right on. I've heard it said the upscale works best for 720p games and you should set your Switch to output 720p for those games, but every single one I've tried hasn't looked as good as if I left it on automatic (this was when I realized how many games run at higher resolutions than 720p).

It's basically just extra AA to smooth out micro jaggies (doesnt really work on jaggies unless it's super fine stair stepping). But that's ok. Switch needs all the AA it can get, and it does make a difference. You wont notice right away, but you'll hear others talking about aliasing in a game and you'll be like, wait... I didnt think it was that bad?

Let us know your thoughts after some use.

@Dezzy That's great, glad it worked out!

@JaxonH I was under the impression that they say it works best for 720p because that's where you see the most improvement, not because a 720p upscaled image will work better than a 900p.

@link3710
Pertaining to the upscaling feature, it can upscale to 1440p, but according to numerous reports it only works well for 720p images due to it being a perfect multiple. So games with dynamic res, they say to cap your Switch output res at 720p. But I've found that basically every game looks best if you just leave output res to Automatic. Perhaps it's because my TV upscales to 4k already? Who knows.

But ya, if you have a 4k tv that upscales already, best to leave output on Auto rather than switch back and forth to 720p on a game by game basis.

@JaxonH Huh, I would've thought it would've scaled the image down to 720p before upscaling, thus adding SSAA to the image.

I haven't played it yet but I'll grab it day one. The funny thing is, I feel like I'm supporting JaxonH more than Capcom with this game 🤣. You're their best spokesperson, and should be feeding you free copies lol.

The discussion earlier about Odyssey not feeling replayable came to mind after thinking about the fact the vast majority of mainline Mario games are on the Switch after February. The missing ones are:

• NSMB (DS)
• NSMBWii (Wii)
• NSMB2 (3DS)
• Galaxy 2 (Wii)
• 3D Land (3DS)

All of those I've replayed sometime after completion except Galaxy 2 which I would replay if it came to Switch.

@Grumblevolcano I could see myself replaying NSMB ds, 2, and land at some point. Mainly because how short the experiences are for them.. Surprisingly I've had wii forever and never completed it. I actually hooked my wii up in the basement of our new house as it's sort of our game room now. I intend to play thru it at some point in the near future along with warioland shake it
