Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

Sometimes I wonder what this thread has become and remember that yes, humans are indeed humans. Illogical, irrational and opinionated 😂😂

I need to play more of my huge backlog in this system.

And I mean huge

@Slowdive I have 17...8? Games on my Switch (it's my third personal system, 6th I've bought overall) and of that I've beaten...maybe 50-60 games?

Yeah it's bad.

@Haruki_NLI I think some people on here have a much bigger backlog. ;p

I've got a backlog of 20-30ish games but it's mostly indie games like Horace, Flipping Death, Limbo etc I stockpile during sales so I can play them later. A couple of regular posters buy like 3-5 games every week, they must have a backlog of hundreds at this point.

I only have a backlog of like nine or ten games...

@jump @Slowdive Astral Chain, DQXIS, Builders, Octopath, FFU/10/X2/12, Hat in Time, DOOM 2-64, GRIP, Undertale, Pokemon Snap, Monster Hunter Rise, Crysis....

Yeah not much 🤣 downside of working so many hours in retail, streaming games in the evening daily, running a business and being a carer.

@Slowdive It's on my list and I'm looking forward to it but I've not even got the spaces on my Switch for it at the moment.

Bloody DOOM Eternal, WWE 2K18, Borderlands and Mortal Kombat take up loads of space on mine and all of them get played once in while so I only tend to play one solo game at a time before I complete and delete them, I actually prefer it that way rather than trying to complete a dozen games at the same time. I've currently got Cuphead to finish off first before I play my next indie plus I'm also playing Pokemon Snap whilst shouting at the game for having stupid challenges!

@Slowdive Yeah I find that I can't spend much time on just pleasure gaming. Did a bit when my hours at work got cut lately but beyond that it's hard. Can't say I'm shocked.

And I have holiday from the 10th of June but that's E3 streaming and such, and Ratchet and Clank time.

Then July will likely add Ys to the mix.

Decided the next RPG I stream will be Final Fantasy 4 which I bought...er...7 years ago now?

@Slowdive Why the hell did we even get Crysis Remastered if we just get a trilogy?!

@TheJGG Apparently they are available seperately.

Are the Crysis games actually any good? I've always heard about how amazing the first one was graphically but I haven't heard anything else of them.

@Slowdive I see, I guess I'll be starting with the first one then whenever the time comes! I feel like the shooter genre is something that I haven't really gone deep into on my switch. I've only ever played three Doom games and Splatoon 2 (all of which I really enjoy) so I'll probably get all the Crysis games in the future if I enjoy the first one enough. I also feel like I need to try a resident evil game at some point

Crytek have said the there are no plans for a physical Switch version, but they are planning something else for Switch in a couple of weeks! Whatver that means.

@GrailUK It's a nice way of saying eshop only.

Or there's a Crysis amiibo and scanning it unlocks the entire game! ;p

@jump Haha, I was thinking of DLSS improvements for the Pro but, yes...yes you are right. We are getting an Amiibo aren't we. That gives you a Metroid gun or something.

@Vortexeo
They're fun for a playthrough or two if you enjoy most FPS games.

Personally I'd take DOOM and/or Wolfenstein to scratch a quick single-player FPS itch, but the Crysis games are very polished and a solid franchise to turn to.

So... I liked Crysis on Switch, but I couldn’t play it because the gyro sucked. It was just... horribly done.

The two key reasons I buy my games on Switch whenever possible is 1) Hybrid advantage- why buy a TV only version when I can get one that does tv, handheld and tabletop, but also 2) Gyro- which is not offered on other consoles (though it is able to be mapped in Steam for most games without issue, so that’s where I buy games that I’m 100% certain will never come to Switch).

Crysis still had the hybrid advantage, and that’s nice, but without proper gyro it doesn’t really do me any good. Because I just don’t want to play it at all without proper Gyro.

Here’s to hoping they do the gyro correctly this time. I’ll definitely be a little more hesitant before buying than I was with the first. I’ll need to hear some feedback first confirming the Gyro is well implemented.

TRIALS RISING ON ESHOP FOR $5.99 Jaxon’s Stamp of Approval means you know you’re getting a quality game 😉

@NeonPizza
I know what you mean. I did the same thing for DBFZ and Samurai Showdown. Knowing full well I wasn’t going to come back to them. Idk. I think it’s just the idea of having a complete game for posterity- I tend to buy season passes and stuff for games so I have everything. Maybe it’s just that mindset of wanting the complete roster.

I wish Ultra SF IV would come to Switch. I like that one a lot- certainly more than V. And it could run easily, too. It had a 3DS version for goodness sakes. I mean, I love my USFII but still, SFIV had such a large roster and much better art style and gameplay. The new one just cheeses everything so average players can feel good.

@JaxonH I love fighting games alot, And I don't really play DBZ Fighter's that much, learn'd my bread and butter, But Its not the kind of game I'm going to be playing all the time, But it was my first 2d fighting game, I got it first on the ps4, and I had to get it on switch, The Ult ver was only 20 bucks, So now I only play it when i'm in the DBZ mood, and it works.

@Slowdive Never got itno SF V bc I don't play on my switch anymore, In fact I have not gotten into any SF game, I have yet to get the collection, any day now LOL, But if STV did come on the switch I would learn how to play it.

Street fighter 4. Super street fighter 4. Super street fighter 4 arcade edition. Super street fighter 4 AE 2012. Ultra street fighter 4 and ultra street fighter 4 omega edition was the main reason I bought a PS3. I spent countless hours online.
Same with ps4 and street fighter 5.

@JaxonH Did you end up buying Plants vs Zombies Battle for Neighborville? It's gyro implementation is arguably one of the better ones I've seen on Switch, with multiple options in the settings to customize it to your liking.
