Another Code: Recollection is AWESOME! I finally found a used copy of it last week, and I just finished the first game. Had an absolute blast. I know it's a super niche title, but it's just the right kind of adventure game I like: not hard, so I can focus on the story instead. It was a refreshing 8 hours after playing some tough platformers for a few weeks prior.
A bunch of cool-looking Indie Horror games are releasing on Switch this month. Crow Country, Faith, and Slay The Princess. Also, Amanda The Adventurer is coming to consoles. So that's neat. As a horror fan. I'm eating well this month.
And they're all overwhelming positive on Steam. So that's a plus.
I was re-watching the NX reveal trailer last night on YouTube. People commenting how they were 11 when Switch released, now they're 18, that kinda thing. These people have had Switch for nearly half their lives. I envy the adolescent years they got with this little beauty.
You guys had me at blood and semen.
What better way to celebrate than firing something out of the pipe?
@gcunit My adolescent years were with the Gamecube, GBA and DS - I don't envy them at all
That said, Switch is now firmly my favourite console of all time, and probably has been since...2018 or so? I'm quite grateful that the industry can continue to one-up itself and pleasantly surprise me decades into my passion for the hobby. Who knows what my next favourite will be. Let's hope the Switch 2 can live up to its predecessor.
I finally get to play the X Cup in F-Zero X again (this time in the NSO version)! Already came across a crazy track where 29/30 players fell off the track.
It’s kind of depressing how there’s always one or two new AI-generated visual novels every time I check the new releases section of the eshop.
Add to that the usual Ultra Ultimate Deluxe Complete editions of the same ten or so games that constantly get re-released, and the three or four “sexy” dating sims/puzzle games.
Anything worthwhile gets so drowned in the slop, it must be rally discouraging for actual devs.
@Eel
I was wondering what the hell are those games when I browsed from Switch eshop. 😆
They were literally scam with AI image and Ultra Ultimate Deluxe etc edition.
@Eel It was already hard to sort through good versus junky visual novels a couple years ago, so the new AI ones making it even harder is pretty depressing. Even half of the H-games are AI generated now which makes them even more slop than they were. We just have to hope Switch 2 will add some type of game or publisher rating system or some other way to have better discoverability for good games.
So I was gonna get Sonic x Shadow Generations on Switch, because portable Generations sounds neat.
But we haven't actually seen footage of the game (which after Forced and Frontiers were rough I have my doubts about Shadows side) and after the Wii title Sonic Colours came over somehow even worse than the other botched releases, I haven't much faith in the Sonic side either.
And then there's the fact that despite the £54.99 edition on other systems having the actual release date of October 22nd, the Switch version still launches on October 25.
And that's just plain weird. Everything about this release on Switch is giving major red flags which is bizarre given Sonic usually sells best on Nintendo systems.
@Grumblevolcano That explains some of it. But it's only the Switch version that doesn't get the early release.
So it could be a twofold thing. Sony knows it's gonna sell best on Switch, try and hamper it. We know they've done that thanks to that good old Capcom leak and the dealings with keeping Monster Hunter away for a while.
Now Playing: Mario & Luigi Brothership, Sonic x Shadow Generations
Now Streaming: The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom
I have been playing Faith: The Unholy Trinity and Crow Country. Both are solid horror games, especially Crow Country. The atmosphere is superb, and the graphics look toy-like, almost like a dream. Faith has that hidden lore I love to look for. I'm glad these games were ported to the Switch so I could try them out.
The Harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. When the going gets tough, the tough gets going.
A post over on the unpopular opinions thread got me thinking about series which sold 'best' on Switch. Since Switch is (essentially) the best selling console, it makes sense there are a lot, but there are some major exceptions.
Nintendo series where the top-selling game of the series is the Switch version:
Mario Kart
Animal Crossing
3D Zelda
Smash
3D Mario
Mario Party
Splatoon
Luigi's Mansion
Mario Golf
Mario Tennis
Kirby
Metroid
Fire Emblem
Pikmin
Xenoblade
Clubhouse Games
Series where a Switch game exists but isn't the best seller:
Sports (Wii/Switch)
Pokemon
2D Mario
fitness games
Brain age
2D Zelda
Mario Strikers
Mario and Sonic
Donkey Kong
Yoshi
Warioware
Big Brain Academy
Tomodachi
Of course a few big series like Nintendogs, Mario baseball, star fox, rhythm heaven, warioland, etc. simply aren't on Switch.
