Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

@Electricmastro2 There are 15,000 games so there are a lot of most things!

Truly the Switch is living in a golden age of Lego.

I was like this with the wii u when the Switch came out as so many Switch games were just ports from wii u and I didn't like the joycons for controlling games either attached or forming a joystick. Wii u felt better controlling games so I was a later buyer of the Switch 1. The only issue I guess is RAMageddon where Switch 2 prices and other hardware prices may be going up so Switch 2 will become even more expensive in the coming months. I played the demo f Donkey Kong Bonanza on my Switch 2 and felt like it was a good game but not a great game and never worth the £60 they are charging. A lot of pricing on Switch 2 is ridiculous. Fallout 4 Anniversary for £60 when the Creation content is pretty much worthless and the only difference with the game of year edition you can get for £9 on PC.

As a portable console I still find I'm taking my Switch Lite out with me more. It's smaller, the battery lasts longer and it feels more comfortable in the hand. I'm using the Switch 2 almost exclusively as a portable but just around the house really. I think my favourite Switch console is still the Switch Lite to be honest just because its a much better portable console and the screen looks fantastic, better than Switch 2 to be honest.

This was the saving grace of not upgrading at that time, along with having somehow been able to keep three different Wii U games for my backlog all the way until 2018. (BOTW, Deus Ex, Tokyo Mirage Sessions)

Played through DoDonPach DaiOuJou Blissful Death yesterday which is a super-great experience after the disappointment that is Triggerheart Exelica. So I fired up Kowloon Highschool Chronicle for the first time. And...what is the game? Dungeon crawler / adventure / visual novel / relationship sim...all rolled into one game?

It's a bit much.

Is this game actually good:

@Magician
Wait, is there more than one Dodonpachi CAVE shmup available on Switch now?

@JaxonH There is a Japanese-only one, Dodonpachi DaiOuJou Blissful Death Re:Incarnation.

I believe 4, 5, and 6 are on Switch now.

DaiOuJou
Resurrection
SaiDaiOuJou

@Magician
Can't find DaiOuJou but I did find the otjer 2. Already owned Resurrection.

@FishyS
Oh it's JP only. Is that the good one or one of those mobile game versions?

Below is an image of Rouge, one of the new Goddess characters in the upcoming mainline Neptunia game, Neptunia Unlimited, which comes out on both Switch 1 and 2 (as well as PS4 and PS5) on August 27th, 2026 in Japan (no conformation of an American release yet, though whether it will release on the current Nintendo of America platform, which has canceled many game releases like Neptunia since the fall of 2024, is debatable). She's based on the Nintendo Switch, which is why I am sharing her here. I might dump some gameplay footage photos JaxonH style later if I have the time.

Alright, here's that photo dump: there is so much interesting stuff about this game:

You can transform into a goddess while exploring and when you do so, you can fly around the world map, which looks... openworld, maybe?
Action combat is back just like the more recent spin-offs, and since you can fly as a goddess, you can do some aerial combat, a series first. The aerial combat looks incredible, and it blew my mind when I watched it in the trailer.
Also, while I'm not a graphics snob, I have to admit, the graphics look amazing, the Neptunia games have definitely gotten more graphically advanced over the years.

Well, I'm back playing GO VACATION to level up my character until level 99.

Just took a glance at upcoming physical releases, looking for a diamond in the rough.

Kusan: City of the Wolves looks like a nice Hotline Miami clone.
