Topic: Your Latest Switch Purchase

I had to buy a new battery for my OG Switch. It swelled up so much, it was visible through the casing on the top of the console. I had to buy a new backing for the system too. Not a fun purchase, but yeah. I guess 7 years isn't a bad lifetime for a rechargeable battery.

Lawn Mowing Simulator
Murtop
Narita Boy
ElecHead
Donut Dodo

Crow Country

Decided to grab the RetroRealm double feature bundle. I'll give Ash vs Evil Dead a go later tonight.

PO’ed: Definitive Edition
Killing Time: Resurrected

Stitch (Digital)

Well folks I just recently was gifted Zelda Echoes of Wisdom for my Switch. And I just recently Bought FC25 on the Switch. I had a bunch of digital Downloads in September.

Since their sales on the eShop are ending soon, I went ahead and bought

Shape Suitable, a game by liica, the same company that made Q Remastered and Q2 Humanity. Some of the same principles from the Q series are also here: draw on the screen so the Shapes can move an object or endure an obstacle to the red zone or to defeat an enemy without the drawing touching a Shape.

Zero the Kamikaze Squirrel: a spin-off of Aero the Acro-Bat featuring his rival Zero as playable. This re-release is based on the SNES version. Includes a new Japanese localization under the name Zero: High Flying Squirrel.

By Halloween (October 31st), I hope to get Flipon, Contra Anniversary Collection, Donut Dodo and maybe Sonic Frontiers (Digital Deluxe).
After November 1st, I plan to get Aero the Acro-Bat: Rascal Rival Revenge (a Game Boy Advance port of Aero the Acro-Bat 1 SNES).

Monster Hunter Stories
Baten Kaitos I & II
Atelier Marie Remake
SaGa: Emerald Beyond
Gungrave G.O.R.E.

A Switch SNES controller from the MyNintendo store seeing as they're back in stock! Woohoo etc!

The Smurfs - Dreams

Ace Attorney Investigations Collection - a physical Japanese copy via PlayAsia.

(And a DQ Slime cushion that houses a cute little throw blanket while I was at it!)

Just grabbed Persona 5 Royal on sale, hope to play it soon. Also picked up Oxenfree 2, I loved the first game.

I just got Vampire Survivors. At first I wasn't sure about it, but after playing more I decided to get it.

Sonic X Shadow.
Not sure how I feel about it yet. Never played generations before, so was excited, but feeling stressed now. I feel I have to get all the red rings and hidden chao before moving on to the next level, which I am finding a bit hard. If you have OCD tendancies, these type of games upset me. I recognize it is an excellent game, and runs really well on Switch though. Might need to give it more time though!

I am liking it more now. Still slightly overwhelmed as there are 10 Challenge levels per zone added in too, but thankfully they are like 2 minute levels. It really does control and perform well though. Feels so much better than the 2d or classic inspired levels from Forces and Frontiers.

Update: Well, I somehow played 7 hours today. So, I guess there is something I must enjoy about it!

Not really MY purchase but rather my brother's. Today he got Luigi's Mansion 2 HD & is allowing me to play it. After an hour or so...it still feels nothing has changed much. I've notice some parts where Luigi can zoom or look through a window or a hole, it's 60 fps in the 3DS version. But the Switch is 30fps.

Kinda weird but it's not my purchase so whatevs. At the very least I didn't buy it. But since I've the 3DS version already at this point, this will be breeze for me.

i bought echoes of wisdom release day from walmart

8BitDo Mod Kit for Original NGC Controller

https://shop.8bitdo.com/products/mod-kit-for-original-ngc

I saw this thing pop-up.

I had an old Game Cube Controller that I picked up cheap, but the joystick was completely busted, so this really caught my attention.

This Mod Kit replaces the circuit board and both joysticks and turns an old Game Cube controller into a Switch Controller, so I pre-ordered it.

I finally had a bit of time this weekend to sit down and open up the Game Cube Controller and try to install the Mod Kit.

20 minutes later I was up and running.

I was a bit nervous cutting the wires for the vibrate motor off the old circuit board. But I just followed the video / instructions and everything was very easy. For anyone doing this, I would suggest having a small pair of pliers (or tweezers) to help route the wires inside, and to don't forget to position the L and R sliders correctly when you are putting the controller back together. (I didn't check the sliders and the L and R triggers weren't working. I had to open it back up again. But easy enough to fix.)

The joysticks both click, but I don't know if that registers with the Switch. The only game I can think of that uses that (that I have) is Arms. I will try that out later.

And I haven't tried it with a racing game to see if the analog triggers are still analog and help with control with acceleration.

But it was nice playing Mario Kart with a Game Cube controller without the cable!

Oh yeah . . . for anyone with a Game Cube (or Wii with GC ports), you can get the 8BitDo Retro Receiver for NGC . . .

And use this modded NGC controller with your Game Cube wirelessly.
