@AaronElWhite I think there is suppose to be a song featured by A Short Hike's composer. I also found it chill while flying with the seagulls over the ocean.
@AstroTheGamosian it sounds like that's the plan with the dlc coming out later on. I know there is a churro mini game coming out maybe in October and after that at some point Zelda inspired dungeons.
Not sure how much it will add but still not bad for a light indie game.
@JohnnyMind it appears from their discord page that they're in the process of patching the game. The Switch version is taking longer to patch. Sounds like it needs to go through approval process from Nintendo or something like that.
I backed this on KS and have been playing it for a few days. Is it perfect? No. Is it a nice chill game? Yes. It's still an interesting indie game with more stuff coming out in the way of dlc.
I feel that the game is about the journey for Mika. The technical hiccups could be fixed in time and there is going to be more for the game to come in the future. But still a game I enjoyed.
Would be nice if they cared and fixed these issues. I wonder if Pandemic Studios was still around if The Pandemic Collection would have been a thing. Possibly Battlefront I and II, LOTR Conquest and The Saboteur in a collection.
If Battlefront becomes playable online then I will play it more. The buffering cutscenes in Battlefront II single player is also annoying. This is also why I didn't pick up the Star Wars collection on Switch. I don't trust Aspyr with how this collection has been handled.
It would be nice to play this and Phantasy Star Online 2 with English text. The Sega revival could bring more PSO games to Switch and other platforms. I also find it weird that Mother 3 doesn't have an English text option but they're releasing Mother 3 plushies.
It's neat but the plushie sales might be higher if the game is localized.
I'm a bit confused by this. Wouldn't it make more sense to port over RockSmith or do something similar so players can use actual instruments?
I occasionally play it as a warm up. It's great for strumming speed, slides, learning other techniques and the in game tuners isn't that terrible. You also get to switch between guitar and bass.
"I misinterpreted the rules!" Is this the future slogan for ESports? Cheating to win is never acceptable. If YouTube wants to make a slightly different punishment for minors, fine. It should still be at least a 6 month ban.
Content Creators are important to YouTube but they are also setting the example for their audience. If they are caught cheating, making a stereotypical statement or promote violence then that user should be dealt with the severity of the issue.
Hopefully the kid learns his lesson and stops cheating. Maybe he can play games for fun and figure out another path in life.
Hopefully we get Roshi, Launch, Kefla, Bulma(possibly in the robot suit), Oolong and Puar(a shape shifting duo could be interesting) or Shu,Mai and Emperor Pilaf.
I'm not mad about the framerates or the fact I can't adjust the brightness in game. I am however having a difficult time with the the controls. I'm stuck trying to open Amanda's puzzle box. It doesn't seem to rotate the mechanism down.
@Anti-Matter I think this would be closer to a building simulator game like The Sims, any Lego building game, Constructor HD, Tropico or even Sim City with some Spore flair to it.
Im glad I didnt buy this on the WiiU since the 1&2 bundle was hard to find and I had little system memory. At least I can remedy this now for Switch. I already have a 120gb microsd card so I should be set either way.
I hope I can find this special edition. I always love steelbox cases and extra goodies.
Well that sucks. I was going to get Rime but the jumpy framerate will definitely take me out of the world. Im not sure if it can be patched and this was a game I was looking forward to play. Oh well there is always another game to play.
Why not just hold the joy con each hand? The right joy con will be used for actions similar to the wiimote while the left could be use for movement, lock on, qte moves (with the right joy con) and camera reset. The directional buttons could used for taunts.
I hope other control options are available like pro controller and grip option for players that only want to play using that style.
I trust Suda51 will not make the control gimmicky. They felt normal and were quite humorous at times.
I haven't had time to break out my chess set because of my job. So this is the next best thing if I want to play when Im home. I will definitely check this out!
@NinjaBadger Done! Hopefully that will get the ball rolling. I did send some links of players demanding the game as well. I really want this to happen.
If anyone wants to sign it. Not sure if I can promote a petition on here. But if this is a problem then remove my comment.
This game would be awesome to take on the go. I wouldn't mind having more fighting games on The Switch. I just hope this happens and that we will get some great horror games.
I could see the final boss being a playable character. Im not sure if the hedlok finisher will be available to the player since it might be overpowered. The duration could be cut in half. Who knows I guess we will find out when the dlc is announced.
Can we just have a service similar to Club Nintendo? My Nintendo has some neat wallpaper but using game currency for 30% off is lame. How is that a reward?
@SirRandall What controller styles have you tried and characters have you played as? You also have one more weekend to give this a try. If you still hate it then don't buy it.
I had fun with the TestPunch and hopefully we will see a different stage or game mode next TestPunch.
Shenmue hd (possibly 1+2) Jet Grind Radio Super Monkey Ball Crazy Taxi Golden Axe Altered Beast General Chaos (doubt it will happen since EA published it and Game Refuge developed it) House of the Dead Total War Yakuza(doubt any of these games will make it to the Switch but I would buy them if they did)

I actually have this issue with my original gray joycons and yellow joycons. I might send them in if this is the case.

What buttons am I suppose to use?
Re: Nintendo Announces New Joy-Con Colours Coming In October
I love the new colors. I'm just worried about joycon drift. I already have two pairs I need to fix. I will try contact cleaner and a toothbrush first.

Re: The Story Of Gorogoa, One Of The Switch's Most Intriguing Indie Titles Yet
This game looks interesting. It reminds me of Professor Layton. Some of unusual concept puzzles should feel familiar while playing this game.

Re: Mario And Link Themed Micro SD Cards Are On The Way For Your Switch
So are parents incapable of using google, asking forum groups questions or afraid to speak to retail employees about compatible microsd cards?
If the packaging is the only thing different then its lame. How about some dlc costumes, or the card comes with Legend of Zelda/Super Mario Kart?
Re: Chess Ultra to Make Its Move on Nintendo Switch Later This Year
So its chess porn...
I guess I will buy it.
Re: Switch Could Get Kingdom Hearts III, But Only After Announced Versions Are Released
If it releases for Switch in the future I would buy it again for portability.

If it happens great if not I will still buy the game when it comes out.
Re: Tingle Shocked Zelda: Breath of the Wild Designer Right Down To Her Bones
@ToneDeath that is spot on! I love Blackadder. My favorite episode would have to be the one with The "Scottish Play".
Tingle doesn't bother me. He is a tad goofy and loves adventures. Maybe he just wants to be The Hero of Time.
