I was lying in bed last night, and suddenly it hit me that a great name would be the Switch Advance.

Freaking excellent game. Couldn't stop playing it but forced myself to take my time. I tried to not guess words at all, but filled them when I was confident. I spent at least two hours towards the end translating the numbers, to where I could read it fluently.

@Debbiee oh yeah! Thanks for reminding me to pick up Heroes again! It's just sittin' there in it's case.

This should be against the law

I like all three this time. But NA edges them out.

@Nintendo_Thumb word.

@Frogspree lol

Woah! Yeah I definitely think they're retrofitting her to match the movie. But it's so different. Peach has a really unique look, and it's been that way for a long time. Now they're making her look more realistic, sort of. More idealistically realistic. Like an Instagram filter. Seems like they're trying to appeal to people's more natural understanding and attraction to the human face. Not a fan at all, mostly philosophically.

I was NOT expecting Disney song rock remixes

So, I'm pretty new to owning a Switch. Why could I not find speedstorm featured in some way on the eShop? I looked through all the menus, just out of curiosity, and it wasn't listed anywhere. I had to search to find it. Shouldn't it be elevated somewhere?

One of the best shows ever made

@Rainz thanks for your response. I hope you're right, but I'm much more pessimistic about Nintendo right now. I guess we'll see soon enough.

@Rainz if Iwata were still in charge, I'd agree with you. But since he passed, Nintendo has become extremely profit centered. Innovation is not at all important to them anymore, I feel. If we still had Iwata, I'd bet that VR would be next. But now I'm betting it's simply a Switch 2.

@michaelf same! I'm hoping for the Nintendo Super Switch

So let's just say it's literally just a more powerful Switch. What would you want it to be called?

Should I try out MK Tour again? I wasn't super impressed the first time, but maybe it's improved?

Aw man I loved the original so much. The only shooter I've ever gotten into other than TF2. Ridiculously, obscenely underrated. Maybe it's time for me to invest in 3.

@Rooty haha glad to have helped!

@Ningygamer how's Indiana Jones?

@Rooty you're playing the first Blasphemous. A couple of tips. You'll find shortcuts throughout the world. If you can push forward in whatever direction you're going until you find one back to the base, instead of back tracking and then needing to go back again. My other suggestion is do not go up the snowy mountain first. Wait until later because the boss up there is easily 10x harder than all of the others and you might rage before you've seen most of the game.

Star Ward: The Clone Wars for GameCube

Alright here goes. Mine is probably a DOS game. Probably point and click. Definitely top down. You're a citizen of Ancient Rome or Greece, I believe. At the beginning, I think you wake up somewhere naked, and you pass by an outdoor swimming pool where someone is swimming. His toga is on the ground, so you pick it up and wear it. That's all I remember haha. But I've been looking for years. Have spent so much time on Google and Moby Games. I posted it to the subreddit too, years ago, but they couldn't solve it.

@Joeynator3000 Quest 64?

@-wc- I'm curious about Solar Flare but can't find it. Have a link I can see?

@EarthboundBenjy oh my gosh! Castle of the Winds has been one of mine too! Until now! This is crazy. I also was thinking of this pretty recently and noted that, in retrospect, it was definitely a rogue like. I knew nothing of the sort when I played in, probably, the mid 90s. But I've always remembered it fondly. My memory was ok on it. "The sleep that looked like a snake" always stood out to me. I cannot believe that I'm scrolling through this thread and one of the games mentioned is one of my own lost to time. Thanks so much haha!

@Taya that sounds dope!

@BreathingMiit do you think you would feel better if they had titled it differently? Like Might and Magic Puzzles, or Ashan: Clash of Heroes?

@BreathingMiit it was made for DS. It wasn't ported to mobile until four years later.

I. Absolutely. Love. This. Game. I've completed it multiple times, and I own every version. I'm looking for people to play with online. Please hit me up. My friend code is SW-6529-6262-2997

This is actually really tough. But at the same time Star Fox, obviously.

Woah! Was not expecting this. I have it for GBA, and I've started it three times, but I never got far. The limited TP exploring is very stressful, and making the wrong choice of failing a QTE can be significantly detrimental. I also find the degrading weapon system exhausting, and the battles are way way too long. I love this game in theory but do not enjoy actually playing it.

Daisy Cruise for sure. One of my favorite Double Dash!! courses.

That's dumb, just really dumb

@Bret that's great! It does look super good and I'd love to play it.

@TheExile285 Word. I recommend them. And then Guns of the Patriots. Phantom Pain is super fun but literally does not have a story, which is crazy. I'm debating whether or not to play this Snake Eater remaster or to wait for the full remake. It's one of the very very few games I've played more than once, and I'll play it again, but I might as well play he fancy new version.

@Bret How much would/will you pay for the new Warioware?

@TheExile285 Have you had a chance to play any of the MGS games?

@shgamer I've been saying for months and months that Switch 2 or whatever would launch this holiday. (And before that, I thought it would launch with Zelda.) Now I'm confident it will not launch this year. A 2D Mario flagship title was the last thing I expected, but I still think it's all they've got for this year. 2D Mario is definitely not my thing at all. But maybe then Metroid Prime 4 and Odyssey 2 will launch with their next console.

@Wheatly I was NOT expecting a 2D Mario to be there flagship game this holiday.

For me, this was yet another reminder that I really don't need a Switch. I've never liked 2D Mario games, but I'd be all about that if it were 3D. The whole time, I was thinking, "man, I wish this were 3D." I played and loved Pikmin 3, but I don't feel motivated to play 4 at all. Looks like the same, I guess, and I can't imagine dropping $60 for it. Very few of the 3rd party games excite me, with three exceptions. Penny's Big Breakaway is the obvious game of the Direct for me. 3D platformers are possibly my favorite genre. The next is Star Ocean. I never got around to playing them, and this remake looks awesome. The last is Metal Gear. I love all three, but Snake Eater is possibly my favorite game ever. Definitely was not expecting that. All three of these games are coming to other consoles, and Switch is easily the worst option to me.

@johnvboy me too. Was it not that way in BoTW? I'm sure it was.

@Debbiee sure thing! I played for an hour this morning and had the time of my life. It is on PC also, on Epic Games Store if you have one lying around. I imagine the requirements are pretty low. Oh! It's on GeForce Now also. You'd need to buy the game on Epic, but you could play it on (almost) any computer, tablet, or phone. I can tell you that GeForce Now does play smoothly, from personal experience.

@WreckitRyan What in the world is this ZL thing people keep talking about!?

@Debbiee I feel you. If you haven't heard of it, you might really like Tchia. I'm playing it now and am astounded every minute. It's not sure Switch though

@Debbiee it's a very different game to Breathe of the Wild. It's taken me a long time to comes to terms with it.

Tell me more about this ZL to flatten business...

Europe. This is an easy one.

I have a dumb question. Have that still not fixed the drift yet? Are they selling the same broken hardware in a different color?

@Astral-Grain hey thanks for the explanation. It's been a few years since I've played, but my thumbs apparently remember quick tapping the dpad to unequip weapons. Because I keep doing it and nothing happens haha.
