It's not worth it, simply due to price. The thing almost never went under $350 at retail, and secondhand prices have jumped to there and beyond for the most part. I still kinda want one, so I've been keeping an eye out.
@aznable I won't deny its jankiness, but its scope and combat were a blast. And Everspace is fun, but I need some Privateer/Elite style love on my Switch. Even if it is janky.
@ferryb001 1/2 genie is the one I didn't like also. Love the rest of the series tho, including Seven Sirens. Found Seven Sirens to be much better than 1/2 Genie.
Switch: Slowly picking away at Rises 5 and 6 star ranks. Maybe some Void Terrarium too. On PC: Trials of Fire baby! An amazing mash of D&D, Slay the Spire, and board game style combat. Other than that, some Marvel United and One Deck Dungeon in the non digital game realm.
They're my comfort food. They can be quick or long played. Always different, but familiar, hard as balls, but so rewarding when you finally get a good run. Man, I love rogues so much.
@GhostGeneration Spelunky is my desert isle game. Been playing it since 2009. Loved every version. You're in for a treat. And when isn't it time for roguelikes/lites? Never.
@GhostGeneration As an enormous Spelunky fan, who has sunks hundreds of hours into the first, and close to a hundred into the second, I'm both hopeful for and scared of a shadow drop. As for IR and Dig, amazing games. My head has been into MH Rise lately, and not much else. Been playing a lot of board games with the kiddo, and one deck dungeon by myself.
Just give me Halo (with firefight) on switch. Digital or cart, not gamepass. That's all I want. Any Halo through 3 and ODST. Gimme. Please. Game pass would be nice, but yeah, just gimme Halo please.
Mainly Rise, with some Republic Commando thrown in. On PC, probably some Loop Hero or Valheim if I get the time. Want to play a few rounds of One Deck Dungeon with my kid too.
@The__Goomba Yeah, I've seen two analysis say its running at a steady 30fps, so these folks I see complaining must be World folks. Which is funny, because that game couldn't keep a constant 60fps for awhile after release.
It's a pretty fun game. Kept the boys and I entertained for a month. Haven't been back in a bit though, as I was waiting for some of the updates. Good to see its on the home stretch. Might double dip, if others in my group do.
Some Plants vs Zombies for me. Really solid port, with a ton of content, great offline support (there's even bot matches!), and the charm the series is known for. I'll also dabble in some Roundguard, and Void Terrarium. On PC: Loop Hero and Valheim.

Re: Space Commander: War And Trade Will Boldly Go Onto Switch In May
Just gimme a Darkstar One port to scratch my Elite fix. I will look into this though, it sounds decent on paper, but some reviews are pretty harsh.
Re: Oddventure Is A New EarthBound And Undertale-Inspired RPG Coming To Switch In 2022
Love the setting, will keep an eye out.
Re: Reminder: The Entire Shantae Series Is Now Available On The Nintendo Switch

Re: 'Buildings Have Feelings Too' Is A City Management Game Where You Play The City
Looks cool, will look at some reviews.
Re: The Local Switch Release Of Fighting EX Layer: Another Dash Has Been Delayed
@YANDMAN Hey! Don't you out logic my crap-post answer/joke! That's against internet rules!
Re: Feature: Intriguing Switch eShop Games That Caught Our Eye - 21st April
Devil Slayer is leaving e.a. on that day, FYI. So it isn't an unfinished game releasing. Also, they plan a lot of post launch support.
Re: The Local Switch Release Of Fighting EX Layer: Another Dash Has Been Delayed
@YANDMAN everything.
Re: Konami EspaƱa Hints At More Switch News To Come
@IronMan30 This. Just pack in as many as possible. And some Bloody Roar.

Obligatory Card Fighters Clash port beg.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (April 16th)
Switch: Slowly picking away at Rises 5 and 6 star ranks. Maybe some Void Terrarium too. On PC: Trials of Fire baby! An amazing mash of D&D, Slay the Spire, and board game style combat. Other than that, some Marvel United and One Deck Dungeon in the non digital game realm.
Re: The Local Switch Release Of Fighting EX Layer: Another Dash Has Been Delayed
Really excited for this one. Looking forward to next month.

Re: Review: Shiren the Wanderer: The Tower of Fortune and the Dice of Fate - Repetitive, Tough And Addictive As Ever
@GhostGeneration Been stuck in this genre since the 90s. Welcome.
Re: Review: Shiren the Wanderer: The Tower of Fortune and the Dice of Fate - Repetitive, Tough And Addictive As Ever
@GhostGeneration if you really get into it, hmu. I'm a dictionary of og and modern rogues.
Re: Review: Shiren the Wanderer: The Tower of Fortune and the Dice of Fate - Repetitive, Tough And Addictive As Ever
Well, good luck friend! I'd suggest Alchemic for a cheap, ease into the genre tho. Shiren is fantastic, not exactly a newbie deal.
Re: Review: Shiren the Wanderer: The Tower of Fortune and the Dice of Fate - Repetitive, Tough And Addictive As Ever
@GhostGeneration It's a fantastic og roguelike. It, Tangledeep, and Alchemic Dungeons DX are the best on the system.
Re: Street Fighter Characters Are Coming To Power Rangers: Battle For The Grid
I'm all about this.
Re: Blizzard Arcade Collection Free Update Adds Lost Vikings 2 And RPM Racing
@Bomberman64 Pretty sure Blizzard only worked on the SNES one.

Re: Nintendo Indie World Showcase To Air Tomorrow, 14th April
@GhostGeneration my man! I'm also hoping for maybe a Monster Train, Loop Hero, or Trial by Fire reveal.
Re: Rumour: Is Something Going On Between Microsoft And Nintendo?
Just give me Halo (with firefight) on switch. Digital or cart, not gamepass. That's all I want. Any Halo through 3 and ODST. Gimme. Please. Game pass would be nice, but yeah, just gimme Halo please.
Re: Nintendo Reveals The Top 15 Most-Downloaded Switch Games In March 2021 (Europe)
@Perryg92 100% agreed, and I just wanted to say the game was fun. Didn't take what you said as a diss.
Re: Nintendo Reveals The Top 15 Most-Downloaded Switch Games In March 2021 (Europe)
@Perryg92 I'm glad to see it, as its an actual effort from them, and a fun game.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (April 10th)

Re: Japan Voted On Final Fantasy's Best Games And Characters - Do You Agree With The Ranking?
8, 6, and 12 are my top 3. To each their own.
Re: Poll: Monster Hunter Rise Is Out Today On Switch, Are You Getting It?
@The__Goomba Yeah, I've seen two analysis say its running at a steady 30fps, so these folks I see complaining must be World folks. Which is funny, because that game couldn't keep a constant 60fps for awhile after release.
Re: Curve Digital's Frenetic Firefighting Multiplayer Embr Lights Up Nintendo Switch This Summer
@nessisonett It's funny you say that, there's in an in-game app to take jobs that resembles such things.
Re: Curve Digital's Frenetic Firefighting Multiplayer Embr Lights Up Nintendo Switch This Summer
It's a pretty fun game. Kept the boys and I entertained for a month. Haven't been back in a bit though, as I was waiting for some of the updates. Good to see its on the home stretch. Might double dip, if others in my group do.
Re: RWBY: Grimm Eclipse - Definitive Edition Slashes Onto Switch This May
Never watched the source material, but that looks like some good ole cheesy fun.
Re: Review: Plants Vs. Zombies: Battle For Neighborville Complete Edition - Dig For Victory
They took a rather crappy experience, and made it worthwhile. Glad I gave it a chance.
Re: Get Up To 75% Off With These Switch eShop Offers (North America)
@The_Pixel_King I've heard nothing but great things from some buddies. Might grab it finally myself.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (March 20th)
@FunkySwitchDude no complaints so far.

Re: Nintendo Download: 18th March (North America)
@Gamer_Griff It was a lot of fun on xbla back in the 360 days. Really love this dev, so I'm excited to play it again with the additions and new art.
Re: Maneater Takes A Bite Out Of Switch This May
Smile... you son of...

Just Explosionade for me.
Re: Neo Geo Pocket Color Selection Vol.1 Offers 10 Handheld Classics For Your Switch
Ok. I'll definitely pick this up for 50% off. Wish they had announced it before I bought two of the titles tho. I'd be in day one.
