Been waiting almost a year for restock email

@Daniel36 I had to rewind twice to find both parts you mentioned, didn't even notice the first time. Was too busy enjoying the music and thinking it looked like a flash game.

Will this be one game on cart and one download? Hope not! Picking it up despite not digging the art. I only ever played advance wars 2 back then.

Everyone check out wargroove if you're into advance wars!

Heads up that Fatal Frame is $39.99 for the asia eng version, and is releasing November 30 according to play-asia site. The japan version is ~ten dollars more, and says it's releasing October 28.

Sweet, was waiting for that Huntdown physical. Was briefly excited to see Ty, then realized one of the games is a download code .

Thanks for the article.

Another release that's incomplete or somewhat broken on cartridge as-is? I'll have to wait for a potential complete cart down the line, or just get it on a holiday steam sale I guess. Looks fun though. I used to love the micro machine games - racing around a kitchen table, through pools of milk and all that.

I loved the n64 analog stick, it's the only one I could accurately aim in FPS games with. Move with c-buttons, aim with stick in Goldeneye etc. Shame it wears down so quickly.

Next update I would appreciate some new music. I disabled the in-game music. Also getting sick of the sound effects of the on-course creatures. Whole game feels generic. Yet fun. Hope for the future iterations I suppose! Now to try those new courses!

I don't regret the money spent on it, but it stinks buying a physical, then half your game is added later. For preservation's sake, that means only half the game is there years later when you load it up on a new switch and update server is done.

My fault for not waiting.

I have this on Steam, great fun. Trailer on switch did look very downgraded, of course.

Strangely, you can get a boxed PC version at Wal*Mart in US for $9.99. Not sure if it includes all the content of the traditional Steam release (which costs $29.99)

I don't know if this will help, but having played the first HD one for hours and hours, when I tried part two I couldn't get it to it (so far).

It's not worse, heck it may be better, but Spelunky was already perfectly designed in my eyes, and I just feel like I didn't need anything else, if that makes sense. Upon trying the second game, which I held off on til I killed Olmec in the first, it felt completely unnecessary. This only ever happened to me with one other game: Binding of Isaac Rebirth. I bought the later DLC for it and instantly uninstalled it - it felt like it was changing what was already perfection.

But if I had to make a recommendation, I'd say start with one, but realize it may take you a while (~350 deaths/runs in my case) to finish the main goal. I haven't even seen some of the secret levels in Spelunky HD yet. You could easily just start with part two if you wanted; I'm assuming it has more content. But for me, the first HD game is pure art.

TLDR: I'm too biased to tell you if Spelunky two is better.

edit: just saw the first one is $10 cheaper. I may have to buy it on switch now too.

Why would you want an anti-friction ring on the stick? Wouldn't that make it slippery?

The two Wal*marts local to me never charge more than $49.98 for any switch game. I made the mistake of ordering SM 3d All-stars from them online, then returned it and bought it local when I realized. Wonder why it isn't the same online?

Edit: In the US

@TheFrenchiestFry

Yea, it was weird. And no choice of my current favorite genres: pinball and STGs

@Specter_of-the_OLED

System RAM has nothing to do with extra contents in those games.

Please give us a console-only switch with no battery now.

OLED looks good, i'll grab one down the line if a spec upgrade isn't announced within a year. I am hesitant about the screen though, some OLED screens are way too colorful.

@4thHcier

I don't know about cinematic, but I know that while I will choose higher frame rates 99% of the time, in Doom it feels and looks much better to me to play at the original 30fps. Having the monster animations interpolated and/or having the game run 60+ feels responsive, but looks more 'fake' and cartoony (for lack of better terms) to me.

I also play Diablo III at locked 30 because it looks better to me. Probably if I'd never played old diablo or d2, then I wouldn't find the smooth animation so cheesy looking.

Those are the only games I alter to intentionally lower the framerate though. Well, Doom natively runs at that, but has to be enabled in source ports.
