chagrined

@AlphaElite I only started playing the game recently, I assumed all the chaos vs chaos matchups I've been getting just meant there were more people on team chaos, but you said it could imply chaos is losing? Just curious why that would be.

Also I've seen about a 50-50 split of 100x notifications and I won one for chaos... But that still doesn't give me a good sense of anything lol. I kind of wish you could see how the splatfest is going before it ends.

Relying on Google translate for JPN->ENG translation for professional purposes is just stupid. You can even get the opposite of what something means sometimes.

I like weird creepy horror porn but from reviews of the steam version it sounds like the erotic content in this isn't that interesting & the gameplay isn't great either. A shame.

This is cool. I love the art style of the game but it's not my type of gameplay so I haven't bought it, so I'm glad I'll hopefully be able to enjoy its style in another form.

@Dogorilla maybe it's a translation error and they meant trawling? the rest of the description reads a bit awkwardly so that wouldn't surprise me.

Edit: Very late edit several days later but I found out "trolling" is actually a type of fishing! It means fishing while the boat is moving to drag your line along. The Japanese description says 走る船 or "running boat" so that does seem to be what is meant.

I have been eyeing this one since I saw it had some labo support and also it looks like the kind of cute/unserious fishing game I enjoy, so one way or the other I will get it.

@Thesharkfromjaws Thanks for mentioning the sale! I have had it on my wish list a while but hadn't been paying attention recently so I didn't see the sale. Now to decide if I want it digital or to wait for physical.

Just bought Splatoon 2 & Stardew Valley, so those, plus a little Tetris 99 although I don't think I'll place in the event.

I don't super care either way but the change does make me actually want to try to 100% the game pokedex again, which I haven't done since Silver. So possibly I will play it longer because of this.

I also hope there will be more Labo kits.

I was curious about this game in the direct just because of the setting & it seemed to have some kind of strategy going on. This definitely sounds interesting although it remains to be seen how much fun it'll actually be to play.

@bluesdance I hadn't considered a fight stick but that actually might work better. Although with a joycon/pro controller, repeatedly pushing the joystick with my thumb still hurts a lot, but with a fight stick I guess I would use my whole hand which (for me) would be a lot less painful. Also I wonder if I could get one of those ones with keys or whatever, that'd be good too. For now I ended up buying the first game on PC instead and it's definitely less painful pressing keys. But that'd be a good way to play Cadence... If I can ever find a good deal on a fight stick lol. Anyway thanks for the suggestion.

Would buy both this & Cadence of Hyrule but I tried the Necrodancer demo from the Japanese eshop & the repeated button pressing for movement is terrible with my arthritis. Wish the Switch offered some kind of ergonomic controller with customizable controls... If only I could somehow use the Steam controller to play this it would be perfect since I could use the touch pad with no need for pressing hard. Well, I may buy Necrodancer on PC instead so I can play it that way but sad because that's obviously won't work for Cadence, which I'm more interested in.

Looks like the castle is blasting off. I hope that's the case and that it takes Link/Zelda/the player to a brand new location to explore. The best part of BotW to me was exploring the world, so if a new game were set in the same world I've already explored I wouldn't care that much. But a brand new environment sounds amazing. The castle being built on top of some kind of ship could totally fit with Sheikah tech.

I will think about it if they put baseball in it.

Would also like to know about the control scheme & whether it has touchscreen controls.

As an Etrian Odyssey fan, I'm interested, but it depends how annoying the story/characters are and how easy that stuff is to skip. I tried that Labyrinth of Refrain demo but the characters annoyed the crap out of me.

Looking forward to unlocking that theme.

@hihelloitsme I'm still playing it and have 25+ hours in it so far. So, it's been more than twice.

I absolutely love it. My favorite Labo kit yet. I hope more games will support it in the future as I love using it, but even just with the software it came with it's more than worth it to me. Plus I love how easy it is to share with friends as a social activity. Had a blast playing the elephant doodle pictionary game with my sister today.

Etrian Odyssey Nexus on 3DS, Undertale on Switch, maybe some Twilight Struggle on PC.

I've been waiting for Snake Pass to go on sale for ages, so finally playing that. Happy because I saw it go on sale on Steam before but I really wanted to have it on Switch instead of PC, and the current discount is great.

Do Captain Goomba/Captain Boo/Captain Shy Guy from the Bowser's Minions storyline show up in the Bowser Jr side game? I got surprisingly attached to those characters so I would play this if they appear again.

The North American winners were finally posted last week too.

Is there actually DLC for this game? I'm not seeing it listed in the eshop (the DLC that is).

I haven't bought it yet but I definitely will one of these days. I know I will love it, I am just waiting for a time when I can afford the attention sink I know it will be haha.

Every party needs a pooper, that's why devs invented this party pooper, party pooper. 🎶

@thesilverbrick I might end up in the same boat (they haven't shipped mine yet either) so thanks for the advice in case that happens, heh.

I find the idea of VR cool but I got vertigo after 5 minutes of Portal on my laptop. If that makes me sick, I tend to imagine VR would make me even sicker.

No, we have NOT seen the winners of the North American contest! Those were the winners from the old 1st contest, the current NA 2nd contest winners (which corresponds to these recently posted European and Japanese winners, all of them having the custom Switch as grand prize) have not been posted yet (although they have been notified by email).

I bought my pro controller a month or two before my Switch in order to use it on my PC. Had tried a friend's and it was the most comfortable controller I'd ever used. I have arthritis and all other game controllers I've ever tried pain me, but amazingly I can play on the pro controller for hours. I love that Steam supports it.

I only wish the pro controller could remember and easily switch between two paired devices without having to re-pair each time. Since I only have one right now I have to re-pair it any time I swap between Switch and PC. Maybe if they come out with a new variant I like in the future I'll use it as an excuse to pick another one up.

@lmello You can connect it to the PC and try to use it without going through Steam but a lot of games won't support it (because it uses some other input, dinput I think? I forget). But if you go through Steam, then you can use it even in non-Steam games that require xinput.

I still wonder if the fishing game might end up also supporting the Labo fishing rod.

Labo Vehicle Kit (finally finished assembling the toy-cons and just started adventure mode), Super Mario Odyssey, and then on my 2DS maybe Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga.

I want baseball and bowling!

I've read from others who bought it that the frame rate issues really only show up when your city is big AND you zoom way in. So it's not like the game becomes wholesale unplayable once your city is large.

That said, I prefer to play this kind of game on PC anyway. (Though given my current PC I'm sure it would also slow down when zoomed, ha.)

My surprise favorite part is BEING ABLE TO POST UP TO 4 SCREENSHOTS AT ONCE VIA SOCIAL MEDIA SHARING! Finally! Previously I was too lazy to take my SD card out and turn on my computer and put it in and copy the pics off it so I could post more than one pic per twitter post... So instead I would post 1 pic at a time to twitter, then quickly save the pics and delete the tweets on my phone so I could repost them together. But now I can post them together from the Switch to start with! I'm thrilled.

Well, these aren't all "all possible because of reflective tape." The piano uses it, yeah, but not the fishing pole or motorbike. Those just use the accelerometer & gyroscope to measure tilt and motion. But yeah it's still correct that aside from the reflective tape you could basically substitute whatever construction material you wanted as long as it provided the same structure/motion capacity as the original. I've even faked the motorbike just holding my joy cons free in the air haha.

I saw these Lego things yesterday; the fishing pole is my favorite. I'd like to see someone make a fully 3D-printed plastic piano or something though. Now that'd be sturdy!

Swindle sounds like what you'd get if you crossed a Switch with a Kindle.

@HobbitGamer Yeah, tbh the building is my favorite part haha. Or maybe the satisfaction that comes at the end of building when you see your finished product. These kits are so well-designed & how it all works is so ingenious.

Labo Vehicle Kit!

I own it on PC but haven't finished it. I found the style/characters/humor EXTREMELY charming and yes the music is also great, but I dislike the bullet hell combat. It's not my kind of gameplay. And I second one of the commenter above me about the repetitive random combat encounters. I know that's part and parcel of the type of RPG this game is inspired by but it doesn't make it less tedious.

I do feel like I'd be more likely to enjoy playing it/finish it on Switch compared to PC, but idk if I care enough to purchase it a second time.

Don't care about NES games, looking forward to hopefully SNES games in the future though.

Looks cute. I'm into the idea of having it all set in one town, curious to see how they'll keep it interesting given that.

I'm interested to see how the gyro controls work. I couldn't play the original because the controls made my hands sore but depending on how gyro is used maybe I could play it now.

I liked the look of her moves in the video, they fit her perfectly.

They're cute, but my hands would fall off. 😂

Already reserved a copy and picking it up tomorrow! Can't wait, and definitely don't mind the build times as building everything is my favorite part.

But they still haven't announced the winners for the 2nd NA contest! I've been going mad waiting; the contest rules said it would happen 9 days ago. Hopefully later today or at worst, tomorrow morning (to coincide with the vehicle kit release).

All I want is a reveal of the Labo contest winners, sob.

Love Etrian Odyssey so I'm curious about this. How annoying are the characters? I can't play any of the Disgaea games because the characters irritate me so much.
