It’s not delivery; it’s Digiorno.

Was definitely ready for this to be this holiday season’s cozy game. I’d rather it be delayed than be rushed.

Absolum? Majogami?

@SpaceboyScreams Likewise. While these updates are all great, I need that proper co-op story mode… or at least some significant updates with Co-op.

Repetitive? With the concept of the game, the only thing to build upon is having more constraints for a given shape/person.
Trial and error happens closer to the end of solving a puzzle, but there are many types where that happens.
I will agree with the reset button being a really great feature, but I do recall only doing a full reset once for 3 different puzzles.
I’ve beaten the game. It was cute, and definitely short; it could’ve been longer. I’d give it a point higher.

@chewytapeworm No mouse controls. Controller and touch.

@Ldory12 That has to explain it.

Weird. Automatic selection as soon as I applied. Fair. Someone said something about not being able to apply if you weren't in the previous test, which I wasn't, so hmm....

I already preordered the Satisfye Grip. I’ve found a comfortable way to play the console with my fingers gripping the kickstand (crazy, i know), and I’m fine with that until the Satisfye preorders get sent out. In the meantime for a case, I’ll dual purpose my Tomtoc bag that I use for my Legion Go when traveling. Tempting to get this, but the lock thing seems like an important detail to a lot of people. The Mumba is tempting to get as well, but I’m not feeling the look of it.

I preordered the Satisfye grip with case… I may wait for that… or I may buy whatever’s available @ GameStop since I still have a gift card to use.

The first Switch 2 I purchased would freeze when put in the dock 50% of the time. I had to get a refund and fully purchase another. But hey, I have 2 digital copies of Mario Kart World (that I probably won’t play).

As people have said, redesign is old design. Reminds me when they changed Trix and people were like, “why the new cereal,” when it was in fact a reversion. Nonetheless, I have no opinion on it and couldn’t care less.

Now someone saying most of Nintendo’s characters not having personality…. Ummm, Star Fox and that whole crew exude personality.

Just release the camera and Pro controller same-day so I can dish out all the money then. As long as it’s not a hassle to preorder, I’ll probably do that.

@Spider-Kev PSP and PSvita

I’ll pick up Ys and Tales of Graces eventually.
Picked up Cuisineer on the Steam sale around Christmas and have been enjoying it as a low-stress game. Picked up Freedom Wars on PC to play on my Legion Go; it should be a nice grinder until Monster Hunter.
Ender Magnolia sounds nice in theory, but I played Ender Lillies and quit after the fake ending and don’t want to pick it up again.

@Spider-Kev don’t forget the PS One/PSOne, not to be confused with the first PlayStation.

@N00BiSH or maybe it’s a Straw that’s grasping (the writer of the Insider Gaming article is Mike Straw. Lol)

I’d love to play these games… but I’ve retired from turn-based games.

@SigmaNoire I think the negativity is, “I want action. I don’t want puzzle.”

Me personally, I love puzzles and adored this game. As someone having played almost all of the Zelda games, of the new ones, I preferred EoW over BotW. I didn’t bother finishing BotW and outright didn’t buy TotK because of BotW. I’m down for a sequel/spinoff with Zelda again but with different mechanics.
Bring back Mystical Seed of Courage as a Puzzle game with Zelda!

@Rayquaza2510 , @jojobar already said it, but your phone doesn’t need to be that high end. But like I said, regardless, it’s still battery draining even for the latest phones.

Also, I didn’t say most people play these games with Bluetooth gamepads. @LavenderShroud stated they feel like controllers are necessary, and I just responded with the fact that there are options.

Regardless, your responses prove my point even more as to why waste time playing these games. Battery draining, lack of a decent phone, touch screen instead of a controller.

1) Having an iPhone 7 Plus isn’t the norm. Most people are above iPhone XS/XR. Granted, these games drain batteries like crazy still.

2) Phones have Bluetooth. There are Bluetooth controllers designed for this use case (Backbone), and you can also connect console controllers to phones. I’ve connected my Switch controller to my Apple TV and to my iPhone before. They even have phone mount clips that attach to controllers.

What I don’t get is wanting to play these watered down games that reek of micro-transactions just to drain your phone battery, while there’s a great console game that those games are based off of.

It sounds good, but not quite like I thought it would be. I was hoping for light crafting mechanics, and maybe light survival. A mix of the LEGO and Horizons mechanics so to speak. But they’re describing it as a beat ‘em up, “a LEGO game through and through.” Which, again, isn’t bad, but not quite what I wanted.

@Ladasta The main character’s legs look so stiff when walking. 😂
Needless to say I won’t be playing it, but I’m saying it anyway. Just finished Ace Attorney Investigations Collection and don’t need another mystery game until I’m ready to get the Touch Detective Collection.

I’m glad other people enjoyed it on Switch. I put it down a loooong time ago. Updates at this point are tiring to me. It crashed waaaay too many times to not have autosave for me. And at one point wasn’t fun enough to go through finding 20% of the map again, due to crashing.

Also keep in mind there are kids playing this. Although some of us are adults now and the game isn’t difficult for us, there was a time we were (or at least I was) playing these at 9/10 years old stumped as crap trying to figure out what to do in Oracle of Ages/Seasons. This game takes a little creativity and critical thinking skills some children may not have yet.

I’m not too surprised by this, and it’s kind of good to hear. I have a feeling they’re going to take another whack at furthering the anime. I don’t know how I feel about that.
@BenAV although it was released in Japan, the second AA Investigations is technically new to the US (unless you played it with the translation patch some years ago on the DS).

I’m down. Never got to beat it, but I’d totally buy a decently priced remaster. A sequel….? Let’s wait until we see remaster sales before we talk about a sequel, regardless of the cliffhanger in the first one.

My time was… ok… with the base game. I never got around to beating it. It’s crazy I got Hogwarts Legacy and Dave The Diver after this game and beat both of those. I’ll eventually go back and beat it, but probably won’t get the DLC.

Keep in mind folx, AI has been here far longer than we even realize, especially in entertainment (movies, shows, video games). It’s just becoming more readily available to the public. And without the prior regulations set in place before spinning out, its spinning out of control now.

The NES was a pretty decent build, but I enjoyed the Bowser one more.
What’s crazy is I’ve had this built for years and on display, and I never realized the second level built into the side of it!

Isn’t this already out (in Early access) on PC? I was considering PC to test, but I really want to convince my Switch friends to get it. Definitely hoping it’s a better game with the delay in mind.

It looks cute for sure, but I can’t play turn-based anymore. I’m sure it’ll be someone’s addiction though.

I still remember getting a crash close to the release of this game and never going back. I was halfway through uncovering the map, and it just crashed. Crazy that updates INTRODUCED crashes. Guess I won’t ever go back unless I decide to start over and pick it up on a PC sale or something.

@iNintendo Don’t worry. You’ll get use to it. I find it keeps it refreshing, I’m already almost done with it and played it for less than 2 weeks.( I may have put in more hours than I realize in that time.)

Gives me Silent Hope or Trinity Trigger vibes. But… WILL THERE BE MAGIC?! This will confirm if I get it.

It looks sooo good, but I dare not play a turn-based game… unless I’m playing FFX-2.

@Yalloo I’m into all kinds of music, industrial included. It’s just when it comes to rhythm games, I get into the game more when the music is high energy.

Taiko no Tatsujin is a decent one. I just haven’t bothered to purchase it still.
I think Groove Coaster and (once I get it) Arcaea will be my mains for Switch.

I’m totally willing to spend a good $3k-$5k for a Wacca machine if it’s the only way I can play. Lol

@Yalloo don’t get CryMachina. Lol. Or wait until it’s on a VERY steep sale.

With rhythm games, it’s about the music type, along with the controls for me. I enjoy the controls, and the music selection is awesome. If you’re into Vocaloid, that’s in there, but there’s quite a bit of happy hardcore type music. I listen to Hardcore Tano*C, and there are quite a few track from some of those contributing artists. I enjoy the DLC, although they can be cumulatively pricey for some.

I find rhythm game fans to not be all that uniform. I’ve considered Project Diva, but don’t deem the control scheme worth the price, even when on sale. Soundfall was a little disappointing. Deemo, Musynx, and Thumper never caught my attention, despite watching many videos. I bought Super Beat Xonic, and the controls on the Switch were not well-matched for it; that one might be better with a different type of controller, where the analogs are in the same mirrored places.

I’ve played Wacca recently and wished I had a cabinet of my own. Lol. Of course love DDR; I have stepmania with a bunch of song packs on PC and bought a custom dance mat from overseas. I enjoyed Necrodancer, although I never went back to beat it. And I hope Arcaea goes on sale on Switch so I can have it there instead of iPad. I’d say always watch videos of gameplay, and find out what the music selection is like for any rhythm game you think about buying.

In the past month, I bought 4 physical games, thank you Woot! And PlayAsia: and beaten most of them this week.

CryMachina: was on sale on Woot so I decided to give it a chance. Beaten.

Got the next 3 from PlayAsia

Ghost Trick: I hadn’t played it since the DS, and really wanted this one physical. Had so much fun again, but remembered a few too many of the tricky puzzles. Beaten.

Sanabi: This was a good one! Although it was a bit narrative heavy, I minded the narration less and less as it got closer to the end. Beaten last night.

Ender Lilies: Quietus of the Knights : I have high hopes for this one. Starting this one today.

Prince of Persia:The Lost Crown: I need to go back and beat this one, but I’m having so much fun with my other games.

Groove Coaster: Wai Wai Party: I always make time for a little Groove Coaster in between other games.

@deecas it depends on what kind of games calm your mind. I will play puzzle games to calm my mind and play them before bed. I played through a lot of my Ace Attorney library at night before bed; just a bunch of reading. Also Cloud Gardens puts me in auto pilot. The Shape Of Things also lulled me to sleep at nights I played before bed.

The only Persona game(s) I need to see on Switch at this point is the Persona Dancing Endless Night Collection. Give me that, I’ll be a happy camper.

Hopefully it's automatically downloaded when you first boot up the physical version once it’s released. I’ll definitely forget about it by August.

I was waiting for the digital to go on a steep enough sale, but should I just opt in for the physical edition?

@aresius Was there a staff in the first one that I didn’t make it to? Did the first one have magic and I just didn’t get far enough?

I’m not big on Roguelikes. I don’t even think I played more than 10 hours of Hades 1; but if there is as much spells, magic, and witchcraft as the trailer lets on, I may actually get this one.

I remember the incessant crashing I got when playing. We finally have the multiplayer update now, but I doubt I’ll ever pick the game up again at this point.

I want to know how Biomutant performs on Switch. Seems like something good for on-the-go, or in-bed gaming; but I’d rather get it on PC on sale if the performance is abysmal on Switch.

I have the previous Satisfye grip and I love it. I got one of the more low-profile dock cases and put my OEM dock guts in that, so I don’t even have to take it out the grip. As much as I’d like the Ronin, I don’t need it.

People keep mentioning this is on Apple Arcade. I’ll have to look for it on there. If it’s good, I’ll get it on Switch, but geez, I just got Dreamscaper on sale. Do I really need another roguelike?

@TheExile285 My exact sentiments. These are the ONLY 3 games I’ve been waiting for them to bring to Switch! I still pull out my Vita occasionally to Play Odin Sphere.

@rvcolem1 Saaaame. And maybe because I’m playing through The Lost Crown I’m being biased; but regardless “me no likey.”

I know I have this in my Switch and PC library. Good to see updates, but ever since my Groove Coaster purchase years ago, any other rhythm game has been abandoned. The only other I’m willing to purchase and play at this point is Arcaea (once it goes on sale again).
