Then again, I wish Microsoft would focus on stability. My laptop has been stuck on a windows update from several months ago that it tries to install and fails every time I turn it on.
Sold. The save issue isnt a big deal for me...I often just tap the power button on the go, then pick up where I left off later. This really looks enjoyable. How's the story?
I'd pay $20 were it not for the technical issues. As is I'd pay no more than $10, but it looks good so if this goes on sale, or they fix the issues mentioned in the review, I'm on board!
I've recently purchased 3 games: Splatoon 2, Bayonetta 1/2, and Mercenaries Saga Chronicles. While the first 2 are graphically superior games, I can't stop playing Mercenaries.
It's been a busy weekend, but on my downtime here's how I've been nerding it up: 1. OOTP 18 on pc: Tediously recreating the MLB starting in 1871, currently up to year 1874. So far the chanpions have been: -1871, 1873: Boston Red Stockings -1872: New York Mutuals
Im torn about Dark Souls. I played the xbox360 version, got to the first dragon and quit in frustration. Maybe it isnt for me or maybe I just need to try harder. Idk. Lol.
Atari 2600 looking...hasn't aged well. On the bright side you can probably get it without having to install an sd card! Would have been cool back in the day!
As a huge fan of Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, Im enjoying this game. The story is terrible, but I just fast forward through the dialogue to get to the action. If you loved ffta, you will love this for the tactics. It is a shame that the story is so generic and bad...this could have been a real gem. However, for 15 bucks it is still enjoyable and hard to put down.
Recipe for success: Ingredients : -Baseball Stars -Super Mario Baseball
Preheat oven to 375. Combine Baseball Stars and Super Mario baseball in glass pan. Stir together. Cover with aluminum foil and cook on center rack for 45 minutes. Allow to cool for 5 minutes. Serve.
@Mr_Horizon Totally get where you're coming from. Also it's rather short. I enjoyed it for what it was...but this ain't Bioshock. I got it for free with xbox gold...I wouldnt pay for it unless you really enjoy point and click. I know, it probably isnt a true point and click. ..pretty close though imo.
All the same, for the few hours that it took me to complete I had a good time.
Somehow I never played Fire Emblem but what I know of it really sounds like you are right. Im totally planning on getting the new one for switch when it comes out.
I was thinking I might try this until the $50 price was mentioned. This sounds more like a $20 game...at least for me. I'll watch for this one to go on sale.
Im not a professional analyst. ..but my gut feel is that I don't see this labo thing going anywhere. I just don't get it. Then again, I also poo pooed the switch when I first heard about it...now its my favorite system.
Ya, I wouldnt pay that price for darkest dungeon. I have it on Steam, and while it's well done for what it is, I personally found it to get repetitive after a while.
Its hard to get excited about "a few hours of story", when Im currently playing through Skyrim. I don't need Skyrim level content depth, but I do need more than a few hours.
This really does feel like a nice little pinball experience. The only question is, will I ever play it? There are so many great games for switch right now that pinball has thus far taken a back seat.
This is really cool...Im not sure though. I played the heck out of it when it first came out.. .not sure I need to go back. Great game for those that havent played though.

Re: Nintendo Switch Version 5.0.1 Is Now Available For Download
Then again, I wish Microsoft would focus on stability. My laptop has been stuck on a windows update from several months ago that it tries to install and fails every time I turn it on.
So you see, stability is rather important.

Re: Video: Digital Foundry Considers "Nintendo Switch Pro" With NVIDIA Tegra 2 Processor
Maybe in a couple years, with other upgrades and improvements as well.
Perhaps more built in memory.
Maybe compatibility with 3DS/DS games? Wouldnt want the 3D part of course.

Re: Sounds Like Blizzard Really Is Porting Diablo 3 To Switch (Even Though It Said It Wasn't)
@Cia
That's a good point. I dont recall dying much, if ever. I never finished the game though. I suppose upping the difficulty would change that.
Re: Sounds Like Blizzard Really Is Porting Diablo 3 To Switch (Even Though It Said It Wasn't)
I'll triple down when the price is right. For me that's around 20 or 30 bucks. Already own on both pc and xbox.

Re: Review: Layers Of Fear: Legacy (Switch eShop)
Id say its a 7.5 / 10. Just a bit too point and clicky for me.

Looks really funny...will the gameplay and shoutouts to past platforms carry this one? Hard to say but this is one I'll be looking for a review on.
Re: Review: Mercenaries Saga Chronicles (Switch eShop)
Very good review, pretty much spot on. This is keeping me occupied while I wait, seemingly forever, for a price drop on Disgaea 5.
It is such a shame that they couldn't come up with a better story.

Re: The Latest Zelda: Breath of the Wild Gift Should Help You With 'That' Hard Bit in the DLC
One of the few weaknesses of the game is a lack of an automatic recipe book that remembers your successful ingredients. Skyrim got that right.
