Re: Nintendo Finally Opens A Second Official Retail Store

klingki

@Yobreeze is right. There is already an official store in Korea. I have been there several times. So this would be the third store. However, none of these stores really rival the one in NY (maybe the Japanese one will). Still it’s good to see official stores popping up globally.

Re: Devil Engine Ignition Brings DLC To The Switch Shmup This Winter

klingki

I'm not a big player of shmups, but I really like this game. It looks and sounds fantastic. And as someone said above, it’s hard, but I really do feel like I get a little better each time I play. There’s also a bunch of cool little things to unlock. I’ll probably be picking up the DLC when it comes out.

Re: Nintendo Hosts Huge 'Go Digital' Sale, Up To 90% Off More Than 130 Switch Games (Europe)

Some of these games have also gone on sale in NA, but not all of them. So far, I'm gonna pick up Aegis Defenders and Beat Cop (not on this list, but on sale in NA). If Golf Peaks, OlliOlli, and Tangledeep get discounted in NA, then I'll bite on those as well.

Besides that, I already own a lot of the games on this list, and I sort of regret not waiting them out now. There are some excellent bargains to be found here on great games.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (February 23rd)

klingki

I recently picked up an outrageous number of games on sale, and it will be impossible to give them all the attention they deserve. Of those games, I did already beat Gorogoa and Gone Home though, as they are pretty short. I'll probably give Aragami an initial spin next since I haven't tried that one yet, and I'll keep trying to improve at Tetris 99. After that, who knows...

Re: EA's Puzzle-Platformer Unravel Two Releases On The Switch eShop This March

klingki

I was happy to see this one. I think it’s a good fit for the Switch. Does EA have games that are more worthy of being brought over? Of course they do! But with EA being EA, I’ll take what I can get.

EDIT: Also, I believe this was in the EA Originals line. They are basically indie games that are only being published by EA. Since they’re not full-on EA, I’ll cut them a little slack.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (February 2nd)

I picked up Snake Pass and Infernium on sale. I played Snake Pass a little already. I like it, but the controls are tough to get used to. I feel like I'm learning to play video games all over again, haha. I haven't tried Infernium yet. It got pretty middling reviews, but it was only 5 bucks, so why not? The same guy who made Infernium also made another eShop game called Mind: Path to Thalamus, which I might buy if it ever returns to the eShop (it was removed for some unknown reason).

Besides that, I'll keep plugging away at Stardew Valley.

Re: Get Up To 66% Off Some "Weird And Wonderful" Switch Games In Nintendo's Latest Sale

klingki

@BionicDodo @Bunkerneath I know it’s not that hard to set up accounts from other regions, but I don’t really care to do it. I’d rather just stick with one eShop. I know that limits me somewhat, but I’m fine with it. If Snake Pass goes on sale in the NA shop, I’ll get it. If not, no big deal, I’ll just keep waiting it out. I have an enormous backlog anyway, haha.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (January 26th)

Big gaming weekend for me so far (it's already Saturday night in Korea).

Pikuniku: Just started it. It is so colorful and charming! I've already laughed out loud a few times. This is a good one!

Rime: Finished this one up, and went back in to knock out the few achievements I was missing. It's possible this game was terrible pre-patch (I don't know, I bought it on sale well after the patch), but I thought it was fantastic! This one is gonna stick with me for a long time.

Rocket League: Played a bit online and got thoroughly destroyed. I need to get my skills back up.

Snipperclips: As mentioned in the article, Pikuniku also made me want to go back to Snipperclips. It's a bit different experience, but still very fun!

South Park: TFBW: Moved along a bit in the story, but decided to take a break in favor of other games for now. Not really in a South Park mood at the moment.

Stardew Valley: This will be the bulk of my weekend right here. The recent update got me back into it, and I'm tantalizingly close to accomplishing literally everything you can do in the game. My one missing artifact is killing me though!

Re: Hori Is Releasing A Splatoon 2-Themed Tabletop Playstand For Your Switch

klingki

@hihelloitsme It was one of those things I thought would be more useful than it really is. Like, “what if I want to play tabletop, but I also really need to charge??” In reality, that has never happened. Honestly, it’s been more useful for playing in places with uneven surfaces or when a little more height is necessary and the kickstand just isn’t cutting it. But again, those situations are not the norm.
