Rocket League is the best soccer game ever made. It comes down to gameplay. Its all physics based with no pass button or shoot button or anything of the sort. The room for skill growth is crazy, and the team play is like nothing else.
The switch port however, is crap. Entirely due to input lag that they refuse to address.

Golf Story has better gameplay than the new Mario Golf game.

@nocdaes I don’t know about quality golf mechanics.
For me, it has not delivered there. I played a few rounds and the camera controls are bad, and there isn’t a timing button-press aspect for accuracy.
It doesn’t feel fun to play.

And now they only costs 5X as much as when they were released the first time!
How nice. This game is utterly swamped with junk cosmetics and crazy raised prices since EPIC bought Psyonix.
Good thing the core gameplay is still the best sports game there’s ever been.
Though they won’t fix the switch version.

I have this a brief play this morning. I’m not sure about the actual gameplay.
The standard for golf (minna golf, old Mario golf etc) was you do the power meter, immediately followed by an accuracy meter. This is different and weird and I don’t care for it.
In addition, the right should be for easily moving the camera and getting a look around the course and your trajectory etc.
but not in this game! The camera is a pain to use.

Rocket League is by far the best soccer game ever made.
It's the only one i'm aware of where there is nothing like a "pass" button, or switching/playing multiple/different players, etc etc.
Everybody just controls their own character (car) and everything is just physics based. The levels of skill growth are mindboggling.
Quite frankly, it's THE best sports game ever made.
That said, unfortunately the Switch version is the worst version due to input lag.

@somebread @Kalmaro they were all relevant to the conversation at hand.
It's clear NintendLife will let comments sway one direction, but not the other. they even deleted my comment you replied to. LOL!
way to push people away from your site nintendolife, you've gone the way kotaku and other crap sites.
i'm out.

oh man. That guy was amazing! I watched some of his stuff and his positive character was a shining light in competitive gaming.
tetris is the greatest game of all time. and he was a phenomenal ambassador. i'm glad to see the younger guys look up to him.

@echoplex The pod racer game is pretty good I think. It's better than all the recent F-Zero clones that have come out in my opinion.
Of course, I still want a new F-zero!

@JokerCK i remember trying to this out on my tablet quite some time back.
After Animal Crossing Pocket Camp turned out to be crap, I started looking for an alternative.
This game certainly looked promising! But after about 10 minutes I realized it was going to be a waste of time.

I stopped New Horizons and it's abysmal music. I started a new town in New Leaf and have been enjoying it immensely.
I like playing on a big screen though, so I'm actually running New Leaf on my PC with resolution turned up. I thought I would miss terraforming, but honestly I don't miss anything from New horizons.

$100 usd per shirt. they're cool, but not that cool.

@Toads-Friend new leaf is still a better game.
I started a new town about 1 month ago and have been enjoying it emmensly. The single thing New Horizons has over new leaf is terra-forming.

@Northwind there may be metroidvanias, but switch is missing the best of them. namely metroid and castelvania.

@TheRenegade908 the controls are abysmal. it looks and sounds like mario kart, but it sure as hell doesn't play like mario kart. it's no fun at all. basically one of the worst kart racers on mobile lol.
if they could implement actual decent controls, and controller support, they'd have a game on their hands.

god the characters in game look absolutely atrocious.
why does Square keep employing some bad mobile game charater crap in their remakes?
it's a disservice to Yoshitaka Amano.

@Moistnado the screws they used to put together the switch are absolutely horrendous. Worst screws I’ve ever encountered.

@Deminox have you seen what Nvidia's ai upscaling can do? It's pretty dang impressive. So even if the devs made games for the current switch, a new pro switch could still give a much better graphical experience with Nvidia new chip in there.

@chardir the joycon are a pain to work on because they have tiny little pieces, ribbon cables, and springs that don't want to go back in their place.
The system itself is not bad too work on.
Please people! Always repair your stuff or replace the battery if need be. I know it's not as exciting as buying a new shiny thing, but it's always cheaper and better for the environment.

@konbinilife wow Nintendo Life edited my comment! They cut out an entire bit and I didn't curse or say anything bad.

One more website down the drain. too bad, i enjoyed this one.

@foodmetaphors yep. that's why i stick to console gaming despite pc games generally being cheaper and easily accessable. plus if i game on my pc it's too distracting and i'll never get anything productive done.
give me 1 or 2 games and i'll play them til completion. give me all the games and i'll maybe sample a bunch and never give any a real shot. that ol human nature paradox.

@nessisonett i think it was more to do with the censorship and controlling what people are or are not allowed to view/comsume etc.

@nessisonett it’s clear you don’t.

@thinkhector people often give violence more of a pass than sexual content. I think because sex is inherently more awkward to talk about within families. And parents and family really should be the ones to make the decision on what content is acceptable.
On the other hand, people who argue that media doesn’t influence youth, are most likely very young or a stupid adult.
All that said, I’ll take the job of censorship for the good of my country and people. I trust me to make the right decisions.

@Clyde_Radcliffe wait... are games not censored on switch? Aren’t there some Nekopara on Switch? There is no way those aren’t censored haha

@MisterKorman it’s probably exactly the same sensitivity. I dont notice much on switch games, but i got the sn 30 pro+ to use for PC too, and because of the ultra sensitive sticks i dont use it. I play Rocket League on pc and you can adjust the sensitivity in-game, but its incredibly difficult to get it just right.
Where-as my hori switch controller the stick sensitivity is perfect. Basically the same as DS4.
The only other thing i dont like about my 8bitdo controller is it doesnt work via usb. Bluetooth only, which is a bummer sometimes.

i'm glad to see this comment section not filled with a ton of super cringe fans (or 'stans'? as they call themselves. that's not even a word!) foaming at the mouth at the mention of their idol gods.
kpop is trash. the industry is a sewer. i lived in south korea for 4 years (not a long time, but certainly longer than most and enough to form some opinions.)
it's so much of the worst of american pop culture cranked to 11. like a plastic las vegas.
they want so badly to be seen as 'cool' on the world stage it's pathetic.
there is much to like of traditional korean culture, and hopefully they hold on to that and embrace it.

@NEStalgia That may be true but joycons are the only controller i've experienced drift on. and i've been gaming since the NES.
nes controllers had zero drift btw.
I bought the standard version of these specifically to play Rocket League in handheld mode, and while it was definitely easier, I found out that game itself has terrible input lag on switch so no controller will make it playable.

I like them but I'll not buy another joycon. My console left had bad drift, and the right connection issues. My second pair no drift (yet) but the right joycon has even worse connection issues!
I love the joycon in theory. But darned if they aren't overpriced for a faulty product. :/
Even the Pro controller has a crap D-pad. A first for nintendo.
Switch is the only nintendo system I've ever owned where I prefer third party controllers.

@Mr_Persona grip isn't bad. not as good as pro controller of course, but perfectly usable. maybe a little too lightweight, however the buttons and sticks all feel fine. and in my experience Hori makes a superior product than PowerA or madcatz or whatever else 3rd party controllers there are.

@BloodNinja @JHDK @Mr_Persona
I have that hori controller (not this colorway... yet!)
and honestly it's my most used controller and I really enjoy it.
I also use it for PC gaming.
My first joycons had drift, and my current pair, the right one constantly drops connection.

Hori actually had made a PS3/4 mini controller first, and it was much less ergonomic. zero grip and ps stick layout made it a pain. but this switch version i love.

@Goat_FromBOTW New Leaf was/is amazing. A ton of stuff in New Horizons is just copied over from New Leaf anyway. New Leaf with terraforming and tv play would be perfect.
Also with New Leaf, you don't have to worry about losing your save or playing on a different system etc.

@VoidofLight I played Animal Crossing since the first released on Gamecube in the states. The game was so incredibly different from anything else.
I've skipped a couple along the way, but New Leaf was amazing on 3ds. Terraforming is the only big addition in New Horizons and it's a good one.
However, with Nintendo's backwards game save policies.... I've stopped playing altogether. My Brother's wife put untold number of hours into their game, and then the save corrupted. After that they stopped.
It makes me not even want to invest the time in my island.

@TheFrenchiestFry i agree with the first part of your comment.
however, in regards to making games only compatible with the hardware revision, I also would expect that not to happen. but i didn't expect them make games only compatible with the New 3ds consoles as well, and they did that.

@MarioLover92
It's very difficult to decide between Mario 3 and Mario world.
I think Mario 3 was the most innovative and one of the greatest games of all time.
But something about the world of super Mario world always grasps me. It's my fav.

@Megz3 i actually like the look of it other than having to be a fat slow person. i would still play it anyway, but it sounds like the gameplay is rather shallow unfortunately.

@Divinebovine i honestly thought his first stupid comment was a joke... but then he doubled-down on it when replying to others. haha

@SM3DASislit as I get older, I have less time for games, and have to be more selective.
It's easier to fit in some music. You can listen to music while driving, walking, cleaning, exercising, resting your eyes, etc.

good ol KPP. I also can't believe it's been 10 years already! I was in japan in 2011 and there was KPP promos everywhere. I bought some KPP earbuds that I still have unopened.
I'm glad she has new music coming out, I'll have to look it up.
I don't have time with Ninjala though.

FIX the input lag situation psyonix!!!
RL on switch looks better and runs at higher fps than on my laptop... but I can play much much better on my laptop.
the input lag on switch completely kills any competitive play.

they need to overhaul the input lag situation. it's unplayable compared to pc.
in fact, the switch version looks better and runs at higher fps than my laptop, but i can play much much better on the laptop. input lag on the switch kills competitive play.

@Prizm i agree. Nintendo has a soft spot in most of our hearts because we grew up with their fun and charming games. but they are decidedly two-faced.
only view the product? fantastic!
view the company practices and how they treat fans? pretty negative.

@Ganner I was going to comment the same! I remember vividly looking at gaming mags when I was a wee boy, and the Ultra 64 was that nice shade of charcoal. precious memory.

I think pokemon go is a crap game. But, I'm all for people enjoying the outdoors. Screw the lockdowns and screw the police. This isn't the plague. The government is doing more harm than the virus

I would love a 3d open world kirby! I know they can do it and it would be incredible.
Part Time UFO is a little gem as well.

@Dezzy have you played it on PC?
had I played it first on Switch, and never on another platform I might have been ok with it...
But if you play on PC, then immediately on Switch, the difference in input lag is staggering.

@Dezzy I haven't played Bloodstained on other systems, but on switch there is slight but noticeable and annoying input lag. Even in handheld.
Rocket League is ruined by input lag on switch.
Not every game has it of course, so there must be some trick in development that they're missing.

I was hoping this would be a mode to play with 16bit graphics.
Man i really wish they would have this game with beautiful sprites and right controls a'la SOTN.
Anybody played the Record of Lodoss War Deedlit game on pc? Her animation looks just like d Alucard and it's beautiful!
