I'm surprised this isn't (as far as we know) included in NSO expansion. Zelda was and those had much more enhancements

@Broosh I first played BotW on Wii U, where the right stick is at the top, so with that in mind it felt more natural to me to keep it as X. Not to mention the muscle memory from 1000s of hours of Splatoon. Still kept it as X on Switch too.

@ozwally @gcunit You say that, but weren't there more copies of NSW BOTW than Switches for a while at the start iirc?

And, of course, MK8D is still in the top 10

Not my cup of tea but nice to fill out the calendar a bit more, considering how many "2025 sometime idk"s we have

Can I use Joy-Con 2/Pro Controller 2 with NS1 games on NS2? Can I connect Joy-Con 2/Pro Controller 2 to NS1?

Edit: also, can I use Joy-Con 1/Pro Controller 1 on NS2 games on NS2?

This kinda makes me think, why a C? Surely a speech bubble or something would be more universal?

Is Nintendo listening to us? I'm scared

Oh hey, it's Blue Halo

I picked up Tunic and Civ VI to get stuck into, and I can see A Hat in Time and Spyro both looking at me from the shadows. Unsure which to go for.

Then again, how much are people actually paying for these? Physically if you wait a little while and shop around you can get cheaper; generally £42 for a £50 switch game isn't too rare, occasionally down to £35 - I recently got Pikmin 4 for £38, which is a brand new Switch game, might I add, not a rerelease

@WalterHW I absolutely loved Blue Fire. Left it just before the final boss (I think it was the final boss at least), but what a joy to play. Seconding this recommendation

Alright, when's April 2nd?

@Fizza I'm not convinced this will stop the crab meta. You know what other special can counter crab, but doesn't have the drawbacks the other specials have? Another crab

This is the kind of game I've had my eye on but never bought. Wanted to get a 3DS one but my 3DS crashes whenever I turn the wireless switch on, so might go for the Wii U version

Might have to hop on that A Hat in Time deal, had my eye on a couple 3D platformers for a while. I also saw Slime Rancher was on sale, but if there's no gyro I might have to pass on it

Very close, I like both... but I think fancy space colours means Japan * just* takes it

THE PUPMIN IS ADORABLE AAAAAAAAAAAAA

@Fizza @GogGogGogGog to play Devil's advocate, the points for special reduction on dualies and pro makes it seem like they're trying to promote alternatives than nerf Splash. I'm unsure what nerfs would be healthy for Splash, other than perhaps fire rate?

Incredible outcome, though I wouldn't say it was too unexpected, I remember Splat3 was breaking records left right and centre at launch, and Pokemon is Pokemon. Main thing I'm surprised at is still seeing the 3DS there, not a name I've heard for a good while

Can't tell if they're referring to the issue where brushes next to a wall would do no damage, cos that's one that should be solved asap. Good patches, anyway

On top of the points here, different weapons in the same class play very differently. Compare a Jet Squelcher to an Aerospray, there's no comparison. For one, the Jet is an actually good weapon...

zWitch Pro wennnnnn

@Nightcrawler71 exactly the same here, didn't wanna risk waiting a week or more, plus there's no guarantee I could get to shops and find it

@GX_64 "Cut my calamari into pieces"

Woulda been nice if they'd mentioned motion, but considering the video uses exclusively sticks, that's not too surprising. Speaking of which, anyone else find sticks gameplay just to be so jarring and uncomfortable to watch? Like you've got a perfectly smooth way of aiming right there and you're just jerking the camera all over the place

I was hoping for some balance adjustments from the Testfire - namely nerfs for The Juice - but they'll probably come later

Playing for 2 hours a day?

HAHAHAHAHAHA I wish it was that low

Find something that Sakurai **hasn't** done - then I'll be impressed

Would be nice to have access to the training room to get some proper training in, but alas. I've noticed they changed the animation for switching between squid and kid - I tried squidbagging in the plaza, and it just looked like a blob

That's so beautiful, I can't help but stop and stair

i wish squids were real

y cant metroid crawl

I don't see a Switch successor until 2024 at the earliest, probably 2025. I'm basing this entirely on Splatoon 3's updates - they won't be pushing content updates for a game on a 'dead' system

It's all about Shiver for me, wheres my Shiver fans?

I've enjoyed this on Switch. Its a nice game to jump in for a couple rounds while figuring out what else to play. I'm really bad at it mind you

You see, Ubisoft discounts their games so much, and by so much, I'm probably just gonna wait half a year and get it for half price.

I kinda wish we got to hear Pearl scream again... the Dudes Be song from Octo Expansive goes hard and I love it

@Ralizah that's the point though, and I love it

@BloodNinja I completely agree with you factually. I just think from a PR perspective, people won't take too kindly to being told they don't understand something, especially when they're already not thinking too positively towards it.

I'm just happy to have a comment replied to by the Ninja

"Don't understand it" doesn't seem like the best choice of words they coulda chose...

I really appreciate this article. I think its nice in general to have a hobby to turn to, and as videogames become more mainstream it becomes more of a thing to like, like its acceptable to have games to turn to. Like on top of just playing games, being able to have a community surrounding them to turn to and chat to something, and have an interest validated! That in turn validates you!

That gets a woomy ngyes from me, although I'm sure if anything is gonna live up to Metalopod

I only dug out my 3DS recently after I found Samus Returns on sale 2nd-hand. Ive been really enjoying it, thought it was a bit small at first but my hands have kinda gotten used to it. Not had any Streetpasses yet though

No stability patch? Disgusting

I don't have the game, I just like polls

The other day, I was round my neighbour's helping her set up the Wii for her grandkids, 8 and 5? I think? Brought over some of my Wiimotes and a couple games; they had Sports and Resort and I brought I think Mario and Sonic 2012, NSMBWii, Wii Party, and MKwii. Didn't stay too long, but saw them having a blast with them, despite growing up on the Switch. One thing I noted was navigating the menus, especially typing in Mii names in the Mii Channel. They were kinda shaking and struggled to type the names in, and in general pointing to navigate the menus was a bit troubling for them. Indeed, they had a great time, but it has made me think if the Wii was quite as accessible as people made out? I'm not sure if it is quite as "pick up and play" as everyone makes out - sure, its easier than any "traditional" game, but I'd be interested in how the set-up process and diving into it was for people without a wingman so-to-speak to set it up for them.

So Splatoon but less horny?

This, and the two Zeldas, are the main games I need to snag before the end of the eShop. This is a game I've always had an eye out for, but never bought the bullet on. Star Fox Zero was just calling my name, damnit!

Didn't get a Switch for a good few years, but I have fond memories of it being a snow day and I stayed in watching the January presentation, then watching all the trailers on repeat for ages.

@BenAV so true. No gyro = no purchase, I've played these games to know that you need to do some precise aiming, and sticks only aiming feels horrible to me
