Haha thanks for clarifying. Even more confusing because Switch and Swych are so similar!
So I noticed in the news feed that GoNNER got a free update that added new weapons, heads and enemies, etc. And then I remembered how dope GoNNER was and how it's criminal that this game is always forgotten and overlooked, which thinking about it, I'm guilty of as well.
So now I am here to correct that wrong.
GoNNER is really cool. It's basically a side scrolling platformer run n' gun Binding of Issac with an amazing visual style, tight gameplay and a cool soundtrack. It's hard as hell (which is why I kinda cooled on it) but the gameplay loop is so good, dying doesn't sting for too long. Personally, I like this game way more than BoI and Dead Cells, but that's just me.
Anyway, y'all should look into it.

I had that game since forever and I agree, it's a little gem. I didn't know it got updated recently though. Thanks for the heads up!
EDIT: Whoa they have a new icon!

I mean, Firewatch was a framerate shitshow on PS4 for months and months...
Man, I think I'm going to give InkyPen a shot. Reading comics on my TV sounds super appealing.
Yep. I absolutely love the art of this game.
It's a good game if you're looking for something simple and relaxing. There's no combat or anything, and the objective locations are clearly marked.
I honestly couldn't get into Gonner. I just hated how the damage system seemed to work and how hilariously vulnerable you were during it. Add in the rogue like/no continue nature of the game and I just got annoyed eventually and went onto playing other games. I'll give it another try with this patch, but I somehow doubt it'll grab me.
This is my biggest problem with the game. There are literally no i-frames when you get hit (or if there is, it has an extremely short window) and because you're often surrounded by enemies, once you're hit you almost always will get hit a second time resulting in a failed run. You can mitigate that by 'gittin' gud' but it is a bit frustrating.
I also don't like that I can't remap the controls but that's a problem I have in every game that doesn't allow me to do so.

Yup. For the default head, getting hit then having to get your gear again before you can attack... drove me insane and probably pushed me off the game quite a lot. I know different heads have different properties and the larger one doesn't cause the exact same issue but as you say no i-frames just make certain encounters feel frustrating as a run can be over in a blink of an eye.
It's a game that is only based on quests and side quests. Lots of collectibles. No enemies or threats. After the main story is completed, the game opens up a bit more, so you can continue with the remaining quests in the "post-world" if you like. You can run your own farm as well (not as deep as in Stardew Valley though), but I never focused on that. A solid game.
Finally got to play some Firewatch in handheld yesterday.
Framerate seems stable, Except in some rare areas, like just before you find the girls in the lake at the beginning, you'll go through bushes and the game doesn't like them.. Textures are meh and pop in is reasonable to me. I'm a very tolerant to these shortcomings though.
To me it seems like a decent port, even more when you consider the core interest is the story.

Interesting, yeah I'll certainly check it out, probably in Jan. That's high praise!
Technically there's no such thing as an "international" card. Whether it works in multiple regions or not is entirely down to what BIN number it is and what policies Nintendo has around that for their stores.

Here, I find eShop-Prices better to check sales than Savecoins but both are good options. Just be sure to change the currency accordingly to your native one.
EDIT: Oh yeah, buy Membrane if you haven't already.
In Membrane, what are those mushrooms that stop moving around once you get close? I assume there's a coin behind them or likewise but I can't seem to figure out what to do with them.
You need to stand far enough from them and find a way to ricochet shots off of walls in order to destroy them.
Firewatch hast some massive slowdowns and even multi second freezes at times. Totally playable, but technically it is rather poor. Given how little there is going on in the world it is weird how bad the performance can get at times.
Still glad I finally got to play this game.

Yeah it doesn't like when the draw distance is high and when there are too many polygons around (leaves, branchs...)
I agree that it's playable, but not so well optimized.
What engine is that ?
I know I am, started the 14th (Thursday) last year. So maybe tomorrow?
Don't have a lot to spent though (and somewhat of a backlog), so I would be fine with no extra games on sale and only getting Capcom Beat'm up bundle.
Thanks.
There probably is room for improvement, but not sure if they will bother...
Anyway, it's enough for me, as it's a story driven game.
Wait, what? Can you even play with these connected in handheld mode? I don't get it.
Yep, you can use one or both in place of the joycons, or mix and match. Chris Kohler did a good write-up for Kotaku.
Get ya d-pad here...
Thank you for posting this. It just made my day. UFO 50 is my most anticipated game and having it on Switch has been the dream for me ever since it was revealed.
Hot damn! While it's not as much of a rarity as the arcade DK, DKJr. is still a solid game and worth getting.
I don't even think that it's all that related to polycount or draw distance. Feels more like the game has a hard time streaming in new areas at certain points.
The level design reminds me a lot of Shadowman on N64, what with all the streaming tunnels and choke points.
I don't expect them to clean up the issues though.
I love the game regardless because I found the story and Voice Actors to be quite good. It manages to build a sense of place similar to the Mansion in RE1 or Zebes in Super Metroid.
Anyone looking for a good story should be right at home with this game.
Nice catch!
UFO50 is tons of fun. I spent a while playing it at PAX Prime both last year and this year. So many cool gems to discover!
I bought the game three times to date. I ain't doing it again.
I might do it again.
Do it :b celestial brush on the go
Lets show capcom we want a revival! The more it sells the better.
