Nope. Didn't really have any games I cared about, and it was a point in my life where a dedicated handheld didn't make sense for me. Wouldn't use it much.

Nintendo eShop - December 2019 | Switchmas Edition

Obviously, I love Cuphead. I got all the achivements in the Switch version. Beating it on Expert was super fun!
Now I am playing through it using the NES Classic Switch controllers i got for Christmas. Which basically means only using the Pea shooter and jump, shoot, and Dash only... No items or extra weapons. It's amazingly fun to play on the NES pad!
I heard Va-11 was well liked, but not much gameplay as AA or GT, but great story and characters.
I'm currently playing AI Soninum Files, it is excellent. Also super recommend Steins;gate Elite if you want some top notch visual novels.
VA-11 is more down to earth than those two, so if you liked the supernatural parts of those games a lot ya might be a little bummed out. However VA-11 has some great music and the dialogue with the characters can change depending on if you gave them the right type of drink or if ya just get them flat out wasted. lol
Personally I made it a mission to try to get most of them as wasted as possible. I enjoy all three games mentioned, but all for different reasons.
If you find you are itching for another game in this style then I am sure there will be a big sale before the second game comes out later next year (which is like 25 hours for me...hard to believe already).
Here is the Axiom Verge Retronauts episode if you want to check it out. Goes in good details about the game and what the creator likes and dislikes.
Played Turok 2 for about a hour. Still on the first level, but I can already see I'll have a love/hate relationship with this game.
I love the combat. Like, I'm shocked at how well it does some things compared to even modern games. The animations, blood gloriously splattering on walls, heads exploding, an amazing shotgun, smart AI for the time. It's pure catharsis and I love it. In fact, I'm also playing Wolfenstein 2 and I actually think the combat is more fun in Turok 2.
The visuals are also crazy impressive for the time. Enemies even have shadows. To this day there are developers getting away with blob shadows and here we have a N64 game with "real" shadows.
But I feel like later levels will probably become annoying mazes with corridors almost indistinguishable from each other, and I think I'll hate that. So far the first level isn't too bad, but I have a feeling it's only going to get worse.

Shiit, I missed grabbing a bunch of games I was considering because I thought the sale went until the 2nd, apparently some had different sale end dates for some reason.
Woops.
Oh well.
Woops.
Oh well.
Wow, King of Cards is really really good. The card game is like a great version of Tetra Master from FFIX. And Kings movement options are really fun.
I think it's about as fun, if not more, than Spectre Knight. There's a ton of content here. I've played Shovel Knight over 150+ hours in the five years they've been with this game, it's truly outstanding.

Oh yes. I played docked on a 32" screen and the game still looked really really good. I hope it sold well, because they deserve it.
Have to say, I wasn't blown away with any of these. I liked Gris the best, tbh.
Full disclosure: some of them, I only played the demos.
What's that icon to the right of Slay the Spire?I did not expect Tiny Metal to have a cool looking icon. Nice.
Gonna spend all my coins before day is over so my I can go on with no-buy january as I intended.
Give me your best games that's on sale.
I find joy in most genres but I would prefer if it was co-op so I can play something with the wife.
But I'm all for any hidden or not so hidden e-shop game.

That was my initial thought, which was why I asked, but didn't realise it was on Switch. Guessing it's still JP only?
Yes, it is Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Hou. As far as I know, it is the most complete version of the game out there. Still JP only. Got the game on launch day and still haven't got around to read it haha. I inserted the cartridge into Switch a few days ago but eventually moved back to Tales of Vesperia.
In case you are not informed, a similar complete edition of Umineko has already been announced for Switch and PS4.
Thanks. Maybe it'll get a translation when (if?) they ever finish translating the PC version!
handheld res is super blocky, docked mode is low-settings PC which is to say the port is fine, could be better. very much playable and the game is great.

Sometimes I put the white theme just for when I come back to the black one it's: "YES!" Every time.
I started playing VA-11 Hall-A yesterday and it's good. Don't expect the same level of interactivity as the two games you mentioned. Here you make drinks with clunky controls and this is it. Most of the time you read conversations between you (the bartender) and customers. In about an hour of play time it didn't let me make dialogue choices, neither. I don't know if you can influence the story in any way, maybe by putting more alcohol in drinks?
Music is nuts. You can charge a jukebox with 12 tracks among a huge selection and listen to them while reading. I'm enjoying the game enough, but it's something different from PW and GT
You are welcome. Oh, I think they will finish the PC version, but translating this game is really a huge undertaking. I heard it takes Japanese 100+ hours to finish reading the whole game, so... god knows how many time a foreigner needs reading it, let alone translating it.
Hows the switch port of Atelier Ryza? Cant find a physical copy anywhere so I was thinking about buying it since its 10% off.
New thread

Bought it this sale and was not a fan of it. It's nothing like AA or Ghost Trick, it's a game about reading different stories which bring a background to the universe of the game where you can change a bit of the outcome depending what drinks you serve. I was not too much into these stories because some of them fell flat and uninteresting, so I dropped it after three hours or so.
If anybody caught me talking about this a little while ago - I was just tidying my boy's disaster bomb of a bedroom and took it upon myself to empty every book in the bookshelf, only to find my Mario + Rabbids case hiding away!
in other news - how can you get more gold in Luigi mansion 3? Need some gold bones for that final boss run!

this is putting your coat on outside to feel the benefit :D
Grabbed Luminous XI...err the Gunvolt quasi-sequel thing. But decided to actually play the Gunvolt Collection first. I am only in the first game so far, but its a nifty alternate take on Megaman.
Eschewing direct attacks in favor of a more indirect "auto-attack" with your lightning shield and focusing heavily instead on balancing your battery level is a pretty interesting gimmick. It works pretty well and instead of doing the weakness order with earned weapons, instead you get different abilities and guns that add slight twists on the core "pin target and nuke" mechanic, but without completing negating the balance if abusing proper equipment. At least so far.
Looks quite good, feels good. The levels are its weakest aspect, just very basic and lacking budget the team likely had. Some decent obstacles to clear with a couple hidden collectibles tucked away to discover, but far from the genre best. Possible the sequels improve things here. I do like that the game incentivizes you to replay them taking on new challenges for bonus crafting materials to unlock helpful gear and abilities. Some neat ways to customize your gear and abilities to make the game feel different as you progress.
It feels like the sort of experience Might Number 9 was probably attempting by twisting the core formula and design, but this succeeds. Though some may not like not being able to just shoot down everything with your equipped pistol. Maybe a gun unlocks that lets you just do that though.
