Ugh, I wasn't planning to buy anything else (grabbed Boxboy, Golf Story, Wandersong and Diablo) but I tried the demos of DQXIS and DQB2 and even 10 minutes in they both feel pretty enjoyable. The only thing that's stopping me is I don't really have time for long games right now, but they're very tempting
Let's not forget picross 3D round 2, theatrhythym Final fantasy, and the pushmo games. I probably could run you down a huge list with impressions of want. Also super Mario maker 3D has the best single player of any mario game. The challenge medals for each add lots of replay value.
I have a pushmo btw also made a thread https://www.resetera.com/threads/rt...e-hidden-gem-suggestions.228496/post-37108744
Jo-awn
Thought of making a thread but I'll just post it here - I'm slightly disappointed with Yooka Laylee and the Impossible Lair. I think my expectations were too high going in because people had been comparing it favourably to Tropical Freeze, and I'm finding it falling short pretty dramatically. I'm a huge Tropical Freeze fan, beat it on Wii U, beat it on Switch and got all speed run gold medals, etc.
I just don't think the level design holds a candle to Tropical Freeze, which just has such a great flow once you master the roll jump and everything else. I never minded playing levels in Tropical Freeze to get the collectables or doing the speed runs because they were designed so well. Even just visually they were much more memorable. That's not the case in Yooka Laylee. Going back to previous levels to look for the TWIT coins to open the Paywalls (terrible mechanic totally not worth the joke they were going for) was a chore. Even now I've got 30 bees and I'm just wanting to get through the Impossible Lair so I can finish it.
I guess it's just a matter of expectations. Tropical Freeze was made by a studio with a lot more money and time than Playtonic would have had.

I posted a video of the Jump Rope Challenge and wanted to see what happens when you do it multiple days in a row. there only seem to be so many backgrounds you can download.
Probably a stupid question I know, but to play this do you essentially just, jump up and down on the spot?
Yes and you can also just do do squats in place in case you have people who live under you.
You have to perform a system transfer to move all your games from the old 2DS to the new 2DS XL. You just need both consoles to be online without Nintendo doing anything.
Not sure why others told you so.
Well he does say in the case of his console breaking, in which case he'd have to go the awkward route explained by the others.
Add Dragon Quest XI, Thronebreaker, and Minit to games I picked up. I picked up so many games ahh.
At the very least, I have a good amount of Gold Coins now that I can use towards Cross Code next month.

"still"?
all games were tied to your NNID ever since NNIDs existed.
Mutant Year Zero. Shadow Tactics is a very specific kind of game, there is no real genre-sibling on Switch (massive bummer). But with MYZ you have a linear story-focused stealth-tactics game starring actual characters. Closest one I can think of. Everything else is usually straight up tile-based squad tactics.
Honestly? Divinity 2.
It's not a tactics game (Its turn-based) but a lot of its fights are very tactical.
No. It's not perfect but, as usual, internet hyperbole and no follow-up has done its damage...

I bought the Chruch in the Darkness which is only 5 euros. I was always interested by the concept of the game. I'll give some impressions when I'm done with Black Flag.
ALso, speaking of Black Flag; how the hell can that game be so good, when ACIII was so bad? Seriously, it sometimes feels like I'm playing a AAA sid Meier's Pirates!
Also, the game looks really good; so good that I wonder how they made it run on PS360.

We told you! There's a reason AC3 is considered the black sheep in the series. Glad you're enjoying it, it's a great game.
Rogue is good too, though not as good as BF.
were the Switch ports of the Beamdog enhanced games (Planescape, Baldur's Gate, etc.) ever patched to be improved? I remember passing on them at launch partially because $50 was a bit ridiculous but also because the reviews said the Switch ports ran noticeably worse than the PS4/XB1 versions
tempted to get them now at $35 a pop though to have on the go

Summer in Mara review NL
Ouch
what a trainwreck
From the review: [* for edited text]
"What follows over the next dozen or so hours can only be summed up as one lengthy, arduous fetch quest"
" * early quest sees you needing to talk to a woman on a busy island
Upon reaching the island, you can't talk to the woman directly but must first wait to talk to fishermen running a store that isn't open yet. Once the fishermen tell you where she is (you already knew), you run all the way to the other side of the island to finally talk to her, only to discover she doesn't talk to you.
you're told you have to talk to other people in town to figure out how to talk to her. You're not told who would have this information, you have to talk to everyone until you find the correct people, each with their own tiresome errands you have to do before they'll tell you what you need to know."
"the entire game is predicated on this almost comical focus on wasting your time"

weird trailer, it was already announced for Switch.
I did a short video on the prologue (because the prologue itself is only 30mins long) and yeah, it was janky and simple and didnt leave me with high hopes
The Silent Hill DLC is out for Dead by Daylight on Switch. It $7.99 and you can buy a bundle for $49.99.
Ugh I just saw reviews for:
Summer in Mara
Damn...a 3/10 from Nintendo Life. I was really looking forward to a new farming game and this one LOOKED amazing.
Apparently the graphics are one of the only good things about it. Nintendo Life says the entire game is 1 huge fetch quest
and there are no consequences for anything, and it's just a complete waste. They seem to have hated it.
Oh, well, guess I dodged a bullet as I was fully expecting to wake up today and download it!

Damn. This is so disappointing. The screenshots I saw looked so freaking good. I was naive to think this was going to be like zelda mixed with Stardew. Oh well...I can just replay Stardew at this point. I won't play Mara even for free, with the reviews I've read. What a disaster, and what a waste of those graphics for a game that's apparently a soulless chore.
yeah it may be frame pacing I'm noticing, I guess? But it seems like the framerate just tanks into the low 20's when there are too many things going on at once. Also, Another weird issue I'm having, and this may be OLED specific, but the games brightness adjustment seems broken. I have to put brightness on 10 (max) for it to look halfway normal. It has you adjust the brightness by making one image visible and one image disappear. Except the image on the right is never visible to begin with. This is the only game I have this problem with. All other Switch games look perfect.
I just saw both Darius Collections are up & noooope, waiting for a sale. $45 for the Arcade collection (4 games, but 7 versions total) while the Console is $60 (6 games with 9 versions total)...which is also on PSN for $78 despite being the same game so who knows WTF is going on there & why the prices are different.
But for both titles, to get all 10 games (16 versions total), you're looking at $105 + tax. I'd like to get those collections but absolutely not at that price. That's the "you get these games physical in a LE with a few bonuses" price at the least.
Now I'm bummed Konami never ported their shmup collections on the PSP or did a new collection in the line of Contra, Castlevania, or Arcade Classics.

Yeah, the prices aren't too surprising to me just based on how the whole release has been handled but it's still a bummer to see. I really want to try those games but can't really justify picking up either collection, especially not having played any of them before anyway. Glad they finally made it outside of Japan in any case.
Yeesh. Kind of where I'm at with the psikyo collections. At least those are cheaper than physical, but some of these seem too high. Guess I'll be waiting a long time to get these games. If space invaders collection comes west, I assume it will be equally as costly.
Different dev teams.
IIRC Black Flag was made by the team who helmed AC 2, it was in development alongside AC 3 (whose team went onto do Rogue).
If you're not a Darius diehard, you only really need the arcade collection, which is the cheaper of the two. Darius 1, 2, Sagaia (revised version of 2), and Gaiden are the highlights of the early Darius days. The only things really missing are Super Darius 1 and 2, but those are completely absent from both collections. I bet they'll show up alongside G-Darius in the second Cozmic Collection.
