Personal gaming anecdotes:
Kirby is amazing but most of you already know that
Cruel King and the great hero is amazing and it floored how engaging it has been so far. Great artstyle, music and the battles are fun.
Octopath another GOTY candidate

Japanese magazine Famitsu sat down with original director Takashi Tokita, to talk about LIVE A LIVE's development and why it's HD-2D
Question: It has been about 28 years since the game was released on Super Famicom, and now that the highly anticipated HD-2D remake has been announced, could you start by explaining how you came to develop the remake?

Finally had a chance to listen to some of these and while I don't think any of them quite capture what makes the one I posted so good, it's clear that Kirby has more music worth checking out than I realised.
Hello, I recently bought an OLED Switch and have a few questions if anyone could answer.
1) My partner wants pink Joycons. Does anyone have any recommendations on a third-party that makes good ones or any silicone covers I can get for our existing controllers? I don't want to try and do a custom shell as I don't want to void the warranty.
2) I want to get a second charger but am worried about buying a third party charger ax I don't want to void the warranty. Is my fear overblown? Are there any options recommend? I don't mind paying for the Nintendo one but if I can get one cheaper that's safe, I'd like to save money if I can.
3) Any games that do as much with HD rumble as 1-2 Switch? We've played this at a friends and it was a lot of fun so we plan on picking it up but want to know if there are any other games using the function that would be worthwhile.
Appreciate any help on these. Thanks for reading.

A lot of people seem to get lock in that HD-2D has to look a certain way, but I'm happy to see Tokita distill the concept to the freedom it allows, "HD-2D remake fuses the beauty of pixel art with the unique effects possible with 3D." Live A Live (and DQ3) prove that there is a lot of room to play in when applying that base concept.
1) You can get official ones, since Splatoon has green/pink pairs. They only come in sets of one of each though (unless you're in Japan), so you'd have to buy two sets.
2) In my experience, the Nintendo one is the only one that the dock will accept as a power supply. If you want another one that you don't plan on using with the dock, then any USB-C charger (even a power bank) will do fine.
(The Switch doesn't support Qualcomm Quick Charge, so don't be seduced by that.)
3) Golf Story famously uses it to create audio, but I can't think of another game offhand that uses it as cleverly as 1-2-Switch.

Man, Best Buy is taking so much of money with how many damn sales they got going on recently for the Switch lmao. I'm out here trying to pick and choose what I wanna buy for the sake of saving some money but at this point my Backlog for the Switch is fucking massive. I need to really start playing through games before Fire Emblem Three Hopes is out!
Aye! Welcome to the thread, I'm glad it makes you happy!

I use a GeekShare protective silicone cover + case (OG model Switch) and they're good quality. Not sure what their OLED stuff is like, but might be worth a look.

So, the folks over at Digital Foundry were discussing the recent BOTW2 trailer and they seem to think that the trailer isn't running on the Switch, what's your guys thoughts on this?
Here's the transcript for those that can't watch:

I really want to be excited for this game, but musou doesn't do anything for me. I was even indifferent towards Age of Calamity.
Interesting! I'll watch it during my break.
It's what I want to hear - but I wonder if it isn't a bit of wishful thinking on their part - because that's what I wish for myself! It definitely does look better, but I can't rule out clever tricks and stuff..
I just remembered before that Fall Guys was supposed to be coming out for Switch and Xbox. Last update was 2 months ago saying they were finalising things. That'll be a nice drop and boost to the playerbase when it happens!
OP
OP
Ah, I've actually recently picked up Age of Calamity on sale and plan on playing it soon. I played the demo and immediately liked it so I figured fuck it, why not pick it up? Hopefully I end up liking the full experience because if it does, I can see it easily making more hype for Three Hopes but I don't blame you for not liking musous
Assuming we hear nothing about Fall Guys all the way till June, I would like to think that's gonna be an "available now!" announcement in the next major Nintendo Direct (which I'm assuming is gonna be June but I won't be shocked if we at least get another indie direct or something before then lol)
As for this Digital Foundry stuff, it's really interesting right? It's one of those things where BOTW2 clearly does look visually better and it looks super fucking good but to see them point out tech reasons and actually explain why they think it could be running on a Switch 2/Pro/or whatever is at least worth some sort of discussion. Hell, I want that to be the case myself lol. I would've gotten the SWOLED if it had some sort of power upgrade but eh

Bandai Namco Studios is developing a Remaster/Remake of a 3D action game for a Project(Contracted by Nintendo)
Some job listings came up recently for a planner of a 3D action game project contracted by Nintendo. https://bandainamcostudios.snar.jp/jobboard/detail.aspx?id=qz8IL4XM5YdrlPwPuO7Dog Another listing came up as well for a visual artist for the same Nintendo Contracted 3D action game...

I could see Splatoon 3 launching late July-early August since July isn't packed at all (only LIVE A LIVE atm). I really don't think it'll be a super late Summer release
There's this new series, Xenoblade 3.
Also I think Bayonetta 3. Looked almost done last year.
My secret wish would be a new Mario game to release along with the movie.
Also a new 2D Zelda remake, it's been 3 years since Awakening
They better make an announcement soon, then. It definitely feels like more of an August title to me, though. They want to make the release date announcement with enough time for pre-orders to bake before release.
OP
OP
I fully assume that they're gonna announce it during their next Direct (whether it's one before E3 to announce some lesser grand things or the E3 Direct) tbh but hey I could see it taking up August as well. I just don't see it going into September since Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is gonna be the big game that month which fucking reminds me, I need to play Xenoblade Chronicles 1/2/Torna before that lmao
OP
OP
Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaah but I have such a big backlog for the Switch at the moment that I'm focusing on other games (currently playing Triangle Strategy as we speak) so it'll be awhile before I get to em but I have every intention in trying to do so this summer
OP
OP
I have no idea, what's the Chronological Order if you don't mind telling me?
1 > Torna > 2
But I would definitely recommend leaving Torna until after 2.
+1 to this. Torna has major spoilers for XBC2 reveals.
Also the Torna gameplay is better IMO, so XBC2 might feel like a downgrade afterwards.
I'm playing Disco Elysium and loving it. Are there other games on Switch that are similar and good ports. I'm eyeing that Planescape: Torment port but I believe it has some bugs. Might just go PC for that.
OP
OP
I'm 5 hours into Triangle Strategy and man, the reviews were right. The first three hours of this game are seemingly the worst parts of TS thus far. It's a lot of talking and things setting up other future conversations or decisions and it could truly feel ridiculously boring or pointless but man, when the game starts to kick in after that point, you're fucking in. It's really fucking good so far and I'm enjoy the fuck out of it. My favorite feature though is how important it is to talk to literally everyone considering it opens up potential responses in future conversations that require decision making. It's a small feature but man I appreciate it enough to likely do a second playthrough sometime down the line. Here's to hoping the game continues to be great!
Good to know! I plan on trying to get a playthrough of these games in the summer because I at least do want to be all in on the world of Xenoblade Chronicles before XC3 is out in September

Pathway is on a deep discount ($1.99) for their anniversary. I've had this in my wishlist for a while, so I bought it with Gold Coins I've been saving.
I'm guessing that's the same bottle that was given away at the preview event.
OP
OP
Did they give those away at the Preview Event? I didn't see them in the videos I checked out for Switch Sports previews
I can't believe how many great games are coming for the Switch. I finished Kirby recently and I started 13 Sentinels just yesterday and it's great! I actually bought Triangle Strategy but haven't even tried it yet, lmao. I'm probably going to wait until I'm done with Sentinels. Also, really interested in Chrono Cross, Live A Live and a few indie games, too. That is, until Splatoon 3 and Pokémon, my God. This year is packed.
OP
OP
I've been playing Triangle Strategy and I can tell you right now, it's fucking great. The first 2-3 hours are a bit dialogue heavy but once you get past that point, there's way more battles going on and you'll be invested in the world and it's characters. I'm fucking enjoying it so much more than I thought. And shit, you're not wrong. I actually gotta get to Chrono Cross after Triangle Strategy as well! Don't forget we still got Mario Strikers and Fire Emblem in June to kick off this year's Summer. Nintendo fans are fucking eating this year
I'm playing Chrono Cross and I'm enjoying it. It's definitely a 7/10 game for me but the elements i like I REALLY like.
When I'm done I can get back to Skyward Sword which is exciting too.

How's the performance on Switch? I bought it on Switch before I saw the performance issues so I wanted to know what I'm getting myself into post Triangle Strategy lol
Pretty awful, lots of slowdown. It's not something that's ever really bothered me to be honest. I've always been able to see past performance issues, especially for retro games. But objectively yeah it's there and I noticed it even as someone who doesn't care.
Random thought but I wish we'd get even a smidgen of a teaser trailer for Metroid Prime 4. I'd also like a Metroid Prime Advanced Remaster announcement.
OP
OP
Fucking RIP, I hope they somehow fix it over time (if that's possible). I guess I'll hold out for a bit
For real! I wonder if Nintendo's gonna finally reveal the overly rumored Metroid Prime 1 remake/remaster this summer
Hmm I wouldn't be too optimistic. There was an interview recently about how difficult this remaster was. Likely due to not having the source code. After all, these performance issues aren't new, they're from the original.
