How is Mega Man for someone who has never played the series before? I am on holidays in NYC and played a demo in the Nintendo store and really liked it! Is it brutally difficult?
Is anyone still playing the marble game? It's on my wishlist and I liked the video I watched on the eshop but it did kind of look like just rolling around and collecting stuff.
Has it had legs for yall? If you bought it, are you still playing it, and what keeps you coming back?
It's a good game but i strongly recommend not playing it on Switch. I think a lot of people want to buy it on Switch because, well, they love their Switch and want any excuse to have new games for it. But Switch is not the right place to play TWEWY.
You can either buy it for mobile for $18 and play it the exact same way it plays in handheld mode on Switch - touchscreen only - or you can buy it for DS/3DS for about the same price (used) and play it how it was originally designed to be played.
Either way you'll save $32 and the additional content in the Switch version is definitely not worth $32.
Sorry bruh
I stopped playing it because I'm waiting for the patch with new stages. It's pretty short currently, but with more stages it may just hit the spot content-wise (60 is what Marble Blast Ultra shipped with, and is what Marble It Up! will end up having after the first couple of patches). I finished the included 40 stages pretty quickly, but they're great fun, amazingly designed obstacle courses. Trying to get the best times is addictive, but it hurts seeing those top 5 worldtimes that you will probably never get and no friend leaderboards to be seen (such functionality has been stated to be coming in a later patch as well).
Botton line is: it's a fun, if short, platformer with great stuff coming in the horizon. If you know you'll come back when the free new content arrives, get it right away. If you tend to not return to games after updates, I'd say wait for a sale or for the updates to come out.

I've bought the game yesterday and played it for just 2 minutes; can confirm, it ran like ass.
But supposedly there was a patch released yesterday (i guess for those issues) that i may have missed.
Can someone confirm how's the game running? I'm at work right now, can't confirm it myself.
I have version 1.0.1, apparently there isn't any newer patch. The game still run like ass for me...

Played a couple of games in Armello (even won one). I'm still learning the ropes but yeah, I'm going to be playing this for quite some time.
Hi all. I'm considering purchasing Owlboy on Switch. However, I have read about some poor performance issues on this port (hard crashing, etc.). The latest update from the devlopers was a planned patch to fix some of the issues. Has anyone experienced performance issues post patch/recently? Thanks.
It's worth it. If you like it, take a look at Unepic too, by the same dev and also on sale.Ghost 1.0 is really cool so far. I didn't realize it had some rogue-like elements, and the way difficulty and upgrades work is pretty cool. It's very unique and seems worth the $5 sale price so far,

I wrote a lot about it at the old site. I really enjoy it, one of my favourite indie games. It does a great job at gradually expanding your toolset, and before long you'll be casing joints and getting out with all the cash like a pro. The humour is what sells it to me, there's all kinds of madness that happens in the levels as the randomised builds, enemies and your tools clash. Is there anything specific you want to know about it?
I played it for a little bit on switch but never got hooked by it. The concepts were solid I just felt the execution was lacking. I have it via like six other free methods on all kinds of platforms though, otherwise I would be willing to try it out on Switch.
The idea of randomised missions all building up to the main mission was cool. I do remember there bing a countdown though
friend of mine finished it very recently and loved it, made no mention at all of any issues.Hi all. I'm considering purchasing Owlboy on Switch.

yes, couple of weeks (~2months-ish?) agoHas Yooka Laylee ever gone on sale on the eShop? Waiting for some sort of deal to finally get it.
Um...you mean like, right now?Has Yooka Laylee ever gone on sale on the eShop? Waiting for some sort of deal to finally get it.

Found my reply regarding "The Missing" for EU, apologies if this was posted before:
PS: Been some time since someone pulled the "technical difficulties" card on a random fuckup, lol.
The Boom Ball logo looks similar to the Boom Blox logo in presentation. Maybe that's just me.
I don't know if it's a "good" single player game yet, but there is definitely a campaign. Also, I had a blast learning how to play the game and I was obviously playing alone, so there's that.
Oh, I forgot to mention before but there is also online play. I haven't tried it yet, but it is there. Also, I was a initially a bit bummed out that there isn't local play but after playing through the prologue, it makes sense that there isn't one. It'd be like playing digital Uno while sitting on the couch with the person you're playing against, since, like Uno, you can use your cards to fuck with your opponent and if they have knowledge of what you hold, they can easily counter you.
Well, it's not a campaign per se (not one with cutscenes and a story at least), but there is a single player game with a bit of progression.Wait, there's a campaign? Did they add that on, because I don't remember there being a campaign on the PS4 version (and I have the DLC).

If by a lot you mean exactly zero then ...yea ^^But is it worth it? Did they do a lot of updates to the game? I remember hearing a lot of people being disappointed but it was foxable stuff.
WTF
West of Loathing is kind of....amazing.
This is my biggest surprise of the year. Lots of people have said it's good....but it's way better than I was expecting.
Ooof really? Damn hard pass then. I get it being an indie developer that is a cost rarely recouped but I don't have time for that stuff. I delete games off my switch if they have issues and never get updates. I have gotten to the point now that I am waiting for patches.
Correct.Ah, right, it's basically play through the campaign and unlock stuff by doing things like "winning with a rabbit five times" or whatever, right?
oh boy... I guess this is next in my list to buy.WTF

Minit is cute. It reminds me of the bite-sized rpg/adventure games I'd play on flash game sites. I wish there several "episodes" with their own stories to play through. As it is now, it feels more like the first chapter of a more comprehensive package of 'Minits'. Give me DLC or a Minit 2!

This is correct. The Switch version was based on the heavily updated versions released prior, it had all of those fixes and improvements built-in from day-1. I assumed you were aware of this, Tebunker. After that, it has received no updates (they are working on their regular stretch goal updates currently).Wasn't Yooka Laylee indeed updated before the Switch version released tho? I was under the impression that it received a few, but yes, the Switch version technically didn't since those predate its release.
Yeah, I'm eagerly anticipating Black Bird.Black bird looks really crazy and awesome. I'm probably getting it next week...
Ooooh okay No I wasn't aware. Okay so it is technically better than when it originally came out on other platforms. I may have to watch some footage of portable mode. My kids would enjoy a game in this style.This is correct. The Switch version was based on the heavily updated versions released prior, it had all of those fixes and improvements built-in from day-1.

Correct.
Sorry for the confusion.
That said, I've played like half a dozen games since yesterday (all against the A.I.) and I'm officially hooked. It's kind of what I always wanted from a Civ game, in that, while I really like Civ, there is just too much downtime (especially in the mid game) that usually results in me quiting that campaign. With this, it isn't necessarily short (a match can take upwards to an hour) but I'm constantly being engaged by what's going on at any given time.
Not only that, I also love how the combat system works in Armello. Again, I enjoy Civ but the combat in Civ sucks, which is fine, I guess, since combat is kind of an afterthought in that series (it's for that same reason I got hooked on Master of Orion for a hot minute) but in Armello, since combat is resolved by die rolls and cleaver use of cards, every encounter is really engaging.
One thing I am a bit worried about is how easy it is to achieve a prestige victory. Again, I've only played against the computer but each time I won it was because I dominated all other players in prestige. It might be different with actually humans.
oh boy... I guess this is next in my list to buy.
Consider Yonder: The Cloud Catcher Chronicles instead, even though it's not technically a 3D platformer. Yonder is a much better 3D game in the same price range than Yooka Laylee is despite the patches.
