So... who's going to eat the spinach and test that Popeye game? Have a morbid interest in that one.

Honestly, I don't really understand what's the point of creating a new zero effort thread when we had one where all it was needed was to update the title and still have a ton of useful resources that took a lot of effort and years of time to create. If someone wanted to step up and put the time and effort to make a new one, good, if not then we still had a great thread to discuss everything eShop just by getting rid of "october" in the title (if that was bothering people). To each their own I guess. bigbosssalute.png to years of eShop threads. Mind you, not my intention to attack you at all, I expressed this same opinion days ago in the October eShop theead.

It'd be nice to at least have the PRs or list of upcoming games of the month for EU/NA/JPN regions in the OP and recover some of the useful links.

There's a new monthly eShop thread up on Famiboards now with lots of that sort of information:

https://famiboards.com/threads/nintendo-eshop-st-nov-2021.845/

Thanks very much to jonnykong for making this very useful thread too.

We're spoilt for choice now, but I still miss tolkir!

I wonder when the money for KOTOR and GTA Trilogy will be taken today. Nintendo seems random about these things. I have had money taken out of my account at 2pm, and 11:59 pm. Weird.

I completely understand and agree with mostly what you're saying here, but until somebody actually steps up and offers to do a proper Eshop thread every month the same way that tolkir did, then I'm not really sure what you expect me to do.

I certainly don't have the time to do it every month, and neither does anyone else by the looks of it.

So it's either this low effort thread or none at all 🤷🏽

I also thought about carrying on the October thread and taking the month out of the thread title, but in the end that might look confusing having the original post talking about older games that have already released.

Man... Demon Turf is pretty fun and full of personality, but a lot of textures are incredibly pixelated and I don't recall them being this way in the Steam demo...

Played a couple hours of Demon Turf, and so far so good, although it can be quite brutal and a little annoying at times. I'm not a big fan of the one-hit death mechanic, but the game does have an interesting checkpointing system you've got to be smart at using.

I do hope the game unveils other ways of being able to gather up those lollies cos I don't really have any interest in the photography side quest stuff

I'm interested in Demon Turf but Super Sami Roll is what I've really been looking forward to coming out today. That game looks like Monkey Ball, Sonic Adventure, and Chameleon Twist rolled* into one.

*Pun intended.

MAGES (known for the "Science Adventure" visual novels and more recently the Famicom Detective Club remakes) is releasing a rhythm game next week called TIMINGooo! in which you try to escape hell by having good rhythm. They say it only uses two buttons and the art style(s) is giving me Wario Ware/Rhythm Heaven vibes. I'll wait for reviews if there are any but I'm interested.

Unfortunately the combat (if you can call it that) on Demon Turf is absolutely horrendous and is unfortunately bringing down what could otherwise be a great game. For me personally anyway, maybe someone will like it I dunno.

I've just beat the first boss which wasn't exactly an enjoyable affair I'll be honest.

But still, the platforming challenges are fun to play.

That looks… absolutely bonkers in all the right ways!

Two buttons sound both fun and accessible to me, given that WarioWare games shares similar mechanics … 😊

Nah, you'rw totally misrepresenting what I've said, I expect nothing, I certainly never mentioned monthly threads lol. And it wasn't "this or none at all", old thread was kiiiiinda ok and just a thread's title change away, nodoby had ti step until they wanted to, we've discussed this already. Anyway, doesn't make sense to keep this discussion going, we have a new thread, it's ok we good

Huh, the GTA games are separate games on the Switch. There's no launcher. I wonder if they'll release the games separately in the future?

Played a bunch of Unsighted yesterday and... people should play Unsighted. Game's excellent. Reminds me a ton of CrossCode in terms of exploration, combat and dungeon design (in a good way, like puzzles are really clever and satisfying, not in the sense that they are super long lol). The story and general world building is great too.

I know they're ridiculously cheap but which of the Toree games is technically the better game if you're just trying to use up a tiny bit of credit so can change back to my normal eShop region?

They're both on my wishlist I just gotta pick one for now - or any other super cheap game anyone recommends?

Another thing. Why is KOTOR 11.7 gigs? The PC version is 3.5 Gigs. Higher rez textures?

Very much so, it's a real gem of a game that I'm in the middle of too - bought and playing on Switch despite having Game Pass as the devs deserve every sale they can get. I've posted the OT if you'd like to share your thoughts there for a wider audience.

Whilst playing Demon Turf tonight I used some of the in-game currency to buy this cute pet dog that sits on my head at all times

(you're probably going to have to do some zooming in here)

But whenever the character is facing away from me, I can't stop giggling at how much it looks like I have a peen on top of my head

So many good games that I want to play are coming out right now and yet I can't shake this desire to replay Hollow Knight for no real reason. I don't get hung up on clearing out my backlog, but I do sometimes feel a little bit of guilt when I decide to replay an old (and time-consuming) favorite as opposed to focusing on experiences that are new to me.

I suppose I could write off a replay of HK as preparation for the eventual release of Silksong...

Just discovered there's a new thread. And yeah, this will definitely do for now.

As for actual games, it's a bit disappointing to hear the combat in Demon Turf isn't up to snuff really, it may still be a good game in it's own right though, as i'd get it for the platforming mechanics and the general atmosphere & exploration mostly...

just a quick post to say Bot Vice is 80% off for a few more days and is awesome as shit. If this looks even a little appealing to you I think you'll enjoy it.



I'm awful at it (it's hard!) but, much like Strikey Sisters, the quick retries make it a really damn addictive "FUCK. ONE MORE TRY!" game.

I should get back on Demon Turf tonight, had to take a couple of days break from it due to having the worst hangover I've ever experienced.

I think I'm around halfway through, it's a surprisingly meaty game.

Providing you can tolerate a choppy/uneven framerate several times throughout your journey downhill, it isn't too bad.

As far as I am aware, there hasn't been any performance patches since I last played it so, I imagine the game will always have an inconsistent performance.

It's fun, that is for sure … 🚵🏼‍♂️

seems SMTV is very low res in handheld, shades of Xenoblade 2 apparently (which to be fair, I did play 100% portable), that's a shame

Same here, game is awesome and unless you compare it directly to other versions, it plays GREAT on switch, it rarely hickups and even then it's really minor and doesn't really impact gameplay.
