I think if you do a quick search limited to this thread you will find a few that did. I still haven't gotten around to it (but will).

I didn't know where to ask this question, so I'll post it here haha.
I just bough a Switch with a Breath of the Wild and Mario Odyssey. My TV broke last week and I'm not planning on buying a new one until sometime in October, when I have some money saved to buy a nice one. Is it a good idea / playable to play both of these games soley in handheld mode? I have a really nice pair of Bose QC 35's, so I feel like it would be a pretty cool experience. Any opinions or experience playing Zelda or Mario in only handheld mode would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I personally don't care about graphics or big screens, but there are some areas with slowdown in Zelda which I think perform even worse in docked mode - so yeah, handheld is actually a good experience here. (They fixed some of the slowdown in a patch, so not sure how it compares now.)
For Mario Odyssey keep in mind that handheld mode won't let you use motion controls - unless you play in tablet mode, which is also an option.
Some moves can only be done via motion controls, some people say it will be hard to get 100% moons without them.
I haven't played that much of FF15PEHD (Try to say that 3 times in a row) but from what I've played, either i should be using a better sd card, or the loading times are quite longer from what I expected.
I seriously thought it the game froze or something due to how long it stayed on a black screen the first time booted it up.
That aside, I really like it. The combat is simple enough for everyone to jump in. I also like that when in a 'Choose a dialogue' moment, you get small rewards depending on what you chose. Shame about the faces not having any emotions ("OH NO, THIS BAD THING HAPPENED" Noctis: >:I). I know this a port of a mobile game, but couldn't at least animate them for the HD version?
BTW, do you need to do something in order to use magic? I've unlocked the abitity to use Fire+, Ice+ and Thunder+, but it doesn't show up during battle.

Any Yonder players here? I've considered this for ages for a bit of chill gaming. Don't know if it is any good or not.
I played both switching between modes but probably majority in portable. Zelda makes no difference except the size of the screen, Mario you will be missing out on the motion controls, but they are pretty bad anyway and it feels much better with the normal controls. If you're new to switch it should be pretty novel and awesome.
It doesn't seem like Yoku sold a lot at full price, but the US/EU sales seems to have attracted quite a few new players. I think the word of mouth for the game has generally been very good, so it will probably continue to sell in the future.
I switched between both. Having Zelda, while curled up on a chair with a brew next to you or on a train with your head in cans, in portable mode is just as engrossing as big screen mode. I have no idea why, but there is a level of engagement with the portable mode that you just cannot quantify.
It's a really nice chill game for me. No combat, really sweet, innocent atmosphere to it. I really enjoy it when I pick it up, I just seem to forget about it, which probably says more about me than the game .
OMG you're in for a treat, probably my favourite game thus far, I didn't want it to end.
I'll just chime in here and say that while SteamWorld Dig 2 didn't blow me away, I also thought it was quite enjoyable. I definitely think the game is way overhyped, but it's still very good.
Well, that second part of Broken Age was a bit harder and more interesting in terms of puzzles.
I had a lot of trouble with one particular puzzle, which is probably the infamous puzzle that is also mentioned in the description on the eShop
I actually tried it before as well. Pretty nasty.
Overall a great, well-rounded point-and-click adventure with puzzles that get harder and more fun towards the end. And more games need talking cutlery.

Yep, smart choice by Vertex Pop to stick with the combo-based gameplay they mastered with GEM and adapt it to another genre. Can't wait for this one!
Damn, the really are too many good games available on the Switch right now. I loved Steamworld Heist and am anxious to play Dig 2. But on top of that, I still want to try:
Doom
Wasteland 2
Captain Toad (I played the demo and ... I could see getting addicted to that quickly)
Mario + Rabbids
Ikaruga
Toki Tori 2+
Cave Story+
Dead Cells
AAAAND I think Dust and Yoku's Island Express look super interesting and good.

Finished The Messenger finally.
Great game. It took me a bit to get a hold on the second part of the game, but once I did it was great fun.

You can use the switch built-in stand also, and get the motion controls when playing on desk/table etc
Oops, sorry you're right. In that case screen size is the only benefit to docked.
The Swindle coming to Switch.
This was one of my most-played games on the Vita, a fantastic 2D stealth/heist game. Reviews don't reflect the later update it got that addressed a couple of bugs. Fantastic little game.

Oh shit! My wife has an unhealthy amount of hours in this game since we got it for free on PS+, if i buy this game on Switch i can say good bye to it...
I know, I hope to god its a good game, my hype is through the roof. I've been wanting a good marble game for a looooong time.
I was holding out for Mark of the Ninja, but this looks like it'll scratch the same itch. And having randomly generated levels should mean lots of replayability, yes?
Yes- you have 100 days to steal the Basilisk, which means up to 100 heists (although you can extend it a bit). Each heist is one level that takes up one day, with you going to wealthier areas for more ill-gotten gains. I've played it through several times and while you see the same enemies etc, the levels change a lot, and also do so during the game as you blow up walls and take out doors and windows etc. It's very replayable, like the best 'rogue-like' games it's got that built in one-more-run appeal, even more so as your thief only has 1hp, a single mistake can end the run instantly. By the end, runs take longer as you case the joint, looking for weaknesses in the layered defences, but you also have far more tool options to adapt your own style too.
There's some lovely thematic music/ambient noise as the ticking of the clock in the background encourages you to rush, when really the game is a mix of playing slowly until you get spotted, and then everything goes really hectic, really fast! The bonus rewards for a) getting everything in the level and b) escaping without being seen really reward good play too, it doesn't mean you can't still destroy much of the security, it's just a case of not being seen while you do it.

I just tried for about half an hour, and I must say I was really enjoying it! I'm not even the rhythm game kind of guy, never actually liked any besides Theatrhythm, but I must say, OSM is good.
Trying to power through Okami HD, but have to admit, I haven't really fallen in love with it yet :/
(first time playing)

Do we know what time the online service goes live? I'm ready for a Zelda 1 replay.
Echoing this, I've had my eye on it.
It's very calming, but it can be a bit overwhelming with all that you can do. Just note that Yonder's core gameplay loop is basically doing a lot of gathering for materials to create things and complete tasks for NPCs. I really enjoyed the game regardless!
I played No Man's Sky, I think this can fit what I want! :D
Is it---and this comes from a lack of knowledge of both titles---like a 3D Stardew Valley? I have that and keep meaning to get stuck into it.
Something tells me I should get a new SD card ASAP.
When installed on the SD card, FF15 wasn't running that great, but now that I've redownloaded it this time on the Switch itself, it goes way faster than before.
Which is weird, because it's a 10 Class SD card. Yes, it's only 16gb and I had for a few years, but I'm surprised it gave me problems when playing ff15. Didn't have problems when i used with my 3DS/WiiU.

Well, I have limited knowledge on Stardew Valley due to not having played it yet (and not wanting to lose my social life to it, ha), but there is some farming you can do in the game. It's much less involved and much more basic than I imagine a Harvest Moon-inspired game like Stardew Valley would be.
There are also Sprites to collect in Yonder, which are hidden all over the place, found from solving simple puzzles, completing quests, and just discovering them through exploration. There are patches of dark miasma that require a certain amount of Sprites to clear up. Once you do so, you gain access to new areas of the map, as well as new farms to put buildings on (crafted through the materials you find throughout the world).
That's the bare basics of the game. I do have a review I wrote on my solo gaming site that I could give you if you have an interest in reading in-depth thoughts. (I'm in the middle of writing an article for a different site, or I'd go into further detail on the game right now. ha)
I asked this in the last thread and a couple users had positive things to say about it. And it has a "Very Positive" consensus from Steam players. I'm definitely picking it up next week.
Trailer for those interested:
All three editions have eShop pages in North America. The normal, the silver, and the gold or whatnot.
I was confused because I thought Antipole DX came out and I never heard about it and now they're removing it already but then I realized they're removing the original game, Antipole. So Antipole DX is completely dead, I assume ... :/
edit: okay their twitter implies it's still alive ...oO
still Thursdays
It's alive, but cancelled for Nintendo platforms. So, if you have Steam or PS4, get it there.
