The base game is $15 off ($45) so I might just get that. Unless the DLC missions involve Creek.

If you want Craig/Tweek romance stuff you'll find plenty in the main game, no worries there.

$20 off Splatoon 2

Yeah, saw that and picked it up with the octo expansion

I did, too. I guess I'm officially a Ningenerate now.

wait for spaceworld? 

[Tasty]

Not having the shame of having bought Splatoon 2

[kingv]

Man I really shouldn't spend anything right now but Samus Returns for $28 is tempting as fuuuuuuck.

Samus returns is highly good so far.

I’m about halfway through it or so, and it’s at least as good as fusion or zero mission, imo.

Dockless package could make sense for households who want multiple switches 🤷‍♀️

I nabbed Rabbids Gold edition, and will probably get Hollow Knight too...

I’m definitely going to need to Re-up on Eshop funds next time they go on sale.

[Human Snorenado]

...I'm tempted to get Zelda, even tho I played it on Weeeeeeooooooooooo last year. But I'm having plenty of fun with Mario Odyssey and the Octopath Traveler demo, plus I've got plenty of games on other systems I'm fucking with so whatever. Should just wait until they release a greatest hits version for cheaper in like 5 years.

[Joe Molotov]

I wish Octopath would just let me grind the demo as much I want. I'm gonna buy the game ffs, you already got me, okay?

[Nintex]

Panic Button to announce another port next month

This Octopath soundtrack tho

Some special fellow would probably Lv99 everyone and break the game off of lv5 max enemies. Its a mercy.

I'd get a dockless Switch for my wife but only because I already bought a second dock

Splatoon reminds me of Dreamcast-era Sega.

I'm rank A- in Splatoon 2

In one game mode. 
And I barely got there. 
And I was carried in the last few matches I played. 

[Great Rumbler]

It's also got a pretty great soundtrack:

[tiesto]

I didn't play multiplayer altogether too much but I had a kick going through the single player, collecting all the medals and such. Some really neat level design and stage hazards that unfortunately don't come into play very much in multi. Definitely gonna give the Octo Expansion DLC a try soon.

[Human Snorenado]

Bork, I am not supporting musou games, end of discussion. I have standards.

[Human Snorenado]

Snorenado, would you rather be a kid or a squid?

[kingv]

Why not both?

 

[Tasty]

Age of consent doesn't apply to squids

[Trent Dole]

Spent an hour or two playing around with Splatoon 2 and man, this game is fantastic. Fucked around with multi and ended up really enjoying it, played some single player and really liked it. It has a “hip” urban Japan aesthetic, unique and arcadey gameplay, and a creepy fan base. It’s basically a smattering of Dreamcast games done Nintendo style, which makes it kinda like a Gamecube game

Either way I'm loving it. Guess I'm a kid now, I'm a squid now.

The entire game is a recycling/repurposing of the FLUDD water backpack from Super Mario Sunshine, so yes, that's exactly what it is.

[bork]

You bought a Nintendo product for a waifu game- standards erased.
 

[Corporal]

How about something wholesome for a change, you reprehensible cretins.


Guys, if you can stomach pinball-infused Metroidvania gameplay and a dungbeetle protagonist, then by all means give Yoku's Island Express a try.

It's unexpectedly fantastic.

Great graphics, awesome artwork (with the beetle being the least likeable design), good OST, loading screen free aside from the initial/savegame loading. Also, tons of fun to play.

I'm impressed. Thank you, random drunken evening eshop buying spree.

I guess this game sold like three dozen copies total? Why the fuck did they plaster the ugly bug on the cover image. Also: How the fuck did this end up with the Worms guys (Team17) in the first place.

[Tasty]

Every time I see that game's title in articles and videos I read it as Yoshi's Island every single time.

[kingv]

Is the Majestic team developing the daemon x whatever much game the same one that makes Senran Kagura? No more kiddie games for me!

Looks like it's some of the team from Monster Hunter: Stories game on the 3DS.

[bork]

Got Steamworld Dig 2 and Musynx (physical) yesterday.

Not sure if Musynx is for me- it's another music game but am not really feeling the music for the most part.  It was pretty cheap with the Amazon discount though.  Steamworld is fuckin' AMAZING.  I think I may like it more than Hollow Knight.

[demi]

Finished Xenoblade 2, the story was trash and Kingdom Hearts is better at making up shit

Is Octopath out yet? Went back to my majestic Vita 

[Human Snorenado]

July 13th for Octopath, so no

[bork]

Captain Toad demos are up on the Japanese and European eShops.  The J-version runs in English.

[Cerveza mas fina]

Man I cant wait to pickup Captain Toad cheap someday

[bork]

Captain Toad looks pretty good on the Switch (handheld- didn't try it docked), but has a dynamic resolution thing going on that I don't remember being in the Wii U version.  The resolution gets pretty low during some parts of the third demo level (the first "boss fight" stage against the dragon), but the framerate stays stable and it didn't bother me.  Saw a number of "not buying it now because of this!!!!" posts on REEEEEEEEE, but whatever.

One thing I don't like is that the new levels being added, based on Mario Odyssey stages, are going to be replacing the levels that the Wii U version had from 3D World.

wtf

[Joe Molotov]

It’s not a port, original game confirmed. Nintendo does it again.

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

Admittedly, if I were Nintendo, I too would pretend that 3D World didn't exist.

[Human Snorenado]

...this console has been out for over a year and STILL doesn't have apps for Netflix and Prime Video on it??? REGGIE PLZ

[Nintex]

I bet they're doing a port of 3D World in November which has those levels included anyway.
"You want more Captain Todd levels? Buy Mario 3D World Switch"

Both games run on the same engine so it doesn't make sense to not port them both.
Maybe a New 3DS port as well.

[Trent Dole]

Netflix is incoming soon, don't recall if prime is just yet, a quick search didn't really say.

[kingv]

Labo now compatible with mario kart 8. Checkm8.

[Human Snorenado]

Can't get Netflix or Youtube on your console but can take the time to make your child's cardboard toy bullshit compatible with Mario Kart

Please Understand™

[kingv]

I played with a labo at Best Buy the other day, and it is kind of neat, but it’s maybe about $35 neat and not $80 neat.

The biggest weak point is that the games it has are kind of weak. The accessories work pretty well for what they are, but are quite obviously made out of cardboard, and it is no better cardboard than any other cardboard no matter what anybody says.

I was pretty impressed with how clever a lot of the gadgets were. The piano is pretty ingenious once you realize how it works, but once it’s built I couldn’t see messing with it for more than 30 minutes.

The motorcycle game was really weak, but it worked well. I could see it being fun with Mario kart.

they ha a whole demo station set up for labo? How did that work?

I picked up Labo purely for the building of the items. I don't know why but the marketing brought me back to being a kid and putting together Legos/Lincoln logs/etc. I've only had time to put together the car, fishing, and house. I definitely had more fun assembling than playing. I have no regrets myself but then again my childhood was filled with the aforementioned toys.

There was a woman with all of the toycons already put together and a switch. She’d show people how it worked and give them Nintendo swag, like stickers, screen cleaning cloths, and notebooks.

[agrajag]

god damn the joycons suck for platforming. No d-pad and the thumb stick is so imprecise. 

[Corporal]

Oh yeah? Try playing Paladins with Joycons. They suck, period.

I mean, their outstanding feature is their detachability and small size, certainly not the quality of their inputs. Priorities.


By the by, jeez. Paladins is such a half-baked mess. Delightfully half-baked mess that I greatly enjoy playing, but nonetheless mess.

Weird joystick acceleration issues in the menus. Helpful loading screen messages peppered with unreplaced placeholder variables, shop pages that stack texts over texts to the point of becoming unreadable, an event with lengthy but unskippable custscenes and whose extensive multiplayer 3D platforming (!!!) sequence in the first half can make your brain melt after a few attempts.

But it's nonetheless pretty damn fun, and there's just something to be said about having a game of this kind on a mobile console.

[Fifstar]

Just started to play Hollow Knight and I'm actually fine with the "button d-pad".

Still sucks that a company that had one of the best d-pads ever (snes) has such a low focus on d-pads on their main controllers since the N64.
