This has five million views.

Sure you could argue some of that is people gawking at the weird thing but the follow up concert 3 years later has 2 million. People really really like Splatoon. You can't pretend that this fan remix by the almighty Gyari doesn't slap.

Splatoon 2 sold nearly 12 million copies worldwide. So yeah, it's definitely a popular franchise for Nintendo.

I ignored the first game, but playing Splatoon 2 online was fun. I just wish I didn't get motion sickness while playing the campaign.

As long as Nintendo isn't stupid with their cash reserves, and some outside conglomerate doesn't attempt a hostile takeover, they really do have time on their side.

Just gotta wait out these young'uns, "Microsoft" and "Sony." :snob

I'm a huge Nintendo fan and the only Nintendo games that have gotten over 100 hours of play time in the last decade have been splatoon 1 and splatoon 2

Followed by botw at like 70 hours

And minecraft is essentially a Nintendo game

Man, Super Mario 3D World is short as hell. Took 12 hours to 100% it. (barring beating the levels with every character to get their stamps.)

Edit: Also, wow. Bowser's Fury is insanely good so far. I don't understand how they keep making it look so effortless to make a good 3D platformer.

I played for a few hours last week and was surprised I already made it to the world 7 castle. But I'll have to go back and get the shit I missed on a lot of stages.
Will I finally be able to beat Champion's Road this time around? We shall see...
I feel I'm "better" and have more patience with games than I did back in 2014. Playing a lot of retro games lately has helped with that.

I up and finally pulled the trigger on one of these things.  Found the AC Edition online, and I had old paypal funds I completely forgot about, so I dumped it on this and the Animal Crossing game.   I'm a bit excited, but a bit weary, as the thought of starting a new library of games when I have the greatest backlog I've ever had still elsewhere.  ...and the thought of prices for games on this thing are absurd as well.  ...maybe that's a good thing, as it will help prevent me from getting too much.  :doge

Yeah, for now... I think the 2 games I definitely want to get my hands on personally, are Mario Odyssey and Link's Awakening.

Now, the waiting game for the Zelda 35th Anniversary Direct to drop. :doggy

Another good JRPG on Switch
 :lawd

Been playing Sakuna: of Rice and Ruin, along with 3D World. After playing a fuck ton of 3D Mario the past year, 3D World is absolutely the most fun I've had with Mario in general. Best level design and pacing of any platformer.

Tempted to pick up BD2 but I want to finish BD1 first, and maybe play BD Second. Also no way I'd get to this before MH Rise is out in a month, so buying it at $60 when it'll be $30-40 in a couple months when I actually have time to play it is dumb.

Then again, pandemic boredom = oooh new rpg buy endorphins yayyy and then play an hour and shelve it. Trying to stay strong and save that $20-30.

Downloaded the demo for FFCC Remastered, big mistake, I'm almost certainly going to be shelling out $30 for the full version when I hit the demo limits. 😬 The demo is essentially the full game including online, just with some minor limits, and you can transfer your save to the full version later if you want.

I know the gameplay isn't everyone's cup of tea, and it is much more basic than the two DS games (Ring of Fates and especially Echoes of Time) that vastly improved on the formula, and the online is region-segmented and likely dead now, but... nostalgia is a hell of a drug. :P And the presentation still holds up.

If anyone else has it and wants to play online before MH Rise takes over my life at the end of March, let me know! :D

I also just learned only the host needs to have bought the full version, everyone else can be a free/"Lite" player. :o And even if it's region limited, PS4 + Switch + iOS + Android cross-play is pretty cool.

Bravery Default 2 is pretty awesome and addictive. The writing is good, the story itself has been a bit generic, but the music and gameplay are excellent.

Having the ability to jack up battle speed and repeat your last turn makes grinding next to painless. I've basically done all the prologue stuff, about to head where the demo takes place, but I've found a very efficient way to master jobs quickly.

The Freelancer job has two JP passives (Jobber points) , it ups the JP you get by x1.7. Combine that with using lure to trigger consecutive battles with specific families of monsters, you're looking at 500 JP for a juicy battle.

OH!

You can also use the boat to passively collect job experience orbs while you're not playing the game. I'm spending them to unlock the JP boost abilities. Hopefully that will help out reducing the playtime from 60 to 40 hours.

Overall it's pretty good. Poor story, good combat.

The story seems even worse in this game compared to the first BD. At least there the characters were charming and had some conflict between them that was fun to follow. Here everyone is so buddy buddy right from the get-go and it's pretty boring.

Also, games are miracles that they even happen, somehow you get all this talent and resources together and you create something............so generic. Why? I mean I guess that's the point of BD, to be a throwback. But I think I'm tired of generic whatever fantasy in Japanese RPGS. They all feel the same. Here's the desert Arabian place...Here's the European castle place.. and so on. These aren't interesting worlds to learn about.

I don't know it's ok.

Indeed. I'm maybe 4 hours in and all characters are a lot more bland compared to the first two Bravely Defaults. That being said it's still a lot better written than e.g. Alliance Alive or I am Setsuna.

Was considering getting an good ol JRPG on this thing.  Is there one that's a must have/play one on the Switch that you all recommend?  I've kinda narrowed down between DQXI and Xenoblade Chronicles.  Never played DQXI, and only played a portion of XB.  Is there any other one's y'all would recommend over those? Is Octopath Traveler better?

It's difficult to make recommendations without knowing your preferences. I don't consider any game on the Switch a must play even though it's a fantastic system.

I haven't enjoyed any of the Xenoblade games. I also didn't enjoy Final Fantasy XII which uses a similar combat system.

Dragon Quest XI is possibly the best game in the series. If you enjoy traditional JRPGs then that's your best bet.

I really enjoyed Octopath Traveler, but ended up dropping it towards the end.

I took a brief look at some "best RPGs for the Switch" articles. Many list games like The Witcher 3 and Divinity: Original Sin that I would much rather play on PC.

See, I completely forgot about FFXII on here.. Another game I only played a portion of, but dropped for some reason I can't remember back then.  And I didn't know Divinity was on here either.   :thinking
I'm down for almost anything turn based, or pseudo turn based (like FFXI & XB).  I think my current thought process is something shorter, but I'm totally in the wrong genre for shortness.  :-[
Why can't RPG's just be shorter like Suikoden 1 and Chrono Trigger? :-\   I'm just putting out feelers.. I'm probably never going to find time to actually complete one, but it'd be nice to at least have something to have on the side.  Octopath looks amazing, guess I'm wondering if the story (stories?) will keep my interest.

If you enjoy older RPGs then there are plenty to choose from on the Switch. There are collections for the Mana and SaGa (Final Fantasy Legend) series, SNK 40th anniversary collection, a Mega Drive collection, the Final Fantasy games from PS1 and PS2, an improved version of Phantasy Star, etc. If you pay for Nintendo Online you also have some RPGs in the NES and SNES collections, e.g. Breath of Fire.

Many classic RPGs are missing, but if you want to feel nostalgic for a few hours then there are many alternatives.

I'd definitely put it in like top20-ish. Maybe would make the top10. In the last 15 years or whatever since it came out? Probably top5. Not a lot of great jrpgs in the last two decades.

Yeah, I can't see this even if you don't like XC1.

Like maybe the battle system in XC2 is better. I never really liked XC2's battle system, so I wouldn't even give it that, but a lot of people really like XC2's combat. But like the field exploration is way worse, no contest. All that field skill gating bullshit? Gatcha pulls? Sidequests hidden behind gatch pulls and grinding dozens of different blades? Yeah, the field in XC2 look nice, but the field gameplay is mobile tedious shit. Even has a mobile mercenaries mode. XC1 fields are just straight up exploring, fighting and finding loot.

And the story is so much worse in XC2, the cast is a bunch of crappy lolis, the music is generally worse outside some locations. Basically XC2 is just prettier, has more lolis & tits, and a more flashy combat system.

Also XC2 barely has any mechs so it loses a ton there. XC1 has giant dead gods and awesome mecha shit. Also adult characters and a compelling story with twists and turns.

I think Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is the worst game that Takahashi's directed. Xenosaga ep2 is worse but he didn't direct that iirc.
