Almost sounds like this developer shouldn't be supported.

I wont support them at launch because I don't trust that they'll make a competent product without game breaking bugs that go unpatched for 4 years. They have some trust to build back up.

I been going through Dead Cells lately. Not a huge fan of Roguevania, but I like the gross/dark tone of the game.

Did anyone get Shakedown Hawaii? I wanna hear your impressions. I'm trying to decide if I want it on Switch or wait and get it for 3DS.

some e3 plans from nintendo, its a lot so i wont C/P it here.

Direct details: The presentation, which focuses entirely on software, will offer a look at games scheduled to launch in 2019.

ya thats the big one, i should have put that.

Yeah that's what stood out the most to me.

I'm hooked on Diablo III right now. I plan to play every class. Once you have a max level guy leveling a new char is faster and more fun with all the +exp gear you can make and super high level gems to socket.

Wait until you get the gem that removes level requirements for slotted weapons. Whooooooo!

where where. I heard of gem of easing but I need to grind my wizard a while.

Not that I know of.
With Retro City Rampage I originally tried it for around 30 minutes on PS Vita and didn't like it at all. I waited a while and tried it on PlayStation 3 next but again didn't like it. A couple years later the 3DS version was in an eShop Humble Bundle (which I really wish they'd do another one for Switch eShop games) so I tried it yet again. I don't really know what it was, but this time I liked it and played all the way through it. Just for that reason alone I was considering getting the 3DS version of Shakedown Hawaii, though I'm not 100% decided yet. I still play 3DS pretty much daily, so it's not like I'd be dusting it off just for this one game.

edit: Judging by some of the reviews I've seen, I think I should wait for a sale no matter which system I get it on.

Decent e-shop sale:

https://slickdeals.net/f/13071136-nintendo-switch-...

Alot of games on my wanted list, many metroidvanias. I'm interested in and haven't played: The Messenger, Guacameles, Owlboy, Steamworld Digs. Probably get the first SWD for $3 and one more.

I haven't played anything on sale (except Worms) and I enjoy good classics, anything else I should consider?

Yooka-Laylee for $20...worth it or not?

No. I was a backer on kickstarter and this game has some really bad level design and pretty much no soul. I would say the most I would pay is $10-15. I'm a huge fan of 3D platformers and I didn't like this game very much. I think they patched some things but the game really needed a pretty big overhaul.

Thanks. I don't see it coming down anymore than that. A bad game is a bad game. I don't care how much they charge.

A Hat in Time is a better game if you've never played it and they're the same price and the Spyro collection is also better even though its about $10 more. There are a lot of better 3D platformers. Really disappointed in this game as well since Banjo Kazooie is tied for my #1 favorite game of all time and this game initially seemed to be made with that game in mind.

No. $10 max if you adore this type of game. My son liked it for awhile but then kinda got stuck progressing, and I found it pretty dull overall. It has it's moments but it's a budget impulse pickup for sure.

I nabbed Mutant Mudd and SteamWorld Heist..how is OwlBoy?

For anyone that was interested in Saints Row 3 on Switch, you might want to hold off for a little while. There were a few bugs in the game that the devs were saying would be fixed in a day one patch and here we are on launch day and now the devs say the patch has been delayed until at least next week. In the mean time the game doesn't exactly run so great and is prone to crashing.

Very good, solid 2D platform-action game. It starts a bit slow, but it's a really solid game. I also picked those other two up four cheap. I'm thinking about FastRMX and Steamworld Dig, even thigh I own the Wii U versions for both.

Owlboy is on sale on the eshop for 14 bucks. Worth it?

bonham2 wrote:

I just played Fast RMX last night for the first time in probably 8 or 9 months. I suck in the single player mode, it gets too difficult too early. So I decided to try some online races and only one other person was playing. I did a few races against him while hoping more people would join, but it never happened so I played something else. If you were thinking of getting it for the multiplayer, I wouldn't recommend it unless you have people locally to play with.

I picked up Guacamele, SWD, and The Way (so far). $12.99 after gold coins earned by each purchase (plus a few I had from Gunman Clive). Tempted to pick up Mutant Mudds $3 and Guns Gore & Canoli $6-7. I'm assuming we'll see some good sales going through e3.

I didn't realize asking a legitimate question would get me negged but whatever lol I guess Owlboy isn't worth $14 bucks.

Definitely check out gameplay vids and some reviews. If I recall correctly, it wasn't worth full price, but on sale it might be worthwhile. It looks gorgeous, that's for sure.

You must be new here

Thanks for the heads up. Was thinking about it but then looked at my current switch games I still need to beat. Skyrim, FFX, FFXII, Diablo III, Valkyrie Chronicles 4. Then Crash Team Racing and Bloodstained in June. No time.

@TalonJedi87 I didn't like owl boy but I only played it for a couple of hours, on a plane trip home. Wasn't engaging enough for me and I didn't care for the controls. It just didn't grab me enough to want to keep going.

I picked up the "Big Block" Tetris 99 DLC for $10. It includes an offline version of Tetris 99 (1-5 difficulty) and a marathon mode (either 150 lines or basically classic mode.. 999 lines). There will be a second pack released later in the year, looks like 2 more games based on the current layout. I hope one is type b.

Nice! I think I'll pick that up. Always down for marathon, I was sad it wasn't in the base

I played one 99 offline game on level 1 and absolutely destroyed them. I read level 5 is insanely difficult.

Is there a local multilayer mode in any of these?

On local MP, I haven't seen it in this release.

First impression on level 5 seems to be about as difficult as your average online contest give or take, maybe a little easier. Only played a few matches though.

That looks interesting. I've certainly put in enough time to justify the purchase. I've bought a bunch from the latest sales. I got Urban Trial with the DLC, Splasher, and a few others. Right now I'm playing Sky Force Reloaded, which is actually a lot of fun. I need to pick up Cuphead, but I won't be able to play it for awhile.

I love those Sky Force games. The 2nd one was pretty much the only thing I played for almost a month straight. Very well done SHMUPS.

The Way is very decent so far, and at $.99 it's a no brainer if you like exploration puzzlers. One chapter in the story/ atmosphere is well done, and I love the look. Really interested to see where it goes.

No, it really isn't. I only played the CPU on level 5 twice. I won the second time, no problem.

I was wondering about that one. I may have to give it a try.

anyone else pick up Saints Row the 3rd?

I beat Blaster Master Zero 2, Guacamelee 2, and The Messenger the past 2 days (and Dead Cells kinda)

I am becoming a bigger and bigger fan of Switch's indie scene

The Switch Pound per Pound has some of the best games out right now. Just not all the top AAA games. For the Indie and Japan support alone it is worth it. I honestly am considering getting rid of my xbox and ps4 and just keeping my Switch and PC for gaming.

I got it on sale and have been playing through it. The graphics/art, music and the platforming is pretty solid. The controls aren't as tight as MARIO, but it's pretty fun IMO

Some of the puzzles later in the game are real head scratchers. I've had to look two up so far. It's actually held my interest more than Steam World Dig and Guacamelee so far cause the story hooked me right away.

I picked up. Im enjoying it as I'm a fan of GTA and have only played SR2 which I enjoyed. I have noticed some frame rate dip pretty frequently, but I'm good until the patch comes out... assuming it will fix those things.

KCPenguins wrote:


So just finished it. Definately a handful of frustrating moments due to the controls and how slow your character moves. The last stage was a step up in non puzzle difficulty. Really enjoyed the story as light as it was it had a lot of depth of that makes any sense.

Mario Maker 2 Direct announced for tomorrow!

https://twitter.com/NintendoAmerica/status/1128298...

has anybody talked about Shakedown Hawaii?

Still curious about it.. really enjoyed Retro City and just wanted to hear someone thoughts about this one.

DarkLink wrote:

Me and PizzatheHutt were asking if anyone got it, but no one piped up. I enjoyed Retro City DX, but will wait a price drop for shakedown Hawaii

One of my friends did buy it. He liked it enough to finish it but did have some trouble with glitches. He recommended to wait for a sale because by then it should hopefully be patched up.

Is anyone else picking up the new Sonic kart racer next week? I admit it doesn't look as good as the last one, but I'm just kinda bored enough of the same old tracks in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for the past 5 years that Sonic and Crash Team Racing will be welcome additions to my Switch library.

Switch has overtaken the PS4 in lifetime sales in Japan. This year the Switch is going to be a monster over there with Pokémon, Yukai Watch, Dragon Quest, Animal Crossing, and Fire Emblem.

I'm enjoying OwlBoy, but these controls feel like crap.

Get ready boys!

That was...awesome. I need to change my pants.

That looked really cool. People are going to be finding all kinds of new creative way to draw dicks.

WOW! Mario Maker 2 looks incredible! They're adding so much stuff! Lots of cool/useful things I hadn't even considered, like stopping the screen from scrolling so you can keep areas concealed. The only thing I was really hoping to see that they didn't show was more power-ups, but I think we'll still get them. They said they didn't show everything. The coolest/most surprising thing was how switching level themes to night gives them unique features, like underground being upside down, sky having less gravity, etc.

I hope that in Mario Maker 3 they add a Mairo 64-like creation tool since it looks like they've pretty much added just about anything 2D related I could think of at this point.

It was interesting when they showed switching to Super Mario 3D World, there was an empty space next to it. I beat they'll add SMB2 eventually.

I need to watch it again but it doesn't seem liked they changed/improved much with the online interface, other than adding some new modes. That's disappointing.

Only 2.8 gb...digital purchase for moi. The multiplayer looks great.

They added the ability to select up to two level type descriptors (standard, puzxle, short, auto, etc.), rate levels as good AND *bad*, and have you the ability to search in game by these categories. It's not exactly what I wanted, but it's a heck of a lot more than I expected.

I just hope the users rate appropriately, and Nintendo cracks down on crapty levels. I'd like to see the ability to link levels online to create a game (screw the over world map many online are asking for). Would really like to see SMB2, but that's a pipe dream (or DLC).

Honestly it looks great. Day one buy for me, might even go digital.

I just sold my XB1 as I haven't touched it in months. I play the Switch regularly.

Ps4 gets too many rpgs and great exclusives for me to get rid of it, but I've used my Xbox as sad amount this gen because there just haven't been that many games. What I've played I really liked quite a bit.. but there hasn't been many I've been interested in lately. Haven't played much since rdr2. If you look at the store and game pass there are hundreds to play but just not for me in most cases.

Way too invested in the digital ecosystem of all three and PC not to have everything

It all depends on what you're into. I'm big into racing games and so far the X1 is the best console to date for that genre. Game Pass has also really stepped it up in the past few months and its getting to the point that I'm wondering if I should even bother buying new games any more because of additions of things like Prey, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Just Cause 4, Wolfenstein NC, Forza Horizon 4, and Wargroove, not to mention everything else that MS is releasing this year like Gears 5, Battletoads, Void Bastards, Ninja Theories new game, and Ori 2. I could understand the lack of appeal if you're big into JRPGs though.

Bayonetta 3 gameplay coming next week according to the game's producer.

http://gaminrealm.com/bayonetta-3-gameplay-coming-...

ya not being that into racers or FPS there is less appeal, but i play alot of the big multiplat third parties there like rdr2 and ghost recon wildlands etc. i'll play gears 5, battletoads and just cause at some point too. stuff like rpgs and yakuza are my go to's though.

as far as switch goes my next one there is definitely fire emblem, i'll be arranging my play time to be available right away for that.



https://gematsu.com/2019/05/fire-emblem-three-hous...

SO MUCH new fire emblem stuff

KCPenguins wrote:

My guess is by rating a level as bad it just makes it so you won't run into it again the next time you play 100 Mario Challenge (or whatever that gets replaced with) and that rating a level bad won't actually be seen by the level's creator because they wouldn't want kids' feelings to get hurt.

Just in time for MM2:

https://slickdeals.net/f/13083643-nintendo-50-esho...

I just grabbed Phoenix Wright and FF X/X-2 physical edition imports. Love having physical copies when I can get it, and the FF X/X-2 combo in the states is part cart and part code...that's lame. So I guess Japan/Asia copies have both games on one 32GB cart and play normally in English. PRetty excited to replay X and never played X-2, so that'll be another thing. Going to be a big year for switch.

X is my all time favorite FF game, just amazing, even today.

X2 isn't as good, but it's got its own flavor that I do like.

As far as I know there are only two Switch games that ship on 32GB carts (Dragon Quest Heroes I&II being the other, which released at Switch's launch) and neither released outside of Japan. Why are publishers here so cheap? We got Wolfenstein coming in July and when you buy the physical version it's literally just a download code in the box, so they couldn't even be bothered to do the half-on-cart/half-download like other big games do.

All 4 Mega Man collections are on sale now, and the Castlevania collection is available today.

Whoa maybe I missed it - but MM2 is going to be $65!? It says Limited Edition on Amazon, so is there a normal edition?

Will shell out that money regardless, the recent announcements have me pumped. I just can't believe how pricey it is.

It's 59.99 on eshop and 69.99 for the game and 12 month sub to NSO

Neat thanks, think I'll be snagging it digitally.
