My Divine Edition just came in, and of course GameStop didn't send the exclusive tarot cards. Not a big deal. I've played a couple of chapters. I like the fact that it's more combat focused, and the Engage system seems fun.

They don’t send them in the mail. It’s in store only, if you ordered online you can take your receipt to the store and get yours apparently but it’s while supplies last

Yeah, I see that they changed the description. It originally said that the cards would ship with online orders. I'm good, I would just put them in storage with other pre-order bonus junk I have. I'm up to Chapter 6 now. It's 26 chapters overall and 15 paralogues if anyone is wondering.

Has anyone played Fire Emblem Engage? I read they removed the stupid ass soical aspects/Persona crap of 3 Houses. Might be interested in it if true.

Yeah, it's more focused on combat. The Somniel (hub area) has a bunch of really pointless mini games and stuff, but it's all optional. You don't have to go there between battles if you don't want to. You can even access shops from the world map. The Arena is the most useful thing, since it's free experience. You can do it for any character 3 times after every battle.

I didn't hear anything about Fire Emblem Engage, not even the title, until very recently. Didn't know it was being developed.

Uno is the free game trial going on now through the 29th for + members.

Goldeneye comes to NSO on Friday. I barely even played this game back in the day.

I had a feeling GoldenEye was going to be the next game added. They hadn't added a N64 game in 3 months so I figured they were saving the next game for something big.

The amount of time it’s taking them to fill out the NSO apps is unreal. They’re legit just sitting on the games.

Wouldn’t say that. There’s probably a bit of work in bringing multiplayer online for games like Goldeneye. Looking forward to this.

I'm not necessarily talking about Goldeneye, that one gets a pass because they're apparently revamping the controls and everything, but there's a literal no excuse for NES, SNES or Genesis.

They aren't revamping the controls on Switch... that's supposedly only for Xbox. NES and SNES are basically done first party minus some less popular titles and ones they don't own all the rights to. So everything else will cost them $.

Still excited for 007 on Switch. Unfortunately I have a feeling it will play like crap on a standard controller, and I don't really want to buy an N64 online controller for one game when they are still being scalped (I never pay a premium thus don't buy scalped crap). Will see on Friday I guess.

On a side note, I have no plans on getting an Xbox, but I really hate they omitted online play for them. That really sucks the "best" version is local only.

Did they proximity mine a no smoking sign??? Did I see that right?

@KCPenguins Oh what the frig? I thought the controls were getting a Switch makeover. Well that significantly dampens my hype for its release. Phooey.

And I also didn't realize how close they were to being done with first party SNES/NES games... or how lacking that library is at the end of the day. They should 100% shell out for some other games. Get some NHL on there damnit!

I didn't see nearly as much slowdown in MP in that video. Will wait and see. Debating letting my oldest two try this... they've played Minecraft. lol

Also, social media is going to rip this (these) game(s) to shreds. They have been for years, pretty much since Halo from a console perspective. Earlier on PC.

Welp what else is new tbh

Just stating the obvious.

N64 games..... pretty standard to be ripped to sherds.

I'm gonna play it and have SO MUCH fun, guys.

We should set up a "GTZ Nintendo Switch Goldeneye Night" tbh, just so I can absolutely OBLITERATE you all.

I'd be up for it if my internet speed is willing...

Beings you are theJaw, does that mean you will play as Jaws? :D

I played Goldeneye pretty recently and was surprised how much it held up. Although this is coming from a 39 year old who lived and breathed the N64/PSX days. I imagine a 15-25 year old would hate these. Which is great, a bunch of old folks playing a multiplayer FPS. I might stand a chance haha.

I have often wondered what games hold up and what don't in the eyes of the younger generation. Home consoles have been around 50 years now and have been a part of pop culture for at least 35 of those years. Alot of games those of us born in the early 80s would call classic but would kids coming up today consider them good. That's why I don't really mind remakes, brings classic story and gameplay with modern graphics.

I'm the opposite, I played the crap out of Goldeneye back in it's prime and loved it so much, but now I think it's aged horribly. I've gone back to it a few times in my adult life and each time it seems worse and worse.

That said, I'd probably be down to jump on an online match with some of y'all, that could be fun

I borrowed Bayonetta from the library and the presentation of this game is wild. I never played it on PS3 or Wii U despite owning the 1+2 combo pack on Wii U and 1 on PS3. I'm playing it handheld right now.

Goldeneye is playable now.

Starting up now, we gotta get a GTZ Goldeneye night going soon.

Oh this is awful actually.

The game looks great, unfortunately it plays exactly as I thought it would without an N64 controller. If Xbox got updated modern controls, it's the winner. I'll probably try playing around with custom buttons, but like most n64 games, this just doesn't work well on a standard controller. Hopefully N gets there head out of their ass and releases a decent supply of n64 controllers.

Besides Superman 64.

Same. We played constantly. I went back a handful of years ago and dear god ... It's best to leave this one locked up in the memory vault.

Count me in the minority, I still love it.

Tons of articles and videos on customizing controls already. I had plans to try to somewhat replicate the n64 controls on joycon, but many are showing adjustments to make it "modern" fps controls. Will be playing around with it at home later this afternoon. Once I get something I like best believe I'm ripping through single player again, at least on agent mode.

Yeah, I saw several comments on Reddit that walk you through adjusting the control scheme:

I'm actually much more interested in giving this game another chance with a more modern control scheme.

Can you remap the controls on the Switch version? I'd totally give that a go after work if so.

Yep, check the top comments in that Reddit thread I linked.

GoldenEye was one of the few Nintendo 64 games that supported dual analog sticks by plugging in a second controller (for campaign mode), so that part at least should've translated well to a modern controller.

That's a weird feature.
