Nintendo Switch: Thread 06

[Lebowski]

I know it’s kind of OT but, just to come back on Amiibo Festival, I played a couple of games with my kids and I enjoyed it. Yeah, there’s very little to it and the main game is mostly random but we still had fun playing it. And a couple of the mini games we can access are fun. I like the balloon one. It’s a bit like pachinko.

the island survival game is pretty fun too having to manage your resources and work together so you don't starve is a lot more interesting than the random very dull board game.

Apparently Freedom Planet is now out on Switch; if any of you like 16-bit style 2D platformers, I strongly recommend it. I think it's fantastic; like a cross between Sonic and Rocket Knight Adventures. Of the indie "wannabe 16-bit" games I've played, it's one of the few that has really nailed it in my eyes.

Ahhh, game saves backed up

Did you haxx?

[Brad]

Yes I did! Just looking to see if I can back up my cart games onto an SD to avoid having to kart them around with me.

Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes launches on 18 January 2019

I'm a fan of NMH. I purchased the first two games on Wii to the point that I even double-dipped on NMH 2 just so I could own the JPN "Hopper's Edition" limited-edition boxset of the game.

Clearly, Travis Strikes Back is "NMH 2.5", setting the scene for a potential NMH 3 which I would genuinely love to see Suda51 make. But I will not be purchasing this unless a complete physical version is made available. Digital-only will be a complete and utter deal-breaker, as will that half physical, half-digital crap that certain Switch games have pulled in recent times.

Yeah, I'm not a person who requires physical releases unlike some members of the forum, but this stuff can **** right off. I've not gone near any of these.

I don't necessarily require physical releases for everything either, but there are clear examples on Switch (Capcom arguably being chief offenders here - Resi Revelations, Mega Man Legacy Collection, etc.) where there clearly wouldn't have been a massive effort required to make physical versions.

Valkyria Chronicles Remastered will be available via eShop only on September 27 (Japan) and October 16 (US and Europe).
Purchase Valkyria Chronicles 4 via eShop and you'll get a 25% discount out of its $19.99 price. If you're going physical for VC4, no such luck.
Really, Sega? Not even a coupon? Maybe they will. Hopefully.

I can't believe that Monster Hunter super X generations MAX Champ edition whatever is 30fps.

Has anyone found a good bluetooth dongle for headphones for Switch?

[Soundwave]

Are there any good Arcade Sticks for the Switch yet?

I'm mulling over the Hayabusa V from Hori.
