You mean carrion Kryss? not sure about the digital version maybe the reason you can't see it because it's either already included or you have to access the eshop from inside the game. In the cart version it boots up to this screen but there's no eshop stuff inside, i haven't seen the digital version to see how that's set up. When you select a game from the menu it then boots to it's own title screen.

So, what I'm hearing is that I should buy it so I can tell everyone? Sounds good to me

Most disliked of Nintendo's videos, they have a long way before reaching Youtube's own video with almost 20 milion dislikes.

Meant to say most disliked current video.

As there is no first play thread, for you Carrion players that have finished it, how to do you deal with getting lost. Having no map or even something as helpful as a small text box saying 'go this area next' on the background LCD screens, i'm find the further i get into the game the harder it is to make progress.

->Open Spoiler<-

Finished the Nuclear Plant area(aside from the containment bit, there some sticky mine i can't get pass so i assume it some ability i'll get later) and got the 3rd form with the pull hooks. Spent over an hour going around in circles hovering over all the connecting warps to see what % of progress they are at and it all 66%(with only a containment secret area to get into) or 100%.

Meanwhile Nintendo has had to revise down what it expects to sell as chip shortages mean they will be producing 20% less Switches this financial year than intended

[dataDave]

Let's hope they make up for that by producing more software instead.

Gah, Nintendo are so infuriating. Breath of the Wild, an absolute masterpiece, the Mario game probably the same but not my cup of tea. Everything else about the Switch ranges from disappointing to garbage. Disappointing: pro controller issues, poor: joy con drift with no fix in sight, battery life, no game save backup without a subscription, garbage: these emulated titles. Their QA is all over the place and the Joycons themselves are yet another gimmick. I don't think we've seen much use of them detached/waggling after the first batch of titles have we? (I'm prepared to be corrected on this one), hence the lite where they don't come off because really, they never needed to in the first place.

[wakka]

I've got to disagree on the JoyCons being a gimmick. I think the design of the Switch must absolutely rock for kids with how versatile it is. I mean, tear a chunk off your Gameboy so you can play two player with a friend? I would've loved that back in the day!

As a boring grown up who never plays local multiplayer and doesn't have to share his TV with anyone, I never actually use mine. My Switch is behind the TV and I use a Pro controller. But I still think they're a brilliant idea with mostly brilliant execution. The reliability issues are the only thing that really lets them down.

At the end of the day the Switch is a toy and I think the JoyCons make it a much better one that it would be if the only model that existed was the Lite.

And for the boring grown ups, there's always the Pro pad

[Dogg Thang]

I guess the reliability is a big deal though, especially when considering kids. I do think the build quality of the main unit is very poor and the drift issue is terrible and absolutely awful that they have done nothing about such a consistent issue. For me, I love the joy-cons and I love the system but it should be much greater quality than it currently is. I don't know if the main casing issues are any better on the OLED yet. Maybe it's a better build?

[wakka]

Yeah, that's true. It's not excusable. They should have fixed those problems.

No idea on the OLED model. But for anything substantial in terms of fixes we are waiting for the Switch 2 it looks like.
