Ventana posted:From a friend who loved N64 rare games, it seems like it's a old Rare game with all the good and bad it entails. Fun writing, good music, some clever gameplay ideas, bad boss battles, levels can end up feeling like a chore. As long as you don't over-idolize the genre it'll probably end up being okay. If I'm ever bored or it gets a good sale I may check it out. But at the pace Nintendo is cranking out the Switch hits, that's not likely to happen anytime soon.

Feenix posted:Only a couple fringe reviews, but I think I'm backing away from my intent to buy Phantom Trigger. Sounds mediocre at best. one of the primary functions, the whip, is needed to move poo poo towards you and the things you move with it crash into you like every loving time. this isn't entirely why I dislike the game but it's just one of many "loving really?" moments. it's like Hyper Light Drifter if they tried to add better combat but hosed it up and made exploration+encounters insanely boring.

Gumdrop Larry posted:Has there been any indication of a Hollow Knight release date? The game looks cool and I've resisted steam sales for it because I'd like it on Switch but it still seems nebulous from what I can find. I keep checking http://teamcherry.com.au/ but they've not set anything firm, as is wise. They did convey that it was their next main focus after the recent patch came out, and that came out a week or so ago, so I wouldn't be surprised if there's a concrete date by the end of the month. I also get the impression that they're puttin' in a legitimate effort to secure a physical release. Which is just (bitter) icing on the cake (is worse than ice cream). Dr Cheeto posted:The Switch is the perfect console for the entire Jackbox series I don't even have friends but I find the YDKJ trivia game delightful and that's just two days before I go to a birthday bar crawl. Gonna bring an external speaker and hope people have charged phones.

I have strongly considered ordering a bootleg Splatoon hat off Amazon. I'd far prefer it to be the real deal, but I gotta be fresh. Edit: found an official Nintendo on from the NYC store on eBay for $50 + shipping.

Switch does not get convention-floor loud so I'm guessing it doesn't get rowdy bar loud. Also I already have a portable bluetooth speaker. And an 1/8" audio cable.

It's hosed up that there are multiple levels of cold in Zelda. You eat a cold resistance food but it turns out the top of a robot bird is double-cold so gently caress your spicy beef

Bill Barber posted:If you equip a flame weapon it counts as 1 level of cold resistance which is really loving ingenious. BotW is full of little "well technically this should work... holy poo poo it actually works!" moments. This was one of my favorite things about BotW. Testing out stuff that logically should work grants results. Furthering what can happen if a fire weapon is equipped, you can melt ice blocks by just standing next to them. It takes a bit of time, but it works.

Haven't tried Xbox controllers yet, but I expect they'll be equally good. I still occasionally get unintended hard drops on tetris though, so I think that's more an issue with PPT having some lovely oversensitive controls than the controllers themselves.

I'll second this, I love Rare's N64 era to death but I'll be the first to admit that they're not perfect (outside of the first Banjo-Kazooie) and Yooka-Laylee follows that perfectly. If you love the Banjo-Kazooie games you'll love YL but there are some parts that are kinda meh.

Real hurthling! posted:It controls good on ps4 and vita It's the Pro controller's D-pad for sure, not PPT. I can reproduce the "I pushed left/right, not up" defect in any game or any system menu. I wish Nintendo would stop being Nintendo and just issue a recall or extended warranty about it. AFAIK they don't even acknowledge the problem. Edit: oh wups, you guys were talking about some adapter. Oh well the Pro D-pad still sucks.

I got my physical MK8D a day late from Amazon and saved $25 off MSRP. Worth it.

Real hurthling! posted:It controls good on ps4 and vita It seems like if I do a hard drop and don't let go of up quickly enough, it'll also hard drop the next 1-2. Does that happen on other versions? But, at least it doesn't have the Pro issue I had where pressing any other given direction also has a chance of passing an up input. Oddly though, with the pro I can't replicate the up inputs anymore when clicking left / right in the home menu / other games, so I don't know if it was a matter of breaking it in, or what. raditts fucked around with this message at 15:16 on Aug 11, 2017 |

Hadn't played the first one so I was unsure if I would keep it. I love it. That being said I don't think I'll be buying many Japanese games. It was cool to do once just to say I did.

Those games aren't very similar to one another, but if I had to get one right now I would get Phantom Trigger because I'm not a huge fan of puzzle games. Though Ironcast looks fun as well. Here's my set of games I can't decide between. Phantom Trigger, Wonder Boy, Slime San, Blaster Master, Shantae, and Mighty Gunvolt Burst. Too many action games on this system!
