Castle Rock is so cool. I never played Legends all the way through: are the rest of the boss levels musical?

The fact that a glut of indie games is hitting the first nintendo console without a platform-mandated-you-must-use-it gimmick since the Gamecube probably isn't a coincidence.

I mean, all Switch games have the platform-mandated-you-must-use-it gimmick, it just happens to be one everyone loves.

Right, but it's also one that appears to either be easy to bake in or at least has some sort of sane default that you can let the hardware deal with automatically, unlike dual screen/touch screen/motion control.

Basically one person is a free-flying reticle that can blast enemies. It makes the game pretty easy but it's pretty fun. Note: I also enjoyed Super Mario Galaxy co-op, which is similar but Blaster Master's version is better.

You might be fine. The game is a bit different on the battle system front but the tutorials are fine.

Edit: I forgot there's a demo on the eShop, try that first and see if it's for you.

I GOT CRABBY ABOUT PHONE GAMING
I just want to remind people that the 33% off sale for Graceful Explosion Machine is over at 8:59 PST on August 15th. (tomorrow)


How many of you have pulled the trigger on some of these 33% off sales? It's just enough that if I have just a passing interest I consider it. I'm not too hot on I am Setsuna due to reviews, but Grateful Explosion Machine and Tumbleseed have my interest. Should I just get them both? Tumbleseed's sale dies on the 17th.


Is this Troll game supposed to be an absolute poo poo show? It looks like it might be the worst actual title on the eStore when it drops.


edit: That Sonic review is hilarious. Are all of his like that? I just got a boner for a game I already had a boner for. It's boners all the way down, folks.

Bluetooth doesn't work with headphones right now out of the box. You can use adapters though I think. You can plug into the headphone jack directly though. I don't know about USB, unfortunately.

I have bought and enjoyed both Tumbleseed and Explosion Machine during their sales, though I haven't got very far in either of them due to Splatoon. Tumbleseed is indeed tough as nails though. I have reached the 3rd area of new 'easy' campaign and pitfalls have started forming directly below the seed :henget:

Hmm. Headset I have with a normal jack is just removing the USB part from my turtlebeach headphones, which makes the cord too short to use docked. Realized though I can just get an extension for the jack though real cheap.


How scratch prone is the screen btw and is the dock scratching it an actual issue? Mine should be here tomorrow but I'm considering waiting until my screen protector arrives Wednesday to start playing it.
