Question for people who've beaten BotW:

Can you keep playing after beating Ganon? I really enjoy wandering around and exploring, but I also feel like it's about time I wrapped up the story.

Beating Ganon saves the game just outside the boss fight before it happens, there is no "gannon is defeated" post exploration, though you do get like a percentage of completion and a couple other baubles when you do.

Yes but it'll just load the autosave it makes right before you enter ganon's room. You get a star on your savefile though

I'm probably gonna give Rabbids a skip (looks good though), but that means I'm probably not buying any other games for Switch until October. I wish FE Warriors was September, late October is gonna be rubbin' up against Mario

edit: I'll probably play FE Warriors more in the long run if it's got half the content Hyrule Warriors did.

My plan is to beat Splatoon 2 this weekend, trade it in for Rabbids, beat that by the end of September and trade that in towards an SNES mini (I have a preorder already).

I like Splatoon but I don't have the time to invest in leveling up in an online shooter to get to more content.

I mean, you do you and if you don't feel Splatoon is worth it to you then that's fine, but I feel like, from this comment, you are missing the point.




You can play short, intense, fun as hell multiplayer games in ranked and Salmon Run as much as you want without worrying about unlocking anything. This is the real meat of the game and everything else is just gravy. It's one of the best "I don't have much time" games there is in my opinion.

I also absolutely love that I can pick up my controller and be in a match in less than a minute, play a couple, put the console back to sleep. You don't need to invest tons of time for it to be a great game.

You can hit S++ in Splatoon 2 with the Splattershot Jr and Basic Tee. If you don't want to invest time in the game, XP tickets make getting to 30 not take long at all. The game is worth keeping for Salmon Run alone, imo. Would very much give it another chance as Splatoon is a very casual friendly game.

Yeah, while it's fun to pop into ranked to go through the alternate game modes it's actually more fun to play Salmon Run and Turf Wars because there's no real stakes at play.

I don't have time to reach ranked! And salmon run is never on when I'm on. After a month I'm level 5 and each level seems to take twice as long as the last

Does downloading something while playing another game sometimes cause the snapshot and home button functions to just... stop working? I'm downloading the test punch right now and decided to play Mania in the meantime and I couldn't go back to the home screen to check the status of the download. Those two buttons just... weren't doing anything. Putting the joycons into the system itself didn't work either, and I had to get it to reset somehow (the power button wasn't doing anything either but eventually I did get it to reset). Is this a thing anyone else has run into?

I mean people in the main thread stopped playing when they hit S rank in whatever so I assume that's "beating the game" for some people, confuses the heck out of me too since I thought it was just for matchmaking purposes not "I HAVE to fill the bar". (If they stopped having fun that's a good reason)

Do people in other comp games go "Welp I hit 3000 Elo, time to stop playing forever" and is it just a weird psychological thing from showing a bar that fills up (assuming they're still enjoying the game up to that point)

People are really brain broken and will play games they don't actually enjoy so they can get arbitrary points or rewards they have no intention of using, and will stop playing games they do enjoy once they exhaust the arbitrary points or reward system.

I want them to bring back side-quests from DL3 if this is gonna be a callback to that series.

Lemme see Samus even though she should be way taller than Kirby considering he's only supposed to be like eight inches tall.

Mario + Rabbids not having online is bizarre to me. It'd be the perfect game for it. I went from a def buy to a no once I found that out. Did XCOM not have online? Just seems like a much more boring game without the ability to go online.

That music is kinda... eh. Still better than the city music in XCX so far.

The anime titty sword persona aside, the game looks promising. Combat system should be better than XCX (not a high bar to clear).

Is the DLC going to give you a "see completion % that excludes goddamn seeds" or no? Because I'd love to see how my non-seed completion is since those seeds tanked it completely.

It's not just seeds, every named area on the map counts towards % as well. Someone in the BotW thread said they were going to grind out all the seeds against all advice to the contrary, got to 94% or so at 900 seeds, and afaik hasn't posted in that thread since.
