For those of you who want to play Voez on your TV or with buttons: Voez is getting a physical release early next year that includes the option to play docked and also to use a controller. No word yet as to whether or not they'll also include it as a free update to current digital owners but I can only assume they will?

It'll be interesting to see how the controller works in the game

I'm so happy that it's coming to the Switch of all things. However, there's no way I'm going to buy it again. Especially since the MP was pretty bad.

I can't imagine it working well, I guess you have to use the thumbsticks to move some of the notes left and right? Sounds like a nightmare

Every time a Steam World game gets announced I see a lot of dudes talk about how much they love it and they can't wait for more so I went ahead and grabbed 2 just to check it out myself. I mean I spent my entire afternoon playing it and it's 2:00AM right now but I don't see what the big deal is??? It just ate up my day???

Though seriously I have no idea what the story of the game I just played was and despite the credits rolling and nothing really being said when I start the game back up it feels like I'm missing something. The game is just Bizarre

I used Pac Man to get the Mii costume in Mario Kart and the helmet has animated Pac Man chomping down while racing. It's definitely my favorite outfit so far. Are there any other animated Mii outfits?

If you're only buying Amiibos so that you can use their functionality, then just buy an action replay amiibo (with power tag) from GameStop and emulate them all.

Crossovers are not the same as general merchandise, because your property is in someone else's control, even under license, to create something that'll be seen in the same light as your own games. Some companies really don't like that.

Bought Xenoverse 2 + DLC, Pokken & Steamworld Dig 2 a few minutes ago on the eShop. The switch library is amazing.

Zelda is GOTY for sure, and getting your rear end kicked a bunch in the beginning is completely normal. The only penalty for dying is a small loading screen. Get inventive with how you approach problems in the game, nearly everything is a valid solution.

There's no shame but I think its helpful to talk people out of the Switch version if they can get it on PC or PS4. Is portability worth the big hits to performance and cost? For example, no one talked me out of NBA2K18 because early footage looked decent. Turns out the performance is actually really mediocre and it totally wasn't worth. So gently caress ya'll for not saving me money!

As someone that has played NBA 2k every year since 2k9, the Switch version owns.

It is and it's surprisingly fun as a nostalgia trip. It's a little grindy but that's only if you're really into playing dress-up with your custom z-man, which if you are - you probably won't mind about the grinding.

Nintendo, who introduced us to the voice app for their online, has beaten Sony to TFA security and changeable nicknames :lol:

Also RE: Revelations 2 will be the first game outside of 1-2 Switch to make use of the IR camera


Simple but effective and will work much like the reload did in best version RE4 Wii. Much like putting a clip you just move the camera closer to your hand

If I recall it took Nintendo some time to get pokemon into Mario Maker and even then they weren't allowed to use their cries until a couple months into the games life. TPC is weird.
