KingSlime posted:People are getting the end pretty quickly, which isn't a huge deal given the total content but it makes me wonder: is it disappointing to have seen all the variety of environments roughly 25 percent into the total experience? If the content inside those environments is good and deep enough, then no it shouldn't really matter

How well has Odyssey done so far? Did it outsell Knack II?

My brother called Shovel Knight the "Mario of indie games" and it felt appropriate. That game is the gold standard for retro platformers.

Completed SMO last night (well the main story). It's a joy, so much fun, the movement of Mario is just wonderful! I tried playing it handheld and it just isn't as fun, you need separate joycons (the circle cap throw is critical and spinning and pressing Y just doesn't cut it). It's weird how they really really REALLY want you to shake that controller. On the pro controller it's a 50 50 chance I'll do a cap circle or throw it in the air. Mapping X to cap circle would have been ideal. A minor gripe for an incredible game.

Argue posted:Sales and PR wise, I think Nintendo's first party games have rarely been blockbusters on the level of the AAA titles from devs on other consoles (for example, the new Assassin's Creed seems to have outsold Odyssey in the UK) but what they have--especially the Mario titles--is some pretty unbelievable staying power. I think you may be wrong on this: http://vgsales.wikia.com/wiki/Best_selling_games_worldwide You can excuse many of those games for being bundled with the console I suppose but Nintendo still has a very strong showing in terms of best selling games of all time. Assasin's Creed has no representation at all so it's hardly the blockbuster.

I'm going on a trip this weekend - is there a "best" carrying case for the Switch? Also the New 3DS XL too cause I'll probably bring that.

Nintendo has been around for decades so yes, they have some big sellers but they absolutely do not make games that regularly compete with GTA/CoD/etc's numbers. e: That multi platform list has minecraft at only 43 million units sold.

I had read that Odyssey tries to force you into using the motion control setup, and that handheld mode isn't really playable. I have only played in handheld mode and those reports of bad control schemes are not even remotely true. I've had zero issues.

I've had zero issues. the only thing that ive noticed is that certain situations the cap circle throw would be nice to have easier, since shaking the whole system makes it hard to track the screen, but its a incredibly minor gripe, handheld mode is cool and good

There's at least 1 moon I'm sure is impossible without motion controls and other than that I've never really used them. East Tower or whatever it's called in Sand Kingdom where you need to sprint a bullet bill across a huge space before it blows.

Is anyone else having trouble with motion aiming in Odyssey? It works fine for me in other games but in Odyssey the camera just kind of spazzes out and goes in random directions as I tilt the controller.

Don’t be surprised if that Switch line gets awfully close to the Wii line in the next 8 weeks or so. The Wii (and Wii U) launched around the holidays and got that holiday sales bump pretty much immediately. The Switch is going to get that bump like 9 months into its lifespan so I’ll be interested to see how steeply that line increases.

On handheld mode it only expects the right JoyCon for camera functions which is unfortunate. It should be been like BOTW.

I’m not a typically obsessive or compulsive person, but I have always been a bit of a completionist when it comes to video games unless it has poor design or requires pointless grinding. SMO has wonderful design and no grinding, but I don’t think I will be completing this game anytime soon. There is just so much. You can easily get hundreds of moons because so many are out in plain sight, but in almost every level there are at least a dozen (or some multiple of that) hidden challenges.

I didn’t even max out my gear slots or find all of the shrines because so many of them were just lame combat trials. I anticipate that I will eventually 100% SMO, but now that I am into the post-game I anticipate taking it a bit slower.

Just a heads up you could probably learn to play guitar or get really good at cooking in the time it would take to collect all of those and the loot is better than a digital turd making fun of you.

If you reenter one of those self-contained platforming challenge areas, Cappy will tell you whether or not there are any moons left there, and after that, if there are purple coins to be found there, he'll say so. So you can at least narrow things down that way.
