I've got my son a Switch and the new Mario game for xmas, which is also his birthday - he will be 8 and loves all things Nintendo / fun times in general. I am going to get Mario Kart and the Rabbids thingy, I think Zelda won't be for him so am I missing anything else that is essential? Christmas is depending on you goons.

I just bought Rocket League even though I have it on ps4 and don’t think I’ll play it much anymore. They deserve the money. Are there any diablo-like games coming for switch? I suddenly have an itch to play Diablo but zero will to sit down in front of the computer for it.

Mario XCom might be over an eight year olds head unless that's mainly for you. You know what my wife got that's actually really fun? Just Dance

Or even the Borderlands Handsome Collection. I know most goons think the game is painfully unfunny, and that's fine, I can't disagree, but I do enjoy the Diablo with Guns format.

Metal Geir Skogul posted:My ex-girlfriend (EX, holy poo poo) that I still live with because lease was like "oh, is that the new Nintendo thing? I'd play some old Mario if you have that. Does it have the old Mario?" And, having just bought the thing, I was like "yeah, of course." BOOM, nothing on the e-shop. What a lovely e-shop, the 3DS has better. She was willing to overlook how awkward being in the same room together is for some goddamned "old Mario." Did you even *try* to play Snipperclips with your ex?

If the kids fine not getting perfects and just playing the game Mario + Rabbids is fine. The game encourages all out offensives for the most part and all you risk doing that is some regular damage. The puzzle bits are easy when they're necessary. Otherwise I've been spending time playing Skyrim and just dungeon-diving non-stop. It's super repetitive and yet novel and charming at the same time. There's SO much to do.

I made an Orc character in Skyrim and named him Ganon. Then I remembered the BotW link outfit and Iolled.Metal Geir Skogul posted:First ex was OCD that needed time have dishes soaked for 10 minutes minimum before cleaning, and books had to be wiped before putting back on the shelf. However, that didn't matter as after we moved, turns out she was a hoarder (very well hidden until uprooting) and I spent 7 of 9 years together (left for 2 years in the middle for Army Basic/AIT) in Phoenix (from Idaho) living between stacks of packed boxes full of mail and American Girl doll collections. Along with the permanently-disassembled bookshelves. Came for switch news, stayed for this.

When I woke my Switch up last night, it froze immediately. After resetting it, whenever I try to launch a game, it freezes on the black "Nintendo Switch" loading screen. Does anyone know how I can fix this? It's persisted through a factory reset.

Spellman posted:Truthfully, Excite Truck/Bots isn't that remarkable without the motion controls. That was weird case for a racing game where they actually worked and made the game fun The switch has motion controls, so a sequel/port isn't completely out of the question, but the real obstacle is that Excite Bots sold like utter trash unfortunately.

I guess it may or may not be funny, I honestly couldn't tell you. I just like the power grind in diablo-likes and making builds and so on. I couldn't even sort of describe the story in path of exile, d3 or borderlands past "uh, there was an apocalypse, I guess"

Sorry if I missed a bunch of posts, but how is Skryim in handheld mode? Is the UI readable and distant enemies easy enough to target with magic and arrows? Also, is the game any more or less buggy than an unmodded PC Special Edition?

I bought the wired Hori controller so I didn't have to keep taking the joycons off the Switch whenever I'm moving from toilet/bed to TV. It's pretty good though after spending several months with the joycon buttons the buttons on it feel gigantic.

What exactly is the "Nintendo Switch Wired Controller" I'm seeing in stores now? It has the layout of a Pro Controller and is packaged like it's an official Nintendo product yet looks pretty dodgy.

For the guy that asked the wired controllers are like pro controllers but with no motion controls or rumble. They are made by hori, licenced by Nintendo I think

I'm really shocked by Switch Skyrim. I haven't played the game in years but I'm totally into it again. Also it being on a console keeps me from going OCD and modding it more than actually playing it. Also the knowledge that I wont have to stop playing on Tuesday when we travel to the inlaws, I can just take it with me. Klisejo fucked around with this message at 18:18 on Nov 18, 2017 |

Ventana posted:Doing side quests is basically going to be relative to how much you've done before which point, and which quests you did cause a bunch of them don't involve fighting anything and aren't useful for levels. I think for me, right before getting to Mechonis I did a lot of the sidequests then, then bee-lined up to Agniratha, did more quests, continued plot up til the final dungeon, and then finished the rest of the quests. Aside from Valak Mountain, I never had any issues with leveling or bosses when playing like that. On 3ds the ui is extremely bad

I wonder how soon we'll get a new Pokémon Dungeon or Shiren the Wanderer game. The Switch could use one of those. Regarding stuff like diablo and destiny, I thought this article about "maintenance games" by Austin from Waypoint was something I could relate to. Sometimes it's nice to take your brain out of your skull, put it in it's little brain-sized bed, and mindlessly grind out some game while watching videos or listening to a podcast. BotW exploration has been fitting the bill for me since I never played it earlier. If my brain has melted from work, I'll just wander around filling in more of the map with tracks. BoI is sort of good for this, too. Bravely Default and DQ Games fit the bill in the past and their successors probably will, too. I could really go for an ARPG in the vein of Diablo or Destiny. And FFXIV would be sweet. fozzy fosbourne fucked around with this message at 18:39 on Nov 18, 2017 |

Real hurthling! posted:On 3ds the ui is extremely bad Yeah it's what I figured. Sorta like XCX on Wii U where playing on the gamepad is pretty annoying given how the tiny text normally is. In general I wouldn't really recommend anyone play the 3DS version unless somehow you absolutely never could play it on Wii/WiiU/dolphin.

Loads of people I know who are playing odyssey kind of feel like they’re done around 600 moons. I think that’s the point where you stop finding moons by just running around and finding new places and when you have to do the “walk over to this totally innocent looking area and jump up to this one little square with no warning and ground pound and you’ll get a moon, have fun figuring out the other 4 moons you’re missing here”

Yeah I just got to the darker side and I'm not really sure grinding out all the costumes and final moons is really worth my time when my backlog is so huge and game time so limited Still, I'll probably get a few more hours out of it before I call it quits for good.
