For fucks sake, people! A couple of pages back a bunch of you were complaining about how the Joycons were too small.
Just saw the Grip that comes with the console in two. There's nothing in there and it's built sturdy enough to take it.
I started out with a Dremel but the blade wasn't big enough so I finished it off with a carpenter saw. The duct tape is just there because. It works a treat.

Yeah. I liked what I played. I was hoping it would drop to $20 as fast as Triforce Heroes so I could buy my friends copies but it never happened.

I was looking at Triforce Heroes for our next game, but apparently you can't play 2 players. You can play 1 player, or 3 players, but not 2. WTF

I've actually been pretty curious about MPFF. I'm not really into MP; is FF worth it in spite of that?

I would not want to play the game alone. The controls and play are just like Metroid Prime. However, you are in mechs, so you kind of stomp along slowly. You still lock on like in Prime. We played with our circle pad pros (nice to have a game that actually uses it); I'm not interested in trying the game without one and losing right stick analog look.

Through the game, you find mod chips that allow you to customize your mech, which was fun (I constantly used +missle damage and +power shot damage). The alternate weapons are pretty useful. At one point we were stuck on a boss and were cursing up a storm until we tried a different weapon, after which we grudgingly admitted the game gives you what you need to succeed.

The missions are fairly varied. In some cases it's not apparent what to do, and you eat poo poo for a while, but nothing was insurmountable. There was a stage we failed a couple times and I was getting irate and called it the worst mission of the game...a few attempts later, and once we discovered how to approach it, the stage became one of my favorites. That was a real sense of satisfaction to figure out what to do and pull it off.

My buddy and I had a ton of fun, but going it alone would've been a real slog. If you care about getting all the medals, there will be several stages where you replay over and over and OVER until you get it. Getting enough medals unlocks more slots for your mods, but you unlock all of those at 19/55 medals, so pretty early. After that medals only unlock more paint jobs which are cosmetic...EXCEPT for amiibo paint jobs, so if you have metroid amiibos, you should be able to get something. I used a samus amiibo and got a paint job that gave me 10x the missles per pickup, that came in handy let me tell you.

I don't know if this has told you enough about the game, but again, my friend and I had a lot of fun with it. Just avoid blast ball, it's pretty lame.

Is Puyo Puyo Tetris worth it past the demo's functionality? Namely, does anybody know if the full version has colorblind-friendly skins?

I thought the campaign mode was pretty good and encouraged me to learn how to actually play Puyo Puyo

I think you have to unlock the colorblind skins but that takes like 10 minutes of playing

Triforce Heroes is an odd duck. Getting three players together is weird and inconvenient. But if you can get three people together, it's loads of fun. The puzzles are designed with three people, so playing with two people wouldn't work. The one player mode was added in because I think they were too scared of releasing a truly multiplayer only Zelda game.
But the game is good. Just hard to get the people to play with.

But seriously, how does this game work? Is it really just randomly flailing about? I couldn't find any on-screen cues that indicate a rhythm.

Also, these are some sweet sales! Just picked up mario+rabbids voor 33 euro and rayman legends for 23 euro. Thanks Russia! (That's where those two are cheapest).

Repeat after Sony; "This system software update improves the quality of the system performance."

Developers never state attack vectors being closed in patch notes, because it just tells people exactly how to exploit them.

This a million times. Software (and hardware) developers do not give out details about this stuff unless they are forced to do so, either by legal compulsion or because the particular thing is something the public needs to know about in general.

This Switch hack is all but guaranteed to meet neither of those requirements.

Doorknob Slobber posted:

this just encourages you to pirate even more, since the only way to get new digital games would be to pirate them.

Except you need a new console because Nintendo bricking your hacked system means it doesn't work anymore.


Actual Harvest Moon? Yes.

The poo poo that Natsume makes under the Harvest Moon name these days? No.

Regardless, Stardew Valley already exists on the Switch.

With CEMU's development, Zelda actually runs better and at 4K on PC if you've got the monolithic system requirements needed to run it at those settings. :eng101:

Is it possible to (easily) transfer saves from a Wii U to PC? Kinda tempted to check out Xenoblade X on an emulator but there's no loving way I'm starting the game over from the beginning if I can help it.

Mercenaries Saga Chronicles - $13.49 / £12.23 / €13.49 (Feb 9)
Digital - [NA] [EU]
Featuring Mercenaries Saga: Will of the White Lions, Mercenaries Saga 2: Order of the Silver Eagle and Mercenaries Saga 3: Gray Wolves of War, Mercenaries Saga Chronicles assembles the heroes from this fantastic series in one collection

Features:
  • A total of 82 campaign chapters, in which your decisions lead to different routes and endings
  • Numerous Free Battles allow you to power-up characters while offering extra challenges
  • Multiple difficulty settings are available – clearing the game once increases the challenge further!
  • Maps with variable terrains that are decisive in battle – take advantage of your starting position to assist teammates and strike enemies in the back
  • Buy and sell items, and then synthesize them into more powerful gear
  • Change classes to acquire high class skills, and use SP to master them
  • Enhanced gameplay experience on the Nintendo Switch: redesigned to perfectly fit a 16:9 resolution. The system improvements from Mercenaries Saga 3, such as Hate display and minion summoning skills, are also implemented for Mercenaries Saga 1 & 2 in this new Chronicles release.


Monster Hunter has eaten all my free time and I almost forgot about this game coming out already. Sounds like the games are decent fun but nothing earth shattering, so $13.50 for 3 SRPGs seems fine by me.
