Breath of the Wild has arrived!  ...Man, Switch game cases are much smaller than I expect them to be.

That's a September bundle, and Walmart exclusive, so it's probably aimed at families.

Take some fish oil or some poo poo, guys. It’s not a physical issue, but more like I only play a handful of games a year so my reflexes/hand-eye coordination aren’t as sharp as when I was a kid and had all the time in the world. Adult responsibilities take up like 90% of my life now, the remaining time is spent with my significant other, so gaming has to really fight for my attention. I don’t have as much time to devote to “getting good” at a game as I used to.

I am still terribly upset Fantasy Life 2 was a mobile game. Release Fantasy Life 3 on the Switch you cowards.

Aces is a great game, especially since they’ve balanced the op characters and mechanics.

Yeah, what's the problem with that bundle? It's $60 more than just the console, and you get 2 games with it. One really good and one "decent for parties or families" thing.

Jim Silly-Balls posted:Remember a while back when someone asked about big games coming out? What the gently caress is the deal with Wargroove? I remember when I got a Switch like 18 months ago and complaining about the death of Advance Wars people were like "just get Wargroove!" and I cheked and it wasn't out yet, and now it's till not out, not even a release date. What is going on? Why were you people so excited for this game over a year before the release date is still not announced? Is this like Star Citizen? It's not even some big cinematic guaranteed to be amazing grand masterpiece like Death Stranding, it's a GBA style tactics game? How has it taken this long, why did you people even know about it back then? Are all of your cousins making it?

OK but why were you gys excited about it two years before the release date still wasn't announced? Isn't a small team working on a game that will solve all your problems a "let's wait and see if it actually gets released at all" kind of situation?

I much prefer Simple mode, but this is SO much better than the last couple Tennis games I borrowed Mario Tennis for about a week. I found the difficulty either stupid easy against the computer to where it wasn't fun, or too hard to the point where I couldn't win matches. I know I need to just "get good", but I felt like on the harder difficulty the computer just didn't make mistakes like you do. No misjudging the spacing for the trick shots, always hitting the charged up shots when they get the chance. It was good for a week, glad I didn't buy it.

quote:Starting May 15, 2018, it will be possible to create a Nintendo Account Family Group via your Nintendo Account settings. Up to eight Nintendo Accounts (including child accounts) can be linked as a family group. EIGHT?!? What are the disadvantages of making a Family Group? Any? Not to be a cheap rear end, but it seems like a no brainer thing to just put 8 people in a family group and pay $4.37/year for the service. Looking at the FAQ https://en-americas-support.nintend...SUyMSUyMQ%3D%3D It seems like you can just add people as general members, they can leave the group at any time and not mess with the status of other members. My Nintendo coins are not shared between accounts as a family. Seriously, what am I missing? Edit: You also can't be part of two family groups, purchase history is not shared, and eShop funds are not shared... Astro7x fucked around with this message at 18:34 on Aug 15, 2018 |

So uhh a guy on reddit found this article about Diablo 3 for Switch on Forbes and screenshotted it. It's apparently since been deleted. https://www.reddit.com/r/NintendoSwitch/comments/97kdhy/diablo_3_switch_article_found_on_forbes/ https://imgur.com/gallery/ZFXgN8S Looks like a bot removed the reddit post, but I confirmed that if you go to the Apple News app and search 'Diablo III' the mentioned article comes up.
