We may have finally found unobtainium but I will never find eywa.

Mighty Bomb Jack is actually a lot better than it gets credit for! I remember it used to be an easy mark for AVGN youtube wannabes, but none of them seemed to play the game long enough to figure out you can cancel Jack's super high jump by pressing the A button a second time, and then enter a drift mode by mashing it. Gives you a really good level of air control you didn't really see in many NES games.

That's a lot more Super than I thought, especially having 5 new levels. I'll probably pick it up, then.

I enjoy the mechanics, indie platformers have since done it better but it's fun for when it came from.

Yeah after losing my first two lives and then getting a "YOU ARE GREEDY! GO TO THE TORTURE ROOM!" I figured that out and made it through that room and the next three levels.

As a collectors switch with special dock, joycon, and box you are kind of getting the experience and artifacts of a physical version anyway

HENDO! HENDO!
I used to like the concept of homebrew and roms many years ago because I liked tinkering and might replay super turbo, super mario world, or sonic 2 once every blue moon. Upon opening the nesflix app I liked seeing all the pretty box art pics, but every time I loaded into an old game my brain groaned at me after a few seconds about how bored it was. So now I don’t think I really care about proper VC or some morons getting bricked. Think Im going to go play dark souls and Diablo for the 3rd time.

Dallas Mavericks: Generations
Was about to pre-order Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu until I read the online doesn't have GTS or randomly battling with other players. I can understand no GTS since it's only the original 151 but no random battling killed most of my desire to get it.

Does anyone know if it has a decent post game?

Gripweed posted:

That looks really cool, although it's a shame the size of the areas is limited to the size of the areas in the old Game Boy games.

I'm not saying Pokemon needs to be Breath of the Wild, but something like Xenoblade Chronicles 2, where every town has a big open area just outside it, would be pretty fantastic.

Hopefully next year's mainline Pokemon Switch game does have bigger areas.

It also has no Pokemon abilities or held items, so not like you'd even want to battle online. :v:

It sounds like these "bricked" Switches can be fixed by restoring from a backup, so it's just a bunch of people downloading and running mystery files with full permissions and zero backups.

Probably, but by virtue of the fact Switch games don't save to the cartridge

I can't speak on the DLCs as I haven't done the content from them. It's harder than the base game though from what I understand.

Undertale is amazing although the fights all involve bullet hell style dodging and some fights can be more intense than others.

Also play: NIGHT IN THE WOODS, GAME OF THE YEAR 2017

Actually yeah Night in the Woods is awesome. But is it mandatory to well on the music bits because that may pose a problem?

Also don't forget Into the Breach. I like it's turned based strategizing much much more than Darkest Dungeon, and it can be just as unforgiving depending on the difficulty you play it at.

Anyone else tried playing Wasteland 2? I kind of burned out on Valkyria Profile 4 at about the Winter Witch level (oh great another mechanic to deal with) and so grabbed it but man is it hard to tell what's going on in handheld mode. I don't really have much opportunity to use TV mode these days, but I'm hoping it's a vastly improved visual experience.

Wasteland 2 looks absolutely dreadful in handheld (and docked for that matter). Don't get it.

Jack is a weird game that handles fairly strangely by modern conventions, but it gets its hooks into some people super-hard.

Like 95% of people hacking their console probably don't have a good enough grasp on what they are doing and what can go wrong and a good chunk of the remaining 5% are giving them terrible advice.

The promise of free stuff breaks peoples brains.
