I've been put in quarantine (in my own apartment thankfully) for twelve days. Day 3 and I'm already bored out of my mind. What are some immersive games I can play until Animal Crossing comes out?

What are some immersive games I can play until Animal Crossing comes out? Why not 14 days?  I can highly recommend Hollow Knight if you're in the mood for a fairly hard Metroidvania.

Otherwise buy Dragon Quest XI or one of the old Final Fantasies.

100YrsofAttitude posted:Monster Hunter is 50% off in Europe. Monster Hunter is in a big transitional phase right now. Monster Hunter: World sold gangbusters, and the reception was very positive. It got a rare PC port, which (even more rarely) surpassed the quality of the console versions. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be any Switch port in the works, likely due to hardware limitations -- becoming a tired excuse considering ports like Witcher 3 and DOOM, but I suppose it's a subjective one per developer. I would be very surprised to see any more Monster Hunter on the Switch. That said, the Monster Hunter that IS on the Switch is a very good one, despite being a 3DS port. It's a very decent 3DS port. I spent a lot of time playing the 3DS games, and was generally impressed/happy with the Switch port. It's charmingly janky, as Monster Hunter always was before World came out. If you haven't played World, this probably won't bother you too much!

Gripweed posted:That game is pretty great. And so much content. So many monsters to hunt Yeah, it looks good. The combat seems deliberate and skill based like in Dark Souls, which I loved, but I'm not sure if the grind is going to appeal to me. The loop of "kill monster, get better loot, to kill better monster" etc only works until I realize what I'm doing and that never lasts more than a couple of weeks to a month tops.

I’ve preordered the special edition animal crossing switch console from EB Games here in Australia. Unfortunately it doesn’t list a release date on my order. Anyone know when it’s getting released, in Australia particularly? I assume it’s delayed because of coronavirus?

They'd have to fundamentally fix it from the ground up before they could even consider trying to get World to be 720p30 on the Switch, and they'd rather release Devil May Cry 2 for $20.

The cool thing about MonHun is the fights are actually fun* which makes the grind pretty darn enjoyable *except for nibelsnarf, plesioth, kirin, yian garuga, the dick monster whose name i forget...

Wait, hold on. I'm looking into system transfers for the first time as my Animal Crossing LE arrives today. You're telling me I have to re-download every game and can't just use the SD card to transfer game files?

Do you like Vampire Bloodlines? Too bad, you're never getting that on Switch. On the other hand Coteries of New York is launching on the 24th. While I'm anything but a fan of visual novels this is by far the best one I've tried. The writing is great and it hits all the beats of the setting just like Bloodlines. You get to pick between a Brujah, Toreador and Ventrue. As the story progresses you also get to pick kindred from other clans for your coterie. Unlike a lot of VNs your choices actually do affect the story quite a bit. The only negatives I will mention is that it's too short, but they've extended the amount of nights you get in this updated version. Sadly I also felt the ending was a bit lacking. Still, well worth picking up if you dig the setting and the Switch is the perfect platform for it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSVo9srHP4E

Tempura Wizard posted:You're telling me I have to re-download every game and can't just use the SD card to transfer game files? They did it this way because system transfers from a hacked 3DS could be used to hack other 3DSes, and not having a shared encryption key across system transfers disrupts that.

Someone talk me out of buying the NES controllers while they're on sale for 50% off. I seldom play the NES games on the Switch and I already have the SNES controller for that good hand feel. I just have a brain disease that makes me want EVERY PERIPHERAL DAMMIT

It's fine, but I'd rather use an SD card to transfer it instantly like on the 3DS than redownload *checks notes* 250+ GB worth of games. It's very much a first-world problem.

I'm getting the AC edition Switch today, and I was thinking about giving my current one to my boyfriend's kids, making us a two-Switch household. The old Switch will be docked to the TV in their room and will not be allowed to leave the house (for example they can't take it to their mom's house). The new Switch will be docked in the living room, but I will be taking it with me on trips occasionally. Someone please tell me if I have things straight: If I want them to be able to play on the old Switch under their own profile (so they can have their own saves), the only way to do that is to keep the old Switch as the primary console, correct? Then the new Switch becomes secondary, and can only have one user profile tied to it (mine). Primary Switch: multiple profiles, my account is still the "owner" so to speak Secondary Switch: only one profile - copy of mine. Also needs to connect to the internet every so often to be able to play digital games. Next question: I will be purchasing Animal Crossing digitally, I know it does not support cloud saves and is also limited to "one console, one island." With two consoles, two profiles and one digital game, will we still be locked in to one island, or can they create their own now? Or is one of the profiles just totally SOL?
