Wish Shovel Knight was like $20 instead of $32.50AUD on the Aus eShop.

Be a bit more enticing to buy it again.

Could the Switch being region-free affect this?

Just to throw my two cents in the pan about the availability. I went to six different stores (Walmart, Target, Gamestop, etc.) and they were all sold out. I didn't ask how many they got in the first place though.

Oh well that's a horse of a different colour.

I'm liking how dev friendly the Switch is. Can easily joycons to your PC, devkits only cost a couple hundred, lot of people interested in porting their games.

Hopefully the indie swell will bring back some big name devs as well. I don't mind the Switch being just a Nintendo + Indie game machine, but it'd be nice to have some big name brands on here as well. :allears:

I agree, but the one thing I'm hoping/worried about is getting handheld quality games on the Switch. Big console games are great, but I really love the tighter if less ambitious focus of games like Bravely Default, SMTIV, and Phoenix Wright.

So how does gyro aiming work in Zelda if your playing with split joy-cons. Is it just controlled with the right joy-con?

Hey so uh Radiant Historia may be coming back? Given that the game was originally on DS I would guess that if it's a remake/new thing it'd be for 3DS or Switch? Or maybe it's just another bait and switch mobile thing I dunno.

Radiant Historia is good. I want more Radiant Historia.

The thing that makes it look fishy besides the date is why a HD version of Paper Mario 2, a great game that a little odd they would this over just being lazy and doing it for the also mentioned Gamecube VC in the same post. Thousand Year Old Door is the type of game they wouldn't bother to update in favor of something you figured they would do a HD version in that era, like Mario Sunshine.

It's totally fake, but I could see doing a HD remake of TTYD using the color splash engine.

I am loving stoked to get back into MK8 with 200cc out of the box. It really turns silly racing game into a :holymoley: I have to actually race now while dodging silly crap :D

Seriously 200cc MK is insane in the best way.

I'm kinda on the fence on rebuying MK8, but getting the chance to school small children on 200c day one is very appealing.

Here's my hot take for the Switch thread: Puyo Puyo Tetris is unplayable garbage... on the joycons.

I love Tetris, but the joystick and an L button the size of a grain of rice threw me so far off I had to give up after a couple rounds.

Give me a way to use an N64 D-pad, then we'll talk.

Why are are you using the joystick? L button, why are you pressing the L button? What does it even do???

It's okay, Sonic's a very busy hedgehog. Although I do kinda like how far away the camera is. Being able to see more makes it a bit easier to keep going fast, maybe.

Edit: I'm curious if anybody here is actually better at or prefers the puyo side of the equation.

I saw Target's obnoxious Mario Kart display at the front of their store and checked to see if they had any consoles. Lucky me, there were two left, so I'm now the proud owner of a Switch and Zelda. This was probably a terrible decision right before finals week.


Oh, it's fine just open it play for like half an hour. I'm sure a quick break is what you really need from all that studying. What's the worst that could happen, eh?

Probably going to get buried in Kart chat, but: Kamiko's dece for a $5 game. Cute, got some puzzle bits, whoever said "Hyper Light Zelda" was pretty accurate with the former's aesthetic and the latter's 2D top-down control/combat setup. Short, but not bad.

I gotta remember to pick that up when I get the chance. It seemed simple but the movement looked nice and the combo system was neat.

I may have made the worst possible mistake I could have trying to keep the in-store preorder. Like I would've gotten a better turnaround had I just ordered from their website, which I thought is what I would get if I converted but it seems like it's treated as an in-store pickup.

So I guess I'm gonna be late to the online gold mario party by at least ~10 hours, in the worst case.

It's okay. In the end, you still get to play Mario Kart. Probably...
