Zelda BOTW is incredible you guys. Just spent hours doing absolutely nothing and had an absolute blast. All the little things about this game are just going to blow your mind once you get your hands on it. The spirit of wonder and exploration is back. My god is it back  Will post a 1-2-Switch trip report as well later, as my Niece was over and we played through all 28 games. For now tho, I need sleeep

So my 10 year old Niece had a pupil free day today, and we played through all of 1-2-Switch this morning! Here's a breakdown of each game, and how well we enjoyed it. 1 Spice Factor Games - Telephone - Fun good little fake-out game. Put the joycon on the table, then wait for the specific ring tone and answer as fast as you can. Niece kicked my rear end at this. - Ball Counting - Absolutely amazing showcase of HD rumble. You can really 'feel' the balls inside the box. Pretty difficult as well to get right! - Zen - Game randomly chooses a pose. Hold that pose as still as possible, the more you move the quicker you lose. Pretty good, but not very exciting. - Treasure Chest - Remember Zen Bound for the iPhone? It's that but with a chest in the shape of the joycon. Rotate to untangle your chest from chains as quick as possible to win. Really fun use of the joycon. Loved it. - Milk - Yes it's the wanking game. It's very difficult to get the motion constant to squeeze out a lot of milk, def a bit of skill involved. It'll get plenty of laughs at a party with an older crowd that's for sure. 2 Spice Factor Games - Safe Cracker - Really fun game. Rotate the joycons like a safe dial until you feel a 'click' in the tumbler, then hold it in that position until it 'locks' in. Do that 3 times to open the safe. My Niece said she couldn't feel the micro-rumbles with her joycon, but we swapped around a couple of times. She's just bad at it  - Quick Draw - Read Set Fire. What else do you need to know? Quickest draw wins and we got very competitive with it. Loved it! - Samurai Training - One player swings a sword down. The other tries to 'catch' it by clapping their hands together. REALLY good game from the whole "Look at your opponents eyes" angle. Highly encouraged to try and fake out the clapper. Hell of a lot of fun. - Sneaky Dice - Shake your cup and flip it down on the table. You'll feel, via rumble, how many dice your opponent has rolled and vice versa. Highest roll wins and you can reshake your dice to get a different number. It's a psychological battle where you try and get your opponent to reroll if they've rolled high. Can def see the potential there, but my Niece is 10 and has absolutely 0 poker face so I won every time - Signal Flags - You're posing like a sailor with a signal flag. Up, down, left, right. Point the flag in the direction the female sailor tells you. Point in the OPPOSITE direction to what the male sailor tells you. Have to be paying attention! Could be a lot of fun when half-pissed. - Soda Pop - Wanking Game 2 Wank Harder. Using a single joycon you 'Shake up' a bottle and try and have it pop on your opponents turn. Yeaaaaah this'll get some laughs at a party. 3 Spice Factor Games - Shaver - Hold the joycon to your chin, then try and shave off your virtual beard as quick as possible. Really good use of the joycon rumble and you can feel where you haven't been before. My Niece reckons she could kick my arse, but I've been shaving for over a decade and a half darlin - Joycon Rotation - Pick up your joycon and rotate it around as far as you can and drop it back down. You get 3 turns to rotate as far as you can. If you go 'off-centre' or your joycon leans to a side you lose a turn. It's all about keeping the joycon completely vertical and still. Do you go for a big rotation, or do you go for just enough. Pretty good, but I can see it get boring quickly. - Table Tennis - Virtually hit the ball back and forth. You can lob it up in the air with a different button. Fun, but my Niece was having a hard time imagining the table we were playing on. - Baby - Just terrible. Couldn't get it to work at all. You put both joycons in the Switch and have it in your arms and try to 'rock' the baby to sleep. Neither of us could seem to get the correct motion to stop the baby screaming, and what even is the point of the loving game? You put the baby to sleep and then try to put the controller down as softly as possible on a flat surface. They can't all be winners. - Fake Draw - It's Quick Draw, but the announcer will say different F words before he says "FIRE!". Really nice variant when you want to mix things up a bit. - Baseball - Baby may be terrible, but Baseball is probably the worst game in the pack. Could not get it at all. One person pitches, the other person tries to bat. Pitcher can do a fastball or a change-up. Batter is meant to listen for the ball coming and swing to hit it. Could not get it happening at all, even when we took turns saying when we'd be throwing it so we could try to hit it. It's Wii Sports without a visual queue. Who the gently caress thought this would be a good idea?  4 Spice Factor Games Eating Contest - Take the right joycon (with the IR sensor) and hold it up to your mouth. Make a chewing motion with your mouth and eat as many sandwiches as possible. Can see the potential for competitiveness here, but boy oh boy does your jaw hurt after a bit. - Beach Flags - 'run' in place as quick as you can until you feel you've reached the flag, and then raise it high in the air. Pretty fun little game, but it'll take a lot of energy to beat your opponent. - Wizard Battle - Hard to explain. It's basically a Harry Potter wand battle. If you thrust your wand forward the energy moves towards your opponent more. So you're constantly pushing it back and forth. If you thrust just after your opponent, you counter them and it pushes back greatly onto them. You need to be able to see the Switch/TV to see how you're doing. Pretty fun, but it broke down into who could shake their arm more. Pretty tiring when it goes to a draw! - Sword Fight - You're swinging your swords around and trying to hit your opponent, you can push a button and guard. If you're not guarding in the right direction you'll get hit. Sounds great in theory, but it's pretty bad in action. - Boxing - Wii Boxing without a visual aid, and only one control in a hand. You tell me how terrible you think that concept is. - Spinning Plates Holy gently caress this game with the right crowd would be incredible. You make a spinning motion with the joycon to keep your plate spinning and you have to keep your joycon vertial as well. The game actively encourages you to gently caress with your opponent and knock their plate off. This will be an amazing standout game with your mates. 5 Spice Factor Games - Copy Battle - Listen to the sound queue, and then strike a pose. Your opponent then has to mirror that. Game will tell you how close you came to matching your opponent. Pretty fun. - Fashion Show - VOGUE! STRIKE A POSE! You're walking down a runway and have to swing your hips back and forth like a fashion model. Then after 2 turns on the runway you meet in the middle and strike a few poses. Really really fun to get into and get those hips swinging. - Air Guitar Battle - Strum along like an air guitar! Think you need to be in the right mood for this one, and it just comes off feeling silly having an arbitrary score attached to how well you've done. Dunno could be fun, but could have been just us. - Dance Off - Legit only game we didn't play as we were getting tired at this point. You dance and then when the music stops you freeze. - Gorilla - Beat your chest like a gorilla to the rhythm the lady gorilla in the bushes sings out. Have a better rhythm then your opponent and she'll blow you a kiss. Do this a couple of times and then you'll have a 'beat off' where you can pound your chest as much as possible for extra points at the end to determine a winner. Fun, but very physical. Also the game will literally stop and warn you NOT to physically hit your chest, but just do it in the air in front of you. Lawsuit The Game.Favourite Games Spinning Plates Fashion Show Ball Counting Quick Draw/Fake Draw Samurai Training Worst Games Baseball Baby Boxing Sword Fight Air Guitar Battle All in all I think this is a pretty solid collection of games. Obviously a great party game, but the price factor is what will keep people from purchasing it. 100% should have been a pack-in game. Had I not been able to get this extremely cheaply at launch, I honestly wouldn't have bought it. They're great games, but not at the price point they're asking for. If you're going to a party though and can spare the cash, go for it. You'll have a blast!

Just played a bunch of Zelda in bed with the Switch propped up sideways on a pillow. Laid next to it on my side, with my arms in weird positions with a joycon in each hand. Surprisingly comfortable and playable The future of lazy gaming is here!

But yo, can you imagine people with disabilities or injuries now being able to play a Switch because they can hold the controls in a position that feels comfortable for them?

Wish Shovel Knight was like $20 instead of $32.50AUD on the Aus eShop. Be a bit more enticing to buy it again.

lol at people having issues getting the joycon sliders off. They're tight for sure, but I think they're designed that way to stop Wiimote-in-TV style incidents Put the little T clip down, then push up firmly. That's it.

enojy posted:Idk if this is still the case, but the $25 game was 225MX on the Mexico eShop, which works out to $11-12 depending on your credit card's international transaction fee. Make a new user and Nintendo Account, say you live in Mexico, and buy it up. It seems identical to the US version of the game. It's probably the same files with no active region flags. Shows up as "purchased" in the US eShop, and can be played on any user account. That actually works out pretty well in AUD. It's $13 here just for Spectre and $15 for the whole thing if you go the Mexican route. Might do this later.

HD Gamecube games would be nice if they outsourced them to a 3rd party team to port them to the eshop. Super Mario Sunshine HD Super Mario Strikers HD  Metroid Prime Trilogy HD Or you know... new games in those series
