Solkanar512 posted:Hey folks, simple question here but I couldn't really find an answer. I want to buy my brother a game for his Switch, am I able to digitally gift games to him? He prefers the digital copies, so I'm only being partially lazy here. AFAIK there's nothing like Steam gifting, but you can just buy a digital code on amazon or wherever and send the code to him just fine.

If Waluigi is playable in Mario + Rabbids I don't care how many Rabbids are in it, I'm buying it. I know there's a Waluigi and Wario Rabbid boss fight, but is my boy Waluigi playable?

Sakurazuka posted:BotW is the biggest selling Zelda title in years they're not gonna put back in the stuff I liked like actual dungeons and a sense of progression because that'll gently caress with the open world thing that everyone else liked. Man I really hope you're wrong, because I love BotW as just a generic open-world game that heavily encouraged exploration and puzzle-solving and stuff, but MAN when it tried to be an actual Zelda game? (I.e. the dungeons and bosses and getting fancy new gadgets and upgrades and stuff from sidequests) It kinda...felt a little lackluster? There got to be a point where I had no reason to do any sidequests anymore other than "to do more sidequests" because every reward they gave you was temporary. Weapons, materials, food, rupees, etc. the only permanent upgrades you ever get outside of stamina/hearts (which is entirely tied to shrines and nothing else) are clothing sets that have passive bonuses. Even the sidequests involving dropping dragon scales into the fountains of power/wisdom/courage just give you an elemental weapon (which will break eventually) and a shrine. It's like if every sidequest in OoT or Majora's Mask just gave you a blue potion as a reward instead of a mask, or an upgraded sword, or anything that wouldn't be gone five minutes later.

To the people confused about spelling Ganon with two vs. one "N" a page or so back -- it's how you'd write it if you translated his name from Japanese. Japanese doesn't have a way of writing something like "Ganon" without it sounding really weird since it'd be ga-no-n, the first "N" sound in gan-non wouldn't be there, so iirc Ganon in Japanese is written as Gannon, but the double-n is unnecessary when writing it in not-Japanese.

Tender Bender posted:I'm kinda like that with most Mario games, like I know they'll be fun but I don't really read previews/watch videos and get hyped for them. They just come out and I buy them and they're really loving awesome. Yeah,  Mario games are pretty consistently good at worst, so I never feel particularly hype about new ones, but I'll still get it eventually and it'll be great.

PantsBandit posted:You know what would really seal the deal for the Switch? Release a really excellent Mario Party game. I know you can do it Nintendo. I'm honestly not sure about that, the car mechanic has been in since 9 and doesn't appear to be going away  the same developer made 9 and 10 so unless they suddenly change I'm not hopeful we'll get another Mario Party like 5 or 3.

Panic! at Nabisco posted:I have kind of an issue with Gungeon in that it does that horrible thing where you only get heart containers if you perfect the bosses (even losing armor disqualifies you since you took a hit), and if you're able to perfect the bosses you hardly need more heart containers, so it's a system that needlessly makes the game more punishing for newbies. There are other ways to get heart containers, and being able to perfect a boss on the first floor, for example, doesn't mean you can perfect EVERY boss on EVERY floor

Kikkoman posted:The Marine is the best imo because he has extra armor and shoots straighter. 1. I have blank mapped to right-stick and B/A are both mapped to interact, those are the only changes I've made 2. Using a gun that isn't a starting pistol, shoot the center of a wall a few times, if it starts to crack (and it'll get pretty big after a few shots) there's a secret room there. I think secret rooms are more likely to be connected to a room on the outer edge of the map, but don't quote me. Also obviously there has to be room for the secret room, so if you can see another room through the wall, there probably isn't a secret room there.

goferchan posted:edit: also fun fact, in addition to running and looking like poo poo apparently the game on the classic model 3DS wouldn't spawn in enemies quickly enough for you to even reach the kill requirements on some stages, making the game literally impossible to beat lol this also happened in co-op on the wii u version, not to the extent that you couldn't win, but the limited spawns definitely made the game harder sometimes hopefully this version a. still has co-op, and b. it doesn't tank the framerate and limit enemy spawns

I wish they'd add in a not-splitscreen multiplayer mode too but that's probably too much to ask for since 3DS didn't have it either oh somehow I missed that, nice! There was also something in the character select that looked like you could pick 4 characters? So 4P co-op with two switches maybe? Or was that a feature from the 3ds game where you could swap characters or something?

Protocol7 posted:I am excited for Hyrule Warriors and Payday 2, but not excited for Dark Souls. I could never get into it because I'm bad at video games and would rather spend my time playing literally anything else instead of fruitlessly dying over and over and getting frustrated. Just play as a sorcerer, then all you have to do during boss fights is run around dodging and hoping you have enough spell casts to kill the boss or at least significantly lower its health edit: or summon friends to help

Ibram Gaunt posted:I guess I don't really see the big deal of Dark Souls on switch. Unless you just don't play non nintendo systems and never got to play it before now. Portability seems kinda whatever unless you just play around your house since lack of messages and other online features while playing on the go just sounds lame as hell. I dunno man, dark souls is still a pretty good game even without messages and co-op/invasions. And that's only while you're playing it portably AND with no wifi.

All the features from the Wii U and 3DS with new characters and stages, with everything important unlocked from the get-go. Toss Snake/Squids/BotW Link/Crash Bandicoot/Waluigi into play and serve around November to every single person who owns a Switch.

Yeah unless you're looking REALLY hard for something to get mad at, it's completely fine. Yes, some of the censorship is a bit over the top, but whatever who cares. The game's a fun Persona-lite thing, and trust me you're not really missing much by the battle shouts not being translated kore/korega - > this is it/take this sore - > that's it/take that owari - > it's over atatame kokoro no, suicchi on - > warming up your heart with the flick of a switch also the wii u gamepad being used for texts/LINE is really good, some of the messages you get are hilarious

Emron posted:I still suck rear end at Enter the Gungeon. Around 100 runs in, the farthest I’ve gotten is dying to a boss on floor 4. I’ve never really played a bullet hell type game before this, are there any standard tips I should know? Generally I try to just look at my player character and NOT the enemy when fighting a big bullet hell boss, helps with dodging bullets and you can usually just see the boss in your peripheral vision anyways to aim holding the swap weapons button to view all of them in slow-mo is very useful in boss fights don't hesitate to use a blank if you think you're going to get hit, ESPECIALLY during a boss, since it stops any new bullets from appearing as well, and you always get your blanks refreshed anyways table tech items (whenever you flip a table, gain X buff) are funny, but usually not worth it don't be too beaten up about not clearing the oubliette, a lot of the enemies there are obnoxious, unless you're trying to do something very specific that requires you go there, it's fine to skip it other than that, uh...never dodge roll in the same direction as bullets, dodge either towards them or to the left/right, but you also don't NEED to dodge roll everything. It's all patterns, so if you feel you're in a safe spot, try to make small movements through the bullets instead of immediately dodge rolling away. Bullet King and the Gatling Gull are good practice for this Don't think this was changed, but if you don't pick up any keys by the time you get to the shop, the shop is guaranteed to be selling a key, and the item thief doesn't steal keys, so you can safely just leave keys lying around until you find the shop and don't be afraid to break a chest open (unless it's red or black or something), you'll usually just get junk, but there's a small chance to get something more useful, and an EVEN SMALLER chance to get something REALLY useful also floor 4 might have the hardest bosses in a normal run, so that's pretty normal big tip: turn off screen shake in options, or at least turn it down significantly. It's a cool "feeling" effect but it makes it harder to keep track of bullets on-screen that you need to dodge

THE AWESOME GHOST posted:Pokemon needs a significant revamp in the actual battle system to stay interesting at this point I wholeheartedly disagree, past abilities/items and the occasional double battle, everything else is a gimmick that hasn't really stuck. There weren't even any mega evolutions in Sun/Moon, and I hardly think the series is dying. Changing HMs to Ride Pokemon in Sun/Moon was awesome but I don't think the series would have ended right then and there if they didn't do that. And yeah anything sounds lovely if you describe it like that. It's like saying Mario is just "running and jumping" or Zelda games are just "swinging a sword and pushing blocks." "Taking turns selecting moves from a list" is what a good amount of JRPG battle systems largely are, and people like that, especially for a portable game.
