Yes. It's tough but incredibly easy to beat if you need help (it gives you the ability to lower damage taken, knockback taken, not die instantly from spikes, etc) thanks to the mod buster mechanic

I just maxed out damage reduction, homing shots, and jump-dashing and coasted through every level with no problem.

One thing is that each boss is weak to a certain element, but it is not logical which element works on which boss. So just look up a cheat list or you'll get really frustrated.

Look, while this app is obviously a poor implementation, but a lot of the criticisms about it are just completely incorrect. You available don't need any dongle unless you have to have game and voice audio both through your headphones.

The use case Nintendo likely imagined was Person A sits on couch, plays game, puts in earbuds connected to phone. Hears game through television speaker and chat through earbuds. As long as you're not wearing noise cancelling headphones there's no issue. This is the same as the experience I had on 360 except my headset was plugged into the controller.

The whole combining audio sources really becomes an issue in handheld mode if you want your system quiet. That is undoubtedly a complicated setup.

But in most circumstances it's not really complicated or the least bit confusing. It's just less desirable than having the console itself handle it.

But if you need your system quiet, you're probably not going to be in voice chat, since your loud goony voice would be cracking ear drums all around you anyway. Right?

Why does she even exist? Dixie should have been in DK64 instead of this new Kong with the exact same powers.

Ah, Miyamoto corrects, but Dixie cannot shrink, we had to create a new character.

Miyamoto, with all due respect, this tiny Kong can't shrink either until she learns the move. Anyone could theoretically learn that move from Cranky Kong and don't even try to pretend either. And while I'm at it, me Miyamoto, revered creator of Donkey Kong, why is Chunky Kong not Kiddy Kong? People don't like Kiddy? Well they don't like Tingle either, people are wrong.

I have these, yeah I bust them out for multiplayer. Definetely worth it. They feel good. The only downside is that it only works to press the inside half of the triggers (towards the center of the controller). Pushing along the outside edge doesn't work. But once you tell your dumb friends that, they get it.

Pretty interesting how in the first few weeks of life, there were endless complaints and reports of new flaws in the Switch design almost daily.

Yet like a month after launch, and after the high sales figures were released, almost all of the complaints mysteriously vanished.

The bullshit / extreme rare: Dock scratching the screen, the JoyCon straps "breaking" the JoyCon when inserted backwards, the dock overheating the switch and bending it. The kickstand not working.

The Clumsy: bending the rail on the JoyCon after dropping the system

The real: Poor range on left JoyCon. Easy fix. Poor networking - seemed to be completely fixed after an update. Kickstand blocks charging port, but I haven't heard recent complaints about this.

Absolutely this. If you let yourself be taken in to the world, it really takes you in. I forced myself to avoid all spoilers and hints except asking for help from friends, and the game was just exceptional. Possible GOAT

There needs to be more arcade style baseball games available.

MLB the show is legit an amazing franchise for baseball fans. It's near perfect.

The new Super Mega Baseball is a great arcadey game that is actually available on non-sony systems. Although I don't know if SMB2 is coming out for Switch. Hopefully they will port it.

Old baseball games generally sucked rear end and are propped up due to nostalgia.

The thing about realistic sports games is that if you want to play them realisitcally, you have to be prepared to lose a bunch. I think gamers aren't really used to that so it can seem pretty frustrating. Even in racing games, you're probably winning a majority of a time.

I think for me a good chunk of frustration might have to do all the teammates that are out of your direct control. With Madden they predictably follow the plays you pick so I guess that's why I'm fine with it...and soccer and hockey might as well be chaos to me so the sim games aren't that much different for me :v:. Meanwhile I play and understand basketball and trying to run something resembling an actual offense just doesn't translate to video game format for me.

Baseball superiority! There's usually only one person moving on each team at a time. No need to rely on teammates, everyone just holds down their own fort.

Breaking news regarding Waluigi and some potentially uncut content:

http://thehardtimes.net/harddrive/nintendo-confirms-waluigi-uncircumcised-reason/ posted:

Kyoto, Japan —

Nintendo President Tatsumi Kimishima divulged in an interview with Game Informer magazine yesterday that recurring character Waluigi is uncircumcised. The remarks were unrelated to the downloadable content for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild he had been asked about.

“Waluigi still has his foreskin,” said Kimishima. “You won’t ever see it but it’s there. We do not know why he remains uncircumcised, however. It might be a religious thing, it might not. But, yes, Nintendo players can expect some exciting downloadable content for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.”

Waluigi first appeared in the 2000 Nintendo 64 title Mario Tennis as an evil version of Luigi. Though at no point do you see any character’s genitals, Kimishima insisted that underneath Waluigi’s purple overalls you would find an uncircumcised penis.

Not everyone at Nintendo is confirming this new information.  “This was never brought up during Waluigi’s concept stage,” said Fumihide Aoki, Waluigi’s creator. “None of the characters really have any kind of back story… and if they did I don’t think their private parts would be something that we would ever bring up.”

Kimishima eventually revealed that with the new downloadable content for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, players can experience over twenty hours of gameplay including new challenges, new enemies and new treasures like the Korok Mask.

“Also, remember Shy Guys?” he added. “None of them have any gag reflexes. So you could really go to town if you wanted.”
