if you pick a splat fest team based not on what you actually have interest in but instead what some fictional character chooses as their team then i am afraid to tell you this but you are an idiot

neither of them give a gently caress what you do for them

when the inevitable pearl vs marina splat fest comes up then i expect you to die on your chosen hill

Why does it actually matter what reason they had to pick a side in the first place?

people who pick a splatfest side because of what character is backing it are like people who never nickname their pokemon

they have no sense of self identity and are incapable of just having fun with something stupid :colbert:

At least in touch screen mode. Will it even be playable with joycons?

finally checked out the nindies showcase

there's the obvious stuff i'm interested in-- shovel knight, golf story

i'm also very very interested in yono, floor kids, and dragon marked for death. basically i'm like 90% sold on those but would like to learn a bit more before i buy them day 1.

light fingers looks tight as hell?? like i only watched the trailer once but it seemed kinda yawhg-ish to me and i loved that game so i'm very interested to see more.

meat boy forever looked like a turd

everything else i range from "eh" to "neat but not that interested" to "a multiplayer-only indie game on the switch will never work"

They put out an update for the 3DS Animal Crossing instead. You probably won't be seeing that on Switch until a year or two after the 3DS is officially dead.

i honestly figured that they had something in works for the wii u but decided to push it back to the switch and that's why they had all these high res assets for mario kart and amiibo festival plus an explanation for all these amiibo cards

the update to new leaf felt like part of that stop gap stuff

but i guess they really just had nothing??

i liked hyrule warriors a lot but then the more i played it the more i started having problems with it

individually levelling up every character took a very long time

bosses where you could only hurt them at specific opportunities dragged the game down a lot (looking at you, imprisoned)

the adventure maps had some stages of just absolutely ball crushing difficulty

honestly that second point is what i had the most issue with. i think i saw fire emblem still has that guard crush thing where you have to deplete an officers meter to do a strong attack against them and ughhhhh just let me hit bosses in this warriors game

xenoblade chronicles was a game that had no right being as good as it was and as someone who tends to get super bored by RPGs i put like 80 hours into it and beat in two weeks

didn't play xcx because i heard the things i liked about the first game were not the focus of xcx

so xc2 being more a return to form definitely has me interested though i'm skeptical about the character designs and how the heck they're gonna surprise me with a bomb rear end story again

drat, you guys are really making me want to get to Xenoblade after I'm done with Rabbids and Samus Returns. I only have access to it on a 3DS at the moment. Should I just wait and play it on Wii U? I see that the digital version on there lets me use the gamepad so that's a plus.

xenoblade is already a kind of ugly game (like it's nice for a wii game but it's still a wii game) and the 3ds doesn't do it many favors

pick it up on wii u. gamepad support is nice if you like that (i do)

just note:
1) the game is LONG
2) if you don't feel like doing side quests DONT DO ANY oh my god there are so many

what a bad game

la noire is a game with basically no fail state investigation-wise yet it still explicitly tells you when you've hosed up but punishes you for restarting

it's like a total clash of game design
