Anyone playing Cave Story? Where did all the life capsules go? I'm stuck on 3hp
Midway though and I'm basically getting one-shot by anything.

Hard mode removes all but 1 life capsule, and said life capsule is obtained near the end of the game. (Unless they changed that for the Switch version.)

Nintendo doesn't want that one neckbeard with 4 switchs to play salmon run with himself and unlock all the dope loot from the comfort of his own toilet.

No, Jimmy Gamer must wipe the crumbs off his router, connect online and unfortunately play with other humans to unlock loot.

the complete impossibility of easily playing with friends in a pubic match and the lack of splitscreen make me baffled that Splatoon 2 is getting unanimous positive reviews. If a Call of Duty came out with this online featureset it would get loving savaged

currently three of us are trying to join on a fourth player's lobby, which means waiting for 3 people in their game to leave while we stare at a screen that says "waiting for a player slot to open up." If at any point any of us want to change our gear, we'll have to leave the lobby and rejoin, which could mean sitting through another round. This is literally indefensibly bad game design and I wish people would stop pretending it's some fun quirk of Nintendo

I guess people got used to Nintendo being really terrible with online features or something.

So, Splatoon 2, there a way for me to skip Peal and Marina's longass seemingly-unskippable announcements every time I leave the game and come back? Besides just mashing the A button and cursing?

Nope. At least the announcements don't pop up when the maps change in the middle of your play session like they did in Splatoon 1.

I'm not convinced any Switches were actually warped and it wasn't just someone OCD using a level and finding that the plastic back of his Switch wasn't perfectly flat and inspiring other people to freak out and do the same.

Or they just ended up bending it, since it is possible with enough force. Though the console is pretty durable otherwise, so who knows. (Though you'll want a screen protector for it, since the screen is plastic, not glass.)

The other thing is that the dock has a similar problem as to what the OG 3DS has. There are plastic components in there that will rub up against the Switch's screen, eventually causing scratches.

I gotta say, I never realized how much a lack of a proper D-pad can make things awkward. Playing 2D platformers with the direction buttons feels so off to me, that I pretty much resorted to using the analog stick. Shame that the pro controller's D-pad apparently sucks. I was thinking about getting that.

They never said invoking the old school sprites. Just a new 2D artstyle.

Honestly, I'd be all for a new look for the 2D series. The same artstyle was used for the NSMB for several games in a row, while SMB, SMB3, and SMW all looked different from each other. And the artstyle for NSMB looks so plastic and lifeless.

Anybody having issues with Splatoon 2 lately? I've been playing it with zero issues until yesterday. Yesterday it started disconnecting from literally every match after about 10 seconds. I gave up and quit playing, then tried again today (tried turning the switch all the way off then back on), and it persists. Literally every game starts saying the connection is unstable about 10 seconds in then DC's me.

Splatoon 2 runs on a peer to peer connection. If you're having problems constantly, something's wrong with your internet.

Cripes, I can't believe I'm considering this. Is it like Paper Mario type funny?

No way. It's an amusing game, but it's level of humor is nowhere near Paper Mario's. And it's sense of humor is different from it.

The real reason to get it is because it's a great strategy game. If that doesn't sound appealing, then I don't suggest making the purchase.

The movement mechanics are really good. You can cover so much ground with them, and it rewards you for moving your units to similar spots while also avoiding the issue of having your characters bunched up.

I think it's because the PS4 supports Game Maker, which Undertale was made in. It would probably be trickier to port to other consoles.

I thought the entire reason you use pipes for travel was because of plumbing.

The official Japanese profile on him said something along the lines of "All around sporty, whether it’s tennis or baseball, soccer or car racing, he [Mario] does everything cool. As a matter of fact, he also seems to have worked as a plumber a long time ago..." or something like that. No idea why people are freaking out over it.

What benefit is there to buying a season pass vs waiting til the content actually exists?

A small discount of some sort I take it? There's incentive for crowdfunding AAA studios or something, right?

It's basically the same thing as pre-ordering, only for DLC instead of the actual game.

Though in BOTW's case, the DLC packs can't be purchased seperately. It's all or nothing.
