Super Mario Odyssey comes out October 27th, not 29th - typo in the OP.

This is mostly pointless but I didn't see it mentioned - you get like one sixth of the nintendo points for buying a cartridge game versus the digital version

e: I prefer the cartridge if I can get it from a local that's not EB Games. gently caress EB Games

Do Nintendo Points(tm) even do anything at this exact moment in time?

im not sure it was ever confirmed that new units had any sort of hardware fix in the same way that the ones people sent in got

but maybe there was a more subtle change to the manufacturing process that fixes it?

Someone posted an article where they disassembled the joycon before and after and the fix was literally a block of [e:conductive] foam inside the thing, let me find it...

Aha, it's this one on CNet with pictures before and after.

Super trivial for them to just fix it going forward without the end users ever noticing.

Is Shakedown Hawaii... good? It looked like a Hotline Miami ripoff aesthetically but the gameplay looks like two or three other things combined in an interesting way so now I'm curious.

and then it will probably continue until it is out

I don't think it's better than the good classic Harvest Moons like 64 and Friends of Mineral Town but it easily blows away the last decade of that series.

Yeah, to avoid the meme for a second, I don't think it'll beat out the old Harvest Moons and obviously I'd prefer Rune Factory 5 somehow magically starts existing, but Stardew is going to be good enough that I will be happy to buy it and play it and have a good time :shobon:

Yeah. I started to compulsively ask about it in the previous thread when I was going through a hard time in life. Then found out the team did announce a port which made me excited but me I begin periodically asking the thread when since they didn't give a date.

Worse. They announced it and it was listed as "coming summer 2017" and then they removed that line and since have only said "coming 2017".

Literally Stardew when. I'd rather have a date for late in the year than uncertainty!

First one went on just fine, so I have one left over and all the install mats. If anybody wants it for the cost of shipping, PM me - I've got a million spare bubble mailers so it's no big deal at all.

Nope. Took them long enough to announce EO5 coming stateside (August 2016 Japan release, announced for NA June 2017) that I haven't interpreted their silence to mean anything particular, though.

How is USF2 as a port anyway? Is it decent at least?

I remember someone here said they cut the background animations down to almost nothing or some equally ridiculous-sounding thing that indicated there were probably performance issues under the hood. But that's all I know and it's not a helpful answer.

Enter the gungeon is still aiming for a 2017 switch release, which is good, because that's probably my favorite rogue like out right now

Wait, are you serious? I never got around to buying it on PC but I've been meaning to for ages and I didn't buy Isaac because I played it to death on PC. That handles both my "roguelite on Switch" and "play this game" needs nicely, how the hell did I miss hearing about them Switch porting it until now?

I bought Gungeon on PS4 and PC, got probably around 200 hours total in it. It's not for everyone, but if it's for you then it's 70+ hours of entertainment.

Apparently I have 556 hours lifetime in Isaac between Flash and Rebirth. I suspect i will enjoy it and if not I won't feel bad about giving the devs my money even if it doesn't pan out :shobon:

Don't worry about any of them that you don't complete naturally. If you get a quest from someone that sounds interesting feel free to do it (stuff from named characters that aren't just "collect quest 2" or whatever tend to have cute dialogue and sometimes interesting outcomes) but otherwise ignore them.

You won't get there for ages but once you get to the cute mascot people tree village there's a really good sidequest chain. Everything else feel free to skip even if it's from a named character, honestly, it was all unmemorable.

So if that looks like something you'd be interested in, semi-good news for the indefinite future!

basically every digital indie release date for Switch is a giant glowing question mark. Stardew when, Hollow Knight when, Wargroove/Golf Story/Mother 3 when.

In fairness, we do know Stardew is at least running on Switch from those tweets posted a page or two back. So soonish. Ish. Maybe.

I loving love that this game allows you to solve problems in a bunch of different ways.

Also, I just realized after I beat the fourth shrine and got the backstory- that was basically just an extended tutorial I'd been playing for like ten hours?!? This game is loving HUGE!

Yep. Game is ENORMOUS.

And literally anything you can think of is at least 50% to work. Like, I felt like a total moron when I swam through an icy river that hurt me and then saw a floating log just go by next to me as soon as I was done.

Did you try Cryosis? I used to to very slowly cross a pond only to realize after the fact that there was a boat not ten feet from where I started my crossing.

I did, but there was a little cave overhead bit that I didn't think I would have clearance to get under. (turns out I would have - there's a shrine in there, I bet people will know exactly the one I mean when I say that - and it was clearly designed to get to in several different ways)

Game rules. The only thing I've tried that didn't work was throwing a metal weapon at an enemy when I was about to get struck by lightning for wielding it. And I can't confirm that I didn't time that wrong.

e: also why did I think Mario x Rabbids dropped today
