Wait, so I literally just connected to the JP Eshop in 5 minutes and bought a Japanese game with a foreign credit card. In any other console I would have to Jailbreak to make it region free and buy overpriced JP point cards at shady websites. What the gently caress? Did nintendo finally get good at the internet? Or are they so bad this Good Thing is actually happening because of their oversight?

deadly_pudding posted:They're very bad at internet, but the Switch is region-free on purpose. Region free is one thing, but I've never seen an online game service that took foreign address credit cards. Not even Steam will do it for my region, I need to buy poo poo through a gateway. I'm not from the US either, so I've always had to deal with point cards if I wanted to pay sane prices for games. In here I just put my CC on the JP store and it was done, just like that. So much easier. Policenaut posted:What console would you have to jailbreak? PlayStation's been region free for 13 years and Microsoft eventually got on board with Xbox One. I jailbroke the 360 for EDF4. It's also such a pain to change regions on the PSVita that Jailbreaking might have been actually easier.

Is the switch stupid like the 3DS though? Where if you lose your 3ds you have to go through a ton of hoops to transfer your licenses to a new one? Or is it like every other system, where you can do all of it online?

These days you can get a ps3 for less than P5 itself, but yeah I'd say the PS4 is a more than justifiable purchase at this point. There's also yakuza if you're into that.

LODGE NORTH posted:It's 2017. Importing games is not hard at all. Depends on the country. Where I live, poo poo from play Asia takes 3 months to arrive and I have to pay a 60% import tax on it. Keep in mind that buying US games also counts as importing for me. It has never been easier, but it can still be a pain in the rear end if there's only physical options. And I was talking about game prices. What's the average income in Mexico? It makes sense to have cheaper games in there to help people and curb piracy. If people that can afford the regular prices on their first world countries abuse this stuff, they'll just revert back to regular prices everywhere and add a ton of region locking bullshit again.

I mean, it's obvious that they won't abandon the 3ds any time soon. I think the right question here is: Will there be anything to replace the 3ds once it's gone?

Enter the gungeon is extremely slow, repetitive and hard compared to the other games in the genre. I've beat Isaac, Spelunky and risk of rain. In gungeon at some point I noticed that at least 80% of my playtime was spent on the first and second floors with the initial gun. It had the potential to be the best of the genre but it feels like the worst one to me. The guns are very fun, the art style is amazing but I kinda feel it's too slow and unbalanced for me. It also messes up Co op because it's way too unforgiving for my wife or casual friends to play.

The wired gamepads for the switch are like $30 though. Worth the price and work natively on PCs.

It's still one of my favorite games ever, I swear I still see new poo poo in it all the time, Hell, I didn't even know the Mario Paint flyswatting game in its entirety was a hidden unlockable until this week. It'd be easy to put it on a phone but I'd love a new console version, especially with the HD rumble and poo poo. Yeah, the studio responsible for the wario games (and the rhythm heaven ones) is easily the most creative in Nintendo. I wonder what they are working on right now.

If you guys don't care about wireless gamepads, the Horipad is an official licensed gamepad with a very similar form factor as the pro controller for $28. It doesn't have motion controls, but it's excellent and works natively on the PC if that's a bonus for you. And you can remove the d-pad cover and they become 4 separate buttons, if you're concerned about wrong d-pad inputs.

Jade Mage posted:Not a fan of Mario in portable mode. I've grown too attached to my spin throw and I don't like doing that to the screen. Otherwise the controls feel great on pro remote and seperated joycons! There's a poo poo ton of buttons available and they force waggle controls on you. They should map some button combos to do the spin throw and up or down throws. I've been playing most of the game Co op and it works for the most part, but it could have been so much better. There are parts of the game like the tank where it gets very frustrating since the person controlling Cappy suddenly can't do anything at all, the motion controls when using one joycon are awful and you can either move or aim.

Sunning posted:It's the story of their lives. Japanese publishers are slow to announce support for next generation consoles and even slower to actually deliver the games. It's one of the reasons they've fallen behind Western publishers and upstart developers like CD Projekt and Techland. It's mutually beneficial for publishers and platform holders to be proactive and build an audience together for their games. It's still amazing to me how techland managed to turn things around.

Whoa, the RE pack caught me by surprise. 2 decent resident evil games for the price of one, and with local Co op? Next week? Does anyone know how the co-op thing will work? Full campaign or only special modes? I kinda felt the switch was lacking in good campaign co-op games (odyssey's tacked on lovely co-op doesn't count) so this might be perfect.

Ugh, superheat xonic is amazing but the controller layout of the switch makes it confusing as gently caress when you have to reach for the analog on each side. This game was clearly made to be played on a Sony gamepad.

Manky posted:Like yesterday I got the Gungeon pro-tip of not opening any chests or buying anything on floor 1 until after you take the boss out and it really improves things. The boss drops great loot and then you run around opening chests and head onto floor 2 ridiculously geared up. You have to be able to vanilla floor 1 but, like, yeah, just keep at it until that's not much of a problem. Switch version is great. My main issue with gungeon is how slow it is and how you spend 90% of the play time with the pea-shooter unless you get a good (very rare) drop. That strategy just makes things worse for me.
