Currently shows as sold out, but "more to come". Easily worth $5 if you can get it.

One jank tip: The double jump is weird, you seem to get more of a boost if you hit the button twice in quick succession, rather than waiting till the height of your first jump to do the second.

I didn’t know I had a double jump until the penultimate base game level


I sold my physical copy but there’s no reason not to get this

Probably, but being an Ubisoft title means $5 is almost too much.

Sure, but they have to buy (or whatever) eShop codes from Nintendo and I'm sure that process is hardly as smooth as it could be.

That game goes on sale all the drat time, though I've never seen it quite that low...

It's a good game, Rabbid Luigi is where it's at.

It's still $15 (which it goes on sale for frequently), the $5 is just utilizing a site wide $10 off coupon on the Ubisoft store.

Bit the bullet and got a split pad to solve my loud button issues and unsurprisingly it’s very comfortable as everyone keeps saying. I only have it attached on the right side with a normal con on the left for gyro purposes and it’s very nice though it looks like a horrible homunculus. Do recommend

What are the odds that we might get an Ace Attorney Trilogy 2 (Apollo Justice, Dual Destinies, Spirit of Justice)? Just seems.... right... (I have Apollo Justice on mobile and it's alright; the Ace Attorney Trilogy just hit right).

Words cannot describe what a disaster the pie was.
I got a little RG351v handheld emulator thingy and I want to start replaying Earthbound but I also have a very very very small hope that we'll get it on the Switch soon maybe around E3... But I also know that's never going to happen. :(

I was really mad about this. There's no "make a pokemon evolve" moments like in the first game either but that one example is particularly egregious.

So, I got Xenoblade Chronicles DE today, after having played and enjoyed the sequel as much as I did. Just fought the faced mechon, and what the gently caress fiora's dead?? already??? Since she's a DLC character in 2, I thought for sure she'd be a permanent party member, not dead in the second chapter :stare:

The story is tighter in the first one and has real good character arcs and moments.

Speaking of DLC, Torna for XB2 is another tight narrative with a fun cast of characters. If you liked XB2 you'll probably really enjoy the experience.

Played it already, in fact. While I liked it providing supplemental backstory & character motivations, honestly, I preferred the base game. Occasional good moments (Torigoth was a nice gut punch), but the overall plot was kinda lackluster, IMO.

Probably didn't help that I'd had a fairly pivotal part of the ending spoiled for me right after I started playing. :v:

Xenoblade Chronicles 1 hits a good balance between batshit JRPG stuff and effective melodrama imo. When it goes off the rails it works. Neither of the sequels hit their stride in that way.

Lol if you think Nintendo will ever announce the switch pro, I’m now convinced they won’t announce it before the fall if at all. Nintendo loving hates announcing things when people expect them to theyll take their sweet time. Also Reggie no longer works for Nintendo so the only inroads Geoff Keighly has into the company is gone.
