One Day I Will Return To Your Side.
I'm planning on getting the nintendo switch in mid-august when the revision hardware is out, I plan of splurging on myself so the purchase list I'm aiming for is as follows:-

1- Nintendo Switch
2- Smash Bros
3- Zelda BOTW
4- Sega Classics Collection - Sega AGES Virtua Racing
5- a couple indie titles, Windjammers.
6- A wireless gamecube Controller
7- the upcoming 8bitdo SN30 Pro Plus http://www.8bitdo.com/sn30-pro-plus/
8- A big enough micro SD card.

I'm kind of debating whether to get mario maker 2 instead of breath of the wild, what do you guys think? What indie or smaller titles do you recommend? is Sega Classics good or is the emulation broken? The list is large so it's probably gonna be staggered between two paychecks but its been a while since I treated myself with a console, I think I haven bought a console since the Nintendo DS since it's been nothing but PC.

Mario Maker is cool, but BotW is like a “god drat” level experience. Get that first imo.

yeah I think BotW is definitely the one, I tried it for a little bit and it blew my socks off, I'll definitely prioritize that.

acksplode posted:

Just get a Switch, an SD card, BotW, a good controller, and enjoy the next month+ of your life

yeah lol I'm a stinky smash boy at heart but definitely BotW by itself will more than tide me over for a while single player wise, I think down the road Luigi's Mansion 3 will be the next game.

I'm currently tied between getting a purple wireless gamecube controller that's officially licensed by nintendo (because I want to party like it's 2002 again since I'm a gamecube child and because it's the optimal smash controller, and I want to relive wind waker memories while playing BotW ) and the upcoming 8bitdo SN30 Pro plus for general gaming and retro stuff and because it's cheaper than a Switch Pro controller. I'll probably get both though so I can use the 8bitdo on my PC as well.

Man, I would kill for a new Wario adventure....

I really really wish I could get a switch with the blue and neon yellow joycons out of the box... definitely wont purchase them separately unless I can literally trade them in at no extra cost.

There's input lag in the emulation--it's not the best.

I would pick up the SEGA AGES titles you care about (all of them are very well done) and/or pick up the standalone Genesis Mini when it comes out in September.

ah ok, thanks for the heads up. if there's lag then that's definitely a deal breaker for me. I'll just buy some select SEGA AGES titles. I probably wont get the Genesis Mini because I cant justify buying two consoles. it was either going to be the switch or the genesis mini and I would rather have it all in the switch.

FF7 is an incredible RPG from 1997 and that's exactly how it should be viewed. It's an Incredible RPG from 1997. much like how Chrono Trigger is an Incredible RPG from 1995.

I really loving hate nintendo's complete refusal to release any of their SNES, N64, Gamecube, Wii stuff on the loving switch, it's literally the perfect machine I would gladly pay 40 dollars a year for nintendo online if they just let us have a bigger classic game collection.

Did my Joycons a while ago but did the console today and moved the Pro Controller into a new SNES themed shell.

Wow holy poo poo this rules! I dont plan on touching my future joy-cons out of fear of accidentally busting them but man oh man I would love to try and turn my pro controller when I get one into that SNES themed shell, was is hard to do? is the Pro Controller fragile? is the plastic material good? where do I purchase this shell?

One of the biggest gaming heartbreaks I ever experiences was when I was really enjoying Disgaea on the DS and then they decided to hit me with the mega-grind wall that was so insurmountable I wouldve had to give up living to accomplish. I will never trust that series with my time ever again.

I really do hope we get a Switch Pro. I've thought a lot about how they wouldn't want to make a bigger switch because of the Joycon and dock size for compatibility. Just shrinking those huge honking bezels would be enough for me along with some added horsepower.

I think we're not going to get a switch pro for another year and a half, I think the battery upgrade switch is all we're going to get for now so that's why I'm getting it instead of waiting.

you're being very silly,

it's a hint that SNES games are on the way because the last time they released games onto the system they made NES controllers to go along with them so it's very reasonable to assume that these controllers are being made in the leadup to an announcement of SNES virtual library.

yeah I'm pleasantly surprised FE is now making traction in the west, it's a shame that I'm buying the new switch sometime this month with smash and zelda so it's gonna be a while before I get around to getting Fire emblem.

I think the priority list for games in the future is:-

1. Luigi's mansion 3

2. Mario Maker 2

3. Fire Emblem.

isnt the whole point of a cutesy art style like that to take advantage of the hardware you have? that's nuts.
