Joking aside I'm thinking I'm going to get myself Smash, Mario XCOM, Mario Odyssey maybe, and a couple others. I may get Zelda but I played at a friend's and the weapon degradation bugs me a lot. Though then again I beat most of Skyward Sword using the sword as little as possible due to the malfunctioning motion controls so who knows!

Mario Maker 2 may be a buy too

e: Oh I lied the answer is Picross, good thinking

If I get BotW I'll probably just beeline the master sword so I don't have to care tbh. I played an hour or two before, idk, I enjoyed it but there's just something about how fast everything breaks that makes me think it's all absolutely worthless, even knowing it's supposed to tie in to using other means of dispatching enemies. I always liked the 2d zelda more too tbh

Mario Odyssey is probably a grab too though yeah

No spoilers but unlike nearly everything else, you can not beeline the master sword.

Oh well lol ill just have to deal if I get it

I don't even have a problem with durability generally it's just so overbearing in botw from my experience with it so far

I want to bring the switch on the metro but I'm worried I'll drop it when it jostles. It's kind of unwieldy.

I need to get an actual controller too the joycons are awful feeling

It's not the prettiest game but the art style is great and I can tolerate its shortcomings for what it's doing. I think I just had a lovely experience trying with a friend's copy of Zelda.

Oh that's really good to know thanks, I thought any hit counted as a critical, not just a throw.

Are you playing on master mode or what?

Normal, but one hit did 2.75 out of 3 hearts.

It went easier when I realized jump attacks with the axe would knock his shield out of his hand

E: it sounds like I'm whining but it was a fun encounter

This Metroid controller I got looks classy with the bronze d-pad and trashy with the orange on the back lol, I love it.

BTW it's not that surprising it doesn't any more but I thought the Switch came with 1 2 Switch? It didn't have anything packed in with it.

Can someone please explain the intense love goons have for this game; I have it in the PS4, and to me, it's just average.
Like, I love the terrain destruction ( :rip: Return Fire ), and the 80s/90s action star references are enjoyable, but... enh?
What am I missing?

If you play co-op you do a screen-shaking high five that puts you into bullet time, and also you can flex your muscles

Okay, BotW actually owns. Everything everyone uses is broken poo poo that kills Links or goblins in two hits and explodes, I'm roasting mushrooms and acorns by just dropping them in fire, I'm sneaking through woods, cutting down trees for cover and mobility, this is some Wildman poo poo. I love it!

Also I started a forest fire when the wind picked up and one of my roasted acorns caught fire and landed in some dry grass. Oops.

Or just using a bunch of yellow jelly.

For new BOTW players. You can convert blue jelly to any other element by exposing the jelly to that element.
Toss some blue out on top of a mountain and BOOM, you got ice jelly.

Same for killing a ChuChu with elemental damage. It will automatically convert the jelly to that element.

What does that do?

Also I assume the answer is "yes" but is there a faster way to cook food then holding>dropping it one at a time?

Mario and Rabbids was a pretty fun game. It doesn't stack up to its direct competition (XCOM), but for half off it's worth checking out if you enjoy strategy games.

Also it just occured to me how incredible XCOM 2 would be on Switch.

I'm only a few worlds in but I'm enjoying it so far. It's cute!

The action economy leaning more towards dashes and jumps for setup than sprinting/overwatching is a nice change of pace from XCOM.

Do not play Dragon's Dogma for characters and story

The story is backloaded and rad, because the story is generic garbage your character isn't invested in or really told all of because the real story is the first story doesn't matter, you're achieving apotheosis during armageddeon
