The only reason I haven't sold my WiiU is because it potentially allows me to play original Wii games on a modern television without first having to do a bunch of adapter rigmarole.

For anyone who wants a minigame compilation that actually intends to be one, I'd say chances are good UFO50 will get announced a Switch port this year. Hopefully on launch, because god I want to haul this game around and play the multiplayer on joycons so bad.

With cloud saves, would it be possible to have two Switches using the same account sharing saves/progress? The idea is that one Switch is always taken on the commute and the other is always kept at home in the dock.

This is a wretched amount of excess.

You have to throw the jar into a lake if you can't beat the game by the time the jar is full. If you beat the game, you can use the jar to buy the big ice cream for all your friends.

Hey, maybe dumb question, but whats the expected lifespan for Splatoon 2? I've already got like 30 games queued up to play on Switch, but the 30% off sale is tempting... I know eventually they'll stop doing splatfests and supporting other aspects of the game's online structure, so does the game currently still hold about the same value of playtime that it did at launch?

Thanks for the feedback everyone, I was somewhat concerned about whatever rewards you get from splatfests drying up after those end, but seeing as nobody brought that up, it must be a non issue. Gonna get the game soon! :woomy:

so you don't think the rerelease of, say, Kirby Super Star for between 0 and 8 dollars could have had a negative effect on the sales of the Launch Ver. of Star Allies, an anemic 60-dollar release?

I'm stupid, so spending time on free good games would be a waste of the money I've spent on new mediocre games. However, purchasing more new games without finishing the previous ones is acceptable middle ground.

So like Wargroove and the snes is gonna be announced as "out now" in a direct right?
That calendar gets real dry real fast at the end of the month.
So like early Feb

This month looks to have some pretty good games actually:

Pikuniku
Cursed Castilla EX
Downwell
TangleDeep

all release this month.

Also, Mutant Mudds Collection is currently 80% off at $3, which is a good price for anyone who likes more mechanical, older feeling platformers. Tight level design, but the soundtrack is really the high point.

For me- I want a game with a great, story-driven single player experience that looks great that I can just pick up and play. Pretty visuals, and no dumb gimmicky controls that will make me throw the controller at the wall. Don't want any RPGs or open-world experiences where I won't know what the gently caress I was supposed to do if I haven't played for a few weeks.

And I don't even know what this means. It's overly picky to the point that there's literally no selection. Almost every big budget story driven game is gonna be open world or an RPG, or for Nintendo games, a platformer, and you don't seem overly keen on those either. Do you like roguelikes or roguelites? Those can fit the bill of "pick up and play" very well and run a wide range of game styles. If you're really combing the eshop and you aren't finding ANYTHING? Then you really can't tell the difference between shovelware and a choice indie game.

That one is even weirder since it was practically a musical and there were original songs written for like every episode

A lot of the songs from that show have gained some viral traction but I want to share this lesser known one, I think it really encapsulates the sensibilities of the Donkey Kong Country show writers.

I think video games can tell very distinct stories, and deliver those stories in novel and unique ways, but video game stories shouldn't be measured with the same expectations or mindset as older, more traditional story telling mediums.Night in the Woods is an example of a game whose story I feel is told best as a game. Even beyond the more obvious "story" aspect of the game- the dialogue, NitW uses it adventure game structure to very skillfully put you into the shoes of the character and her life. The aimless wandering, the fun vandalism sections, the fact that you probably aren't very good at rhythm games, the whole subdued nature of the thing really puts a cohesion towards the two normally disparate parts of a game, story and gameplay.

How’d that game turn out? I liked the 360 Arcade one.

It plays really well but all the levels are short time trial deals, the game can be cleared in 2~ hours, the idea being you stick around to beat your best times and find all the hidden marble skins. Multiplayer game modes are allegedly in the works. I'd say it's a good game if you wait for a sale.

I’ve been checking a lot of places to see if Kirby Star Allies would ever go on sale, and it hasn’t. I can use my BestBuy GamerClub plus some credits to get it for like $30, that’s probably worth it right?

It's an easy game, even by Kirby standards, but if you've got someone to play co-op with, or if you just really like Kirby, it's a good time. The free DLC added in a lot of great fan service and some challenging post game content, so Star Allies is a better value now than it was at launch, at least. Also pretty sure it's gone on sale at least once, I think I got it for $45 last year.

Just downloaded the Puyo Puyo Tetris demo and didn't see a high contrast/colorblind mode.

Does the full game have any sort of option that isn't relying mostly on really similar colors? The yellow/green looks exactly the same to me so I'm really sucking at it.

There's a shop in the menu where you can earn alternate skins for the puzzle pieces, among them there's an "alphabet" option for the puyos that turns them into letters, but I don't know exactly how useful it would be for someone with color blindness.
