Topic: Nintendo Switch --OT--

@kyleforrester87 Thanks for the heads'up. This game has "in game achievements" in an option in the main menu. I didn't see it that much beacuse I was afraid of spoilers but there was something like die 1000 times, don't die at all, beat NG+ etc. This may be common, I have other switch games that have this in game achievement system (saturday morning, r-type etc.)

@belmont let me know how you get on, it has a reputation for being a hard game but it really isn't that bad. A few tough spikes here and there, mostly 2 or 3 tricky bosses.

Hyper Light Drifter is great! One of the best games I played in 2016. Love the soundtrack as well, same guy who did the soundtrack for Fez.

@Octane Agreed, amazing soundtrack (and game).

@Octane @Rudy_Manchego I agree more than both of you combined.

Disasterpeace's music was pretty much the only thing I liked about the horror film It Follows.

@kyleforrester87 Nope because when me and @Octane agree, we activate our magic rings of awesomenesss and become Captain Agree more than you, super hero who likes things so much it saves the planets ecology.

Lol after those comments I am eager to continue HLD on switch instead of Doom. I will leave more comments once I get a bit further in.

@Rudy_Manchego that's BS and you know it.

@Ralizah I knew he'd done some (or a) movie soundtrack. Didn't know it was that one though. I'll take a look.

@kyleforrester87 Clearly you are jelly because your ring is not magic. Just slightly worn.

@Rudy_Manchego my ring is absolutely spotless, thank you very much.

@KratosMD Have you tried manually resyncing them?

Also try manually restarting the system.

So I’m gonna be getting a copy of the new Smash Bros. I payed for a friends PS Plus and I’m having him get me the new Smash in return. I’m not sure when as he’s getting his finances in order (I was actually helping him that the other day, because he’s terrible with money.), but I’m gonna be getting a copy sometime.

My mate in work has lent me his Switch Pro controller, cos he reckons I'll need it for Kong due to the lack of a D pad on the Joy Cons.

Not sure I'm totally ok about using someone else's controller, I'll have to only use it wearing gloves lol.

@JohnnyShoulder Tropical Freeze is designed with analog sticks in mind. The ape's weightier movement didn't feel quite right to me with a D-Pad, and I imagine swimming segments will be a bit more of a chore.

Which is interesting, because I generally play every 2D platformer with a D-Pad. Even if it means rigging up an SNES controller on my Switch or PC to do so.

@Ralizah Thanks! I remember him saying that it sucked using Wii U game pad, but don't recall him saying if had played Kong on the switch or not.

I mean Rayman player ok with the joy cons. I give it a go anyway and see what it is like.

@JohnnyShoulder Everything sucks on the Wii U GamePad. It's needlessly huge and the analog sticks are weirdly uncomfortable.

I defended that thing for years, and I still think some games made really effective use of its second-screen capabilities (hello Rayman Legends, Pikmin 3, Wind Waker HD, and ZombiU!), but it's a terrible controller.

I think you'll agree that the joycon analog sticks work great with Tropical Freeze, but if you really need a D-Pad, it'd probably be better to just nab an 8bitdo Wireless Receiver and sync your PS4 controller up with it to play the game. The DS4 has a better D-Pad than the overrated Pro Controller anyway.

@Ralizah Ha ha yeah my mate in work pretty much said the same about the Wii U game pad.

I was a bit concerned before I got a Switch about the Joy Cons, but they have been fine. Think it helps that I have small hands.

Totaly forgot about the 8bitdo Wireless Receiver, think that would probably be a better option.

Smash has a 94 on Metacritic so far. We'll see where that ends up. NL is withholding a review score until they test how well the online works.

The single player content sounds about as good as I was hoping for. Glad I downloaded it, as I'm going to be dipping into this for months.
