Topic: Nintendo Switch --OT--

Not bad at all. Monster Hunter looks a little spin-offy for my tastes but glad there’s a trailer for Rune Factory 5.

@nessisonett I'm impressed. It looks like a gorgeous portable answer to World. And the movement looks really fun.

@Ralizah I really worry that the direction they’re taking it in will remove a lot of the depth that I love the series for. World already did that to an extent.

Wow, apparently Disgaea 6 is an exclusive? Big get. I know NIS is in love with the Switch, but making a formerly Playstation-exclusive property Nintendo-exclusive is a pretty bold move. Just how well are these games selling on Switch?

Well, I guess it's not like a Disgaea 6 Complete can't launch on PS5 a year or two later.

@Ralizah Same exact thing happened with Monster Hunter too in fact considering the series started on I think the PS2 and got a crap ton of entries on PS3 and PSP before jumping ship to the Wii for Monster Hunter Tri

Just got my copy of 3D All-Stars. About to start Mario Sunshine for the first time since I bought it on the GameCube.

@TheFrenchiestFry Ambitious PS6 Disgaea game in 2031 confirmed.

@SoulChimera Lucky dog. I don't even know if my copy is going to ship out.

However I end up getting it, I think either 64 or Galaxy will be first. I played Sunshine a few years ago, so I can wait a bit to revisit it.

@Ralizah Coming Winter 2014 for PlayStation 3.

@Ralizah Argh. Arrogant Nintendo paying third parties to keep their games off other systems again

Everyone should totally jump on Hades if you haven’t played it already. The best roguelike I’ve ever played and it’s only going to be better in 1.0 as I’ve had loads of fun in the beta. Downloading the update now on my PC!

I'm a big Monster Hunter fan, so a new mainline series game was just what I wanted. MH Stories 2 was also looking rather good.

I'm pretty darn excited for those new games.

MH Stories looks really good. I'm figuring out what the actual gameplay is, but I've always wanted to play the first one, too bad it never came to Wii U or Switch.

@Octane Did you never have a 3DS? They should be rather cheap now and it’s probably my favourite console ever.

@nessisonett I didn't. Not enough games for my liking to be honest. They are rather cheap nowadays. It's only 120 for a 2DS, but it's the pink one. The XL systems are still quite pricey. I could pick one up during Black Friday this year or next year, because I've heard they're being discontinued, but I'm not sure how to convince my GF after plonking 500 on a PS5 this morning..!

@Octane I honestly think the library is the best I’ve ever seen, especially considering the BC as well. It’s just so incredibly diverse.

Mario 3d all stars came in the post today. I really want to try out sunshine but don't want to start it and not get around to finishing it for ages so I've started with 64.

I've been playing it with the gamecube controller but I've had to use the gbros adapter over the official one because the official one doesn't support button remapping. So I've swapped B and X so I can jump with A and punch with B. Not sure how it was mapped on the N64 controller.

Bit of a shame you can't remap the official adapter. I don't like using batteries if I can avoid it and also the official adapter was really responsive. I noticed the teeniest amount of lag with the pro controller and the gbros adapter ( I guess to be expected because they are both wireless) in comparison to the wired official GC adapter. I should probably bite the bullet and get the mayflash one soon, it has a lot more functionality than the official one

I bit the bullet and ordered a Pro Controller. Maybe that will enable me to actually play Breath of the Wild without ruining my fingers. Mario should be here today as well and I’m a bit worried that they won’t quite work with the Cube controller as it doesn’t have an L input, only a ZL, which is why I can’t play Zelda with it.

@nessisonett You're literally never going back to the Joy-Con grip once you get a feel for the Pro Controller. Seriously my second favorite gamepad of the entire generation. I even use it with some Steam games now like Nier Automata and Jedi: Fallen Order

@TheFrenchiestFry I really do love the DS4. I use it loads on PC but if I like the Pro controller then I could use that too!

@nessisonett Yeah the DS4 still beats it imo but only because of the longer grips and the fact that controller has a built in headphone jack. The Pro Controller takes in a charge through USB-C which is a massive plus however over the DS4.
