Modern Video Games / Re: What do you wish Nintendo would add or change about the switch in the future?

The Switch is on par to being what I thought the Wii U would be, a true successor to the Gamecube.

i struggle with this comment so much lol

General / Re: 1-2 switch sucks

« on: March 19, 2017, 07:23:22 pm »

i respectfully diagree.

i think  1-2 switch is just short of being a really genius title. its the type of game that can be played by people who haven't touched a controller in ages (if ever), and to boot you can play it without a TV as we all know, so your party doesn't need to be a house party for 1-2-switch to be useful.

if taken out of context, sure, this game isn't great. its not 1-player. its really not even 2-player.. 4 or more is best. and if you're a party of people that doesn't laugh and kinda poke fun during the game then you probably won't enjoy it. but if you enjoy each other's silliness, then its a blast.

and about those reviews... first of all, the people who will really enjoy this game aren't the type of people freaking out over every tenth of a point in an IGN review... secondly, why do reviews bother people to start out with? must they dictate your perception of any given title? and lastly... this is such a weird game that i'm not sure one can really trust the reviews anyways. the game isn't the game.. the people and the interactions are the game.

for the price.. maybe a little high, idk.. I'm ok with it because I knew i was getting it for a specific event. it was a good investment, every time we play it from now on is just bonus. but not everybody went into it with that mindset so i can understand how the price complaints and negative reviews came up. of course then we should probably be looking at games online before we buy so we at least know what we are getting ourselves into.. lol

Look, I love Nintendo, hell Nintendo is the reason I care about games (as I'm sure they are with most people on here.)
I can say in all honesty, I'm embarrassed for them at this point.

But it's such a weak argument to bring up the Wii and how it beat out both the 360 and PS3, besides die-hard Nintendo fans buying it cause it's the newest Nintendo console, most people bought it for the gimmick.

I guess all i can say is that I completely disagree...

'embarrassed' is such a strange word to use.

and at what point is motion control no longer a 'gimmick'? like how many generations does it have to be in and how many awesome games need to use it and how many zillions of consoles need to be sold before its no longer a gimmick... not to mention VR kinda hinges on motion control in some ways, which according to 'people' VR is the future.. oh, who to believe?


btw, i'm not arguing that they are taking the 'right' approach (how is that measured?...don't say 'sales' lol) , i'm just saying that the switch appears to be an incredible piece of kit that is extremely unique. not embarrassing to anyone lol

Well, you guys can carry on talking about that. 

I'm rather interested in 'Arms', I'm getting a Splatoon vibe from the character designs and after hearing from people who've had some hands on experience with the game, I'm curious to see more. 

Fire Emblem Warriors? alright! Can't wait to see that Fire Emblem direct next week

Super Mario Odyssey was very surprising to see at first but very soon spanned out to reveal the most interesting Mario game in years.  New abilities, wide open worlds to explore.  But most of all the New Super Mario Bros. aesthetic is gone 

Super Bomberman R, I'm super skeptical of how this is going to play out, I've got my eyes on you Konami

Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, yeah this is looking splendid

i would echo all your sentiments... really hoping the online gameplay of bomberman is better than what it was on Bomberman blast years ago.. otherwise I can't imagine that game not being awesome. the treehouse footage looked great!

also thrilled for Fast Racing sequel - so much high-energy racing fun!

xenoblade 2... i don't really need to say anything more

i'll play street fighter, will re-buy shovel knight for the new content...not crying tears of joy or anything though..

and moderately curious about Steep.

i would maybe add stardew valley to the games list... thats confirmed, right?

also, don't think  i see RedOut, sonic project 2017 or that farming sim game on your list either..



man I'm so pumped for bomberman and tetris... i feel like nintendo catered to me personally lol, and it came seemingly out of nowhere since most people were saying theres no way konami would work with nintendo or put bomberman in a game for that matter.. you've probably seen me go on and on about bomberman on this site

Parodius series

ooo yet another excellent bunch of games!


sfc hagane is more affordable than the US version...

Some of these aren't japan-exlusives, if that matters:

• Alcahest
• Assault Suits Valken (aka Cybernator)
• Ikari no yousai (aka Operation Logic Bomb)
• Panel de pon (aka Tetris Attack)
• SD The Great Battle IV

have you played other games from the Great Battle series? is IV your favorite?



also, I just remembered what is maybe the best choice  -   the Goemon series, AKA Mystical ninja series. only the first one was release stateside, and the series continued to get crazier with each edition

Aero Fighters (aka Sonic Wings) is a lot cheaper on SFC. Definitely worth picking up.

Terranigma (also came out in PAL)

Mario’s Super Picross

good call there!

ferraroso named some good ones

i really enjoy going thru SFC games, so I can name a few that I think might be worth your time

i think there are zillions of good RPGs so i won't bother with those

super tetris 3 (has 4 player support)
tetris battle gaiden (weird head-to head with powerups)
twinbee rainbow bell adventures (think sonic + rocket knight..but with classic twinbee color scheme)
pop'n twinbee
bomberman 3, 4 and 5
super family tennis (4 player support)
any of the power pro baseball series.. they are kinda tough compared to most baseball games from 16 bit era but there is a lot of text due to the story mode and the gameplay itself is quite unique. they have no equal in terms of creativity with baseball on SNES
battle cross (top down racer with 5 player support)

those are more arcade/sports style games, but hey, gotta have variety!

check this guy out...https://www.youtube.com/user/1SNESdrunk

he is only reviewer i can stand to listen to, and he has a few different ongoing series on super famicom games. might be just what you are looking for. his vids are short and to the point for the most part
