It's not immediately visually clear to me that the attack selected is a one-time-use consumable like it is when a card/sticker is selected in the previous two games. I swear if they lean into that mechanic for a *third* time..... I don't mind if there's some new gimmick for attacks like that ring thing, as long as I can't literally run out of attacks to use and therefore can't finish the freaking battle, which happened to me many times in the other two.

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 I don't know how they convinced themselves it was an interesting or fun twist on turn-based battles. It sounded sucky when we first heard about it, and it sucked in practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 So last Saturday the 16th, I decided to return to Paper Mario: Color Splash ahead of Origami King. Picking up where I left off on my old save, I beat the game today! First thing, it was surprisingly pleasant and nostalgic to return to the Wii U. That Gamepad is still so comfortable to hold and use, really nice hardware even if the setup is somewhat over complicated. As for the game, what’s frustrating is that I think it’s a really awesome game outside of the annoying battle system. The presentation and writing are just top-notch. The visual presentation is overflowing with charm and humor. The character designs and animation especially are the game’s best feature. I had a really great time going through the rest of the game with my almost-6-yo daughter. It’s hard to recommend but I’m pretty happy that I saw it through to the end.

Breath of the Wild is something I’m also tempted by but I’ve never played a Legend of Zelda game before. Ah shur, I’ve got three games to keep me going for the time being I guess!

A fun game that often goes on sale in the eShop you might enjoy is Steamworld Dig 2, a great little 12 hour metroidvania with more focus on exploration than combat Bilbo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mstrox 6,651 Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 It fascinates me that Mario Kart 8 is by far the top selling game for Switch, just because it already existed with slightly fewer bells and whistles on the Wii U. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still don't have a Switch - although the next Zelda will change that, assuming they haven't moved to another console by then. Almost got burned on the Wii-U, but thankfully they were gracious enough to release BOTW on both consoles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mstrox 6,651 Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 It seems to be cyclical for Nintendo. The N64 was huge, the GameCube wasn't, the Wii was huge, the Wii-U wasn't, the Switch is huge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilbo 3,709 Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Enjoying Pokémon Sword for the most part. Hop is the most annoying character in the history of annoying characters and the Dynamax thing is a bit of a silly gimmick. Could have done without it but I suppose they have to do something to sell us the same game 25 years later... I’m not even too bothered that all the Pokémon aren’t included. I just ordered Mario Odyssey and Tetris 99. Tetris 99 comes with a year’s subscription to Switch Online. Am I right in saying I can play all those old 1st party NES and SNES titles for free once that’s activated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
