Nintendo Switch

You don't need to go out of your way to specify a goose as fiendish any more than you would specify water as wet.

But yes, I'm tempted to go and buy this game when wallet is less kill.

You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!

Dataminers have found evidence Super Mario Party was going to receive paid and free DLC.

Weird that it didn't get it.

I don't think it sold very well.

I stand corrected.

Health sure is versatile. It's possible to be both light-headed and dim-witted. At the same time, no less.

Are you referring to Super Mario Party? It sold nearly 7 million.

Sorry for the double post, but this deserves a separate item:

Seems the dataminers had a mix-up. There was not Super Mario Party DLC planned after all.

GameXplain did a review on Ori and the Blind Forest.

It sounds like a really good porting job.

If a tree falls in the forest and nobody remembers it, who else will you have ice cream with?

Dragon Quest XI S review.

Another good porting job.

Aaaaand my backlog grows ever longer.

Speaking of DQXI: during today's DQXIS livestream, the developers said they fulfilled their promise to Iwata after he told them about what the Switch was and asked them to bring DQXI to the Switch prior to his death.

"We're all paper, we're all scissors, we're all fightin' with our mirrors, scared we'll never find somebody to love."

The first two House of the Dead games are getting remakes for the Switch, handled by the same team behind the upcoming Panzer Dragoon remake.

I would've just expected straight ports of the original arcade versions via the Sega Ages line, but this is cool too. Hopefully we get more games in the series ported over (I'm especially keeping my fingers crossed for Overkill), since they would be almost perfect with gyro-aiming and the Switch could use more Rail Shooters.

This is not the greatest signature in the world, no... this is just a tribute.

Bunch of 2017-era Nintendo game websites are being deleted. ARMS for instance is gone.

New Brain Age game for the Switch coming out on December 27th; Game plus stylus for $35, without stylus is $25; first first-party game to use the Switch's Home button LED to alert you when it's time to train; no other regions other than Japan announced

---

Also, official stylus announced for around $9. Again, no announcements for outside of Japan.

RE: House of the Dead remakes: the Panzer Dragoon remake must be looking really good if the team's already being entrusted with a different game.

RE: Brain Age Switch: Found this out earlier on Twitter. Most unexpected! And an official Switch stylus is something we really should've had since Super Mario Maker 2, which we did...in Europe.

I'm glad about the official stylus, but didn't studies come out that exposed the Brain Age games as not actually doing anything substantial to improve your brain activity or something?

Are we getting a Zapper Shell? Because how else is HOTD supposed to work?

Yeah, those games are just intelligence and psychological tests marketed as games. I read an article in Scientific American a while ago which suggested that normal games might be as good or even better, because they're designed to be fun and engaging.

Crossposted from the Mario thread: (article is in Japanese) Alpha Dream, the makers of the Mario & Luigi series, has declared bankruptcy.

Well shit!

There have apparently been reports of drift in Switch Lites.

Already?

Nintendo sure knows how to cater with Ring Fit Adventure.

GameXplain review of Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair.

Playtonic got it right this time.

If a tree falls in the forest and nobody remembers it, who else will you have ice cream with?

Also their Ghostbusters: Remastered review.

The game appears to be more like a straight port than an actual remaster, but the porting job sounds good. Only issue is that it's locked to 30fps.

Mixed-to-positive response otherwise.
