** Official Nintendo Switch Thread - Nintendo Is Back Edition

[TokenV]

for the Tetris 99 update they added an Invictus mode that is only available if you've managed to win at least one classic 99 battle

best I've ever gotten is 3th place so I guess this mode is not for me lol

I finally managed to get a win

got 2nd place already a couple of times but match 267 was the charm

I even did it with only 3 KOs so I even got a special player icon for this 'achievement' lol

Invictus Mode unlocked

Bought it just now, going to play through with the gf later today. Will report back.

I read that it's really short (2 to 4 hours) but I love geese and the idea of the game so I've been waiting all year to play it.

It is a must buy for me.. soon.

Does the gf play it but hands you the controller when a boss battle comes up?

Report back on Zelda and Goose game guise.

I'm biased for Link's Awakening since it's in my top-3 favorite games of all time ever since i was a kid lol

but it's a remake that stays very faithful to the original (thankfully), so if you liked the OG you'll like this

the art style is also beautiful, really well done

there are a couple of small things I didn't like about the remake so far:

- you can't map your sword, I would've liked to be able to map 3 items instead of 2

- the blurry effect on top and bottom of the screen in the overworld, why did they do this? I noticed it in the trailers and stuff but I figured this wasn't the finished product, turns out it was

[Muzzlrpress]

Finally got to try them out this morning, I lost since I haven't played in forever but yeah damn is that side-b strong.

I started A Link to the Past but I need to get around to Super Metroid. I've played most of the old Zelda games but only ever got through Metroid Fusion and one of the Prime games in that franshise and it sounds like I've been missing out...

I've only beaten Prime and fusion myself. This one seems like t will be just as fun so far. Played a lot of zelda, but never finished lttp. Had it on an older phone, but it got stolen and never got to finish. Was a pain in the ass trying to play usung touch screen controls, so I'm glad for an actual controller this time.

[TokenV]

almost finished Link's Awakening and it really is amazing

except for the occasional frameratedrop and the blurry edges of the screen (this is an artistic choice though, no technial issue) it's close to perfection imo

I recently had a playthrough of the DX-version for GBC so it was fresh in my memory and they really did an amazing job to keep faithful to to original, everything is still so recognizable and the couple of changes they did make are all improvements (+ some small new additions as wel like the Nintendo figurines and dungeon maker)

I do wonder how I managed to complete this game as a kid, in English, with no guide or internet

did take me months to finish back then, now close to 100% in a weekend lmfao

[euro7muscle]

Link's Awakening is a good time, nice balance to when I am not playing Borderlands and just want to relax

[triception]

Goose game is awesome. From what I've read I think I'm at the last level already so it is quite short for the price but personally I think it's worth it. Great art style and creative puzzles. It's the sort of game that's just as fun to watch and suggest actions as it is to play. I'd recommend it but like I said I love geese so they would've had to **** it up pretty badly for me to be upset.

Gf started off but quickly handed the controller off - she never really played video games but enjoys watching me play this and BOTW. Doesn't enjoy watching me play the old NES and SNES games though lol.

Link's awakening was one of my favorite GBC games back in the day. Is there an option to switch between the new updated graphics and the classic version? The 60 dollar price tag feels steep to me but I sort of want to snag it...

[Muzzlrpress]

Don't think I played old awakening. My earliest Zeldas were Ocarina and Oracle of Ages. What was the main gimmick in awakening?

no there is no option to play the OG version, only the remake

(would have been neat if it was an unlockable after finishing the game or something, but it's not unfortunately)

you run shipwreck and wash ashore an island where a giant egg sits on top of a mountain

turns out the windfish is sleeping in the egg and you need to collect 8 instruments to wake him lol

Spoiler!

don't continue if you don't know the story and are planning on playing it

Spoiler!

it turns out everything is just a dream and the island and inhabitants aren't real, so by waking the windfish they all disappear - a serious psychological mindfuk brah since you came to care for dem people

I might get Goose Game. Thanks for the recommendation.

Watch this -

I am currently playing the GBC version. I was gonna ask if it's worth playing the GBC version right before playing the Switch version. The answer to this question for me is, do you see the following line at all in the game: "This is too heavy to lift with your bare hands"

only if you try to lift something before obtaining the power bracelet if I remember correctly (and you have to actively press the A-button)

once you have the bracelet it is always equipped so it's never shown again

guardian acorns and pieces of power still give the text every time though, but it's skipped a lot faster on Switch compared to GBC lol

I'm glad I did a GBC-playthrough recently so it was fresh in my memory and you can really see the love and respect for the original that was put into this project

I am piiiiiiiiiiissssssedddddddddd..

So that Hori controller I posted above that I had pre-ordered, which they said was guaranteed to be delivered to my house by September 20th... Well on the 20th I got an email saying that it hadn't even shipped yet because they still hadn't come in stock, and they STILL are not in-stock and there's no ETA for when that'll happen.

Soooo basically never trust pre-order dates, because they can't even guarantee their stock.

[KoCorl]

just got zelda links awakening +fire emblem 3 houses + $10gc for $70'

slickdeals glitches FTW

Was coming in here to post about this!

Got Zelda and Astral Chain for 70 bucks too. Was literally about to walk out the door to drive to walmart and buy zelda for full price anyways. Thank god for always checking slickdeals.

Know nothing about Astral Chain just picked it up since it was technically free hope it doesn't disappoint.

What are must haves to make sure I don't fuk my Switch up with scratches, drops, water, etc. etc.

Already slapped a screen protector on it, and got a traveling case.

yeah that's about all you can do brah

just don't drop it or make it wet (not sure if srs)

[Peterclark123]

All new console? As we're only two years into the existing Switch's life cycle, a full, next-generation machine is not expected. Instead, the Nintendo Switch 2 is to be, more likely, a Nintendo Switch 2019 (or 2020), with a tweaked upgrade rather than replacement.

[euro7muscle]

Anyone using the GoPlay grip? Planning on getting a Satisfye grip when I am in the US next month but need something until then.
