Nintendo [ARCHIVED] Video Game • Page 1749

It's probably pretty easy to fix on your own, but Nintendo also let's you send them in to get repaired for free (they provide a shipping label). I just had one done a couple of months ago.

 

Fancy a new Switch game, but not sure what to go for. Is there anything on sale that people would recommend?

 

Disco Elysium

(and Hades, if you haven't yet)

 

Haha it was actually Hades (and the Hades 2 announcement) that has made me want something new. Saw the announcement and got a craving for some Hades, did a run and thought "god, I've put multiple hundreds of hours into this, I need to vary things up"!

Looked a bit at Golf Story but don't really think it's my kinda thing. Dead Cells too, but I don't really like Metroidvanias

 

Dead Cells has the exact same loop as Hades, it's not a Metroidvania. It comes highly recommended.

Also that Cult of the Lamb game is very good!

 

Oh, I thought Dead Cells was like a rogue with Metroidvania elements, which wouldn't gel with me. I'll have a look at some reviews!

 

The only Metroidvania like elements are that sometimes you will acquire new abilities that will let you go to different biomes, but it's inconsequential.

it's the best playing 2D-game in my opinion.

 

There are absolutely metroidvania elements to it so if it's not your thing be wary.

It's a great game, but it does really fall into that category.

 

The only Metroidvania elements are that you get new abilities sometimes but they don't effect gameplay at all. Also you don't get lost etc.

 

Annoyingly it's £10 cheaper on PS4 than on Switch. But I want the portability... Dammit.

 

i didn't like dead cells at all so that kinda told me metroidvanias are not for me lol

 

I've pulled the trigger so fuck it, guess we'll find out if my love of roguelites trump's the Metroidvania aspect haha

 

what didn't you like about it?

 

I'm curious what turns people off about Metroidvanias? Is it just the backtracking?

 

i'm a simple man who loves rpgs too much: i like to keep the inventory i find instead of starting over new every time i die.

 

then what you're not liking is the roguelike aspect, not the Metroidvania ;)

 

hmm, maybe so. dead cells is off the list but i'm open to try other metroidvanias lol

 

Metroid Dread is one of the finest games ever made. If you don't like that one, then you know.
If you want a cheaper alternative that has more RPG-like progression, Ori and The Will of the Wisps is probably one of the best and most beautiful in this category.

Neither of these games have any sort of meaningful penalty for death.

 

i've heard a lot of great things about dread

 

you can probably pick up a used physical copy for cheap at a GameStop of your choosing. It didn't exactly light the charts on fire.

 

According to Wikipedia's list of best-selling Switch games, it's #38 at 2.90 million sold.

To put that into perspective, it's more than Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Arms, and New Pokémon Snap, but less than Paper Mario, the Switch versions of Minecraft and Among Us, and Yoshi's Crafted World.

It is however the best-selling Metroid game. That's something.

 

xenoblade is another game i need to get around to playing

 

There’s some new games that look interesting on switch, I forget the names though

I think two that I do remember are the outbound ghost and goonya monster

 

this is some penlab ass made up sounding BULLSHIT

edit: wtf those games are real lmao, my apologies

 

Is dragon quest treasures anything like dragon quest monsters?
