Nintendo eShop - October 2018

It's pretty fun solo and you can jump into games or have people jump into yours.
Personally, I think the game shines in couch co-op.
That said, Undertale is a game that gains a LOT on at least two different playthroughs (assuming you go into the first run through unspoiled).
Luke & Rebecca.
Solo or local co-op game where you search for diamonds and then try to escape.
You walk around a map, avoiding people by staying out of their light of sight, as well as collecting red and blue key cards to open up doors.
Enemies will turn red when they see you and chase after you. Because your character moves slow, it seems kinda hard to run away from them. If you get caught, you'll end up in a jail cell but getting out is a matter of tapping A on the door.
You start off with 5 lives and each time you get caught, you lose a life. You also lose 30 seconds from the timer.
You're given a grade after each map. Probably based on stealth and time and not getting caught:
Here's how some of the maps look:
Quick gameplay I recorded:
Co-op can be played with 1 joycon each. A is your main and only button, other than moving with the analog/dpad.
I can't speak on replayability or content since I'm only on stage 2 but I assume there won't be much, other than going back to each map and getting the highest rank.
I'll play more throughout the day and give a better opinion later on.

So found something interesting, might just be a or slip up, but as you know the only confirmed window on the Sega Genesis collection for switch is this winter, well Sega forever's twitter says it'll release this year
Which makes sense it's the perfect stocking stuffer... well hopefully we get a date soon, I'd love to grab it next month

I like the look of this game since it has the visuals of an RPG Maker game. I might try it out!
You have to give one egg thing to the bug that lives far right of the town.
She will summon your shadow.

And that item is ridiculously late-game, and you have to have the foresight place it before you die. So, useless in 99% of situations.
And yes, even though the soul can be collected from somewhere else too if that's unlocked, there's a very good chance of dying again before getting there.
This mechanic added unnecessary frustration to my play through, on top of an already difficult, obtuse, and intense game. It forced me to unpleasantly grind souls as I lost a shitload of them a couple of times and it really impeded my upgrades and progress.
The person wasn't talking about the endgame item with which
you can teleport
the eggs.
Awesome! Thanks, I will order one today. I take it lag is not an issue? Would it be worth getting a wired controller?
Be aware that some 8bit controllers (sn30 in my experience) have dpad issues. I have 2 of them and both suffer from dpad going in direction not pressed.
I have heard good things about the hori pokken controller even though I have not tried it myself. I heard that not all games are compatible with it though. So far there seems to be no ultimate switch controller for dpad usage.

in dirtmouth, at the complete right open the door with a key. The lady inside will get you spectre back a the cost of a rancid egg
Still no sign of Drum Masters on the us eShop and that game comes out this week. I'm guessing it'll be $50, but hoping for $40.
I'm somewhat tempted to pick up The Gardens Between, given its current sale price (-30%) which seems quite generous for such a new release, but can't find much in the way of Era impressions on the game. Would anyone care to convince me one way or the other? Thanks!
Man this thread movies fast on busy weeks!
Please take a look at Luke & Rebecca! It's going to get buried but I am loving it so far. There's a solo mode too if you don't have anyone to play with.

Thanks for your heads-up regarding this game! It's a game I'd dismiss if I didn't heard anything about it.
I'll absolutely get it for the co-op in a few days when it releases on the EU eShop.

I keep on waffling on whether or not I want to get Diablo 3. I own it on PS4 but never really put a ton of time in to it, I think because something else came up. I feel like having it portable would really suck me in so that's kind of what I'm banking on. I've been really wanting a loot game so this is probably my best bet for a while (is there anything else on the horizon?).
FINALLY.
And kudos to SEGA for releasing it on a Wednesday on the last day of the month with three days' notice. lol
Don't do it, it's been dropping really fast.
Me too, I would pay for a season pass. Surprised me how the DLC was handled.
and like, almost all of the posts right before you are about it coming out in two days lol
Yeah I had no idea.
I still think it is not a good mechanic. The game is already hard enough and that is the right kind of a challenge that is great. I liked very much challenge in Celeste where the game is just hard but no bullshit like this. This just cause unnecessary frustration and stress for me. Btw I mostly hate roguelikes also so this kind of a thing isn't for me but in here it is in a wrong place and probably only negative thing in Hollow Knight.

I got Tricky Towers for some local couch play. It's a very well-crafted game, although the scope of the game isn't that big. You build towers based on standard Tetris blocks, and need to build a tower faster than the opponents. You get special items at certain levels, that you can apply on yourself (helpful) or on the opponents (damage).
Please note that Tricky Towers is not a puzzle game, it revolves much more around the fun of physics of building a wobbly tower than precise Tetris building. It's is a good party game and seem very well balanced to make it fun for everyone. The game also has online matches, but I haven't tested that.

Yeah, one of the bigger mistakes is to build your tower as if you're playing Tetris. I think almost everybody is bound to do that when they first try their game, but will soon discover that it doesn't make for particularly sturdy towers.
I like the mode in which you have to use as many pieces as possible in a very restrictive space. Put the game on 'special' though as the other difficulty modes aren't as exciting.
I haven't noticed or felt any input lag with my 8bitdo controllers when paired with Switch. Since my n30 pro came out some time before the Switch even did, compatibility was added through firmware updates, and performance was also improved by further updates. I'm still impressed at how well they got it working. The new ones should come with the latest firmware I'd think so should work well out of the box. Pretty much the only big downside to my mind is that you do lose the ability to wake the console from sleep.
I couldn't tell you if a wired controller would offer a significant improvement on input lag, I've used my xeno pro wired and also a friend's PowerA wired controller and personally didn't notice any difference in that area. That's just me of course.
I think you should pass on the Genesis collection based on the fact that it isn't a very good 'game'. It is wonky at best, the UI is kind of messy and the emulation could be a lot better.
Hopefully SNK collection works and runs well. Granted it isn't like either of these is going anywhere and you can buy them whenever, but I am hoping SNK runs well as I have a desire to play Crystalis on the Switch.
Yeah I know the emulation isn't perfect, but it's not completely broken and the tiniest bit of lag won't kill me. Plus I tend to be listening to something else so sound glitches don't drive me crazy. I'm mainly after the jrpgs, and some of the adventure style games like landstalker
Started Outlast on the PS4 last night, scared me good & so purchased it for Switch on the Mex eShop @ $9ish. I'm ready for Halloween with my family & friends!
Also pre-purchased Full Metal Furies after seeing a couple of positive posts here with Steam reviews corroborating the same sentiment, around $9 as well!
I may jump on Outlast 2 too because it's on sale.
Hidden Folks released Beach DLC a week ago & is having a sale on their core game for $1.99 (sale probably ends in 24 hours) for Android (unsure about iOS). If anyone's interested, it's a smaller cost to play this relaxing gem before it lands on the Switch!

I mean it depends on when the other one releases, next month is tight for me, but while this month is light I can't nesse do both and genesis appeals more. So if that drops this month I'll grab it instead, but if not I could use snk 40th as a filler(and I still have a preorder discount)
oooooooooooooooooooohhhhh nooooooooooo. i've already committed to two RPGs. MY LIFE IS FULL.
