Era, help me buy a new Switch game for a 20hr flight
- Thread starter Yoshimitsu126
- Start date
Y'all never heard of power banks? Unless its one of those things not allowed on planes
All good suggestions, I would just say to be careful about motion controlled games on a flight. The motion of the plane may throw off your movements. Not as pronounced as in a car, but it could be an issue.
A 20 hour flight will have either a power outlet or usb plug at your seat.
Final Fantasy VII is a phenomenal JRPG that just patched out a few glaring technical issues on the Switch port (including the music reset bug). You may not finish it in one flight but you certainly won't have to worry about being bored. That being said, you may want to find a guide before you go.
The two best experiences I've had when flying are with Skyrim and Ace Attorney. Time literally does fly with those games. I found games like Isaac and Celeste too stressful on a cramped plane and I couldn't play them for long sessions (I love them both though). If I had to pick just one I'd go for Ace Attorney because it's quite a chill game but always fun and engaging.
Boxboy+Boxgirl is a great game that will last you 4-5 hours, won't take up much battery life and is cheap
My recommendations would be Celeste, Dead Cells, Bayonetta/Bayonetta 2, and Dark Souls Remastered.
I'd never liked any musuo games before this one, not sure if that helps or not. The enemy variety is way better (most just have hordes of differently dressed humans), I already know and care about the characters (others not so much), there's significant weapon variety both between individual's weapons and between characters, it's just got a lot more going for it (imo) than the other musuo games. And yes, zelda fan service, lol. Getting to play as zelda, ganondorf, midna, etc = greatness.
I had no interest in code name steam at all. I gave Mario and Rabbids a chance and ended up not being able to put it down for like 3 weeks. The game is absolutely fantastic. I can't recommend it more. Never thought i'd like a strategy game like this but it sure showed me.
I don't know if starting with a 3-hour game is the best course of action.
Gothic Horror masterpiece! Addicting gameplay! Challenging and deep systems! Stunning OST and legendary voice over acting. The Mignola inspired artwork is perfection!
Do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A couple more suggestions - Wasteland 2, Valkyria Chronicles 4
Ehhhh no, A slog of a game at best.. The combat does not redeem its many, many, shortcomings and bad design.
"Wolves hunt in packs"
On topic: Go Dead Cells or Botw...
You aren't gonna be up for the whole 20 hours I bet. Probably get nausiated after 6 then get sleepy
Of the games you listed, Hyrule Warriors is pure fan service and mindless fun, and the gameplay loop is almost trance like in a way you'll lose hours to without noticing. It's also staggeringly replayable with hundreds of hours for completionists.
These are all good too. I'll also throw out VA-11 Hall-A if you like visual novels, as it has a good story and will take about the length of your flight to get through if you read everything.

Dragon's Dogma really is the other Skyrim game that you want to own, but is actually fairly priced. It's great and combines a lot of good stuff into one, all games that I also own on the Switch (Skyrim, Dark Souls, Monster Hunter). For the price it's a steal (and I had to import the physical copy in Europe and it was still a steal).
People are sleeping on this puzzle game. It's chill as shit and for $3.79 an absolute steal.
Into the breach, thumper, celeste, dead cells, captain toad (nice time but pretty short), dark souls, bayonetta 1 and 2, + mario kart 8!
Guacamelee 2 is amazing and if you played 1 you'll love 2.
But honestly, Celeste is one of the best games I've ever played.

I should probably mention I don't like JRPG unless its Pokemon, Paper Mario, or Xenoblade X lol
Leaning into buying Hyrule Warriors and Mario and Rabbids later.

You kidding me ????? Xenoblade 2 isn't even in your list ?? Its on bar with BoTW . Your 20h flight will feel like 40min trip to work.
