Thanks for this. I decided to use it on the two Gunvolt (Striker Pack and iX) games, and plan to use the rest on the upcoming Monster Boy discount with my gold coins.

you're in for a treat, as the classes are all very different
Hello guys, this is my firts post here!
First, I'd like to thank tolkir for his hard work. This is my favourite thread and I check it every day, as a regular eShop user.
I'm from Italy, 41YO with 4 children :D
Talking about sd cards, I'm about to upgrade from 128 to 512 GB (SanDisk Ultra to SanDisk Ultra). I'm going to simply remove the 128 one and replace it with the 512 one, without formatting first. Then I'm going to click on every icon (speaking of it, I'm an icon sensitive guy...) and download everything again.
Any issues with this method?
I plan to do it by night, my connection should do it fast and get everything downloaded in roughly 10 hours.
About the games, currently I'm playing Gato Roboto, which is very good. The cat is clearly a fan of Samus, but it doesn't overstay its welcome with its short lenght, fluid gameplay, great boss battles and progression.

Welcome here !
To upgrade your sd card, just copy the content of the current one on your pc, then, copy this on the new sd card, and it's all good.
(you may have issues with a Mac though, I'm not sure)
Thank you! I'm quite excited tbh lol
Yeah, like I did with the 3DS, copy-paste
My issue is I don't own an sd card reader atm. And now that I think of it, I don't need to download everything in one sitting, do I?
So if I remove the old sd card from the Switch, the icons should stay there iirc. Then I'll put the new one in and... Download the games by clicking on the icons? Is it how it works?
So I beat the Messenger & its DLC yesterday as a small break from Yooka-Laylee (3 more levels + their alternative version left). For $12, I got about 10 hours worth and enjoyed a decent amount of it....though I have to agree the 2nd half when it decides to shift genres is easily the weakest part of the game. It may feel fun to have more moves to move around faster/easier in earlier parts, but ooooh boy was backtracking absolutely not fun when you don't know what you need to do. I'd say have a guide ready to reduce the time spent trying to figure out what you need to do next so you can get back to what the game does best in being a Ninja Gaiden style game but with a better difficulty curve.
Also got Wonder Boy & The Dragon's Trap since that was on sale. Not sure when I'll get to it considering I still need to play the other BF games I got, Bloodstained (PS4), Indivisible, and Aladdin/Lion King.
I might have some opinions for Taiko no Tatsujin ready to be voiced, but I wanna see if I can adapt to using the joycons over just recently spending a lot of time on the PS4 version & being more used to rhythm games with a dual shock controller. At the very least, I'm just glad there's actual unlocks this time compared to the PS4 version just giving you accessories & random titles for your online card. Maybe give the touchscreen a try, at least on the easier songs.

Clicking on the icon will probably bring you to the Eshop where you'll have to download again, yeah.
Imagine not already owning Monster Boy and not buying it with the current discount. Ridiculous right?
A word of advice: instead of letting Switch fornat your SD card, I think it would be better to format it first via other means, such as with a computer, to FAT32.
Switch will format certain sized cards (can't remember if all of them or if there's a size threshold) to ExFAT. However, it appears Switch's ExFAT driver isn't the best and may lead to corrupted files.
At first people thought that it was fearmongering, since it affected mostly folks with hacked units. But Pokemon Sword and Shield with autosave on ended up corrupting some ExFAT formatted SD cards.
It may not affect you in the end, but something to keep in mind.
Just for a fair view and perspective on this, I despised the second class and it ruined the experience for me. (I did love Ironclad though and really enjoyed the experience)
I prefer the Dragon's Trap remake artwork and music so, so much more that playing the two back to back actively hampers my enjoyment. That said, Monster Boy is a better, meatier game from what I've played so far.
I wouldn't go that far as it's a matter of taste, but yeah it's not appealing to me either, has a bit too much of that old Flash game look... Is there a demo ?
The permissions requested by this app are freaking me out. I want that free 10 bucks but hesitate to give my personal information to this app.
Wonderful news!! I've been waiting so long for this. JS&B was one of the best surprises for me this generation. I highly recommend it to everyone.
Did you try the defect though (3rd class)?
It's easily my favorite.
Ohh, got that mixed up or read the wrong information. Never watched any of these cartoons.
I give you a 1 hour headstart before triggering the excommunicado.
Hey, I just fired it up and updated, but the SKU seems to be different. I confirmed trying it with my US and EU profiles, and neither came up in English. As was feared, the English version is totally different, and the Japanese version likely won't be updated with the translation.
Aww, that's a pity, it is pretty cheap in amazon japan right now. Thanks a lot for checking it out!
I tried to love that game, but dying more than 10-15 times at the last boss and having to restart from scratch everytime really burned me out.. Especially as I never struggle to reach the boss, I think I reached it on my 5th or 6th try maybe (at least really fast), but it still takes 30-40 minutes of mindlessly killing weak enemies to get my ass handed to me in 30 seconds by the final boss.
Agreed and this is from someone who is not a fan of Rick and Morty at all.
There is. I grabbed the demo because "I could" and it reveal an incredibly (surprisingly) polished game. Sure it has that old Amiga/Flash vibe, until you actually start playing it and realise it is solidly realised.
Really? I mean I got 100% and the map pretty much highlights exactly where you should go with glowing marks(even the optional stuff isn't hard to distinguish on the map with open paths waiting to be checked out). Never had to look at a guide at all, and I'm not sure why you needed to?
Though backtracking a few times to the starter area(which is a bit too far from a fast travel warp) got a few sighs from me.
Thanks for the heads up. Love the base game, love Shovel Knight. Add the two together to great effect! Time to dive back in...
Yeah I can't stand games that look like old flash games like Castle Crasher, Ori and Cuphead
relax - i like the looks of these games. i've never understand the "looks like a flash game" argument.
I like Ori and Cuphead. Indeed, I'm not fond of Castle Crashers. I guess it's tied to those black outlines with plain colors and the way that everything animates.
Anyway I'll try the demo tonight to be sure :)
to be fair, neither Ori nor Cuphead have "that look". Should have said Hollow Knight, which does.
Mind you, I think the whole "flash look" is a batshit argument, but still.
Yes, i enjoyed it a lot, too.
I played it enough to unlock all songs, mostly in the nice online coop mode. My son is a beast though, he cleared all songs at the insane difficulty they added lately, yes including the Mortal Kombat one. He played it on PC.
By "cleared" I mean he got S ranking in every song at maximum difficulty. It's quite insane, but if you consider he's a 1000+ hours Geometry Dash player then it's not something so unbelievable.
Performance wise this is pretty good on Switch, with barely a little slowdown here and there, but nothing that affected my enjoyment.
