So you've not played The Banner Saga 1-3 which I recommended in the same post?

Nintendo eShop - May 2019
- Thread starter tolkir
- Start date
It's 5am and I answered what I played on the Switch. Sorry for the mixup.
Yes... I mentioned I had in a previous post. It was on Steam though.
Okay so how about Wasteland 2, FF XII (or any of the FFs on Switch - VII just got patched for the sound issue), Valkyria Chronicles 1 or 4, Undertale/Deltarune, Into the Breach...?
Will check on Wasteland and Undertale.
How's the story in Valkyria Chronicles 4?
Just picked this up today.. I hadn't heard about it to be honest so it's a pleasant surprise. It's more of a spiritual successor to the Lotus Turbo Challenge games than Outrun (which my girlfriend fell in love with this weekend), but still seems really fun, sunny, colourful and easy to get sucked in to... The UX in the menus is gorgeous and the music is really good

Interesting! Petit Computer Smile Basic 4 comes out this week in Japan.
It's a game programming tool that had earlier versions on the DSi and 3DS.
Here's Nintendo Life's review of Smile Basic on 3DS
A demonstration of a vertically scrolling shmups made on the new Switch Smile Basic 4.
Smile Basic 4 on Switch supports USB Keyboard & Mouse.
EDIT: Is that a Wii U Dev Kit in the back right?

Shottriggers series finally coming to Switch? Hooray!
I'm in as soon as the English version comes out.
There was also a Wii U release of SmileBasic, but only in Japan.
There are so many good games out (and I still gotta play more Shakedown Hawaii) but I just keep coming back to replaying all the Picross S games... Something about just doing all the puzzles while listening to music or YouTube videos in the background is just super addictive to me. Any other games that would scratch a similar itch? I'm just about done replaying S1-S3 + Kemono Friends Picross for the first time (oops).

Oh wow! This is huge! Amazing game!
Is there a date? (I mean there are a few on that page but I can't decipher which is the actual release...)
HOT DAMN. I'm super glad to see more of their shmups finally be made on current gen consoles. I would love a DoDonPachi collection or something considering it's a bit expensive to import the 360 titles. But I'm just happy that more arcade-exclusive titles are finally hitting the home.Big news everyone!!!

And honestly, after finally getting around to playing Shikhondo: Soul Eater after paying like $4.25 or whatever via sale, it really made me miss the sheer insanity of the Cave shmups and the satisfaction of blowing up all the enemies and bosses. Not that it's bad bullet hell by any means, but there were times where some enemies just took waaaay too long to go down, even on Easy, and because of that, along with no visual feedback indicating they were taking damage, it feels a little underwhelming defeating certain enemies. Which goes for the bosses as well, but at least they give off a better feeling of "YEAH, I beat them, look at them explode!"

Finally! Bring every Cave shooter in existence to the Switch with TATE mode.
Switch severely lacks what you are looking for.
If I might make a suggestion, though - on iOS and Android.
Night Of The Full Moon is a fabulous little card combat game and it's only $1. There is a a $1 expansion but outside of that no microtransactions. The game is an absolute steal. Might scratch that itch.
Great suggestion, I'm downloading this! I believe Era has a thread for mobile recommendations, must seek that out after reseting my phone.
More solid suggestions! I would add in Hardwest & Halcyon 6.
Apparently, American Fugitive has severe frame drops on switch. It absolutely sucks because I was quite looking forward to this game.
For sure. I put tons of hours into that game a couple years ago, it's really addictive.
Im down for the Capcom stuff this week. Also looking forward to Dead Cells DLC, Gunlord and maybe a couple of other bits, though I'm still glued to the Castlevania collection so some stuff may well have to wait for a while!

I was looking at M2 stuff after watching the documentary and saw they had released a couple shmups on PS4 and Xbox One X. Almost pulled the trigger but I might just wait for this port of a Cave game instead.
It's a current-gen multiplatform release, so no real surprise. I didn't allow myself to get excited for this game for this very reason.
Finally picked up Dead Cells over the weekend since it was on sale. Mostly just been playing Tetris 99 and dicking around in the NES online games (StarTropics is pretty great but Gradius is too damn hard for me, even with save states) so it'll be nice to have something new to play.
Also tempted by those Konami collections, especially the CV one. Looks like a really nice package.

Shottriggers line finally making it to Switch is great news. Hopefully new releases do well and they go back to Battle Garegga too.
Also I remembered shadowman16 had good things to say about it, so I went and pulled the trigger on Horizon Chase Turbo and that was a good decision, game is a pretty neat (and gorgeous) racer.

I'm really torn on whether to pick up Yooka Laylee or not. On one hand I'm really clamouring for a platformer and I don't want to re-play Odyssey (and can't since I sold my copy). I can also get it for £14 with Gold Points. On the other hand I've heard it's not all that great as a game.
What to do, Era? Any general thoughts on the game?

I platinumed the game on PS4 and had a decent time with it.
It's very reminiscent of the older Rare games but not quite as strong. Still offers plenty of collecting, mini games, platforming, scavenging, etc... A couple of the worlds are really creative and well laid out, and a few are just ok. Think it took ~10-15hrs to 100%. The arcade mini games were the only thing to really frustrate, but they weren't all that bad.
So many great games available in general, nevermind on sale through most of this week. Over the weekend I picked up Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove and Thumper.
Started Specter of Torment for the first time - didn't play it yet with my Wii U version - and was immediately reminded of how much I enjoy Shovel Knight.
And Thumper for $5 was exactly the price I was hoping for, to finally play a game I've been very curious about and excited to experience. Can't wait to start that too.

Thanks. Think I'll pick it up. For £14 you can't really go too wrong.
Its a really decent racer. It gets pretty darn tough later on, reminds me of Ridge Racer in that sense actually, which starts off easy but those later rounds put up one heck of a challenge if your aiming for 1st place + all coins in the race. I still need to go back and play the other modes one day.
In the mean time though I've been playing Octahedron. Its a really trippy and awesome platformer that has simple mechanics but quickly throws some pretty tough levels at you. Which is exactly what I wanted. Its a nice change of pace from the Castlevania collection.
Key word here is "replaying." Is this really your second rodeo with these games? That's hardcore. And probably, like, 400 hours of total play time. Once you're enslaved to Picross, there's no escape. lol
Art of Balance, Hexologic, and Swap This! might be up your alley, and all are very affordable. Definitely worth a look.
I enjoyed it, it's a decent platforming game in the vein of Banjo Kazooie. It's pretty charming too. The Switch version runs pretty good comapred to the other console version but later levels do have some stuttering which is annoying.
I am so confused by Starlink on the eshop. If you buy the regular digital edition you get a bunch of ships, including the Neptune, Pulse, and Lance. And pilots including Chase da Silva, Razor Lemay, and Levi McRay. Then there's the deluxe edition which lists a load of DLC, including the pilots, ships and weapons (Neptune, Pulse, Lance, Chase, Razor, Levi) already included in the base game!! So is the deluxe edition just a fucking scam?? What's going on here??
And is there a reason to want a lot of pilots? Do they have their own storylines to play through, or are they mostly cosmetic?
And is there a reason to want a lot of pilots? Do they have their own storylines to play through, or are they mostly cosmetic?
I saw another Mech game on the eshop releasing at the end of June called War Tech Fighters.
Base digital only has pilots from Starlink and starfox, in order to get all upgrades you need a outlaw, a researcher and a prospector pilot to level up which happens to be the additional three pilots. Other than that base has everything needed to complete the game. So I guess it depends on whether you want full upgrades or not. And it's a better deal than just buying the pilots.
Also dxm still looks fun to me and the demo was over a year old now as it's the same one from last e3
Yeah I said it before but I confused the Nimbus game with War Tech Fighters, mainly because they both have semi-rip-offs of the nu Gundam (though the Nimbus game also seems to have a Sazabi). I still haven't seen anyone say that Project Nimbus is outstanding or anything, though.
The confusing thing is that base digital comes with so much more than base physical, which is why digital deluxe seems like a scam (because it only adds like 1 ship, 3 pilots, and 3 weapons). I can't tell because I already bought the deluxe, but if only the base is on sale you should be ok if you just want it to try out the starfox stuff.
The standard digital comes with 5 ships, 7 pilots, 12 weapons
Digital deluxe comes with 6 ships, 10 pilots, 15 weapons
Standard physical comes with 2 ships (one physical arwing plus a digital version of the ship the others come with), three weapons (two physical, 1 digital), Fox and another pilot.
Thanks, I'll check em out!
Also, forgot to mention I only replayed 15x15 or 15x20 ones which are the majority of the playtime bc 5x5 and 10x10 aren't super engaging imo
After being undecided for a few days, I finally found the nerve to pick up Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate.
I've put about 100 hours in MH World when it came out and loved all of the QOL things it introduced to the series (infinite whetstone, item shortcuts, etc.). So much so, I scoffed at MHGUs Switch announced and even said I didn't think I could ever go back to 'classic' MH after everything they changed in World.
Booted up MHGU, did my first hunt and was immediately like

That's awesome to hear ryushe because for all the things that World improved on and added, MHXX/GU is still a damn fine game with just as much going on for it as well. I put many many hours into X and then G and then XX and now GU, and World showed up in there between XX and GU for me. So I was fully aware of what it was before playing World. I can see it being a bit different going from World to GU though, but if you like Monster Hunter and you have a Switch... you are silly not to! It's several hundred more hours of monster grind! Enjoy!
I so wish I could get into MH. I've just played through the tutorials and when I actually get to fight something, I feel like I'm just button mashing until it drops down twenty minutes later.After being undecided for a few days, I finally found the nerve to pick up Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate.

I know the problem is me and not the game, but I just don't get it. :(
