Nintendo Switch: Thread 2: The Drift

[Huxleys Babkins]

Also Mario 3D All Stars if you wanna play upscale versions of 64, Sunshine and Galaxy - Admittedly you could probably get better results through emulation but it's a convenient way to play em

On a hacked Switch you can play the PC port of Mario 64.

how'd you get third party games?

cheers

...not quite following you here

[MrMrs]

Oh I don't know *how* exactly, just that's what the third party games on the Switch are, indies and a healthy selection of last-gen ports.

[MrMrs]

which are the best ones?

[falafel]

How does that make you feel?

[MrMrs]

i love you daddy

[Memorex MP3]

which are the best ones?

Almost every major last gen non-exclusive and virtually every indie darling has been ported to switch, mostly surprisingly well.

Skyrim on the Switch is the stuff dreams are made of.

Buy a PS4

Nah I'm just kidding there are lots of great games on the Switch and xbox.

[MrMrs]

which?

[buntyman]

I like the nintendo mario brothers and nintendo mario brothers 2

[Crenners]

ARMS
Breath of the Wild
Dodonpachi Daifukkatsu
Binding of Isaac Rebirth+
Fire Emblem Three Houses

There are others but these are probably the five I've enjoyed the most.

which?

[Pink Gregory]

@Crenners  Never figured you for a Fire Emblem guy.

I heard that Three Houses didn't compare all that favourably to Awakening on the 3DS (if you plaued that one), what do you think?

[brat-sampson]

Disco Elysium
Breath of the Wild
Witcher 3
Dragon Quest XI

That's your next 12 months sorted.

Dragon Quest XI is ace. Make sure you play the post game though!

Never played one before this. It's not something I'm interested in replaying either but the balance of character stuff and the combat (which I don't really enjoy elsewhere) really struck a chord with me and I put 100 hours in and really enjoyed it. Comforting atmosphere, decent enough story, some likeable characters and dynamic shifts.

I just thought about the games I played most. Odyssey is up there. Splatoon 2 is up there. I got loads of shmups and indie games but they're probably the most representative 'best' five for me. That said, I've hardly touched it in a good year or so.

[thelittlemango]

If you want a bunch of the games mentioned recently on here they're pretty much all on sale in the Black Friday sale.

[Pink Gregory]

No Bayonetta 1+2 sale.  Balls.

Might pick up Skullgirls and Disco Elysium myself.  Got Skullgirls in early access on PC but never played it much, can't argue with £7 to get it again

[thelittlemango]

I scrolled through pages and pages as the best games aren't frontloaded on the list necessarily, the most grim one I saw was 'Hentai Uni' a puzzle game that boasted "one handed controls".

equally I wish you could set games to 'ignore'

fuckin sick of scrolling through PANCAKE HOUSE TYCOON COMPLETE EDITION and MATERIAL CODE : PROGRESSION OF STACK MEMORY every time I want to look at the offers

New Mario Kart tracks out in December, which includes the London track and a Christmassy one.

Still can't get over how many levels that game will have once they're all out; 96 I think? Can't see how it will ever be topped by the sequel.

Gotta go Super Smash Kart really to up the ante next time.

[weaseldust]

help me cab! should i get:

super mario 3d world + bowser's fury?
OR
captain toad treasure tracker?

or new super mario bros u deluxe

[Consignia]

Personally, I'd say in order: 3D World, Treasure Tracker, and then U Deluxe. But they are different game genres, so do you want a 3D platformer, a 2D platformer or a puzzle game?

They are all pretty decent, but I've never been a fan of the New series except the original DS game. I'm also someone who enjoys 3D world more than most people, but Bowser's Fury is excellent too.

[oggyraiding]

3D World is great and there's a ton of content. I didn't gel with U Deluxe. It didn't feel very inventive, compared to 3D World's variety.

[RetroRobot]

All 3 are good but 3D World is fucking magic, especially multiplayer. Just chaotic fun.

Want to shoot bullets at your friends and loved ones? Throw them off pits? Camp the edge of platforms with a piranha plant in your hands, biting your mates to the pit below? Play 3D World multiplayer.

[Kelvin]

Bowser's Fury is secretly one of the best games on Switch, and it comes with a whole other Mario game (3D World), so that's the obvious choice.

I haven't played the Switch port of New Super Mario Bros U Deluxe, but the original Wii U version was one of the most boring Nintendo games I've ever played; Mario on auto-pilot, no personality or imagination at all. Save your money on that and buy any number of other 2D platformers instead.   EDIT: Or buy Mario Maker 2, which has a really under-rated single player campaign. 

[MrMrs]

Mario maker 2 is the greatest
