handheld mode would be 100% of my usage i imagine, because jem always plays stardew valley on the telly.

Fuck off do I. I've barely had the switch on the TV for months because the kids are always watching that shit "Odd Squad" on netflix.

Don't need to when you've got 2 Switches. One each in handheld mode. Easy.

I got my 8bitdo joypad via AliExpress, the SF30.. it feels a bit more plasticcy than i thought, but the dpad is very nice as are the other buttons, and it worked with my switch and macbook out of the box, so now the whole family can join in..

Multiplayer sale going on.. ( https://nl.pepper.com/aanbiedingen/nint ... sale-61319 ) unfortunately it seem be mostly the same games again reduced (like mario rabbids, which has been on a bit of a constant sale)
did buy enter the gungeon,(http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2016- ... eon-review ) which is a fun twin stick dungeon crowler.. perfect for handheldmode..


and will probably by fast rmx, after seeing this little movie http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digit ... over-wii-u
seems like a quite complete package, even though i found the wiiU (http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2015- ... neo-review ) version a bit empty (even thouh impressed by it visually).. and did learn there actually was a wii version too... ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mntwh53AcU ) .. might want to revisit Fzero GX after this, which remains quite amazing in my book

Nintendo finally opened gold points to switch discounts, stingy as expected.. at least you get a warning before running out these days, i got new luigi U DLC for free which is sort of nice, (although i wonder when if ever i will play it) http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2018- ... -purchases

Enter the Dungeon is godly. It made Binding of Isaac obsolete imo.

Does the Switch port holds up?

It popped up in my Facebook feed that Descenders is out on Steam today. I'd not heard of it, so I looked into it more and I see there's a Switch version on the way too... might have to get that if it's a decent port.

It seems that the gold weapons from 2-S make it easier but I haven't been back through that world yet and don't have the motivation at the moment.

They can wait. You won't be able to get them much cheaper in that time.

I just did it first time in three turns. The gold weapons help but they're only +10% or +15% so they're not dramatically better. What team / powers are you using? I used Rabbid Mario and Peach (who get the gold weapons, which is a hint I think.) How it went down:

ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view!
First round: took out all three minions, mostly by hitting all three with Rabbid Mario's boom dash, upgraded so each dash hit at least two minions. Use Mario and Rabbid Mario to mop them up. Hit boss with Grenaduck from Peach and activate Hero Sight.

Enemy moves, I got some hits in from Mario. Fires a grenade but it doesn't do much damage.

Second round, move up Peach to heal everyone, activate M-power (upgraded) to buff everyone +40%, move Mario up to ground pound Calavera then hammer attack. I was unlucky and Spring didn't trigger. Move Rabbid Mario up for a second hammer attack -- this hit Mario unfortunately, because Spring didn't work, but couldn't be helped. Mario left on about 50 health. Peach couldn't get a shot but I used Princess Sight. (I probably could have done something clever with Magnet Dance here to pull the boss off Mario before hitting him with Rabbid Mario's hammer. Only just thought of that.) With M-power, the hammer attacks are doing 250-300 each.

Enemy hit Mario and Rabbid Mario, KO-ing Mario. Moves, Peach got a shot off. By this point he was on about 150 health.

Third round: finish him off before the reinforcements arrive.

Annoyingly I got him down to about 150 health the first time I tried, and haven't been close since. I was using the same characters as you.

Maybe your character builds are a bit different? (Probably a silly question, but: you know you can reset your power orbs right?)

There was a Nintendo Direct this evening and among other things, Super Smash Bros was announced for the Switch.

They also announced the original Luigis Mansion for the 3DS which fills me with delight.
Author:  romanista [ Fri Mar 09, 2018 9:04 ]
Post subject:  Re: Nintendo Switch (formerly "NX")
Yeah , i immediately wanted to go and play it in the loft on the gamecube! Sort of hoped it would be a virtual console game for the switch (since have luigi's mansion 2 on the 3ds)

Other new things: Captain toad! (but i have that.. improved/cheap?), platoon DLC (subway!), crash bandicoot, dark souls, hyrule warriors... so mainly ports.... but the switch library is really growing really fast now...
