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

I might go back to Mario soon.

Need to give Mario + Rabbids a break now. I can't beat the World 3 midboss and it's getting frustrating.

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?)

Yeah, I need to look at that again.

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.

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...

Don't think it ever made it to Vita in the end, which is a shame.

i think it did. In the comments section it looks like one of the developers commented about a 'translation' problem..., and see https://store.playstation.com/nl-nl/pro ... -st-111284 .. but in the end.. it's a perfect switch game too...

Download a demo on Switch. Play for 20 min. Buy game. Progress is not carried over from demo. That’s some bullshit, Nintendo.

What’s the game though? Is it just the OG game or is it that remake abomination that crept out the sewers a few years back?

This is from the article. It looks like it's many versions! This was recently released on the Dreamcast and that had loads of different versions to chose from too.
Quote:
Flashback on Switch will let players choose between the original 1993 gaming experience and “Modern” mode. The new mode has post-FX graphic filters, completely remastered sound and music, a brand new “Rewind” function that’s variable according to the level of difficulty, and tutorials for those who need a boost.

In what way do you think it's aged, myp? Graphically it still looks as awesome as it did then (vectors help with that I guess) but I admit that the gameplay and the unexplained "trial and error" approach of it isn't great.

Fair enough. I have to admit, I love playing through it, but as a teenager I had to consult a walkthrough to even figure out how to get past the first few screens.

Kind of inevitable. A bunch of indie games release on the Switch, and do very well, so then all the other indie games release on Switch.

It's what happened with PS4, and it happened with the Xbox 360 (to a lesser degree because MS only had a limited number of XBLA "slots").

Not so. There's quite a few interesting looking titles. I like my shoot em ups so I'm going to buy Skies of Fury DX, Dragon Blaze and Rogue Aces. These have all been released elsewhere previously but they seem perfect for the Switch.

Skies of Fury looks dreadfully boring.
Rogue Aces looks disposable.
Streets of Red looks interesting.
Dragon Blaze looks IM TOTES GONNA GET THIS SQUEEEE! Thanks for bringing it to my attention!
