No

Yeah, I've only been using my 3ds for the past 7yrs so catching up on Indie titles has been pretty nice.

maybe

No

yep, easily my favorite console i've owned

i love it

It's ok. I liked the Wii U better

no

Yes
Buy I really want fatal frame game on it

I'm enjoying the games, but it's sad how underpowered it is. Would definitely buy a pro version.

I still don’t understand why games being portable is to important.
Can’t people stay at home during their free time and play games on home consoles/PC?

Not until Pokémon releases

yeah, let's go pokemon isn't as bad as people claimed here

Don't have one

Is that so? I'm thinking about playing it

Love it.
Not him, but my friends liked it until they beat it and realized it had no real post-game or replayability. I'd wait for SS and just replay an older one if you need your fix.

I am

Yeah. Still mad at Atlus for taking their sweet time on SMTV though

Very much so OP, thank you for asking.

For the most part, yes.
I'm debating if Super Mario Bros Ultimate or whatever is worth it.
I haven't played a 2D Mario game since New Super Mario Bros on the NDS which was quite fun

Nope.
The only game I play these days is Smash, but I actually hate Smash. I just feel obligated to keep playing it because I already got suckered into paying for a year-long online sub and I feel like I'm wasting it if I don't use it.
Nothing else worth playing online though

Picked up Starlink for $15. It's a pretty decent Starfox game.

Yes, watching the clusterfuck from a distance has been very enjoyable indeed.
I don't own one, but I don't need to in order to get all the enjoyment I need out of it.

It's absolutely a meme.
You can't really enjoy games in true day-to-day portability, usually public commutes, because you must still be focused on other stuff such as your exit station or gypsies. Phones are MUCH better suited because watching videos or listening to podcasts are god-tier for the occasion, followed by simpler mobile games.
For the once-in-a-blue-moon portable occasions where you actually have time and comfort to yourself, such as wild camping, then yes Switch's kind of portability is good. However these situations are so rare I couldn't give less of a fuck about bringing a console with me.
The ABSOLUTE best-case-scenario is a plane flight or long bus/train voyage, as in 6+ hours. That's it.

When it comes to fake portability, like going to a friend's house, or moving to another place and staying in a hotel, then homeconsoles suit that need just as well. For example a PS4 (non Pro) isn't heavy at all, and you just need the simple power cable + controller, it all fits in a backpack and then you get the full experience on your friends house or temporary accommodation. Those places always have a TV and HDMI cable already.

I can't imagine ever using the Switch as it was intended. Even in long commutes I'd rather just bring my phone to watch series or play on emulators.
I HATED playing on the 3DSXL (even with CPP) because I'd do it 99% from home right in front of my vastly superior comfy PC or console setup, I'd get neck pains and handcramps from the thousands of hours spent in Monster Hunter and Etrian Odyssey alone.
Fuck the portable meme. I'm beyond glad mainline MonHun went back to homeconsoles.

t.someone who owned every Nintendo portable except for specifically these exact models: DS, DSLite, 3DS, New3DS, Switch, GBmicro. I've owned all other models, multiples per gen in GB and GBA's case and I only ever skipped the Switch, which is a portable and not a homeconsole or even hybrid in any way (if Switch is a hybrid then so is the PSP)

Aside from the bad online service, the Switch is doing fine. Unless your meaning of "clusterfuck" is Yea Forums getting proven wrong by the Switch's success in the gaming market, there's really no controversy to be found.

user, you go a different route every day?

I takes me maybe 30 seconds total of a 10 minute journey to know when the fuck I'm to get off.
About 3-4 seconds of looking outside and thinking "oh, this is not close to where I need to get off"

Plus they fucking announce the stops in my country.
Maybe you just have issues concentrating?

I honestly haven't turned it on in months so it's been collecting dust. Meanwhile I play my 3DS everyday.

Attached: 1541901890560.png (805x767, 507K)

Physical copy? If so, where did you get it

I do but I feel guilty planning games on it because I quit BotW as it was too open and too “loose” and I don’t have any idea when to do what.

Fuck no.

Where's Dark Souls 2 for the Switch?

games like Doom and Valkyria, why Switch over PS4/Xbox or PC?

I'm hacking my Switch as we speak. Is there a greater cursed item? Access to the full library but banned from online.

Attached: 1552333383203.png (678x823, 295K)

It is a meme, but the fact that I can play on my telly then go chill in another room with it is neat.

Not really to be completely honest. I keep buying games but they all are so painfully average I’m not finishing them
>Kirby
>No More Heroes
>Pokémon let’s go
>Mario Odyssey
They’re all just sitting half finished. Katamari Reroll is the only game I’ve teally ENJOYED but that’s just a port of a 15 year old game

>I'd get neck pains and handcramps from the thousands of hours spent in Monster Hunter and Etrian Odyssey alone.
That seems to be your problem user not the game.

Not yet. Dunno if I should wait until August. They usually announced 3ds iterations during august.

There's nothing worth playing online anyways.
Smash and Mario Kart are much more fun to play with your actual friends in-person rather than random shitty kids online. And Splatoon 2 is just plain shit all around.

waiting for ykw4 to carry my switch around

Attached: 1552618657696.png (700x437, 316K)

Sometimes I want to play vidya while I cook, but I know if I go back into my room I'm going to not be able to hear the oven go off/forget.

Or sometimes I want to soak in the tub and play vidya (relaxing as fuck, and feels good on my bad leg)

Sometimes it's nice outside and I want to sit on my porch and play vidya

I honestly couldn't give two fucks about portability outside of the house. A plane ride is the only time I bring vidya with me if I'm going somewhere, but being able to play vidya ANYWHERE in my house, not just having to stay cramped in one room? That's pretty nice.

No, not at all. At least not anymore.
Shit has been collecting dust since I'm done with Xenoblade 2.
I'm currently waiting for Daemon mech game.

Absolutely everyone is judging you for bringing that on the plane. Watch a movie and eat your stoopenwafel like a normal faggot.

pretty good taste, user. is wargroove as advance warsy as ive been led to believe? and i heard valkyria4 runs and looks like my asshole on switch. is that true?

"Bad online" doesn't even cover a quarter of the absolute deal-breaker issues I have with the Switch. In fact I don't much care for online on Nintendo consoles for obvious reasons.
From that aspect of things, paid subscription is a dealbreaker and inconsistent cloud saves is another dealbreaker, especially when it's the most fragile console. Combined with the shody non-transferable saves, physically.

Design/usability-wise it's a much bigger clusterfuck for me. I would never get one in my life no matter the games it gets, not in its current iteration at least, but I'm sure Nitnendo will release 9438145923 hardware revisions as per usual and I'm a patient man.

I have short routes and I'm not absolutely addicted to gaming, not that there's anything worth playing on the Switch in the first place anyway, so I don't feel the need to game 24/7 even when I leave the house for 20mins before getting to another place.
I'd much rather just listen to a random youtube video or podcast in the meanwhile, and then play Kenshi or EDF5 when I get home.

I can't imagine fully enjoying a game while in the metro.

Oh yeah, I forgot about the around-the-house situation. That's indeed one of the best use-cases. Don't forget the shitter too.
That being said, Xbone is currently the only system that lacks this. If I cared about portability that much I'd just buy a used Vita and play PS4 around the house via streaming. Anything that isn't a fighter or twitch shooter works fine enough, especially on your own network.

Sorry but looking down at a tiny ass screen and playing with shit non-ergonomic controls is much worse than looking at my pristine high-grade monitors (I'm a drawfag, need them for productivity reasons) and playing with a real controller or M&K

The controllers that came with the $300 smash player don't fucking work

Love it honestly. We play smash at the station every friday

>I have short routes and I'm not absolutely addicted to gaming, not that there's anything worth playing on the Switch in the first place anyway, so I don't feel the need to game 24/7 even when I leave the house for 20mins before getting to another place.

So you went from "it's not possible" to "it has no games woth playing"

okie

>Shit has been collecting dust since I'm done with Xenoblade 2.
I'd be in the same position if it was just for the exclusives. Ys VIII, VC4 and Labyrinth of Refrain have kept me using it since I beat XC2, and I'm probably gonna go back for the DLC after I beat Refrain. I'm waiting for Astral Chain, Daemon x Machina doesn't look very good.

Yes.

Need that Sword/Shield and Animal Crossing in my veins son.

Attached: switchcol.jpg (2016x1512, 894K)

It's fine but I am disappointed with the current game slate. Yoshi looks incredibly easy and Mario Maker 2 isn't really something I'm huge into.

I use Switch 99% of time at home AND in portable mode. Same way I use laptop at home 100% of the time. Its less hassle than sitting at my desktop PC or games console & TV.

Portable doesn't necessarily mean playing something on the bus or at a park, doofus.

The new Pokemon looks bad too. Looks worse than Sun and Moon.

It's been off for a few months since I turned it off after I got tired of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Was thinking of buying the Captain Toad game + DLC or New Super Mario Bros Deluxe, which do you guys think would give me the more bang for my buck?

This. Been playing through all of the 3DS Etrian Odyssey games recently, they're fun.

When did I say "it's not possible"?
I said the following
>You can't really enjoy games in true day-to-day portability, usually public commutes
And I stand by it. I truly enjoy a game when I'm in my expensive chair or beanbag, looking at an adequately sized screen, laid back, with an ergonomic controller at hand, wearing my godly headphones without outside noise, in the comfort of my home. That's immersion.

I don't get that in public transport. Why would I want to waste away my first experience of BotW (for example) in an environment that isn't ideal at all?

Genuine question: How can you tell from the tiny bit of footage we have and little to no info?

new super mario for switch actually looks fun as heck with new characters and some new fun level design sprinkled in here and there

It's more of a 60/40 split in favor for handheld mode for me, but I agree. I mostly play in bed or take the Switch along when visiting my gf's family, so that I can play in the evenings or whatever.

Because the games have been getting progressively worse since XY. And GF has recently doubled down on their comments about how the smartphone generation doesn't play games as much, which leads me to believe this will have less content and less post game than the DS-era games, just like the shitty 3DS games.

I only buy Nintendo exclusives on Nintendo systems since everything else is a shitty low effort 5 year old port.

I will occasionally buy indie games on it, but the small sticks, lack of a dpad, and shitty online mean most of those are gimped too. Nintendo consoles are for exclusives only and I can say I’m pretty happy with how I use it so far, picking it up for a little bit before dropping it for another console with more titles on it.

Rabbids Kingdom Battle is fantastic and so was BOTW, didn’t really like Odyssey as much tho.

Same. The portable functionality of the Switch just doesn't work for me because I would much rather play the game on a big screen, which I genuinely believe to be the main inherent flaw with the console. I'm too busy playing YKW3 to bother with anything on my Switch currently, but I'll surely drop 100+ hours into YKW4 on the Switch whenever that comes available, although I might just import it out of desperation.

Your insecurity is showing.

Not at the moment, because I'm at work. But when I'm at home, I do.

A question: why are we having these threads so often? I mean, OK, I understand those ''what are you playing atm and what are you excited for'' threads, but why are people making ''are you enjoying your XYZ console'' threads?

I bought a switch a few days ago along with Smash. What are some good RPGs that I can sink more than a few dozen hours into? Octopath any good or just acquired taste?

Buy something casual to play on commutes then, save the big boy "immersive experiences" for when you get home.
No reason you couldn't just play a round of Binding of Issac or any other indie game.

nothim but how about you just dont play "immersive" (lol) games on the train or bus? play some lumines or puyo tetris or do bounties in diablo or grind some disgaea or do mario kart time trials or holy fuck so many games where you dont need to be "immersed"?

Attached: 1453451249750.gif (250x233, 1.5M)

It’s a JRPG. If you like those you’ll like it.

I get what you mean user but that's purely hypothetical nonsense considering we don't know anything about the game yet.
You're probably right but so far none of what you said can be judged. Please god don't be right.

Nah, Octopath is shit. Get Ys VIII or Tales of Vesperia instead.

Octopath is good if you don't care about stories too much. It's not great in that aspect but fantastic in many others.
Xenoblade is alright but too weeb for my tastes.
Obligatory BoTW if you haven't played it on pc/wii-u
Dragon Marked for Death could probably be labeled an RPG and it's really not bad just needs more content

Xenoblade 2 is literally the best thing the system has to offer.

Yeah, finally got back to playing Hyrule warriors and finished story mode, glad I didn't buy the 3ds version. Also I didn't know in the added story had a Cia redemption plot in the wind waker part of the mode

lel.
I remember I said the same things about Sun and Moon in 2016 in their prerelease days. And I got responses pretty much exactly like yours.

Yes but I would enjoy it more if it was a handheld console.

Collecting dust on my desk here. Next game I'll most likely play on it is Astral Chain

Yeah, with the Arwing toy and everything. It was on neweggs 50% off games list the other day. Dunno if it's still going.

The Arwing is actually pretty cool looking and for on my Nintendo toy shelf nicely.

Yeah, it’s really great, but the biggest downfall is the god awful shitty wifi card. Literally get 2.7 mbs right next to my wireless router while my PS4 in a totally different room gets 37 mins. Absolute turbo jewing on Nintendo’s end.

Oh I know I remember but we got more info consistently coming out from S/M and anyone who wasn't an obsessive fan could tell that shit wasn't going to be great.
Graphics aside we have absolutely nothing to go on for this so far other than removal of mons in the wild like Let's Go. Just saying but wait like another month before you make up your mind.

How does BOTW play on handheld mode now?

I tried out the switch at a friend's house, and I saw how BOTW struggled at some areas (like a jungle looking area) and the frames tanked pretty badly. Is it fixed now or should I still expect frame drops?

We know the director of the shitty games is directing it.

i played botw for about 15 hours in handheld mode and that jungle area is basically the only area where it drops(and its pretty bad). very solid 30fps everywhere else.

There's a few areas where the framerate tanks (both in docked and handheld mode, honestly). The one that comes to mind the most is the area where you get the Master Sword, the korok forest or whatever.

Most of the game, however, runs pretty well all things considered. It's a shame that the artstyle and pseudo cel-shading sucks ass.

Attached: 342621356311.jpg (606x326, 93K)

It actually runs better in handheld than it does in docked. Honestly it doesn't even struggle too bad in docked either other than really crowded areas like the great forest where there's foliage + npcs everywhere where it'll dip when you look in one direction. Doesn't affect actual gameplay bc you won't be doing any there but it is damn annoying.

Yeah so be pessimistic about it but just trying to say don't write it off entirely until we get some info from CoroCoro or something. Hell even S/M had some redeeming features albeit absolutely tiny ones in comparison to the rest of it.

Octopath and Xenoblade 2 are the Switch exclusive JRPGs and they are both acquired tastes with many flaws. I personally didn't like the former.

If you're okay with multiplats then Ys VIII and Vesperia are safe picks.

yeh

>Are you enjoying your Switch Yea Forums?
Yes. I wish there were more games that are personally relevant to me. The games I've bought are all 10/10s, but there's only a handful of them.

Yes I am, friend.

Attached: 20190218_191730.jpg (3466x1746, 2.96M)

>The games I've bought are all 10/10s
Which ones?

holy fuck that looks so much better than the default UI. kind of ridiculous we still dont have themes on switch. i cant even put a fucking jpg as a background.

I wouldn't say that Octopath is okay if you don't care about the story. I'd say that the story (well, stories) are just... "normal" stories. There's no grand epic story to save the world or this grand conspiracy, there's just 8 individual characters going along their lives in a more or less separate manner from each other (although all being in the same party) and with their own personal grudges/demons/reasons for traveling. Be it together or alone, each of them paints a pretty average and mundane story. To some like myself, it's really interesting and refreshing to see these kind of stories. To others, it's a dealbreaker.

Also, without spoiling too much, there *is* an overarching big bad world-is-in-danger kind of story that connects everything, but it's secondary to the actual game's plot and most players who never go for the secret boss and secret ending to 100% the game doing all side quests will never encounter it. I think the game really shines once you 100% everything and it all clicks into place, and I absolutely loved it, but I also think it's too much to ask somebody who's not convinced about a game to 100% everything before you can "have an opinion" on it, since it's preposterous.

Attached: 7ef.jpg (600x600, 32K)

Haven't bought one yet. Waiting for revision / price drop / SMTV, whichever comes first.

I actually did 100% it and as you said - won't go into too much detail because of spoilers - it did 'click' by the end. Even so I just didn't find it that engaging storywise. I don't think it helps that you basically have a 50/50 split of the cast who are god awful and who are great.
It's definitely a great game but I can't ignore the feeling it's a real niche game that got hyped up for a broader audience than necessarily intended when it comes to the way the story works

>revision / price drop / SMTV, whichever comes first.
You're gonna be waiting a long ass time

Guys, can you give me a few RPG recommendations? To be precise, something like Quest of Dungeons and Dungeon Rushers. Random generated dungeons, loot, challenging battles, zero to none story. Is Darkest Dungeon like that?

Enter the Gungeon maybe

I've owned the Switch for 2 years and it's been the worst device in my house to own for both of them, even my Vita sees more action.

Switch has no games whatsoever beyond Starlink, Xenoblades 2, and Bayonetta 2, and the only one of those I actually enjoy playing is Starlink.
Mario Kart and Splatoon were great, but get boring quickly with so little to actually do with and with so little alteration.

I've hacked it after online services became monthly fees with a horrible emulation of literally who NES games as a token to make up for it.
Now I play games on it I don't care to actually play during my actual gaming sessions and just to fill the time such as the new Wolfenstein.

The Switch is a failed handheld, and after 2 years of nothing we should finally come to terms with that, all hack the damn thing, and just accept our losses.

Attached: lkxcuesjgdl21.jpg (626x835, 51K)

Good thing I have a lot of games to play in the meantime. No rush.

For Doom, aiming using the right hand gyro controller alone is amazing. It's really convinced me that you can do an FPS on a console with the accuracy of PC.

I feel you. Having a large backlog is based.

>Mario Kart and Splatoon were great, but get boring quickly with so little to actually do with and with so little alteration.
Agreed, thats why I can't being myself to pay for online. Those games are something I just play when bored, not something I play everyday. I'd feel like I'm wasting the subscription if I didn't play them everyday, and that would prevent me from playing games I actually like.

yes BOTW on acid is something else

Currently playing Dark Souls for the first time. Travis Strikes Again is the only game released this year that I was genuinely looking forward to. The others are just ports (Dragon's Dogma and Dragon Quest XI), but Astral Chain, Animal Crossing and Bayo 3 look promising Only Astral Chain though. I tried the demo for Daemon x Machina, but I hope the full game doesn't feel so repetitive and limited. Otherwise I'll skip it for now.
I hope next year gets better, but overall I'm satisfied, if not only slightly disappointed.

Attached: 1523532913151.jpg (224x251, 7K)

I wish game prices on games would gp down already. I'm poor as fuck, and can't spend $60 on every game.

I've been surviving off of smash and odessey since december. What's a good game out right now with longevity?

I've been thinking about getting puyo tetris, and current games I want like mario maker 2 and animal crossing aren't out yet.

>Currently playing Dark Souls for the first time
How are you enjoying the awful sound?

And it wouldn't be hard either, just create more maps, rotate Splatoon builds, create more DLC, story missions, etc. But these games never change and have a dying community of fans hungry for more.

I have a group of friends that all own a Switch and we play online in small waves but never extended plays, and so we never pay more than a month worth of online services maybe once or twice a year.

I've played it only on portable mode, which already has sound issues, so the only thing that I've noticed it's that every single sound has the same volume no matter the distance or position of the source.

Took some serious modding but I get some enjoyment out of it now

Dark Souls is all about atmosphere and adventuring through the world, sorta ruining it for yourself by doing that

Hello my cultural bro

T.Dutch

I met a random guy online once and he added me as friend on my Switch. He literally only plays Splatoon 2 24/7 every day, I always see him online and he is playing Splatoon 2, no matter at what time of day.

He has more than 5k hours on Splatoon 2 alone.

What the fuck is wrong with some people

Attached: kramer_wtf.gif (220x206, 207K)

I don’t see what’s wrong with that. He’s enjoying himself. I’m the same way but with smash and splatoon 2. Regis even complimented how much I played when I met him at Nintendony

Is it worth it to replay botw with master mode? I havent played since early 2018 but i got the dlc but i never bothered with it

My kids both have one, and I'll wait to see what Sword and Shield offer for multiplayer / battles before Iinvest in one for myself.

My switch is pretty much a smash machine. The Switch really lacks games IMO. The problem is that there's no reason to buy any multi-platform games on the switch since I can get a superior and much more consistent experience on my PC. Just wish there were more good exclusives to play.

It's unhealthy as fuck.

Says who?

So is posting on Yea Forums user. Yet here we are

It gives you more options and is more flexible.

>Switch has no games whatsoever beyond Starlink, Xenoblades 2, and Bayonetta 2, and the only one of those I actually enjoy playing is Starlink.
Yikes, that shit taste.

I haven't turned on in like two months. Depression won. ive lost all interest in life
