Question for you Nintendo obsessives - any guess on when/if Nintendo will release Switch ports of Ocarina and Majora's Mask?
Hey guys, I'd be interested in your suggestions. I'm considering a Switch purchase, but I'm not sure if there are enough games I'd enjoy to warrant it.
A little context. I've been disenchanted lately with how games on PS and Xbox seem to be geared for "adult" audiences -- you know, serious, "mature"-themed stuff, with heavy stories, the grim/dark tone, punishing difficulty as a selling point, etc. I have been missing the earlier days of gaming, when games were simple, fun, and lighthearted. My life is serious enough. I look to games for pleasant diversion, not stress and strife. I'm old enough to be going through my second adolescence, and I'm not interested in trying to be "mature" and adult. I'm okay with being a little "kiddie," especially when it comes to gaming.
I do love a good story and good characters, though. I'll toss that in. I've never been a platformer guy -- I get frustrated with the trial and error aspects of some of them -- but I've been enjoying the recent SpongeBob remake. Gameplay is just simple, colorful, a bit childish, silly, and fun.
I've never owned a Nintendo console. I played with my stepdaughter's Gamecube for a while, many years ago, and I remember enjoying Mario Kart, but that's about it. I had a first-gen Xbox at the time and looked down on the Gamecube as "kiddie" console. I didn't grow up on Mario and the gang, the way a lot of you did. When I visit Switch threads, I'm usually impressed by how friendly and lighthearted they seem to be, in comparison to the threads on Playstation and Xbox.
To tell you the truth, my interest in gaming has really been dying over the past few years, and I'm looking for ways to revive it. I'm wondering if a return to simple, fun-oriented games might help.
Anyhow, I'm just looking for suggestions of additional Switch games I should check out. Here are the ones I'm considering already:
- Zelda BotW
- possibly Mario Odyssey
- possibly Mario Kart 8
- Deadly Premonition 2
- possibly Xenoblade Chronicles
Please let me know if you think there are other games I should check out. Thanks.

In terms of simple yet engaging games I'd definitely recommend Luigi's Mansion 3. What sort of genres do you like?Hey guys, I'd be interested in your suggestions. I'm considering a Switch purchase, but I'm not sure if there are enough games I'd enjoy to warrant it.

That's interesting info on the blood moon - I stupidly haven't been tracking where the good shit is kept however, I just assumed that once it was gone it was gone. I might have to go and look into that. Do things stay indefinitely after the blood moon or only during the blood moon?
Oh and I don't have the weapon (or I don't think I do anyway) - I have I think 8 or 9 hearts at the moment - I upgraded stamina twice but maybe I should have gone hard on hearts. Need to find some more shrines (the shrine locator is a useless pile of shite).
Yeah, the blood moon respawns enemies and weapons that are lying around outside (so not ones in chests). So they will be there again after every blood moon.
Some enemies have decent weapons so I would just even try to remember where I found some good stuff.
I'll definitely do that. I had obviously found out that the blood moon respawned enemies, it just hadn't occurred to me that weapons would respawn too, so I'll have to go hunting around to figure out where the good shit is. I also need to find some more god damn shrines - I'm having a bit of trouble finding any of the bastards at the moment.
I thinkI finally needed to resort to a guide to find all of the shrines before I headed to hyrule castle.
glad your still plugging away!
S Saruhashi mentioned sneaking into Hyrule but tbh I don't fancy it just yet - not until I get some better gear at least and know what I'm doing a bit more. I actually got a bit distracted as I was about to go in and deal with the mechanical lizard on on the volcano but concluded I didn't have enough bomb arrows so I went to go get some but got caught up in some other stuff and ran out of decent gear. I reckon though I'll continue hunting for decent gear and shrines and then go back to the lizard.
Super Mario Bros U Deluxe Penis is excellent too.
Note that you can buy a physical copy of either, try it and if you don't like it you can sell it for a pretty tiny loss as second hand prices hold pretty well.
For me, the Switch has made a huge change to how I play games and it's definitely for the better. I bought mine a couple of months ago and I've honestly been delighted with it.

Trust me brother, find all of the shrines for something cool before you head in. Avoid spoilers if possible.

Looks like I wasn't lucky! I concluded though that there might be some kind of scaling as I had some trouble with a shrine and ended up looking at a youtube video (I know - I am suitably ashamed of myself) to figure it out and the weapon drops were the same weapon but with much much better stats than what I got, which leads me to believe in some possibility of scaling.
Captain Toad and Links Awakening definitely fit the fun and light hearted criteria.That doesn't sound very family friendly.
Good to know about used copies retaining their value. Glad you're enjoying your Switch. I read your earlier thread on it, and that was actually one of the things that put the idea in my head.
Well, traditionally, WRPGs and action-adventure games, although like I say, I've been kind of tiring of the formulas in a lot of those, and I'm looking to Nintendo for something a little different, more fun and lighthearted. I have tried some JRPGs without much success, although I did like Lost Odyssey on the Xbox, way back when. The thing that turns me off JRPGs is the turn-based combat (I know they don't all have this), the combat numbers flying all over the screen, and some of the overly cutesy characters. From what I've heard, I think Xenoblade Chronicles might appeal to me.
Traditionally, I haven't been a big fan of platformers, partly because they usually lack story (which I generally like) and I always reach a point of frustration with them. I'm not the most coordinated guy, I guess, so all the carefully timed button-pressing can get annoying, at least in the more challenging platformers. I've been enjoying SpongeBob lately, and I've enjoyed Ratchet & Clank in the past, as well as several indie platformers (typically on the easy and colorful/artistic, side, e.g., Inside, Gris).
Hoovering up all the money is pretty satisfying.Damn, I'm yet to play this. Will do it once I do a couple more endings of Hollow Knight.
Heard nothing but wouldn't surprise me if that's what Good Feel are working on.One rumor. I need one rumor.
Hey, you guys heard about Wario Land 5?
this ain't a fucking game, where is metroid prime 4
I had no problems with that, if they dropped a Metroid Prime Trilogy for Switch this year.they are still hiring for it so unfortunately it looks like we may see it by 2040

OUTRAGEOUS-SAMA, NOT AGAIN
And what a stupid way to die bro.

I mean it was coming dude has been talking about that kinda stuff for a while.
They forgot my drink, I blame you specificallyDebate on his intentions aside, I just can't figure out who writes that post, doubles down twice more with edits, and thinks, 'This is fine. My peers will agree and celebrate me for this.'
That's almost what makes me think we're looking at some tard autism here, but... at the same time, so much about that post is damning. I can't disagree with the actions taken, I really can't.
Just a shame. I enjoyed the guy ultimately, and found him to be a character here. I don't think he meant to say that shit, or just big brained himself into a terrible line of thought, in his crusade against censorship, but it's done now.
RIP
If you're in first, keep that banana in case someone gets a red shell. That way you can hold it behind you and block it.Bit of a weird question but has anyone got any tips on how to be faster on Mario Kart? I'm decent in sim racing but my wife destroys me every time in Mario Kart - she has a remarkable knack of having the right shell at the right time while all I get is sodding bananas.

As for speed, are you taking advantage of drifting and drafting when someone is ahead of you?
Another small thing, is making sure you have 10 coins at all time in order to get that small speed boost.
NintendoGAF should get a Mario Kart room going sometime.
All it took was for OF to be banned to give hope
Mario Maker 2 just turned up. I think I know what I'll be doing tonight.
Get that mario maker code up when you get some levels built.
You're being a bit optimistic there aren't you? My chances of building anything not-shit are basically zero!
I built a hill once, it took me 5 hours. I watch a guy from GAF that streams Arozay If you check out some of his levels (his mario maker ID is on his twitch channel) they are pretty intense and rage inducing.
