Katsuya Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 Other half picked up ARMS. Played it a bit. Honestly thought it was kinda garbage. It feels like Wii Sports Boxing with more movemen control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apsham Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 Picked up ARMs after being on the fence about it before the test punch - really into it with both the joycon and the pro controller even though I wish I could get a second set of joycons - they're so expensive, especially in Canada and it can't be justified when player two can just use the pro controller I suppose.

apsham Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 I'm getting trounced online - there's a fair amount of learning your character and figuring out your strategy and then you have to apply it to different characters that you are fighting and holy crap some people are good. I found out you can unlock new arms via a mini-game, so you can get other fighters arms for yourself which means that you kind of have to learn what the individual arms themselves do as well. What I kind of hate is that there are +damage versions of those arms that are allowed online - but I'm trying to get over the idea of winning being everything there anyways so I'm trying to let that go by the wayside. The party system is probably the best thing I've seen in terms of quick and go online play - absolutely flawless servers and load times as well. I played with both the joycons and my pro controller and it's fun both ways - for sure more effective with the pro controller though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thatshortguy Posted June 18, 2017 Report Share Posted June 18, 2017 I suspect this will be the next system we buy. Mario Kart, Snipperclips, Zelda, and Yoshi are all either on the wife or my's wishlist. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you haven't tried Wooly World, do give it a shout. Adorably cute and some difficult-without-being-frustrating platform action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meacon Keaton Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 I hope they come out with a Mario Party for the Switch soon. And I hope it's more like Mario Party 8 than 9 or 10. My kids are at a great age to play that kinda game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheWho87 Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 The announced RRP is $79.99, so expect the going price to be around the $200-$300 range as a conservative estimate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Ellis Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 You know what's funny? Going to make this reply, I had an unused post of 'Scalpers, start your gouging!' that I didn't make back when Nintendo announced they were ceasing production of the NES Classic. I like to think that same sentiment still applies. The NES one I always had in my mind that I was going to get when the price dropped, obviously that never happened because reasons. This one I will probably jump in on from the off because same reasons and I actually have more of a sentimental attachment to the SNES. Arguably I don't have as much of a need of one because like half of these I have played (and still own) but there's a lot of stuff I haven't outside of dabbling in emulation in the early to mid 00's. (Just counted, I have 9. Pretty much 10, I don't have SFII Turbo but I do have Super SFII which is pretty much the same thing) Would have been nice if they'd double up on some of the franchises they have here like they did on the NES Classic, if only for them to add DKC 2 and 3 which I've never played. My question would be, are they going to make just one model or are they going to do one closer to each region looks wise? Like, aside from the whole Mattell thing, the NES was still the same in the UK and the States look wise. SNES, not so much (shout out to coloured buttons). That and I would wonder if they would fix the whole 'side loading' thing that led to people loading their NES Classics with hundreds of ROMS.

Bobfoc Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 Is that Final Fantasy III as in the one known in the West as Final Fantasy VI? Also, if I may be an entitled sod for a moment, I'd have liked to see Super Tennis on there too. Oh, well. I still have my old SNES to play that on anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
