Bobfoc Posted August 30, 2017 Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 Did anyone watch the Nindies Showcase? Lots of nice looking stuff there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatshortguy Posted August 30, 2017 Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 I may need to rethink the games I prefer on the Switch. Sonic, Isaac, Meat Boy? All great games to putz around with while Short Gal shops. Poly Bridge looks nerdily excellent. Kentucky Route Zero?!? Would never have thought it, but that may be a sneakily good addition. Really looking forward to Stardew Valley & Ultimate Chicken Horse, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RPS Posted August 30, 2017 Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 So starting tomorrow, I will be getting double the pay cheques... Urge...to buy the Switch... RISING! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobfoc Posted August 30, 2017 Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 I've just got Splatoon 2 and it's not working well at all. Out of about ten games I played, I could only finish one before being disconnected. That's disappointing, to say the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meacon Keaton Posted August 30, 2017 Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 Mario and Rabbids is fantastic and hilarious. My daughters and I found two Rabbids in the mushroom kingdom playing an eternal game of king of the mountain. Even when we walked away they were still playing in the background. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IGN's review pointed out that some of the battles can get frustrating because it boots you back to the very beginning of multi-fight levels. That seems a bit off-putting to me initially. Interesting spoiler from the Giant Bomb Quick Look: They actually "swear" in this game. Someone says 'hell'! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch the flowers in the overworld. They always bounce along to the music no matter what the song is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidMarrio Posted August 30, 2017 Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 So my Switch arrived today. Only got Splatoon so far but bloody he'll that game is like crack. It's so addictive, didn't realise how long I was playing it for. Really enjoy the colours and the simplicity of it. Fun and easy to pick up. Will trade some old PS4 games in at some stage and pick up Mario and Rabids or Zelda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've managed to finish one out of about ten attempted games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoGo Yubari Posted August 30, 2017 Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 Personally I'd say on average maybe 10% of my Splatoon games go wrong/have connection issues, at most. And that's usually in a cluster, where the problem is more likely my network. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobfoc Posted August 30, 2017 Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 I seem to last about 10 seconds before I get a communication error. It's so frustrating because this didn't happen with the first Splatoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apsham Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 Playing far away from your router? Switch itself, as with most NIntendo products has a pretty terrible wi-fi signal. Not bad at all in my apartment but in a bigger setting, maybe an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobfoc Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 That does seem to be the problem. I've completed a couple of games now, but I had to be sitting right next to the router. I wouldn't mind, but it's positioned in a dingy area that lends itself badly to playing games. I wonder if getting an adaptor for a wired connection might be worthwhile. The only problem with that would be the inability to play in handheld mode, which is really what I prefer. I'd like to play Splatoon while lying in bed like an entitled First World resident.

If I didn't, I would have a tougher time connecting. With the Switch, I'd probably be in the same boat as you and need to play docked at all times. Does the Switch even have the ability for a physical connection or wifi only? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been reading up on it, and there is a way to have a wired connection to the tablet itself, albeit with a couple of adaptors. The more conventional way is to connect to the dock, which needs a USB network adaptor. The official Nintendo/Hori one is expensive, but there seem to be cheaper (and, if reviews are to be believed, just as good) options around.
