Wish Sonic Mania was already available. Incredible that the first real classic platformer will be from Sega rather than one of Nintendo's mainstays (Blaster Master and Shovel Knight a bit much for a 6 year old).

Re: Nintendo Switch Discussion

There will be a smartphone app created specifically for Splatoon 2 apparently. The details aren't released yet, but that'll be the way you can communicate (restricted to friends you add vs. random players on your team).

You can add friends by giving each other your friend code or by meeting up in person and going to some settings page on the Switch to "search for local users".

Oh looks like I will not be communicating then lol. I still have a flip phone.

Re: Nintendo Switch Discussion

Are there any good games for Switch (or i guess other consoles) for a 3 1/2 year old who has impulse issues lol?

I have some free lego ones on Xbox from GWG, and we've tried Mario Kart a bit, but my son is the type that when he gets frustrated (like a youtube movie on tablet stops working) he'll toss it away or get mad and start complaining.

I know Minecraft eventually too, but it's hard to teach him when he's not really up for learning. I might just have to ride it out and keep trying. He brought me the Switch yesterday and wanted to learn right before bedtime, which is great, but struggling to find a good way that's not too complex or confusing for a kid. Back in my day the games were a bit simpler (less buttons, etc) so you just kinda figured it out.

Maybe one of the old Neo Geo The King of Fighters games? You can get by button smashing and pull off some neat moves in the process in fighting games. Think they go for something like $7.99 on the eShop. Could be worth a gamble at such a low price.

Re: Nintendo Switch Discussion

What do you all think about the no lives/no game over feature of the upcoming Mario Odyssey? Read a story on BGR about it. Wonder what the consensus is on this.

Should have stayed the way it was. I remember playing Mario 3D Land on 3DS and it was old school Mario where you're small (dead in one hit), big (dead in two hits) and outfit (dead in three hits). There should also be 1-Ups but should require extra work to get like solving a platform puzzle or hidden location.

Don't like the coin aspect as it will make the game easier unless it changes based on difficulty level. Wait...are there difficulty levels?

Not super helpful for you at the moment but my 3 year old loves playing Excitebike as it barely uses two buttons.. I have an NES mini but have works just as well on a retropie or just off of a pc emulation. Maybe something similar in the Switch catalog.

Walked into Bb yesterday and they had roughly 10 Switches for sale behind the customer service counter.

WWE 2K18 has been outed on several retailers as coming to the Switch. Will get it on Switch over PS4 without hesitation if it's true.

Re: Nintendo Switch Discussion

Also, has anyone tried NBA Playgrounds? What are your thoughts?

Little late with that as I just purchase NBA Playgrounds on the Switch a few days ago. When docked and on my TV, the game looks good......when not docked and playing portable the graphics look less the 720 and its very, very fuzzy. None of the other games I play have this difference, Zelda is beautiful in portable and on my TV. Was pretty disappointed with how NBA Playgrounds looks on the handheld.

That's disappointing to hear. Was looking at picking this and Snake Pass up over the weekend to change things up from Zelda (finished main story, working through DLC now). I know the developers have also had issues getting their latest patch to be approved by Nintendo, so it's possible the graphics issue in handheld would be addressed by that.

Re: Nintendo Switch Discussion

NBA Playgrounds has its own, dedicated threads in 'Other Baskeketball Games' and boy are people expressing their opinions. The Switch version's patch is long overdue.

And all the features as well including 8 men in the ring at one time.

Completely, 100% sold. I would have got it on PS4 but won't even touch it now.
