  3. General Switch Discussion

    The Twitch app is going to be discontinued on Switch early next year: I found that it barely worked. If you ever tried to watch a stream that had commercials, they would loop endlessly or you would get a message informing you that you "cannot view this channel on this device". The only time I got it to work properly was if i put my own channel on (I would use my Switch as a second screen to make sure it was broadcasting properly). I do find it annoying that rather then improving the app they're ending it though. It was barely on Switch for two years. And it seems hardly anyone knew it existed lol

  5. Ghostbusters

    I'm glad you enjoyed it @darksnowman The game always felt like the third Ghostbusters movie we never got (until we kinda did a couple of years ago) and like you said, it's fun but does not outstay its welcome. It's a game i seem to revisit once every year because its a fun experience to play through. Hearing the Ghostbusters naturally chat with each other as you wonder around is looking for ghosts is just a joy. I really liked the Slime-tether upgrade and I wish they did more with it, I remember having fun sticking random objects to the ceiling, like trash cans and planks of wood just to mess around with the physics. its such a cool upgrade. I also enjoyed walking around the fire house nosing around and seeing the easter eggs they put around. Also, It's funny you mention a character customisation option, the latest Ghostbusters game (which just came out on switch) has that, although that game is multiplayer focused.
  6. Nintendo Switch Online: NES

    More games added: Mysterious Murasame Castle (NES), Devil World (NES) and Castlevania Legends (Game Boy)
  7. Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed

    This was recently released on the Switch (as well as Steam) along with a major update which re-titled it Spirits Unleashed Ecto Edition and added a bunch of new options and features a and a new mode, so I picked it up on Switch. I am a huge Ghostbuster fan so I wanted to try this game since it was announced, but I was worried I wouldn't enjoy a 1vs4 game, as that has never been a genre of game I've really been into. But I have found myself really enjoying it and playing it a few hours a day. Gameplay-wise, From the perspective of the players playing as Ghostbusters, the gameplay is how you would expect it to be: They have to search the building looking for the ghost. You can use the PKE meter the scan around and to help find him. When you find him you have to throw your trap and blast him to drag him into the trap with your proton beam. It's not easy though, especially when a real person is controlling the ghost. You can customize each part of your gear to have different perks like better battery life, longer scanning range etc which normally make compromises to other stats like running speed. As well as cosmetic changes like making the gear look like how they did in the 80's cartoon or the 2016 movie. And a bunch of others. The player playing as a Ghost has to haunt a building by possessing random objects and frightening the the NPC's to raise the buildings 'Haunt level'. If he manages to get it to 100% he wins. The ghost has three "rifts" hidden around the level which are basically his lives, so if he gets caught in a trap he can return back using a rift. However the Ghostbusters can find these rifts before hand and destroy them (it takes ages to wear them down and leaves them vulnerable when they're focused on one) . There is also a character creation option which is pretty good to mess around in. I was boring and just recreated the Ghostbusters from the 80's cartoon, but the character's you are not using just wonder around the firehouse doing random things, so its cool to see them hanging around the place: I'm enjoying the game a lot and its clear that a lot of love went into making it from the developers, as there are so many references to both the movies and the cartoons everywhere. The fanboy in me just likes wondering around the Firehouse, which serves as the Hub area to access everything. They have moved Ray's Occult Book store from the second movie right next door, so you can wonder over there and talk to Ray, or shoot a target range of ghosts in the alleyway in-between. They have Dan Aykroyd and Ernie Hudson reprising their roles as Ray and Winston who seem to have a lot of recorded dialog if you walk up to their NPC's to talk. There is also a story that runs as you level up. It's short but being as this is an online focused game its not a big issue, plus the latest update added a new story that kicks in once you finish the first one. It's not without its issues though, as mentioned the story mode is short, I think some of the quests (or contracts as they call it) are way too much of a slog to complete just to unlock some alternative colours or nametags and the game itself is a little buggy. I have had it crash twice on the Switch and stuff like the opening cutscenes are a little janky as it as though the game can't run everything as fast as the scene is asking it to. But its a good game, and I think it has a lot of potential. I am of the understanding they are planning more content so I am looking forward to whatever they add next.

  14. My Nintendo ( Club Nintendo Successor )

    I always check the Japanese Nintendo site for the stuff they add to their Club Nintendo and just general merchandise they make, because they always seem to make really cool or interesting things. Recently they added a bunch of stuff I figured some of you might like to see (these are from the merch side of the store rather then club Nitnendo but I figured they're just nice to see:

  20. General Retro Discussion

    I think some of you might like this, someone has made a website and a magazine that covers old video game magazines that a lot of us grew up reading: https://www.forgottenworlds.net/ one of the most recent articles is about Ngamer, which was the follow up to N64 magazine with an interview with the editor at the time. It's quite interesting hearing about being in games journalist during the height of the Wii and DS and also making a magazine as the internet side of game coverage becomes more established: https://www.forgottenworlds.net/ngamer-magazine
