I can't imagine I'll get too much use out of it because of the Switch's poor WiFi but it's nice to finally have the option to watch Nintendo directs on the Switch Nice. I thought the rumour for the app to be released today wasn't gonna come true. Time to fire it up and give it a whirl.
Ronnie Posted November 8, 2018 Posted November 8, 2018 Seems pretty slick so far. Nice UI and 60fps playback if available. And you can do those 360 degree videos apparently
Hero-of-Time Posted November 8, 2018 Posted November 8, 2018 Yeah, works great. Nice and quick and it looks great on the screen.
Mandalore Posted November 8, 2018 Posted November 8, 2018 Is it possible to upload gameplay clips to it? It'd make saving video clips much more appealing, I've got no interest in uploading anything to Twitter or Facebook.

Sadly not, thats a feature I was hoping would be in there but it doesn't allow you to upload anything. It seems like a straight port of the TV app, looks the same and seems to have the same features, so I don't think they've customised it for Switch at all. Hopefully they add upload functionality in a future update.
Dcubed Posted November 9, 2018 Posted November 9, 2018 (edited) Yeah, it's just the bog-standard TV app. There's no Switch specific features at all. Would've been good if they had it switch to the mobile Youtube app when playing in handheld mode; no touchscreen support is terrible! Edited November 9, 2018 by Dcubed
Grazza Posted November 13, 2018 Posted November 13, 2018 Just a heads-up - I noticed there is now a demo for 99 Vidas, which also has a pre-order discount.

Grazza Posted November 29, 2018 Posted November 29, 2018 I played R-Type last night, but it's much more difficult than my vague memory of it, with as many environmental hazards as enemies. Is anyone here good at it? I just don't see how it can be mastered.

I'm just not a fan of these visuals... think I'd rather dig out an SP and stick R-Type DX in Edit: oooh, the game does have classic visuals though... and it's kinda perfect for Switch.....
Dog-amoto Posted November 30, 2018 Posted November 30, 2018 Guacamelee! 2 launches on 10th December with a 30% discount if you bought the first one. http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2018/11/guacamelee_2_arrives_on_switch_in_december_owners_of_the_first_game_get_30_percent_off 1
MindFreak Posted November 30, 2018 Posted November 30, 2018 Great game to buy for my Christmas holiday.

I don't know, I never really played it much even back in the '80s - I was just aware that it was one of the "big" games. The coin-ops I actually did play back then - Double Dragon, Bad Dudes - are as I remember them; I'm just amazed at how difficult R-Type is!
Hero-of-Time Posted December 4, 2018 Posted December 4, 2018 It seems like there are a few high profile games hitting the eShop this month. GRIS Katamari Damacy Reroll ( confirmed as digital only over here in the EU) Monster Boy ( again, digital only over here ) Battle Princess Madelyn Guacamelee! 2 December is supposed to be a quiet month for games! 4

And they’re all likely to die a horrible death. Going up against Smash Bros. Ultimate is surely going to wreck the sales of these games. Altough I guess they’ll pick up in the new year. I certainly intend on checking out Katamari and Guacamelee 2 at some point.
Ronnie Posted December 4, 2018 Posted December 4, 2018 GRIS, Monster Boy and of course Guacamelee 2 for me... in January... after I've gotten round to the Messenger... and Abzu, and Bomb Chicken, and Hyper Light Drifter, ... oh and Smash. 2
Sméagol Posted December 4, 2018 Posted December 4, 2018 I'm waiting for physical for Messenger. Gris is day 1, no Smash is getting in the way of that. Monster Boy.. seems expensive compared to Wonder Boy? Does the game have that much content? I probably will buy Abzu, haven't done so yet because I'm playing other games. No interest in Guacamelee. Did have interest in Princess Madelyn, but that may be the one who will have to wait. other than that, Smash and Fitness Boxing, maybe something from my backlog for Christmas, though I was also considering a Raspberry pi. Maybe I'll buy a few backlog items myself. Oh and still need to import Mega Man.

But regardless, going over the trailer again, it does look more ambitious. And the anime cutscenes must be expensive.

Yeah but that's what Wonder Boy already did, so that in itself doesn't make it standout from that. In fact, the game initially used retro sprites. But the backgrounds are more elaborate and it does seem to have more content.
