Ike Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 I thought The Hokkaido Serial Murder Case: The Okhotsk Disappearance ~Memories in Ice, Tearful Figurine~ was some sort of Famicom Detective ripoff but it's the visual novel Yuji Horii wrote! I had no idea that was getting a remake let alone an English version. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty neat! Edited August 19 by Julius 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glen-i Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 I've been waiting bloody ages for Cassette Beasts to go on sale. So this is great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hero-of-Time Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 Cassette Beasts is the only one out of those that I'm interested in but I've heard it runs like garbage on the Switch and so will probably just give it a miss. Saying that, I haven't checked the state of it in a while and so it may have been improved since launch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess I'll be downloading them after all. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksnowman Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 There's good variety with these—I'm impressed it isn't just four Mario games. Looking at the Powerwash Simulator page, it has some pretty cool looking DLC. I'd just knocked a pair of games off the old backlog but whatever's next will have to be put on hold for a week now. 2 hours ago, Hero-of-Time said: @darksnowman I see each of these offer 100 platinum coins each just to load them up. Guess I'll be downloading them after all. Was just coming to say. Gonna give the Bakeru demo a go while they download. I'll even fire Enter the Gungeon back up for the 100. Cassette Beasts has received various updates, some of which were for performance. So it might be all right now. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loading is a tad long when it's loading up the overworld. Thankfully, not when exiting a battle. Other then that, it's solid. Can't notice much in the way of frame rate drops.

darksnowman Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 PowerWash Simulator is an instant guilty pleasure. Why did I jump on top of that blue van and hose it until it came up gleaming? What compelled me to start straight into the boggin backyard? Don't know but I'll be back at it. With all the DLC it has (some free!), it's ripe for a Splatoon crossover for you to go in and hose down stages between Turf Wars face-offs. 17 hours ago, Glen-i said: Loading is a tad long when it's loading up the overworld.

Makes me think they have some sort of idea about optimisation. A game would have to be in a sorry state before I pipe up about frame rate and that kind of performance issue. Load times, I think a lot of games could do better with so I hope it doesn't break the gameplay up too much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the heads-up on some of the DLC being free, I went through the Final Fantasy 7 DLC today which was nice. It's a weirdly relaxing experience to play this game, especially while listening to a podcast or something. I'll buy the full game before the sale ends 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll buy the full game before the sale ends Agree with you about it being strangely relaxing. It was a game I thought I'd put on for less than a minute and be done with but that wasn't the case as I went through some of the career mode. I like how you can check your progress with each individual object/ part to be cleaned. When I realised it's generous enough about counting something as done (thought you'd have to pixel-hunt the last specks of dirt), it became quite soothing to go back to during the trial period. Won't be buying it right away, but it's definitely one I'll keep in mind whereas without the trial I would never have considered it. I was excited to do the Santa's Workshop DLC stage. Then when I pressed right on the d-pad to highlight everything to be cleaned and the entire screen lit up... Very much something to zone out with over a number of sessions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
