Nintendo finally reveals the Switch console

Disgaea 5 is the friendliest, easiest Disgaea, yet. It has a myriad of friendly options compared to the other titles - for example, you can undo movement orders until you hit End Turn. You can move while your characters are in a tower (they stack up vertically to form a mega unit hehe). If you die you can retry - in previous games you died and had to load a previous game. If you forgot to save you were screwed.

I’m having a lot of fun with Vostok Inc.:

It’s a two-stick shooter like Geometry Wars paired with RPG-ish progression based on top of a “Paperclips” or “Cookie Clicker” style game.

Really fun mechanics!

That sounds pretty interesting. Thanks for the mention.

I was sold until I got to “cookie clicker”. I never understood that genre. Don’t you just, like, click something a bunch of times, the end? Is there more to it? I don’t know.

Speaking of twin-stick shooters, I’d love a twin-stick Drox Operative style game.

It’s not actually a clicker. But the mechanic revolves around shooting stuff to get money to buy more stuff to make numbers go up faster to buy better weapons to destroy more stuff to get more money to buy more stuff and…

But no actual clicking like those clicker games!

🤔 okay, good enough. Sold.

I order one for the kids for Christmas today. Mario Kart and Mario Odyssey, extra controller, mem card, carrying case and screen protector and all of a sudden I’m $650 in. Hope they didn’t want anything else for Christmas this year lol.

I can build a mine on the surface of Jupiter in order to “dig deep underground and extract riches.” Jupiter.

I’ll just file this away in the part of my brain that accepts faster-than-light travel in science fiction media.

I’m now well on my way to achieving victory in this game.

Oh yeah, I was surprised how much I liked that when I played it on the PS4. Picked it up based on a stream from @tomchick actually!

Is it pure coincidence that PFX3 and Stern came out on the same day?

Christmas sale on the eShop. About 60 games discounted here!

Hmm… looks like maybe 30 discounted here. The only title that stands out (which I own already) is Steamworld Dig 2.

I’m only seeing 24, at least as listed here: https://www.nintendo.com/games/game-guide?pv=true#filter/switch|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|true|-|-|-|-|featured|des|-|-

Any recommendations besides Steamworld Dog 2 and Golf Story?

From the Web list, I also recall hearing good things about Overcooked, Shantae, and The Mummy Demastered. Golf Story’s not there, though it’s one that I was looking for. Is it showing up on the system itself?

Sorry, I only listed it because those are the two games own besides Mario.

Anyone played Lucanor?

Okay, I bought a Switch for my daughter (in college) for Christmas.
Can I get a list of your must-have accessories?

For me … SD Card, carry case, pro controller.

Some people will tell you you need a screen protector … but they must have kids or something, mine’s fine without.

Do you take the system in and out of the dock regularly? I do. And the fit is relatively close. Despite being careful, I was seeing little marks on the screen. Not permanent, but I got a protector just in case.
