Voxelgram is 50% off, at 3.5 bucks. It is a very cute Picross 3D clone, although it obviously lacks the joyful control scheme of the DS iterations.

I’m increasingly stupified by the lack of depth of these 1st party Nintendo sports games. Especially when compared to the likes of Retro Bowl, Golf Story, Super Mega Baseball, etc.

They could all be so much more.

You could argue it’s easier to have depth when you don’t have your game to be multiplayer!

When playing with a friend or my family, I remember having a good time with something as silly as one of those MLB sluggers toy thing. And for hours.

As long as you didn’t pay $60 for it. šŸ™‚

But still, they should have tons more variety even if it were billed as a strictly multiplayer game, imo.

Can we use the 100 emoji? Because 100 emoji.

What an honestly brilliantly designed game that was.

NFS Hot Pursuit at an historic low y’all.

Cool, I don’t believe I have a racing game for the Switch.

Sir. Sir. Have you heard the good word of Bloody Rally Show?

Kind of tempted by this, even though it didn’t get much positive word of mouth here. $45 for the digital edition.

Maybe the secret is to buy one of these accessories at Amazon with it, so you can swing your controller like a golf club?

As a golf enthusiast, what I’ve seen of it didn’t appeal to me.
If you want ultimate motion based golf, Tiger Woods on the Wii, with the Wii Board and the Motion Plus, is where it’s at!

NFS or Burnout Paradise?

Burnout Paradise feels sad and somehow dead. It felt that way when I joined late the PC party, and it still does on the Switch. I don’t know what’s wrong with this game, but it’s wrong.

NFS I feel is a better, more focused experience. Burnout, sadly, relied too much on multiplayer for this iteration so it feels really lonely and, to me, boring. I’m also a bit biased as it’s my least-favorite Burnout game.

Oh that’d explain some of the things. It’s really a strange game, compared to the wacky previous ones.

Yeah it was made at a time when AAA devs were like ā€œOPEN WORLD AND MULTIPLAYER LIVE SERVICES ARE THE FUTURE OF EVERYTHINGā€.

I can’t comment on the accessories, but I think it’s perfectly fine if you’re looking for a three-button—press to start swing, to set power, and to set accuracy—golf game to chill with in handheld mode or to play with others locally. The AI is really bad, the new game mode (bullet golf or whatever it’s called) isn’t very fun, and the single-player campaign is probably not worth your time, unless you have no idea how golf works or really like tertiary Nintendo characters.

So, it only works to score chase yourself while half-watching television or to play with other people locally. Though, I’ve really enjoyed it when I get to play it multiplayer.

It is amazing how much a good controller can make a difference. As much as I loved the N64 controller back in the day, playing Mario 64 and Mario Galaxy using the Pro Controller makes those games so much better. I kind of instinctively knew that would be the case for Galaxy because I was constantly frustrated by the wiimote, but I loved everything about the N64 controller, but even Mario 64 benefits greatly from a better controller anyway.

Though I will say you’d have to tear my Gamecube-style wired Switch controller from my cold, dead hands when it comes to Smash. Apart from that, Pro Controller all day, erryday

Shit, you will need to do that with my collection of wired actual Gamecube controllers.
