Lions017 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 What did you think of Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze? I had a lot of fun with it - it was hard in some spots for sure, but it took around 10 hours to finish. I'm also playing Mario + Rabbids now, which is an interesting strategy game.

Spartacus Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Anyone pick up the Pokémon yellow remake? Is it worth getting as an adult or did they make it too easy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it worth getting as an adult or did they make it too easy? I have it. I enjoyed it, but it is pretty easy. I don't think the difficulty is as much of a problem as people tried to make it out to be, though. I just left my passenger pokemon out of my lineup, didn't abuse the pc, and didn't farm xp from unnecessarily catching excess wild pokemon; I ended up with a good experience with it. I only did the co-op a little one night with my wife and a couple of drinks (she knows nothing about pokemon). That made the game very easy, but it was fun for a bit. If you co-oped the majority of the campaign, it would be incredibly easy to get through. Edited January 9, 2019 by jyod21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish their were difficulties to pick from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the rumor mill it's going to be a BOTW esque revitalization for Pokemon. I'm highly skeptical on that given they haven't changed the battle system since the original outside of spinoffs here and there. I'm hoping they change it up in major ways though, but it will more than likely just be along the lines Pokemon Sun&Moon upscaled for the switch, a mainline entry that introduces a new gen but it's still pokemon at it's core.

Where have you seen this? I don't want to get my hopes up because we've seen Pokemon lose it's glamour over the last 10 years, but this would instantly become one of my most anticipated games EVER Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulWall_23 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Brought my switch to our guys weekend at Wisconsin Dells. Basically a drinking fest for a couple days in a cabin. One of the mornings (still buzzed) four of us decided to play Mario Party. So many laughs and such a good time. The game doesn't have a ton of features but they really executed on the mini games, nostalgia and making the boards not overly complex.

Whenever I played I would just take my starter as pretty much my main/only pokemon and 1shot nearly everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lions017 Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Finished Mario + Rabbids, moved on to Wargroove. Strategy games are a good fit for the Switch. I like the old Advance Wars vibes that I'm getting from it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeT14 Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 I think I really want to get a Switch, but I am desperately waiting for a price drop (that I don't think is going to happen). I just can't justify spending the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was too slow on the draw. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't look like the price is that much less (GameStop only knocks $20 off the retail price for used ones ... yes I know GameStop sucks, but it at least gives you a market point). However:https://www.discountconsole.com/product-p/0012.htm (red/blue JoyCons)https://www.discountconsole.com/product-p/0013.htm (gray JoyCons) I know NOTHING about that website (there's only a single review on the red/blue one, but who knows if that is legit or not), but they are offering one a Switch for $234.99 (and free shipping). Caveat emptor really applies here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
