Oh wow. That's pretty cool. I could notice a subtle difference between the 2. If they couldn't upres the currently library, it wouldn't be a deal-breaker. Kind of what the PS4 Pro did with the standard PS4s, even though I didn't upgrade my standard PS4 when the Pro came out, but then again, I didn't have a 4k TV that could have fully taken advantage of the Pro's capabilities either. But now that I do...

Sadly no. I've got RetroPi that I could emulate it on though...so if anything I'd go that route. Super Metroid is definitely considered one of the all-time greats and would be thrilled to have a similar experience again. I would probably get a remastered version of it.

LOVE Hollow Knight! My only gripe with Metroidvania games though is that I tend to put them down, then forget what I have to do next after picking them up again some months (even years) later.

They need to put in some "previously on..." feature in games that will give you a quick reminder of what has happened, a quick tutorial, and what you need to do next to get going again. I've done this on so many games....

They’re still great. As much as I loved NES Metroid as a kid, I’d rather play Zero Mission. It looks like Super Metroid & has maps! I never played thru Metroid 2 on GB, as monochrome just seemed too limiting for such an epic. Samus Returns is an excellent way to play it. Plus, it has totally new aiming & parry mechanics, great use of 2nd screen/touchscreen, amazing music, and it’s in gaddamn 3D!!!!

Absolutely. Thankfully I was able to figure out what I needed to do in Samus Returns even though I haven’t played it in 3+ years. Hollow Knight though? I’m screwed if I ever try to go back and finish it lol

Check em out on your RetroPi! If you loved Super, you’ll totally love Zero Mission & Fusion.

Here's hoping that whatever "Switch Pro" model that comes out eliminates the lag when playing on an external display. Current model seems to be not much more than a tablet with gaming controls, without much optimization. When you grew up on CRTs and currently play most games with gsync, Switch lag is pretty annoying.

Crusin blast trailer now on you tube. Looks good, bigger game than the arcade version

Make sure your display has low lag or has a game mode. Turn off post-processing like smooth-o-vision, adaptive contrast, etc.

Switch doesn’t have any lag inherent to the system. I’ve played precision games like Celeste & other platformers on my display without any discernible lag.

I don't notice any real lag either. I played a ton of Hades and Dead Cells that require some twitchy reflexes and haven't noticed anything.

Great...2 more Metroidvania games (except actually Metroid this time!) for me to start, put down, then never pick up again lol. I will certainly check them out though.

I think the thing that got me the most excited was the 3 Cave shooters coming. Mushihimesama is up on the eshop now.
This was in the Japanese direct, but game is out here.

Love warioware, not sure how I feel about the gameplay in this one but I’ll still get it like every other Wario game.

Haven't heard of this, but it looks like a bullet-hell SCHMUP from a quick google search. What makes this game different/special/fun from others?

I’ve had some issues with Portal Knights when playing with my daughter. It’s so laggy that it’s almost unplayable. Maybe because it’s two player. Anyway that’s the only game I’ve had issues with.

LG CX in game mode. Switch doesn't do gsync so I can forgive that, but yes there is definitely extra lag beyond no gsync. I can play Cave Story+ on a DSi and then on my Switch connected to TV and the difference between the two is plain as day. Mario Odyssey I actually stopped playing because the lag in the little side-view areas pissed me off. 3D action tends to hide the lag a little due to character acceleration, but 2D stuff shows it badly.

You're also the one who thinks an OSCC is comparable to a CRT, so yeah.. leave us lag-hating folks to our own. Yes I know how to setup a modern television

I wasn't surprised Nintendo didn't show anything at E3 about the rumored Switch Pro. It would of taken away from many of the great games they shown. They will likely show the reveal sometime in Q3/Q4 2021 with a release in early/mid Q2 2022. Along with the Switch Pro release we'll get BotW2 at launch the same day as the new console. Just like when the Switch was released the same day as BotW.

I hate lag, too. But cool story.

As much as I like schmups, they all tend to play the same after a while (which was why I asked). Aside from different visuals and different skins, they all tend to be pretty similar imo. For a quick arcade experience, they're great. I wonder if there is something that is deeper, with RPG elements. Gaining XP, which increases stats when you level up, having currency to buy different permanent upgrades. the linear aspect of schmups would be limiting, but that could be a cool and unique mechanic to breath some life into the genre.

One horizontal schmup that I really like is Progear by Capcom. Just a quick google search shows that CAVE was involved too Didn't know that.

Going back to Nintendo, I really enjoy UN Squadron on the SNES. I guess that style of gameplay matching up with a longer formatted shooter vs 1 shot kills.

Thanks for the recs! I'll check them out. I probably have them all loaded up already, just don't know it

just pre-ordered the Limited Run - Zombies Ate My Neighbors & Ghoul Patrol

Man I was really looking forward to Mario Golf, but the reviews are not good. That franchise has really fallen. I think I will give the GBA version a play it was a masterpiece.

I forgot about Tony Hawk coming out on the Switch. Definitely buying that tomorrow!

Me too, I'll pick that up instead!

yeah surprised at the mario golf reviews, looked like it was gonna be a winner

I mean, it's golf, the most boring sport of all time. I'm shocked they still make video games of it. As much as I love Mario, I don't think I've ever bought a Mario sports title. Easy pass.

You are missing out if you don't try Golf Story. Great game and pretty cheap.

Not an RPG fan...2 strikes on that one lol

Thinning the herd if anyones looking for some switch games. NIB = sealed new in box, CIB = complete in box but opened. About 150 games

Nothing fancy but I’m excited to relive my ps1 days and my wife also remembers playing so it could be fun 2player.

Didn’t see Mario golf at bb :/ but I’ll probably get it soon ish

wow your best buy still shows the games... mine just has photos of them and not the back so you cant even really browse and make an impulse buy

Oh, weird, I do live in a random small town. I bet BB’s in the two cities do what yours do. I guess all that locks that case is a magnet?

I'm pretty excited about losing more hours to Advance Wars and the Mario v Rabbids follow up.

Did you beat the first Mario v rabbids?
I made it a few levels in but this made me wanna pick it back up!

I did! I even beat the DK DLC mode! …and I’ve never played more than 5 minutes of a strategy game - I usually hate ‘em! Mario Rabbids really hooked me after I picked it back up again. I had about 3 hours on it…but then gave it another go & it just became a great “dad game” for me. Knocked out a few stages here and there when baby was sleeping. Before long I had like 30 hrs on it & beat both stories! There are still extra challenges to play and more collectibles to find, but I’m pretty happy with getting bit endings!

Mario + Rabbids is in my top 3 Switch games. Absolutely loved it. Excited for the follow up.

Alright, gonna look into it. It wasn't even on my radar.

I like the idea of rpg's etc, but really never got into them. I've played FF1 and FF2 on my old iphone 3 when I had time, otherwise I like diablo style or boarderlands where you have some but its a very active non turn based style. However mario vs rabbids some how makes it fun and easy to play that type of game. Also lots of humor of course with the rabbids. Yeah, totally worth a play, wonder if there is a demo available?

Like @rarehero, I beat both the main and DK add-on. This is pretty amazing for someone who regularly leaves games unfinished. I particularly enjoy the turn based approach meaning if attention is directed elsewhere for a sec, it doesn't ruin a game.

I'll be playing it again from the start pretty soon in anticipation.

I'm pretty easily persuaded into buying more games

Ya!!!! Let us know how you like it

I know it will never happen, but I hold onto hope that somebody will bring Skies of Arcadia to a modern console such as the Switch. I loved the Dreamcast and that game was my favorite.

Both Ori games very pleasant diversions, but could be a bit challenging at times, that’s for sure.
