Nintendo Switch Thread (previously NX)

That guy on the left (Ian?) looks and sounds like he is in a significant amount of pain, seems grueling for him to do this podcast.

Hope he feels better soon somehow, that seems very rough whatever he is heating his stomach for.

Apparently, he had to go to many different doctors and specialists before he was properly diagnosed. He was in pain the entire time (4-6 months?).

I never heard of the condition before, but it was described as "nerves grow into your muscles" and the only "cure" is to wait until the nerves "work their way out" of the muscles (un-embed themselves).

Again, don't mistake my description for an authentic medical description...it was simply what I gleaned from the podcast.

What was the diagnosis exactly? I saw him a few years ago in a hallway at one of our game conventions we help run. I shoulda said Hi but didn't.

Abdominal wall nerve entrapment.

Gredler Binding of Isaac is a really fun game, played quite a bit on steam many years ago. Was thinking about getting it for either 3DS or Vita, so I'm wondering how the Switch version compares as a handheld port. Great game for quick bursts of action and a really fun and great atmosphere.

My son has this on PC, but decided to get the Switch version. He now prefers to play on the Switch and likes the controls better. Oddly enough, my wife likes to join in and play with him in the multi player mode.

I told my wife I was going to wait til probably end of the year to get one but bless her cotton socks she got me one for my birthday. Haven't got any games though. Don't know what to get. Nothing taking my fancy right now.

Zelda is amazing.

I already have it for Wii U and didn't want to double dip already.

[Lost Monkey]

Got it. I'll probably grab a switch when mario comes out.

After beating Zelda, what's next?

Do they have a Netflix app yet?  That's what we've used our Wii-U for in between major releases...

[Gredler]

No netflix on switch. I've loved the time I've spent with zelda, but I can play the same game only so much and I am definitely reaching the end of romance/obsession with that game.

I guess Binding of Isaac or Shovel Knight is what I have left to choose from.

Snipper Clippers is done too now, so another multiplayer game purchase is in my future - maybe it's time for Bomberman? I've seen some copies going for ~$30 I think ~$20 is what I am more comfortable paying for that game.

What about Blaster Master 0? I've heard nothing but good things. Lego City Undercover was great fun on WiiU, so if you haven't played that, it might be a good option.

Thanks for the suggestion - I do have Blaster Master 0 so yep that's my next playthrough, but Sarumaru and others have said it's just about 10 hours long, so I'll likely get through that quickly. I got stuck on the first boss, and think I need to backtrack and find something I missed?

Lego City Undercover looks cool - I just got that for my nephew for his birthday on wii u, but I think after Zelda I'm going to be set on open world exploration for a little bit.

I am Setsuna looks intriguing, I might pick that up. I wish there were a physical copy - I'd be more inclined to invest the $40 asking price.

I believe the JP version of I am Setsuna has the English text on it as well, so if import that you can still have a physical copy and play the game in English.

Awesome! I am going to Japan in mid may - I will look for a physical switch or vita version there!

I think I'm going to hold for puyo puyo Tetris. Looks decent.
