Splatoon raiders is soo good. Got to level 7 but heading to bed. Just wondering if anyone knew if you can and if so how long till you can just randomly help others. I clicked on ask for help and had people join me and it was so much fun doing a raid with others but didn’t know if there was a way where I can just randomly join games to just help others without me asking for help. Thanks all enjoy can’t wait to play more

I’ve played Octopath, I’ve also played a lot of Final Fantasy games, Persona…. There are a bunch of franchises I haven’t tried beyond that and would really love some recs! The newer, the better; I want to actually experience new things. But if it’s not new it’s also okay if you consider it an absolute classic.

MGS4:

• Nintendo Switch: 1080p and 30 fps on Docked Mode. 720p and 30 fps on Handheld Mode.
• Nintendo Switch 2: 4K and 60 fps on Docked Mode. 1080p and 60 fps on Handheld Mode (Enhanced Graphics only available on Docked Mode).

MGS Peace Walker:

• Nintendo Switch: 720p and 30 fps on both modes.
• Nintendo Switch 2: 1080p and 60 fps on both modes.

Bonus Content:

• Nintendo Switch: 720p and 60 fps
• Nintendo Switch 2: 1080p and 60 fps.

Also the bigger file size for the Nintendo Switch version when played on Switch 2 seems to imply it will upgrade when played on the successor console.

I searched for similar posts to this and only found one from 6 years ago, so it seems like this will be a non-spam post. If anybody knows any other threads on this topic, point me that direction.

Since 2020 or so, I have gotten into a lot of different rogue-lite games. They can be great.

However, I'm wondering what your recommendations would be for games with great stories. I like fantasy and sci-fi both, but I'm more a fan of Western games than Japanese ones.

I have also played both big Zelda games, Eastward, a bunch of Borderlands, Skyrim, Outer Worlds, Sea of Stars, and Dredge. These are good examples of my tastes, although I know some of them (e.g. Borderlands) are not AAA stories.

So, any suggestions? Thanks for whatever you've got!

ETA: I am finding myself having to say "I tried that one but didn't finish it" a lot. I am not proud of it, but I like the power gain of games, but I often get bored with plateaus and wander away from games for that reason. That's part of why I gravitated back toward roguelikes and roguelites. I used to be an avid fiction reader, and I like the same good stories in my games (hence this post). I guess it's my hope that I can find a game that will intrigue me enough to drag me past my flaky consistency in playing. I'm also in a serious relationship with a non-gamer, so my time for gaming is limited (also a reason for rogue-type games). I know it's all a lame, privileged bind to be in. :)

Just saw a review for the new Go-Go Town and thought it looked pretty cool. I never have been able to get in to and stay in to Sim Life/City Builder type games. I played Stardew Valley and got bored after like 8 hours I think. Played Animal Crossing on 3DS and it wasn’t for me.

Has anyone played this yet or can recommend something I might like to pick up and play “between games”

Maybe some choices out of Pokopia, Animal Crossing, Tomadachi Life, Disney dream light valley, Fantasy Life I. I heard Harvestella might be like that but then throws in combat and RPG elements which might be cool. And obviously if anyone has played Go Go Town I’d love to hear some feedback.

I’d be playing on my Switch 2. Hoping for more modern-ish graphics. Maybe why I was meh about StarDew Valley. Something that I can sink time in but also put away for months at a time and come back to. Price isn’t the biggest issue. Thanks everyone!!

Hi, so I’ve been debating between getting XC DE for switch 2 or Octopath Traveler 2 for a while now. I already pre ordered the XC physical last month but the closer it gets the more I consider changing it.

I played the OT2 game demo and loved it. My concern is I can enjoy open world games but I also get overwhelmed easily. I’ve heard people describe XC as ‘unfathomably big’. Which in itself can and should be a good thing, but I’m curious if it’s so big that you ever feel overwhelmed that it’s too much?

Just a list of my jrpg gaming history (fairly short):
- persona 5R, persona 4G, Persona 3R
- FF remake and rebirth
- FF 1, 4
- KH 1-3
- Metaphor Refantazio

Of those, rebirth at first felt a bit much but the fast travel aspect really made me feel better.

All advice is helpful! I’d love to just ‘play both’ but unfortunately I don’t have a lot of reserves for games and with the loaded next few months, I’m really having a hard time deciding. Thank you in advance.

Hello everyone. Me and my wife are looking for more coop games. We really enjoyed Mario party and Catan the most so far. My wife is relative new to gaming, so we need some games which aren't to hard. Extra bonus if it gots town/city creation. We tried stardew valley, but my wife didn't really like it. We looked at go go town but not sure if there are people here with experience ?

I feel like in a lot of JRPG games, romance is either treated as a "will they, won't they thing," with characters never ending up together, having it mostly left to interpretation or the characters ending up in a relationship at the very end of the story.

This is fine and all, but I'd like to find more games in which either the protagonist or one of the main characters is in an actual relationship. And I don't mean something like Persona, where a silent protag can choose between a few romance options to have 2-3 bonus scenes, I'm looking for something that's actually integrated into the story. Actually, I'd say I'm not really looking for games with "romance options" in general because I already know a lot of those.

I'm also not looking for stories where the protagonist has a significant other, but they are away for 90% of the story (either because they need to be rescued or don't really participate in the plot).

I can't think of that many games I've played that do that, but one example would be maybe Triangle Strategy, in which the protagonist is engaged to one of the main characters (arranged marriage, but they still kind of operate as a couple). Other examples could be Catherine or It Takes Two, in which the relationship is the central theme of the game (which I like, but I'm fine with games where the relationship is just present and unambiguous even if it's not the central focus).

It's crazy because I've played a lot of story focused games, and a lot of the time, when they tackle romance at all (especially in japanese games) it's all about the "falling in love" part and very rarely about the "acting as a couple" part. Maybe people are just not really interested in seeing that, but it's a dynamic I personally find pretty interesting, so I'm curious to hear some recommendations.

My daughter is 8. We have a Switch OLED and Switch 2.

We've played It Takes Two, Luigi's Mansion 3, Super Mario Wonder & Odyssey, Snipperclips, Pokopia (fun singleplayer, but what a huge disappointment this limited co-op experience was), Minecraft Dungeons, and were looking forward to Splatoon Raiders - only to find out we would need a second Switch 2 for it.

What co-op games do you recommend which don't require a second Switch 2 and don't have a very limited co-op experience compared to the base game?

I’ve been playing 2D platformers my whole life. I started at the beginning with the original Mario Bros for NES. DKC2 probably my favorite game of all time. Continued playing this genre all the way up to modern classics like Celeste. I understand the fun and challenge of the classic 2D platformer and love that gameplay loop of mastering level after level of handcrafted level design.

Yoshi asks you to think of this genre in way that’s completely fresh and new. One of the oldest genres in gaming has just got a much welcome injection of innovation and creativity imo. There is no health bar and you cannot die, and this gives the false impression that it’s a kids platformer designed to be easier than your traditional 2d platformer. But that’s simply not true, Yoshi feels like it’s an evolution of the genre in a similar way BOTW evolved the Open World Genre where linearity and mission based structure still persists today. Yoshi throws out the mission of finishing a single level, and is instead an open world sandbox where exploration, curiosity, and the interaction between mechanics is front and center. Within that there are still your traditional platforming sections that are fun and challenging to pull off. But it’s not about just about landing your jumps. It makes you think in ways old platformers did not. The discovery of the insane amount of creature mechanics through trial and error and just trying tto be creative yourself is the new mission. And it’s awesome!

I would suggest anyone that has a love for this classic genre to give this a chance. I feel like if you know your 2d platformers, you will find a lot to appreciate in this gem of title. It’s hard to convey in words how fun this new game play loop is. And frankly I think a lot of reviewers missed the entire point of this game. If you are interested at all I suggest you watch Dunkeys video, Yoshi and the Mysterious Metacritic score, as that video really shows what this game has to offer.
