By meppi64 Go To PostNot that I can think of. If anything, more people should buy Picross S. It's one of the most addictive puzzle series I've ever played in my 37 years of gaming. :)Oh definitely. I've been a huge fan since the DS version. I also love the 3D versions.

I never understood picross, is it like minesweeper or something?
Add me if you want. I'm still playing BOTW at the moment but I've got Mario Kart for multiplayer stuff. Will be playing Mario all weekend.

By meppi64 Go To PostNot that I can think of. If anything, more people should buy Picross S. It's one of the most addictive puzzle series I've ever played in my 37 years of gaming. :)Picross S is my first entry in the series. It's been really fun learning the logic of this game. It takes a little getting used to, but it is so satisfying when you figure out a puzzle.
By Rmagnus Go To PostI never understood picross, is it like minesweeper or something?I've never played Minesweeper, so I can't answer that. Picross requires thought/logic but not a lot of it. It's a really easy puzzle game that kinda soothes me before I fall asleep. The part I enjoy most about it is there's never any guesswork required. Every move can be calculated.
By Inflatablemidget Go To PostGetting my Switch this Friday along with some Eshop credit. Have my eye on Picross S, Minecraft, Stardew Valley, and Shovel Knight. Any reason I shouldn't get any of those games? Like performance problems etc.
Just FYI...if you get Stardew Valley then there's a good chance you wont be playing the rest of those games.
By Rmagnus Go To PostI never understood picross, is it like minesweeper or something?No, not really.
It's a logic based puzzle where you fill in squares or x them out according to the numbers around the puzzle.
It's a bit hard to explain in plain text, so I'll put this here instead.
It seems extremely simple at first and it actually is. At first... ;)
The thing is, the first couple of puzzles always are too easy to get new people accustomed with the basic rules.
So you need to play a couple of puzzles and move on to bigger and harder ones.
Something will click and before you know, you're hooked for life. :)
By Inflatablemidget Go To PostGetting my Switch this Friday along with some Eshop credit. Have my eye on Picross S, Minecraft, Stardew Valley, and Shovel Knight. Any reason I shouldn't get any of those games? Like performance problems etc.Stardew Valley apparently has some glitches that need to be sorted out. Personally I haven't encountered any but I haven't reached my first winter yet (supposedly that's when glitches potentially happen). Probably best to wait for them to patch the game.

i just bought Shovel Knight yesterday!!!! how could they do me like that
don't really regret buying for full price though, game's great so far and has like 3 campaigns with another (?) coming soon

Don't play the arcade in Stardew Valley. Not sure how common it is, but when playing an arcade game and trying to back out, it crashes the game.
By Rmagnus Go To PostHmm well what harm could one more switch game do? I will pick up picross s thanksHehe.
I doubt you'll be disappointed.
Let us know if you get as addicted as I am though, so you can join in and preach the good word of Picross to get others into our logic puzzel cult. ;)

Sorry double post
By Jtrov Go To PostSo hyped for The Mummy Demastered today. The perfect game to bridge this small gap to Odyssey. Anyone else excited for this? The music has absolutely sold me and the premise sounds absolutely awesome.It's extremely relevant to my interests, but I'm waiting for impressions (and more money in my wallet) first.

Saw ElectricBlanketFire post this on GAF. Not trying to bring the drama it was associated with, but thought it was worth a looks here. Speculate away!:
"I've left clues to new game announcements for years #1
I'd say things like "I bet we get *insert game here* in threads just prior to announcements. Since I probably won't be around much longer, might as well give whatever knowledge/hints I have left:
-A sequel to a 3DS game is coming to Switch. Remember what was said about new character inclusion for Smash.
-Netflix (but not Hulu) are coming Q1. Announcement will be tied with a Netflix-produced show.
-Themes will arrive with a Dec. 25 update. Free if you own the game or amiibo.
-Metroid Prime 4 will have a subtitle that people know, Q4 at the earliest. First footage in January Direct.
-Little Mac was almost in ARMS. There's a reason he's not.
-A new spinoff is coming exclusively to the eShop using assets from a game already released
That's all I've got."

By Alexhex Go To PostI'm so on the fence about Xenoblade 2. I love soaking in a big jrpg but all the stars have to align for me to truly dig them. I like FFXV okay but there were so many weird little things going against it for me. I hate to be stingy with what games I grab because I'm always willing to give something a chance, and I'm not NOT feeling it but I'm not REALLY feeling it, so to speak. Is Xenoblade Chronicles the sort of game where the marketing doesn't really do it justice but once you're in the game for a while it'll click?When I first got Xenoblade Chronicles on the Wii I wasn't sure what I was getting into, but that game is beautiful. The sense of scale and scope on the Wii was amazing at the time. Plus, I really believe BotW was influenced by it in some ways, specifically 'if you see it, you can go there'. The original Xenoblade Chronicles was very much that and the sequel looks to be the same.
I can't really compare it to FFXV since I've never played it, but the battle system was really fun in Xenoblade Chronicles. Basing your attacks on position and arts (attack types basically) were great. For example, positioning yourself on the side of an enemy and using an attack that's more effective when hitting them on their side.
Plus, the story was really fantastic and one of the main draws for me. The story never felt predictable, had some great twists and character development. Also there was TONS to do in the game and it wasn't really required unless you really wanted to do them and see more of the world.
So essentially three big things stuck out to me - scope/scale, battle system & great story/character development.
I'm hoping for much of the same with the sequel, and Xenoblade Chronicles 2 seems to have a really interesting battle system.

The sequel to a 3DS game hint has me excited/curious. Some people are speculating it could be Kid Icarus? I'd be ok with that. I enjoyed the 3DS and having a sequel with better controls would be ace.
Footage of Metroid in January is also something to look forward to!

New Punch Out maybe? I'd love a new entry in the series if that's what this tease means.
sequel to the 3ds game makes me think its either kid icarus or rhythm heaven, remenber the chorus kids were always said to be newcomers for smash 4
I didn't know ElectricBlanketFire was an insider. Did he/she ever provide any verifiable inside information in the past?
Not to say anything on that list looks outlandish, but it might just be a trollish account suicide.

I've actually watched a lot of cutscenes from the first Chronicles lol, the story was definitely compelling and that's gonna be a big part of any jrpg. I was worried 2's sory was gonna be this sort of afterthought/rush job type thing, don't know why, but if fans of the first one don't get that vibe then I'm down. The combat system does make it look like it'd be a lot of fun to just grind out on a bunch of animals in a big world, which I like.

I put in over 30 hours into that game. At $10, that was an absolute steal. Great puzzle game. Also a perfect game to show off using the Joycons as two separate controllers for multiplayer.
