StarTopic Nintendo General Discussion |ST Oct. 2021|

[WestEgg]

Alright folks, let’s not get at each other’s throats over this. The internet is already dragging Kotaku over the coals for this one anyway. We don’t need it to keep dominating this thread, especially when it’s getting a bit personal. We’ve also already closed one thread on this article today, we didn’t need to keep it going over here.

Messing around with some ideas for the eShop ST banner, what do y'all think of this proof of concept? Designed it around the Switch home menu.

This looks great!

Anyone hyped for Disco Elysium this Tuesday?

Whoa - that's this Tuesday? Can't wait.

I've wanted to play it for months, but was holding out for the portable experience.

I keep hearing great things about the game and still have no idea what it’s about.

 

[Lovely Lily Bones]

Oh I'm very excited for Disco Elysium. Waiting for reviews before I decide which console to get it on, but glad that it's on Switch anyway.

It's an RPG with no combat, the skills you level up and the dialog choices determine the resolution of certain encounters.

I've not decided on playing it yet, but I'll check it out on Switch perhaps.

It's been on my list to check out for ages, but I don't know when I'll get around to it. One of these days!

 

[chocolate_supra]

Was this the ST's first Serious Discussion? Awww, I'm sorry I missed it due to spending the day with Samus and then Bond.

Actually I'm not sorry, I would've had nothing of substance to contribute (unless you consider sass "substance").

 

[Skittzo]

Anyone hyped for Disco Elysium this Tuesday?

Had no idea it was out so soon. I'll probably pick it up at some point soon, gonna wait on impressions of the port.

 

[Yzz]

Hoping that I like Disco Elysium with a controller.

 

[Lovecatt]

I totally forgot about Disco Elysium

I thought I wouldn't have time for it since it was so close to Dread but I binged that game in like a day so I'll definitely pick it up

 

[Mr.Adele]

I have an announcement to make:

If anyone wants to gift me a digital copy of Metroid Dread, I’m accepting it

 

[Rowsdower]

Wow, totally forgot about Disco Elysium this week. I’ll wait for reviews to point me in the right direction for which console to get it on, Switch or Series X.

a small sample of my handheld collection gonna make a topic soon

Need to get myself a device that can play GBA games lol. Have my chain of Memories copy but nothing to play it with

 

[Brawlz]

Nothing like playing some card games and then wanting those said card games on Switch for even more card game action

Ah, the old videogame bin. I know it well. Once cutting edge technology for their times and thing you proudly displayed on your shelves, they all eventually end up in a bin to be tucked away in a closet indefinitely.

 

[Dmax3901]

Disco Elysium is far and away the best-written game I've ever played.

That's this Tuesday? God damn I really don't have enough time

So… are we thinking Dread GOTY nom at TGA?

Imo they can’t ignore it despite it being 2D and not next gen

I fully expect them to ignore it.

They ignored Fire Emblem Three Houses after it was one of the highest rated game of the years so nothing is for sure.

 

[asagami_]

I would like get the Pocket from the Analogue people, but it's out of stock right now :/

 

[Red Monster]

I got a buddy of mine to play Super Metroid and give the series a try. I’m evangelizing for Metroid!

 

[storres]

Metroid Dread is a bit too hard for my liking, but I'm always coming back to it. Great game!

 

[SammyJ9]

It MIGHT have a shot since Metroid is so well-liked among the more hardcore/usual TGA crowd. Plus it does seem like there's not a ton of overwhelmingly obvious choices for nominations this year, so it's in a good spot.

I just fought the hardest enemy in Metroid Dread up to this point, and it wasn't even a boss lol.

oh, neat!

Oh yeah? Not even a miniboss? There are a fair few bosses that don't have the boss door intro and cutscene and all that, there's one of those in particular fairly late in the game that was very rough

I think it's cute!

Just want to say thanks in advance for making that thread, it was easily my favorite topic over at the other place.

 

[storres]

Man, Dread really brought a lot of trolls out of the woods, huh? Twitter is on fire lol

Does trash-talking Twitter and touting Famiboards' superiority count as "console warring?" Cuz I'll do it.

Let's get a mod in here lol

So, do we think NSO for this week when there's the Animal Crossing Direct or will Ninty save it for another time?

Guessing AC direct this week and N64 NSO the week after.

 

[1upmuffin]

Anyone else playing this new Metroid? It's really good. Very polished.

Best wishes,

first Robot Chozo Soldier. I just found a second one now and am fighting it. Crazy.

[Brofield]

I think I ended up playing Wario Ware for less than an hour :/

So I just finished the story mode of WarioWare, and...yeah, I kinda regret buying this game at full price. At least it's physical so I can theoretically resell it, but dang I wish I waited and got Metroid instead.

Eyy, happy turkey day Derachi! I am absolutely full on four plates of my Oma's cooking (schnitzel, coleslaw, spaetzle, veggies and more), and like two slices each of her homemade apple cake and black forest cake. Hell it's a miracle I'm even awake and not in a food coma right now lol

Those are hard until you get a certain missile upgrade, so do your best until then and remember to dash above them to avoid attacks.

Hell yeah!! My mom in law made us a big turkey dinner with some pumpkin cheese cake for dessert? It was innnnncredible. Glad to hear you are as equally stuffed as I am!!

I actually found the solo fights to be incredibly easy. Then they threw two at me at once.

Then you lock on them with a few missiles and they die fast

Easier said than done. Those things were flying all over the place and I couldn't focus on both at once.

Focus on destroying one first and then the other, it's the only way, otherwise you'd spread thin.
