StarTopic Nintendo General Discussion |ST7 Apr. 2022| Launch Timing Update For ST7 Sequel

[N75]

Yeah, even ignoring that Brain Training didn't release in NA, Brain vs Brain has been outpacing it in other territories.

It was a million seller worldwide in just a month.

 

[Magic-Man]

I expected Big Brain to do well, but beating Forza Horizon and Grand Theft freaking Auto is no small feat. I wonder how high the ceiling is? 5 million might be too high, but maybe 4?

 

[MissingNo.]

 

[Dardan Sandiego]

I'll celebrate this by booting up the Nintendo Switch Online Super Nintendo app on my Nintendo Switch hybrid gaming system and play my favourite Super Nintendo game Super Mario RPG- oh

Spoiler

I actually don't care for the game that much, besides the soundtrack

 

[MisterSpo]

Boreal Tenebrae, an indie horror adventure game with PS1 style visuals, is just £1.79 at launch. I'd been keeping an eye on it because it seemed promising, so the large discount for the first month (£5.99 full price) makes it very tempting, even without many write ups on the game.

 

[Dardan Sandiego]

I need music to work/write to

so

name your more or less obscure gaming/movie/anime soundtracks

 

[Legion of Primes]

Don't watch the new Sonic movie, then

I still need to see the first lol

 

[Imitatio]

Big Brain Academy selling well?
More like Galaxy Brain Academy, amirite, folks?? * wink wink *

Play Super Metroid instead and earn yourself a cool 50 Platinum Points

 

[famicorpse]

Use the pad controls for most gameplay and motion controls for boss fights. That's the way to roll

Thanks, I'll give it a try tonight and see if I can get into it.

Don't know if that'd qualify as "obscure" but I often listen to the Trauma Team OST while working so it might work for you

 

[MisterSpo]

Maybe we'll see Nintendo do some region specific DLC:

BRIT BRAIN ACADEMY

Huff tea, complain about the weather, slavishly follow the activities of an unelected head of state, alienate your neighbours, deny the horrors of empire and carefully place beans on toast in this set of new activities for Big Brain Academy.

Quest for Glory 4: Shadows of Darkness for that 90s era gothic rock beat we all crave



Personal favorite:

 

[MisterSpo]

The Brit is at it again!

laughs in British English

 

[Kasur1309]

Life is really exhausting right now and I finished Elden Ring two weeks ago and really miss the distraction.

I look for a game with gameplay focus (bit of story is ok but not to much cutscenes and dialogue). Could be an action rpg or Zelda like or metroidvania/souls like.

Do you guys have any hidden gems in switch in mind that fit this discription?

I for example loved hollow Knight, monster hunter rise, dark Souls and many more.

Some games on my list right now are:

-Eldest Souls
-Unsighted
-Children of Morta (because its on sale)
-Morbid: The Seven Acolytes (also because of the sale)

 

[Baobab]

Oh no!
This holidays we must get the new Donkey Kong game, it´s his last chance!





i know........ i know that our present donkey kong is not the original Jump-man kong....i just want a new game after Donkey kong Tropical Freeze .....

 

[Mbolibombo]

that was amazing?
I did not expect that

thanks

Both of these go hard. How have I never heard of Grounseed?? Also, where are full remakes of Quest for Glory 1-5?

 

[Skittzo]

Ask Microsoft now.

 

[ITSMILNER]

Does Nintendo usually have sales on the eshop for Easter? I can’t remember if they have ever had one but I’m hoping they will

 

[shoptroll]

Might I suggest







And while I wouldn't call SimCity "obscure" the OSTs rarely ever come up in discussion despite Maxis turning out some solid origina; work while Jerry Martin was at the helm of their music department:

Quest for Glory 4: Shadows of Darkness for that 90s era gothic rock beat we all crave



Personal favorite:

Sierra soundtracks are legit good and super underappreciated considering PC sound cards were just starting to come onto the market at the time the SCI engine in development. If you can find recordings from the MT-32 synthisizer they're significantly better than the general MIDI versions.

 

[Mr Doggo]

Oh no!

Excellent. Thats what he deserves for making Retro Studios do his games

Just got a mail from Nintendo asking me whether I wanted a refund because they removed soccer and replaced it with football

[shoptroll]

You know what? I’m a-ok with nothing major releasing in May. I’m still working on Kirby, I need to go back to the MK8 DLC, then finish up Octopath’s post-game, then finish up Bloodstained, then pick Neo TWEWY back up.

Then and only then can I really think of picking something up something else from the backlog.

Oh right Switch Sports in 3 weeks

me rn

I aim to please

 

[Suswave]

what the hell

They had a "Spring sale" two years ago iirc but I don't think they do an Easter sale like they do during the holidays

[Suswave]

outing myself as a rian/nathan johnson fanboy for not finding this very obscure

look

I can spend all day tearing (most of) his movies apart for weak tropes, inherent manic pixie bullshit, and bad takeaways

but also I absolutely love his fucking execution and sense of filmmaking (and Nathan’s fucking musical range) to the point that some of those movies have a real place in my heart despite that

though personally I think Knives Out only slapped so thank the abyss for that one

Getter Robo Daikessen has a legit jazzy/rock soundtrack for an obscure PS1 Japan only srpg licensed game with all original music(it also included every piece of getter material to that point and created a few new things that pop up to this day in Super Robot Wars)
Here’s a playlist of the full OST
Especially the full opening and ending themes

 

[Brofield]

Less than 24 hours until that Indie Direct is announced

 

[Tye]

Impressive collection! I'm still buying the Smash and Zelda amiibo when ever they release..

I have them all but one - Corrin Player 2 - so I'm probably never going to get that collection complete as I dont want to pay the outrageous amount of money it takes to get :<

Thanks! And aww, that sucks. Yeah, the Amazon exclusives were the worst to get and if you missed them they go for ridiculous prices from resellers, especially Corrin - Player 2… =/

 

[Josh5890]

This is the week we finally get Mario Party Superstars DLC!

 

[chocolate_supra]

Here's something to listen to:

deru deru deru deru tsui ni deru!
(unless we're talking about BotW2, in which case... )

Holy shit Fami, it's HERE!

Was pretty down when I woke up this morning but this totally made my day <3

Same here. I'm happy to support Vanillaware with another purchase here. It's a special game, and I want to do my part to send the message that we want more of their work on Switch in the future.

I already tried the Japanese demo a month or two ago, and I was pleased with the quality of the port. It looks especially great on my Switch OLED.
