Just a friendly heads up (and apologies if this has been said already or these type of posts aren’t allowed)..

The Switch 2 Edition of TMNT: Splintered Fate is $29.99 on the eShop atm, however you can get the Gold edition of the Switch 1 version for $9.99 and the Switch 2 upgrade from there is only $2.50. Meaning you’ll get the game and all of its DLC at about 60% off.

I almost made the mistake of paying full price so I just wanted to let my fellow frugal gamers know!

I'm typing this from remembrance due to IRL stuff, but really wanted to type about my experience playing the game as a first-time owner going in blind.

I'm going straight into it, Three Houses is amazing. On Nintendo console side, I only owned a GameCube to play Sonic Adventure 2, and Super Mario 3d world for the Wii U (along with COD bo2). But, my friend introduced me to the FE series about a few years ago back in 2022 (yet I still never watched gameplay of FE before owning a S2) through FE Engage's OST, and I am still in love with it. So, anyways. I finally bought a Switch 2 a month or so a g (it was before March), and the first thing I bought when I saw it at my local game store was FE Three House's.

I didn't know anything about FE Three Houses, I went in blind (I was larping for years through OSTs), and playing it for the first time had me so confused cause I didn't know how Tactical turned-based games worked (was really acting slow. I'm used to turned-based games like SMTV but not tactical), so I stop playing it for a couple weeks before trying it again on a new save (because I forgot) and suddenly locked in on the mechanics and how the gameplay worked through watching videos on what to do. Let me tell you, two weeks flew by and I already locked in about 35 hours (whenever I get time to play) and the story was absolutely amazing. I was missing out on peak. The story feels like a "make your own choices" despite still having a storyline, and my favorite character is Bernadetta. I made her into a sub-dps/main dps when she's really needed. I really like Bernadetta's interactions with the other characters, it's cute and funny.

Gameplay after I figured out how to play felt like a breeze, I weirdly feel like a teacher because I'm also trying to think if I should have them switch over class to get them better as a lancer or axe-wielder. Story (sorry for bringing it up again) is just amazing. The one thing I'd probably say in my opinion that was a bit weak was Byleth's father death, but it still pissed me off and I wanted revenge regardless. I also love the side quests, too. I'm trying to do as much as I can with the side stories so I can get more lore and story out of the game. From what I can remember, I like Tales of the Red Canyon side quest because we get to speak with Sothis on trying to learn or regain her memories.

I'm not yet done with the game, I've just reached chapter 11, and did some research so I can get Edelgard's path.

Other than that, I am in love with FE series, and I wish they ported over more games to the Switch (with black magic, I know why they didn't from the Ds series), but after I'm done with FE 3 Houses, I'm going into straight into Engage. As of this moment, I'm patiently waiting for FE Fortunes Weave. 9.5/10

Hello everyone, its that time again, game chat time!

I hope you're enjoying whatever April is bringing you at the moment, whether that's warmer weather and Spring blossoms or just the start of a new month and a rebirth in that smaller way. I hope today is bringing you some good vibes.

I've been hooked on Final Fantasy 9, got my last two party members, fought a zombie tree, learned about summoners, currently wishing Zidane would find his voice, c'mon dude. Things in the game are slowing down a little bit before the next act gets going (I'm guessing). I've really enjoyed this one, and definitely a testament that sometimes we just need to come back to games later on and give them another chance with a different mindset and more experience. I've fallen in love with this fantasy world and its characters; it captures the thing I think we desire in every good jrpg, a party that feels like they are actually spending time together and know each other.

Also made a tiny bit more progress with my Warlock in Diablo 2 last night, I do not love the jungles of act 3, I always get a bit lost.

But what will you be getting into?

Enjoying the turning of the seasons on your island? Jumping into the stars with Mario? Being brave with Grace and badass with Leon?

Let me know below!

Hi r/NintendoSwitch!

Who are we

We are Tuesday Quest, a small team of 3 developers behind A Planet of Mine MasterMine Edition, which has been released on Switch! We want to thank the mods of r/NintendoSwitch to have us today!

The game

A Planet of Mine MasterMine Edition is an original strategic builder where you choose your gang of cute animals to conquer space! Collect resources in a procedural generated system, expand your influence, meet other factions. Trade, peace or clash: your planets, your choice!

Nintendo eShop (US): https://www.nintendo.com/us/store/products/a-planet-of-mine-mastermine-edition-switch/

The port

This was our first Switch port, and getting there was quite a bit harder than anticipated. Since we’re a very small team, every part of the process took longer than planned, especially adapting the game to console controls, polishing it and making it feel right on the Switch.

We want to do an AMA to have a honest talk about what the reality is for small games on Switch. The sales number (without being too specific) was really humbling and lower than we expected. We’re still quite proud of what we achieved though!

We’d be happy to talk about this adventure (yes, for us it was an adventure) and:

• the game and how it works
• making a strategy / management game that feels good on Switch
• what was hardest part of the port
• how long it took
• what we got wrong
• working as a team of 3
• or anything else (food for example, as French people,, it’s quite high in our priorities)

Giveaway

We will take 3 questions at random and award them a Switch key for the game! So don’t shy away and ask us anything! We will DM the winners.

Joining this AMA: Jonathan(Code) Aurélien(Code) Vincent(Design, Art and Sound)

Hi all, does anyone know of a puzzle game on the shop that’s sliding blocks to free a certain block through an exit?

Only thing I can use as an example is Giiker super slide.

I’ve been looking for ages but can’t find a console version

Thanks in advance

I was so pumped to pick up the Switch 2 for Mario Kart World and proceeded to unlock everything in the game in less than 20 hours solo. I was glad I got the bundle but haven’t bought any games since. I’d love to pick up Kirby Air Riders but knowing I’m mostly using the Switch 2 for handheld and solo play, I’m worried that I would be paying so much for a game and playing a portion of it.

So I come to y’all to see what (preferably offline) recommendations y’all might have as well as thoughts on the below games I’m considering picking up before Summer to play outside. Personally I really enjoy quirky puzzle and story games, as well as big open world games that I can customize my character and get cool armor/clothes. I also have Switch Online but not the expansion pack.

- Pokopia (only hesitation here is the full price cost)

- Balatro (never played it and seeing mixed reviews of the port)

- Blue Prince (Already beat this game on PS5 but was my GOTY pick last year)

- Pokémon Leaf Green (only mainline Pokémon game I haven’t played)

- Castle Crashers (played this a decade ago on the Xbox 360)

- Skyrim (same as Pokopia, same as Castle Crashers)

- Drop Duchy (it’s not out yet but looks like fun!)

Thanks in advance for your help!

I am planning on giving my old switch to my grandfather who doesn’t have much experience with video games or electronics. I’m giving it to him hoping that it’ll just keep him occupied and give him a little bit more joy in his day to day.

I’m really just looking for videos to explain how to use it that are so dumbed down that someone with no experience could understand how to use it.
