YangustheLegendaryBandit 3,578 Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Had some troubles with an eshop card on Tuesday but after getting that straightened out thanks to Nintendo’s help desk I was able to use the card to get two games on the cheap right now. First was Child of Light for $5. Heard enough good things about it hear and elsewhere that I decided to get it. Second was Penny LeClue, which was $3 down from $25. I had my eye on it back when it came out a few months ago since it sounded like an interesting game, but the super sudden price drop made me go for it. Started it up yesterday and have really enjoyed it so far. The shifting perspectives between the author and his characters has had some nice touches so far. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Plattym3 2,448 Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Child of light is a great game!!!!!! One of my favorites. Definitely. There's a history to how it got made, and will never see a sequel. The battle system gets compared to Grandia a lot, but I don't see the 1:1 that much, although it's kidna similar. The way the story is written and the graphics are amazing. And I never say that about anything. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Plattym3 2,448 Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Doesn't it have that one character that messes up the easy rhyme every time? Like his dialogue goes like:Hello to you sir.How are you today?That's a beautiful axe there, I'd like to borrow it if I... might.Ah, yes! The photo caption does this better than I ever could! On purpose!On purpose!Rhyme verses with on purpose! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Plattym3 2,448 Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Did it not sell well enough?More of it was a side project made by some people at Ubisoft. They allowed people to work on passion projects at one point and that popped out. Something companies rarely do.Made them a nice side chunk of money, but they're AAA company, not small JRPG company.

YangustheLegendaryBandit 3,578 Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Woo! There’s going to be a big update for Bug Fables on November 5th! It’s going to include new bosses, quests, guest party members, QoL changes, and by the looks of the end of the teaser, a battle with the most fearsome of all the bugs in the game! Can’t wait for it to hit next week! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
eal 2,647 Posted October 29, 2020 Author Share Posted October 29, 2020 Child of Light definitely felt like an extravagantly made proof of concept in that it had all the components for an RPG but didn’t go as far as it could. I remember the meager number of very simple side quests that made me question why they were in there at all. Soundtrack was great though. I went out of my way to buy the CD. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

eal 2,647 Posted October 31, 2020 Author Share Posted October 31, 2020 I think Pokémon Shield just blew out my Switch’s speakers? My Gigantimax Pokémon was knocked out and the combination of the rumble and the noises it makes when defeated suddenly caused the sound to cut out. I can’t get the sound to come back. It comes through fine in docked mode and when I put a set of headphones in. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I wonder if that’s something Nintendo could fix if you sent in your console or if you’re going to have to get a new one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I wonder if that’s something Nintendo could fix if you sent in your console or if you’re going to have to get a new one. I was able to get the sound back for a few minutes so the speakers definitely still function. I almost wonder if the rumble dislodged something. It’s not too big of a deal because there are still ways to get sound (I wasn’t even originally playing with the music on, I just turned it up so I could listen to the battle theme). For now, I’m gonna sit on it and see if the sound will come back permanently on its own. If not, I might pop it open and see if something popped out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
YangustheLegendaryBandit 3,578 Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 There are two good multiplayer games up for grabs on the eshop at a good sale price. Overcooked 1 is on sale for $5, and Overcooked 2 is $12.49 for the base game or $23 for it and all the DLC. First game is local co-op only, but the sequel has online play with up to 4 people. For $5, that’s a good deal on Overcooked 1. I can’t remember if I said this in this topic, but Jenny LeClue is on sale for $3 right now until November 8th. Seriously, this game is REALLY WORTH IT for that price. I’ve been very surprised and impressed with it. If you have $3 floating on the eshop, get it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
