    I would rate it slightly higher than Kirby's Pinball Land

    metroids, ranked:

    Super Metroid
    Metroid Fusion
    Metroid Prime
    Metroid Zero Mission
    Metroid Prime 3
    Metroid Prime 2
    Metroid: Samus Returns
    Metroid 2
    Metroid

    the spaces between most of these games are generally pretty small, though I would say there's a fairly significant gap between 2 and Samus Returns

    I have chosen to leave certain games unranked

    i dont have especially high attachment to super metroid just because I didnt play it until long after its initial release but otherwise I think I agree with that list

    prime pinball gets its own special list where it's always number one, right above prime hunters and federation force

    Prime Pinball is a great game though!

    I don't have whatever gene you need to have in order to enjoy pinball

    I actually really don't. Pinball FX bores me. Prime Pinball was to pinball what Mario RPG was to JRPGs to me; it added in just enough extra mechanics to occupy you instead of hitting a button and waiting
    I haven't actually played prime pinball, would you rate it higher or lower than pokemon pinball for the game boy color

    Lower, but I love old Pokémon spinoffs

    Where do you slot in Guacamelee and Ori and the Blind Forest

    And Mark of the Ninja and Outland and and and and

    I love Metroidvanias

    I've spent SO much time in Metroid Pinball. I would rate it above Pokemon Pinball. For the longest time, it + the rumble pack were the only thing that lived in my DS.

    don't get me, specifically, wrong, I liked it overall, I just didn't like the counter mechanic and aeon scanning. I very much didn't like aeon scanning sitting there on my touchscreen the entire game like a metaphorical giant red button labeled "remove all exploration from the game." I understand modern devs are deathly afraid of anyone getting stumped by exploration puzzles but the aeon scan button is Way Too Much.

    Both are unranked

    Guacamelee lost my interest pretty quickly and I haven't played Ori yet

    Ori is real good. I really hope my PC can run 2

    I hope the controls in Ori 2 aren't as floaty as 1. It's a great game but the platforming gets very frustrating due to the floatiness of the controls.

    What kinda build you doing?

    I can tell ya from personal experience that str+two handed axes/hammers is very good. I eventually got to a point where I really only died from fucking up platforming.

    I haven't run it but my understanding is magic starts out kinda rough but eventually clears a hump and just becomes easy mode.

    Yeah, I ended up playing S&S with a twohanded magic-scaling greatsword and a combination of both classes of spells. Magic is really good in that game.

    I'm doing a hunter

    so far, just using my whip since the bow has pretty bad range

    the skill tree is so damn confusing

    edit: and I'm restarting because I can't beat the sodden knight and used all my consumables

    jesus what a chore

    I thought Kollow Knight bosses were bad

    Wario Ware Gold!

    I really wish that Wario Ware game was on Switch.

    switch is the perfect platform for a warioware game

    every time nintendo makes a mario party game, just think

    they could have made a wario ware game

    Naw, cause they generally farm out Mario Party to external devs but they do Wario Ware in house

    Well they likely wont because most games use the left buttons for directional input.

    Lots of games allow the use of left and right joycons as P1 and P2, though. Like, that was one of the big features in its early promotions.

    Switch Friend Code: SW-6680-6709-4204


  • King RiptorKing Riptor Registered User regular
    But then the d pad would be abxy not a directional input

    Actually the 3DS is--the games are small and simple so it's not held back by the small screen and is really conducive to just pulling out of your purse or pocket, playing for a few minutes and then putting away again.

    The Switch is fine for it because there's literally no bad platform for WarioWare, but there's nothing about it that makes it implicitly good for it

    Actually, the Switch is best for it because I have a Switch and I don't have a 3DS

    Ah but I have a 3ds but not a switch :)
