Furi’s pretty great but havent played the switch version so cant speak to the framerate. Haven’t played the others though i think there was a blaster master thread up earlier this week. Don’t know enough about the rest.

That thread is still up.

Not many games. No backwards compatibility. My interest in it died pretty quickly.

Cosmic Star's great. Really good combat system that doesn't lend itself to endless repetition so the pacing of "dungeons" is weirdly quick. Otherwise it's the standard JRPG fare.

Thanks for that. Sounds like it's worth a shot.

Already played the majority of the first party stuff, now I'm looking for smaller games that work well in handheld mode for pick-up-and-play while I'm "on holiday" (actually baby-sitting for family for a fortnight but whatever, I'm not at home).

I did like the first Blaster Master and finished it, but I was over it by the time I got to the end. I'm not sure if more of the same will manage to keep my interest.

I'm interested in Dark Quest 2 because it reminds me of Hero Quest, but what does it actually play like?

If you only have access to a Switch for a limited time I assume, why would you spend it playing all those multiplat games? Play some Switch exclusives, it just makes more sense in a short timeframe.

I can only speak of Furi

Is a boss rush game. It has three segments. The first is a walking simulator in between every boss, just to set the stage and drop some DEEPEST LORE. You can press a button to auto walk and they don't go further than 2 minutes as far as I remember.

The second is a twin stick shooter with some bullet hell elements. It's sweet. You can dodge(can be charged), block(works for a few projectiles), shoot(can be charged, charging reduces your movement speed), block(Works whenever they try to throw you off with melee attacks) and melee attack(for when you block). It relies mostly on dodging and I think it's the more intense part of the game since it usually either bombards you with lots of projectiles of various properties(homing, cannot be destroyed, splits into various projectiles on being destroyed, flat dodge only shock waves/lasers). It's in my opinion really fucking good, although there's a certain Sniper bitch who gave a lot of people trouble, me included.

The third and final part is a very simple melee game. You can block, dodge, attack or charge up your armor for a powerful swing. Basically you wait for them to attack, either with a melee string or a charged AoE attack(both have very obvious indicators, even though I feel the animation usually tells you where the AoEs are going to hit on their own) before attacking back, and you repeat that for usually 3~ combos of your own. Usually you'll parry all of the melee string before fighting back, since it's safer. They try to throw you off with breaks in the melee string, multi part attacks, unblockable grab attacks or whatever, but if you are crafty and have good timing you can interrupt their string while it's happening. You can also charge up your attack which works nice for those AoE atttacks, you deal lots of damage before doing an animation which deals more damage.

That's all I'll say about the game, because the artstyle and music is a vital part of it and you'll get all you need to know right from the first second of the first track.

As for how it runs on the switch, no clue.

I'd say it's worth it.

As for Gigantic Army, I haven't played it but I have heard it was similar to Assault Suits Valken, which I liked.

The game tries to keep if fresh by making all of the levels different planets, most of which are bite sized mini bosses or micro platformers, to try to keep the feeling of backtracking to a minimum while trying to make some of the bosses more interested be including some that require both in the ship and on foot gameplay. It's more like a 1.5 version of the first game, but not worth checking out if you're not ecstatic about the first one.

>I'm interested in Dark Quest 2 because it reminds me of Hero Quest

It plays like a point and click on console. You make your moves by using the analog on a top-side grid and select your targets with a single button. It's a very simple strategy game with a "grind for gold and buy the best stuff" system. Great for chilling out while the little guy watches cartoons.

Hack it and play gba and don't make spoonfeed threads again fag.

The new Monster Boy game seems pretty comfy from the demo I played

I'm playing in handheld mode and I don't like the analogues on the joycons, too small and not enough travel, so I'd prefer 2D games.

I also don't want to spend more than $10-15 dollarydoos.

>Yet it also seem more like a Handheld game

It is. It was originally a Vita game.

has their been a switch revision yet that fixes all the problems from launch models?

Try the Umihara Kawase Fresh demo (requires JP account to download, takes 2 minutes to setup) and play Tetris 99.

I should make a sidenote, you can get Europoor discounts by changing your Nintendo account's region to Europe. Ideally, do Sweden, from what I could find, they have the lowest pricings (nearly identical to US dollar amounts) and still have the exact same E-shop discounts.

Dragon Fang Z Rose and the Dungeon of Time. It's a rogue-like where you are a cute dragon girl exploring dungeons.
