I haven't read on the tech issues. I figure the patch fixes will be quick. However, to OPs question, I'd second that starting with Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl is a great place. You'll know if it's for you or not.

, you mention purchasing from the eShop. I'm liking the deals on DLCs in eShop. Do they sell individual cards to recharge balance? All I ever see out here in Mexico are cards for Nintendo Online.
Well, the OP covers all 3 types of Switch. I too have the original along with my wife.
Sounds like a plan. Is that marked down for black Friday or buying regular retail?
It's a Black Friday bundle for 270€, knowing Mario Kart never goes below 45€ that brings Switch V2 down to 225€.
Whoa, get in early for that!
It’s available online the whole week, in Europe we don’t really like rushing to the store
Yesterday evening they added “10€ off each 100€” so I also got that perk.
If they're play docked, yeah -- it's alright but as you've probably read over the years, most are playing handheld.
Kids will only play docked under supervision, they are too small + I got two, and I’m not letting them fight over the console.
I LOVE both, keep in mind Triangle Strategy is much more cutscene heavy compare to Tactics Orge but the way you make decisions in Triangle Strategy is vey interesting.
. For example Triangle Strategy is 60 EUR Vs. 36 EUR for PC/Deck.
Ngl but the Deck has its advantages. However, the value of what you purchased there says something and I get that the Deck has an emulator...but, I don't by games to be emulated. I tried it with Steam of all things to emulate by MegaDrive games. I went back one day and bought a used Megadrive and all those games because I wanted to play direct from the MD. I'm for that authentic experience.
You like a challenge. Goodness, loved the demo of Triangle Strategy but I'll admit that I suck once these get into the thick. Getting my butt kicked already by bosses in Trials of Mana remake.
What level of difficulty would you put that at? I'm eager because I have a reputation for going half-way with most of JRPGs and then giving up once things get impossible. I miss having game guides in magazine form that I can pick up and just have it all there. Half the sites I use to set up battle strategies are bloated with ads.
If you're talking a docked control. No wires. Wired controls are everywhere but if you trip a cable -- your dock's going to go down. If you're willing to spend a bit more -- the Nintendo brand Pro Control will do wonders. However, there are a few 3rd party controls that I'd say work great and are a bit more economical. I'm using a wireless PowerA control. For my wife's Switch (mentioned in an above post), if you're ever looking to change out the joycons -- try the HORI pad controls. It's Pro joycon in a manner of speaking.Compare software prices and you will quickly realize something
Question to Nintendo Switchers: what's the best portable 3rd party controller set-up for OLED switch?
Enix games, yes. But as much as I love JRPGs...I suck at 'em. I also pace through them like an NPC. I mean, Trials of Mana NPCs have some cool houses. Why start a boss fight when you can eyeball that giant turkey dinner the innkeeper left on a table.
Gotta keep going with Trials of Msna then Harvestella. Well, I'm noob-level but have been playing JRPGs since 4th gen. I have a rep for getting so far and leaving things incomplete. Not to say I don't enjoy them. And not to say I may keep on buying more

HORI pad cons instead of the Nintendo joycons have been better for most combat/shooter games from my experience. Not as sure about NYXI Hyperion. Maybe someone else knows a bit more.
I've said it before but the best set up going forward excluding Nintendo brand joycons wpuld be a Nintendo Pro (or PowerA equivilant) control for playing docked and HORI pads to ŕeplace in handheld mode. That's the best...alrhough there are probably cheaper options.
Thanks, a pro controller seems to be recomnended in a few places.
Still haven't played yet. I've been waiting for a stretch of mid shifts, which are coming up not this week but the next. The night before I'll stay up to switch my schedule over and then ill have a couple days off in the middle. So I'll see how far I can get. But usually I don't mess around with games. Once I start I have to finish them. A recent exception being super metroid. Instead, I've been playing a bunch of mario kart 8 and animal crossing new horizon, with some super metroid mixed in. I'll get back to this thread once I've started.
Sweet bro! I've never played DK Tropical Freeze and would like to hear a bit more about the gameplay. I've been playing Super Mario Party with my wife. She's had her Switch since 2018 and I just got mine last October. For about 3-years we had not touched the first Switch. Just out on Nintendo too. I was on Steam and my wife playing her PS4. I got to a point in my job where I feel it got too busy any I needed a handheld I could pick up and play to take away some of the pressure. Then, we just got a couple PowerA pro controls to play Super Smash Bros Ultimate, Ultra Street Fighter and now Super Mario Party (which she picked up as a post-Christmas game).I bought a vanilla switch at launch. Played botw, mk8, odyssey and bayonette 2 probably more than 1000 hours. I sold the thing after 2 year since there was nothing for me to play in the long run.
I was really hoping for an upgraded model for the launch of tears of the kingdom but seeing that custom oled model killed all my hopes.
So once again, a switch owner. I got the lite version cuz i wont play switch games on a 65 inch tv and the oled one is too chunky for handheld
You won nintendo, you fucking won.
Funny thing is i am looking forward to tears of kingdom but the game that put me on the switch train is persona 5.
Well, answering to myself. Finally got the controller. I have to say that besides the analog sticks, I had no issue with joycons (and I have big hands), so, it's a bit weird to adjust to the bigger controller but it's getting there. It's light but on the other side, it doesn't feel robust (I think it's the same with other third party controllers to be honest). The LED's I could live without, but the turbo button and the back paddle are great additions to the gaming experience. As for the analog stick, it definetly improved the experience, although, perhaps it's because it has been years since I've played a shooter with a controller, it's still a bit tricky to aim with it (playing Bioshock Remaster). Bonus point in comparison with Hori, it can be used as a normal controller (without being attached).
Return to dreamland isn't as good as forgotten land, but it's pretty good. Unlike star allies there's no need to play co op ( I played it solo on wii). I'm looking forward to it myself, it looks like a solid remaster.
It works, but some button placements can feel a bit odd.
That makes sense, as it's kinda what happens with the Pro controller on certain NSO games. Thanks for the response!
You can pick up a generic version of the NES control for Switch if you're really running the NES game library on a regular basic. Like it was said above -- it's not going to map the way you'd like with a SNES/Super Famicom-type control. It may seem like a lot but again -- depends how much you want that feel of NES without having to pick up an actual NES or the NES Mini (I own that too) which only has so many games in it's library.
Engage will be worth the investment. I tried the demo first. If Nintendo Online still has the demo up, maybe start there.
