I'm more of a casual player so I don't really know much about the mechanics/balance of the game. All I want are Sans and Shovel Knight to be in the game

At least they tried to balance Smash 4 for a bit.

Shovel Knight is a safe bet, i think Mega Man & Bayonetta are coming back, hopefully we get Ryu too.

I can see Activision pushing for Crash as it would boost the sales of the trilogy A LOT but doubt it would happen.

Obviously someone from XBC2 (Rex) with the Pokemon Trainer ability to change blades (Shulk is probably a standard to the series now)

But...

My personal choice would be Ryu Hayabusa (Ninja Gaiden), he deserves it way more than many other 3rd party, he is an iconic NES character, with a super successful Trilogy that it defined the 8-bit generation.

I hope they replace Pokemon Trainer with Lillie and have her accidentally summon pokemon from her bag. She'd be my third favourite character if Shovel Knight and Sans are in the game

I haven't played since Melee so I'm not up to date on the roster so I don't know if this has already been done, but I think Simon Belmont would be a great one. Speaking of iconic NES characters with a super successful trilogy that defined the generation. Also, people kinda hate Konami right now so it could be Konami's way of pretending to care about video games

Rejoice, Deadcells and Mark of the Ninja are coming to Switch.

Mark of Ninja is real damn good and the perfect length. It's limited time pause should really should be how all stealth games are made. MGS 5 did a bit of it and it made that game so much better.

And Deadcells a sublime run based action roguelike thing. Responsive combat with fun enemies and a design that makes you want to try out new weapons and kits just to see how well the run goes.

Messenger and Lightfall (and Celeste) are my kinda games, but I think I'd rather get it on Steam. Even though it just kinda feels right to be playing games like that on a Nintendo system, I have a lot of trouble with platformers on Switch. I have a controller with a nice D-Pad, but I find the input latency to be so massive. I even find games like Shovel Knight to be really hard

Bad North could be pretty cool. I have no clue what I just watched, but I'll keep an eye on this one.

What? latency? i have 0 latency with my Switch Pro and Joycons

Indie games feels out of place besides the Switch now that ive tried them, most indie games are for short burst or pick.up and play kind of style which nor the ps4, xb1 or pc allows as good as the switch.

Don't get me wrong, i love PC gaming, but if i'm going to sit in my chair i rather play something that draws me in for hours

Docked or handheld? I play Xenoblade docked, around 20 feet from the machine, and I feel some latency while doing salvaging.

What is going on in your house? Did you put your TV at the end of a short hallway?

I have no latency regardless of if i'm docked or handheld
When docked i'm mostly 3-4 meters away from my machine.

To be honest, i did see some latency when doing salvaging on XC2 but not on other games, so i guess it has more to do with XC2 than the Switch itself

It's just an estimate, it might be closer to 14-15 now that I'm thinking about it. I'm lying down on a side couch perpendicular to the TV that is probably two person-lengths away from the Switch. Got the controller around my chest area.

It's an old setup. I had to place the Switch on top of a tv tuner, which is placed on top of a standing cabinet. It was the only way to both reach the TV and an electric outlet at the same time.

That's true. It may just be salvaging related. I saw other people mentioning having salvaging latency while docked but not in handheld mode. Of course, some people are claiming the opposite which muddles the entire thing further.

Exact same here. Also particularly apparent with salvaging. Have a delay with both joycons and pro while I have none when in handheld.

Almost done with Xenoblade actually, just need to clear the 2 or 3 superbosses that I haven't tackled yet but with everybody full gear, shouldn't be too hard. And then I move on to Darkest Dungeon, wish me luck

I have an 8bitdo controller so there may be some issue there. The latency is crazy when I plug it in and it's somehow better unplugged. I don't really notice it normally if I'm playing say Mario Odyssey, but when I play Shovel Knight, my attacks are somehow always off, and when I use the punching weapon, I'm always really late

It could be a combination of a few things. For all I know, it could be the TV input lag. It could be that games that I've already played on PC, I'm used to it on PC, whereas a game that are only available on one platform (Mario Odyssey for example), I don't know how it feels on PC so my mind auto-compensates for the delay. Something like Shovel Knight, where I'm used to a certain timing, it could feel off if I suddenly change to say a TV with higher delay. And while Shovel Knight isn't a particularly insane game, a bit of a delay could mess me up a lot

I'm not really sure what's wrong. I guess the Donkey Kong Country game is gonna be a test. It's the type of game that I need to be responsive, but it's also a game I've never played before so my brain doesn't have pre-conceived expectations of how the game should play/feel.

Got Splatoon 2 a few days ago and have zero issues with it. Super responsive and tight

So I finally got around to playing EO5. Does this game really get that much worse? I'm in the 3rd Stratum and this game is quickly becoming my second-favorite game in the series (still not better than EO3). There's a ton of sensible mechanical improvements over it's predecessors and the overall design philosophy seems much more congruent with the series as a whole than EO4 was.

For me, it did. Not bad enough to make me put down the game but enough to make me slowly lose motivation. I was really ready for the game to end at the 6th stratum. The 3rd stratum was my favorite in the game. It had atmosphere, somewhat of a story and enough quests and event tiles to make the world feel alive. I believe second names are unlocked after the 2nd stratum and the game really opens up from there. You had your full toolkit available to you without all the resistances and immunities in the later dungeons.
