I'm really happy with the Switch, personally. It's honestly the best new console for me since at least the PS2.

Yay! Hopefully I will have another game to contribute soon! I just bought Poi yesterday after trying to find it for months, so think I will start that today instead of Rime (especially since a patch should be coming for that soon to fix the massive lag issues).

I am also really happy with the Switch and find it to be the best new console for a long time too. I've barely touched my other consoles since I got my Switch   Collecting for it has been quite fun so far too!

I'm about 5 hours into Skyrim. I might play it again by next april.

I beat Skyrim in December.  

It just needs to happen before Dark Souls comes out, since I did my first and only pre-order of like the last 10 years for that one.

 

Gear.Club Unlimited is done. Don’t let the short length of each race fool you, there’s a huge single player campaign in this game. Fortunately the arcade-style racing plays really well. The graphics are passable and the structure means there’s usually plenty to do.

 

I've been thinking about starting up a new file on The End is Nigh since no one has done it yet. Anybody working on it?

I just discovered this thread and would love to join in since the Switch is my primary console. I'm at least halfway done with End is Nigh actually too!

I'm wondering what the definition of beating this game is.  Without spoiling much, there is a whole set of levels after the main campaign where you use the tumors you've collected as lives.  If you use them all up, it's game over.  Would I have to beat all those levels too?  I beat the main campaign but there were no credits.

I'm not actively working on it as I don't own it, but I do intend to eventually buy and play it. Don't let that stop you from replaying it though if you feel the itch!  

Having not played the game yet, I'd defer to others on this. 

Typically, I'd call the game beaten as long as you get an ending that could be considered "good" or "final".

For instance, Binding of Isaac I ask that you beat Mom's Heart. This would require at least two runs of the game to get the ending for beating the "true boss". This is despite that the game has MUCH more content to it than simply beating Mom's Heart.

That said, if beating the campaign of a game does not show the credits, but beating the "bonus" stages does, then I'd say you have to beat those bonus stages as well. If an ending of any sort exists, you at least have to earn that, even if it's really difficult.
 

That's one thing we're trying to figure out.  It's technically considered the bad ending so you did get an ending.  I'm just not sure if we need to require beating the future.  Probably.  But that's a run through every level and it's pretty tough.

Gloves, have you played through Super Meat Boy?  The end game part of The End is Nigh is basically running through the entirety of the Dark Worlds in one go.  But as steveovig stated, no credits unless you do that.  Should the stipulation be you have to get some ending that gives credits?

Even if it's super difficult, that's one stipulation I'd like to keep - get a "good" ending. If that means beating something long and hard (heh) in one go, I'm fine with that for now. Someone somewhere has done it, and someone here will do it I'm sure. 

That said, individual game rules are open to discussion, so feel free to weigh in!  

I have played and 100%ed Super Meat Boy.

Mmmk, I've fine with that. Since steveovig is already playing it I won't step in. Then my next shot at doing a Switch game would be Poi: Explorers Edition. I haven't played it much.

Also, what about a game like Just Dance? How do you 'beat' that? Just play every song?  I suppose this goes for 1-2 Switch as well.

If there is no campaign or story mode to speak of, then I'd go with a "try/beat everything" approach, yeah. So Like, play and don't fail every song, assuming a fail state even exists.

Let's say we have a game like a Wario title that's all multiplayer mini games. No story, no ending, literally just a bunch of mini games. Play each mini game once and you're good.

Some games will be super easy and some will be super hard, with probably most falling into the middle somewhere closer to the easy side. So I'd try to keep the integrity of the hard games, while also encouraging you to try everything an easy game has to offer.

From what I've seen Just Dance doesn't have a fail. Even my daughter can play and just enjoy herself and there was no penalty to speak of. So then my next question is how do we prove it? You don't want a user to take a picture of every single song when they complete it. And I think it doesn't even like put a mark on the song showing you've played it. I'd have to double check tonight but I'm fairly certain of that.

I think for an easy game like that it'd probably be ok to just take a photo at the end of whatever the last song on the list is.

Or hey, have some fun with it and take a selfie of you playing the game! ;P

Yeah, I'll pass on that.   I'll take a picture of my tv as it's a game you generally play docked. I think there are 30 songs (without the tons of DLC I got for free). So average 3 minutes per... I could do it over the course of the next 2 nights.

Edit:  I was thinking after a while, oh, I'm stupid because I have the screencap button on the joycon.  But then I remembered mine defaults to the right joycon in Just Dance.  I dunno if that's how we set it up initially or if that's standard.

Even though it's already cleared you could probably clarify Cave Story by something along the lines of "one of the good endings."  Or you could require the secret final boss be completed, which I don't think Quaze did

Same for Axiom Verge.  "Any good ending"?  I know there are multiple endings, some of which require beating the final boss and I think at least one that doesn't.  Not entirely sure.

 

Yes sir I did, and I also got the best ending  
 

Noted; I'll make sure it's clear in the rules for Cave Story. Thanks guys!  

I can take Rocket League if still open.  Just finished season 6, but have only played since the physical version came out.  I play regularly and can post when season 7 is over as well if that would be best to knock it off the list.

I'm starting to realize with End is Nigh is that I've only beaten half of the game. The harder levels are the ones that use the tumors as lives but you don't have to get through the entire thing in one go. Apparently, there are warp points so you just have to beat each section of levels and get to the next warp point and your lives are reset.

:/ I thought I made it through most of the final section of the game and didn't see that. Though, I drink a lot playing that game so I may just not have noticed or forgot. I did end up just stopping, though.  

If it's still open it's yours.  I've beaten a few 9 game seasons on Rookie and Pro modes and am currently in All-Star 9 game season.  The official seasons like you are doing I haven't done yet.

Added you to the board, Boosted!
