Thinking of buying Nintendo Switch and the Zelda. I'm both new to the Nintendo systems and the Zelda series. Do I need the pro controller if I'm playing mostly docked? The switch controllers seem like shit. Any other game recommendations? Fire Emblem and Bayonetta 2 come to mind.

The joycons are perfectly serviceable for Zelda, but I prefer pro controller for obvious reasons.
>Any other recs
Xenoblade Chronicles 2.

Joycons really aren't as bad as they make them out to be, but the Pro Controller is one of the most comfortable ones I've ever played with, so I definitely recommend it.

Fire Emblem, albeit not without its flaws, is a hell of an addictive game with a lot of replay value (more so with all the patches now, haven't even tried DLC)

Bayonetta 2 is a polarizing one. Some will tell you it's even better than the first. For me it kinda feels like a Direct To Video affair. Still worth playing but I'd temper expectations if I were you. But hey who knows, you might belong to the first group, if so more power to ye.

Joycons are fine, use the attachments if you have bigger hands.
Also, Mario Odyssey, the sleeper best switch game.

You can buy an adapter for a ps4 /xbone controller for about £13, don't bother buying a pro controller.

I agree mario odyssey is the best game if you get the joycon motion controls down.

LMAO ew no

What kind of hipster puts zelda at mid-tier

Jesus christ this is the worst list I've ever seen.

And yeah OP definitely get fire emblem
Its the best tactical RPG I've ever played.

>What kind of hipster puts zelda at mid-tier
The same kind of retard who splits Pokemon versions and has Mario Tennis in low.

Luigi's Mansion 3 doesn't really have much if any replay value, but damned if it doesn't make you smile all the way through. One of the most charming games out there.

Don't sleep on Mario & Rabbids. You can find even the Golden version for peanuts nowadays. Not only is the gameplay polished and engaging, it manages the impossible and makes the Rabbids actually fun (and I used to abhor them before this game).

If you like 2D platformers go buy DK Tropical Freeze this instant

not him but literal kids games

If you have a weaker PC and want to play BotW and all of it's DLC without any issues or glitches, the best way to do that is to play it on a Switch. CEMU may work fine, yeah, but it's a Wii U emulator and that's a long dead system with no support or new games coming.

for zelda anyway
literally works on a 2014 i5 full speed no drops

Joycons were uncomfortable for me, personally

>Literal kids games

What kind of games do you play? Because if you think God of War or Spider-Man or RDR2 are "adult" you're just a manchild

>literally works on a 2014 i5 full speed no drops

That's just a blatant lie.

I don't own a playstation but I also don't play games I'd group with the roblox crowd

I have an older i7 and I get lag and frame drops a lot. Not to mention enemy AI glitches

So, can't speak from experience on what they really are like I see.

literally is not lmao why do you feel like giving insight to something you evidently know absolutely nothing about
works literally 40-50fps on i5 4690k

splatoon for example is a family friendly version of call of duty tier garbage shooty tooty

Do all of you have baby hands? The joycons are terrible as is the stick / button layout.

>Smash

If he's gonna exploit its multiplayer, abso-fucking-lutely
If he wants it just for the single player I'd suggest him to start with previous Smash games or wait until he has more experience with Nintendo games under his belt. The absence of trophies and the approach to spirits makes Ultimate a game that favors those in the know a lot.

I got a 4690k and the game runs way above 30fps at literally all times, you have some turbo retarded configuration or something

Don't buy one of Nintendo's pro controllers. Get a Hori or Power A pro controller. They're much cheaper and just as functional. Get a wired controller if you can since they're much cheaper. You can get a hori or Power A wired pro controller for $16. Do not get a pro controller made by some random company because they won't update it if a Nintendo update breaks the controller.

Except nothing like it but ok

I want it locked at 60 fps if I'm gonna play it on PC. If it's around 30-40 I may as well just stick to switch which is already 900p and looks really good on my 4k tv

I've tried splatoon it's embarassing to play that game

Can guarantee you'd get your ass handled to yourself in it too.

I have large hands and I can use the JoyCon for a while in portable fine.

umm switch is 30fps with some drops to 20fps so it don't make sense to buy one to play the game if you can get a better experience on your existing computer

Only game mentioned in this thread that seems like it'd embarrass me to play is Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Some cutscenes I've seen..Yikes

No you haven't. You probably get fucked by brushes.

>the 20 year old who still plays pokemon

With Go making the franchise more mainstream than ever, mocking someone for liking Pokemon reeks of a mentality stuck in the past. And I mean this as objectively as I can.

Not him, but the games listed do have alot of problems, being "kiddy" is the least of them.

>games like Mario and Kirby have zero challenge and never improve, essentially stagnating in gameplay
>games like Xenoblade and Fire Emblem have zero substance and are all style, aka boring cutscenes and flashy graphics.
>I want to like DKCTF, but the fanbase is beyond obnoxious (HURR FUCK ALL OTHER PLATFORMERS, OURS IS THE GOD!) I feel a bit of cringe just from the elitism
>Splatoon and BOTW are really scummy with their anti-consumer practices, chopping up content and locking it behind premium season passes
>Smash is arguably worse, since you miss out on vital content if you don't pay for the DLC

Yes, the problem is 100x worse on other platforms, but it's far from nonexistent on the switch.

lol friendship is magic amirite

calm the fuck down

imagine being this upset that you post this shit about nintendo games on a saturday morning

cringing due to DKTF fanbase? Wtf? Smash is missing vital content? No lmfao.

>>Smash is arguably worse, since you miss out on vital content if you don't pay for the DLC

Lmao get a load of this bozo. You can easily get hundreds of hours off Ultimate without ever paying an extra cent.

In terms of Smash, when I pay 60 bucks for a game, plus a fee just to access online, I expect the company to not nickel and dime me with content that will obviously give others an edge. And don't say "it doesn't matter". That would only apply if the content was cosmetic.

You guys act like Nintendo is gonna go bankrupt if they don't charge absurd amounts of money for DLC.

>being normalfag is good
>mobileshit as an argument
kys yourself. and i mean this is as objectively as i can.

his argument is basically like saying fortnite is popular or that gacha makes money lmao

Nah, it's true. Anyone mocking someone else for playing Pokemon these days would be seen as an awkward dumbass stuck in the past.

install emulator, play zelda

Funny how you think the DLC is overpriced (it isn't for what you get) yet don't stop to think all the effort already poured in the base game might make it underpriced. Game goes out of it's way to overdeliver all for the same standard price across the industry.

>the people who defend lootboxes, season passes, and easy difficulties would ostracize critics

GEE, YOU DON'T SAY?

Joycons are fine, fatass.

None of that is in my message though. Learn to read.

lmao imagine being a fat fuck playing a kid game because fortnite is popular among kids

>Funny how you think the DLC is overpriced (it isn't for what you get)
See, this is the kind of brand loyalty that I'm worried about. All DLC is bad, and there should never be a price tag on it period, especially on a full priced game.

>Game goes out of it's way to overdeliver
There is no such thing. This is just corporate apologist speak. For 60 dollars the game barely even has a singleplayer. It makes Call of Duty look like Doom, that's how poor it is.

you realize all fighting games follow this model right?

>Recommending Fire Emblem
I'm laughing.

Half those games are either gimmicky shit or are only fun at gatherings with friends or something. Especially Smash unless you're a competitive fag. And don't even get me started on all the problems with BotW. Anyway It's no secret that Switch is lacking in the games department, not as bad as the WiiU but then again half of the games in the Switch library are WiiU ports.

Stop being such a shill, I was trying to be rational in what I was telling OP. He definitely should try some Nintendo stuff out through emulation before just impulse buying a Switch to play Zelda because retards like you told him to when he asked about it.

If fighting games jumped off a cliff, would you do it too?

WoL will definitely last you dozens of hours if played to completion. That's not taking in account a Classic mode run for every character and all the challenges in the title. Let alone collecting all spirits.

And all of this without even mentioning how the heart of any Smash game is in its multiplayer. Got hundreds of hours in my Switch just from matches played with friends IRL.

>All DLC is bad, and there should never be a price tag on it period, especially on a full priced game.

So long as I'm given a rich, fully featured complete base game, I have no issue paying further for more. I think it's a reasonable posture.

Wtfh is this bait post? You're a worthless fucking nigger. BotW is great, yes even a great Zelda game, you still have dungeons (5, 4 never held back MM to you spergs), tons of puzzles with good open end design, combat is..fine enough. Not WW/TP tier, but above OoT/MM. World design is excellent. Stop being a contrarian for the sake of it.
Also
>hur dur it lacks good nintendo games
Like the other user said, stop being a nigger faggot.
1/10 you tried too hard.

>being this retarded
>on an anonymous hungarian soap craving forum
>just to look like a tough cool dude
Holy fuck kill yourself bro.

>WoL will definitely last you dozens of hours if played to completion
Dozens of hours is a terrible playtime, especially on a 60 dollar price tag with DLC. I expect 1000+ hours of playtime BEFORE multiplayer is factored in. If there's one thing I hate, it's a game needing multiplayer to be good. That just tells me you shouldn't charge full price in the first place. That's the problem with all fighting games. Once people stop playing it, there's no desire to ever go back and play the games. They become 60 dollar paper weights.

the best way to play botw is with CEMU, do that first.

manchild stfu

BOTW is going to blow your mind. The Great Plateau is going to teach you the "basics" of the game and it will be a little slow, but when you get off the Great Plateau and hit Hyrule you will be hooked FOR YEARS.

>Bayonetta 2
You need the pro controller. Also use it in wireless mode, it lags less.

Before anything else, this is bait Feel free to report it for starting a flamebait

That said

>Octopath Traveler
>Ring Fit Adventure
>SSBU

>Waifublade Chronicles 2
>Bomberman R
>Puyo Puyo Tetris
>Fire Emblem 3 Houses

We'll have to agree to disagree then. Disliking multiplayer so much as to discredit its own merits and having an issue with fighting games in the first place would predispose you to be unsatisfied with most titles, not just Ultimate, and I find the notion of 1,000 hours of single player gameplay being the bar for a game earning its 60 bucks laughable, to the point where I wonder if I'm not being had. Legitimately curious here, which games even gave you that much playtime? Can't imagine the list is too big, nor that it's achieved without ridiculous grinding.

botw is great, but it was clearly rushed for the switch launch/port. The map itself, the shrines , and the challenges related to the main story were good, but the ennemy variety was unacceptable. So it's replay value is not that high desu.
