If you try to do a Tilt attack using the standard attack button, you will more than likely fail, and do a smash attack instead. This is because Smash game developers have a weird obsession of forcing all competitive players to use the analog stick for tilt attacks. This issue could easily be fixed with a patch by giving players the option to disable smash attacks. Every other attack, grab, and input mechanism in this game is customizable. Even stick sensitivity is customizable. But smash attacks? Nope. That would make gameplay far too easy. And Nintendo wants to be different. Street Fighter, Tekken, and every other fighting game invented lets you do "tilt" attacks using the game's standard attack button. And strong or "smash" attacks using a different button. But nope, not Smash Bros. We must be DIFFERENT. Let's FORCE anyone who wants to play this game competitively to use the analog stick for tilt attacks. Who cares that this method is less efficient. As long as we make our game different from others, that's what matters! (This is the logic of Smash developers)
I feel like both base and Expansion Pack is pretty good. We all know why the base one is decent.
Expansion Pack is still way cheaper than other memberships by the way. It may have less features than PS Plus and Xbox Game Pass but that doesn’t mean the Expansion Pack is bad. Those other memberships can reach up to $80-$160+ anyway. Also, old games being there is a way bigger deal than you think, who cares if they are 25+ years old? Y’all are acting like you wanna devalue these games to hate on the membership, they’re still super great. Golden Sun, Fire Emblem, Paper Mario, etc. And since Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is the best selling Switch game (I’m one of those people that own it, but didn’t get the Booster Course Pass) I’m enjoying it like crazy right now.
It is super worth it.
EDIT: Unlike Virtual Console. These games have Online Co-op, which is the big pin that makes NSO better than VC for me. I love Four Swords and Amazing Mirror online.
First of a little backstory about me before this gets flamed by the comment section. I have adhd big time and get the rush when i pop achivements, trophies and so on. I have 60+ platinum on playstation, many achivements on steam and xbox, and have started to look into retro achivements. I have started to track everything in psnprofile and playtracker. I tend to play more games that have those things because as i said, i get more of a rush to 100% games, but that means if i don’t have a goal in the games i will not 100% them for the most part. I did not collect all the moons in odyssey, or seeds in breath of the wild. I did however fill out the pokedexes in pokemon shield, lets go eevee, arceus, and violet because i got a rush from it.
TLDR; i get a rush from completing things of significance in games because of ADHD.
Is there any services that you could link your nintendo profile and they have fanmade stuff line that. Type retro achivement, but without integration in the system. Or is it even possible, i would love to see nintendo actually doing this because i would def play more of their games because of it. I need shit like that to keep me longer into the games.

Hello everyone! Welcome to the weekend!
Hope everyone had a fun and safe Halloween. I did not get a ton of Trick or Treaters by me, but I did have one group of kids that were Mario Kart characters which was fun.
I've been playing Pumpkin Jack which feels like a game that would have been popular like 20+ years ago in the golden age of 3D platformers. I don't love it yet, but I'm liking it more and more. It has a silly sense of humor, its a pumpkin ghost man fighting with demons and jumping on ledges with a crow buddy. What more can you want?
I finished Neva, really enjoyed how your partnership with Neva evolves over the game to help with platforming and combat until you both almost act as one. Just some breathtaking, beautiful environments to traverse through. Took so many screenshots. I didn't love the ending, but at the same time I think I see what they were going for, and I get it.
What will you be getting into?
Shuffling scared with your trusty vacuum cleaner waiting for ghosts to spook you? Going to commit some crimes with Gregg, cuz he rulz, ok? Having a Mario Party Jamboree?
Let me know below!

I’ve been really loving games that give me the vibe of 90s/early 2000s cartoons and just wanted to see if they’re are suggestions for other games with similar graphics and art I may not know about.
Recently I’ve played and LOVED:
Dodgeball Academia (reminds me of Recess)
Lost in Play (reminds of Chowder)
#BLUD (reminds me of Dexters Laboratory
I’ve loved all these games because they felt like I was both playing a game and watching some of my favorite cartoons as a kid. Would love things with the same rich and bright art style as these.
Thanks for any suggestions!

Greetings!
We wanted to take a moment to let you know about an upcoming event we're going to be taking part in on Saturday, November 2nd, called Extra Life.
Extra Life is a fundraising program of Children's Miracle Network Hospitals. Every year, there is a designated "game day" and participants, like our mod team, are encouraged to play games in an effort to raise funds for charity.
Donations are accepted all year long, but there is a concentrated effort on "game day."
On November 2nd, the r/NintendoSwitch mod team will go live on our Twitch channel and play games as we try to gather donations. Donations are completely optional but are tax deductible.
You can read more at https://www.extra-life.org/ and find our individual participant page at https://www.extra-life.org/participant/rNintendoSwitch
We've chosen Duke Children's Hospital specifically to raise funds for. They're local to FlapSnapple on our mod team and have directly helped both Flap's brother-in-law as well as another member of our mod team.
Children's Miracle Networks Hospitals is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) charity organization that raises funds and distributes them to partner hospitals.
Donations are used to fund critical treatments and healthcare services, pediatric medical equipment, and charitable care.
Additional reading can be found on the CMN Hospitals about page or on Charity Navigator.
First off, if you aren't in a position to donate, that's okay! We know everyone has been tightening their belts lately and this is a judgment-free zone; we understand! Watching the stream, hanging out in Twitch chat or our Discord, and spreading the word via sharing our posts about the event and the link to watch are still incredibly impactful ways for you to help us out. We'd still absolutely love to see you on game day!
If you are able to donate, we do have some goodies available for you to show our appreciation, including some physical items:
/profile
card on our Discord server.If you have a free Twitch Prime subscription or some extra Bits lying around, that also helps! Any revenue generated through Twitch will also be donated! If you can't donate during our stream on game day, that's okay too! Donations are accepted all year long.
Visit https://extra-life.org/participant/rNintendoSwitch to contribute if you're in a position to do so. There are no minimums, and any amount is appreciated. You must opt-in for the physical rewards in the donation window, so if you want those items, make sure to select the package you want!
Donations are completely optional but are tax deductible. (Your employer may also offer donation matching, so you can double your donation by filling out a simple form with your HR department.)
New this year, we've partnered with the Reddit Community Funds team and we're excited to announce that Reddit will be matching donations made via our Extra Life fundraising page (up to $20,000) starting when our stream goes live on November 2nd!
The stream is currently scheduled to start November 2nd at 6AM ET / 3AM PT / 10AM GMT and will run for 18 hours, ending at approximately Midnight ET / 9PM PT / 4AM GMT
We're still finalizing the list of games that we'll be playing, but it's safe to say there will be some amount of Mario Party Jamboree betrayal, as well as something that one of our moderators is lovingly calling "Hyrule Trucking Simulator" via TLoZ: Tears of the Kingdom.
Spread the word, and we hope to see you there!
The r/NintendoSwitch Mod Team
I got a $100 Switch gift card, redeemed it, tried to buy multiple things in the eShop, but to no avail! Can someone please tell me what this error code means? I've scoured the Nintendo support website to find it, but there's nothing on there that I've found that matches the error code. I've also closed the eShop and reopened it many times, along with restarting the console. Somebody please help me with this.
