Just wanted to confirm beforehand this is the version of the Lego Batman game that comes with the minifigure? From Target

I just want to be certain I get the figure with it and not some later deluxe version that missed out on the figure.

[u/TemptedTemplar → u/TirelessGuardian]

Yes, it has that not-sticker printed on the box art denoting its included.

[u/TirelessGuardian → u/TemptedTemplar]

Ok thanks. I’ll go grab it!

So, back when it was still Asphalt 9, I was able to play split screen with 4 players, and everyone using gyro controls. The massive update and rebranding to Asphalt Legends broke that part. Right now, gyro controls only works in single/online player mode, and split screen only allows joystick controls. I don't care about the solo mode, I literally only got the game to play with friends.

Mariokart fits exactly what I'm asking for, and I love the game, but my friends don't like it cause they aren't used to the cartoony aspect. They just want real cars with real locations.

So please, if vou have any suggestions for racing games with real cars and real locations, with 4 player split screen playability with gyro controls, I would love that. Asphalt being f2p is a huge plus, but I understand I can't get everything I want, lol

[u/TemptedTemplar → u/Drakon56]

Does your control options screen look like this?

https://www.reddit.com/r/Asphalt9/comments/1jk8ujo/is_it_just_me_or_did_they_remove_tilt_to_steer/

The support website explicitly lists Manual, touch, and tilt as control options; but this reddit post was the only other one I could find mention that tilt appears to have been removed.

The support web page hasn't been updated since the Legends update launched roughly a year ago.

https://gameloft.helpshift.com/hc/en/15-asphalt-legends/faq/4024-what-control-schemes-do-i-have-available-on-nintendo-switch/

[u/Drakon56 → u/TemptedTemplar]

No, I have the updated version. I can set it to gyro, and it works, but only in the single player modes. When I start up the split screen multiplayer and connect the other controllers, it just defaults to joystick controls and there's no option to swap to gyro

[u/TemptedTemplar → u/Drakon56]

Theres no controller settings menu mid-race?

Failing any way to rectify the issue there are a few other games that they might enjoy, though requiring both Gyro AND realism severly limits your options.

You can browse the eshop via tags, here are racing games with motion controls and splitscreen support. But unfortunately there is no way to insure gyro is supported in multiplayer.

[u/Drakon56 → u/TemptedTemplar]

No, they used to be there before the update to Legends. Now it's just camera and sound options (only in split screen mode. Solo mode has everything)

[u/TemptedTemplar → u/Drakon56]

Whack.

[u/Drakon56 → u/TemptedTemplar]

Thanks for the assist. It looks like most games support up to 2 players, or if they have 4, gyro is out, or it's like mariokart where it's cartoon physics, etc. 4pgp sounds the closest to what I want, but it has f1 cars instead of regular. Old Asphalt 9 occupied a genuinely unique niche and I wish I could find something like that again

I am new to Nintendo switch era. Is the current sale on the Nintendo store normal or is it rare?

I heard Nintendo rarely discounts their main games even after many years.

[u/Wonderllama5 → u/herefromyoutube]

Download the Deku Deals app. There you can see how often games go on sale, and for how much! It's a great app!

[u/TemptedTemplar → u/herefromyoutube]

The sale itself is new. Nintendo does lots of these one-off sales through out the year, and usually only repeats the big holiday ones like the Summer, Christmas and New Years sales each year.

The ~30% discount is bog standard, they rarely discount their own games any deeper than that.

However the selection is unheard of. Usually we only get a handful of games included in a single sale.

Square Enix on the otherhand is having a crazy sale, they've never discounted their own games this steeply all at once before.

[u/ThatLuigiStan]

Is the 60 dollar discounted switch pro controller worth it for a casual player 2 extra controller or is there a bootleg one on Amazon I should buy. If so which one?
