Topic: Your Latest Switch Purchase

Star Allies. Just beat it today. Nice little game, though I was kinda freaked out at their inclusion of Satan himself as the final boss.

Oops, I did it again ☺️ Buying ban fail.

I blame the NL Arcade High-Score thread, lol! @oorwullie @meppi64 😉

Picked up MOON PATROL (Hamster, Arcade Archives). A classic arcade game with pick up and play gameplay which belies the strategy and skill needed to achieve those high-scores.

Really enjoying it and worth £6.29 and then some. I mean I've likely spent that in virtual credits already. Love these arcade coin-op games on Switch.

Bought these with the £50 eShop credit courtesy of Nintendo UK:

• Minecraft
• KAMIKO
• Blossom Tales
• ACA NEOGEO Sengoku 3
• ACA NEOGEO Metal Slug 3
• Arcade Archives Super Mario Bros.

Also bought Overcooked from Game in Scarborough.

@antster1983 Nice haul and congrats on winning that eShop credit from Ninty 👍

@antster1983 I'm thinking on buying the marvel one, how did it go?

@josha It's LEGO and Marvel. Mainly Avengers and Guardians of the Galaxy characters and a few more (Black Panther, Ms. Marvel, Doctor Strange, Daredevil). Gameplay is solid, decent storyline, good voice acting including the marvelous Peter Serafinowicz voicing the main villain. Frame rate suffers a bit at times but it largely keeps to 30fps.

@antster1983 Did you got a chance to play it with 4 players, how was the experience?

So I've basically abandoned my earnest intention of not buying any more games for the foreseeable future and just spurged on more arcade titles: SENGOKU 3 (quality and quite strategic side scrolling Neo Geo beat-em up), PUNCH-OUT! (classic Nintendo boxing/puzzle game) and SENGOKU BLADE aka SAMURAI BLADE, labelled TENGAI for Nintendo Switch for some reason? (Amazing Psikyo horizontal shooter which I'd have just called Miko's marvellous bosom and had done with it 😜). All 3 are great arcade additions to the Switch library.

NBA 2K18 on sale

Just bought Penny Punching Princess since there's some 10% cashback promotion, hopefully not regretting it since it seems to be around 68 or so on metacritic and opencritic both >_<;;

(it probably will arrive in 2 days)

Ok, couldn't hold me back, I noticed Fire Emblem Warriors on sale at 29.99 euro on Amazon.it and snagged it in a blink of an eye.
Man... how many games are too many?

@RetroGamerAndrew Let me know what you think. I loved, loved, loved FIRE EMBLEM: AWAKENING on 3DS and have bought several other entries in the turn-based/strategy RPG Fire Emblem series. However, this cross-over game needed a Demo on the eShop for me to consider taking a punt on it.

@Lroy will do!

Hyrule Warriors for me, I couldn't wait till may for the EU release so bought the JP one. It runs lovely in handheld and is great to dive back into, I am glad it has been bought over from the Wii U

Fifa 18. Worth it at 50% off.

Got Thimbleweed Park last week and just finished it last night. A fun throwback to the classic Lucasarts point n click adventures.

Odyssey. It's pretty dope yo.

Was kindly treated to both STAR FORCE (Arcade Archives, Hamster) - a vintage arcade Shmup which still plays great to this day. Seemingly underrated and undervalued in its review on this site.

And rogue-like, almost kind of single screen arcade, action platform style indie, FLINT HOOK. Really liking it so far.

Just bought DRAGON BLAZE (latest Psikyo shoot-em-up from ZeroDiv) and BAD DUDES VS. DRAGON NINJA (from the Flying Tiger [is it?]/Johnny Turbo label). The latter is an arcade classic from my youth.

Rogue Aces, Starforce, Dragon Blaze and Bad Dudes.

Rogue Aces looks like it'll be a lot of fun and with it being published by Curve Digital Im sure it will be.

Starforce is a classic and plays as good as it did back then.

Bad Dude is a lot of fun although I'm finding it extremely challenging.

Dragon Blaze is just outstanding. This and Tengai are Psikyo's best.
