I read earlier on Push Square that Steep will be free to play for 1 weekend,the whole game can be accessed I think.Then once the free play period is over,there will be a 50% discount on it.The Switch version looks to still be a good few months off yet so surely Ubisoft won't try to sell us the Switch edition as a full price title? (of course they will)
It seems to be a good game too and the foundations are there for it to be a great one but from what I've read it's sold really poorly.
@OorWullie I think the constant online requirement put a few people off. I know it pushed me to buy Mark McMorris Infinite Air instead. I may get the switch version just because it is portable snowboarding BUT if they keep the online requirement I likely won't.

@Octane I complained about it and said it would have an effect on sales and hilariously enough when I moved I had issues getting internet set up (Yay Centurylink). I would have had a lovely coaster otherwise. Skipped For Honor for the same reason (I was jonesing HARD for that game too, oh well) but Ubi can't punish all of us for their poor DRM methods (I don't mind DRM but there is a good way and a BAD way to do it. Ubi is almost consistently BAD..ACII saves anyone?).

The Sun are going around with their slurry spreader again. Last time it was sex act simulators, now it's this:
YouPorn blames slump in traffic on Nintendo Switch and Zelda launch Porn sites say they suffered a drop in visitors shortly after the Nintendo Switch was launched last week
@Peek-a-boo First party titles are VERY thin until Fall, but there's a few releases that will fill in 2017 in a big way. Yooka Laylee is huge, and should be 2017, probably before fall, Bloodstained (confirmed for Switch now) should be 2017 (then again, it's Iga...),Sonic Mania (Spring). Disgaea, but that's so difficult and so niche....
Fall is when the catalog really explodes (Skyrim, FE Warriors, Mario Odyssey, Project Sonic, whatever 3rd parties come out of E3, etc.)
XC2, My HOPE is that they're localizing it simultaneously and don't have a big delay to release after japan. I found it interesting that "Untitled SMT" (aka SMTV) is now officially on the US Switch games page so it's quietly confirmed we ARE getting SMT (reason to own a switch right there...) we just don't know when (TBD I assume means 2018....or at least "maybe 2017, maybe 2018.")
This may be a tricky subject but in all honesty Nintendo is really slipping when it comes to meeting consumer demand. I work in a production environment and know what it's like to try to keep up with the customers demands, which is why we use a lot of automation (surely Nintendo has lots of it) so if they had had a proper plan in place to gauge customers interest there wouldn't be a shortage. In my area there hasn't been any new 3ds systems since November. I called 3 stores that were within 30 min of me and not one had any switches and they could not tell me when to expect a shipment to arrive. As soon as preorders were over and they produced those they should have already been building up more stock. I find it hard to believe they only have one place of production, probably at least a dozen if not more factories for their products. I don't recall Sony or Microsoft facing stock issues like Nintendo, even after the ps4 launch I could find them pretty much everywhere.
MK8 Deluxe is getting more joke characters, Gold Mario is confirmed to be playable alongside the original MK8 joke characters Metal Mario and Pink Gold Peach. Maybe Baby Waluigi is on the way soon!
Or Foetus Mario! Can't have enough Mario.

@Seacliff Well I think Nintendo's logic is probably that people will still be playing BotW a lot in April. Unless you rush through the story, I could see BotW potentially having hundreds of hours of gameplay.
@Grumblevolcano
Yea, that is definitely their thought pattern. I don't think they're too far off. I'm probably 20-30 hours in Zelda now, and I'm only on my second dungeon. Probably 30ish of the shrines. There's just SO MUCH to do with finding the Koroks, equipment upgrades, memories, etc. I played for 3 hours last night in portable and basically made it halfway up Death Mountain lol
Well i'm about at 20hrs and i: did not do any big dungeon, only 14 Shrines, no memories, still doing Necluda (East), just upgraded the Sheikah Slate at the researchers, did not beat any Guardian yet (my gear is still not good enough). So yeah, this game will take me really a lot of time to finish it. Maybe i'll still be playing it in the summer!
I'm gonna be really bummed when I finish Zelda. Not happening any time soon, but it's always kinda depressing to finish a game, especially a Zelda game, since they don't come very often. Oh well, at least I'll have Horizon and maybe Andromeda to play through. I still need to play Mass Effect 2 and Fallout 4, as well.
Super hyped for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. That game can't come soon enough.
