That Aqua Moto Racing and Snow Moto Racing looks legit.
Saw it when it hit other platforms but was distracted with other stuff. Could be interested for Switch if they're good enough. Handheld WaveRace sounds awesome...

Two Kickstarters have opened today - info from Nintendo Everything - one for Hex Gambit (a strategy game that has been featured on this site before), and Metroidvania game Demoniaca: Everlasting Night. Hex Gambit's goal of $11,000 will see it released on Steam 'n' Switch next April. Demoniaca is now in the second stage of funding and required $30,000 to be released on Steam, Windows, Mac and Linux next year, however there is a stretch goal of $100,000 for a Switch version, with the other consoles to be considered with future stretch goals.
Rayman is also one of those games you don't want to not have. And while it was available on Vita, most people didn't own one and those who did have mostly moved on. Having Rayman Legends on Switch is awesome. I only wish Origins came too.
On another note, I have something I wanted to share, as it reflects on how everyday people are reacting to Switch.
So, I've already mentioned I have several coworkers who bought one, and an incredible number of others considering it. Well, this engineer I work with- Anthony, he's been slowly warming up to it. Traditionally an Xbox gamer, loves competing in games like Rocket League, etc. Ever since he first saw mine, he's been interested, and finally decided to buy one, but he's waiting until he's quit smoking long enough to "cover" the cost so his wife is ok with it.
Said he called his brother, and told him he was gonna buy a Switch, and his bro is a big Call of Duty player, and was like "ya... I've thought about it but, Idk..." A week later his bro calls him back and was like man, my CoD buddy came by with a Switch, and all he does now is play Splatoon. We played all weekend. I'm at Shopko right now getting a Switch. If you want one I can grab an extra for you!"
So, his bro went from "ya... Idk" to "I'm at the store buying one right now!" in one weekend. I told my friend Splatoon 2 is crack. Once you start you'll never stop.
Pretty much sums up the interest I've observed. So... It's looking good. Real good.

@JaxonH Reminds me of a friend of mine who told me he was considering buying a Switch, but thought it was too expensive. A week later he showed up with a Switch. Proceeded to tell me MK8 was too expensive at €60. A week later again, and he had a copy of MK8.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE That whole time I spent playing Minecraft the other week, I didn't hook it up to the TV once. I'm not exactly in awe of Minecraft's graphics anyhow.
I've never owned a copy of Skyrim, so I feel like buying it is justified if I want to play it again. Rayman Legends, on the other hand, I own on Wii U. Gotta follow my no-double-dipping rule.
@Octane@JaxonH
Lol - yea, I've had a similar experience. I have an old friend from high school that I still get to see a few times a year, and this guy has always been 100% NO Nintendo. He builds PCs and always gamed on Xbox for his console. Actively made fun of Nintendo whenever we'd talk about games for as long as I can remember him.
My wife and I went down to spend a day at his pool, and lo and behold: he has a Switch, loves it, and is proclaiming BotW as one of the best games he's ever played. (He even bought it for 100 bucks over retail on EBay lol) To say I was a little shocked doesn't even begin to cover it. Strangely enough, he enjoys playing it undocked and propped while using the Joycon in each hand, which is something I would never do unless I was on a train or plane. But more power to him!
@JaxonH Weird how Splatoon 2 has that effect. My nephew was intrigued by the idea, but he wasn't that excited about it, but after playing my copy for a few hours, he was moaning about how he wished he had the money for a Switch, lol. Unfortunately he's only 13, and thus can't really afford a 400 CAD console, on top of the games and Pro controller and whatnot, but I'm sure he would own one right now if money wasn't an issue.
Thinking about whether I should help kickstart Hex Gambit. Game actually seems kinda cool.

I was addicted to Rayman Legends challenges back in the day, but I still don't really feel like buying the game again. I doubt there's too much of an audience left for it by now, in fact, but considering how many platforms Rayman 2 has been on (launch title for DS and 3DS!), I don't suppose that's going to stop them.
Speaking of which, I don't think Rayman 2 is even that good. Perhaps it was good by the standards of the time, but I found it rather meh when I finally played it. I guess it may be kinda like Super Mario 64 in that way, except without the part where it's the best speedrun game ever.
@Zyrac
I think, for me, there's 2 reasons why I'm buying Rayman Legends again. For one, it's an excellent game, and I want as many excellent games consolidated on my new "play everywhere, home or away, with me 24/7" Switch.
For two, I want a good platformer to play on the go, and few are better than Rayman. Its just one more option to choose from every day when I pull my Switch out, and I like options.

@JaxonH Do you really need option number 45 though lol. I'm assuming that's how many Switch games you already have. Never saw you turn down a good game!

It's like a book lover and his personal library... does he need one more book? Well, no...
Want on the other hand? [nods furiously]

Is it just me, or does the Switch's wireless signal improve when it is docked? Playing Splat2n in handheld is spotty unless I move closer to the router, but when docked I have no issues at all. Even though it's in roughly the same position I normally play in handheld.
Well, it's the third time it's happened. And I have pictures!
This time, I'm sure it was never docked nor plugged in at any point in the process. And it won't go away until I power it on.
And here's the really weird part: my phone's mobile hotspot still had it listed under "connected devices." So it's giving out a wireless signal, despite being "turned off." Why?
The Switch's WiFi seems pretty bad tbh. I literally can be like less than 20 ft from my router and will experience issues with the signal on my Switch. I've never really had this issue before. Even so, it's become awful because I keep having lag and disconnects with Splatoon due to a poor signal even though I'm not to far from my router.
