See when you have a game card in your Switch,is it always the first game on the home screen?It's just I'm thinking I'll buy FIFA physically as it will likely be 20gb+ and just keep it in there all the time.I don't want it always being the first game I see when I turn my Switch on though.If it will move down the list as I play other games then great,if not I'll just stick with digital only.
@OorWullie It moves down the list like everything else, but seems to jump to the front sometimes. I think it happens after turning the Switch fully off? Can't double check right now.
I noticed earlier that Strikers 1945 doesn't show up in your play activity or even that your playing it.I also noticed on my profile when I'm playing certain games it has some extra info underneath the tile.Puyo Puyo Tetris has your Puzzle League rank and worldwide rank and Namco Museum has what specific game your playing.I wonder why only certain games have that info?
@BLP_Software Much as I hate Sony's monopoly status, I'm still kind of grateful to them for actually securing retail software as a dominant force. Without Sony there's a fair chance we'd all be digital only by now. We actually do owe them quite a bit.
great that Axiom Verge is coming to Switch as retail - never got to play this game. Can't wait - but there are so many good games coming out till Christmas - don't know if I have so much time.
@DarthNocturnal Ah, so the delay is worldwide; I thought maybe it was a UK/Europe thing. Oh well, it's something to look forward to.
@NEStalgia Discs versus carts, I suppose (same reason for the PS4 version being cheaper?). It'll be interesting to see how it sells though. I thought the Multiverse Edition - isn't it limited? - would be jumped on ASAP (by scalpers or otherwise), but hours later and it's still available. Bit surprised by that.
@Monkey_Balls It might be because Nintendo revived Metroid meanwhile when the digital version came out people were complaining about the last real Metroid game being in the 2000s.
It's a shame it's been delayed. I deliberately held off the Wii U release for the inevitable Switch version and I'm really looking forward to playing it.
The high priest of the evangelical church of Metroidvania (Jeremy Parish) thought very highly of it and gave it a fantastic review when it was originally released.
@Grumblevolcano You make a good point about Metroid being revived. Samus Returns is released in September - possible reason for the AV delay? It's only a month either way but that might be relevant to the sales and marketing folk.
@DarthNocturnal Yeah, more good points. I expect a lot of people already have the digital version. Maybe it'll be a slow burner then; however, I have a feeling it might be quite pricey on eBay in a few years. Especially the Wii U version.
Aero Fighters 2 and Strikers 1945 are pure arcade bliss.I absolutely love the pair of them.I just wish Strikers had leaderboards,that's my only complaint.Well that and the fact it doesn't show up in your play activity and the display and difficulty settings don't save but those are minor.I've been playing high score mode on AF2 which is unbelievably addictive.I'm currently 16th on the leaderboards which I'm fairly chuffed with,it was a great run.I've been playing Strikers with continues turned off seeing as there's no high score mode and it's hard to put down.It's as much of a "one more shot" game as ever there was one.Playing it in TATE mode with split Joy-con is as good as it gets.The Joy-con short analogue sticks are great for these games.
I'm so tempted to buy that Hori arcade stick now.Or perhaps I will receive one as a 40th birthday present after enough hints.That would be a perfect 40th gift actually.something to relive the glory days when my best days are truly behind me.
I must say I'm appreciating all these arcade titles much more than I would any VC.Only Dreamcast and Gamecube VC could come close.The reason is I've never played the majority of these games before,they're all new to me.I bet the same can be said for the vast majority of others too.So to anyone complaining about all the old titles on Switch,have you actually played them?
It moves down the list like everything else, but seems to jump to the front sometimes. I think it happens after turning the Switch fully off? Can't double check right now.
If you play a game or insert a cartridge the game will move to the first position. And I do think you're right, it'll also move to the front if you do a full reset with a cartridge in. It makes sense when you think about it, if you're putting a different cartridge in you usually want to play that game. You don't want to be putting a game in and then have to also hunt through a menu to find it.
