Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

I can't wait for Bayonetta next month since I'm one of the few that has yet to play it on any platform.

Other than that, Kirby has my attention on the Switch front. Hopefully we get a date for Octopath Traveler soon, cuz that looks like it'll be an amazing first SE RPG for me on the Switch

@Grumblevolcano Isn't this the... like eighth time they announced a patch was going to fix everything? I'm not saying it won't work, but I'm not holding my breath either.

@Octane If it was Labo, how would that relate to Ubisoft though? Unless it has a connection to that Atlas game... but they've never said anything about that, have they?

The Secret of Mana Remake is Being Considered for the Nintendo Switch
_{Also, the Seiken Densetsu collection might get an English release. Keep wishing upon that magic tree}

Oh man, the Mana collection being localized would be YUGE!

@link3710 343 did state last year that the XB1 OS was a big part of the problem before. That has largely improved since the last MCC patch which if I recall correctly was in fall 2015.

Does that Mana Collection have Legend of Mana? Because if so then I'm reaaaaaaaaally hyped!

Impossible. Sony paid Square Enix to keep it off the Switch

I've heard amazing things about SoM, so the remake has had my eye. If it can be played on Switch, I'd be very happy

@Octane Oh sure ..and, y'know, if @Fight_Teza_Fight has seen plenty that he likes (on PS4 at least) who am I to argue? ..they're just not hitting the spot for me just yet (..and I so wanted to like MH World too! ..it looks gorgeous! ..but having watched a few video reviews, I can just tell that it wouldn't be for me, unfortunately )

Personally though, I'm still waiting for a game (on any platform) to really grab me and say 'welcome to 2018!' ..I doubt it'll be too long before something does, but I sort of feel like we're kind of stuck in limbo at the moment! (..for the types of game that'd interest me anyway)

Wild Guns RELOADED is coming to the Nintendo Switch in both North America and Europe this Spring.

Dead Cells Announcement Trailer - Nintendo Switch

Dead Cells is coming to Nintendo Switch! Dead Cells is a rogue-lite, metroidvania action-platformer. You'll explore a sprawling, ever-changing castle... assuming you’re able to fight your way past its keepers in 2D souls-lite combat. No checkpoints. Kill, die, learn, repeat.

I'm a sucker for such detailed pixelated art styles.

Does this mean it's leaving early access?

Anyway, I've heard good things about Dead Cells, so it seems like a great addition to the library.

IGN gave their first 10/10 for this year to Celeste. I can already see why even though I just started playing it.

I can't say I've heard much of Celeste. Is there anything in particular about it that's making it super popular like the story? Or just in general a very well made game

@MisterPi As I said, I haven't played much yet. I've only finished the first chapter but so far the things I enjoy are its game mechanics, level design and music. I missed one collectible in the first chapter (two paths, I apparently chose progress) but I decided I'd pick it up later because I can already see myself playing the game again as soon as I've finished it.

A couple of video reviews for Celeste.

It sounds great. It's just for me when I see these pixelated graphics I kind of sigh a little, that's just me. It's reviewing very well so far, 94% from 6 reviews on Metacritic.

Multiple RETAIL games are on sale now for the eShop, like Doom, ARMS, and Mario + Rabbids. Pick them up if you're interested!

It's already on the front page for the download page of this week, but it's still worth mentioning.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE To be fair, Celeste was originally designed for PICO-8 so it kind of has an excuse for the visual style. I'm personally not tired of pixel art, possibly because I like to make some myself but I can see why others might be.
