@Scrummer Mario Odyssey was probably also a more common present than BotW over the holidays especially as there were actual Mario Odyssey hardware bundles.

@gcunit Does that also include digital sales? Because digital has SKYROCKETED current gen and didn't exist at all in past gens. Something tells me including $10 indie games, that attach rate is very much not right....

@YummyHappyPills On a single platform, without micro-transactions, and with a budget that dwarfs in comparison to that of BFII.

Super Mario Odyssey hit 9.07m units on Switch.

Star Wars Battlefront 2 hit just shy of 7m shipped on PC, PS4 and Xbox One.

I believe in this instance we can all agree that good, EA has been stung for being prats with the license.

@Octane with costumes you can just buy with in-game currency. Apparently that's rare now.

@Scrummer You can include me in that! I'm happy with my games selection right now and don't really feel any pressing need to add to it at the moment - Odyssey is sitting pretty at the top of my backlog though (and I'm looking forward to getting stuck in to it one day) ..but I'm in no rush - a great game will still be a great game a few months after its initial release after all

@NaviAndMii Maybe I'm too old to get "social gaming" I play games to be anti-social! Maybe "social gamers" aren't really "gamers" but their own thing. People talk about wanting to talk to friends like a phone service on their console and play with friends....I thought that was real life? Which I play games explicitly to escape from because I can't afford one of Bezos' flights to Mars. Maybe I can get a Prime discount on that.

Then even grizzled old Thanos is into social play. Sea of Theives looks interesting..but it still seems like the same meandering sandbox type thing. The idea of connected play could be cool, like MH, with actual goals to team up on (or PVP competition)....but connected play to "do stuff". Play golf. Why would I fire up a video game about thug life to play a mediocre golf minigame? I'm clearly not the audience...but I wish I could understand the mindset of the audience (Wow, 4 new pages since this....thread moves fast!)

I decided to try if I can add money on Japanese eShop account. I heard it's not possible but I had to see it for myself. And yes, I couldn't. While I was on the Japanese eShop, I noticed that Japan just got Crypt of the Necrodancer. It wasn't in the coming soon list last Thursday. I wonder if we'll get it soon as well.

@Grumblevolcano I'm more happy that settings things like that are available without needing to buy a PS4 Pro or Xbox One X first.

Don't know why they ARENT on the base hardwares, but whatever.

Doesn't that put people using quality mode at a disadvantage when playing online?

Haruki_NLI

@IceClimbers Yes.

Then again I can also play PUBG at sub-competitive FPS on my PC.

It's a thing you activate via an option and you know what you are getting into if you go online with those modes. The game isn't giving you a disadvantage in this case by force, rather you are choosing to play online with a disadvantage.

@Late Just get a JPN eshop card from an online retailer. No game storefront does currency conversion.

Bleh, if only Death Road to Canada came out on Switch sooner. xD
Also, I missed the Rocket League news, I don't actually own a game that does this....but I do like that it gives you the option.

I'll be getting that tomorrow along with Sky Force Reloaded. I might pre-purchase Dandara too while there's still a discount on it. I would prefer to read a review first but there I've read some positive impressions on it so I might take the risk.

A reminder of a title that's coming on February:

On 17/2/2018, The battle between Heaven and Hell is about to break loose, and you are the only one who can stop it from happening. Play as Bayonetta, and use your Bullet Arts and Umbra powers such as Witch Time and Wicked Weaves and unleash mayhem on your enemies, and execute them using Torture Attacks.

Features:

  • Engage in a fight against armies of Angels and Demons as Bayonetta, at home or on-the-go with Nintendo Switch.
  • While on portable mode, use the touch screen to quickly execute combos.
  • Bayonetta 2 Tag Climax Co-op: Play with a friend either through local wireless or online and fight enemies together.
  • Bayonetta 2: place certain Amiibo figures on NFC area on right Joy-Con to equip Bayonetta with costume based on the character of that Amiibo.

Note: with the exception of the video, this piece of typing is made by yours truly.

Making promise is easy. The hard part is keeping it.

If I get another Switch game, it'll be Hyrule Warriors...Only downside to preparing for a computer upgrade, it's costly and I can't buy many games.

....Then again MH World will likely not be out on PC till towards the end of the year, so maybe starting to save up now is not the best idea...? >.>

Ugh, this sucks, I haven't even played Mario Odyssey yet! >.<

Neither Bayo game is listed on the US eShop yet lol.

Anyways, I caved in on Doom.
