@Joeynator3000 Depends what PC parts ya want to upgrade...

Only downside to grabbing Doom digitally is that huge download.

On a side note buying a 64GB card instead of a 128GB card is easily my biggest Switch regret.

So amazingly Bayonetta 1 is 8.5gb and Bayometta 2 is 12.4gb.

A nice 20.9GB of my SD Card gone

@YummyHappyPills All of it, most of it is a old....plus the motherboard is damaged. lol (lightning got to it some time ago and a few ports don't work well or at all)

Anyways when does Hyrule Warriors come out again? February right?

@Joeynator3000 As far as I know the release date is just 'spring' so far

@Joeynator3000
Confirmed for March, but only in Japan thus far. Haven't yet told us when it's releasing in the west

Ah well, I did trade in the Wii U version of Bayonetta 1 and 2 anyways. So I was already planning getting the Switch version of that. So I'll keep an eye on it and see if a sale happens or something.

But yeah I wanted to give Hyrule Warriors another chance, the Wii U one had...issues that made grinding a nightmare. Apparently the balance issues were fixed in the 3DS game and I'm guessing are being carried over to the Switch. Also I never got around to any of the DLC. xD

It's wonderful that most if not all of the good Wii U games will be likely on Switch in a year or so.

I'd pay $100 bucks for a Xenoblade X port to the Switch.

@DarthNocturnal
Microsoft doesn't seem to have any issue working for “free“ with XB1 backwards compatibility

No, they don't. But that's because A it's as simple as repackaging the file as x86, and B they are desperate to gain traction lost this generation. And that's their God-given choice to do so, but just because they made a conscious choice to play their cards in such manner doesn't mean every company will. Make no mistake, that's an absolute metric ton of money they are losing on games that could have been sold instead, even if repackaging them took little effort and low cost (which will not necessarily be the case for other companies)

I'd rather have the original Xenoblade on Switch instead, maybe as a remake/HD port. I didn't like X as much.

@Azooooz

You'll have to get up earlier in the morning.

@Joeynator3000 Oh that's mean. Now I want XCHD on Switch...badly. But hey...why not both?

I'd sell a kidney for X.

I wouldn't buy X again it was released for a special MyNintendo price of 100 gold coins plus 20 quid cash. Straight swap for gold coins and I may consider it. Xenoblade Chronicles HD however, that's a different story.

XCX port meanwhile XC comes via Nintendo's VC replacement for Switch.

I'd probably double dip on XCX just to choose another class/faction and use different party members. I feel like too many people skipped out on such a fantastic game(maybe the weakest in the Xenoblade series, but still).

@Grumblevolcano Xenoblade needs a proper HD remaster. That game is too good to have such bad graphics lol.

Anyone waiting for Hollow Knight? I'm trying out more Metroidvanias soon to get ready for it.

X is still my favourite in the series solely because the gameplay focus suits me more than the story focus of 1 and 2.

Plus I think the way combat works is far more rewarding than the stand still and chain button presses together while neutering the basis of arts of XC2.

I still haven't touched much of that game and I doubt I ever will.
