What was that Lucina bride costume and all that released in December?

@JaxonH Lucina bride costume was season pass preorder bonus and December was Fates.

Almost forgot Bayonetta releases. It'll be my first time with the game, I can't wait.

Axiom Verge and both RE Revelations games are on sale on the US eShop for $13.99.

Wish I had the space for Revelations 2 right now!

Thanks for the heads up...I may pick up a eshop card.

@Ryu_Niiyama Now that's a proper Ryu avatar! Your last one was a little umm...static!

@GrailUK Aww y'all always make me feel like a part of the community with the fact that y'all notice when I change them. I need to raid the interwebz and update my stash. I only keep them on my work computers (cuz i spend my time up here when im at work...bad Ryu I know) so I lost a good stash when I moved. Didn't like them playing DS systems? I'm going to skip my normal response and not change it since you commented on it.

Should I feel bad that I'm tempted to buy Bayo because of the reversible cover?

Man Says Switch Helped Him Find A Tumor In His Hand

This story could be helpful to others. I wonder if you could run the Joy-Con's over other parts of the body to detect tumours.

I guess one of the unseen benefits of Nintendos very rectangular design

I won't spoil the score. 9/10

Candleman Devs Targeting 4K@60FPS on PS4 Pro and Xbox One X; Nintendo Switch Port Coming

Some videos.

Announcement trailer for Steam.

And accolades trailer.

It looks gorgeous and the reviews are great. It's received a lot of praise.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE I'm going to be happy if this is all the Switch gets for the life of the system going forward. Sure AAA games are nice and all but I really just want to play good games and the Switch doesn't lack good games in the slightest.

It's to the point I can't keep up anymore though. After what happened with the Wii U and begging for games I can't even play all the games I want on the Switch. I'm still playing games from 6 months ago and barely touched half the games I bought last year.

@Spoony_Tech Agreed. I still haven't bought all of the games I wanted from last year, yet alone played them.

Luckily the schedule through May is relatively light on games I'm interested in picking up right off the bat... or at least major games.

Trailer for Nippon Marathon, coming in the autumn. So Japanese it was developed in Birmingham, UK.

I think it's a possibility that Nintendo saves the Direct for the end of March (i.e. 28th/29th). 20 million Switch sales in the next fiscal year is easier when big announcements come right at the end of the current fiscal year so they may just settle with something like announcing Hyrule Warriors Definitive Edition for April and the usual promotion of stuff like indies, Kirby and DLC via social media for the rest of March.

New Game Announcement from SWERY - "The Missing"

It'll be published by Arc System Works in the West and he says it'll "blow your mind". No clear release date other than a vague 2018.

@Grumblevolcano I have been wondering if there will be an indies Direct prior to the next big games Direct, like they did 2 last year. That's a good way of generating some hype and interest around the Switch.

I find the current variety in the UK eshop chart quite pleasing. Only a snapshot, but it does help indicate that all types of game are welcome:

Wow!

Bayonetta on Switch is a dream! It looks and plays just as good, maybe even better than Wii U, all in the palm of your hand.

Seriously, this is a dream come true. I remember playing this game on Wii U, and playing on the gamepad and thinking how awesome it would be to have the real full game on an actual handheld in high definition... and here we are.

This game is a masterpiece. Straight up masterpiece. Another notch in the ol' Switcheroo belt.

Nintendo Switch UK eShop Charts - February 17th 2018

1: Bayonetta (NEW)
2: Rocket League
3: Minecraft: Nintendo Switch Edition
4: Stardew Valley
5: Celeste
6: FIFA 18
7: Golf Story
8: Oxenfree
9: Overcooked: Special Edition
10: Enter The Gungeon
11: Arcade Archives: VS. Super Mario Bros.
12: Worms W.M.D
13: Human Fall Flat
14: Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle
15: Dragon Quest Builders

Usual suspects. Interesting to see Bayonetta 2 isn't charting, BUT I suspect that is largely due to Bayonetta 1 being digital only here, and people getting it not only on it's own, but with physical copies.
