2: Minecraft: Nintendo Switch Edition (Up from 3rd)
3: Stardew Valley (Up from 4th)
4: Bayonetta 2 (Up from 5th)
5: Rocket League (Down from 2nd)

This has been wild. Bayo still top and DQ Builders re entering while Bayo 2 keeps climbing. Super Mario Odyssey is back, Mario Kart shot up, alongside Sonic Maia and Fe appearing from nowhere. And Pac-Man is charting!

@rallydefault Oooooh and Gwent. Now you've done it. These games would be great for Switch. Needs to have a robust AI for single player though for those times without wifi. I can imagine local play at tournaments and such.

@Shellcore Gwent has a single player, at least, it's planned whenever it gets an ''official'' release.

Wasn't sure where to post this. According to Nintendo Everything post here: https://nintendoeverything.com/last-chance-to-register-physic...

You need to register your physical Switch purchases within 12 months of their street release date. Meaning time is almost up to get Gold coins back for the Switch launch games if this silly rule is in fact true.

If that is true, then gold points are officially worthless.

''Gold Points need to be claimed within one year of the game’s original release date.''

Who thought that was a good idea?

Kills points for preowned games at which point Nintendo would be giving away money for nothing at all. One purchase of a game could be several gold point checks if this doesnt occur and you could game the system.

Imagine...someone buys BOTW, gets the points as its a new game on their account...then sells it. Someone buys that copy, Nintendo sees none of that purchase, but because its a new game on the preowned buyers account...they get points

Solution: Include a one-time-use code in the box. Problem solved. You are already getting screwed over if you buy physical, because it's only 20% of the gold points, and now they expire too. So if anyone buys BOTW next week, it's worth nothing in terms of gold points, even if it's a new game. I wonder why physical is even included in the rewards programme in the first place.

@Octane Well I imagine physical was included because people moaned it was digital only on Wii U and 3DS

That's not what the console shows, when you press start on any full game tile and go down to "My Nintendo Rewards Programme" it says:

"Registration of a game card is possible for two years from the official release date of the game. For software purchases on Nintendo eShop and download code redemptions, you will receive points automatically."

So if it really is changing to 1 year there must be a Switch system update when the new My Nintendo system goes live later this month.

@Grumblevolcano Funny you say that, there's lots of maintenance planned for Monday including with MyNintendo, as well as purchasing on the Nintendo Store. Looks like the new system will be going live on Monday then.

Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Trilogy coming to Switch in Europe on 26th April, but it will be digital only:

I will wait for a patch regarding naruto. Disappointed that the resolution is only 540p undocked

Anyone else heard about the playtime of games going down to zero hours?

https://nintendoeverything.com/switch-profiles-currently-show...

One hour ago, it's Switch's first anniversary in Japan.

Guys, i need help.
I play Portal Knights Switch & i noticed there were 48 Island available.
But, i ONLY Discovered 47 Island including All Vacant Islands. So, what is the 48th Island for Switch version ?
Don't tell me it was Rainbow Island and need Rainbow Relic from DLC Content.
Who play Portal Knights Switch also ?

Don't play Portal Knights, sorry.

In other news, who's seen this? FFXV for Switch? Probably a clerical error... probably.

@Bunkerneath Yes.

@antster1983 Called it

@link3710 Well it comes out on March 6th for PS4/XB1 so that's definitely too short notice for a Switch release.
