So I bought South Park via Amazon and it says it will arrive on Tuesday but I'm starting to think that won't happen considering it supposedly hasn't shipped yet. Either that or it does arrive and the tracker is just wrong.
Check this guy out. He does the Mor Ardain theme song from Xenoblade Chronicles 2.
Dude's freaking jammin! Gosh I love the music in that game

@JaxonH Oh, that's Shady. Been chilling with him for about a year and half now. Great guy. Giving me feedback on some projects, gave me advice towards a guitar of my own I'll eventually get as a leftie, and is generally a sweet guy.

I've seen Amazon get a package to me in a day, so it is still possible believe it or not.
@kobashi100 I hope Bethesda keep supporting the Switch. It will be interesting to see what they bring to the system after Wolfenstein 2. Will be interesting to see whether they mention any of the games they announce this year to be coming to the Switch.

@JaxonH access fees for a format isn’t something that’s often explicitly mentioned in interviews by publishers/devs but I think there’s a few reasons why.
1. It’s incredibly sensitive commercial information. Even if Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft didn’t tell publishers who get a better than normal deal not to talk about it under serious non-disclosure agreements they still wouldn’t typically want to talk about it.
2. The devs (especially those working on big games for big publishers) perhaps don’t always know the ins and outs of these deals.
Their bosses/publishers aren’t necessarily going to be in a rush to share that information with them either in most cases. Especially since it’s big publishers who have the most stark divide between development and commercial teams who are likely to have the leverage to get better deals in the first place.
3. Sometimes we do get comments like ‘Nintendo is offering us great support’. The community often takes that to mean ‘oh it’s easy to develop for’ or ‘Nintendo has helped them with the programming’. They’re clearly doing more than just supplying third party devs with unlimited chocolate biscuits.
I don’t think it’s a stretch to assume that ‘great support’ might sometimes be a euphemism for ‘we’re hardly paying anything to be there so every sale is 99% pure profit’.
...
To make myself clear - I think there’s probably not a lot in it but it is an important tool at the discretion of format holders to entice or encourage particular publishers or to keep them loyal. And it’s one that’s completely invisible to most of the consumers.
...
I actually think the case of the Dark Souls delay has one simple reason: it’s genuinely not ready and they want to optimise it. Yes every preview has said it seems to run great... but if you were taking a piece of software to show would you deliberately choose to show off the bits you hadn’t got running well yet or the bits that look impressive?
Maybe it’s features like the online integration that don’t work yet?
Then again - tin foil hats at the ready now - maybe Nintendo had a big (not yet announced) release scheduled for late summer and that game has slipped so Dark Souls has been moved from a slightly busy period between DKTF and Mario Tennis to plug a newly formed gap in August?
@StuTwo On 3DS and Wii U, lotcheck (The submission process for Nintendo platforms) was free. Not sure about Switch but the frequency at which people seem to submit shows its very low. Then of course we find out how cheap the Switch dev kits are compared to other systems.
Sony has been known to give free development kits to indies, at least back when they cared about indies, who knows about now, but the fees for Sony and Microsoft per submission were set at up to £50,000. It could range obviously, patches were less.
I remember a story about SEGA slipping in a patch for a game breaking bug into some paid DLC for Sonic Unleashed because it was cheaper than submitting the patch alone on PS3 for instance.
There absolutely are back end deals, even some more in the public eye, like that one day March 3rd 2017 price cut of the PS4 Sony didn't "officially" advertise across the EU.

Immortal Redneck will have motion controls on Switch. PushSquare gave it an 8/10, and that was with analog controls.
It looks good. I told them on Twitter I wouldn't buy the game as is, but if they added motion I would buy it day one. And here we are, so I guess I'm getting it.
FPS Rogue-like with decent graphics. That's just intriguing to me

It was kinda borderline for me before, but the motion controls sold me on it. I love motion for aiming. Makes a game a lot more fun. So you throw a already decent game out there and toss motion in, and I'm probably going to buy it.

Crash was the 3rd best selling game in Italy at retail in 2017, ahead of Horizon, GT Sport, and every Nintendo game, despite Nintendo posting record system sales - they just cant compete on software.
Further, here in the UK on Amazon, Spyro and Crash are filling the chart.
Pokken Tournament DX - 97th
Just Dance 2018 - 100th
The good news is unless you shop around this is pretty much the main way to get Nintendo stuff in the UK, as unless it's GAME, you're online, because the high street doesn't care/barely exists anyway!
The bad news is....third party titles are er...yep. FIFA is there, still the lowest selling version. No sign of Dark Souls after the delay. Donkey Kong is really high for what it is, and Crash is well above the Xbox release.
Of course this is just hourly. The bottom of the charts could literally be 10s of copies.

@Nintendoforlife The way that tweet is worded makes me think a "you were expecting this but you were actually wrong" type situation. I don't know, maybe something like this for the last 5 months:
August - Wonderful 101
September - Smash (enhanced Wii U port), Dark Souls Remastered
October - Yoshi, Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE
November - Super Mario 3D World or Super Mario Maker, Nintendo Labo Toy-Con 03 & 04
December - Xenoblade X
I'd be satisfied with that lineup despite a Fire Emblem delay being disappointing.
