@link3710 Game Awards date has been announced today, it's happening December 12th. Don't see any official confirmation for Smash DLC reveals on that day though so I guess it's just a prediction.

November 2019 in his reveal says hi.

Yep the line up is crazy and for me has got even crazier as 2 more games I really want have come out of nowhere. First, Blasphemous, a game I hadn't even heard of 3 days ago but am now struggling to resist clicking the 'Proceed to Purchase' button. Then, just to make matters worse, the Amnesia Collection, a series I've long heard about as being the gold standard for horror games and had no idea was coming to Switch is 'Out Today'. I think I can hold off on this one though as I've still got Observer to play. Blasphemous though has my name on it.

I'm not really complaining by the way, I love it. Keep em coming.

@JaxonH yea j hear you. Alot going on in a short amount of time makes it hard to give attention to all games, or be hyped for that matter. Links awakening is just different and special. I won't be able to play it day 1 either, which stinks but it's a bday present from the family so I'll have to wait til my bday on the 28th. Having just finished astral chain, I'm trying to decide if I wana start my play through of creature in the well and another eshop game(jet kave adventure or Sydney Hunter), or just re-sub to nso and play snes games. Can't decide which route to take atm. But considering i would only sub for snes games, it may not make much sense with how much is about to drop in a week and onwards.

@link3710 Nah the tga thing was a hunch, considering Joker happened to be revealed there and P5 was nominated for a ton of awards there

DOOM 2016 had a lot of presence at The Game Awards the year prior to Persona 5, as it won best action game, best music/sound design and was nominated for best studio direction and game of the year overall

DOOM would resonate with that type of audience

So supposedly (and take it with a grain of salt as the source is a Youtuber who says they can see a prompt for it because of their review copy), the game is coming with a higher resolution texture pack as free dlc at launch.

Is anyone playing Sydney Hunter? I saw NL's review but I kind of like hearing what users think about games too. If anyone played it and has some thoughts on it, please share.

@DarkRula But then I would still need to manually update it. That shouldn't be needed when there is already a program doing it for me. I just want to see the info!

@JaxonH If I set it up now, would it have the data from before I set it up?

@NintendoByNature
Ya if SNES is your only reason, I’d pass. Unless $20 is impulse territory, then go for it. Me, I’d get it for the safety net of cloud saves and online access with SNES just being a bonus, but if that’s not a selling point for you, I can’t see it being worthwhile with all the other games releasing.

@link3710
That’s freaking AWESOME! Confirmed in the comments that GRID Autosport asks if you want to download a high res texture pack when launching the game, but you can’t download until the game releases. That’s on top of the excellent graphics already on display. Holy moly, they’re putting each and every racer on Switch to utter shame! Gear Club? To shame! V-rally? To shame! Bigben Interactive as a whole? To. Utter. Shame!

@Heavyarms55
I have no idea, as I don’t really use it much. Someone here said no, that it only tracks from the moment you set it up forward, and I think they’re right. As I recall, it only started tracking my hours after I installed the app. But hey, nothing you can do about that. Just start tracking now and you’ll be good going forward.

@JaxonH yea that's my only selling point right now. Maybe November I might re-sub when things slow down for me gaming wise. After LM3 and Mario and sonic

@JaxonH I'll just have to send a message to myself in 2017 and tell him to set the app up then.

@Heavyarms55 At least you wouldn't have to load a game up just to see its playtime unless you were intending to play it. Though loading into 100+ games and inputting times into a speadsheet is probably a lot taller of a task than doing it for ten then keeping on top of it from that point on.

Folders and time regestrations is all I need

Yay! I fixed it!

£1.17 for a new ribbon cable. 10 minutes finger fiddling. Job done.

Chrom, Inciniroar and simon belmont amiibo are up for preorder in America at Best Buy. Amazon looks to already be sold out.

Anyone know how to open the Suspend menu on the SNES app while using a single joy con?

@gcunit probably the little buttons on top of the joycon?

@StableInvadeel Don't think so. When I first opened the app with a sideways joy con it gave me a prompt to press + and (what would be if it were in normal orientation) one of the X or A button to confirm in menus, but that doesn't seem to get me the menu in the first place, and the S buttons aren't doing anything either.
