@OorWullie ill grab retromania day 1 for sure.

@OorWullie
Ya that looks good too, and will probably be picking it up digitally in a sale, but I think it’s maybe a tad too old school to sate what I’m looking for as my go to wrestler. I also really like playing as known wrestlers (that’s half the fun, at least to me). Obviously a game like that can’t afford such licensing so it’s totally understandable, but it’s a con nonetheless.

I just want that N64 experience again, but with more modernized graphics. I had high hopes for WWE 2K18, and I knew it was more of a SIM but there wasn’t really anything else coming out on the system, so it was that or nothing. Then it went up in flames. And to this day there’s been nothing since. Battlegrounds seems to be exactly what I’ve been looking for. It just needs to run well without being a bug nest, and have responsive, rewarding controls.

@gcunit

It definitely looks good. Muramasa: The Demon Blade, but with a gorgeous 3D presentation and farming elements.

@Ralizah It defiantly looks good no doubt, and I would get the special edition if I didn't want Paper Mario

can i download a switch game from eshop twice, when i buy it.

@Ninfan when you buy it. You can download it or then delete it as many times you want.

@LetsaGO so i couldn't download it so one micro sd card and keep it there then take that card out of the switch, then put in another card and download it and keep it on that card too?

@Ninfan you can put it on as many different sd cards you want but why would you want to do that. It just doesn’t make any sense.

@LetsaGO someone on here was looking for games. I was just wondering if it worked.

You CANNOT
You can only buy eshop game ONCE

Well, if you have 2 systems to download it onto .... I can't imagine any other reason for doing that

@Ninfan
Yes, you can.

@BruceCM
Couple reasons I’ve done it for are backup (keeping a spare microSD with downloaded games as backup in case something happens to the other- can also just store on PC), or, needing to swap between 2 cards due to one being full, but wanting access to certain games regardless of which SD is inserted at the time (like SNES app).

I suppose that's similar enough, @JaxonH.... I'm managing with 1 sd card, just not keeping all the games I've finished on there

Ever since Ghost Recon Breakpoint's financial disaster Ubisoft's support of the Switch has been reduced. I wouldn't expected any Switch announcements during today's Ubisoft Forward digital event outside of Just Dance 2021, along with release dates for Roller Champions and Gods & Monsters. Although...a sequel to Mario + Rabbids would be nice.

I’m not expecting anything from any major 3rd party aside from a few sparse 7th gen ports. Their games are all chasing the AAA crowd now. They have no room for trying to include Switch for major 3rd party games. New Splinter Cell? You best believe Switch won’t be a part of it. And, who can blame them. Look how few cared about Sniper Elite III (the closest stealth equivalent on Switch) despite how amazing the game and port was. I doubt anybody would care about Splinter Cell either. The Wii U version of Blacklist was incredible, launched day and date, and did like 10-20k copies. It bombed on other platforms to but still did at least 10x the numbers of Wii U.

That’s the reality of realistic games in the Nintendo fanbase. And so I must resign myself to accepting things as they are. Even hoping for a port of Splinter Cell Blacklist is too much. Far Cry 3? That’s seems to be too much. Assassins Creed Ezio Collection? That seems to be too much.

We’ll probably see another Mario Rabbids though. Eventually. I suppose we should be thankful for that at least.

They should release that greek gods game on Switch. It looks well suited.

We might well hear about Gods & Monsters later & that was coming to Switch .....

@Dezzy
They are. It was announced for switch when they first revealed it.

Unfortunately it doesn’t look like it’s that good, according to the Stadia leak. Seemed to have very floaty controls. Didn’t appear as if they had put their top talent on it. They did say it was from the creator of assassin‘s creed Odyssey, so that does give me some hope. We’ll see I guess.

@Magician I agree. I looked up Just Dance 2021 and it said it was revealed on August 25, 2020 at Gamescon 2020 🧐. It also says it'll be on these consoles: Wii, Xbox One, PS4, Switch, Wii U, Xbox 360, and Google Stadia worldwide. I don't know why their still doing it on the WiiU!!!

@Dark_Magician That's not a real announcement, it's just people making up game reveals. Honestly I think Just Dance this year is going to be Just Dance 2020 being supported for longer via the Just Dance Unlimited subscription service or maybe just the release of a standalone Just Dance Unlimited app.
