ProGear in Capcom Arcade Stadium is probably the best game in the whole package.

Developed by Cave and published by Capcom, it's one of their only horizontal shooters (all the rest are vertical). It's also the only Cave shooter with a rewind function on Switch thanks to Capcom Arcade Stadium's features.

Game is absolutely fire.

Feeling a bit overwhelmed with the lineup again, I spent the weekend focusing on the Splatfest because I needed Super Sea Snails and now in the very near future you have stuff like Tunic (tomorrow) and Nier Automata (10 days away) while I'm only on Chapter 2 of DioField Chronicle. Not to mention that most of my attention will be on Xenoblade Chronicles 3 when wave 2 DLC releases on October 14th (timing appears to be very late evening October 13th for NA, very early morning October 14th for UK, etc.).

@JaxonH God I miss CPS2/3, some of the best pixel art in video game history was birthed from that chip (literally anything from Street Fighter Alpha/3 is spectacular).

ProGear is definitely one I'm considering though. Final Fight was really the only game I desperately wanted from CAS (though I am very much interested in Captain/Bionic Commando as well) but I'll definitely keep PG in mind along with it (especially when it's a horizontally oriented shmup rather than a vertical one. I think the only other game I've played like that would be Fantasy Zone?).

@Grumblevolcano
I feel you.

I finished Xenoblade 3 already, but I got Trails From Zero collector edition today (a day early, yay!). Tunic and Life Is Strange tomorrow. Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak Title Update 2.0 on Thursday. Nier Automata a week after that. No Man's Sky the day after that. Mario Rabbids 12 days after that. Persona 5 Royal the day after that. And Bayonetta 3 a week after that.

It is a bit overwhelming.

Splatoon 3s been a good game to get an hour in everyday then focus on the backlog. So im currently playing matches every night, then some Luigis Mansion 1 since it's getting close to that time of year. Depending on when I finish LM1, I'll probably have time for Nier along with Splatoon 3 all the way up until rabbids 2 or bayo 3. I still don't know which one I want to get day 1.

Agreed. Lately I’ve been playing a decent chunk of Splatoon 3 and then I go on to Fire Emblem Three Houses.

I wonder when Switch 15.0.0 will happen, generally we get 2 major system updates a year where the first is in March/April and the second is in September but September is coming to a close.

Best deal for Switch EVER!!!

Nintendo Switch OLED for $286 on Amazon via Amazon UK Global. Free Shipping means it's $302 shipped after tax if you're in a state like mine with 5.5% sales tax.

You'll just need a US power supply which is super cheap. And you likely already have one.

Go go go!

edit

The Neon OLED is even $2 cheaper at $284!!! Comes to $299.66 after 5.5% sales tax (will vary by state, obviously). Use your Amazon VISA to earn another 5% back on purchase.

That's a grand total of $84 off MSRP + tax after discount and CC rewards

Although I'm not the biggest Switch collector on this site, today's Amazon delivery should put me over 1k games in the Switch physical collection. Over the past five years I've been cycling games in and out of my physical collection. I probably would be the biggest collector for the platform on this site if I didn't do that, but I prefer keeping those games I enjoy playing (and intend to play again) rather than just having a box sit on a shelf.

-sigh-

I have never loved, and at the same time, hated a gaming console as much as I do the Switch.

Why did the joy-cons build quality have to be such garbage?

Skyrim for Switch got a massive update and the Anniversary Edition DLC is now available to buy.

Love that it is dlc. Will pick up next payday. I guess I will start an un modded run on switch soon.

No problems on my end.

Man, I think I'm getting sucked back into Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak. Checked out the Title Update 2 content, and Holy moly there's so much new stuff added between Title Update 1 and 2.

Like, there's more content for post game then there was in the main story of Sunbreak. There's Afflicted Monster Investigations, a shop that sells rare mantles for Afflicted Coins, there's Qurios Crafting for armor with a whole RNG system (already got +19 Defense on an armor piece at the cost of losing 1 pt in Focus... done), Qurios Crafting for weapons with a whole slot mechanic, there's layered weapons now that work exactly like layered armor, there's new Master Rank Event Quests, new Follower Quests, new Support Survey Quests, new Anomoly Quests, Anomoly Investigations that rank up to Level 120 now, there's new Urgent Quests, like 7 new monsters- Lucent Nargacuga, Gold Rathian, Silver Rathalos, Seething Bazelguese, Risen Chameleos, Flaming Espinas and Violet Mizutsune, there's a new Arena with Forlorn Arena recreated from the 3rd gen...

And that's on top of all the content that already existed in the game from launch, which was like 250 Quests. It's overwhelming and I love it. Took down an Afflicted Great Izuchi and it was so much fun.

Oh, and armor can now be upgraded even further, and there's awesome new DLC layered armor. I'm rockin this Fall setup but with shades instead of a scarf, and it goes hard

'Grats on the 1k - that's quite the milestone. I'm nearly as impressed by the fact you've kept track of the number as I am in awe of the library you must have. I would like to know how big mine is, but can't find the time to catalogue it properly, and mine is likely no more than a third of yours.

Who here is a bigger Switch collector than you, do you think?

Also interested to know if your collecting of Switch games is mirrored by your collecting of Switch hardware. I currently have 8 different models.

You guys had me at blood and semen.

What better way to celebrate than firing something out of the pipe?

@shinobi87 Thank you for sharing that Argos tip and link. Only spotted it late tonight but they're still accepting orders so hopefully I'll get one.

Edit: I see Amazon UK are taking pre-order a for it as well now.
