So many cool indie games coming out, can barely find time for them all. I'm not 100% sold on this one yet but the reasonable price point has me very tempted to give it a go.
Could've just said next week for a more immediate feeling date, but whatever.
I liked the video but needed to see at least the price to know if I was really interested. The visuals are original but probably not feeling like a 50€ game. I guess this is going to be 15-16 CHF in Switzerland. It's acceptable.
The switch could be an excellent console for shmups
Can an eshop game have a retail price? Why do i think that's wrong?
This has got to be the first game I'm genuinely intrigued to play on my Switch. I already added it to my wishlist last week so, just waiting for it to drop. Very good pricing too, so I can't think of any reason I shouldn't pick it up.
The Japanese would love this game. I know it's a timed exclusive but what other platforms is it coming to when it's time-out. Anybody know???
This is akin to visual flair that PSP games like LocoRoco and Patapon were known for dishing out.
Hope this game is up there in quality too!
Very intrigued by this one. Was holding out for pocket rumble, but given that's been delayed may dive in with this.
saw the video and have to admit it didn't really do much for me. I thought I saw the price at £9.99?
@Mart1ndo How about an eTail price?
Intrigued, but will await Nintendolife's verdict!
Must have.
This is definitely a title Ive been waiting for a release date on , DAY ONE purchase for me I love these types of games, reminds me somewhat of a Pixel Junk game speaking of which would be awesome if they would add the Pixel Junk titles to the Switch.
Don't you mean....NEXT WEEK Will be awesome to play this during my Persona 5 downtime.
@Mart1ndo yes it can, but no this is not one of them...
I am willing to sink my time into this one
Looks good.
Graphically appealing. Gameplay wise I'm not sure.
Looks beautiful, but it needs to get in line behind Snake Pass and Metal Slug. I thought they said there weren't any games on Switch.
Looks nice, but I'm concerned that the lack of distinction between useful or neutral items and enemies might make it difficult to determine what's a threat and what isn't. I like the style, though. I'm a big shooter fan. If the reviews are good, I might buy it to help support the indie community on Switch.
