Microïds Confirms Six Games for the Nintendo Switch

booooring

Microïds? Man, that name takes me back...

I can get behind some of these. Curious about the racing sim.

Actually dl'ing Gear Club now. I won't get into it too much as I like my buttons but it will give me that overall view that I need.

New games? Mostly not. Just the last game and that's not taxing nor looks very interesting. The others if budget priced could be interesting.

Gear.club has me feeling Project CARS all over again, but the actual game footage (1:05-1:06) does not seem that polished. But will track it for sure.....

I'll be picking up the Siberia Trilogy, & maybe Flashback & Gear Club!!

I don't know anything about Gear.Club but I am very excited about a normal, real looking racing for the Switch (don't get me wrong, I love Mario Kart too!!). I just hope it has a good single player mode and does not forces you to be online to play (since it comes from smart devices where it is rather common unfortunately). This would be a deal breaker for me. And I really want to enjoy this game!
A friend of mine would be very pleased about Syberia 1 & 2 but he does not have Switch...

@bluedogrulez polished? the video is from the mobile version.

If they're reasonably priced I will probably pick up the Siberia trilogy. I recall hearing good things about it back in the day.

@OrigamiSquirtle I think you havent played any of those games. Flashback is a very good game.

A realistic racing game on a Nintendo platform, eh? If we get burned again I think I might go slightly mad.

I'll give the Siberia trilogy a go.

@bluedogrulez @LuckyLand @SuperVirtualBoy Just got done doing 2 races on my phone. Steering is done by gyro but works well and so far there's a ton of options. I think this will fill a nice void Nintendo has been lacking for years! Games looks good not great but let's see what they can do with buttons and a tv screen.

A racing sim om switch, count me in for that!!

I absolutely loved Flashback (on the Genesis and the SNES) back in the day, and I haven't read anything about the remaster. I'll have to look into that. The others I can take or leave, but it's always good to have more choices on the system.

Siberia 1 and blacksad seem to be interesting. Siberia reminded me of yokos song siberian dollhouse. Has siberia a history of producing dolls or something like that?

Siberia Trilogy looks very interesting.

@SuperVirtualBoy I like what you did there, nice Project Cars ref/dig 🙄

I think i will be picking Flashback. Don't know yet about Syberia and Blacksad, i want to see more. Surely not grabbing the racing game

I'm def interested. Gear. Club seems neat. Hopefully the best version will be the Switch version.

Also I prefer first person view in racing sims. Hope it'll have one...

Wish I'd known flashback was coming to switch. It's a great game but I've played it to death and bought on ps3 and Xbox 360...

Anyone who hasn't played it, ignore the reviews and be sure to customize the game before you play as the options menu is quite specific.

Can't say the other games here have me thrilled to be honest. I'm sure they're fine but not feeling it for switch. They seem either too boring or low quality.

C'mon Nintendo- get us more third parties and metroid too.

Love the Siberia games.

I've never played any of the Syberia games and I was interested in Syberia 3.. the fact we will be getting 1 & 2 helps alot. As I usually feel when they release a numbered game I'm missing out in the fill experience if I've never played the previous ones

out of all the games here. blacksad seems the very least interesting game on this list for me.
I'll probably pick up Syberia 1-3, that Car game, and flashback tho. (weather it on Switch or another console.)

The Syberia trilogy will fill a nice void. They are solid modern adventure games and I can't wait to play through them back-to-back on Switch. Hopefully all three release in a similar timeframe.

Gear.Club could be a great fit, if they spruce it up and performance is ace. I'm certainly hopeful.

Finally, please be the Blacksad game the world deserves!

Nope.

I am so happy that Syberia 1 and 2 comes to switch.I just hope more adventure games will come to switch in the future.

Nothing wrong with more games on the platform! At the right price I can be persuaded into wanting to get in on a lot of these! I'm intrigued enough by the Siberia games, and I'm glad they're not just bringing the third one, since I have no clue what they're about, and starting with 3 seems like a bad plan!

I'm very interested in the Syberia trilogy

As a grown adult manly man I will say..... I actually still want Cars 3 more than the Gear game here.

A racer that is not a futuristic and includes blue shells. I will play it safe on gear club...we'll see how polished it is. Hopefully Switch can handle the engine.

I'd be happy with the Megadrive version of Flashback

Yes Flashback, not really a fan of the remaster version but if the original is unlockable then I'm definitely picking it up.

Well, happy to see more games announced for the Switch.

Gear Club looks fun.

A BLACKSAD GAME???!!

GET RIGHT OUTTA TOWN!!!

Those comics are amazing, and you guys can put something much nicer on this page than that trailer.
I'm surprised these guys get to handle that game and not TellTale, but I guess TellTale are too high up already for that kind of fare. I wish they would have still finished their Bone game though.

I have gear club on my phone. Good game. Would be even better with buttons definitely

I like the look of Blacksad. I hope the game does it justice.

@Pod Wait...there is a Bone game???

Nice... I plan to get Siberia Trilogy and Gear Club.

@GrailUK
TellTale's very first episodic game was Jeff Smith's Bone, yes.

They only got two chapters in (each of the nine books were planned out as a chapter) before it was canceled though. But it did get them started and proved to others that the model could work.

Siberia confused me with the awful Cyberia games lol

@fungusar You're totally right, I haven't played any of them, so you definitely shouldn't listen to me!

Oh this is good, really good.

I know nothing about Syberia, what the game play is but I'm intrigued.

Racing games with proper cars (and no flippin' shells) are my favourite genre, so I'm excited about Gear club.

And Flashback? That Flashback that I played on the Amiga with its groundbreaking graphics and rock-hard game play? Never finished it. No Internet walkthroughs in those days.

Good stuff.

@mjharper Sadly I bought the Flashback remaster on PS3 a few years ago and it was pretty shabby. The best thing is the original 16bit game was available to play as an option. I also loved the original and played in on the Amiga (talk about the way back machine). If I remember the grafx in the update were eh, ok, but the controls were sloppy which is just not a good thing for a 2D platform game.

Now we are Talking! I will be broke buying every single one of these titles!

@Spoony_Tech I'm all over gear club. Actually every single title here interests me. I'm so happy with this announcement. I wish that Gameloft would also join in and bring their games to switch. They used to do quite a bit with Nintendo.

Edit: actually not much interest in Blacksad but the rest looks good. Of course prices may matter too. They have taken price gouging to a new level on the Switch Eshop so far. Less than 6 dollar Android games for up too 19.99. Of course they are better on Switch with a controller and all so we will have to see. Im shocked that the Rally game on 3DS has never once got a sale. Its a 1.99 android game they sell for 39.99 in the 3DS eshop. I wish they would do a complete price change on that one. Hardly anyone has bought it, so I guess they would rather see it die then sell copies at a lower price.

Aw yeah, point-and-click adventure games! I played Siberia 1 on PC, so I'm stoked to play pt 2 & 3. As for flashback, I was hoping for the original but I'll see how the remaster turns out. Gear.Club I'll have to wait and see and Blacksad seems interesting but the illustration is peculiar lol.

The Syberia trilogy definitely, thought the reviews of 3 were a bit meh on other platforms. But this is one of my favourite genres! Broken Sword too please, whoever does that.

"and now Nintendo Switch owners will be able to catch up on the full" aka the best kind of Switch release news I can imagine. XD :3 All the more welcome to see Syberia get this treatment - I was fascinated by what I tried of the DS version but soon demotivated by reading of the sheer amount of the removed content. Now there will be all three games to play and you bet I'm getting them all. Same goes for Flashback - the remake looks interesting and I loved the original - makes sense to own it properly now (I did pay for the Genesis version back then, but there's no way in Tartarus it could be a licensed cartridge).

Gear.Club seems to promise a freemium's expansive load of content for a one-time price to get the BULK of it at the very least - yesplease/10. Blacksad looks like anthro noir and leaves me curious... I'll say, this is one rich newspost as far as my Switch wishlist goes!

Nothing here for me, if I was to buy it would be flashback just for nostalgia, never gonna happen though

Noooo! Wtf? Did i really see flashback!? I loved that game. All the games in that list put me back on the hype train.
Just genius.
Man i love the switch.

Definitely going to get the Syberia Trilogy. Looks really good.

Excited for Syberia and Blacksad. I am digging point and click/graphic adventures these days and if Switch becomes a home for remakes, remasters, and new additions I may get one.

Not sure how good any of these games will be but the Switch library starting to give choices Wii U never offered. Looking forward to next week!

@Sakura
Just discovered and DL'd Broken Sword on my SGalaxyS. Love it. Point and click is my new old favorite thing. I played many of the classics to death in the 90's and hope to see tons of remasters on Switch.

Star Trek the 25th Anniversary, Hand of Fate, and every Telltale and Lucas Arts title please.

Gear.Club!!!, oh wow, Really need a Switch!!!! sigh...
Only a curiosity; Eden Games?; the same that developed Test Drive Unlimited 1 & 2 and the classics V-Rally?, They?; They didn't out a bussiness?, anyway, yeeeeey!!!, is good to know! ^.^

With Flashback I hope they haven't replaced old sprite artwork that has a certain charm with low poly count (hexagonal tree trunks) that looks soulless and dated. (Wonderboy TDT has spoiled me).

Flashback + Gear.Club = day1

Can get Flashback for PS3, will wait for Switch.

Best thing about the Flashback remake? The original was included as well. Hopefully that's still the case.

You lost me at "game that previously arrived on smart devices"...

I'm glad they bring Syberia 1 & 2 as well so I can play them in order before starting with the new Syberia 3. I wouldn't have bought Syberia 3 on its own as I never played any in the series. I'm a huge point&click adventure fan though. Hope they'll be on retail.

If Siberia 1 & 2 are HD with touch controls I'll re-buy them

Microids is def bringing the goods. 3 Syberia games, A flashback remake we can actually look forward to, a racing sim that while not pushing polygons is LONG overdue, and a graphic novel that we'll get to enjoy at the end of 2018?! What the?!

Edit: Oh no. Are they just porting the last gen version of flashback, the one that was received poorly?

Hmm, I do realize that Gear Club was created as a Mobile Game first but I am going to at least hope that Eden Games can at least put forth some effort into giving the Switch some online presence that they gave to the Test Drive Unlimited series on the Xbox Platform, as I believe many of the people are way underestimating exactly what Eden can really put out there in a racing game, they have a strong heritage of doing so.

@mjharper The reviews were pretty bad.

Syberia 1 and 2 were really good but I have heard nothing but bad things about Siberia 3. I read a scathing review on PC Gamer who gave it 30/100 I think. That said, it apparently had game breaking bugs so maybe they'll have fixed it...

@TTgowings
Really Eden games developed great racing games, as I mentioned, the franchise V-Rally, NFS Porsche (Yes, they were credited for the PSX version, but, I guess that also they worked in the PC version, hehe) and, yes, Test Drive, in their versions Unlimited 1 & 2; these last, really GREAT racing games (Open World, Many cars, traffic and police challenge, misc).
then, yes, with gear.Club, is great game guaranted; I hope.
and, about that this game is a mobile game, but, is needed a super smartphone, not any smartphone for play that game.

Not watched any of those videos in the article, but I liked the look of the Siberia screens, though I'm a bit less interested if its point and click...

The Syberia games look interesting.

I had no idea there was a Flashback remake.I absolutely loved that game on the Megadrive.At the time it was considered to have the best animation yet seen in a video game.

Far as I'm concerned, Syberia should be on the radar of any serious adventure game lover. The first game still holds up quite well today, HD graphics or not, because the story line is so good, that once it draws you in, you won't care about such trivialities anymore...

Don't know about the third one though, since I only played the first two, but those I can definitely recommend to any fan of the genre.

And contrary to bad reviews, the Flashback reboot really isn't that bad. The view on the old one suffers WAY too much from rosy-tinted memories and especially when judged on its own merits, it's actually quite an entertaining "2.5D" platform game.

I have it on PC and I quite liked it. Yes, it has its tiny flaws here and there, but overall, the experience was still positive.

And FINALLY an actual racing sim on a Nintendo platform? That's good news indeed, and the company responsible for it (Eden Games) has a pretty decent track record, so this could actually be a very interesting addition to the Switch software catalog.

And for those of you wanting to know a bit more, here are some gameplay videos from Syberia, Flashback and Gear Club:
Syberia - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BXHyR8ag2Do
Flashback - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFLVJgi6dBQ
Gear Club - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBdW8XNkLz8

Blacksad is probably the most interesting idea to me. I just need to see the backstory of the graphic novel to see if it is the type of narrative I could get into.

I played some of Syberia on Android. It's just a simple puzzle game about moving around places and tapping places to solve puzzles or pick up objects. Only difference to most of the similar games, it has an excellent story, but I didn't get far in. Not entirely sure I want to pick up though for the Switch.

I can definitely vouch for the first two Syberia games, having played them on PC ages ago. Heard 3 wasn't that good, but I haven't played it myself, so... yeah.

@Whopper744 at 51 years old I have no problem at all playing "Kiddie" games. That's what video games are all about!! A great game is a great game period and Cars 3 looks pretty damn good. Shantae, duck tales, Aladdin, Disney afternoon- I can go on and on lol. My wife makes fun of me.

@MeloMan I think the original game opens up after you beat the remake

Came for a developer I've never heard of.

Stayed for visual novel Catman.

@joey302 haha im 52 and I loved a game on 3DS called Disneys Magical world. But what people dont realise is that its an open world action RPG. Most people think its a sim game. But it has a kiddie theme. My wife makes fun of me too. Keep on gaming Joey!

Edit: welcome to the Geezers gaming club lol

@ThanosReXXX thx for the links I'm now sold on gear club! Pretty cool 😎

@Windy lol the title & artwork of a video game can be deceiving. I'll never stop gaming brother!! Since the Atari 2600 baby!! 👍😆

@joey302 me too

we thought that if the switch sold well we would start to see devs support it. and that is what we are seeing here. its another step in a great direction

@Windy cool! Can't wait for E3!!

I can definitely recommend Syberia 1! Syberia 2 is not quite as excellent, but still very good. Now 3 on the other hand... Eh, probably better to be wary of it. To be honest, though... It's better to just buy them on GOG.com right now. 1&2 are 90% off there at the moment for their Summer sale, so its $2 for both of them. Plus they're DRM-free on GOG, not locked to an account like on the consoles. Yet another reason I don't have an NS yet...

Not sure about the others, but they seem interesting. In any case, this bodes well if PC and enhanced mobile releases continue coming to NS. It's nice to have things that aren't Nintendo related on Nintendo systems, you know...

@joey302 You're welcome.
And as far as I am concerned, I think more of us should start to feel/realize that its always good to see more good stuff coming to the Switch, even if some of it is pretty dated, but at the end of the day, a good game is still good, and since no dedicated Nintendo gamer ever got any of those games, they're still "new" in that respect and a worthy addition all the same.

@PlywoodStick I put up some gameplay footage of several of the games in comment #76 and I can personally vouch for the Flashback remake being a pretty decent game, as long as people aren't constantly going to compare it to their rosy-tinted 1992 memories of its predecessor, since it isn't an exact copy. Some changes/additions have been made, but I certainly had a good time with the PC version.

@ThanosReXXX yup I've been saying since that whole thing about Nintendo pushing back on devs because maybe it was a port! I'm like who cares a great game is a great game no matter where it came from or how old it is. If they put asteroids and centipede on the Switch for example I'd be pumped! Why? Cause they're great games...period!! But the Switch library is really starting to swell up now and the vibe is way more positive than the Wii U was. We're reading about new Switch game announcements every day now and E3 is next week baby! After a crappy launch game wise it's looking like it's really starting to come together and will hopefully sway the big AAA boys over!! I'm pumped! 😁

@joey302 P.S. Another Atari 2600 club member here...

I can't wait to finally play the syberia series!

I can't wait to finally play the syberia series!

Urgh I don't know man can't get excited about a mobile racing game coming to my new current gen console. As for the others.... meh

Those seem like some depressing games.

Never heard of any of these games. But I'm excited for gear club

@joey302 Definitely picking up 5 out of 6 of these games I'm really excited about the racing game which I'm downloading right now on a tablet I have. I really prefer a controller though but it looks great. I was hoping to go too E3 this year but my son has to work so I'm going to just watch from home in Las Vegas. If you would like to exchange friend codes email me at [email protected] would be fun to hookup on some MarioKart sometime

Microids? I think they make an ointment for that.

@ThanosReXXX nice! I still have all my Atari systems 2600,5200,7800,Lynx, jaguar with 7800 and jaguar still hooked up easy to go!! Lol my 2600 library is about 250+ boxed games
5200 complete library
7800 67 games also complete
Jag 30 games
Lynx 22 games 😆😆😆😃😃😂😂

@Windy cool! May just do that!! When we use to play MK 8 on Wii U my now 14 year old son used to go head to head with me. But now all he cares about is NBA 2k17 and soon 18!! Ugh!! Oddly and amazingly though, he loves Kaboom on the 2600!! Crazy 😜

@Windy as far as these games def gear club unsure about the rest. Siberia not really grabbing me as I'm more an action/arcade kinda guy lol. But it's great to see Switch getting the variety that a library needs! But plenty of other Switch games in my sights. Shantae, Oceanhorn, Axiom Verge, Splatoon 2, Namco Museum, and quite a few others! Wish they'd get that virtual console going!! Another hopeful E3 announcement???

@ThanosReXXX further, I wish we'd see those Atari flashback collections on the Switch or at the very least Nintendo strike a deal with Atari to get their classics into the Switch eshop!!

Never heard of Gear Club before, but Eden are the people behind the excellent Test Drive Unlimited games from last gen (and also the sweet "b-tier" PS2 Platformer, Kya: Dark Lineage). They don't make bad games.

That's interesting (and a little sad) to see they've been pushed to the realm of mobile, but hopefully getting this on Switch is the start of their dedicated gaming hardware comeback. They don't deserve to fade into obscurity.

Flashback's f***ing terrible. But its worth hunting down videos on Youtube just to hear THE. WORST. DELIVERY. of the word "Awesomesauce" in human history. Holy sh**. I get why Ubi dropped it, but I have no idea why Microids - or anyone - would ever pick it up again. That reboot needs a reboot. smh; put out the original version on modern hardware (a la Another World Anniversary Edition) and we'll talk. But the Flashback remake needs to stay buried.

I won't be touching any of these, but happy to see more Switch support.

Blacksad looks really intriguing!

The book, I mean. Not sure about the game.

YEY! Flashback! Remember playing that to death on my Acorn 4000, I hope it is just as frustrating

I am glad they are bringing Siberia to the Switch. I love this type of game it lets you chill out after a bad at work. I remember Flashback but not sure if I played it but looks interesting.

The trailer shown for Blacksad looks fantastic, hopefully the game has the same tone/atmosphere.
I'll check the first Syberia game out, looks very intriguing.

@joey302 My two biggest entertainment loves are Disney and Nintendo. My wife will join me daily sometimes in games like Mario Kart, but isn't quite as crazy as myself.
If I didn't live in WV I'd try to work for one of the two.

I don't own Switch and I don't intend to own one (still too many unfinished games on my 3DS with still lot of new coming), but I've been fan of Microïds since the first Syberia game (and fanclub member). I love Benoît Sokal's artwork (I played all the games he ever made like Amerzone which is a "prequel" to Syberia, Paradise - both the PC and DS version and Sinking Island) and this is really great news. I have both Syberia 1 and 2 on PC and I'm getting the third one on PS4 (still thinking about buying the collector''s edition), but I strongly recommend it to anyone who loves click&point adventures. The story is very beautiful. I see people being disappointed calling it even boring, but don't judge it by cover or release date. Yes S1&2 are quite old games, but perfectly playable even today. I can't even count how many times I replayed the games like 10 times each at least XD I even played the first on DS XD too bad not even one for 3ds still glad they work for Switch .
Kate Walker and Oscar FTW ^^

Oh and guys come on. It's purposely named Syberia not Siberia. Don't bash the game if you didn't even try it

@TossedLlama I've been waiting for Syberia 3 since Syberia 2. It was very frustrating how they constantly kept delaying the release date. Kinda like FFXV

I have no idea how it will turn out but Blacksad does seem interesting at least.

@TossedLlama Check out GOG.com
Tons of point and click games over there, both old and new.

@Mainsaile Here's hoping for a point and click comeback!

@joey302 To be clear, I'm in the A2600 members club as a fan, not as an owner of any of the systems. My cousin had all of them, and we used to hang out a lot, but back then, I personally couldn't afford having my own and my parents weren't the console buying kind, unfortunately...

I do still play a number of the games from back then, and if you're interested, and have a DS with a flash card or a modded Wii, then I can heartily recommend the Stella emulator, it's the best Atari emulator out there.

I especially like the DS version, since it's nice to be able to play these games on the go as well, but obviously playing them on the TV is a better representation of my childhood memories...

@Whopper744 lucky you! My wife has absolutely no interest in video games lol. At least she's a good girl though so I'm lucky in that sense. She messed with Tetris and Ms Pac Man way back & that's about it!

@ThanosReXXX ahhh gotcha! Well I have a modded Wii and a modded original Xbox (which has 48,000 games/64 emulators!) but I occasionally grab homebrews off eBay, Atari Age and Good deal games. I also have both Atari collections on the DS Too! I'd like to see the Atari classics come to Switch!! And I see now on eBay now they're starting to mod 360s too! Waiting to see a really good package before I bite! I was offered recently to have my psp modded for the classics but I don't really mess with it anymore. But The worst thing my parents ever did is get us a 2600 for Christmas!! I've been a junkie ever since 😂 It's terrible but fabulous!! 😁😆😆

Flashback on Switch? TAKE MY MONEY

@joey302 So, what's your A2600 top 3 then? (or top 5 if you can't limit yourself to just 3... )

@ThanosReXXX top 3 2600 games you mean? Sorry 😐

@joey302 Yup.

@ThanosReXXX oh jeez well imo the 2600 had a lot of great games. Here are some of my favorites off the top of my head: asteroids, circus Atari, air sea battle, demon attack, Atlantis, Sea Quest, Freeway, Stampede, Grand Prix, Enduro, Barnstorming, Megamania, Pitfall I&II, Keystone Kapers, Space Cavern, Shark Attack, river raid, chopper command, missle command, Kaboom!, Laser Blast, Indy 500, crackpots, H.E.R.O., ice hockey, Atari pinball, Adventure, Haunted House, Berzerk, Frostbite, Phoenix, Yars Revenge just to name a few! Lol

@joey302 That would be sweet for an atari collection all converted to HD. I had a very large atari collection myself. But my dad thought selling it at a garage sale years ago was a good idea. In 1983 or 84 I had just moved out and left a couple boxes with my name on them in my parents garage. My dad had a gArage sale one weekend and went through my boxes which included my atari 2600 and 100+ games. He sold the entire set for 10.00 dollars. I was so mad! I never really attempted to rebuild it though.

@Whopper744 do you have Disneys magical world on 3DS? You guys would love that game. I like the first game a bit better than the sequel but both are really good open world RPG games with a huge amount of Disney characters to interact with.

Cant wait for Club.Gear it runs really slow on my samsung tablet so im downloading to my phone right now to make sure there there is a difference. Graphically I think it could be a little better and hopefully on Switch it will be so. Even for a android game I didnt think the graphics all that great. I play Real Racing 3 and GT Racing on my tablet and phone and both of those are really top notch racing games with excellent graphics. Also cars seem to cost 9.99 each for Club. Gear pretty much how they do it on Android. I hate that aspect of android gaming. Cant just sell the game and be done with it. They have to sell you parts and items and milk ya. I have a buddy who once spent over 500.00 dollars in 1 game. Crazy

@Windy that's terrible man jeez!! 10 bucks?? That was like 5 grand worth of stuff lol. My mom threw 4 shoeboxes of baseball cards out when I was a kid smh!

@joey302 Well, that's some top 5 you got there...

I'll stick to my own rules then. albeit in no particular order.

River Raid
Combat
Barnstorming
Pitfall
HERO

Honorable mentions:
Pac-Man
Phoenix
Skydive

@TossedLlama Yup the story was pretty much finished in S2, but I somehow felt (perhaps hoped) that a third game would come. It took 7 years since it was officialy announced, but it came. The author's last game was canceled and he parted with Microids so there was even talk he won't be doing it, but in the end he did help with the game. I heard only bad reviews, but I never depend on what majority thinks - I make my own judgment after I will actually play it

The DS version was pretty decent, but perhaps because I played it over a decade ago (and literally knew what to do in solving puzzles XD) and I'm hard-die fan of the series. Sadly if I had to recommend a pick between PC and DS, PC would win. The DS version lacks any voice acting and the awesome music have been downgraded to some weird loop. It's also important to bear in mind they didn't customize the game for DS, they basically just made it fit into the screen so it's very low quality even though the touch screen function feels perfect for point and click. But the story and music leaves me in amusement every time. I had a better experience with the DS version of Paradise, because it felt different compared to the original.

If I had to use comparison then playing S1 on DS felt like when I was playing Myst on 3ds. Maybe it's just me, but the controls are somehow frustrating and makes the game quite hard to play.

If you don't mind playing games that are old and are not avaiable on handheld (just PC in this case if I'm not mistaken) Anuman (which Microids is under) published Still Life 1&2. Maybe you already played it before, but it's one of my favorites. And the Dracula series (both S1&S2 and Dracula series are out on mobile platform if you prefer it over PC).

Sorry for the long post. Once I start abount adventures, I can't stop:(

@Windy Although I'm of younger generation I love DMW too. I was quite shy getting that game at first, but I love RPG and Disney so if combined there is nothing to stop me from playing it. The voice acting is surprisingly well handled and the quests and collecting part were so much fun (no irony or sarcasm). I would love a third one with more Disney characters. It may look like a game oriented at kids only, but just because there's no 18+ label it doesn't make the game bad :3

@cheonsacz Definitely Disney's Magical World on 3DS is just good old fashion fun. Very well put together which any Disney fan and a fan of Open World RPG's would enjoy. It has some minor Sim aspects to it as well by running the restaurant but I find that I'm hardly there to run it lol.

OK I installed Club. Gear to my Samsung phone. The game absolutely flies on my phone. I opened up the first set of New tracks and bought a new car. The game will be a wonderful edition to the Switch. I just hope they Don't Price Gouge us to bad like they did with the Rally racing game on 3ds which had about 50 buyers and still sits there at 39.99. Talk about stubborn. They would rather see it die before they lower the price. The game costs 1.99 on the android market btw. Club. Gear actually looks like it could be fairly expensive as they don't sell the game. They sell cars and they don't come Cheap. They run 9.99 each. For myself I would get it if it's priced at 29.99 or under. With online play it will be great fun. Any higher and I would like a retail release. But the Switch right now isn't doing many retail releases.

@joey302 haha I still have boxes of baseball cards. I haven't looked at them in years. I've been thinking back in my mind to give them to my kids.

I have never felt more pressured to download digital than I have with the Switch so far. It almost feels like forced digital downloading. I love Cartridges

@Windy I'm sure as I'm breathing those baseball cards are worth some decent coin so hang on to them bro!! Yea give them to the kids! That's what I'm gonna do with my game collection- give to the kids if I don't need retirement money lol!

Love the Siberia series I'll be getting them all and flashback looks interesting too.

@Windy going on 54 , different game same response ditto... She said it's me or the games, I'm single again yay!!!!!

@Windy I wanted that rally game but not until it discount s.

I would love to see the original Roller Coaster Tycoon on the switch. But it will never happen.

@SyFyTy hahahaha. Games have been a discussion in our house for years. My wife isn't a gamer. Would love it if she was. But years ago I really went overboard playing EverQuest. So I made a deal that if I was needed for anything I would hop off. It's worked out for all these years. I actually have cut way back on gaming. I have more time than ever and only play about 10 hours a week now. Back then it was bad from the time I got up till bed. Plus I worked and played pretty much all my time off. It was pretty crazy.

@TossedLlama np
I ditched Steam completely for GOG years ago. Couldn't be happier.

Syberia 1-3 is great stuff, but Flashback 2013 is a really horrible version. Cuisset should just release the original 1992 game instead of the crappy 3D remaster.
