Axiom Verge Is Coming To The Switch eShop Early

That's nice of them. Still, it's a port that's available on Wii U, like most Switch games.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE read the above article and it says "when it landed on the Wii U last year"
Come on man read something before you comment

I have the Wii U physical version pre-ordered on Amazon Spain. I hope that comes through, they now show the listing as not posting to the UK.

The only place I found with the Wii U version in the UK was 365games, but they were out of stock when I looked.

Really happy with this.

I've wanted it since it was released on the PS4 and I deliberately held off on the Wii U release because I felt there'd be a Switch release in the future. This timing works out pretty great for me!

@Bunkerneath It's getting a PHYSICAL release on 20th October in Europe. Last year, we got the DIGITAL version. But, ya, thanks for your meaningless post.

Any know what an Axiom Verge might be? Can't really think how those words could be related. I reckon they named it after the pre-configured password on their BT HomeHub.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE Ha, sorry about that
Don't you love useless jumping at each others comments?
Especially if you do agree with them, but are just saying it to provoke a response

@SLIGEACH_EIRE @Bunkerneath
Haha you guys. I quite enjoy his moany negativity as for the most part I think he's being tongue in cheek. Lol.

Oh and DEFO getting this from the eShop on the 5th!

@dystome

I think the meaning of the games title is interesting and open enough for thoughts, debate, and discussion.

For me an "axiom" is something that is contemplated to be real even though it can't be seen or verified (like the hidden world in the game) and "verge" is to be near it, close to it, on the border of it.

I just finally started playing this last night on the wiiU after owning it for almost a year. Playing it to sharpen my metroidvania skills for this friday:).

@SLIGEACH_EIRE another port, how terrible. But someone like me who plays more portable gaming then home can't wait to get a great game I just couldn't find time to finish on Wii U, but on my portable switch. I'm sure in 2 years when Samus returns releases into switch you will be complaining about that. And why bother supporting VC since those are all ports too. LA noire is a port that's never been on Nintendo so I guess we shouldn't get that either. Ports are always going to be there.

^^^ Yawn!

@SLIGEACH_EIRE
The WiiU never happened.

No surprise the Irish man is moaning.

I never bought it in Wii U as had no desire to play that machine.

Will buy on switch though.

I never got round to this on WiiU. A Baby happened in my life and well that screws pretty much anything other than babytime. Now though this is absolutely perfect for me. Plus Metroid in a few days and a direct tomorrow... it's good to be alive

I liked Super Metroid but never got to the end of it, as at some point I couldn't figure out what to do next and got tired of running around.

Is this game a little more "directive" ?

Oh no! Another Wii U port!
(I am possessed by SLIGEACH_EIRE's spirit)

@dystome The name has relation to a bit on in-game lore, meaning you have to play it to get it.

Either way, if you enjoy Metroid and haven't played this yet, by all means go for it. Fantastic game that has enough cool ideas to absolutely be its own thing.

I still haven't played this game so might just have to pick it up (physical)

Considered getting this on PS4/Wii U but never did. Definitely buying on Switch, not sure on physical or digital yet.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE I'm sure I'm not the only one sick of hearing about how you don't like ports when others see it has getti g to play a new game they might not have had a chance to.

Never got round to this on other systems, so will give this a punt once I am done with Samus Returns.

I already own it and beat it multiple times on PS4, but anyone who doesn't have it should get it. PLAY WITH HEADPHONES! The soundtrack is incredible.

New strategy for sligeach....complain about bad ports or ports of bad games. Good games, like axiom verge, should be on switch period.

No point in double dipping and only get physical when available (having re-sellable copies of a hobby you pump a bunch of money into is helpful if you suddenly lose your job). Kind of bummed it's in November. Have wanted to play this for like 2 years.

Got this on PS4 and Vita... but man I wanna support this developer!

For someone who doesnt own a wii u like a majority of gamers. Wii u ports for the most part is a welcome addition. I cannot wait for a smash & bayonetta port as like many havent had the chance to play it. Wii u owners there is still arms, mario rabbids kingdom battle, FE, mario ody, splat 2, xeno 2 for your first party flavours and upcoming games like nba 2k fifa which where never given time of day for proper version on the wii u. Peace!!!

I originally played Axiom Verge on Steam, but would gladly rebuy it not only for my Wii U, but also my eventual Switch!

Every time I pick it up, 3-4 hours magically seem to slip away without a seam. Love it!
