As regulars will know we're now in the habit of sharing mini Download Updates on a Tuesday, with the pleasing support for the Switch prompting some studios to bring a mix of retail and download-only titles out a little earlier each week. Typically there are 4-5 new games on offer at this point each time around, which sure is a strain on the wallet.
This week is a pretty tasty one, all told. Rockstar is leading the way with a notable port, but that's not to say that the other releases out today should be overlooked; there's some good stuff on offer. It's worth noting that in all cases where an entry specifies a region it's already out or due soon in other territories.
So, without further ado, here are the latest Switch eShop releases.
L.A. Noire (Rockstar) - £44.99 / $49.99 USD
Also making its way to PS4 and Xbox One, the big selling points for the Switch iteration are the inclusion of touchscreen segments, along with goodies like HD Rumble and portability. This was a big deal in its last-gen guise, and it'll be interesting to see whether it strikes gold a second time around.
Rocket League (Psyonix Studios) - £15.04 / $19.99USD
One of the most eagerly awaited eShop titles of the year (there will eventually be a retail version, too), this brings the PC and console smash hit to Nintendo gamers. On Switch there are some unique Nintendo-themed vehicles, along with all the relevant modes, cross-platform multiplayer and more.
LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 (Warner Bros., NA only) - $59.99USD
Combine zany LEGO gameplay with a Marvel mash-up and you potentially have a bit of a family-friendly gem. In addition to the story there'll also be battle arenas for local multiplayer, if co-op isn't turning out so well... Out in Europe on 17th November.
Batman - The Telltale Series (Telltale Games, NA only) - $39.99USD
It's pleasing to have another Telltale release on the Switch, although it feels like this one's arrival has been rather low-key, with an official announcement coming long after retail listings. Nevertheless it's another step towards Nintendo's system catching up with Telltale's output and it'll be interesting to see whether it achieves decent sales. Out in Europe on 17th November.
RiME (Grey Box, NA only) - $29.99USD
This has taken a little while to make its way to Switch, and represents one of the most ambitious Indie retail releases of the year. It's a charming and at times emotional adventure, but unfortunately has some technical issues on Nintendo's system - check out our RiME review to learn more. Out in Europe on 17th November.
Ittle Dew 2+ (Nicalis) - £26.99 / $29.99USD
A sequel to a rather charming top-down adventure that we saw on the Wii U eShop, this looks to deliver more of a good thing with bright visuals and attractive design. In truth some may opt for the neat retail edition with the usual Nicalis extras.
Super Putty Squad (System 3, Europe) - £14.99
A retro platforming experience remastered for modern systems (previously also on Wii U and 3DS), this features a protagonist that "can inflate, morph, stretch, punch, jump and absorb". In principle that sounds like rather good fun. Previously released in North America.
Ben 10 (Bandai Namco, North America) - $29.99USD
A single player action brawler which could certainly be fun for fans of the TV series. Previously released in Europe.
That's the slate of fresh releases in the Switch eShop (and stores in some cases) that are out today. Let us know if you'll be buying any of these in the comments below.

"Fresh" ports you mean. The majority of those games are ports.
Rocket league. Buy it everyone.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE So what? 3rd party support is good news.
I was considering Rocket League, and I bought Batman. I may pick up LA Noire at a later date.
L.A Noire - very interested, as I am impressed with the tech on show and the theme, but with XC2 coming in a couple of weeks this would not get the time it deserves.
Rocket League - I am still debating whether to get this or not. I already have it on PS4 and play it weekly with my brother. This Switch version could be used to get better at the flying techniques. Hmmmm...
Lego Marvel - Not my thing (Sorry)
Batman (Telltale) - Waaaaayyyy too expensive. I hope this goes on sale soon enough, hopefully £20 around christmas time.
Rime - Was interested but releasing in this busy period, and with it performing so badly on the switch, makes it an automatic skip and forget about.
Ittle Dew 2 - I enjoyed the first, but again this is way too expensive for what it is. Skip.
Super Putty Squad - Looks pretty interesting but as I did not play the original there is no nostalgia for the game. May pick up in a sale.
Ben 10 - Again, not for me.
I'm sure you all wanted to know all that.
@Heavyarms55 Fresh support would be better.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE do you put these stupid comments on Xbox and PlayStation sites to?
£15.04 is an interesting price point, isn't it? I wonder if that extra 5 pee is to pay for the Mario and Metroid cars?
Picking up LA Noire. Might get Rocket League at a later date.
Interested in Rocket League but if a physical version is planned will wait for it.
Had preordered Rime but after yesterday's review and watching Arlo's review video has cemented my fears that the technical issues are too muh for me to drop £30 on the physical edition (even £20 may be too much).
Damn that’s almost like a Thursday 😃
Got Rocket League when it released at 11 in my timezone, now I'm just waiting for the eShop to update and allow me to pay LA Noire.
I’m crap at driving. I’m crap at football. I’m crap at video games. Rocket League looks right up my street.
Ittle Dew is on the Wii U. I don't remember it ever being €30. It's €10. So I don't get how the sequel is so much more expensive. It looks like more of the same aesthetically. It's a year old port.
LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 could be interesting if it's as good as the first, again on Wii U. New game, no complaints.
And Batman - The Telltale Series looks great but it's an old port and the price should reflect that.
L.A. Noire is a disgrace for several reasons, ludicrous price and putting it on a small cartridge, forcing people to download the bulk of the game. Again, it's an old game that bombed first time around. It's not new and shouldn't be €50.
RiME is a mess that we covered yesterday.
Super Putty Squad is new and looks alright. It's not doing anything offensive, cheap price and don't know much more than the trailer. Can't and wouldn't criticise it.
Ben 10, don't care, it's a kids game.
Rocket League though it's a port, it looks good, adds some Nintendo extras, is fairly priced and the devs have put some effort in. I hope they do well.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE great games are great games regardless of age or origin. Many gamers haven’t played any of or some of these selections including myself. Especially Nintendo only fans.
@FX102A Just out of curiosity why would you buy a game physically that has such a pick up and play nature? Rocket League is a perfect match for the Switch to pick it up out of the dock and have a quick game in between doing other things. Having it physical hampers this significantly. Genuinely curious.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE
Yea, I get what you mean. But to start with for the console, it helps out catchup for some games that Nintendo fans missed.
Also it is early on, and these games are likely to test the waters. I doubt they will keep releasing ports after the first year. Maybe a few indies or games like Mario maker which would do well with a port for people that didn’t own a wii U or something.
Hopefully anyway. More new games would be good. It would help sell the console better, as people can then justify the choice between XB/PS/NS
@NewAdvent how many times do I have to say it to people, it's not a mark up. Ittle Dew 2+ is a DELUXE version of Ittle Dew 2, with about 75% more content.
Was going to get Rime when i saw the first screenshots, but from the delays, the videos and reviews i've seen, not worth it at all.
Shame really.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE Lego Marvel Super Heroes 2 is a brand new game.
@Kiz3000 Ittle Dew 2+ has approximately 3 times as much content as the first game.
@brutalpanda - For some people, if it touches another console, it may as well be an old port.
I bought DOOM last Friday, got LA Noire coming today and Skyrim this Friday. Want Rocket League but not yet. Too many other big games to buy and play right now for me.
@brutalpanda I know that, thanks.
Rocket League is the most interesting to me. Probably skipping L.A. Noire but will buy GTA5 if it ever releases on Switch.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE
God will you shut up complaining all the god dam time!!!
and as for the ports, did you or did you not say on that Capcom post that one of the games you wanted them to bring to the switch is resident evil 7 - which correct me if I am wrong is actually a PORT - you know, one of them things you apparently hate so much - the level of hypocrisy you possess is mind blowing
I looked at the headline of this link and thought to myself, "It's Port O'Clock!"
I wasn't disappointed. So predictable.
@timson72 Have you anything intelligent to say about the story or do you just like trolling members who have a different opinion to yours?
Was planning on getting Doom, but I hate FPS so not buying it.
Was planning on buying LA Noire Cartridge, but it's a not a real cartridge, the game is decapitated: the head is missing and needs to be downloaded. Bad for collectors, the game will not work 10 years from now.
Was planning on getting Rocket League but the graphics look dull compared to PS4 so not buying.
Was planning to buy Skyrim, but it's too much like BotW + Witcher 3 with lousier graphics, so not interested anymore.
I guess I will continue to play Super Mario Odyssey.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE "Fresh ports you mean. The majority of those games are ports."
OMG, you're right! What on Earth would we do without you? So glad you could come set the record straight and save us from ourselves.
@Malanta Read my comments properly. Even here I've said that ports aren't always a bad thing. But the price should reflect that. I praised Rocket League here and said I'd also be interested in Batman - The Telltale Series when the price is right.
I said "fresh support WOULD BE BETTER". Not that all ports should be banned.
Rocket league and la noire both. Ports or not, after today, I have no reason to keep my PS4. The day my membership expires its being sold. It’s been used as a DVD player only or for rocket league since march and now that I will have rocket, bye bye Sony.
Rocket League for sure today! I’ve been wanting it for a while and can’t wait to get it on Switch.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE - The issue with that is you see the lowest price it has reached and expect that to reflect whatever port graces the new system. Going to be honest, still flabbergasted you praised Rocket League's pricepoint.
The development process is still time consuming and takes a bit of money to do. I will agree many games releasing are definitely taking a "new to you" approach to Switch's pricing. Now that's on them, but it is a foolish tactic to expect a full retail priced game to make waves like Doom and Binding of Isaac as a port to Switch. It's a risk on how much money theu may be loosing from people not interested in the game in a 10 dollar price difference at best.
But expecting a new game to re-release on a new console with different architecture at 15 dollars is practically foolish.
Rocket league review please! Super tempted just would like to see a review first.
Does Rocket League run at 60fps and have voice chat or is it a gimped port?
@8-Bit_Zorldo
He complains on every post - he doesn't own a switch and likely wont for a long time - because the Wii U was apparently the greatest console of all time and Nintendo "let him down personally" - he doesn't want a portable console, moans it for having it and just constantly annoys everyone with his crap on a daily basis - so yes, there is every need to be hostile to this cretin
@SLIGEACH_EIRE “Even here I’ve said ports aren’t a bad thing.”
Then why must’ve you bicker about ports in literally every article concerning third-party support? You literally complain about 90% of the third-party support on the Switch even though this is the best support Nintendo has received from developers for years. Plus, there are tons of Nintendo fans who never had the chance to play games like Skyrim, Doom, and/or Rocket League until now. So please, think twice before you comment.
Rocket league is awesome. I can notice not as defined if graphics in handheld but it was quickly overlooked with the speed of the gameplay as it was soon forgotten. One problem as I was playing.... I was playing with pro Controller on tv and when I went to try in handheld I was imaging it would switch over to the connected joy cons. It did not and I fumbled around trying to pick up my pro controller and get the switch stand up. This neeeeeeeeeeeeeeds to be addressed.... in my opinion.
I’m tempted to buy Rocket League, but the vague promise of a physical edition is making me hold off. Here’s hoping it’s not far away.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE
The way you would go on about it suggests otherwise - perhaps if you didn't come across as some spoilt stupid child people wouldn't think these things about in the first place - Its not like I am the only one who thinks these things, plenty of people do and no one would miss you incredibly dismal outlook on the switch at all - its not need, not required, not wanted and no one would be sad to see you go.
@AcridSkull It runs in 60fps and at 600p docked and slightly less in handheld mode. The developers said it was important to have the game run at 60fps rather than worry about resolution. I don't know about voice chat, maybe reviewers do. I don't know if they're allowed talk about that yet.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE
Just fed up of your crap
@Malanta Don't take the bait man. You only have to look at the posting history of certain users to ascertain a pattern. Use the ignore button and enjoy the forums More importantly enjoy all these great games on the Nintendo Switch.
Finally picking up Rocket League i've almost picked it up on PC and PS4 in the past, but never got around to it. Now with it coming to switch and is cross platform no reason to not give it a shot here with the nintendo flavored specialty vehicles in tow. I already started my download this morning, and might have to start it up at lunch and give it a whirl.
@Hyrule
Heh I shall - Ignoring is the way forward...shall follow the advice thanks - and am enjoying a lot of them, got plenty to play and just got rocket league today - runs very well in handheld mode ^_^
@SLIGEACH_EIRE 600p docked!? GTFO! What happend to the 720p they were aiming for, what a mess. That pretty much guarantees there's no choice chat.
Back to the topic at hand, LA Noire just arrived in my post box. I bought rocket league on the eshop early this morning and preordered Batman Telltale series to arrive on Friday. So many great games, so much choice in 9 months. We have never had it better
@Malanta yeah there is the ignore button for a reason. the guy posts troll comments on purpose. after people fall for the bait, he edits the text in the comments to make it sound like he wasn't trolling. he then cites his own altered comment to use in an argument based on his original post.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE I'm trolling? That's a good one. You come on every Switch article with something negative. So what if these games have been available elsewhere or are cheaper,many people haven't played them and want to on a Nintendo system. If you hate the switch so much why even comment....oh because you're an attention seeking child.
@Hyrule yup, now we just need more avatar choices for our switch profile. more... MORE!!
Picking up Rocket League for sure. I'll bite the bullet for Batman once critics verify that Telltale didn't release another poorly optimized game.
@brutalpanda
Yeh now found it - seems it hides all his comments and everyone elses comments that reply to him so I don't ever have to see anything from him ever again - rejoice for the world is full of love and the hate is hidden behind a invisible wall ^^
Last thing I saw him say before I ignored him for good is how he is fed up with me and he doesn't talk to anyone how I do him...probably because he is the one with the problem and doesn't even know it...he doesn't talk to anyone else like that because he is the biggest troll on this site...
Anyway, I have digressed long enough - many good games this week, Just rocket league for me for now as Christmas is coming up and asked for a few games for xmas (skyrim, xenoblade, doom etc) - Rocket league is just like the other ones (had it on the ps4 previously) just obviously lower res, but once you are driving around and trying to panic not to let goals in you wont worry about how it looks! So i recommend everyone who has an interest to pick it up! ^^
@NewAdvent well, then, you're wrong. Sorry. The Switch version has content the Steam version doesn't, so it costs more. Not hard to work out. Is it Stardew Valley level value? No. But it's not overpriced. Monopoly is overpriced. Stardew Valley is underpriced. Ittle Dew 2+ is accurately priced. In any case, no need to be mad about it. You'll either get it or you won't and no one is forcing your hand either way.
Well that sucks. I was going to get Rime but the jumpy framerate will definitely take me out of the world. Im not sure if it can be patched and this was a game I was looking forward to play. Oh well there is always another game to play.
Just keep it on topic and enjoy peeps
@Kiz3000 Primarily for conservation and a sense of actual ownership. There's also the chance I could not like the game or get bored of it and then have the option to sell it on for at least something.
But primarily its to know that regardless of the eShop's status, whether its still running or has been shut down I will always have a copy of the game available. With digital it always feels like a long-term rental that can be withdrawn at any time.
Digital does have its advantages like anything but for me the advantages offered by physical overrule those of digital.
@FX102A Not liking the game is a good enough reason for me, particularly as this game is pretty unique.
To be fair if the eshop shut down then most likely the online functionality of the switch as well, and RL is best played online against real opponents anyway.
I do get most games physical however, particularly Nintendo ones which hold their value so well over time.
I bought L.A Noire in retail store yesterday and it impressed me !
I never played this game before and I'm happy to enjoy it on the go !
Just about to play mine later this evening
I want to get Rocket League. Is it coming out physically? If so I'll wait for that.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE You don't like ports, you are not the biggest fan of Switch portability, you ha e complains about Most Switch games, Hell, you don't even have a Switch yet. You clearly don't like The console, so, why don't you buy a PS4 or a powerful PC and stop complaining about the Switch, it is what it is and clearly isnt for you.
@16bitdave
Supposedly physical coming out next year at some point
@Hyrule - Ugh, it's that banner again...
@SLIGEACH_EIRE Ittle Dew 2+ is just a year old port of Ittle Dew? Okay, usually I'd just laugh and move on, but this one intrigues me. Are you saying that no matter how much a game innovates, if it keeps the same graphical style it's just a port? Don't get me wrong, I clearly haven't played it yet to judge how different it its, but I think given the length of the original it's totally possible they are making a sequel with three times the content. Who knows, when it comes out I could be totally wrong about it being worth it, but it still seems weird. I mean, they look the same because they're both made in the same Unity Engine I'd assume. Eh, anyways, the rest of your post was totally on point, this one just struck my funny bone.
LA noire, rocket league and Doom for me as soon as the switch is mine.
Why are nicalis games so expensive?
Owned LA Noire on PS3 and never got a chance to finish it. Oh man, I spent all my gaming now on switch as I don't have time to sit down and glue my butt to a chair to play on my PS3/4... looked forward to finishing LA Noire on switch when it was announced.
However.... I just cannot justify to spend $20 more for the switch version and own only "half" of the game on a cartridge
I just got Rocket League, and wow, Nintendo should just hire Panic Button. The game is amazing, and they have support for a party system like Xbox Live.
Batman, but I'm waiting for reviews to see if it has any major performance issues.
@Malanta thanks!
@1UP_MARIO already have 😃 and L.A. Noire £36 in Tesco and having just got Doom and Mario in the past couple of weeks it truly is a great time for Switch.
This guy @Hyrule gets it, let's ignore the certain few who are here just to moan and celebrate and enjoy all these great games we're getting. Right what should I do now? Solve a murder? Chainsaw some demons? Play football with cars? Or collect some more moons?
Just picked up Rocket League. Sweet! LA Noire is a maybe if/when the price drops. I'm in no panic for that one.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE Hey man, Rocket League runs at 720p docked and is variable in handheld based on the stadium. This information comes from an AMA the developers did yesterday.
http://nintendoeverything.com/rocket-league-resolution-in-docked-and-portable-modes/
@AcridSkull I posted a response to Sligg about it but RL runs at 720p when docked. There is a link in my previous comment.
@carlos82 sure is a great time but not enough time to play.
😢
Rocket League, LA Noire, and Lego Marvel for me! In addition to Sonic and Doom last week, Skyrim this week, and also Pokemon on 3DS this week. Ugh
Just got home with my physical copy of LA Noire. For those who are curious, you can start to play the game without additional download, no idea how much of the game is actually playable without though. When you load up from the cartridge without the download there is a pop up that states that a download of 6.45GB is required "to unlock the full experience", which would be much more palatable than the 14GB listed on the packaging and stated in pre-release materials. Downloading now, we'll see how it turns out...
EDIT: The final install to the SD card ended up being 13.1GB. the 6.45Gig mentioned in the game must have been a compressed download file. Too bad...
Got Rocket last night. Great fun, but I really really suck at it. Is this the first game on Switch with loot crates? Can’t say I’m a fan of that aspect. Kinda wish I’d have waited for a physical release, but didn’t know one was coming until after I purchased. Oh well, I guess.
I bought Rocket League this morning! Can't wait to play it! I will also get Lego Marvel later today as I've played the previous ones with my little sister. Wanted to get LA Noire but my wallet says no so it'll be for a later date.
@link3710 No, you've misinterpreted what I wrote. Ittle Dew is its own thing, it's €10 on the Wii U eShop. Ittle Dew 2 is the sequel but has been out for a year and now it's coming to Switch for €30.
But but but... Nintendo Life!!! You said Pinball FX 3 was coming out November 14th !!!!! Where is it???
@Kiz3000 I barely do online multiplayer but this seems like a fun local multiplayer game. Hopefully that 'll keep it going beyond any server shutdowns, etc.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE wow, people seem to really love hating on you. It can get quite out of hand pretty easily...
You write many things I don’t agree with, but I haven’t felt the need to attack you or anyone else when they don’t agree with me. It’s a waste of time and effort. Everyone has the right to have his/her own opinions. That doesn’t make me, or them, right or wrong.
Anyway, I’m getting carried away... what I want to say is that there is no need for everyone to become hostile because of some posts... If you (and I mean anyone) don’t like what you read, respond with good counter arguments or just ignore him/her altogether.
Played a bit of Rocket League last night. Just as fun as I remembered it. One match had some stuttering, but I think that was an internet issue. Even playing handheld, it performed great. So excited to play this again.
Also, looking forward to Ittle Dew 2+, though I'm not sure if I'll get physical or digital.
If the week wasn't so jam packed, I might have considered LA Noire.
L.A. Noire is NOT a game I would recommend. I played it through on the Xbox 360, and part way through they completely drop the ball on the plot. Unlike GTA, this game is almost entirely plot driven, and you didn't have a lot of side stuff worth doing.
Damn those prices on some games.
Rocket League for me and maybe L.A Noire.
@maruse I find @SLIGEACH_EIRE has three kinds of posts:
-exaggerated negative posts
-poking fun posts
-legitimate complaints.
I will admit I like to confuse them as well with playing dumb posts.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE I could be wrong, but from what I understand, Ittle Dew 2+ has an exclusive Dream World with 5 additional dungeons. And 2 is on Steam for $20, without the Dream World.
I'm enjoying rocket league on the switch at the moment but it has serious framerate issues on handheld mode at times. I played docked and no such problems...... anyone else having trouble?
the only game I have preloaded and waiting for is Xenoblade chronicles 2... can't play anything until it released.
Another great week. Rocket League is a great conversion on Switch and like with Doom, Panic Button have done superb work. It looks as though LA Noire has been converted well though the download issue is stupid. Lego Marvel 2 is getting enthusiastic reviews. Shame about Time.
It's really strange to see a weekly Nintendo update that looks more like something you'd see on Pushsquare. Games, games everywhere!
@SLIGEACH_EIRE Ah, it had a PC or other console release, I was unaware. Thanks for clarifying!
@SLIGEACH_EIRE You're getting boring now. When does a multi-platform game become a port and when does a port become a multi-platform game?
It's a game which is currently available on all 3 current gen consoles. It's not a port. L.A Noire, I'll give you that one.
Good to hear Rocket League is 720/60 when docked... anything less would have been disappointing, just on principle... the lower res in handheld is much more understandable.
I will be getting this and playing it tonight for the first time ever... I did briefly play the Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket Powered Battle Cars way back in the day.
I'm planning on getting Rocket League today, but I am mostly just working on Odyssey and waiting for Skyrim.
Played some Rocket League. The variable resolution is noticeable on handheld but the game is as fun as always. It's Rocket League on the go!
If you see something ridiculous, like a Nintendo-only gamer complaining about ports to a Nintendo machine, which of course makes them new games, remember they're probably just after attention.
Because complaining about new games coming out is ridiculous.
I was really excited for Pinball FX3, but it looks like I’ll have to wait a little longer, giving me more time for DOOM and Rocket League.
Why don't these updates show prices in Euros? NL is a Europe-based website, right? I can understand the British Pounds being included, obviously, but why show US Dollars yet no Euros...?
@SLIGEACH_EIRE I'm trying to rack my brains as to what third party 'ports' were even worth mentioning that came to the WiiU.......anyone?.........hello? These are good games whether or not they've been on other platforms
Pinball FX3 was due today, has it slipped?
https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2017/11/pinball_fx3_is_heading_to_the_switch_with_unique_features
November release schedule on Switch is just awful.
Just hold my money see if I can snag Disgaea 5 Complete on Switch for 19 dollars at BestBuy on Black Friday.
The telltale game was on the shelf last week when the put doom out at the local Walmart.
I'm thinking of getting super putty squad for my new 2ds!
@tsdenizen Everything you said is correct and I understand some of the issues with bringing switch games to retail and then having to put a digital price on it as well. Countless other examples have shown that it is not as simple as everyone wants it to be, but there is no way you do not work for Nicalis or developed Ittle Dew 2+ you are defending the game so hard and I feel its kind of obvious. Again though I agree with you, the game is probably appropriately priced because you are a business, you need to make money, if they game was priced cheaper you wouldn't make the profit margins you need to make to continue to publish/develop games.
Edit: Also Stardew Valley doesn't have a physical release so they didn't have to deal with that and they probably knew the game was going to be ridiculously popular on Nintendo's platform especially if they priced it at $15, now it has been top 3 best seller for weeks
@Nincompoop I think it's just the final step in the direction gaming is headed... No physical media. I'm enjoying it while it lasts, even if most of the game is not on the cart..
I'm sure I'll pick up Rocket League and Ittle Dew+ at some point in time. Batman - The Telltale Series should be in my mailbox when I get home from work.
I'm definitely get rocket league. Trying to decide of I want to wait for physical or do the digital.
@BravelyDavid I've defended The Count Lucanor and Elliot Quest with regards to other issues (not necessarily regarding price, but other things). I just really like the game. I don't work for Nicalis. Cave Story+ was VERY overpriced. If I worked for Ludosity, I wouldn't be critical of Nicalis, which I am. They're bad at marketing, generally not good to UK gamers, price hike certain games, and don't update properly on delayed games. I personally think Ittle Dew 2 is worth the money I paid for it. I'm just sick of people looking at a trailer or something, not playing the game, and saying "that's not worth that much money". How would you know? You haven't played it. It's just this annoying entitlement that's permeated the gaming community that everything must immediately blow your mind with a 30 second clip and be dirt cheap, otherwise it's terrible garbage and you're being exploited as a consumer. Don't play it, fine. Or play it, if it sucks, trash talk it to the ends of the earth. But you're making all these "assumptions" that don't help anyone.
Regarding your point about Stardew, it's had physical releases elsewhere and has always been $15 digitally. That game is an incredible value. Ittle Dew 2 (not +) is digital only on Steam for $20. The + version is $30 digitally and physically on Switch because it has extra content exclusive to that version.
I'm going to download Rocket League on my Switch tonight. If my wife and I both like it I'll download it on my wife's Switch, if my kids also like it then I'll buy it for theirs too. They may sell 3 copies off of us.
I will look into Batman. If it looks like something my wife and I might like I might get that too.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE
LA Noire bombed the first time around? Get real buddy, it was a hit. Which is why they’re remastering it again, because they believe that this very well received game will still sell well today. 9/10 on Steam, 89/100 on metacritic, sold 7.5 million copies. That’s a bomb to you?
You must use the same flawed reasoning and lack of logic in your daily obsession of ragging on the Switch like a rabbid dog.
Got any other nuggets of imagined nonsense?
Trying to remember a bigger month for third-party releases on the Switch. Stuff like Sonic Forces and Rime let the side down a bit but there's some very good games out. Probably have to go back to the early Wii days for a similar month.
@Malanta now that your using the ignore button have you found your 'safe space' 😜 Just check in on Butters every now and then and ensure reality doesn't kill him, then you'll have lost your comfy ignorance and be sad again.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE Give us a break with your everyday "another port" comment. Enough!
L.A. Noire is awesome on Switch. Not too impressed with the release time - having pre-ordered I was kind of expecting the game to unlock at midnight, but it didn't unlock until over 14 hours later. Not a big deal, but it seems kind of pointless to allow people to preload the game, only to have it unlock at a totally random time the following day.
Fantastic to see new releases midweek (even if some for Friday) even before virtual console is out.
Though still fear that'll go the way of the Nintendo arcade (still only 1 release?)
@Cosats We sure didn't get that on the PS2 (a Dreamcast port console on its first year) or the deluge of HD remakes and remasters the big HD consoles got on their 1st year.
People have short memories.
This really is an excellent week, much like every week for the last couple of months, only thing that would make it even better is if the YouTube app would be released, then I would be overjoyed! I dont mind watching it on my Xbox One but I don't want to have to switch between inputs if I can avoid it, yes I am that lazy!
Picked up Rocket League, LA Noire and Ittle Dew 2+, the latter two physically. Ittle Dew 2+ comes with an instruction manual like Isaac did in it's first run of carts.
I don't care if these are ports. I'm happy to have them on the Switch.
Some guys here and their "facts". Ittle Dew 2 and Ittle Dew 1 look the same, yeah of course - I guess they look the same if you're cross-eyed. None of you actually know anything about these games, right? From glancing at a single screenshot I can see that Ittle Dew 2+ is completely 3D and Ittle Dew 1 is completely 2D.
Last week I got Mario Odyssey and DOOM and this week I got L.A. Noire and will be getting Skyrim, just like everyone else. ^^
But I want Ittle Dew 2+ (retail) as well, as I really liked the first one on Wii U.
Enjoying LA Noire so far. Really good port (digital buy from me so no physical hampers) and looks / runs great in handheld. Also got Rocket League but that will mainly be a Christmas joy when the family is together.
Staying away from that terrible Telltale game that is some reason double the price to other consoles.. and much more expensive in UK compared to US.
Interested in Ittle Dew 2, but not particularly in the mind to support Nicalis. Even though the content additions might be there £27 is too much to swallow right now.
As for the others. Have no real opinion. Roll on Friday for Skyrim!
Honestly my wallet can not take any more of this. I got doom, l.a. noire, and Skyrim. I want to support rocket league but I need to wait. I want Batman to support tell tale but I Ned to wait for a price drop. Also saw that portal knights comes out next week but I need xc2. I get that devs want to push software in time for the holidays but I Need to quit drinking if I want to buy all the games I want. But it's nice to have a beer or two while I play....
PB sacrificed framerate for Doom to run on Switch. They sacrificed visuals for Rocket League. All these sacrifices for you to play them on the toilet. Is it worth it? You decide with your money.
Skyrim and LA Noire were enhanced with no sacrifices, but they are PS3 games and selling at premium price as if they are brand new games.
Anyone who got Rocket League can verify if it has access to the DeLorean DLC car? That was my favorite when I had it on PS4.
@AshFoxX it has the DeLorean DLC for $1.99, shows it on the eShop
Can't wait for Rocket League and, specially, L.A. Noire reviews!
@Malanta I'm guessing you're talking about a certain someone- why doesn't everyone do what I did last week and click ignore. He no longer exists in my world. 👊
LA Noire = $89.95 AUD on eshop. I would like to buy it, but not at that horrific price.
@RailX
699 Rand on the South African eshop, which is $63.61 AUD
I'm considering one of the following games:
Doom
L.A. Noire
Rocket League
I was leaning towards L.A. Noire because I missed out on this on the Xbox 360 and always wanted to play it and because it was cheaper than Doom. That was up till I found out that I would probably need to buy a new SD card before I got the game making that positive point irrelevant. I also missed out on Doom as well and heard good things about it on the PS4 but I always shied away because the ultra violent nature of the game isn't really my thing. I've played Rocket League on other platforms and I know I will buy this eventually for sure but most of my games I have for the Switch are of this nature. I'm kind of craving something with some story.
I think I just talked myself out of all three at the moment! I'll most likely wait until I finish Mario Odyssey. I'm also a little embarrassed to admit that I don't own Zelda yet but I was planning on waiting until Black Friday to see if I can find the new special edition.
I have owned Rocket League on PC PS4 Xbox One, and now the switch. If there are any Nintendo fans who have never played this game YOU HAVE TO BUY IT ASAP!!
Rocket League rocks. Pun intended. I’ve enjoyed a few great games on the switch since buying one, but I think I have a new favourite. I haven’t laughed this much, for good reasons, as I have playing this game, in a long time. It’s a lot of fun.
I've heard Rocket League is crack in videogame format, so I've actually stayed away from that for now due to limited gaming time in my life. But right sale, right time, would change that for me drastically. L.A. Noire is the one I've been waiting on and will be playing that.
On a side note, ok Rockstar fans, here's your chance to show your support for them. It'd be nice to see even more from them...
Am excited for Rocket league and LA Noire but where are the reviews NL? Both have been out nearly 3 days and neither game has been reviewed. I always wait for your reviews before parting with my cash so what gives?
Rocket league. Nothing else really floats my boat.
