Nintendo Download: 28th June (North America)

Going to check the sales then I guess.

Nothing for me. I have YS VIII to play.

Thought I read No More Heroes there for a moment! But no, nothing for me.

Some really good picks this week. My copy of Wolfenstien should arrive tomorrow, can't wait.

Talking about something for everyone! This would be that week.

Does anyone know when the embargo for Wolfenstein 2 drops ?

"No heroes here" seems really like "Love in dangerous spacetime" or "overcooked" so it's a no brainer for me !

Wolfenstein physical and Crash digital! I've been waiting feverishly for Wolfenstein ever since I got Doom!

All aboard the Bandicoot train!

Interested in Air Mail, but I'll wait for reviews. Otherwise it's the long wait for Megaman X collections and Go Vacation.

I finally get to play Crash! Getting Runbow again as well.
I get disappointed every time I see that name Figment and realize it’s not about the purple dragon from Epcot...

I grabbed Lumines already, going to get Ys VIII (but physical) and chill on purchases for a bit. Ys VIII is going to keep me busy for a while anyway.

Crash Bandicoot (physical) got delivered today! Can't wait to play it when i finish work. (Still got my original Playstation version at home, one drawer down form my switch games)
Will wait for sales on Inside and Limbo

Preordered y’s and Wolfenstein

I got Ys VIII and waiting on Wolfenstein to come in the mail. CRAZY WEEK. I'm still playing through too many other games. Im interested in Crash also, but that's too much money right now and not enough time.

@Broosh And I thought it was a return of the PSP/Vita series No Heroes Allowed (aka Holy Invasion of Privacy, Badman amongst other names...).

Dang.

Any word on how Crash looks and runs? Those games look absolutely gorgeous on PS4, so I imagine they had to scale this version back a bit.

Y's VIII is on the way in the mail and should be in my hands tomorrow.

All physical for me. Wolfenstein, Ys VIII, and Crash. Oh, it’s raining games.

The last 7 days have been without doubt the strongest single week of release in the life of the Switch so far.

Mario Tennis Aces
Lumines
Wolfenstein 2
Crash Trilogy
Ys VIII
Inside
Limbo

Nothing from here. Getting the Octo expansion and Lumines on PS4.

I’ll get Runbow for sure. Possibly Inside or Limbo.

Interesting that you listed Lumines twice in back to back weeks just because it released on Tuesday. Haven't seen (or maybe just noticed) Dom doing that for other odd-day releases.

Has anybody played the new Wolfenstein yet to see if they included the full original PC version (with the "if the Nazis won" graphics) in it?

I'm between picking this one or Mario Tennis for my long plane trip next week (and possibly one of the other smaller titles.)

Insanely good week.

I downloaded the DK Adventure expansion for Mario + Rabbids and snagged a physical copy of Ys VIII. Those, alongside my backlog on other systems, should last me until Valkyria Chronicles 4 releases. Although if Octopath turns out to be remarkable, I might pick that one up, too.

Wolfie and that Spiritsphere game for me. Need to calm down on Switch games, and pour some money into Steam. Just built a linux potato and need some Slay the Spire and Ion Maiden.

Limbo, Inside, Runbow and Crash are awesome!! People need to try them!

I will be picking up Crash bandicoot and Wolfenstein tomorrow (physical) of course, and that will be all for me until July.

Ys for me. I want Wolfenstein, but its hard to justify full price for a 6 month old game, especially without any included DLC or new content

@TimeGuy i know that feeling. I used to be able to stick with a game and finish it before i moved to a new game but now i am still playing Hollow Knight, need to finish Octo Expansion and Mario & rabbits DLC. With Wolfenstein, Ys VIII, Captain Toad, Monster Hunter and possibly Dark Souls already out or coming out this summer i am spending way too much on this console and have no time to play all of it. Glad i at least already beat XC2 and Zelda as those were time sinks as well.

Where's the Wolfenstein review?

I don't anticipate high sales, similar to DOOM unfortunately.

Got my Y's VIII in the mail Tuesday, but it might be a bit before I start playing it since I"m still working on Persona 5 on PS4 so much rpg
goodness lol.

I’ll wait for sales on Figment, Limbo, and Inside. Will get Crash physical used someday.

@Mando44646 Err... Ys VIII is also an old game. Launched on PS4 last September.

I am shocked every week with the amount of releases for the Switch. So many games, not enough monies.

Finally, after the longest wait and also the question of if it would even come out, it'll be mine today!

ACA Money Puzzle Exchanger!

Seriously! And I like it more than Magical Drop!

Whole lotta want but still gotta play what i got and save money!

In a span of a single week I'll have

Mario Tennis Aces
Limbo
Inside
Wolfenstein 2
Y's VIII
Crash Trilogy
Lumines Remastered
De Blob
Mario Rabbids DKC Expansion

Craziness.

@Mando44646
I dont think its hard to justify. It'll be just as entertaining today as it would have been 6 months ago. The entertainment value you receive for your $60 today is the same you would have received 6 months ago (more, actually, with the motion controls which, at least for me, make the game way more fun to play).

It might be more justifiable to get it elsewhere for less, but it's not really less justifiable here. But that's a question only you can answer for yourself. As for me, the additional value of 2 versions in one and the additional value of motion more than makes up the difference. That and I already bought it for X1X. Immediately stopped playing though when I heard about this version.

I'm getting Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus. Loved the first one on PS4 and loved Doom both on Switch and PS4, and since playing it on Switch I decided that this was the way to go with this kind of game. Aa good handheld FPS is a dream come true for me. Nintendo should try to do their own IP first person shooter.

I'll pick up YS VIII at some point in the next month, but right now, I am in no hurry to get it. Wolfenstein seems to be a significant upgrade on XBX even over the PS4P, so I'll have to skip the Switch version for sure. It just don't enjoy these kinds of games on the tiny screen with the still somewhat tiny sticks and cramped controls. It works, but it's more than a significant downgrade for me in instances like this.

I might pick up the MxR DLC though, if I find myself in the mood for it in the next few days.

@Pokefanmum82 Y’s VIII is an option though.

@JaxonH Thats a fair point in your case. Me? I utterly despise motion controls, so it does nothing for me.

The trade-off is economic - if someone has two platforms (say a PS4/XBO and a Switch), why would someone choose to pay $60 on Switch over $20 on PS4/XBO? Portability is a huge factor for me, but thats certainly not worth $40 on its own. Which is why the season pass really should have been included to offer additional value.

Ultimately, I will probably get it. But not for a while when it drops pretty steeply in price

Physical Wolfenstein and crash. I hope crash is physical.

@Dysnomia I got it physically and it arrived the day before it came out in stores.

This is one of the weeks that the limit of only choosing three could be problematic for some people.

I voted for Inside, Dream Alone and Wolfenstein, even though I'm getting the latter physically. Also picking up Limbo and Crash (physically as well).

I bought Ys VIII physical copy... That was a mistake. After playing several hours I've learned I should have bought it digital. THIS GAME IS AWESOME

Whaaat, both Wolfenstein2 and Crash come out tomorrow?! Crap, that's a hard choice.

Holy cow we’re drowning in Switch games! Throw me a line!! Lol

Oh forgot about Crash! I will wait though as i have on PS4! 😊

@BraveBiT

Agreed, I needed to pick one or the other. I opted for Wolfenstien cause I'm itching for a game like that. But yeah, I hear you, it was a really hard choice for me too.

@TimeGuy haha, same here. Such a satisfying sight to have all those options available even when you make no use of it (yet).

Lumines and Moto gp for me next Friday (trying to get the NES classic tomorrow). I'm passing on Ys with Octopath so close. I'll get it after I beat octopath. After that I have some DLC I need to buy. Wolfenstein is on the list.... but much later in the year. I have a backlog already and FPS is my most detested genre.

Does anyone know how big the download size for wolfenstein 2 is? im tryna figure out if i have enough space

Just ordered Wolfenstein a few minutes ago on Amazon - they still have the prime pre order discounts, so it came to $47.99. Not a bad deal at all.

This was a pretty great week. I look forward to playing the Crash trilogy tomorrow and getting together with some friends to play Runbow next week. I may even pick up Lumines if I’m looking for a little something more.

Wolfenstein II:TNC and Ys VIII: LoD are the top one's I want to get my hands on. I'll be seeking to GameFly them if at all possible. Renegade arcade... I only played the 1P NES one, so I'm intrigued to know how the 2P arcade of this is. Looking forward to its review. There's a bunch of other things too on that list that are backlog fodder and am looking forward to the reviews of them:

Inside - This one intrigues me.
Limbo - This one not so much... but a review could change that.
Anima: GoM
The Journey Down: Chapter Two - Point and click, but not sure if I'm feeling the series.

I picked up a real copy of Ys 8, so I didn't click it as it asked for downloads.

@SecondServing it’s 21.8GB. I have it pre-loaded.

I wish they'd have first week sales on new releases, especially for ports like Inside and Limbo, then I'd be more motivated to pick it up immediately, while now I may hold off for a sale first...same for Figment.

There are games I like but can wait maybe for a sale, I still have some backlog and I’m enjoying Paladins and Fortnite

RENEGADE!

Money Puzzle Exchanger has been my #1 dream NEO GEO game since HAMSTER started porting these over to Switch! My #2 is Neo Mr. Do!

nothing until Code of Princess for me

Just bought Mario v Rabbids Gold for $44 and Ni No Kuni 2 for $35 on Sunday so I'm good this week.

Interested in Mushroom Wars 2 next week, hopefully there's a review beforehand to see if it plays like a console game or mobile game on Switch.

Lumines Remastered I already got. I will pick up Wolfenstein. I think I might also get Moto GP18. I need a racing game that is an actually a racing game.

My physical copy of Crash comes in tomorrow. I grew up playing a ton of Crash 3 on the PS1, and I played through the original trilogy last year to get ready for N. Sane Trilogy (Back when I was planning to get a PS4 much sooner, never happened though). I really can't wait to play through the remakes, it's one of my favorite game trilogies of all time and I've waited years for anything good to come out of Crash! Still can't believe it's coming to the Switch!

Cue .gif of Reggie doing the Runbow dance.

Hey, could you make a table of all the eShop games on sale in the North America eShop, as you do for the European eShop? That would be very handy kthxbai.

Excellent week. Too many games, not enough time or money.

I want Wolfenstein but I'll wait for reviews.

I might pick up Thumper or Late Shift on sale this week.

@Pokefanmum82 still counts though right? I mean, it was an option. The voting is for games, not just downloads.

I selected it. I got the special edition directly from NIS.

I'm kind of surprised by how long this review embargo on the Switch version of Wolfenstein 2 is apparently lasting. I figured reviews would be out by now.

@Giygas_95
Some reviews are out but they are mostly in Italian or something.

The game is obviously good and it looks great on Switch when docked. What I want to know is how it plays in handheld mode though, because if it isn't very playable then I could just get it on Xbox/PS4 for cheaper.

@CaPPa Yeah, I saw a few on Metacritic. I know it's gonna be good, but I like reading reviews for games I like. And I'm sure it'll be just as good as or better than Doom was in handheld mode.

Lumines and Crash for me. I want to hear more about Wolfenstein before I decide.

Hollow Knight is taking most of my game time, so not interested in anything new at the moment... I did pick up FTL for the ol' iPad for $2, actually. Been meaning to play that one for a long time.

@Fake-E-Lee @Drussa The value of Hollow Knight is kind of amazing for those who can stick with it. I'd pay $60 for a sequel in a couple years without blinking.

@subpopz if you're into switch you're into portability. There's no other reason you'd buy the switch version of a game. Granted, that appears to be a decently sizeable market, but still. That's the only reason. It can only go so far. More than Wii U, sure. But more than the N64? Not a chance, and for a company that consolidated their development teams and put all their eggs in one basket, it's suicide.

So much to like here but I'm still deep in Darkest Dungeon and Paladins, and just bought Dragon Quest Builders because I promised the kids we'd get it. I'm dying to get Ys VIII and Wolfenstein, but I've got to clear out some of my backlog first.

Y's, Wolfenstein, Runbow, and Crash Bandicoot for me(I'll take a gander at the other stuff). Good grief there's so much piling up, and with Octopath right around the corner... 😰😰😰 Haha. This summer is pretty much on lockdown.

@aaronsullivan absolutely. The game is beautiful, stunning and brutal at times. Probably the game with highest value per dollar for me.

@JaxonH I’d like to be able to clone myself so that I can go to work and the other me can stay home and play games all day and catch up on the backlog!! 😂😂

@joey302
Tell me about it.

Woke up this morning, saw Wolfenstein 2 was downloaded (it looks incredible in handheld mode btw) and immediately wanted to call in. And I still haven't started Y's VIII.

@JaxonH lol yea Wolfenstein does look great! Other 3rd parties should sit up and take notice to what Bethesda & Panic Button are pulling off with the Switch!! EA is ridiculously scared to take a risk other than FIFA and 2k’s announcement of Carnival Games (WHAT?? No GTA??) is not what I expected next from them either and Konami?? Ugh!!! At least Capcom is finally jumping almost completely into the Switch waters but this 3rd party situation is still Crazy being the Switch has proven itself with sales! 😑

@gatorboi352
??? The Switch will outsell the N64 within the next 8-9 months.

The Switch is selling like previous Nintendo handhelds and the Wii, with the price and attach rate similar to that of previous Nintendo home consoles. The market isn't "sizable"; it's huge.

Unless of course, you believe in the "It's all gonna fall off a cliff, you'll see" theory...
