Slimes.
The true question is:
When can I play splatoon with the toycon house?
@Varubajia Cytus and Deemo are considered hits in the rhythm genre, Mantis Burn Racing got a 9/10 from NintendoLife, and Shovel Knight is self-explanatory. Ambition of the Slimes wasn't a standout, but it got good enough reviews to be worth playing if you're into the genre, so not shovelware.
Just because you don't recognize the titles doesn't mean the games are shovelware lol.
@link3710 Well said. I think the quality of games that Flyhigh Works publishes is usually pretty good. Deemo is a 10/10 for me, my favourite rhythm game on the Switch. I'll be buying a Labo kit just to try it with the piano.
Alwa's Awakening looks and sounds glorious! Watched a youtube trailer for it. I think I need it.
Still waiting for all those 1st party Switch games lying Reggie and their gullible fanboys all say were going to be shown...
@link3710 Okay sorry maybe 90% was a little high because I own Shovel Knight and I agree it is a verry good game, I also own Mantis Burn Racing and I liked it too but the online was dead on it unfortunately.
@pika677 thats why there only 3 Upcoming Switch 1st Party games. the others are coming in 2019. (unless you want to count expansions/dlc.)
Oh, but wake me up when they announced animal crossing.
@pika677 It was the Labo thing. But, then again you are quite oddly selective “Mario Party doesn’t count” (What?), so you probably don’t consider it anyway. You won’t see this anyway due to how “selective” you were with looking at info on Wikipedia pages and blocked me do to your selectiveness.
I recommend Mantis Burn Racing to anyone who likes top down racers. I always come back to it especially on plane rides and waiting rooms.
@pika677 I was curious about you so I took a look at your previous comments. You must really love the word ‘fanboy’. I guess it makes you feel good about yourself. Just remember you frequent this site just as much as anyone else so you’re not any better 🤪
@link3710 Amen. The term shovelware gets tossed around here like it doesn't already mean something.
Ambition Of The Slimes actually got a really good by a poster on ResetERA that put it on my radar. Don't sleep on itn
@Varubajia answer to the post # 3: Shovelware, surely, they are not. Quick to judge, without knowing, certainly you are.
Alwa's Awakening has an incredible NES chiptune soundtrack. Check it out
@Eef deemo physical is incoming..
@Eef my pleasure. guaranteed jp physical. n esrb reveals a western one is incoming also..
@Aozz101x yes Animal Crossing please.
Honestly Deemo has been out since 2013 so I've already played it and you can't be upset that people aren't thrilled it's coming though. I mean it's cool I guess that it is getting Labo but most people don't care.
The rest look meh to me.
That's a lot of games in this presentation!
Cool to see so many quirky western games make it to Japan as well.
