Nintendo Download: 6th September (North America)

Just Hyper Light Drifter for me. Guess I was the first to vote because Hyper Light Drifter was at 100%!

@Giygas_95 Nope, I voted for it, too! And yeah, same for me.

YES!!!!. After waiting all morning, Hyper Light Drifter is LIVE

@Vriess It is? Usually stuff that releases on Thursdays goes live at approximately 11 AM central time.

Got blade strangers and god wars (and spiderman). So I am good. Will get hyperlight drifter though.

Hyper Light Drifter! Sweet.

Does anyone else notice that the Switch has been getting a lot of games lately that have been free on PlayStation Plus?

Gone Home, Broforce, and Dust for instance this week. I bet a lot of these games are seeing less than stellar Switch sales because of all of us PS gamers who already got their game for free.

indies, Indies Everywhere.

@Giygas_95 Bigger releases go up a little early sometimes. And first party stuff is generally up at midnight. You’re right though 11 central time is usually when the full store update goes live.

Hyper Light Drifter being $20 is a big turnoff for me. I'll wait for a sale

Nada. I'm saving my cash for Online Subscription.

I'll be wishing and hoping for the best for Japan this week.

@imgrowinglegs yeah between PSN and Live, its hard to justify buying many of these games, especially at full price, even though I would prefer them on a handheld

I liked Gone home quite a bit but I wouldn’t spend more than 5 bucks on it.

@imgrowinglegs Gone Home was free on the xbox one like a year ago. My girlfriend was playing it. It looked interesting, but only like, "do I actually want to dedicate any time to this," levels of interesting, not, "here's money," interesting.

Nothing this week. Still playing lots of my other games, and waiting for some NES games later this month.

As another said that $20 tag on Hyperlight is a turnoff. But for someone who has never played it... that’s not bad considering it is supposed to be the definitive edition. So here’s to $20 combat rolling out of my wallet!

Thoughts and wishes to Japan...

Already have Hyper Light Drifter preloaded, as I do with Bastion. I'd also have Dust: An Elysian Tale and Surgeon Simulator preloaded if the option was there.Ninja Commando Neo Geo should also appear today as it's on the European store.

"Kentucky Robo Chicken," eh? Why do I feel like this game is going to be an embarrassment to my home state...?

@imgrowinglegs No, not really, PC/Switch here. That just means you've been paying for Indies on PS that you could've had on Switch

Also: no HAMSTER ACA discounts in US/EU, so just in JP? Edit: never mind, I see they are up in EU so will probably also come to US. I'll probably get Alpha Mission II with that 40% discount

nothing

@Mando44646 This'll be my third or fourth copy of Drifter and still worth the money I paid.

We need the Broforce to fly in and bring disaster relief to Hokkaido.

(actually, maybe not)

Soooo many games!!! I’ve bought Broforce twice already, so I won’t buy it a third time, unless it’s $5. But I’m interested to find out why everyone loves HLD so much

Good grief....Broforce, Dust, HLD, Chiki-Chiki Boxy Racers, and Planet Alpha. My poor wallet.

So in the 8 and 16 bit days developers tried not to let you see the pixels and today they try make the pixels as visible as possible.

Did NBA 2K19 also push the limits of its save file size?

I’ll get HLD eventually but $20 is a bit of a turn off and I’m just too busy and have too much else to play right now.

@Megal0maniac I mean, I don’t pay for Plus to get the free indie games. That’s just a bonus perk. And in the end I save more with Plus-exclusive sales than I spend on the annual subscription, so it all evens out in the end.

Anyways, I didn’t mean to derail this into PlayStation talk. Oops.

@Giygas_95
I had HLD preloaded. I work night shifts this week, checked a couple of times this morning but needed to sleep. Woke up at 3PM and immediately checked if the game was live. It wasn't. At least, not here in France. Now it is, so it's all good

Hyper light drifter and Dust: An Elysian tail for me. Will have a lot of fun with them.

@Megal0maniac There's nothing yet listed on Nintendo's 'sales & deals' page. I hadn't heard about this, which ACA games are on sale in Europe? Is it all the non-Neo-Geo stuff?

Broforce, Planet Alpha, Hyper Life Drifter, Gone Home, Dust: An Elysian Tale and SNK Heroines.

Hyper Light and SNK for me, but I’m gonna do SNK for PS4. Read elsewhere that SNK is only a variable 30fps on Switch and for a fighter, I can’t do it. The review on NL for SNK, never mentions performance and really it should. Especially if the title is multi platform. I wanted SNK for my Switch, but if I had a choice (and I do) I’m gonna go with the better performing version. I’ll just move my preorder over to FighterZ. It’s all good

@EternalPain NBA 2K19 and SNK Heroines say hi.

I kind of want SNK Heroines . Don't judge me... Okay you can judge me, I don't mind. I might wait for it to go on sale though. I think NIS America games go on sale within 2 months.

@joedick there's a few Neo Geo games, yeah. Check NL's EU eShop update!

@imgrowinglegs but.. Would you even buy those games even if they weren't on a PS Plus sale? Paying to being able to pay for sales. If everything is just a perk, you're paying for something allright

@JJ286 yeahh but just two :V, ok ok.

Nothing for me on Switch till Xeno2 DLC.

After 2 days with DQXI, I am ok with giving my Switch a break for a Month.

Gonna try SNK. Though i've been addicted to monster hunter, so might be hard to pull myself away from that lol

@Megal0maniac Some of them, yes. I mainly have PS+ for the discounts though.

$60 a year saves me well over $150 in discounts. So yes, I’m paying...but then I save far more than I pay AND get free games of vastly varying quality, haha.

@Not_Soos Everytime I see that title, I get excited thinking that Kentucky Route Zero is finally out.

Dust is an awesome game and plan on getting it when it releases

Really wish Tokai Watch Blasters was on Switch. I’ll get it but don’t know if I’ll ever go back to the 3ds. Definitely my last game for it.

Just spotted and bought Monkey King: Master of the Clouds which is a port of the first shoot 'em up I ever loved,the Master System classic Cloud Master.

Also just noticed several Neo Geo games on sale with 40% off. That's a first! Finally bought King of the Monsters, a game I've wanted to play for near 30 years.

Just bought Broforce too!

Still waiting on Arcade Archives Vs. Excitebike.

I don't know if anyone has mentioned this, but there is a sale on some of the NeoGeo games. Sadly, Metal Slug X isn't included (I've been waiting for a sale on it).

Edit: Just realized someone just said this.

Broforce — I'll backlog this, just waiting on a review. The caricatures of well known action stars is almost worth the price of admission alone lol

Dust: An Elysian Tail — I'm not sure how this one is not getting much votes, so I look forward to a review. I get Muramasa: The Demon Blade feels from this. Granted, it's thumbnail doesn't do it much justice. Backlogged.

FullBlast — Backlog for now. This one talks the game about shmups I used to play but the graphics look toyish to me. Nonetheless I'll await a review.

Gone Home — This my speed ALL day, but will backlog it for a sale. If it's point-and-click, looking around, detective, mystery, searching for stuff then I'm all on it.

Hyper Light Drifter: Special Edition — Backlogged, but I feel this will get a physical copy, then I'll rent it. I gotta experience this much hyped game myself.

Lifeless Planet: Premiere Edition — This didn't review well, but like Gone Home above, this is a game right in my territory and what I also called a "something to do between other games" game.

NBA 2K19 — I won't be doing anything with this, but just wanted to comment that it's nice to still see some sports love on the switch. Who knows? Under the right circumstance maybe I would pursue it.

Planet Alpha — People's opinion were quite divided on this game. I like the fact that it was inspired by Out of This World, but not sure if it's something I would commit to. I don't think I'll be adding this to the backlog for now. (It's a shame I have to curate my backlog now LOL)

Time Carnage looks like a FP arcade shooter like Terminator Salvation or that Pirate game I can never seem to remember the name of . . . but always play with the kids. Guess I have a few more days to gather intel (releases 9/12), but thinking I'm in . . . .

Oh hey, the Switch version of Dust: An Elysian Tail released today. Kind of a crowded week to throw that out on, but beng as old as it is, I doubt it would've gotten much attention either way, being a re-release of a 6 year old indie game. Still nice to see it kicking, though.

Can't talk, playing Broforce!

Went all in on Hyper Light Drifter. I know very little about the story so im excited to tap into it. From what I've read it's a 'zelda-like' with some ALTTP In it. Not sure how true that is but since we don't have ALTTP on switch, here we go!

@Mando44646 HLD is the same price on Steam and PS4, yet you're getting the game on the go and with exclusive content. I'm surprised the infamous Switch Tax that's tacked on to many multiplats once they hit the Switch wasn't applied to it. Not sure what you're complaining about...

Had a good bit of fun with the Miles and Kilo demo for its 5 minute length, it's what I was expecting out of Kid Tripp in the first place, alas I have used up all of my luxuries budget for the month

I'm playing Xenoblade Chronicles 2 for the first time, so it has my time wrapped up pretty tight. No games for me this week.

If the SNK sale is a real thing, in U.S., I’m picking up Shock Troopers, but my budget mostly goes to Spidey this month.

I'm still a little ashamed to admit NBA 2k18 is my most played game on Switch at almost 200 hours, but I'm not ashamed to support the new release day one. 2k19 will be it for me this week.

@baller98 I played a little online, most of my those hours come from playing local with friends and teammates though. The animations didn't bug me as much as I thought, and they really patched it up well after the awful initial release.

@MeloMan I can recommend Broforce, it's really good fun, especially co-op. It's got a bit of Dig Dug about it too with the destructable environments, something I didn't know going in. I was playing 4 player online Co-op last night and I couldn't stop laughing at the chaos on screen. We had one good player (not me) and 3 terrible players but the 3 of us kept killing the good player accidentally Dig Dug style.

error on the page: miles/kilo demo link leads to swimout page

I platinumed Hyper Light Drifter on PS4. One of my favorite games the year it released. I highly recommend it.

@OorWullie Whelp, that sold me right there. 4P online? Good. Destructible environments? Good. Hilarity? Good. Looks like me and player 2 gonna have a ball with this one lol. Do you know if it's staggered multiplayer, like 2 people play locally and team up with 2 people online?

Hyper Light Drifter Allllll Weekend Baby!
