Comments 24
Don't blame us, the email arrived 20 minutes ago
I'm confused: is there or isn't there a retail release for Mega Man 11 in Europe?
Happy Thursday everyone!
@RazumikhinPG Not for the Switch version. I think there's physicals for the other consoles.
@TJWorks Ok I'm confused because it's labeled as "Retail" on the list.
@RazumikhinPG the press release listed it as "Nintendo Switch (Card/Download)" but we think that might be wrong, so the list is updated
"Transistor (Supergiant Games, €16.79 / £15.49, pre-order from 01/10/2018) - The object of the game is to shoot the chickens using an array of different weaponry, from pistols to AK47, RPG’s to Alien Ray Guns! Gameplay is set over a field twice as wide as the screen, so you must be constantly moving your aim side to side in order to reach the whole game field."
Now that's what you call an exclusive Switch version. XD But seriously, @antdickens , I think there was a bit of a mixup here.
@antdickens Damn! Got my hopes up
Mario Party, I haven’t played one for years (sounds like I wasn’t missing much). Excited to give it a whirl with my other half tonight to test the strength of our relationship.
An entire day waiting for the missing update only to say (and vote): "Nothing for me this week"
Not even the deals interest me. Well maybe it's time to play my currently owned games, isn't it?
Megaman of course. For husband of course (well bought it on release) I am not Megaman player at all but he is the Megaman-generation and has been so excited ever since its announcement.
Pondering Overcooked at that price, but Overcooked 2 makes me reconsider. Plus already got DBFZ last week and Super Mario Party tomorrow
@antdickens Thats probably because the Switch is region free, so if you imported a physical cart from the US, the device will recognize it rather than be all like "Hang on, this is an eShop only download in this region? WHAT IS THIS MADNESS?!?". XD
I'm still waiting on Marble It Up. That game launched in America but not in Europe for some strange reason.
No Mark of the Ninja for Europe next Tuesday then?
Seems to becoming more of a norm of Europe getting delayed releases: happened with Marble it Up, Mark of the Ninja now
The awesome PS4 two games for 70% off deals of the last few weeks have taken up most of my cash recently. I mean BOTH Underwaterrayromano games for less than 15 quid I'm not gonna pass up. Might get a couple Zaccaria tables though.
@Starvald The European eshop update runs from the Monday just gone until the following Sunday, ie all the same week. The American eshop update runs from the Thursday of the update until the following Wednesday.
Mark of the Ninja may well be coming to Europe on the 9th but it would be on next week's update.
I'm well interested in the batman game, but hesitant because of Telltales recent demise ... Presumably then this is a complete game with no dlc, no cliffhangers, nothing. Which, is weirdly refreshing... Might wait for a sale
OK. Checked Zupapa and it's a Neo Geo rarity that's mentioned something like 3 times on the whole of the internet, and eveybody hates on. So yea, basically right up my street. Will take pride of place on my Switch alongside Gururin, another FACE 'classic'. Yu never know, it could be an amazing surprise of gaming awesomeness that is Gunbarich. Fingers crossed.
Nothing for me this week, Super Mario Party can wait and Mega Man 11 Switch got screwed over by Capcom being Capcom.
I just got the achievement in Mega Man 11's PC port for beating the game on normal without getting a game over, so I might as well double-dip and check out how it runs and how the controls feel like on the Switch too.
If only Batman had a physical release like Season 1...if only...but I doubt that's gonna happen with TellTale going under...
Shame for Megaman 11 too...I'll be importing it down the line.
And to think the European VC/eShop updates used to come at the start of every week. They be slackin'.
At £5 (or £3.90 from South African eShop), Riptide GP Renegade is an absolute bargain. It's a really fun game.
@Sakura7 Zupapa! gets 85% here:
