Kill la Kill physical for me. The demo was good and a fighter like this, on the go, is perfect.
Just got the notification that my "physical" copy of Wolfenstein was delivered... Hope the code works tonight
Gonna pick up the Mighty Switch Force collection. Those games are really fun, and i’m happy they are now on Switch.
Any word on Turok 2 release date?
@AG_Awesome "2019" is all the info I could find.
Even if you're not one of the 1% (at the time of this writing) that want to get The Ninja Warriors, at least take some time to jam out to one of the best first level themes in all of gaming.
What a great week for releases. I’ll start with FE, but Fantasy Strike, Wolfenstein, Mutant Year Zero, and Super Mega Baseball have all been added to my wish list. Still just working through MUA3, SSM2, and DQB2. Man, that last 5 months of the year are going to kill my wallet.
@SmaMan
Count me in... and it's 3% at this moment!
Super pumped for Forager, I'll need to find time between Dauntless, God Eater, and Dragon quest builders 2 tho...
Super mega baseball is really fantastic. Have on my PS4 but will be buying again
Might have to get The Ninja Warriors game and maybe the Mighty Switch Force Collection.
I'm very interested in Super Mega Baseball. Not sure if I'll pick it up right away, though...I have a lot of games that need to be played, ha.
Nothing else for me. Big week, though, I think lots of people are gonna have fun with Fire Emblem and Wolfenstein!
@AG_Awesome I’ve been watching for news on that (and the announced physical releases) like a creep hawk.
FE3H and nothing else. It is all I need. Just waiting on the unlock. That game is what joy looks like, right there.
I'm conflicted with Wolfenstein. I want to get it on Xbox because obviously it will look better, but I love motion aiming on Switch, it makes shooters so much more enjoyable for me.
Got Wolfenstein coming in the mail. I like having a box to look at but prefer digital copies for convenience so this is the best of both worlds for me. I also plan to eventually get Fire Emblem, probably with the season pass.
@nab1 You could buy one version now and play it, and if you like it enough, get the other later. I got the Switch version for now since Amazon had the Deluxe Edition for just a couple dollars more than the standard edition. I like motion aiming too, but if you can do without it like me, and you don't usually play your Switch outside the home (also like me), you'd probably be better off with the Xbox version. If portability is a must, I say go with the Switch version.
@nintendolife - you should add the Fire Emblem Expansion Pass to this
Another solid week!
Raiden V physical
Ninja Warriors (last week)
Super Mega Baseball 2
Caladrius Blaze
Zombie Driver
And Trine 4 a possibility!
And if today’s Hamster game is a good one then that too!!
As a Swede who played the Mutant table-top RPG as a kid, Mutant year zero is a must for me.
Yeap it's all about Fire Emblem this weekend for me now.
I voted Caged Garden Cock Robin because how could you not?
Great week!
I'll stick to Fire Emblem, though. Which is already preloaded and ready to go on my Switch.
My fire emblem warfare edition should be coming in tomorrow!!! Hopefully early. So so excited!!
Hopefully my Wolfenstein is on the way! I’m very excited for it. I don’t have anything else on my radar until Zelda hits in September so maybe I can work through some backlog.
All I got was the DQB2 season pass. Still have a ton of that game left.
The obvious one eventually, but I am also looking forward to Forager and that baseball game if it reviews well enough.
Definitely gonna get fe three houses, kill la kill, and wolfenstein
I'll see if something great is on sale. Maybe Ape Out. I loved the demo.
I'll likely pick up Wolfenstein: Youngblood on PS4 when it goes on sale.
@baller98 nice! Sold.
Can't wait to try wolfenstein. First in the series for me
@Realness I was really looking forward to Kill La Kill, but the demo was weird. I only tried the Story Mode. After what felt like half an hour I was still watching cutscenes I already knew from the show and hadn't seen even a second of game play, so I just stopped.
Really curious to see the review for Young Blood. Did I miss it somehow, or haven't we gotten one yet?
I've freed up my gaming schedule for Fire Emblem. I'll likely get the Mighty Switch Force Collection, but at a later date.
