QubicGames Is Giving Away 10 Free Nintendo Switch Games: Today's Game Is Space Pioneer

Hm, guess I should've picked up Robonauts when it was $.49...

That is some genius marketing right there.

Not really interested in the games though.

None of those games really interest me but that certainly is some unique marketing. I like it.

Its an advent calander.

That's so cool, I'm definitely interested

"You can also search through our very own eShop database."

How? Typing in "qubicgames" yields no results.

A great idea! Im pretty sure at least one of those games will already be on sale so Im up for getting 10 more games for free!

Their free to play coloring book game applies to the deal, essentially getting you all 10 games free.

https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/coloring-book-switch/

Small sneaky tip to help anyone interested: One of their games called coloring book is free. If that's in your library it'll allow you to start the free game cascade.

I assume the mystery game will be the duck twin-stick shooter as it's in the promo image?

this is dope, I already own the majority but cool nonetheless. REKT is a personal favorite time waster

This is really nice of them! Unfortunately I'll be out of the country for most of this promotion (and away from internet).

This is really cool! None of the games strike me as must plays but no use in trying them all for free!

Nice
I already have Robonauts and Geki Yaba Runner (they gave them away back then)
I'll try to keep up mostly to grab Rekt and Mana Spark, but I'll take a look in the games along the way
But my favorite game from them is Akane for sure

If you watch the video they actually even reference the free game!

Looking at the games I actually think most of them look ok and lets face it what do you have to lose?...nothing!

lol I already have one strike. I guess I'll get the coloring book game today.

Some of these games is good. I bought 2 of them.

@ryancraddock No, it just takes me to "All Games", unfortunately.

I can't say I'm terribly interested in these (though I'll still download them, because why not?), but I intend to gift my old Switch to my sister soon, so these will be a nice addition to and really boost her modest library. Due to her various conditions, I only intend to give her a right Joy-Con (and maybe a Pro Controller or equivalent later on) as she has issues with coordination.

This could also be a great way to gauge the sorts of games that would be suitable for her in future.

Either way, I am grateful to QubicGames for their generosity. It is really appreciated.

Thank goodness I already purchased One Strike, then.

I bought Robonuats really cheap way back then and got Geki Yabba Runner for free I think, and the coloring book as well.

I wonder if there's any chance I remember to get the rest?

I have five of these (and probably a bunch of others by QG), so it sounds like the rest of the list is in my pocket unless I manage to sleep through the respective dates.😆 Don't mind if I do!

@RainbowGazelle https://www.nintendolife.com/companies/qubicgames

This is smart
It will bump all of this games to the top of the eshop charts which in teen make them selling better in the future and help building their name

I already have Robonauts but a 9 games boost to my library is always welcome

@ryancraddock @nhSnork Yeah, that works. Cheers.

Like Tantani points out — this is VERY likely a ploy to get their games in the eShop Top 30 charts for Christmas Day... but it's quite a clever one.

Used to see devs/publishers doing this on iOS, drastically trying to manipulate their chart position before the charts locked over the main Christmas days.

Can't beat free, and some of these look like I could kill an hour or two in-between Fire Emblem binges. I'll see how many I can remember to actually stop and download.

(also, though it's redundant at this point, I still wanted to take a moment and gripe that we're 3 years in, and still no folders on the home screen. This is a perfect example of where a folder titled "QubicGames" would neatly fit all these onto the home screen)

I picked up One Strike a few months ago on sale and enjoy playing it every once in a while, so why not.

I doubt any of these are fantastic but they're free so why not. I've only tried the first two games on the list before. I didn't really like the Robonauts demo but I played 2 Fast 4 Gnomz demo on 3DS back in the day and it seemed like a fine time waster.

I’m going to get all of them, but then after delete the ones that don’t look good. Which of these are good and which are bad?

@lemonjellydude What do we have to lose? Storage!

rubbish games, amazing method

@RainbowGazelle capitalise the Q and the G

I'll do this just to check out Mana Spark, which I have almost bought a couple of times but, ended up not actually buying. I'll try out One Strike too.

Am just wondering how much space all those games will take up on my SD card. Guess I can always delete the ones I don't want afterwards. REKT is the game I'm most interested in and maybe Mana Spark.

@Omedru Once you've "bought" them it's added to your library. I suppose you can delete them instantly and it will still count. There's other publishers who give discounts when another of their games is in your library, but you don't need to have it installed for it to work.

Y'all need to at least play Mana Spark and REKT

Already got Robonauts so I'm ready for tomorrow.

@Shambo I was wondering the same

Yeah you can complain about the games but they are free, what is Nintendo giving you for Christmas?

Haha, just downloaded Coloring Book to get Robonauts. Why not take advantage of this? Thanks QG.

@Hissscratch139 That's what I intend to do. As long as you grab them while they are free, you should be able to delete them if they are eating up space and get them back anytime you feel like it.

@AndyRogan I think that's how it works. I'd try it out to confirm it for anyone here, but it's to late. Maybe you can try it now, by downloading the colorbook game, deleting it, and checking if robonauts is free? You can always install it again if it's required, but I don't think it will be.

I already own Puzzle Book from them. It's nice for kids. If only there were puzzles with a lot more pieces

@Shambo in my experience (and I certainly don't have all 300+ of my Switch titles downloaded at a time), any "own x to get a discount for y" applies to ownership itself and automatically calculates the price drop. It checks the account data, not the contents of Switch storage.

@Desrever indeed, although for now, there's at least the ability to sort the library screen by publisher (and the names will be shown when each item is highlighted).

I have One Strike and Geki Yaba when it was free so I’m excited for some new stuff and super happy REKT is one of the games cause I was on the fence about it and I can’t argue with free. That video is the first I’ve seen #RaceDieRun and that’s looks cool too. Good deal I like this idea a lot!

I like these guys. I bought robonauts on sale years ago (it’s decent fun for cheap) and since then they pretty much offer everything at giant discounts.

One Strike is definitely worth it.

If I download a free demo of Robonauts, will I still be able to download the full game for free?

Hang on...

... Just making a list of all the games I want here...

...

...

... Yep, that should do it...

None please.

Not all of these are winners - but there's some great ones in there.

Highlights for me include - Rekt, Mana Spark and One Strike

They already have dirt cheap sales and then spam the game channels with the same news and info.

Wreckin Ball Adventure, Mana Spark and Rekt. Sure, I'll ride out the rest. Really cool.

I just noticed that all but a couple of the comments here - be they positive, neutral, whatever - have at least one downvote in a way that seems...equal parts suspicious and pointless. Was someone throwing a little tantrum or something?

As for the actual article, I think it's a neat marketing idea, but I'm not really interested in the games themselves. Which is just as well, because it's a lot less neat when you can't reliably access the internet every one of those days. (Nintendo systems hate my current router, unfortunately.)

One Strike and Rekt are good. Bought both for a combined 2 bucks and got my money's worth anyways. Wouldn't recommend them at full price though

Looks neat. Not too sure I'll remember each day, however.

will be sure to get these already got Geki Yaba Runner for free cause I got their Jumping Joe & Friends game other then that game the rest are ones I don't got

@SpiderSquid just download the full game while it's free and you will always be able to redownload it in the future

Free is the right price.....if I hate them I delete them later

Who would complain? Maybe they're not the best but ill at least download and try them all out. Mana spark and rekt look to be the best of the bunch. And im wondering what the mystery game is...

Ehh, not my style of games but an awesome deal for someone.

Is cancelled download also counted?

Free games for a rainy day are nice.

Also, being on the eShop let me know that Dauntless is out on the Switch, too... downloads as well

@Kalmaro I got into Qubic Games when the Switch was in ints youth and few games were in its library. Some of them do provide some fun. However, many of them feel like they were just built to have a friend over. Not that there's anything wrong with that. I have Robonauts and One Strike. Although, I would like to get Blazin' Beaks.

I almost caved and bought REKT; glad I didn't.
Not that these look that good, but hey. Also, thanks.

Conveniently had downloaded coloring book months ago looking for ways to entertain the youngins, might as well take them up on this offer. If even one of the games is good it will have been well worth it.

I tried some of these games..... they are not good... i wouldnt even touch them for free

I did already own Coloring Book, and I did pay for it actually. A little something to keep the niece occupied when I need to watch her over for longer than an hour.
So totally grabbing these.

@VaderLater Ahhh, THAT's why it let me download Robonauts. I downloaded that color book thing a while back during a demo spree. 😃

The only ones that really interest me are One Strike and Wreckin Ball Adventure. Guess that means I can break the chain early.

Just nabbed Robonauts free. Quite generous of them to do this, I think other companies should take note.

How are they going to make any money off of this?

@XCWarrior Their games go up the list of most downloaded games, others see that lots of people have picked them up, give it a try as a result

Coloring blBook and Puzzle Book are actually both very good.

So for a short period the charts will go from list of "games that cost less than a dollar" to list of "free games".

Thanks for posting this, I might have missed it. Just spent the morning coloring with my kid and it was surprisingly relaxing lol. This is a pretty insane giveaway and the best part for me is I haven't played any of these titles.

@ChibiNinja either someone made a bot or is downvoting everything.

Sad virgin they are.

Same thing happening on gematsu but clearly has to be a bot

no thank's, i'm passing :v.

I have mana spark and the knomes who jump collecting chronic and its OK but mana spark is OK if you into that sort of thing.

Fantastic idea. Lets try to get them all!

Got the 6 games I don’t have saved to my wishlist, so I should get notifications when they get their discounts until the last game gets announced.

Qubic's Games are very much pick up and play. I've often picked them up cheap and played for an hour. I've never felt cheated. Even with this deal I just bought Rekt last week and again dont feel I've missed out not waiting. Still a couple on there to pick up for free so looking forward to that.

None of the games look that interesting and I've never played a QubicGames game before but it's 10 free games, I'm not turning that down

This is pretty awesome.

I'm not sure how many of the games I'll actually like, however, since they're free it definitely doesn't hurt to try them out, after all who knows, maybe I'll enjoy a few of them.

I got One Strike, wonder what the mystery game is...

Koloro is pretty dope

I already own Mana Spark.. which is a great roguelike.

I downloaded Robonauts and it's awesome too.

These games are very retro in gameplay and graphics and probably wont appeal to people who prefer modern games. These might not be your style. They are great games for a particular audience though.

All I really play are Retromodern and Retro style games so this is right up my alley. I like some modern games, especially Nintendos modern first party games and a few others. But i'm more of a Retro, Arcade and Casual(Animal crossing etc) type gamer.

One Strike and Racedierun are fantastic

Thanks for reporting this after the offer for Robonauts has expired. So if you need to keep the chain going and no one jumped on Robonauts, the rest of the campaign is null and void

@Scottwood101 - in fairness, they did report this earlier. They've updated the original article to note that the second game is now up for grabs.

@LaVelle So can you get today's game without having got yesterday's game? It says in the article that you need to keep the chain going?

@Scottwood101. Apologies if I'm misunderstanding something here. No, you can't get the game without buying yesterday's. But, if you want to get the other free games then you could catch up by purchasing the previous one and still get some titles for nothing. I was just trying to note that the original article did go up when the first game was announced as free - so people could hop on board from the beginning. They have now updated that article so that people can either download the second game or hop on board if they want to still take advantage of the offer.

@Scottwood101 Robonauts is currently only 87p, so you can buy that and then get every other game for free.

WOW! This is great. My Switch is locked so my kids can play it safely, and I guess some of these games will be great entertainment for them.

I also got to this a bit late and had to purchase Robonauts for £0.87p so well worth is so far.

Shame, missed the boat on this. Can't be bothered to purchase though :shrug:

I don't have the space on my Switch to actually download these, but I'll still claim them (hoping to get a memory card for Christmas).

Is that american or europe times?

It's not showing Geki as free yet

I'm doing just cause I want a few of the games. Since coloring book was free. I will try these games for free.

@BenAV I already have rekt and mana spark that mean I can get the last game free on Xmas eve then lol

Just so you guys know, even if you aren't interested in the games, this is a great way to rack up some free gold points. You know, to get games you actually want...

I’m just going to keep it real like I do on here. These games suck. But a solid plan nonetheless.

I have One strike, rekt, mana spark and robonaunts. These games are solid nothing spectacular but solid fun nonetheless. I've been wanting to get #racedierun, koloro, and wrecking ball so I'm so glad I'll get to grab them for free. I'll probably delete the ones I don't want.

Funny how i've never really intended to buy any QubicGames titles before, but somehow managed to accrue about 8 of them over time. Some of them are suprisingly decent games, especially for the price. I wouldn't mind grabbing Blazing Beaks for free, which looks to me like a "not as good" Enter the Gungeon but with 4- player co op. Sounds pretty alright.

Its a great deal! We initially didnt realise that we had already downloaded a free Qubic Game (colouring book) so were able to start downloading all the rest as released.

Looks like the Switch will be the only present not wrapped until Christmas Eve so we can download all the free games each day they are released beforehand.

@C-Chakra Some of the games is actually good, and most seem to be polished too and supports touch screen etc. too.

I couldn’t get the game yesterday for some reason it wasn’t free
Help?

This is lame I missed the chain cause I was thinking this would change in american/eu times.

@Tantani Buy Geki Yaba at 90% off to resume the freebies.

Today's free game is Puzzle Book.

@TechaNinja There is still 24 hours in a day.

New free Game 00:00 GMT+1 every day.

@Bravia You don't get Gold points for free games. Gold points is calculated vs what you pay.
When you pay 0$, you get 0% Gold points.

This is not 3DS or Wii U Shop which gave max gold points even for games on sale.
Switch have a different eshop with less benefits on Gold points.

@Ventilator I only find the anniversary edition, is this the one? Cause it is only 66% and not 90%
And if I go the game page I will see it is for free?

@Tantani It's actually 66% off, but still only ~1$/Euro.
It's this one.
https://www.nintendo.co.uk/Games/Nintendo-Switch-download-software/Geki-Yaba-Runner-Anniversary-Edition-1570031.html

Edit: Some say below that you already had to own Geki before, bu i don't know. Some says you need to purchase missing to resume. I don't know for sure as i got 100% so far.

It's not much of a gamble to check since Geki is very cheap.

@Tantani you must have the game before to become the daily game for free.

@setezerocinco I know, but when I do, and go to it’s page on the eshop, it will be shown as free?

@Tantani Just try. It's only ~1$.

Some say freebies resume if you missed yesterdays game, and purchase it.

Look at it as a lottery where you most likely win.

@Ventilator I tried, I don’t see it as free....
Do you guys just saw the game as free?

@keepsmilyn You can also download them from a browser by signing into the Nintendo account linked to the console and they'll automatically download , provided the console has already been connected to the internet. That way you can have them wrapped under the tree.

@Tantani If you were to buy Geki Runner for its sale price, you will then be able to get the rest of the games for free.

The games need to be downloaded each day in order, if you miss one you miss the rest, unless you buy the one you missed to start the chain again.

@OorWullie I have the 2 first games (I bought the second today, but I don’t see the 3rd as free game....

This game should show 100% off. Todays game.
https://www.nintendo.co.uk/Games/Nintendo-Switch-download-software/Puzzle-Book-1658084.html

@Tantani Did you open the link to the game's page? I don't think it appears as free until you open the actual page. I've been downloading them from a browser..

@OorWullie yes....
It is just stay the same price

@Tantani yes, it should show up as free, but only for today's game Puzzel Book and only if you already have the game from the day before.

@Tantani Are you sure you own Robonauts and Coloring Book too?

@Ventilator you must have all the previous games? This I did not know...

@setezerocinco Yes.
https://www.nintendo.co.uk/Games/Nintendo-Switch-download-software/Robonauts-1276242.html

"Coloring Book" seem to still be 100% off.
https://www.nintendo.co.uk/Games/Nintendo-Switch-download-software/Coloring-Book-1470537.html

I thought you had these since you said you only missed one day.

Puzzle Book is bad. Max 60 piece puzzles, but when you do a 60 piece puzzle it only lets you choose from about 8 pieces at a time. Insta-delete.

@Ventilator this is a ftp game, not the game that is free for today

@ryancraddock I appreciate that the article is being updated with each available game. I've got too much going on during the holidays, and would never remember to stop and download a game I don't really want just so I can keep the chain going.

Realized earlier today that I forgot to download yesterday's game. Oh well... Less clutter on my Switch.

I have all those games and yet puzzle book shows full price still

@Tantani You are right, but i know Puzzle Book is todays free game.

Puzzle Book was free for me and I was able to purchase it via the online store. I already had Robonauts and Geki Yaba Runner.

Well, Puzzle Book is the least fun. Lovely music, though.

Qubic: Want good games? Well you gotta download our crappy shovelware first. They don't sell, and we want them to show up on best selling for those shmucks to buy them, thinking that best selling means good.

This might sound silly or obvious but if you accidentally forget to get a game one day, you can pay for it on the Eshop for a reduced price and then get the next game in line assuming there aren’t multiple games you’ve missed out on and continue the streak from there. I don’t know if you can skip the first game, robonauts and then go on to the 3rd from the 2nd but I’d assume you need both 1st and 2nd and so on

I really hope the mystery game is blazing beaks!! That game actually looks good aside from 90% of the other ones.

@chiptoon Why not? Maybe those who agree with you can answer as well.

@Bermanator
We’re going to have to tell Switch owners not to look at the best-selling list for a good several months.

Well, One Strike is available now. Completed "The Only Life" mode once. Looks like there may be one unlockable character but it seems kinda boring so probably won't playm. Robonauts is the only one that was fun for a while so far.

So far, “Gnome Gabba Gabba” turned out to be the first runner I’ve ever enjoyed.

@Bermanator not just that you can see people ... egging people on(?) to buy games they missed to continue the chain in this comment section.

Crap... One strike is not available in NZ!!

I forgot yesterdays game so had to pay 89p to grab it and continue with the freebie journey LOL

I initially had trouble locating today's game (One Strike), but after some searching, I found it here:

https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/one-strike-switch/

Gotta keep the chain going so I can get that "Mystery Game"!

@ttyler1999 I couldn't find it either. Thank you for posting the link

@geo-shifter Wait how do you get notifications. I don't see when i add stuff to my wishlist I just manually check it often

@TechaNinja What typically happens is Nintendo will send me an email letting me know that a wishlist item is on sale, like how Steam does it. I haven’t paid attention to the time stamps for when these have happened, and haven gotten one for any Qubic games... mainly because I already had Geki Yaba and One Strike, and I got puzzle book first thing the morning of its free download.

@mist I use phone calendar to remind me every day.

Free game is up 00:00 GMT+1 every day.

@geo-shifter I don't get jack

@TechaNinja I typically get emails between 1:30 pm and 2:30 pm my time regarding discounts. Might be in settings on your Nintendo account online. I’m not sure.

I got everything enabled. Infact I think australia branch in general is slack with emails, hardly ever send much.

My JP account email gets constant updates from Nintendo.

@mist I done the same, just bought Puzzle Book. The thing is, I didn't totally forget as I downloaded it to my nephew's Switch from my phone. Just forgot to get it for myself.

On the UK Eshop charts, 5 of the Top 10 are these free games. Clever marketing from Qubic.

Not really interested in any of the games, but this is a nice opportunity for people to try them.

Tried all of the games so far and deleted each one after 10 minutes. So far a waste of time and maximum phone game quality. Much better games on the switch and in my backlog (sure, not for free!)

@Hunt3r_Cr0wl3y "I have all those games and yet puzzle book shows full price still"

I see you didn't get any helpful replies, well this reply isn't helpful either, just that this "train" idea of theirs could use some tweaking.

Though in my case it's my fault b/c I didn't get Puzzle Book bc/ I already had "Coloring Book" which is mentioned in the artcile, so I didn't bother b/c I'm an idiot and confused the two.

So now I don't know if it's worth 99 gold coins for Puzzle Book in the hope I get the rest starting w/ One Strike today. People keep SAYING you can catch up but I haven't seen any comments where someone DID actually fall behind and then catch up.

Oh well, what's 99 gold coins, kind useless anyway. But if 1 Strike doens't show up free after that I'm done.

So I bought Puzzle Book for 99 gold coins - at least it saved me 8 cents in tax:

https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/puzzle-book-switch/

Now on to One Strike. Well wadayaknow, it worked, free for me.

https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/one-strike-switch/

Oops, um, well, sorry to drag you along for all of that play-by-play, I forgot I was writing a reply.

Keeping this here w/ the links for the next few days since I can't find a way to add games to my Wishlist from the website.

5 Wreckin' Ball Adventure 19th Dec

https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/wreckin-ball-adventure-switch/

6 Koloro 20th Dec (Actually looks good)

https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/koloro-switch/

7 #RaceDieRun 21st Dec

https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/racedierun-switch/

8 REKT 22nd Dec

https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/rekt-high-octane-stunts-switch/

9 Mana Spark 23rd Dec

https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/mana-spark-switch/

10 Mystery Game - TBA 24th Dec prolly Blazing Beaks

https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/blazing-beaks-switch/

Tried out some One Strike today. I really appreciate its whole "Divekick X Samurai Shodown" kinda vide. Really don't like the unambitious presentation and I think Divekick does a better job at the condensed fighting game idea, but still, not bad for free.

I'd still like to see Divekick and Nidhogg 1 on the eShop one day.

so far i've had 2 buy 2 that i've missed -_- not sure why, i think i just want the final game

@mazzel Rekt and Mana Spark are the better games out of the lot unless the mystery one is a good one

Ive really enjoyed the games so far, the endless runner is surprisingly addictive and I like goryness of One Strike,

I have all the games and yet I can't get the new one for free.

The final Game might be Warlock 2. Just my guess.

Anyways. Got 100% games so far.

Oh yeah, keep that chain going! Bring on the "Mystery Game"!

Got my Wrecking Ball.

My link worked (US) in post #171 if anyone is feeling lazy.

I'm impressed Nintendo lets us get stuff on the web and it downloads to the Switch. I really need a bigger SD card but I don't feel like moving everything over.

I wish I liked these games more.

It’s not working, I have all the games, yesterday’s game was full price, today it’s on sale and so is today’s game

I can't download it for free. Yet I have Robonauts and Geki Yaba Runner. Maybe it's because I got them both for free in a previous giveaway? Does anybody else have this problem?

I can't get Wreckin' Ball for free, too.

I bought Puzzle Book with another account on the same Switch a few weeks ago. Therefore I couldn't download Puzzle Book with my main account when it was free. I even can't download or buy it again - it is shown as "purchased".

One Strike wasn't available for free to me. I realized that I had purchased Puzzle Book with another account so I bought One Strike for 4,99€ and hoped today's game Wreckin' Ball Adventure would be available for free again.

But that's not the case. I can't purchase Puzzle Book with my main account nor can I get Wreckin' Ball for free today.

That's not fair. I bought two games of them and didn't do anything wrong but still can't get the other games for free. People who paid nothing at all get everything for free.

And their Twitter account does not answer at all.

I also can't get the game free even though I have Puzzle Book and Coloring book with my account.

@Tisteg80 @chtan69 @Moroboshi876 In order to get today's free game (Koloro) you need to have all the previous games bought on your account, not just the previous day's game.

I wonder what the mystery game will be on the 24th

@chardir I figured that out, my bad. Well, it's not like I really wanted any of these games, actually. Thanks anyway.

If you were to name 3 which are the best of these games offered?

@Moroboshi876 Yeah, it's a chain reaction so you have to have kept alert that ea day after the 15th(last day for Robonauts) is a new free game til Christmas Eve. :x Did you just miss a game?

I'm not sure if someone answered above whether or not you need to keep em all downloaded on your system or if you can get rid of em after you 'buy em'(get free) so they're simply in your possession.

@brunojenso @Hissscratch139 Rekt is super fun, Robonauts is pretty great too. Honestly, the other ones that I've played so far are trash. One Strike and that Gnome runner game are especially terrible.

@Mykillvee Thank you - that's very helpful

Got Koloro while using my tablet, Nintendo has really improved this Gen.

Haven't tried the game yet but it looks like it could potentially be fun.
Wrecking Ball last night wasn't too bad either but I can't deal with wonky controls like that where it's kinda hit or miss. Good thing I never tried that game with the snake, or Octodad.

Next 2 aren't me at all, maybe my kids will play Mana Spark, but I gotta keep going for that mystery game. Blazing Beaks seems to be the consensus, could be fun for a bit w/ the family.

Company offers free games. Bunch of Gilbert’s inform the waiting world of their dissatisfaction of the quality of the games and announce they will NOT be downloading the games. Thanks. We can always count on you to guide us through.

The game of the day doesn't show as free for me. I already owned robonauts before the event started. Disappointing.

@alienbob64 you need to have all previous days games to take next game every day

@alienbob64 You have to own all the games before each one to get the next. So to get today's game #6, you need to own #1-5. Not just Robonauts.

@RainbowGazelle has to be two separate words. Typing in qubic games shows the games

I missed One Strike and Wreckin Ball but I purchased them using my gold points; so now I'm back on track.

@Lalivero You don't need to download any of them, just "buy" them for free so they're in your library.

Why is this so confusing to so many? LOL

Qubicgames i now a publisher I know. Looking forward to Mana Spark and whatever the mystery game will be. Most of these games aren't worth time, but it's fun to get free stuff. Would have been great to make these all free on Christmas Day and the day after to fill up the libraries of new Switch owners.

@bLiNdSiDe82 Some of the games is actually fun, and all of them is polished.

Anyways. Got 100% so far.

Same here. Enjoy them!

@patphenom REKT is the main game I'm following this thing for. It's eating up my memory card.

Thanks for these updates - appreciate the reminder. Downloaded the race one and finally got round to trying a game - the jigsaw one - which was quite good.

So far, I liked Koloro the most. After the intital 20 stages or so it really opens up and gets much better.

My fiancé downloaded Koloro a few months ago using her account but on my Switch. Since it's listed as "Purchased" under my account I figured I was in the clear. Turns out I'm not and #RaceDieRun isn't being listed as free for me today. Just emailed Qubic to see if they can help.

I'm calling it,
The December 24th game will be
"Barbarous: Tavern of Emyr"
I'm sure some of the artwork is used on the promotion and its official release day is the 25th of December 2019 so that is why I think it will be the mystery game.
I may be wrong but what's more special than a previously unreleased game as the final one. If so that is a wonderful gift from cubic games and get some great promotion of their newest title.

These are pretty good little time wasters

@Raptor78 I vote for Warlock 2.

@mist I wonder the the same. It's straight forward daily freebie, and there is no way to misunderstand this. lol

The train keeps rolling along. Two to go.

@rjejr I think you might be right in saying the mystery game will be Blazing Beaks. It's either that or Warlocks 2.

I haven't checked the US Eshop but on the UK charts, Qubic have 7 of their free games in the top 10, with another 2 just outside it. On Xmas day, all those new Switch owners will be checking out the Eshop, thinking Qubic Games must be very popular, then go on to buy a few of their games. Very clever move from the publisher.

@Raptor78 You're right... The game artwork is in the main giveaway "poster" art. Hope your theory is right cos I already own Blazing Beaks which most people have guessed at.

WHY DID NO GAMING NEWS COMPANIES TALK ABOUT THIS! SERIOISLY! WHAT GOOD IS IT TO KNOW ABOUT THIS NOW!

Played rekt for about 5 minutes. Haven't really touched anything since one strike but im excited to check out mana spark.

GITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT (w)REKT

I was soooooo excited to try REKT given that it’s the closest thing to San Francisco Rush that I can get right now but I was so disappointed that I am unable to control the acceleration. I don’t like that the car just “goes” and you just steer it. Now, true, the game is fun and as fun as those make it out to be, but I’m still left wishing for San Francisco Rush and needing to scratch that itch. Still, it’s hard to complain about a free game and so I’m going to get my fun out of it regardless.

Puzzle Book is really not bad at all for what it is.

@OorWullie Yeah, turned out I was wrong about Blazing Beaks, which I'm happy about b/c I was going to buy Space Pioneers for $5 to play w/ my kids and now we get it for free. Well free plus the 99 gold coins I spent on 1 of their games a couple of days ago b/c I missed one. Might even get my wife to play it w/ us over the break.

Un Mas.

That's the tweet.

@OorWullie
I was thinking it was Blazing Beaks or Warlocks 2 as well. I think I would’ve been content with it being Warlocks 2. But I guess we’ll just have to see how Space Pioneers is.

#RaceDieRun is good.

I missed the boat for this day-to-day chain-system of free games. I totally don't want to buy the previous 6-8 games just to get then next games, I likely don't want, for free. So, I paid the sale price $1.99 for #RaceDieRun.

REKT seems pretty addictive but it's locked up completely on me 3 times already (frozen when the timer hits zero).

I purchased several of these games, but not one ever came up as free for me. What a con, total misleading advertising. Never buying a Qubic title ever again.

Got all 10 - now just need to find time to try them!

@Guru_Larry yeah, I got all 10 games for free, so you’re probably misunderstood the process.

Mana Spark is actually quite good, worth sinking two hours of gameplay into it.

I missed yesterday’s oh well I got 8 free games and to be honest not really interested in the last one but I did really want mana spark . I will wait till it gets discounted again

Hard to complain about getting 10 free games, although I feel like Mana Spark should have been the final 'secret' game, ended with a bit of a damp squib.

@BenAV heh, cool, only getting notified for it today, that’s pretty dope

This is just absolute bull, I probably would’ve loved this and it would’ve made my holidays feel alot more exiting then it currently is. I follow soo many gaming sites and not one really covered it, or I didn’t even get a notification for it for some ungodly reason. It’s like a employee saying
“hey they’re handing out giftcards ”
“Really? When? now?”
“Nope! Yesterday! ”
“oh ok”
Like the point of this is obviously some kinda marketing thing (although it ain’t doing so good, I don’t see a reason to buy a game that was once free) but I’m sure the message is like “oh yeah man, we’re just giving, it’s the holidays, making people feel good ya know?” Well I dont good, this whole thing just makes me feel left out and horrible in general. Of course this is just petty talk but I’m having a terrible Christmas and all this do was break a already very shattered bottle.

@Tang000 looks like you follow the wrong gaming sites. Lol.
This one has been covering it really well. If it wasn't for this site I would have forgotten to get the all the games.

@Guru_Larry looks like someone misunderstood something.

@BarefootBowser glad to hear of your fortunes

On the day before Christmas
Qubic Games gave to me
A Space Pioneer on my Switch

Worked out OK for me, this is the 1 game of theirs I wanted to buy after having bought Robonauts cheap long ago.

Nintendo seriously needs to get on the ball with Switch folders, having 10 of these games all over the place is ridiculous. 😜

Happy Boxing Day everyone. Or is it Merry?

Even without a home internet connection I managed to get them all. Huzzah! Was it worth it? I mean, my policy is never say no to a free video game. I've enjoyed even the worst games by getting them in a giveaway like this. And it wasn't like it took a lot of time out of my day. I've enjoyed them so far.

@rjejr Totally agree with having folders.

So, I just missed Robonauts. Is it over for me?

I got them all. Haven't played any of them yet, but will play through them when I have some time. And if I like any of them, I'll buy a game from them in the future to show support. Really great idea.

I picked up all 10 games for free. Thanks QubicGames. I haven't played any of them yet, as I'm already in the middle of other games that I'm trying to beat first. But I'll get around to trying all 10 soon enough.

@rjejr I'm less concerned about having Folders than I am about splitting up the Digital and Retail games from one another. I currently have 61 Retail Games, and 112 Digital games (including 10 new ones thanks to QubicGames), that are all mixed together. So I'd rather have the Retail Games, that require the Cartridge to be played, to be separated from the Digital Games that don't require a Cartridge to be played. Like, have 2 rows of games on the homepage. One for retail games, and one for digital games. That's the only real organization change I'd really need. If we had Folders, I would split them up that way, Retail and Digital, and then my Homepage would look boring, with 2 folders. But having 2 rows of games in a redesigned homepage, to separate retail from digital games, is all I'd like to see change. Especially since I have so many, and about 2/3rds or digital and 1/3rd is retail.

Thanks qubic, I received all 10 games! Merry Christmas to you guys and it's great you guys did this. I've only played a couple but i plan to eventually play them all.

Please stop replying to me, all this does is remind just how horrible Christmas is

I still hate this publicity.

Oh Well, I missed out.

@Lawnachaun So how do you feel about 11 month old replies? 🤣

Anyway, still no folders and still no rows on Switch. 3DS had both rows and folders. Nintendo sucks at OS stuff. Yeah, I said it. 😛

@rjejr I'm fine with the OS how it is. Folders don't really mean anything to me. I used like 2 on the 3DS. One for the demos, and I forget what the other was for. But otherwise, I didn't use folders on the 3DS. I just organized it the same way I organized things on the Wii U. I now have more games than I did previously, on the Switch. Currently, I'm at 75 Retail games, and 227 Digital games. Luckily I have a 1TB MicroSD Card, so, plenty of space for everything.

Honestly, I'd be ok if they just did what they did on the Wii U and 3DS, where there was a cartridge slot for the physical game, and then all of the digital games being shown how they are, with the ability to move the digital games around to organize them how you want it. Like, keep the Switch menu the way it is, but have a "cartridge slot" first in line, with whatever game was in your console, and then have the top ten most recently played games on the main screen, but then, when you go to the game list screen, the "All Software" screen, keep the default organizing sort filters (Last Played, Total Play Time, Title, Publisher), but add a 'Manual" option, where you can move and slide titles around how you want, so I can put the games I play the most up top for quicker access, and the games I play the least at the bottom.. or, maybe group similar type games or whatever. Just be able to manually move the games around to where I see fit, and then the stay there. And if I put anything in the top 10 or 12 spots, it changes what's on the main screen. That's really the only changes that would be needed. Folders are unnecessary. I'm not against having folders, I just wouldn't use them, personally. I couldn't care less about them, honestly.

I would also like to see a "Update All" button somewhere, so I can check for updates for all of the games at the same time, instead of having to Press + on each and every game and manually check for updates. I have Auto-Updates on, and I do see games update themselves, from time to time. But every 2 months, I manually check for updates, up and down all 300+ games, and there's usually, on average, between 20 and 30 games that had updates that didn't update automatically.

But yeah, that's all I would like to see happen. Just make it more like the 3DS/Wii U style (in the Switch's current format), where it removes the physical games from the list (tho they will still have the save data there in the save settings), and then add the ability to manually move the digital games around at will, to reorganize what games are where (besides just the default sorting filters).

Adding Folders seems unnecessary, and I wouldn't use them anyways. Well, except to put Demos in, which I don't keep anyways, nor do I count them when counting which games I have. As for Rows, I originally wanted a 2nd Row to have one for Physical games that require the cartridge, and a 2nd row for the Digital games, so you can have that better organized. But after thinking about it more, that would be unnecessary too. Just have a single "cartridge slot" like the 3DS/Wii U, and then add the ability to move the digital games/apps around, to manually reorganize the games/apps list, and that's all that's really needed. Everything else if perfectly fine how it is.
