TES Blades is not available in my eShop (EU), it's not even in there. Anyone in the EU could download it?
Wow, Ion Fury sure looks good, but does NOT include inverted aim, and is therefore unplayable for me and many others. Seems the developer just forgot to add that in the port controller settings. Unaccaptable.
Ion Fury...more like Ion-Furiating...30fps is a joke for a game based on a 25 year old game engine for crying out loud. Wish I'd have known before pre ordering. That'll teach me to wait for reviews I guess. Should have just gone with pc version instead.
I've already downloaded Island Saver, which has suprisingly good reviews. Not a world beater sure, but is fun enough to spend 8 hours with.
I will also download TES Blades and see if that tickles my fancy.
Which leaves me with some cash leftover for the Capcom sale. Uh oh
Preordered Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA Mega Mix for the bonus DLC so I'll give that a go whenever it becomes playable later. Also interested in Dungeon of the Endless but will wait for now.
Project Diva at long last!
Can't wait to play it.
@BenAV I got the Japanese LE, but I did pre-order the EU mega pack.
Why? for €59.99 is has the season pass songs in it, and getting the season pass from japanese store would mean I need to waste 48 euro on a japanese eshop card (I did not expect Sega making the western release that cheap)
So instead of doing that I got the eu one for 49 euro (rest was from my gold coins which would expire soon anyhow)
Now that I start about rhytm games, I wonder if we ever get another Taiko DLC...
@terry93 I wouldn't worry to much about downloading Blades when it is available. I suppose they could have improved it since I last played it on an iPad, but when I played it, it was very mediocre.
Downloaded Hatsune Miku earlier this week. The bundle that includes DLC since it's so much cheaper than buying everything individually.
Ion Fury for me
Lol Elder Scrolls Blades x3
Just tried Elderscrolls blades. It is like Dragon Quest swords, punch out or Rage of the gladiator with some minor town building (Think FF my life as King), sure glad it is free, because It doesn't seem as good as any of those games it is based on. Will give it a few days play tho.
Will get Shmup collection on Wii U and possibly try Devil may cry from the sale. I am still waiting for a decent discount on Dragons Dogma to give that another go (sub £10).
Edit: Shmup collection is not available on Wii U eshop yet. I forgot how easy to navigate the old eshop is compared to Switch.
Not sure why the Elder Scrolss mobile game is on here when Skyrim exists. I downloaded it for ***** and giggles...it was mostly *****. Maybe if you do not want to pay full price for Skyrim it might scratch an itch. But I will stick to playing Skyrim on the PS4 until I can get a great deal on the physical version.
Enjoying Ion Fury, got the PC one a while back but I've gone off keyboard and mouse now. I really cant see why people have problems with regular controls, I cant aim perfectly well with zero issues. I guess thats just this generation of gamers...
As for 30PS...meh, no issues, no lag, all playing well. Having fun.
Got bored rather quickly with Blades but I will give it a chance, see if it gets better. Highly doubtful though.
Ion Fury. Hell yeah!
@PortablexombieV2 yeah I have Skyrim Switch, combat is cack but it's an alright game. Elderscrolls blades is kind of a "if Bethesda had released a game for Wii" except a Wii version would have been better because you could do more varied swings. Might have been interesting on 3DS too with touch screen attacks. But yeah falls completely flat on Switch. Plays like a poor man's punch out.
Something from the ground up designed for Switch would have been more welcome.
No discount on DMC3...
Ion Fury runs abysmally on the switch. Stick to the PC version.
Hey, Bethesda, give us Fallout 3 and New Vegas instead of this mobile crap.
I picked up Oddworld. Never really played it so I thought might as well since the price isn't bad with it on sale.
Well I downloaded Elder Scrolls Blades just to see if it is any different from the Mobile phone version. Nintendo need to remove crap like this from the store, it is a disgrace. Within a couple of minutes the game is begging you to buy items from the store. I hope this game fails as it does not deserve to be on this great console.
