After seeing gameplay, pretty excited to try out NASB!
The Smurfs: Mission Vileaf
Blaze & the Monster Machines: Axle City Racers
Looking forward to Dungeon Encounters.
For me it's only one: Dread, Metroid Dread. I may play Fatal Frame someday (after a sale...), I may subscribe the upgrade pack, may buy the N64 controller and even import a Genesis 6 buttons controller, but the only game I really want to play right now is Metroid Dread
@NintendoGamer202444 It's one of my favourite Bible versions. 10/10 would recommend
I may get disco elysium due to the date ( I doubt it as I just splashed out on a new statue) but I will get it, monkey ball, metroid, mario party and fatal frame on Black Friday. Wanted tetris but it doesn’t work well with my eye.
Voice of cards depends on reviews. And NSO on price. Will get NickBrawl on deep discount. Will get GotG next rear when it is cheap. I’m still working on both spiderman games and avengers.
My top 5 exciting games coming to Switch:
1 Metroid Dread
2 Metroid Dread
3 Metroid Dread
4 Metroid Dread
5 Metroid Dread
Other games I'm looking forward to:
Metroid Prime 4.
Fatal Frame is a day one, along with the Nintendo 64 controller, since I expect it to be hard to find. Will grab Tetris Effect and Disco Elysium eventually. Probably waiting until Christmas to play Metroid Dread.
Really, really strong month, with an even better November coming up (SMT V! Pokémon!).
I was mildly interested in the nerf legends game I saw advertised on here
Isn't that November?
Strong month. Too strong for my budget.
I like many of those, but for now I will be getting either Metroid or Disco Elysium, depending on how long the first ends up being (looking for a +25 hours campaign to pay full price for it)
B- month at best.
Metroid Dread, Mario Party Superstars, and Nintendo 64 Expansion Pack has me Mostly Excited!!! Take my Money $$$
1. Metroid Dread
2. Mario Party Superstars
3. N64 Nintendo Switch Online
4. Sega Mega Drive Nintendo Switch Online
5. Nintendo Switch OLED Model
That intro was a masterpiece
Mario party (I have high hopes for this given I’ve heard great things about the older games) and the NSO expansion (assuming it’s not cost prohibitive).
Pretty decent month actually.
Tetris Effect = must
Fatal Frame = want
Mario Party = waiting for review
SMURFS! = actually looks like a lot of fun! love the smurfs.
Will probarbly get Metroid and Monkey ball. Will wait for Nintendo's generous 33% discount on Mario Party 😂. Wouldnt mind fatal frame but i would need to invest im more boxer shorts first and im sure the wife wouldnt appreciate the extra (soiled) washing 😂😂
Tetris Effect: Connected - I'll consider it if there's a physical release as I already have Tetris 99 and both Puyo Puyo Tetrises. I never thought I could own four physical Tetris games on a single console, and yet here we are. I might just skip it altogether though as it's gotten a bit ridiculous at this point.
Metroid Dread - Definitely, but I should really play the 3DS game first.
Project Zero: Maiden of Black Water - Physical pre-ordered from Play-Asia.
Mario Party Superstars - As this one is tailored more to handheld play, I hope this has touch-screen support too.
Dying Light - The idea of an open-world zombie game sounds great, and I'll consider the physical release. I'll skip the cloud-based sequel though.
@Thatsalie not even close, it is a complete A month. Releasing Metroid alone makes it an A
The Smurfs looks fun I loved the Smurfs game on the PS1 when I was a kid can't play it on an emulator though , fatal frame looks quite good for Halloween but no combat puts me off abit
I am personally getting about 5 games this month. Smurfs won't be one of them.
@Silly_G they should really port dead rising to the switch it should be able to run it no problem & being able to run around Willamette slicing up zombies on the go would be awesome
DDLC+ physical also releases on the 8th
Metroid Dread and Disco Elysium.
Dying light is a great game, you should give it a try.
The busiest month for me this year. I’m definitely getting Metroid Dread, Dying Light and Guardians. I’m also interested in Crysis trilogy😅
Metroid Dread: Day one
Switch OLED: Preorderd / Day one
Tetris Effect: wait for sale
Online expansion pack: wait for price / day one
N64 controller: undecided
Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water: Day one
Umm... Crysis 2 and 3!
That ever tried picture looks like silk song xxx
I'm all about Doki Doki Literature Club Plus (physical version), Dying Light: Platinum Edition, Fatal Frame: Maiden of the Black Water and eventually Metroid Dread at some point in the future (I own my Switch for third party games). I'll be getting the physical version of Fatal Frame from PlayAsia next month though. I also pre-ordered Dusk and Quake from Limited Run Games.
@RCGamer Don't forget DDLC Plus.. the macdaddy GOAT
@Ralizah You can get a physical version of Fatal Frame from PlayAsia and don't forget to get a physical copy of Doki Doki Literature Club Plus while you're at it 😀
@Silly_G Don't forget that the physical version of Doki Doki Literature Club Plus comes out Friday! I've had mine pre-ordered for 3 months for pickup at my local Best Buy. I can't wait!
@Kliklakerz My man! Finally.. someone mentions it besides me!
@Ninja84 Wondering when 2 and 3 will release. Probably December.
@Little_Squee Late 2021 is all I know.. Waiting as well!
@Gwynbleidd Well the first one is out right now on store shelves and the other two will release by the end of the year. Also waiting on Alan Wake Remastered to get announced for Switch.
@JustMonika, Crysis? They are releasing october 15th. But only digitally..
Is Disco Elysium Final Cut getting a physical release? Also somehow LEGO Marvel Superheroes launched on Switch today completely under the radar
@Ninja84 The physical version is in stores right now. All 3 games are getting physical releases. How do you not know this?

@JustMonika Actually Crytek's Youtube channel mentioned 15th of Oct as launch date. It's a shame that Nintendolife snubbed them.

@JustMonika. Please check your attitude at the door. I know the first game is released in stores. Your question was regarding the trilogy which releases on the 15th. Digitally. They will release physically on a later date, but since that is not known i didnt want to guess.
