@Heavyarms55 They had previously announced they will update the game for 1 year and there will be Splatfests for 2 years. I think the 1 year just meant free updates but now they will be doing paid DLC the next year.
@Nomad Really? I only got a couple of random ones. I have every normal character badge and shiny one, besides Mechanica as I said in my previous comment. I took a picture of the badges in the link below to show you.
@Nomad You can get the badges for the other character. The way to get them is in Party Crash play past level 10 and up to level 30 then you will not only get the character badges for the people you played as, but also other people. I have all the characters besides Mechanica because I will need to wait until next Party Crash to get it. I have always played to level 30 in every Party Crash, so I don't know if you can get them if you didn't.
@Paperboy Definitely. Every user review is the first review on their account, besides 2 people. And those 2 people happen to have 9.9 or 9.4 average rating. Considering every review is good, something is up.
I own Lego City Undercover on my Switch already and have Lego Worlds on my PS4 and Lego Ninjago doesn't look good so I won't get this even if it's real.
@NintenNinja16 Yoshi is confirmed for this year, says right on their site. Plus you forgot to mention Mario Tennis Aces in the games coming this year. Also, project OCTOPATH TRAVELER (published by Nintendo) has been well received in the demo and trailers, and that's coming this year too. Other things Nintendo is doing is DLC for Xenoblade and the update to Odyssey. There's also some big third party games coming, such as Dark Souls, Street Fighter, Scribblenauts, Payday, Meat Boy Forever, and Shovel Knight King of Cards. Not bad so far, remember we are only in the second month of the year. Big things can still be announced this year, especially at E3.
@EmirParkreiner You saved me. I thought for sure this was split-screen, so I pre-ordered it at Best Buy. Until I saw your comment I didn't even think twice about it, being a multiplayer focused game. Looked it up and sure enough, Payday 2 is not split-screen on any device. I now cancelled my pre-order and am not buying this. Thank you for that warning!
@Crono1973 A few. I have MK8DX even though I already owned MK8. I also rebought Minecraft for the Switch even though I had on Wii U. Plus Lego City Undercover I have on both systems. And maybe BOTW can be included in the list considering it's on WIi U. Shovel Knight is on Wii U but only bought it on the Switch, the same is with Resident Evil Revelations. So in total 6 games I have on the Switch you can play on the Wii U, not counting updated content, and 4 of the games I bought again for the Switch.
Surprised it doesn't include the original too. Anyway I already picked this up on the eShop around when it came out so I'll be passing on this. I have heard people on their twitter saying they will only buy if it is released physical though, so it's good.
I got my Wii U October 2013 and it was my only console (besides a PC and other handhelds) up until I got the Switch. In total I bought exactly 50 games for the system, including downloads and retail games. For the Switch I currently have 38 games between cartridges and downloads. Yes I do have lots more money now to spend on games but still it shows there's a big difference. And there's more games on the Switch I want and will buy soon too.
Considering I own Amnesia and the DLC on Steam and PS4 I would pass on the Switch version. Would be great for it to come to the system though because it is seriously one of the scariest games I've ever played.
The Room on the other hand I have never played but heard great things about so I would definitely pick it up on the Switch.
That's crazy how he took the time to figure that out, I couldn't even begin to imagine doing that. So congrats to him. However it is completely different from the skills the other record holders have doing it the other way so I'd separate this from them and personally I would prefer to watch people do it the other way because to me it's more entertaining.
Been playing ARMS trying to do the grand prixs and get the badges. Also working on Odyssey, already have 900 something moons because all I have left is some Dark Side moons and then I'll have to grind for coins to get the rest.
Way too early to be hating on the movie when all we know is Illumiantion is involved. Yes there's an example of how they milked minions and so on but still, they have made good movies in the past. Also Nintendo is involved and, as others have noted, they cared so much about Bowser in Wreck-it-Ralph that it won't be completely up to them how everything happens. Miyamoto is working on it along with others so this is honestly stupid. Isn't this how we would react if we heard rabbids are going to be in a Mario game? I know most people would. And look how that turned out, a 9/10 highly praised game.
@Paraka Seems like it. Every comment he posts is a troll post and is straight up bashing Nintendo for everything they do. Take a look for your self https://www.nintendolife.com/users/therealgamer/comments. I'm completely fine with criticism of Nintendo, they definitely deserve some, but the level this guy takes it to is just terrible. Also the only thing he says is "The Switch has no games" over and over...
I really enjoy these, and I don't really listen to podcasts. I just chilled out for a few hours and listened to both pods while playing Splatoon 2. Can't wait for more of these. As for the hate of Krysta I would partially agree. Never been a fan of her but I think one of the reasons is because of the writing of Nintendo Minute itself. Still enjoyed this fine though!
Don't really think I'm much of a fan of these games. Saving up right now for all the games coming in Spring including the Labo but I might grab this sometime.
Nothing for me this week. Nothing really for me at all until Payday 2, Scribblenauts, and the Kirby Switch game.
Also this article mentions MyNintendo Kirby theme and calendar but I looked and didn't see any. My only guess is it's only in UK/EU and mistakenly put in this article?
@XenoShaun Yeah but that was a translated tweet. This is just an official confirmation so everyone knows it wasn't just mistranslated (which some thought it was).
I played it on the PS4 (cross-buy with Vita) because it was free with PS Plus. It's actually a lot better of a game than I expected. The creator joining Nintendo can't be a bad thing.
Games I'm buying this year (for Switch)
-Payday 2 (Have on steam, buying again
-Kirby Star Allies
-Nintendo Labo (Both kits, but passing on extra stickers and stuff)
-Donkey Kong: Tropical Freeze
-Dark Souls: Remastered
-Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition
-Mario Tennis Aces
-Yoshi
Games I'm getting but aren't listed in the article
-Scribblenauts: Showdown
-Super Meat Boy Forever
Well now I'm sold. I am going to buy both kits but before I was worried if something broke I couldn't replace it without spending tons of money. Now I'll just buy both and rest easy.
@QwertyQwerty I think an article like this can be made in a day. You can see what everyone expected by what everyone said when they said there would be an announcement. Also based on what has always been expected in every direct. So I don't think it says a lot at all.
I don't care about Hulu at all. However I would like Youtube so I could use it on the TV to show my friends some videos. I wouldn't mind it just being in the browser, I would just like it. Looks like we will all just have to huddle around my laptop screen.
When is that one ShaqFu A Legend Reborn game coming out? Got NBA Playgrounds when it came out and because of the issues they promised ShaqFu for free. The game still isn't out and it said it was coming in 2017 so I hope it'll still come...
Saw this because I'm in the subreddit and it's really amazing that this is possible. Could've just kept it or sold it for money but the person didn't which is great.
Kirby and Yoshi are good but don't expect anyone to buy a switch for that. Bayonetta is a good decision as people love that but that alone won't get 20 million. It is still doable if there is a Pokemon game. I don't like Pokemon but I know a heck of a lot of people do. A smash game could also have the same effect, and also games like Mario Maker as well.
My most played game on the Switch. 80 hours, unlocked all the ARMS (and plus arms), have 2 and a half pages of badges, completed level 7 grand prix (only will a couple of people, but working on finishing the rest), and I still continue to play it. It's one of my favorite games of all time. I just play it to death and it's still so fun.
This game always gets super high reviews but on the Wii U I just didn't like it at all. It's not my style I guess. I'll just stick with SteamWorld Dig.
