Oh look! Another quality indie game coming to Switch. Might want o revisit that absurd article you guys write before about Nintendo putting barriers to indie studios. And on that same note, might be a good time for Damo to apologies for attacking regular readers.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE Thank you for that

@brandonbwii Exactly

Wait, new characters will be free at first and then become paid DLC? I imagine if we get them in the free time, you don't have to pay later to keep them right?

"...until Nintendo itself figures out what it is doing with Virtual Console"

You would think a multibillion dollar company would have a plan and just haven't made it public yet, but not on Nintendo Life. Here, Nintendo haven't figured out what to do with Virtual Console.

I thought Nintendo was mistreating indies in this generation. How weird, this article almost makes it seem like we are getting a good collection of quality indie titles on Switch. I don't know what to believe anymore, this or your previous article.

@Damo I think it's cool that you feel proud of having this on the site. After all, this is your site and you and the rest of the team decide the route you want to take with it. I feel this is a very painfully written article that It's definitely not balanced enough. I like Thomas articles the most, that's why I feel I have the right to say this is not one of the best.

There's always a thin line when you give your opinion on something. Specially when you say something positive about anything. There's always people that will think that you don't like criticism and you want to only hear about the good news. That's why I understand your comment about going to Nintendo official site (comment that I found disrespectful and plain stupid). I have nothing against criticism. But when criticism becomes the norm and people looks for negative opinions and give them more importance than they has, ignoring the rest of the picture, just to justify an article, then there's something wrong.

Being a fan is not a thing of black or white. You can detect when a criticism is justified and when is not. And being able to point out when it's not justified does not make you a blind fanboy.

@dew12333 This is exactly my thoughts regarding this site lately. From the writers to the unbelievable amount of trolls and Nintendo haters on the comments I don't see how this can be considered a Nintendo fan site anymore.

@maceng Pretty assumptions... Let's see, kid. I read the article and you don't need to be a Nintendo employee to give them the benefit of a doubt. We don't know why Axiom Verge is having troubles to get in. We already have Shovel Knight, Isaac, GEM, Wonder Boy and plenty others coming up. So, it is not like Nintendo is blocking indies. A couple of salty devs opinions are not enough to make a case about this.

Everytime there's a curation system, people will get mad. But I prefer to have less but quality games than open the door and have all sort of crappy games on the platform, especially on launch window.

"we are talking about Nindies and Indies with highly regarded games"

Ok, but who? We know Atooi is working on Switch, Image & Forms, Nicalis, Yacht Club Games, Chuckle Fish, 13AM and many other.

Are we suppose to take opinions without a name, over all this others?

Very weird article @ThomasBW84 There's not enough information to make a proper case here. Especially since all the negative opinions are from "anonymous" sources. Nevertheless, it is clear by the quotes that this devs are frustrated for not been on the first batch of indies on Switch. Maybe their games weren't good enough or maybe weren't complete enough OR maybe they are derivative games similar to a certain IP that Nintendo is planing to resurrect? We won't know without Nintendo's opinion. And since they decided not to comment about it, why publish the article anyway? This was indeed a weird one. Too much sensationalism for an article of yours.

What a time to be a nintendo fan. Nintendo knew they had a winner with the Switch. Can't believe how some folks were complaining for all 2016 because Nintendo was quite and releasing fewer games. Can you see now they were putting all their effords on Switch? It wasn't that hard to figured out.

By the way, in 2 months SLIGY will say "Come back to me on holiday" and then "Come back to me next year" It will be easier to just face the reality, sell that old wii u and buy a Switch already.

Wow, this was unexpected. Been hearing a lot of good things about it. Didn't seem like the technical issues were that bad. I heard they are working on an update to address those problems. Will the review be updated aswell if that happen?

Holding on this one for the moment. I just got Isaac and Wonder Boy AND I'm still playing Zelda. But I'll definitely get MK8 in the coming weeks. Since I'm not one of the 5 people on the world who bought a Wii U, this will be a totally new experience for me and on the best console Nintendo has released in a while.

Unless thy intend to make the Clasic line a collector's thing. I can't wrap my head around the idea of a SNES mini when they just discontinued the NES mini after a couple of months. What's the point of this line?

Mario Kart 7 is my most played game on 3DS. It was the only game I kept coming back over and over. And since I skipped Wii U, I couldn't be more excited about Deluxe. Looking forward to all those characters from different franchises and here's hoping we get more at some point.

@JubilifeRival With users like this, it is not about viewpoint. They don't share their viewpoint, they just say whatever sounds negative at the moment.

@KirbyTheVampire Love how the next comment after yours does exactly that.

Nintendo seems to be holding this one for some reason. Maybe they know it has potencial.

@Marios-love-child Don't pay too much attention to that guy. Numbers for Switch are way better than Wii U. And the buzz around it is even more. You said it yourself, all of this was achieved in march. When the Switch is 12 months old, trolls like that guy will still say it is too early to be happy.

@GrailUK I just hitted that "ignore" buttom and he's not here anymore for me.

This is just fantastic xD. Funny how Nintendolife consider this "disturbing" but it's ok with killing and robbing in PayDay 2. I will never understand western moral standars.

I'm more interested in what surprise game they will announce. Although arms got my curiosity, I'm not that interested in it nor Splatoon.

Day 1 for me. I'm not that interested in Battle Mode but I've never played Mario Kart 8 before. So this is an obvious one for me. I'm going digital with this one and future releases. Since I always forget to bring 1-2 Switch cart with me everytime I take my Switch out. I realize I'll be better going digital only.

@EternalDragonX Business my friend

@roadrunner343 Thanks for that. I was needing a honest opinion like that. I figured I rather wait for the update and play Specter of Torment on 3DS. My sister is also interested on Isaac, so we might get it 50-50. $20 for the game sounds a lot better than $40

@SwitchVogel Thanks! My thoughts exactly. I've played Shovel Knight on 3DS, but I can imagine it looks exponentially better on the Switch screen.

Still not decided which should be my next game after Zelda. Blaster Master, Shovel Knight, GEM, Isaac or Wonder Boy (coming in 2 weeks).

Looks good, but I'll need to see more gameplay to make a decision. If the gameplay is like Fairune I'll probably pass.

Looking forward to this one since it was announced. Never played the original but I have good memories of Wonder Boy V. Can't wait to get this one on Switch.

It looks gorgeous, it sounds marvelous. But the repetitive gameplay worries me. I want to have a new original game on my Switch but as it stands now, I might be getting Isaac or Shovel Knight instead.

An article about one Nintendoom bannerman send in by one of our very own Nintendoom bannerman.

Can't believe I'm actually considering buying this game again. I played the original version on 3DS and it got me hooked for a while. Tried the + version on steam, but didn't do the trick because it wasn't portable. Here comes the Switch then, but $30 is a bit much.

Same thing with Isaac, I'll love to have it portable but $40 really?

Looks cool. I've enjoyed similar looking golf games on my phone. Doing multiplayer should be fun.

Only NEO GEO title I actually played as a kid, so this might be the one I get on Switch.

Sounds fun, Switch is ideal for party games. But I'm worry you need more than one Switch to play. That would be unfortunate.

Oh cool, we got an "ignore" buttom.

Bye Bye!
@SLIGEACH_EIRE
@Yasume

I'll hold off for now. I'm still not sure if I want Shovel Knight again or Blaster Master or Greatful Explotion Machine. Probably going to wait until GEM review to decide.

@PlywoodStick Irrelevant, since I'm talking about 1-2 Switch.

@PlywoodStick Well, I brought it on the west and I think Is fun. As well as the people I played with. So when you say "they" I guess you are referring to humans as a whole.

Happy to see 1-2 Switch back on the Top 3. The game is ridiculously fun.

Hope Nintendo approach the developers and come to an agreement. This looks like a good fit for the Switch, but apparently most developers are doing this wait and see thing.

Which is understandable but kind of stupid. Waiting for the system to be a hit in order to port their games, but how the system would succeed if it doesn't have games?

Graphical discussions are always profitable for the site when it comes to comments numbers.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE I can't tell which version is superior just by watching this footage. I can tell the PS4 version looks "sharper" but "superior" is not a term only related to graphics.

@Rudy_Manchego Nope. Team Meat is still a two man team. McMillen and Jonathan McEntee. Isaac is a personal project by McMillen, not related to Team Meat.

@NEStalgia As you say, this is the norm for all media. Sadly that is how rumors work. No matter if there is an update staying that the original news was wrong, people will only remember the original news and use it in their arguments as if it were true.

I was holding on Blaster Master Zero because Pocket Rumble was coming. But I might end up getting that one for now.

Team Meat has been working on Super Meat Boy Forever, like... well FOREVER! I love their first game but as of right now, that is the only game they have ever completed. So I won't put too much credits to that tweet.

I already put my 3DS in a box and in the closet after I got my Switch. Might be cool to see this shorts on 3D, but meh.

Finally received my Switch today and sadly I experienced this problem from the first play session :/

Happy to know there is an easy fix. I'm sure this won't be a problem with future units.

@neufel Go to Ireland, I've heard it is the only place on the planet where you can find one
