Wow, haven't heard of this game until now. This will be a Day 1 buy for me, cool that its coming out soon as it looks to be a little slow for AAA games for Q1 so far. Looks to be a beautiful platformer.

I'll buy. Never played either before & if it's as good as most say, & I'm sure it is, I'll be looking forward to #3 later this year. Not many AAA games on the slate yet this year, may be playing this for awhile.

I'll be playing Resident Evil & Stardew Valley.

Looking forward to great releases this month like Bayonetta, Owlboy, & Dragon Quest Builders. Might pick up Steamworld Dig & Wonderboy too.

Geez, and I was down on it because of the 8 bit style. Well, if its a perfect score I should give it a try.

Owlboy will be my next eshop purchase. Celeste looks good but I've seen way too many 8 bit graphic games on the eshop, tired of that look.

Awesome! I know its early 2018, but with few big games announced by the pro's, I'll take more indie titles. Steamworld Dig 2, Stardew Valley, Rocket League, and many more were great in 2017. Hope to see the same quality this year.

A pretty disappointing mini direct & an announcement shortly after that there will be no netflix anytime soon. 2018 begins & Nintendo stumbles out of the gate. No reason to panic yet though. I hope Nintendo has another Direct soon & has some exciting announcements on AAA games & info on virtual counsel. That would be a better start to 2018.

Well, that was a Direct for the pooper. Kirby is probably only game I'll buy, plus Rabbids dlc. No surprises, or at least good ones. Oops wait, no mention of virtual counsel was suprising. Mario Tennis & Tropical Freeze will be $60 each won't they? Pass. I'd rather buy $120 worth of nindies on the eshop.

Not trying to be a downer, there will be great games released this year. Nintendo killed it in 2017. Just...a downer of a Direct.

I'm still playing Arms. Not sure why some are salty. Though this past week I've discovered Stardew Valley & have been playing that nonstop.

I selected SteamWorld Heist, but honestly, I haven't downloaded Stardew Valley yet...not sure which one to get.

I'm finally making progress in Mario vs. Rabbids, closer to completing Odyssey, and I always go back to Arms and have a good time. Maybe nothing this week. We'll see.

Merry Christmas! Great year for Nintendo. Here's to an even better 2018 🍺

This is the first I've heard of Steamworld Heist coming, and soon, woohoo! I'd like to see the original Steamworld Dig come to the Switch in 2018. A new game for sure but I doubt it'd be complete before 2019.

So Heist in a couple of weeks, I'll be downloading that day 1!

This game was never on my radar & when it was delayed it became a joke to me. But I've reconsidered. I've beaten (not completed) Odyssey and am now into Doom, Skyrim, and want to get Xenoblade 2. It will be nice to have a classic platformer done well to break up the more intense games. This looks to fit the bill. Graphics look great and it got a nice score here. I might get this.

I'll get it. My nephews & I will have a blast! $40 for a good Switch game is a pretty good deal.

I voted for BOTW of course, but had to give Arms a vote too. After a couple weeks I put it down but I picked it back up after downloading the two new characters & ability to get badges (helps accumulate $ faster). My nephews love this game and when we get together we always play it and have a blast. Not quite as good as Splatoon 2 but still a great Nintendo IP! Hope they come out with another great new IP in 2018.

I had a WiiU yet never got around to trying Bayonetta. Works out in the end though as I'll be getting both for the price of one. Can't wait!

I too would prefer a game card for both, but no worries. I got a 128 GB card so I'll be fine.

I am excited for the new Mega Man 11. The legacy collections I owned on 3DS before I sold the system, but would be willing to buy again if the price is right. I've never played the X versions of Mega Man. I've seen a lot of positive things said about the series and will be looking forward to those as well.

Though I'm excited for Mega Man 11, from what I've seen, I'm not sure its worth a full price of $59.99. If its around $40 I'm in, otherwise I'll have to think about it.

Haven't played any of the X games. Looking forward to it. Also the new one. 2018 is on the right track!

Wow!!! Looks great, I'm a fan of the art style. Staying somewhat true to the original while being updated.

Other than Metroid there's no other game I'm looking more forward to. Legacy collections will be nice too.

I'm into Arms again. I'm terrible at it, but its still fun.

After that its Skyrim & Doom.

@JaxonH That's what I ordered from Amazon, a 128G card for $29.99. Was just explaining that they sent me the wrong card, a 32G one instead. Will be sending it back Monday. I didn't know to check for the speed of the card before I ordered.

If the card is too slow does that mean it'll take a long time for the game to start up? Or that it'll have performance issues as you play the game?

@tanookisuit Now that I've opened the envelope I see they sent me the wrong card. The card they sent is 32GB and says speed up to 80mb/s 533x. I'll be sending this back.

So when you say speed, do you mean the speed it takes to initially run the game? Meaning the time it takes for the game to start? Or does this speed effect the game while you play?

I'd do Rayman for $20. Backlogged with games already but it'd be hard to pass on that deal.

I got a 128G card last week on Amazon for $29.99, though someone on this site told me the speed doesn't look too good.

I'm on the moon in Odyssey so beating that is #1. Would like to get into Doom & get past the first level. I'd also like to buy Skyrim & start that too. Later this winter I want to beat Mario & Rabbids and continue BOTW.

I'm in Bowser's Kingdom in Odyssey so I'll beat that soon & just barely started Doom. I'm thinking it'll be weird to play Doom & Skyrim at the same time but Xenoblade is out soon too. Weird to play all 3 at once? Maybe, but I'll do it anyway. I want to buy Skyrim to help boost sales so Bethesda is encouraged to bring new games to the Switch.

I'm sure it was tough for them, but yeah there are more complex games on Switch that run better.

When sequences of scenes "drop" it does take you out of the game. Game's art looks great though. I will keep this on my list and buy it when there's a patch and there aren't so many other games coming out at the same time.

Sad. Looks like it could have had a great launch on Switch. The fact that it's late, is out on other platforms for less money, and has performance issues will DOOM this release.

Looks like it could be great down the road. If BOTW is a little complex for you this could be decent. Puzzle solving & no fighting. Once it gets a patch, comes down in price, & I'm looking for a game I may give this a shot later on.

I'd like to get this game, sounds addicting. But I'm so backlogged with games I haven't finished. Will have to wait for a lull in releases...maybe next summer?

I bought Doom day 1 & it's been a blast. I have no Playstation, X Box, or Steam to compare it to but the graphics & frame rate work for me. The video here in this article is great. We can see that the PS4 version is better, but we all knew that already didn't we? Constructive criticisms, but still a good time on the Switch. If you're in my boat, buy it, you won't regret it. I mostly play it in docked mode, no issues for me yet.

Also remember, if we critique these games to death, to the point where some don't buy it due to overly negative critiques, these 3rd parties may not bring their new games to Switch if they don't think they'll sell well.

This game is a refreshing change of pace. One of the few adult games on Switch. One of the few first person shooters. Buy it. 😉

Hmm. I'm originally a city boy that has lived in the country for 7 years. Thought this would be right up my alley since I'm in farming country and loving it. But, I'm not a farmer. I was wondering if Stardew Valley would be a better fit for me and it sounds like it is from this review. Cheaper too.

I would agree that this is probably the most important game for the Switch so far. We knew BOTW and Odyssey would sell big for the system, the big question was always how much third party support Nintendo would get. I never expected so many in less than a year, bravo!

But its up to us to keep them coming and we do that by buying these games! Doom is an automatic buy for me. I'm also buying Skyrim and have already bought Mario & Rabbids. I'm on the fence on L.A. Noire, so I'll probably buy it to help keep these games coming.

Physical copy of Doom tomorrow! Maybe L.A. Noire down the road. I have no internet, so no Rocket League, otherwise I would.

Yeah I'll be picking this up tomorrow. It'll be great. Mario last week. Skyrim next week. It just keeps getting better for Switch owners.

Though not a financial supporter, I've been keeping track of this game. Actually glad its delayed. Gives developers time to make a good game and I'm swamped right now with games I want. Now there's more to look forward to in 2018!

Odyssey is great so far. I'm in the snow kingdom, trying to win the race. Over time I'll decide if it's the best. It's certainly in the running.

Looking back, I really appreciate SMB2. I tire of Bowser & company at times. I really like the change of pace the Toad King brought in #2 as well as other different characters (shy guys vs. Goombas) & the graphics & play were so unique & different from any other mario game. You could also play as mario, luigi, toad, or the princess. Every character had different talents. Wish they did something different again.

Think I'll try a physical copy of Farming Simulator. I live out in the middle of nowhere in the Midwest, farming country. So, has some appeal to me.

I'm pretty happy with the third party AAA games that are out and coming out. Hope there are many more in 2018 of course, but I think we got the best case scenario so far.

Really interested to see what Nintendo does. Yeah we got Kirby, Yoshi, and Metroid Prime 4 (prob 2019) announced, but interested in their IPO's. Also, what happens when all of their major franchises have a game out? All IPO's after?

I'm not really a completionist. I got around a 97% completion in Galaxy and was happy with that. Attempted to complete, but didn't find every single thing.

I'm in World 5. I initially thought BOTW would remain my favorite game because its so beautiful and more challenging to master Link's moves than Mario, making the game a little more complex to me. But I'm reconsidering, Odyssey is more fun to me. Love both though.

I used my old squid boy inkling amiibo and got a single coin. Yipee!!!

With so much else coming out around the same time I'll wait for the physical release.

Of course I'll be playing Odyssey. Just 1 more hour at work then I'm going to buy it & play. I don't want to get too sick of it too soon, so in between I'll be playing either SD2, Wulverblade, or Mario & Rabbids. I left M&R for a good 3 weeks now, miss it.

@Kalmaro Yeah was such a fun game for me back in the day, immaturity for immature me!

Love SimCity so if this is similar, and for the right price, then a definite maybe.

I doubt I'll be more impressed then Zelda BOTW but I'm open minded, so maybe. I'm buying it after work today and will be playing it for the first time tonight. Good to hear its so highly thought of already.

Odyssey physical copy. Nice list of games that all have the misfortune of releasing on the wrong week. Maybe we'll revisit them later.

Hmm, girlfriend is expecting a night out tomorrow. I'll have to buy Odyssey on the way to her place after work and play it portable for a few hours before getting home later at night. She'll be angry at my inattention but...its a plan where I get to play Odyssey tomorrow so no complaints.

Doesn't seem like too harsh of a punishment. He just loses the ability to access his account for 3 months, not like Nintendo can do much more than that. Though he didn't break the law, Nintendo doesn't have to put up with that. No spoilers!

Looks at least decent but with so much out now and so many games I have yet to finish, this will have to wait. I may revisit it next summer when there's a lull in releases.

Don't need one. Still enjoying my NES classic & Switch. With so many good games coming to Switch soon, last thing I need is a new system.

Will put off FE since I have too much to play as it is, and Odyssey is next week. Wow, so far Mummy Demastered has beat out FE, never heard of it, will have to check it out.
