I wouldn't hold out hope. Remember what happened to F1 Race Stars? It was released as a digital download only and without the online multiplayer. I remember asking Codemasters when the Wii U was released if we'd see their DiRT or Race Driver series on the console and the reply was that they'll assess the situation or something like that. Now I know the Wii U was a failure but they didn't even bother releasing ports of their last games.
So in summary, they're a lazy developer and no, we won't see this anytime soon. Not that I'd want this game anyway.
They've priced this very sensibly and I wouldn't think twice about buying this if it was on the Switch eShop. Unfortunately, the Wii U ship has sailed and I personally will never be using it again.
That's a shame. This game looks pretty good. Of course, it all depends on how it plays. Fast RMX looks good but it doesn't play as well. The online is so incredibly laggy. I'll often cross the finish line first but actually end up second or third. I can't wait till MK8DX later this month so we can actually have a good racer on the switch.
Yet another spoiler from Nintendo Life. You've had the game longer than most people and you want something to post on the website, but it's wrong that you're ruining the game for people.
@brutalpanda I'm sorry that your Switch got scratched. I don't think the dock is great, but I do believe the issue is more isolated than people make it out to be - or I'm just lucky, I don't know. Zelda runs much better than you make out though, it's rarely under 20fps. The Korok Forest is where it's worst. 900p might not be impressive if you compare it to a PS4 but the fact that it's all done on something a fraction of the size, that's insane. Gram for gram, the Switch is the most powerful games console ever made.
I want this game but I know they're hiding something. Unless we see the file size updated on the eShop, then we can bet on there being a huge download for retail copies.
I'm gonna hold off on this one I think. I really want to play it but I just know the controls will frustrate me. Maybe when it's reduced someday. £9.99 seems an ideal price.
@Amsterdamsters Because it's nowhere near worth that much. Frozenbyte can't afford to make a new Trine game so they make this garbage and sell it at 400% what it's worth just to make a quick buck. No one should support this game.
@Xaessya That top image isn't promotional. I've never seen it before but after completing the game I now have a very good idea where to find that scene.
I won't be buying any more games for my 3DS and Wii U. I hope they bring the three games together to switch as I think this art style would look stunning on it.
@Equinox I understand that. It's not ideal but they are being offered a refund or a better version of the game for their money. People should know the risks with Kickstarter by now. I agree with you that the PS Vita release doesn't make sense though.

@BornInNorway81 Local is using one Switch console. LAN is using multiple Switch consoles.

Re: The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Looks Set for Late November Release
@Anguspuss Nothing wrong with ports as long as they're optimised. The more games the better.
Re: The Metroid: Samus Returns Legacy Edition Looks Fabulous
@timson72 at least you can count on GAME to package their items securely for delivery, which is more than I can say for the official Nintendo store.
Re: The Metroid: Samus Returns Legacy Edition Looks Fabulous
That's a nice set, but i don't use my 3DS anymore. All my gaming is now done on the Switch. The footage i saw at E3 wasn't too great anyway.
Re: The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Looks Set for Late November Release
The added motion controls and Nintendo skins more than makes up for the full price.
Re: Review: Oceanhorn: Monster of Uncharted Seas (Switch eShop)
The art style makes it an instant buy for me.
Re: Minecraft On Switch Will Also Get The Super Duper Graphics Pack
Looks great. The old graphics look awful in comparison. Looking forward to getting a physical copy sometime.
Re: Italian Discontinuation of the NES Mini Seals Its Fate
This is a good move ultimately. Nintendo know they must focus on making the Switch a success.
Re: Hey! Pikmin will Launch with New amiibo on 28th July
In all honesty it looks OK, but nothing special.
Re: Payday 2 Announced For Nintendo Switch
This was the highlight of the show for me. Nintendo is doing things right with the Switch.
Re: Minecraft: Nintendo Switch Edition Lands On 11th May
This will be the definitive console version of the game.
Re: These Neon Yellow Joy-Con Will Go Perfectly With ARMS
@Jhena If the yellow was any darker the Switch would look like a JCB.
Re: These Neon Yellow Joy-Con Will Go Perfectly With ARMS
I can't wait to have Joy-Con in my favourite colour!
Re: Snake Pass Slithers To The Top Of European Switch Download Charts
There's not much competition though.
Re: Headup Games is Bringing The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth+ to Europe as a Switch Retail Release
Not interested in this game.

Re: Video: NBA Jam Fans Might Like the Look of NBA Playgrounds, Coming to Nintendo Switch
What a pleasant surprise. Day one purchase from me. Should have a pretty cool story mode too.
Re: Switch Anti-Grav Racer Redout Could Be Making An Unscheduled Pitstop, According To Amazon

@Damo Maybe if the title of the article wasn't such a blatant spoiler.

@SPG Well I haven't.

Re: Poll: A Month of Nintendo Switch - Do You Think It's Heading for Success?
Yes, it will be successful. Unlike the Wii U, most people know what the Switch is. It won't reach Wii levels but it will pass 3DS.
Re: Review: Snake Pass (Switch eShop)
I'll get this on sale at some point. I'm looking forward to playing it.
Re: Jackbox Party Pack 3 Is Hitting The Nintendo Switch eShop On April 13th
That UK price is not good for my OCD.
Re: My Child Lebensborn Adds a Switch Stretch Goal
Day 1 buy for me. Looks great. Looks completely different to anything. Shame it's not an exclusive.
Re: Switch Timed Exclusive Graceful Explosion Machine Gets Solid Release Date
Graphically appealing. Gameplay wise I'm not sure.

Re: Kickstarter Title Anew: The Distant Light Is Heading To Nintendo Switch
Looks stunning and that soundtrack is great. The title artwork looks somewhat cheap though.
Re: Nintendo Switch Hardware Sales Grow in Japan as Monster Hunter Stays at Number One
Switch taking over the world bit by bit. It deserves no less. Most impressive piece of gaming hardware ever made.
Re: Video: How Well Does Snake Pass Run on Nintendo Switch?
I'm gonna hold off on this one I think. I really want to play it but I just know the controls will frustrate me. Maybe when it's reduced someday. £9.99 seems an ideal price.
Re: Review: Waku Waku 7 (Switch eShop / Neo Geo)
I had no idea this was out in Europe. Not into fighters but the colourful style looks fun. If it was half the price i'd maybe go for it.
Re: Has-Been Heroes Now Arriving in Europe on 4th April
They can push it back even further for all I care.
Re: Nintendo Download: 23rd March (Europe)
@Amsterdamsters Because it's nowhere near worth that much. Frozenbyte can't afford to make a new Trine game so they make this garbage and sell it at 400% what it's worth just to make a quick buck. No one should support this game.
Re: FDG Entertainment Wants to Know if We'd Like Monster Boy on Cartridge for Nintendo Switch
Game looks average but yeah, why not. Cover art is nice though.
Edit: Not if it's going to cost £10 more.
Re: Nintendo Download: 23rd March (Europe)
£20 for Has-Been Heroes is a joke.
Re: New Sumo Digital Developer Diary Delves Into the Art of Snake Pass
Not sure how much value for money there is for the price. I think I'd rather get Lego City Undercover again.
Re: Editorial: After The Bold Brilliance Of Breath Of The Wild, Where Can Zelda Go Next?
@Xaessya That top image isn't promotional. I've never seen it before but after completing the game I now have a very good idea where to find that scene.
Re: ​Editorial: After The Bold Brilliance Of Breath Of The Wild, Where Can Zelda Go Next?
Spoiling the game one image at a time.
Re: ARMS Listed For June 23rd Release On Amazon Spain
At £50/€50 it's a good price. I thought Switch games had a RRP of £59.99 and I was happy with that.
Re: ARMS Listed For June 23rd Release On Amazon Spain
Well that's a long way away. Everybody will be up in ARMS about this.
Re: Video: This BYE-BYE BOXBOY! Overview Trailer Shows Off the Clever Puzzles and Cuteness
I won't be buying any more games for my 3DS and Wii U. I hope they bring the three games together to switch as I think this art style would look stunning on it.
Re: Ubisoft Wants Your Input On Future Nintendo Switch Software Support
I just want Steep.

Re: Bloodstained: Ritual Of The Night Coming To Switch, Wii U Version Deader Than Drac Himself
Makes sense. If I was a developer I'd find it pointless releasing on the Wii U. The Switch is the way forward.
Re: Vroom in the Night Sky Update Adds A Magical Driving School
Still better than anything RCMADIAX has made.
