I bought Limbo when it first released on the Xbox 360 and absolutely hated it. I found it to have subpar platforming and so so puzzles; that were glossed over by moody visuals. I forced myself to finish it but it's one of the few games that I regretted spending even $15 on. I'd rate it a 3/10 and that's being generous.

Another World/Out of this World is a better 'trial and error' game.

Maybe Jump Force?

I wish it was DOA 6 though.

I've watched every single game of the World Cup and its been fantastic. I can't wait for the final four games!

If theyre winning games then I don't care what celebration the England players do.

I think for the Wii U owners they should have given a discount on the Switch ports. It could have only worked for digital owners, but Id be more in inclined to double dip on some games if there was a 40 or 50% discount.

While the next few months are a bit lean, I think that the holidays are pretty stacked, with a focus on family/friends playing together (Mario Party, Pokemon Lets Go, Smash Ultimate). For a family man like me I'm likely to buy them all (even though im not interested in Mario Party I can see the kids bugging me to get it).

Next year will hopefully be more about 'just me', with Fire Emblem, Bayonetta 3 and Metroid Prime 4 being my most wanted games on any platform.

@Cobalt
But thats more than one game as its multiple versions. Ive owned about 7 versions myself.

@Jeronan
Of the 5 million sales, Smash for Wii U made over 4 million sales in the West and under 1 million in Japan.

@Jeronan
Smash Bros or fighting games in general are not niche products. Smash sold over 5 million on the Wii U alone and plenty of fighters on the Sony/Xbox platforms have sold a few million too (like Tekken, Mortal Kombat, Dragonball etc).

@Cobalt
Tekken is the highest selling franchise, but Smash Bros Brawl is the biggest selling single game at over 13 million, with Smash for 3DS second at over 9 million.

@WiltonRoots
Exactly, its not like those games will go moldy. I believe that a lot of people buy systems after there are a certain number of games available that interest them. So for example they wont buy a Switch just for Zelda, but they'll buy one for Zelda, Mario and Smash.

Everyone has different games that sell them a system, I don't even own Zelda, Mario Kart or Splatoon 2 on the Switch and they are supposed to be big system sellers.

@Dang69
It didnt get pulled, it just moved from the 'coming soon' to the 'featured' section.

I know that Nintendo had a rather lackluster E3 but it isnt exactly recent news so Im not sure why it would just worry investors now, especially with 2 huge releases set for the holidays (Pokemon and Smash). It feels like journalists are trying to be sensational about it.

My guess would be that the shortage of available components are worrying investors more, because if Nintendo cant build enough systems then they wont meet their targets for the year. Thats money.

But what do I know, maybe the journalists are right and its because there hasnt been a new Mario or Zelda announced every week.

@JasmineDragon
I told myself that I chanterelle ever forgive you, but the morel you say I guess I really oyster.

@JasmineDragon
Its crimini that you copied my pun!

Id rather be able to buy them separately for $10.

Now if Konami would release a Gradius collection like this Id happily throw $50 to $150 at it.

I would love the arcade version of Rastan on the Switch. It was one of my favorite games, partly due to the fact that I could complete it on 1 credit.

I dont have mush room left on my Switch, but I enjoy a good RTS from time to time.

If they added a joycon for head tracking then wouldnt it be VR? Kind of like the Labo robot kit.

Of course it would be totally useless as theres no software for it, but its not impossible.

@Cobalt
This game doesn't even run at 1080p 60fps on XBO/PS4. Stock XBO hits 840p and PS4 is 1080p but neither of them keep a solid 60fps. They drop to 50fps and below at times, with cutscenes at 30fps. If you want the performance you speak of it'll have to be PC.

@GKO900
It's simply true. I owned both the PS1 and N64. My PS1 was awesome for Resident Evil, Wipeout and Tekken but no platformer on it (2D or 3D) could match any of Nintendo's.

Now if you think that Crash was better than Mario 64 when they released then I'd say that would be fanboyism.

@Lameborghini
Never say never. Technology is gradually improving, the Switch can already stream games at half the bandwith that the PS4 can.

@bratzdoll
It's nothing to do with Nintendo games getting a pass. Crash was simply never in the same league, even when it first released it was a 'poor man's platformer' compared to Nintendo's games.

@Agramonte
There's no price difference between Switch/XBO/PS4 if youre buying digitally, as it's $80 on all the stores. You can find it cheaper at retail because they drop the prices to clear the stock.

I skipped this on XBO/PS4 because of the draw of a portable version.

@Giygas_95
Some reviews are out but they are mostly in Italian or something.

The game is obviously good and it looks great on Switch when docked. What I want to know is how it plays in handheld mode though, because if it isn't very playable then I could just get it on Xbox/PS4 for cheaper.

I want Wolfenstein but I'll wait for reviews.

I might pick up Thumper or Late Shift on sale this week.

@GKO900
The funny thing is when the PS4 and Xbox One were first shown Sony had the exact same plans as Microsoft with DRM and a required camera. When they saw the backlash against the Xbox One they quickly changed their plans, ending up at E3 where they ditched the PS Eye at the last moment to allow for a lower price point (hence the pointless dualshock light bar). It won them the gen before a single console even hit the shelves. They wasn't being consumer friendly though, they were just scrambling to appear different and spouting buzz words that people were eating up.

Looks like the love child of Punch Out! and Madworld.

It could do with some red for the hits.

I liked All-Star Baseball on the N64. Outside of that I've never been that interested in Baseball games and it doesn't look like that's about to change with this game.

Maybe if a good Mario Baseball game came out akin to Aces I might be more interested.

@GrailUK
I remember waiting for Renegade to load on the C64, then it would crash, then I'd rewind the tape and start waiting again. Sometimes I'd do that 3 or 4 times, my patience was much greater then.

I still enjoyed the game though, so I might pick it up for nostalgias sake.

@Cobalt
Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate is out in August, which is much more advanced than MH3 and has 3x the content of World.

Ubisoft supported the Wii U very well and didn't get much from it, so they've clearly held back with the Switch.

I think part of the problem for multiplatform titles going forward is that there's a good number of people who own a Switch and another console, so when buying a game they have to choose between portability and graphics. For Ubisoft it probably won't increase overall sales much if its just splitting them between 2 platforms. So they'll look at games that make the most sense for the handheld.

If they made an exclusive Splinter Cell, Prince of Persia, Assassins Creed etc I think that it would probably sell fairly well, but instead here comes another Just Dance.

@MegaTen
Yes this is a remake of the megadrive/genesis game.

I don't really care for football/gridiron/egg chasing so I doubt I'll get this. I would be interested in the proper football (like Mario Strikers) or hockey game though.

I hated Limbo, it's one of the few games that I really regretted spending $15 on.

@MrPerson0
So any game that reuses assets is a port? As lots of games do that then there must be lots of ports our there, like Call of Duty reusing assets means they are all ports, or sports games are simply ports each year, in fact most sequels do, so GoW1,2,3 etc are all just really ports. If so then it's probably harder to find a game that isn't a port nowadays.

I can imagine something like the triple jump being waggle with HD rumble indicators. Skeet shooting was my favorite (and least painful) event in the original, so I hope that's there in this one.

I think that there's an opening for a Wii Sports type game (Although partly filled by Mario Aces maybe), so maybe Hyper Sports could fill that hole.

In the video it kind of looks like if Metroid Prime and Call of Duty had a baby.

I've bought a few games on the Switch that were originally mobile/tablet games (such as Manticore), but they had good production values and actually work better on a system with natural controls.

I don't like the Free to Play model as everything usually ends up behind a pay wall. I'd rather just buy a game outright with everything unblocked. I'll give this a try though.

@GameOtaku
When I saw it I thought it was Shadowrun too. I loved the SNES version but the last incarnation on Xbox was nothing like it at all. There was a remake of the original happening on mobile but I'm not sure what happened to it. I wouldn't mind that being ported to the Switch.

@dartmonkey
I had the issue on 2 different saves, when I'd try to start a quest it would leave the hint screen on top of the entire screen and it wouldn't go away; completely ending my game.

Thankfully on my 3rd save it has worked ok and I can now do the quests. The extra Caps and bonuses certainly help; as now I can go over 100 dwellers with ease.

I might get this just for the Ikari Warriors games.

All that seems to be advancing in gaming is incremental improvements in graphics or boosts in resolution. Most current gen games would have been possible in some form on the last gen, so I think any game is possible on the Switch if they want to put the effort in.

I've been playing quite a bit of Fallout Shelter but there are some major issues with the game. The biggest of them is that the game always crashes when trying to build the overseers office. That makes it impossible to progress very far because you can't do quests without it.

I've reached 80+ dwellers but without the quests you can't get the bonuses and they all end up being killed by roaches.

Had Nintendo given a bit more time to other games (even the 3DS) instead of just Smash Bros then ended on something new (even if it was just a tease) then it would have been much better received.

Alternatively if they hadn't already announced Smash then that could have been a bombshell.

Gorogoa and Golf Story for me.

I'll be picking up Gorogoa and Golf Story in the sale. I'm tempted by Splatoon and BOTW too.

I have to try to be self restrained though as I'm getting Mario Aces as well.

I was disappointed with the E3 direct but they did list a bunch of titles that are releasing this year. After the dust had settled I made a list of the games I plan on picking up this year and its completely dominated by Switch games. The only PS4 title coming is Spiderman, the only Xbox one is Forza Horizons 4, with the multiplatform Red Dead Redemption 2, COD, Assassins Creed Odyssey, FIFA, Madden etc rounding out the releases. Unless there are games I'm forgetting the Switch lineup seems much fuller than the PS4/XBO offerings.

Here's my currently 'most wanted' list for 2018:
Mario Tennis Aces
Donkey Kong + Rabbids
Wolfenstein 2 TNC
Octopath Traveller
Okami
Monster Hunter Generations
TWEWY
FIFA 19
Starlink
Spiderman
Red Dead Redemption 2
Pokemon Lets Go Pikachu
Super Smash Bros Ultimate

I might add Assassins Creed Odyssey to it, as although I don't like A.C. games that one actually looks good.

So a poor E3 showing, a weaker year, but there's still a bunch of games that I want.

I liked Hypersports back in the day, although Daley Thompson's Decathalon was our go to at home.

Motion controls could be a good thing for this game, as these games could be killers of controllers.

This is a great game, both fun and innovative. It takes around 6 hours to finish everything and I would have liked more; but it's very worthy of its 8/10 score.

@Liam_Doolan
Thanks =)

I automatically assumed there's a digital version but I forgot about the toy part. I don't know if the toys optional or if its like Disney Infinity etc where you need the portal to play.

If the toy wasn't necessary would the digital version be cheaper? Would it have Star Fox without the toy? I want this game but there's lots I need to know.

The game is 15GB or if you buy on cartridge there's an additional 15GB?

I'm trying to decide digital or physical for this one.

I liked Trials on the Xbox 360 but it wasnt a game that I wanted to spend much time playing on the TV.

Portable on the Switch is something I might be interested in though.

Is this the only DLC that is releasing?

I didn't get the season pass as I wanted to know what content would be released. If it was just cosmetic or multiplayer things then I wouldn't be interested, but I'm certainly down for a full campaign.

This game went from 'it looks ok' to 'I must get this' in under a minute.

Going bananas for this game.
