Man, Inti Creates is killing it on Switch. I played the first game on Steam, and it is a surprisingly fun on-rails shooter. Not nearly as 'raunchy' as it could've been, too. You're not going to see anything in this game that is more shocking than in the usual anime.
Pretty much the only improvement I want in this sequel is a better translation. All dialogue in the original felt very stilted and was riddled with typos. Considering the improvement in dialogue between the original Gunvolt 3DS and the Striker Pack, I think I can trust Inti with this.
Guess I'll weigh in on this too. In my room, where I usually play Switch, I also have my PC to watch Netflix/Youtube/Crunchy on. I also have a smartphone and a tablet. Not to mention my Switch's connectivity up here is bad enough that I would spend most of my time waiting for videos to buffer.
...Of course that doesn't mean this shouldn't happen, though. Plenty of people seem really interested!
I have zero interest in MOBAs myself, but I understand the importance of something like this. If this goes well and Nintendo builds trust with Tencent, I can only imagine how fantastic that would be for pretty much everyone.
Seeing the excitement from the Pokken community for this game (which will finally even the ground again between internation players and adds more competitive tools) has been very awesome over the past few months.
I got the original on 3DS and Wii U, and it is actually what got me to watch the anime. I really really like this game! I won't get it a third time though, sorry Bandai Namco!
Wait, Elise was already confirmed? How did I miss that? But yeah, all Fates royals are now accounted for, as expected. This game can't come soon enough!
I have already (somehow) put 15 hours into Blaster Master Zero and still more to do, so I will take anything Inti gives me. I love these character designs. Also it seems a lot of people who worked on Mega Man Zero came back for this game, including the artwork artist. Awesome!
Now I imagine that scene from Fates where you have to choose your path, only with Ryoma holding a '720p 60fps' sign and Xander holding a '1080p 30fps' sign. It's neat to have a choice, though! I wasn't even aware that Musou games could get to 60fps in the first place!
@gatorboi352 Man, the Wii U Pro Controller is god tier. I actually got a PC adapter so I could use the Wii U PC as my controller for Steam games. So good!
@GrailUK It actually is my first KoF! It's a bit difficult to try and learn characters during matches with a relentless timer and a enemy trying to beat your face in, haha.
I got 2000 last week as I've been meaning to get into KoF for a while... but this game is really hard! It's also too bad it doesn't have a training mode as far as I see, so I have to practice the game while constantly being beat up by the CPU... I, uh, think I'll skip on '99 and just wait until KoF14 goes on sale on Steam.
That is quite possibly my favourite design for 3DS/2DS. So slick! Congratulations to Nintendo, Square-Enix and Sony for these sale numbers! Can't wait for this game (hopefully all three versions) to go worldwide!
@yuwarite Are you implying that Switch has a bigger install base than 3DS? Because uh.... hm. If you want the game on Switch because you think it's the better console, just say that!
I will always say yes to more EO games, and the first PQ was excellent too (although the characterization was... off). I haven't played P5 yet, so I guess this will be my introduction to those characters. I get why some people would want this on Switch (moar powah!!!) but I really don't think EO is suited for Switch... the map-drawing is an intrinsic part of the franchise, and I really don't want to do that with a controller...
I am one of those weirdos who is more excited about this than Splatoon 2, so I'm definitely getting this tomorrow. Playing through the demo with my friends as party members is just the best.
Fire Emblem Heroes is great fun! I'm sure a team of 100 people is relatively much for a mobile game. Looking forward to whatever else DeNA has cooking.
I've had this one on my game release calendar on the 21st for a while now, so it's not really news to me. I've been waiting for a Switch action game to tide me over until Fire Emblem Warriors!
This article seems unusually... aggressive? The random 'Robotnik' part and the "rather than just stamping on the blue blur’s face repeatedly" part? I dunno, might just be me. I'm hoping a demo releases for this game so I can try out the gameplay for myself. I've been known to have a higher tolerance for 'bad' games/movies than most people.
Time for me to inject some much needed hype into this comment section! Lissa, Robin and Lucina being confirmed is awesome, but I had been hoping to see Frederick in this... and here he is! This game was already a must-buy from me (like any Musou game), but I guess it just became... double as must-buy?
Whoa, this week is packed! I'll get the Miitopia demo, and that RCR game looks hilarious from the screenshots. Is it any good? Will there be a review of it?
I learned some C# over the past few months, and I have to say that it is immensely satisfying to create something out of nothing, or to fix an issue in your program. I hope this can get more people to start coding, even just as a hobby!
I already got Disgaea last thursday, and it's really good! I'm not good at strategy RPGs at all, so I hope I can grind my way through the game like I did with the 3DS Fire Emblems. Digitally nothing here for me though. Looking forward to the ARMS event this weekend!
My sister got a 3DS recently and just finished PL vs. AA. Just in time for her to get the AA Trilogy! Score! As for me, I might get that Dark Witch rhythm game if reviews are good.
No matter the content of this article, that headline seems... wrong, somehow? I'm not sure you should be sounding this 'meet hero who is wronged by villain' in a headline, unless it's a opinion-piece.
What's up with the random dig at Other M in those details? This figma looks really great, though. I wish I had some money lying around to spend on this kind of stuff... especially considering that by the time I do have that kind of money, the thing will extremely likely be out of sale.
Looks like this is the closest we're getting to having Tron Bonne in a non-2D fighting game That is some really cool art, too! I admit that my interest in this game was very low at announcement, but it's slowely starting to increase.
"Such online gameplay", much wow. ... Me being bored enough that I can make a stupid meme pun out of a typo should be an indicator that I really wish it were Friday already
I read the article and I'm like "Ah, that's clear". Then I read the comments and now I'm confused all over again about what is and isn't saved to account/hardware between Switch, 3DS and WiiU. Although I'm pretty sure nothing about this user interface statement says that you can download 3DS/WiiU games to Switch, so I don't know where people are getting that idea from.
Another day, another massive bonfire of a comment section. While I used the Wii U browser quite a bit early on, when I didn't have any smart devices, nowadays I only use it to run a Hyrule Warriors trainer. I won't miss the browser much, but others probably will. Good thing I'm buying Switch for the games!

Re: Pokkén Tournament DX Demo Confirmed for the Switch eShop
Wonder how the demo will work? I guess just one or two characters available from the roster to play matches against CPU or other local players?
Re: Review: The King of Fighters '99 (Switch eShop / Neo Geo)
