It will likely be Eastward, but I patiently await my imported physical copy before I play. Although the Castlevania Advance collection is a solid pick.
"Yes, uhh...please allow me to introduce myself. I'm a small time, independent developer. Last name Hojima first name Kideo. I would like to develop, out of my garage, a game called Silent Hills with my two no-name kotaku friends Gorman Needus and Robert Rodriguez, but make sure to swap the capital 'R's in Robert Rodriguez' name."
I'm importing a physical copy. I'm trying my best to keep the best games in physical copies. When the lights shut down on the Switch, I want to revisit the "greatest hits" when I want to, how I want to.
@Edwirichuu It runs just fine. Seems like a pretty constant 30fps. I mostly play in handheld. It'll start the fan up on occasion. Looking forward to playing it on my OLED.
I already purchased Crysis for two profiles, but I'll STILL buy the physical versions of all 3 of these games. Saber Interactive knows how to make Switch innards hummm...
I know there was a lot of hand-wringing and concern trolling that this wouldn't have English voice-overs (DESPITE Atlus saying otherwise on numerous occasions) on other sites. Let them eat crow.
Alien: Isolation looks better on Switch than on the PS4 and Xbox One. It needs to be on this list harder than the Cross of Coronado NEEDS to be in a museum.
I'm having a hard time gaming. I'm purchasing games, but the thought of playing games on a superior screen in just a couple weeks is actually making it difficult to fire these games up. I think the next time I'll be gaming in earnest will be October 8th.
@Don I don't think Rare has any say about what Nintendo does with Donkey Kong. It might just be a courtesy, since Microsoft has proven to be one of Nintendo's best western third party publishers. MAN that feels weird to say!
@SwitchForce
Mario Kart 8 runs at 60 fps. You are correct; Switch OLED didn't make it happen. My point was, seeing that on a display on the OLED screen will make people forget to blink, because they'll hardly believe what they're seeing. It was also happening on the LED screens of the original Switch, it just didn't look this good.
Yuji Naka made Balan Wonderland?! WHAT DID YOU DO TO MICHAEL JACKSON?! WHAT DID YOU DO TO MICHAEL JACKSON?! Even the staunchest movie aficionados here probably won't get that quote. I don't know if that actually dates me or pigeonholes me.
Doubters of the Switch OLED will not be able to bury their head in the sand when they see one of these displays. Carp all you want about the same chipset and joycon drift, but just seeing one of those displays playing MK in all it's 60 fps glory will put systems in hands.
Maybe I'm just a walking ad for this game at this point, but I'll put some time into Love Esquire on this baby, for sure. That and House in Fata Morgana.
I'm not even joking, I am THRILLED to see another Yangyang mobile game so soon after playing Love Esquire. Love Esquire has some shockingly good writing and voice acting. Day one for one of those physical copies!

These games are relaxing and fun. Plus the characters tend to be easy on the eyes. No complaints. Get us a Sophie/Ryza crossover!
Re: Review: The Forgotten City - Cloud Version - A Skyrim Mod Turned Gripping Narrative Time Loop
Why isn't there an option to rent it, since it will never be yours? I might consider renting, if the price was reasonable.

Does anybody remember Fall Guys was supposed to release in August? I'm starting to think it's like Tiger from The Brady Bunch. Where is that dog?

Re: Cult GameCube Shmup 'Castle of Shikigami 2' Is Headed To Switch This December
A mystery shmup. I'm going to guess the murder was done by Flotilla Flagship in Hell with the Bullet. This will be my answer every time I play.

Then I guess you're going to be really, really sad when you see those Nintendo receipts. Kleenex?
Re: The First Switch OLED Comparison Video Has Surfaced
I've actually curbed my gaming until the OLED's imminent arrival. I think I've got two launch Switches I'm free to tinker with now.
