I really hate being that person, but with the amount of SD card space I have remaining being a dismal number, I'm going to have to pass on this myself. It's exactly why I wanted it physical in the first place, to avoid the usage of my space being eaten away. Sigh. I'm bummed.

Astral Chain and Spyro for me this week. Busy weekend inbound.

While I get what you're saying, I'm part of a userbase that hasn't played this game yet. Yes, I know my switch can go full on portable. I switch up my gaming habits depending on the game I'm playing. All I'm saying is that there can be an audience for this game even if it's not for you and that's fine. If I were to buy this game I would only play it docked, while connected to my TV the same way one would on PS4. Just because I can't play this game in every way that is versatile to the system doesn't mean there won't ever come a time for me to play it. That's the beauty of our little system, and if a game truly doesn't suit your way of play that's fine, but it doesnt mean others, who may not own other ways to play, won't be interested.

@YourGoodFriendly
If this game is actually coming to switch, I don't see why that argument would hold any water. If the Switch is the only method of play you have, or if maybe you're a person that doesn't even own a different system which can play this game, then this is the demographic they are shooting for. Personally, I'd just play this game docked at home because I'm interested in trying this game out personally, and I would just play something else when I want to go out and about.

@Bunkerneath
I sincerely hope that's because it should be expected that it will contain a physical cart instead of their not being one with a digital download code inside. ^^;

However, it does suck that because of such practices we now question if a physical release is actually physical.

I feel like I played this game on 3ds. It's been so long though.

Daisy finally getting some love! Thank you Nintendo!

Fire Emblem Three Houses most likely. Possibly a splash of golf story for good measure.

Well flip me over and call me a pancake. That's a lot of levels to sift through and play.

It's crazy how something so simple can become a controversial line these days. If boys and girls didn't become men and women, none of us here today would exist, and we wouldn't have reached the point where tech helps make today's standards of being what you want possible. Just let these parents have fun.

Well, I'll be. One of my work mates keeps asking me if I have a baseball game for my switch and I didn't want to break down and buy the RBI games just yet. Most likely this will definitely be my first baseball related game on switch. Seems pretty solid if it does transition well to the console.

I'll be playing Horizon Chase Turbo and Golf Story with a friend off and on after work.

It's not about thinking we know better. It's about the developers taking out core assets that make the game truly what it is in favor of a literal gimmick. As you've said, there are people who are going to be okay with it, and that's fine, but that doesn't mean that those who aren't happy with the decision should sit back and say nothing at all. For one this is a forum, we can be as vocal as we wish, and on top of that, suffering in silence isn't the way to help the community grow. Having opinions isn't supposed to simply be divisive, and I don't think this is one that is controversial. Game Freak has been slowly dropping the ball for years, and it's getting worse. Once we start conforming in favor of just going with the flow, we lose our chance to make sure we get actually finished games with completed content. Our voices should matter.

@johnvboy Sometimes the fans know the core audience better than the developers. You don't always need to go so far outside of the box to find success. Just look back at all the previous mechanics that everyone loved. I can't believe that the first game on the switch wouldn't have the processing power to house all current Pokemon, but the 3ds could. I'm sure everyone would agree that the 3ds was lower tier hardware, but yet, all 800+ Pokemon was always available within the games. Sure down the line I can see there being too many, but I doubt another 50 or so Pokemon added into the game is pushing the hardware to the max. Of course fans would be mad, each Pokemon had it's place within the game. Heck, the whole literal point of the game is to catch them all! It's not an extreme reaction to feel slighted.

I can get why people would be upset over this. When you consider fan made projects that incorporated different design ideas that work for the series, it's surprising that Gamefreak would think removal of Pokemon in lay of a new gimmick was the right way to go. Keep what works and improve on what doesn't. Go over series best and reincorporate that into the game. Instead we lose some troops, and are expected to be ok with it for the new game play mechanics that probably won't be there come the next generation. I'm definitely not as hyped as I could have been. Just give me an iincreased difficulty function like random trainers with six Pokemon or something. Lol

Aside from bait for fish (virtual fishing is already usually tedious enough without bait being neccessary) I love everything about this game! It's going to be amazing and well worth the delayed wait.

Looks like there will be no soft resets. I wonder what his new job will be.

@memoryman3
Gooigi over Daisy. I don't approve. While I don't mind Gooigi, it's sad Daisy receives no love.

....Just...why? It's a slap in the face to not try to do anything special with it. I'm sure the franchise is selling well enough on Switch, which is why they are bothering in some ways, but it's sad that they don't add any effort.

@Mgene15 I own a ps4, but no internet, and I'm not sure if I even plan on getting it soon. It's literally gathering dust since everything has to be downloaded. With my Switch I take it to work and use the wifi there for downloads. Everyone's situation is different and the obvious road isnt always straightforward when people want other avenues to open.

I don't think its typical for a person to have a triple digit Jersey number, and even more is the fact that it was indeed the date of a Poke Direct, means that it could potentially be a correct theory. It would be a cute one if it does turn out to be true.

I'm currently playing My time at Portia. As laggy as it can be, I am truly enjoying this game. It's a nice time waster while waiting for animal crossing. I just started it a few days ago, and I'm on my second season.

I've currently restarted Pokemon Ultra Sun. When it first came out I didnt really have much interest in playing it, but I'm enjoying it a lot so far! When I go to work I usually play Mario kart with my coworkers so that too come tomorrow night. 3rd shifter here. Lol

I'll be playing Ace Attorney because I'm a sucker for this series.

I'm looking forward to everything on the list. Lol I'm glad animal crossing didnt fall out of the 2019 release window!
This year is still shaping up to go out with a bang. Nintendo has my wallet in their clutches and don't want to let go.

This game looks awesome. That aside, it is a shame a spin off is coming to switch and not ps5 itself, considering the core audience are those that have played persona 5 I'm sure. Its kind of like Pokemon Mystery Dungeon releasing on ps4, and not a main line title in the series.

I'd buy and play this. I will buy this. Lol Just at this point I have to decide if I'll get ps5 for my ps4 or not.

I'm still stuck wondering how they decided to make a Detective Pikachu movie in the first place, and now even more surprised to know it's most likely good and enjoyable. Lol

So not only console parity, we also get exclusive content basically? If it's true, I'm more excited for it. I love gaming with my brother so local coop would be amazing.

And it ain't no lie. Bye, bye, bye.
I can't, nor, will I support this. Third party be darn. It's pointless to try to swindle people with a game box with nothing more than digital content inside. Again, this is just my opinion on it. Perhaps box collectors can find a love, but my heart isnt swayed.

@Peterjr1
I could be totally wrong, but I believe they were being sarcastic as hinted at by their last sentence. ^^;

I've been switching between WarGroove and Moonlighter this weekend. Having a jolly good time to boot.

Been interested in Airheart. Didn't know much about it. Thanks for the reviews guys.

I preordered AWAY. I love the art style so here's hoping it's good.

@dimi
I'm not disagreeing in full, but I believe the true problem with this is that there are hardly any major 3rd party exclusives on switch, and the 3rd party titles that do come out are ports or delayed titles.

Sigh. I'm not gonna go out of my way to ask for it, but if you wanted to bring it to switch I would be interested.

At this point, switch sells alone should be enough to interest developers in taking the time to bring their titles over.

Perhaps the boy is sincere and it is truly his mother pushing for the lawsuit. He could very well have been happy that the dance was represented. The root of all evil is money I suppose and they know epic has a lot of it.

Rain World for me this week.

Cattails for me please and thank you.

I'm so happy to hear this! If only because it means we should definitely never go for want of games during the switch's lifetime.

The sad part of Wii u were the droughts and I'm already happy with what we have on switch, and the future is looking pretty darn bright with what we know to be coming in the next year alone.

Congrats on the success nintendo! Not that they dont have faults that can definitely be worked on, but overall I'm happy with my little travel companion.

@cobalt
Um, your point being what exactly? ^^; Because I don't see the problem with this for those that would be interested in a physical copy of the game.
Looking terrible and being terrible are two different things, and i didn't realize this game could be judged in its entirety yet for being a terrible experience not worthy of having these sort of viable options to all consumers.

I'll be buying the switch version on release.

I remember learning about this game way back in April at Pax East.

I forgot about it since then(haha), but I'll still buy it whenever it comes out. (:

@Moroboshi876
If I recall correctly, Final Fantasy X / X-2 and Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age have been confirmed physical on switch.

It's a gorgeous game, and I loved it on ps4, but I have a hard time accepting the digital only price point and download size. I am currently low on space so I'm being a tad picky because of that.

Maybe whenever it has a future sale I will consider buying it then, but I guess they didn't believe in switch sales for this particular title physically.

I used to love playing as paratroopa in Mario tennis for the 64. He is nostalgic for me, so I am one of the few interested parties. Lol

Dark Souls and possibly Valkyria Chronicles for me this week.

@Cobalt
It's all opinion.
If you think the outside of the car looks good and you say so, it doesnt take away from the outside of the car, right? But you start that same car and it stutters every few blocks, it's like looking at the animations for this game. However, as everyone has already said, that can be ironed out before release.
So if they think the game looks good, I do not understand why you even have a problem with THEIR opinion.

I haven't dipped into the expansion pass yet so this is wonderful news indeed. I will be getting the physical edition, but as I'll be out of town a few months more I'm glad to hear that I can just open an email to add it to my current gaming experience.

Just Hollow Knight and Bloons TD for me this week. Mostly Hollow Knight. I'm so happy it's out.

West of Loathing. It's actually a really interesting game. Enjoying it so far.

There shall also be a sprinkle of Hyrule Warriors and Mario Tennis Aces in my weekend schedule as well.
