I may be in the minority around here, but I like the art style.

I do think they should have released both versions in December however. MO is set to steal a LOT of people's time upon release this month.

@OorWullie
I think the difference between EA and Bethesda is that people didn't have high hopes for their FIFA game in the first place. EA has burned Nintendo gamers in the past, and sometimes when you burn trust it's hard to get out of that rut, especially when their portable FIFA was missing features.

Whereas, even around here, a lot of people claim they will support releases like DOOM and Skyrim. Bethesda has never released their games on a Nintendo system. They have never burned anyone's trust here. On top of that, they are putting in actual effort. The games look amazing. That's all anyone who cares wanted. I don't think these games will end the same way as FIFA, but how highly they sale with great competition is a different story.

And it may be that it's a small budget looking game, but those little games can have hours upon hours worth of fun in them. And they are about equal to the price of a meal I get at a restaurant.

At least with these games there is the factor of replayability.

@DEZn00ts
The only reason I would have confusion to your post is that you're posting it on a forum, for a game, that is releasing on the Switch first. It's not even on any other systems yet, not even PC, so I don't understand why Wulverblade gets your 'the Switch is a lean, mean porting machine' ranting.

@AcridSkull
Stroll up a couple of posts...he didn't even know it existed.

Hmm, the only reason I considered it at first was because of the price point.

It's too bad there isn't more going for it.

I guess Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime it will be whenever I break free from Stardew Valley to play with my comrades.

@JHDK
I reeeeeally hope this doesn't stop the capture button from gaining some video outputs in the future.

The timing of this might not be coincidence, but brought on because of what happened with PDP on live. Which kind of makes sense from a Nintendo standpoint. They realized the scope of live was too wide an avenue.
It sucks, but it is Nintendo alas.

I took the plunge and entered!
Thanks so much for this incredible contest guys!
They are all great prizes.

It really shouldn't have to be this way. Smh. I hope they mean it when they say they will increase stock.

Gotta love MyNintendo. It's sooo much better than Club Nintendo right? Right?? (Forces smile)

@kobeskillz
Yeah, I heard about that. I wouldn't say a slap in the face, since it's a different audience of people and it was available at that price over on Xbox when it originally released, but if you own an Xbox there isn't much that beats free. It makes the Switch version a hard sell for sure.

At the end of the day, you can just think of it as paying the developers for the quality of their product. And the positive reviews say that its a quality game.

I can't wait!

I remember being way more excited around this time last year for the originals, but this...yeah, I don't really have much interest in either of them honestly.
The Veterans pack is laughable at best since there's no way I would even be tempted to own two more copies of what isn't really that different an experience of what I played not even a year ago.

The movie was blows raspberry but this game is looking really good. They definitely picked the right team for the job.

If this game doesn't release on Thursday over here in the states, I will be forced into needing a European account.

@ShikabaneHime13
Heehee, I was the same way honestly. Couldn't detach myself from my Switch, but I always knew I would get MHS regardless, and now it's the only game I've touched these last few weeks besides picking up Xenoverse and a few eshop titles.
It. Is. Sooo. Good. Highly recommended.

@GamePerson19
Oh yeah. I had totally forgotten about that...Welp, I guess that changes things. Stick to the PC version boys and girls.

@JaxonH
Yes! I agree wholeheartedly.
At first, during the Wii U era, we were getting shafted on content when third party games came to the system at all.

Now the main complaint is 30fps?! Like come on!
The game looks great and it will have ALL of the content! That to me is a win! And it can be played on the go! That's steps above what the Wii U had.

Bethesda is bringing great, nearly current, games to the Switch. Can we appreciate that and have fun gaming like the good old days?

I keep eying the game on the eshop, so I guess at this point I will just wait for the full retail release to save a bit of download space for other games now.

Hmm, for the price point I'm just not sure yet. Buuuut, I'm sure I'll pick it up eventually, even if I am sure it most likely won't be until next year unfortunately due to an influx of great titles I want from tomorrow until the end of the year.

@bluesdance
It makes sense for them not to currently rate the game though. If/when the patch comes, then the rating would be off because the problems that exist currently make it unplayable and they have addressed that. However, once the patch comes and has fixed the problems that plague the game, that would be the time to let those interested know how the game stands up.

They even said they would most likely recommend it once the problems are corrected so the lack of a rating is justified in that case.

There's also the fact most reviewers don't review a game after patches to reflect the current state of a game.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE
The Switch is the first modern console where I have been able to plug in a retail game of any sort and just play it. The fact that there will be times when a portion of the game has to be downloaded to the SD card...I don't see the problem.
If I lose the memory card? I could lose the cart itself as well.
Downloading a portion of the game? I've had to do that with EVERY retail game I bought for my ps4, waiting patiently to play them.
This isn't an end of the world problem at all. At least I honestly can't see it that way, and I normally agree with you on a lot of points. But until I can slide a disk into my ps4 and play a game with no updates, this isn't anything new.

This is one of the only games post-Switch I am happy is a Nintendo 3ds release.
My friends have a 3ds and not a Switch at this time, and both love Mario Party, so I'm sure I'll be keeping my 3ds around a little longer thanks to that. So yes, I don't mind one more game remaining a 3ds exclusive. The era of Switch has only just begun.

First day buy, since I'm one of the two people who have never played this game in any way, shape, or form.

How To Train Your Dragon...er, Monster Hunter Stories for me for sure tomorrow as a retail purchase.
Other than that I'm sure I'll pick up a few of the other titles as well, but that is the only automatic buy for me this week.

It's adorably cute and it has a lot of interesting mechanics. I'll be interested in picking this one up for sure.

Wow...most of these are either coming first or are just exclusive to switch. And they look super intriguing.

I love his dedication. The game looks amazing. Can't wait for release.

Okay, I'm starting to agree that the whole doggy treat tactic of seeing if a game should come to switch is getting stale, though this feels more playful than anything in its delivery I know.
Nonetheless, I would like it if they did come to Switch.

Yes, I'm interested. I love the style of this game.

I'm interested in this. I've spent 20 dollars on just one meal for myself. And this game has replay value.

At least there is more third party support and more to choose from for the switch so far than that of the beginning of the Wii u's life.
So much I don't think I can afford all that I want to get. xD

@MrGawain
Why isn't Mario still that game for little Jimmy to open during Christmas? Mario releases in late October, which is only two months away from Christmas and most people do Christmas shop early these days. It's most likely releasing at the perfect time to maximize sales.

@krisi
Yes I have. (: I'm just saying i still can't wrap my mind around it sometimes. Lol I love the amiibo though. They look amazing.

I still can't wrap my mind around Bowser wanting to marry Peach. It's a bit...weird.

I'm sure Nintendo didn't take this route originally since the original dock makes it look more like a home console. Seeing it like this, one would immediately say it's a handheld system.

@LeRaposa
It is good support...when they could have decided not to make any switch games at all. To me the support feels better than that for Wii U so its a start. Considering how that system went i can understand the testtube feeding of games for now.

@Azooooz
I can't speak for everyone but for me its like a hurt if you do, hurt if you don't situation. If people buy into this knowing how it is missing a bit of content like say story mode then it might become the new benchmark for other 3rd parties. If you don't buy to make a statement then they won't support the console anymore at all not fully grasping the reason behind the lack of a purchase.
However, there is a Switch mode to this game that could actually make up for the lack of story mode. Time will tell, so I'm currently sitting on the fence for now.

I know I bashed this game at one point but it might actually be worth a purchase. Price and some actual footage will see if I truly cross over the fence.

As for this particular game, I would love to support them. I love local multiplayer affairs so I'm sure I will get some good fun out of the purchase. (:

@SLIGEACH_FIRE
I don't happen to think it is. I played the demo with motion controls, and then split my controllers to play multiplayer with my brother for a few sessions. I actually preferred it over motion, but everyone is well to their own opinions of course.

@MrGawain At least we are getting alternate versions of NBA 2k for Switch. I can support that wholeheartedly. This...not so much. :/

If it's 59.99 count me and my money out. Best Buy Games Club discount or not, if it's missing features it should be cheaper. No ifs, ands, or buts. If you aren't going to make the full iteration available on Switch why even bother?

Ain't that a kick in the head? No not really actually. I already knew not to expect anything worthy of support from EA. I actually would have been shocked if it were of more equal quality.

I don't know if it has to do with it not being something people want. I mean sure in some respects obviously, but personally I never even heard of the game until now. It could be they just needed to advertise it better.

Maybe one day we will look back on the early stages Mynintendo and laugh while holding back a cringe, thinking about what it used to be and how far it has come.
Unfortunately, today doesn't seem to be that day, but I will get the theme because why not?

I dunno. Just because they lower the Switch stretch goal, doesn't mean their heart will be into making it a polished experience. The initional stretch goal was 5m. Which means it was a very low priority to them over other additional features. I can't see myself trusting this because of that factor.

Still loving what I see! The only thing is now I cannot wait for it to release!

I'm glad you came away opmistic from the demo. I have wanted this game since I first heard about it and I will still most likely get it even if it wasn't a completely fluid experience. It just looks so gosh darn adorable.
