Being a cricketer myself even I'm not excited by this. There's no fun in a realistic cricket sim. Needs to be an arcade interpretation. Big hits, big heads, I don't know exactly how you can spice up cricket like.

God I wish we could just get NHL on the Switch.

fancy announcing it with no trailer

Please bring Turok Evolution from the Gamecube! Me and my brothers favourite FPS of all time!

You'd think after all the talk of this happening, something would have been said to poo poo all over it. The fact that these comments have only just been made makes me think we'll finally see something at E3.

The best benefit of indie games is that gaming has become affordable! I have over 40 games in my library but only 6 of them are 'big' games. When a new release sets you back in the region of a tenner and can often offer 10-20 hours gameplay you know you're on to a winner.

Sundered Eldritch Edition is my number one

@RazumikhinPG there won't be, that's just a myth

So much crap coming out every week it's unreal.

I can't believe that 2 years on from the Switch's release, the eshop is still displaying the most recent releases without showcasing the wealth of what the eshop really has to offer.

I can't believe there's no 'editors choice' section or 'critically acclaimed', or sections dedicated to popular developers etc.

Ape Out got a 9 out of 10 on here today, but it's visibility will be gone this time next week.

Two of my friends have recently bought a Switch only to sell them within a couple of weeks because they couldn't find anything decent on the eshop.

@Alto yeah I get that some things have to stay to make it still feel like Pokémon. I'm just sick to death with getting 8 badges in a linear fashion to end with the elite 4. Get rid of that formula and just give us a cool story to progress through.

As a long time fan and player of this series since the days of red and blue, this has to be the most underwhelming generation yet.

Thank god it says not final graphics because those backgrounds are hideous. Random encounters should never be used again. This was their opportunity to truly change up the system.

It needed Yo Kai 4/ Ni No Kuni 2 style graphics, a BOTW style open world, with monsters wandering around the planes in herds or alone Xenoblade 2 style, being able to selectively choose your battles as you see fit.

I can't believe they are still going to use a linear game patch using routes with walls either side. Huge let down to say the least.

Hoping for Yo Kai Watch 4/ Ni No Kuni style graphics, with a BOTW style open world with wild pokemon just wondering around for you to approach and attach similar to Xenoblade 2.

@Amrulez the first thing that appeals to me is the hand drawn animation, everything runs so smoothly and while the screen can become chaotic it's easy to navigate the battles compared to dead cells. The bosses are fantastic, the story is great with out being obtrusive, the antagonist is fascinating, the abilities are great although not groundbreaking. And i love the fact there are 2 different sets of abilities that you have the choice of choosing, with a different ending and last boss for each. You can go one of 3 different routes depending on your choices. I started a second playthrough immediately after completing it for the first time as I just wasn't ready to quit playing, and that was after it took me 12 hours the first time around.

Sundered was better for me. Very similar games but Sundered outdoes it in every department. Might have had something to do with the fact that it was £3.50 from the Russian eshop aswell

Ecco The Dolphin

I take it this would be a streaming service? I'd pay a subscription for it!

FIRST

And no, I couldn't think of anything more to say

@Spudtendo this year? Source?

bit mindless for my liking. Fly around, shoot, fly around some more, then shoot again. Boring

Perfect for my 5 year old, not for me unfortunately. It's just too slow. Yoshi's Isand was perfect. If it was a faster paced and slightly more frantic then great. It is what it is though, I'd say the demographic is young kids and casual female gamers. I know both of my sisters are looking forward to it and neither would consider themselves 'gamers'.

Wonder what will be the next chart topper for the Switch. Can't imagine Yoshi is going to be there or there abouts. Probably Mario Maker 2? The direct was great with lots to look forward to, but there's nothing releasing this side of summer that is going to be the next big hit i don't think. Sad really.

Finished my first play through last night. Incredible game. It's hard as nails but death is always something to look forward to as you know you'll get the chance to make you character stronger, meaning that room you couldn't clear last time should be a breeze the next. The new abilities are always a lovely surprise and make traversing the landscapes so entertaining. The graphics and boss fights are some of the best in gaming, the story is great while not being overwhelming... Fully expected to go back to Hollow Knight after this but I think I might play it a second time to get the different ending. Can't wait to jump back in.

Metroid Dread

@BradC40 they ought to go one better and make Smash Kart will a full star studded cast and themed tracks, weapons and karts to go with them.

@KryptoniteKrunch make sure you play Daemon docked, it doesn't look particularly pretty in handheld mode.

Going to try and complete my first run through of Sundered Eldrich Edition (absolute bargain at £3.50 on the Russian eShop), a bit of Tetris 99, a bit of Smash Bros, a bit of Downwell.

Not played it yet but if it's anything like Sundered I will give it a go! (Sundered is only £3.50 on the Russian eShop if anyone is a fan of Dead Cells).

If anyone is looking for an equally enthralling experience then check out Sundered, on sale at the Russian eshop for just £3.50! Visually just as impressive, combat just as satisfying, exploration not as exhilarating but overall just as enjoyable.

@brunojenso Once I'm done with Sundered Eldrich Edition I'll definitely be starting it again (definitely check that out if you like Metroidvanias with unique art styles, £3.50 right now on Russian eshop, £15 over here!).

Quick question on HK. The expansions... Are they simply implemented into the game or do they unlock after completing the main game? Not sure how I would know if what I am exploring is DLC or just part of the main game...

They need to allow to you to play with friends and join their group. Saying that if one of you gets knocked out early doors it could be a bit of a grind for them to wait until their friends finish. The least they can do is give us leaderboards between friends.

Best finishes have been 11th and 2x 12th. Just can't break into that top 10!

Looks like the Starlink trailer killed this rumour

Team Cherry's video on youtube explicitly says 'Hollow Knight: Silksong will be launching on Windows, Mac, Linux and Nintendo Switch.'

It looks even better than the original. I played 20 hours of HK and never completed it. I've been away from it for that long I might just start again.

I'll happily pay £20 for this. I assume it will be free for KS backers and chargeable to everyone else? They did say it's the second game by TC so I'm assuming it isn't DLC.

YES! Eat it haha

@Kidfunkadelic83 no Metroid, no SNES and no Retro Studios news- I was positive we'd see whatever it was they were working on for the last 5 years. Really wished Starfox Grand Prix was real, but I guess the Starlink trailer killed off that rumour.

Loved LA, not entirely struck on the art style although I admit it's unique. Still a day 1 purchase mind.

Nintendo need to go all out and acquire Platinum, just do whatever it takes. Imagine the salt from none Nintendo fans

Paper Mario theme please. Multiple playable characters. Online races with friends would be cool.

Would be nice to have a definitive score. A thumbs up could mean a 7 and up but there's a huge difference between a 7 and an 8.

Please show off a new updated eshop.

@nofriendo admittedly I did use a guide a couple of times, but because the game isn't exactly linear, it was hard to find the correct part of a guide that was relevant for me so that was equally as frustrating!

Confirms to me by the way that there'll be no Direct this week, surely this is Direct worthy news?

Played for so so long and then just got to a point where I had no idea where to go to advance. There were doors on the map that I hand't gone through yet but had absolutely no idea how to get to them. After trawling around for another couple of hours I fell out of favour with it and moved on to something else.

Once I'm done with Sundered I'll probably go back to it and start over.

@misterMike Absolutely BOTW is the best ever- can't recall an experience quite like it. Pure opinion of course.

@Spudtendo I'd say not even a 3rd of it's way through. I sincerely hope it does a 3DS and is around for the best part of 7-8 years. I have absolutely no qualms in not having a console with similar power to PS5 or the next Xbox. Sure we might not get as many 3rd party releases since they'll not doubt rather utilise next gen power, but as long as Nintendo continues to put out stellar 1st party title and good quality indies continue to flow at a steady pace, I'll gladly support it until the end.

Why are you reporting now on week old news? All of this came out immediately after the share holders meeting

Does it bring about as many laughs as NBA Jam? The commentary made Jam for me and without it I'm not sure I'd enjoy it as much.

Is it in 3D? If not then no thanks

Nate from Yo Kai Watch, Leon from Resi 4, Travis Touchdown and Amaterasu would be my dream 4 for the other DLC characters.

@Zimon the one thing that puts me off these games is that sometimes there is only one sequence of moves that works to defeat a map.

I remember in Advance Wars Dual Strike there was a level that no matter what you did the enemy would move in the exact same way. This led to countless trial and errors and ended up feeling more like a puzzle game than a strategy game.

Hope this isn't the case here.
