Yeah I was playing the Switch version.
It performed ok.
It did have some stuttering and the load times were about 2 seconds between screens, sometimes a little bit longer but I still absolutely loved my time with it.
It wasn't game breaking and didn't cause any deaths so that's the main thing.
I played it in original mode, it also has adventure mode which makes it a bit easier.
The atmosphere alone is worth it and if you have a decent sound system or play it with headphones you're in for a treat.
I played both docked and handheld and found it to play fine, I'm not fussy though.
I'd still recommend it to anyone interested.

Finished Ghost Song, absolutely loved it.
Great atmosphere and one of my favourite Metroidvania's.

Started Phoenotopia Awakening, really enjoying it.

I also dusted off my Wii U so my daughter can play Wind Waker HD for the first time.

Have a great weekend everyone

Bought Cult of the lamb Deluxe Edition and haven't opened it yet.
Will have to change that.

I sold my SNES collection to get a new PS1 on release.
All cib, mint.
To this day I want to kick myself right in the.....you get the point.

I have kept every game and console since and have actually added to my collections.

I have a full Pal N64 collection, all mint, all complete, some of my N64 games:

Kids love playing them and they can sell them for stupid $$$ to help them when they're older.

In the meantime we get to enjoy the full N64 experience.

Finished The Guise and Ori Will of the Wisps.
2 great Metroidvania's.
Going from one Metroidvania to another.

Started Ghost Song, really enjoying the slower pace from the last few Metroidvania's I've played lately.

Have a great weekend everyone.

Just finished both Momodora and Minoria, really enjoyed both.
Also finally beat Salt and Sanctuary
I enjoyed it but won't be rushing back for more pain in a hurry.
Started The Guise
Another great Metroidvania, think Hollow Knight meets Tim Burton.
Highly recommend this hidden gem.

Also still plodding along in Totk.

Have a great weekend everyone

Skautfold Bloody Pack, Vernal Edge, Elderand and Blasphemous 2 for me.
Oh and I also have Haiku the Robot coming from Super Rare.

Good time for us Metroidvania fans that collect physical versions.

I have a full complete in box N64 collection (245+) which as you could imagine takes up a lot of space
I have half stored in glass cabinets to show and play (in box protectors) and half in a massive box stored away.
I rotate my collection on what I'm playing or plan on playing as needed.
I also have 80+ Wii U games, 60+ GameCube games, 70+ Wii Games, 50+ PS4 games and 60+ 360 games all on shelves including my fast growing Switch collection.
It keeps me busy.
Oh, and yes, I have a stupidly massive backlog

@beartown
Yes, excellent game.
I'm currently playing Salt and Sanctuary and just finished Super Daryl Deluxe which I highly recommend.
This year alone I've finished Afterimage, Outbuddies DX, Aeterna Noctis, Souldiers, Ender Lillies, Mummy Demastered, Astronite and Haak which I enjoyed.
I've also pre-ordered physical copies of Elderand, Vernal Edge, Haiku the Robot, Wife Quest and Ghost Song.
So yes, I like Metroidvania's 😁

@Yalloo
Compared to other Metroidvania's it is very rail roaded.
Not once did I feel lost like you do in a lot of Metroidvania's, one of the whole reasons you need to explore.
I felt like I was being pointed in a certain direction through the whole game.
Sure you can traverse from your one side to the other but I didn't feel like I wanted or needed to.
Glad you enjoyed it.
I didn't.
I like it but I wasn't the best in the genre that's for sure.

@beartown
I feel the same.
I was super excited to finally get another Metroid game but I really didn't enjoy this game.
I own nearly all the Metroidvania's on Switch and I think Hollow Knight and a few others are a much better game.
Dread felt too linear and railroaded compared to others in the franchise imo.
I think Indies have done a better job on Switch in regards to MV games.
I'm glad others enjoyed it but I'll wait for Metroid Prime for my Metroid fix

Blasphemous 2 for blasphemy collection.
Also picking up Ghost Song physical on the 8th.

I've submitted a few rare console updates to their site.
It is a great site and their discord is excellent.

I'll add.....
Afterimage, Salt and Sanctuary, Haak, Aeterna Noctis, Super Daryl Deluxe to the list

I have nearly all those games on the list and I wouldn't consider Narita Boy a Metroidvania, it's a great game but not really a Metroidvania.

Still playing Salt and Sanctuary.
Enjoying it but man can it be brutal.

Also downloaded Momodora Reverie Under the Moonlight and Minoria whilst on sale.

So I'll play either Infernax, Phoenotopia Awakening, Momodora or Minoria next.

I also pre-ordered Haiku the Robot, Vernal Edge, Skautfold Bloody Pack, Ghost Song and Elderand physical copies as well.
Great time to be a Metroidvania fan.

Have a great weekend everyone

As us Aussies would say......Yeeeeahh, naaahhhh.

I'll stick to Final Vendetta and Fight n Rage.

Just finished Ender Lillies, great game.

Started Salt and Sanctuary, tough as nails but I'm really enjoying it.

Still plodding along in Totk.
Have a great weekend everyone.

Please, please release a physical copy.

@Friendly
Have you tried Afterimage?
I've put in over 70 hours into it and love it.
The art is amazing.
Recommended if you haven't.

OMG Guys, I have been waiting for a Metroidvania with pixel art because that is my jam 😁

I enjoy them more than most anything else.
Physical copy to go alongside all the others in my collection please.

I have got 5 out of the 10 endings in Afterimage, so I'm going to have a break as I have put in over 70+ hours into it and got to level 80. Obviously I love the game, one of my favourite Metroidvania's.

Moved onto Ender Lillies, absolutely loving this as well, another great MV.

Still plodding along with Totk with the family which is always good.

Just finished my first playthrough of Detroit Become Human, awesome game, can't wait to go through it again to open up different outcomes.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone.

Can't wait.
Keep them coming

Playing Afterimage, this game is art in motion.
Great game so far.
Also playing Totk, moving along at a snails pace, the way it should be.

Finished Battle Princess Madelyn, enjoyed it.

Hope you all have a great weekend.

Please Nintendo, what a load of rubbish.
While you're there ignoring F Zero, Waverace and 1080 I'm going to sit here and ignore your excuse.
I would buy a remake of F Zero X, Waverace or 1080 in a heartbeat.

You're talking about releasing a game on one of the most popular consoles ever yet you can't see it making money?

Yeah ok.

Finished Haak, great Metroidvania.
Over halfway through the massive and excellent Aeterna Noctis, this game is unforgiving but so addictive.
Started the beautiful Afterimage, such a great game, loving the backlog I've got at the moment.

Still going through Totk.

Have a great weekend everyone.

I got the Gold Edition for cheap so more content for free is fine by me.
Especially when the base game is so good anyway.
Bonus is still a bonus.

I'd prefer games specifically made with the Switch in mind from the start instead of a mainline game reduced to fit.
CoD Big Red One or something along those lines would be better imo.
That's just me.

Just about finished playing Haak, an excellent Metroidvania game that I recommend.
Still plugging away at the massive and awesome Aeterna Noctis.
Totk is still moving along nicely.
If I finish Haak I might start either Ender Lillies, Phoenotopia Awakening or Salt and Sanctuary.

Have a great weekend everyone.

I'll grab a physical copy to go alongside Cuphead.
Looks pretty good

@Dm9982
Yeah, I grabbed the LRG CE.
It's in my backlog.
I also recently bought After Image and finished Astronite which is a great little MV.
My backlog is primarily MV games, love them

@Dm9982
Yeah definitely.
Like I said, it is a shame that they happen but thankfully the games is so good that it makes them bearable.
We shouldn't have to and it's a real shame that they exist at all but persevere amd push through because it really is one of the better ones out there.

@Dm9982
Yeah, I still had a few crashes but no where near as bad as it originally did thankfully.
Still annoying as the game is so good, shame but I got to the end and overall, even with the crashes I encountered it was still worth it.
One of the best ones I've played.

I have the double pack pre-ordered as even though this site gave it a bad score I never really take reviews into account until I play the game myself
2 games for the price of one on the one cart isn't exactly terrible either.
I love MV games and recently finished Souldiers (excellent game), and I am over halfway through Aeterna Noctis (excellent game even though NL didn't rate it very highly btw) and also halfway through the excellent Haak.
Still looking forward to playing this for myself.

Can't wait
Bought the Gold Edition at launch on sale for a bargain and have very much enjoyed it so far.
More content is always welcome

About 60% of the way through Aeterna Noctis, loving it.
Also started Haak, another great Metroidvania, excellent so far.

Still playing Totk in between as well.
Good time to be a gamer and a Metroidvania fan, I have so many to play that my backlog is a Metroidvania.
So much backtracking and choices that I get lost 😁

Have a great weekend everyone.

If you bought every Switch game released so far then you have more dollars than sense - some random on the interwebs.
😁

The Last Faith looks really good, Blasphemous 2 and this, thank you very much.
Also, I like the look of Laika, count me in.

I'm currently playing Aeterna Noctis and just finished Souldiers now those games are hard.
I play Totk for a more relaxing pace, it isn't a hard game compared to others I'm currently playing.

Can't wait, will be picking up the physical as soon as it drops.

Awesome.
I picked up the Signature Edition from Pix N Love and still haven't played it yet.
Will have to change that.

I'll bite once it is on sale.
I love Metroidvania games and I've recently just finished the excellent Astronite and started the equally brilliant Aeterna Noctis.
Keep them coming.

Nothing can dethrone Totk or
The One True King.

Up, up down, down, left, right, left, right,B, A.

Ahh, the good old days when even the cheat codes were easier.😁

I voted for Europe.
I have 2 copies of this game for my Cube.
One still brand new and sealed and one I opened and played.
Love this game.

I've used the duplication glitch for diamonds and zonaite but that's it.

I'll duplicate a lot more then update, it's been a handy little glitch I gotta admit.

Skul The Hero Slayer

This should definitely be on the list but NL doesn't even acknowledge it exists.

Great game in the same mould as Dead Cells, it even has The Prisoner as a playable character!

Awesome.
I've held off for the physical copy which the developer has just announced.

Looking forward to playing another Metroidvania, I can't get enough of them.
My Switch is my go to Metroidvania Machine, so many great titles.

I really enjoyed both.
Still playing this in between Totk and Souldiers.
Glad I got the Gold Edition for all the extra goodies.
Can't wait for the new stuff.

Totk or Torture of the Koroks 😁
In between making stupid stuff and exploring new ways of destroying things I'm also playing Souldiers, which is an awesome Metroidvania.
Have a great weekend everyone.
