Two Point Hospital might still be on sale on the eshop. Three days ago, I got the Jumbo Upgrade DLC, which was also on sale. I look forward to jumping back into the game and checking it out. I enjoy the puns (such as Mock Star, with Freddie Mercury wannabes strutting around, and Lightheadedness, whose sufferers have light bulb heads) and general sense of humor (if a patient dies, the ghost wanders around but a properly-skilled janitor can vacuum it up Luigi style). I am definitely intersted in this university-themed follow up.
I noticed that DLC for Overcooked 2 and Moving Out are also on sale. I already had the Overcooked 2 DLC but I got the Movers in Paradise DLC and Narita Boy, which I was pleasantly surprised at being on sale since it's a recent release.
Impossible Lair is generally accepted as the better of the two Yooka-Laylee games.
I already have Tony Hawk and Destroy All Humans on PS4 with no desire to double dip. As a retro gamer, I am excired to play Zombies Ate My Neighbors and Alex Kidd. This is the first I've heard about Fallen Knight, but the screenshot looks intriguing; I'd like to see more before committing. Game Builder Garage and Mario Golf go on my Eventually list, waiting for a Black Friday or Mario Day sale.
I passed on the mobile ports. I was disappointed that SE didn't port the NES versions to Switch instead. However, this looks much more appealing! I echo the comments requesting the first two games to be remade in this style and released to the West.
I played the demo and got tired of it after three levels. I decided that this game isn't for me. It's strange seeing an unknown developer's name in the game title. When do we see Shigeru Myamoto's Donkey Kong or Yuji Naka's Sonic the Hedgehog?
As a longtime gamer, I am rather forgiving of graphics on the Switch. I was happy to play Space Invaders and Asteroids; look how far we've come. Plus, I can play handheld.
Also, I remember the console wars of the 90's and marvel that I can play Mario, Sonic, and Crash Bandicoot games on my Nintendo system.
When Nintendo releases the Metroid Prime games for the Switch, it will officially be my favorite console. F Zero, and Wave Race would be nice too. And StarFox without gimmickry controls...
Lucasfilm Classic Games is $15 on the US eshop. If Limited Run releases a physical copy, it will probably cost $30 (using Star Wars: Republic Commandos as reference).
Edit: I was wrong; it's going to be $35 plus shipping. I'll probably wait for a sale on the eshop; I need to stretch my budget.
The tagline brought an image of a crossover that will never happen: Pocket Monster Hunter. Gather provisions and get ready to take down a giant Pikachu.
@TDRsuperstar2 I have the same concern. I buy all of the major Nintendo games physical. The minor ones, like The Stretchers and Good Job! tend to be digital only. Indie games I am split on. I prefer physical but, many times, the physical copy is at least twice the regular digital price. So, I often buy the digital when it goes on sale. Hollow Knight is a prime example: the physical copy sells for $35 at Best Buy; I bought the digital version on sale for $10.
I remember a print ad for the original SNES Flashback that said it was CD quality on a cartridge. I loved cinematic games like this one, Another World (aka Out of This World), and (to a lesser extent) Heart of Darkness. I had a hard time playing Fade to Black. I hope Flashback 2 is a return to 2D.
I'm still addicted to Grindstone; I just finished level 111 and I'm not done yet. I'm also playing Fez and Katana Zero for some faux retro gaming. I played Sonic the Hedgehog for some real retro gaming after watching the movie, which is currently included with Prime Video.
Clive 'N' Wrench has been on my radar far a while. I had not heard of the other two. I would get Gearshifters during a sale. Treasures of the Aegean is the real surprise. I loved Flashback and Another World/Out of This World; a game like those but smoother and in a comic book style is going to the top of my wishlist.
@popey1980 Contrary to what the article says, the release notes say you can get 30 tickets to "sell" a theme you have. I believe it costs 15 tickets to acquire a theme.

Last Stop looks intriguing.

You had me at Flower.
Re: Classic Arcade Game 'The Simpsons' Will Get A New Cabinet This Year
@kingbk I would definitely buy a Simpsons/X-Men game pack.
I wonder why this article is on Nintendo Life if it isn't being ported to a Nintendo system.
Re: Alfred Hitchcock – Vertigo Isn't A Trick Of The Mind, It's Out On Switch This Year
@LaytonPuzzle27 That's intriguing; Rear Window came to mind for me, as a point-and-click adventure game.
Re: Multiplayer Shooter Retrograde Arena Just Launched On Switch For Free
I'll check it out, but this reminds me that I would like a Geometry Wars game on Switch.
Re: Review: Wonder Boy: Asha In Monster World - A Fine Revival, Faithful To A Fault
@MontyCircus That's a really good point. I had already decided that, if I bought this game, I'd buy the physical version to get the original game.
Re: Review: Wonder Boy: Asha In Monster World - A Fine Revival, Faithful To A Fault
This review gives an 8 (Great) but IGN gave a 5 (Mediocre). Who do I believe?
Re: Ubisoft's E3 Conference Will Feature "A Few Surprises"
@CactusMan Beyond Good and Evil HD was on PS3, so it should be able to run on Switch.
I would really like to see a new Rayman game for Switch, even if Michel Ancel is sadly no longer involved.
Re: Random: 'Twice For Nintendo Switch' Twitter Trend Leaves News-Hungry Fans Disappointed
I thought 'Twice for Nintendo Switch' was a reference to the Wii U (and now 3DS) ports.
Re: Two Point Campus Appears On Microsoft Store, And It Looks Rather Bonkers
Two Point Hospital might still be on sale on the eshop. Three days ago, I got the Jumbo Upgrade DLC, which was also on sale. I look forward to jumping back into the game and checking it out.

Re: Team17 Switch Sale Slashes Game Prices By Up To 90% (North America)

Re: Ghibli-Inspired Puzzle-Platformer 'Out Of Line' Scores June Release Date On Switch
This looks really promising. The art style looks great. However, the main character looks like he was copied from Scribblenauts.
Re: Super Magbot Is A 'Magnetic Platformer' Out Soon On Switch, Demo Playable Now
I watched the trailer and thought it looked like Teslagrad crossed with Super Meat Boy. I then read the same assessment in the article.

Re: Moon Samurai Is A Stylish Action Game That's Heading To Switch
I really like the art style. Nice animation, too. I'll keep an eye out for this one.
Re: Cruis'n Blast Could Be Coming To Nintendo Switch
I would really like to play the Cruis'n (and Rush) games on Switch.
Re: Summer Game Fest To Kick Off With A 'Spectacular World Premiere Showcase'
I'll just wait for the Switch-related announcements to be posted here. There's no sense tempting myself with games for a system I can't afford.
Re: Review: Aerial_Knight's Never Yield - A Super Stylish Yet Straightforward Runner
I played the demo and got tired of it after three levels. I decided that this game isn't for me. It's strange seeing an unknown developer's name in the game title. When do we see Shigeru Myamoto's Donkey Kong or Yuji Naka's Sonic the Hedgehog?

Re: Review: Subnautica + Subnautica Below Zero Double Pack - An Accomplished Double Dive
Both games are available physically on one cartridge and is not a limited run. And a 9! I'm definitely interested.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (May 1st)
I'm still addicted to Grindstone; I just finished level 111 and I'm not done yet. I'm also playing Fez and Katana Zero for some faux retro gaming. I played Sonic the Hedgehog for some real retro gaming after watching the movie, which is currently included with Prime Video.
Re: Feature: Every Mega Man Game Ranked
@AndyC_MK I didn't see Mega Man 11 on this list either.
Re: Best Miitopia Miis - Access Keys For Zelda, Mario, Sonic And More
I played the demo and decided that there is no way I am going to buy this for $50. Those miis are impressive, though.

Re: Monster Hunter Rise Is About To Become Capcom's Best-Selling Single-Platform Game
Hopefully, this sends a message to other third party companies that good games designed for Switch will sell well. [I'm looking at you, EA].
Re: Talking Point: Do You Miss Instruction Manuals?
Instruction manuals were necessary in an age when games had no tutorials and the pause screen had no option to see controls.
Many instruction games thanked you for buying the game.
