I thought 'Twice for Nintendo Switch' was a reference to the Wii U (and now 3DS) ports.

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.

This looks really promising. The art style looks great. However, the main character looks like he was copied from Scribblenauts.

I watched the trailer and thought it looked like Teslagrad crossed with Super Meat Boy. I then read the same assessment in the article.

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.

Sounds great! Now I have to finish DQXIS.

I really like the art style. Nice animation, too. I'll keep an eye out for this one.

I would really like to play the Cruis'n (and Rush) games on Switch.

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.

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...

Where's Ryan Reynolds?

I keep hoping for an Arcade Archives release of Gyruss.

2 WARPS TO NEPTUNE

Rez would be great on Switch. Plug in the headphones and feel the controllers pulse to the beat!

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.

Maybe they can put Donkey Kong on a jet ski and revive Wave Race simultaneously.

EA: Save the date.
Switch owners: Why?

I forgot about the Pippin.

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.

Both games are available physically on one cartridge and is not a limited run. And a 9! I'm definitely interested.

The pictures are pixelated!

@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.

This is the price point Miitopia should have been released at.

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.

@AndyC_MK I didn't see Mega Man 11 on this list either.

I played the demo and decided that there is no way I am going to buy this for $50. Those miis are impressive, though.

@DoomTurtle I was going to say the same thing; you beat me to it. "I like money." - Mr. Krabs

Is this Spongebob's answer to Overcooked?

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.

@RupeeClock Thank you; I'll be sure to check it out.

Is the physical copy a limited run?

This looks promising. My ever-expanding wishlist is exceeding my budget.

Apparently, gamers like Mario more than Nintendo does.

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].

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.

I'm adding this to my wishlist now. Thanks for the review.

Thanks for the review. I'll wait for a deep discount.

I rather enjoy the chill lo-fi beats to defeat the dark lord to.

@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.

@Dang69 That's exactly what I was trying to point out. It was the third comment.

They could put Tower Defense on.Switch.

The option to exchange tickets for missed special event themes has been available for some time. This update is adding the reverse: you can now exchange your special event themes for tickets, according to the Feature section of the release notes.

I just downloaded this over the weekend during the latest sale. Sadly, my budget trumps my desire for a physical copy.

None of the Mother/Earthbound games are on Switch right now.

How is a game called Clive 'N' Wrench not a Ratchet & Clank clone? Having said that, this looks like it could be a good 3D-style platformer. However, I would like a good Ratchet & Clank clone for Switch since Sony would never share its property with Nintendo.

@mattmayatt I would love to see F-Zero, Wave Race, and Pilotwings games on Switch. Especially Wave Race. I really enjoyed the N64 original plus this could be a graphical showpiece for Switch. I'd like to see the water and lighting effects they'd come up with for an original Switch Wave Race.

If you sleep this long, isn't it actually considered a coma?
