Real talk I went back and forth about whether I should buy an Xbox One just for this game, so this is a nice surprise for me being a lifelong Contra fan.
Nintendo is getting serious about the Switch fighting game library compared to the Wii U; definitely will pick this up for the 4th time (PS3, PS4, Vita cross buy).
I'd rather have a complete Virtual Console (Wii and Wii U). Even better, the option of downloading previously purchased games for FREE based on your Account Activity.
In high school a friend let me borrow his copy of Golden Sun and as soon as I started playing, I was hooked. Been a fan of the series ever since.
It's a shame there's no Golden Sun 4 in the foreseeable future; even more so that not one character made it in Smash as a fighter (I thought maybe Sveta from Dark Dawn).
@Dr_Corndog That gives me a slight pause too; even if I have a copy of the DS original to play on 3DS. This is my all-time favorite DS game and I'd like to see how it plays on the Switch. That price though...
This is great and all but I hope it's leads to something playable like Super Princess Peach 2 or a game just about Bowser (think Inside Story minus Mario Bros.).

Re: BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle 2.0 Update Adding Nine DLC Fighters This November
Homura was in Nitroplus Blasterz so it's not unusual for Senran Kagura characters to appear in fighting games.
Re: Nintendo Releases Statement About Switch Joy-Con Drift Issue
"Recent" reports?! LOL
Re: Nintendo Announces New Joy-Con Colours Coming In October
Blue + Red + Orange + Purple = Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Re: Use Fortnite Chat In Docked Mode With This Officially Licensed Switch Pad
Gotta love how the price is the same as their regular Faceoff controllers.

My wallet is ready.
Re: Soapbox: The Nintendo Switch Lite Has The One Thing I've Been Waiting For All This Time
You're speaking my language.
Re: River City Girls Brings Classic Beat 'Em Up Action To Switch This September
WayForward = high quality = must buy for me. Maybe Shantae will be a DLC character?
Re: Ghostbusters: The Video Game Remastered Will Be A GameStop Exclusive In The United States
Nice. I skipped the original in 2009, so this will be a nice addition to my Switch library.
Re: Sony Doesn't See Nintendo As A Major Rival, More Worried About Microsoft Next Generation
No plans to support indies? Well, that won't end well...

@Zyph Same.
Re: NBA 2K19 Is On Sale For $3 On The North American Switch eShop
I used Redeem Coins to get this for free. Steal!
Re: Feature: Dormant Nintendo Franchises We'd Like To See Return On Switch
You guys mentioned Golden Sun, so I'm good.
Re: Review: Persona Q2: New Cinema Labyrinth - The Last Picture Show
I hope the reviewer was joking about the complaint of the lack of the 3D effect - it's about as relevant to Nintendo as the Miiverse.
Re: Looks Like Ubisoft's Child Of Light Isn't Getting A Sequel After All
It's something I need to go back to and complete.
Re: Sonic The Hedgehog Movie Gets Its First Official Trailer, And It's Definitely Something
Not as bad as I'd thought it'd be.
Re: Rumour: "Cheaper Version Of The Switch" Expected To Launch By The End Of June
I hope those mock ups are accurate with an official D-Pad; makes playing BBTAG easier.
Re: Remarkable Commodore 64 Port Of Super Mario Bros. Attracts Nintendo's Watchful Eye
Pretty impressive.
Re: Angry Video Game Nerd I & II Deluxe Now Officially Confirmed For Switch
Finally! Shame that the 2nd will never be on Wii U, but this bundle is day one purchase for me.
Re: Cuphead Is Coming To Nintendo Switch, Along With Xbox Achievements
Real talk I went back and forth about whether I should buy an Xbox One just for this game, so this is a nice surprise for me being a lifelong Contra fan.
Re: Talking Point: Could Nintendo Ditch Physical Media With A 'Switch Lite?'
I'm not sure. I do retail and digital on my Vita, but I would go all-digital with the recently announced 1TB micro SD card on Switch.
Re: N64 Classics Turok And Turok 2 Are Headed To Nintendo Switch
Please tell me they're remastered...
Edit: NVM. An earlier comment said it would be. That's cool and surprising since it's not a Nintendo first party game being remastered.
Re: Random: Soulja Boy Raps About Zelda, Doesn't Know What A Rupee Is
@Quarth You said it.
Re: Bandai Namco Ending Online Service For Wii U Exclusive Lost Reavers On 30th May
Guess I better jump on before it ends.
Re: 1TB Micro SD Cards Are About To Hit Stores, Perfect For Your Switch Storage Woes
No. 400GB is fine since I still own a Wii U, and don't need to buy ports.
Re: Cheeky Brawler Skullgirls 2nd Encore Lands On Switch This Spring
Nintendo is getting serious about the Switch fighting game library compared to the Wii U; definitely will pick this up for the 4th time (PS3, PS4, Vita cross buy).

I'm just waiting for Streets of Rage 4.
Re: Piranha Plant Will Become Available In Smash Bros. Ultimate “Around” February
@CurryPowderKeg79 Classic movie
Re: Looking For A Brand New Wii U? That'll Be $800 Please
I'm never getting rid of my Wii U, as I still have tons of games to beat in my library. Not to mention that it's fun to play.
Re: Gaming Analysts Predict 'Switch Pro' And 'Switch Lite' Revisions For 2019
I'd definitely buy a Switch lite; I'd treat it as a Vita 2.0.
Re: Feature: Things We Wish Nintendo Would Do In 2019
Golden Sun 4. That's all I want. Need folders like on Wii U.
Re: Gallery: There’s No Need To Bash These New Streets Of Rage 4 Screenshots
I really hope it has online multiplayer; Double Dragon IV doesn't and I barely play it.
Re: Feature: The Final Wii U Games We'd Like To See On Switch In 2019
I'd rather have a complete Virtual Console (Wii and Wii U). Even better, the option of downloading previously purchased games for FREE based on your Account Activity.
Re: Video: This Delightful Snow Scene Concept Has Us Desperate For A Paper Ice Climbers Game
Never played Ice Climbers much but I wouldn't mind a new Paper Mario (or Luigi or Peach or Bowser) game on the Switch.
Re: Video: Sonic Mania Adventures Animation Returns For A Holiday Special
Always a pleasure to see the series in an animated format; even better that it stars Amy.
Re: Fire Emblem Heroes Experiences Decline In Player Spending During The Month Of November
I'm not spending any money if I don't get the character(s) I want; I can just grind for Orbs.
Re: Rumour: Joker In Smash Bros. Ultimate Triggers Speculation That Persona 5 Is Coming To Switch
@readyletsgo PS3 version runs fine, just takes a few more seconds to load at times; the digital version anyway.
Re: Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order Arrives Exclusively On Nintendo Switch In 2019
@Zeta Agreed.
Re: Deals: Black Friday 2018 Is The Best Time To Pick Up A 400GB Micro SD Card For Your Nintendo Switch
Placed an order. And done with BF shopping!
Re: Dev Behind Darksiders II For Wii U Worked On An E3 Demo Nintendo Never Showed
I have both on the U; that sucks for the devs but at least Nintendo learned to work with 3rd parties much better.
Re: Battle Princess Madelyn Fights Its Way To Switch On 6th December, Wii U Version Coming Next Year
@TheGhostWhoWalks I'm double dipping and getting both versions.
Re: Isaac Might Not Be Playable In Smash Ultimate, But Fans Spread The Love With #GoldenSunday Messages
In high school a friend let me borrow his copy of Golden Sun and as soon as I started playing, I was hooked. Been a fan of the series ever since.
It's a shame there's no Golden Sun 4 in the foreseeable future; even more so that not one character made it in Smash as a fighter (I thought maybe Sveta from Dark Dawn).
Re: The Wii U Is Getting Another Exclusive Game This Year
Looks interesting. Purchase from me.
Re: Random: Fans Are Having Too Much Fun With The Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Death Beams
Isaac would've saved them all...
Re: Review: Starlink: Battle For Atlas - A Shining Example Of Open World Star Fox Done Right
Oh I didn't know it was one of those things like Skylanders; I'll have to pass then.
Re: Review: The World Ends With You: Final Remix - A Stylish Reimagining Of The DS Cult Classic
@Dr_Corndog You'd probably be better off if you can't get used to the Switch controls.
Re: Zerodiv Bringing Sengoku Cannon To Switch eShop Next Week
@Jokerwolf That thumbnail...
Re: Review: The World Ends With You: Final Remix - A Stylish Reimagining Of The DS Cult Classic
@Dr_Corndog That gives me a slight pause too; even if I have a copy of the DS original to play on 3DS. This is my all-time favorite DS game and I'd like to see how it plays on the Switch. That price though...
Re: Nintendo Download: 11th October (North America)
What?! A new Wii U game?
Re: Super Mario Odyssey Art Book Reveals "Official Bowsette" Concept Existed Long Before The Fan-Made One
Hey NL, y'all need to let this go and let it fade out naturally.
Re: Bowsette Now Has Her Own Online Petition And A Fan Gathering Taking Place In Japan
This is great and all but I hope it's leads to something playable like Super Princess Peach 2 or a game just about Bowser (think Inside Story minus Mario Bros.).
