This is the best Shantae game by far.
That 9/10 is very well deserved and I urge everyone that hasn't already played it, to really consider buying this little gem.

I love the looks of that Bowser one.
I might actually buy one because I still don't have a Pro Controller. Always thought they were too expensive. So yeah, these ones seem to be perfect for me.

But... why?

Yup, more search options would be very welcome.
Something like the Steam store would be ideal.

Awesome! This is one of my all time favorite video games.

So happy!

The onslaught at 0:54 looks really menacing.
I don't know if I have the guts to play this game to be honest...

This one looks really cool but tough as nails.
I'll be keeping an eye out for it.

This one looks cool. One of the few highlights from today's Nindies Showcase in my opinion.

This is just another way of saying: "please give me more money".

@Anti-Matter
Well, Yasuhiro Wada didn't work on the last couple of Harvest Moon games. Maybe that's one of the reasons why you were turned off by it?

@Anti-Matter
I saw these screens and instantly thought of you. This seems right up your alley.

Either Team Cherry wasn't able to finish a new trailer in time for today's presentation or Nintendo wants to focus on Nindies that are coming out real soon and Hollow Knight's release is just too far off.

This looks absolutely horrendous!
Thanks, but no thanks.

I love how they're trying to sell DK as a brutally tough platformer in this video.

Announcements of Hyper Light Drifter, CrossCode and Tom Happ's second game
Release dates for Indivisible, Dragon: Marked for Death, Hollow Knight and King of Cards

For me pressing all those buttons is a lot more taxing to my hands than controlling the joystick or d-pad. This is mostly felt by playing fighting games and those classic schmups where you needed to press the attack button every time for each shot. Can you imagine pressing that button a thousand times in a single playthrough with your left hand? I know I wouldn't be able to do it.

So yeah, I still believe that's the reason why the joystick is on the left.

@SwitchVogel
Thank you!

Ehm... I don't see any video here...

Edit: it's been fixed.

There are like 100 video game characters I'd choose before Goku. I love the guy, but he's not a video game character.

@Bunkerneath
Yeah, I don't think Nintendo will let this one pass.
Chances of seeing this in actual stores seem really low to me.

@mailman Excellent question! I don't have one of those, just a regular Sandisk one. To be fair though: the officially licensed ones are also made by Sandisk. There's nothing different or special about them.

Yay! Nindies are the best!

I'm hoping for release dates for King of Cards and Hollow Knight.
New games I want to see:
CrossCode, Hyper Light Drifter, A new Shantae, Tom Happ's second game, Bastion, Inside and Limbo

@Eef Fair enough.

This is why I only buy officially licensed Nintendo products.
Always done so, forever will.

It certainly looks lovely but one thing that apprehends me from buying games like this anymore is the lack of replay value. Once you know how to solve the puzzles, the entire point of the game looses its purpose in my opinion. I always like the first run through such games, but I can never bring myself to play them a second time.

A 2D side scrolling run 'n gun?
OK, I'm game.

Is it 1st April already?

@beazlen1 I personally got into programming at the age of 9 or 10 with the game I posted earlier on this message board. I think that's generally the age when kids start to get interested in science and try to figure out for themselves how everything works.

The Times They Are A-Changin'

And I don't think I like it.

I used to own something called a programming board as a kid and I loved to create little games on it. Labo takes this to the next level and I'm very happy Nintendo is doing this. Every young mind that gets interested in programming this way is a win.

Looks kinda heavy to play in handheld mode.
Also, I have a hard time trusting 3rd party manufacturers when it comes to batteries and charging stations for some reason.
It's one of the most critical aspects of the Switch and I don't want to take the risk of damaging my beloved console.

Hamster has to make a lot of money from all these excellent ports.
Good for them! And ultimately good for us as well of course.
