Doom Eternal would be great to have on Switch. I, for one, would almost rather have a new Quake game with a great single-player campaign.

@Dom his name is Eric CHAHI, not Eric Crahi.

I will also purchase this the second it shows up (although I will always refer to it by its NA release name Out Of This World).

We have a building principal who is very supportive of trying new things to get kids engaged. He purchased a Nintendo Switch and three of each Kit. He only asked that the kids themselves give him a daily update with their progress which they have been filming with the Raberry Pi they had just programmed for the event. We are also going to add some progress videos to our school website. Trust me, the kids are currently very excited but, like you are wondering, it will be interesting to see how long the excitement holds on. That is why we are having them essentially try to make the standard constructions with different types of material besides the cardboard.

I already implemented Labo into my 6th-8th grade STEM classes yesterday in the US. My kids will be learning to remake the same designs with sturdier materials, 3D printing parts, and trying to come up with their own designs. I have never seen them more excited for ANYTHING in the classroom!

Plug and play third party accessories have always been junk, in my opinion, anyway. Nearly every third party controller, cable, power supply, etc. that I've ever owned since the days of the Atari 2600 have felt like garbage or eventually failed. The only official piece of hardware I've ever owned that failed were the three Xbox 360's that red-ringed on me that I foolishly purchased from Microsoft.

I would have Axiom Verge in my top 3.

I’ve never had a chance to play this version of Punchout!!
On a side note, is Breath of the Wild the only (proper) Zelda game Koji Kondo wasn’t involved in?

My dreams would be answered if someone made JoyCons for ACTUAL ADULT SIZED HANDS.

So happy I never bought the digital version of this.

@MellowMonster Their website shows "It will be available on Friday, March 30th, 2018 at 10 AM Eastern Time."

So, it appears that the Switch version is an OPEN PRE-ORDER and is not actually limited. They are using this game to gauge interest in the Switch platform so they can produce relatively accurate numbers for future Switch games.

I believe I own this on 8 different platforms. Looks like I'll be adding a 9th when it releases on Switch!

@AtlanteanMan I can't agree enough with you.

Play-Asia has it up for pre-order as well.

So...anyone have any idea how and when to pre-order it?

**Sarcasm on**
Great! Now I can turn my $200 Super NT into my $80 SNES Classic.
**Sarcasm off**

All I want are Mega Man X, X2, and X3.

I would love some "XL" or "Pro" Joy-cons since my hands are too big to actually use the Switch comfortably in handheld mode.

@Shiryu It's Rad Racer

Metroid Dread, perhaps??

Dang it. I guess I'll have to choose from the other 273 devices that I already have that are capable of playing Netflix 🙄

"Where should I start if I have absolutely ZERO coding experience?" has been a question I've pondered for quite a few years. Maybe this is the answer?

I never could get into any of the Smash Bros. games. I tried every one of them but they all just seemed clunky and unintuitive to me.

Take from this what you wish, but I say it with a slightly guilty conscience. I coach athletics...football, basketball, track & field, and baseball. Watch the way fans in a crowd react to a play or a call from an official that they disagree with. Watch the way coaches on the sideline act when they feel a referee has missed or made a bad call. Watch how soccer/football/basketball/baseball/etc. players act out when calls don’t go their way or even when they are flopping to get a call. What about riots when someone’s team loses?

People call sports fans, coaches, and players/athletes “passionate” when we should all really look at it for what it is a large majority of the time = disturbing. Try to act that way in any other setting. Act that way ALL of the time in another setting...professional, social, in a military setting, as a babysitter, etc., etc., etc. What would be considered acceptable behavior or acceptable reactions when things don’t go your way at work, in school, at your grandparents’ house, in church, and so on?

I see frightening things on an almost daily basis as a coach and I make a very concerted effort to disallow my athletes from having ANY disrespectful or violently emotional reactions by modeling controlled behavior myself. Sometimes I feel like the culture of sports is too much and out of control, but I still want to make a difference. I try. I try my hardest, but the fight is getting more and more difficult in recent years. There is more finger point, more social media vitriol, more disrespectful comments from parents, kids, even people I don’t know. The strangest thing is, even when we are successful, people are still overreacting irrationally. Again, I find it...disturbing.

Saying video game addiction is a mental illness is sad. Although I agree that we should all turn off the games, go outside, and get some fresh air from time to time, I’m no authority on the subject. I will say one last thing, however.

Does the type of behavior in athletics seem a little too close to home? Was that type of general behavior something that was as prevalent before online gaming became the norm (perhaps forced upon us??)? It’s all a reflection of the world we live in, but man...typical behavior seems like it’s getting more and more out of control.

Goonies II ReBirth

I would pay a king's ransom for that!

As quoted from the article: "The game was also tested and it is fully working on real hardware if you fancy giving that a try."

Is anyone nice enough to explain this little tidbit?

One thing that I think industry presictors failed to foresee when saying console gaming was going by the wayside is...

...smartphone and tablet fatigue. Many, many people I talk to simply don’t want to continuously upgrade, have turned their iPads/tablets into coffee table music players, and generally don’t find the next model to be necessary and exciting and are becoming more apathetic about playing games or whatever on those devices.

Console gaming, on the other hand...

Will the SNES30 (previous model) work with the SNES Classic?
Also, can a Dual Shock 4 be used with the SNES Classic?

Slain!!!! I don't care what the reviews say, I enjoy this game. I would also go for 80's Overdrive if it were on Switch. I don't even want to touch my 3DS anymore.

I would personally give it a 7/10 or somewhere close to that. To me, it's better than the reviewer leads on. Yes, it's difficult, but learn to adapt to the quirks (which is required in almost EVERY GAME) and you'll have fun with it.

The soundtrack, atmosphere, and character designs are the best qualities of the game. Versatility in controls is a little ho-hum, but it’s still just good old fashioned fun to play. for those who complain about the brutally hard difficulty, to me it feels...nostalgic? Reminds of my childhood when games made you earn success.

His prediction basically went “If it starts off good it will do good. If it starts bad it will do bad.” Not really a prediction. That’s the equivalent of saying “If it’s extremely hot today, I’ll be hot. If it’s extremely cold today, I’ll be cold.”

I wonder what Michael Pachter has to say about this 🙄

So...basically...it's a soccer game?

Where is the list I've heard of that has the NeoGeo releases for the next few weeks? I'd like to know if I need I should buy this or keep my current eShop balance to get something better coming up.

For the Wolf Link Amiibo (from Gamefaqs):
Start new game in TP. Save immediately. Quit to Wii U menu. Boot up the game. Should see the Amiibo logo on the title screen.

Press start and it should ask for you to register your Amiibo ( may have to erase the amiibo data first ). Do that and once done quit the game and boot up BotW. Scan the wolf link amiibo.

He now has 20 hearts.

Just give me some PRO JOYCONs that are ergonomical and feel like the grips on a real controller. I essentially can’t even use the Switch in handheld mode because it’s just too small, the joycons are too flat, and the button/stick placement is just all wrong for large hands.

I had this and the SNES visual compendiums both preordered through Amazon.com and both orders were cancelled.

Thank goodness this isn't going the Limited Run Games route. That has to be one of the most stressful shopping experiences I've ever had just to buy a physical copy of a game.

@Hrimfaksi I just want you to know I’m buying Doom on Switch because I want to. Your own personal reasoning doesn’t apply to me.

Let me give my top 5 a try:

1. Thimbleweed Park
2. Thimbleweed Park
3. Thimbleweed Park
4. Thimbleweed Park
5. Thimbleweed Park

Just beat this without losing a life and not using the rewind feature once on my SNES Classic. I guess I don't understand why everyone feels this game is so difficult.

It needs Hagane and Rendering Rangers.

Just give me Hagane.

I generally don’t like the way these sound. I guess my nostalgia takes over and makes me feel like it’s somehow blasphemous.

I just call it the Super Nintendo, since that’s what it actually says on the hardware. No need to add the Entertainment System part as that’s relatively useless, in my opinion.

I guess I don’t understand. Is the D2 thing the new logo or the old logo. If it’s the new one, what did the old one look like? If it’s the old one, what does the new one look like? To me, the D2 looks cheap and lazy. I simple comparison shot would have been extremely useful to this article.

@Shiryu I like it too. I returned me to a time in my childhood when I actually had to work to get better at games.

Any idea when I can purchase issue 172?
