I tried to play Earthbound a few times but could never get into it. With my current backlog, it's likely I won't boot this up any time soon. I'm happy the fans of the game have this however.
@Bearzilla823 here in the U.S. at least MK8 can be bought at $50, it's on sale right now at most big retailers. All of the announced DLC is $25. $75 for the complete package. I'm buying it.
I played MK8 to shreds on the WiiU and insisted I would not double dip on the Switch. But this DLC changes my approach. 48 new tracks running through the end of 2023 gives me the incentive I was looking for to jump back in. I'm hoping Nintendo will sprinkle in a handful of new drivers too.
I think the Switch can surpass the DS but it's up to Nintendo. Will they continue to support the system 2 years down the road, or will they be promoting the next console. I think the Switch has the legs to do it. Nintendo could release a few new color variations and sales would spike, let alone a price drop and great new titles (I'm talking to you Retro Studios lol ).
Dying light is my favorite port this year. My only gripe is that the price dropped quickly after releasing at $50, aka the price I paid. Still a lot of fun and content for the cost though.
I love my switch but I feel the prices for the systems is too high. Taking $50 off each of these would be more "fair" (for lack of a better word ). But the Switch in all its forms is selling really well at the prices they are at, and obviously Nintendo is in no hurry to change that.
I wanted to like PN03 but the basic and repetitive environment made the game boring imo. Dodging bullets while dancing to techno is always cool though.
They will likely patch up a lot of issues but as the article states, it should not have been released in this condition. The Switch can handle much more.
Nintendo could port the game to the Switch, charge $30 and make a small fortune. Plus it's highly demanded from fans, along with other Gamecube classics.
Metroid Prime was my most memorable playthrough of the series. It gets my top spot. Retro Studios absolutely nailed the transition from 2d. In comparison, there hasn't been a 3d Castlevania that even comes close its quality

Congratulations to the Monster Hunter Rise team. It's a great game that deserves this recognition. Bring on Sunbreak and happy hunting to all.
Re: Soapbox: Dear Konami, Please Do Something Decent With Castlevania
All I want from Castlevania is the DS collection. Bloodstained is the "new" Castlevania we need, and I'm happy with that.
Re: Metroid Dread Is About To Become The Best-Selling Game In The Series
I can't think of a better way to celebrate the occasion than having the Prime series remastered on the Switch.
Re: Monster Hunter Rise Has A Collab With Universal Studios Japan, As Sunbreak Teases Continue
The more MHR content the better. I likely won't wear the layered armor but will certainly add it to the collection

The Dead Space trilogy would be an instant buy from me.

Re: Nintendo Kicks Off Some Tasty Switch eShop New Year Sales (North America)
Red Faction for $3 is nice

Re: Video: Side-By-Side Comparison Of Pokémon's Diamond And Pearl Remakes Running On Every Switch
I'm very happy with my Lite. Sure I'd prefer a bigger and better screen but am relieved that I don't have to be concerned with the joy con issues.
Re: Random: Ever Wondered What Zelda: Breath Of The Wild Looks Like Without Cel-Shading?
Like Wind Waker before it, BOTW's artistic design will age flawlessly. Yay for cel shading as these character models in the article look lifeless.
Re: Shovel Knight's Brand New Puzzle Game Launches On The Switch eShop Next Month
At first it looks like a basic puzzler but by the end of trailer I had no idea what was happening. Looks awesome
Re: Talking Point: 5 Reasons That Nintendo Switch Is Still A Hot Product

Re: Rockstar Apologises For GTA Trilogy Issues, First Of Multiple Updates Due In 'Coming Days'
@GannonBanned just ignore that guy. That profile was made yesterday and he's clearly here just to irritate people.
Re: Rockstar Apologises For GTA Trilogy Issues, First Of Multiple Updates Due In 'Coming Days'
Rockstar has a lot of work to do for me to consider buying this. Patched up very well and a good price cut will gain my interest.
Re: Feature: 14 Wii Games That Deserve Switch Ports
I'm here to make sure Excitebots made the list. That game is tons of fun and online multi-player would be a blast

Lots of Dying Light and some Tetris 99

Aiming to finish Dread along with some Tetris 99

Re: Former King Of Kong Billy Mitchell Is Finally Taking Twin Galaxies To Court
@MindfulGamer fr.I started going bald in my mid-twenties. Mid-lifers with a full head of hair mystify me.
Re: Former King Of Kong Billy Mitchell Is Finally Taking Twin Galaxies To Court
What are the damages that he is suing for? Monetary loss? Emotional distress? Or is this just an ego trip?
Re: Random: Players Are Already Scarily Good At Controlling Samus In Metroid Dread
I'd love to see a boss rush mode with a fully upgraded Samus. I think the game is amazing but lacking a little on content.
Re: Metroid Dread Sparks Improved Sales For Past Games In The Series
The time has come for a Zero Mission, Super Metroid and Fusion triple pack on the Switch eshop.
Re: Soapbox: Paper Mario: TTYD Is 17 Years Old Today, But It's Still A Masterpiece

Re: Review: Metroid Dread - Quite Possibly The Best Metroid Game Ever Made
I'm not surprised by the score but rather relieved. The hype for Friday is real. LFG
Re: Soapbox: 10 Reasons Why Metroid Fusion Is The Best Game In The Series
Metroid Prime was my most memorable playthrough of the series. It gets my top spot. Retro Studios absolutely nailed the transition from 2d. In comparison, there hasn't been a 3d Castlevania that even comes close its quality

Just port over the DS games and I'm set. Bloodstained is the new "Castlevania ".
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (September 25th)
I've been sticking to a steady mix of MHRise , Fury Unleashed and Tumblestone
Re: Castlevania Advance Collection Is Out Today On Nintendo Switch eShop
This was a very good Direct. And an instant drop of classic Castlevanias doesn't disappoint
Re: Nintendo's Global Marketing Campaign For Metroid Dread Continues
@GammaPhonic As a fan of the series, heavily promoting a new Metroid game is news. It's very good news.
Re: Nintendo's Switch OLED Model Makes Its First Public Appearance In Japan
That screen does look good. As a Switch Lite user, I'm hopeful Ninty releases a Lite model as well
Re: Video: Nintendo Drops A New Metroid Dread Commercial
Nintendo is promoting the game pretty well. Hopefully that's a sign of confidence that Dread is amazing.
