I just played the Talos Principle on Switch for $3 on sale. A stellar, full-length game. I also purchased Limbo for $2, which was only a few hours of play, but very fun and memorable. Maybe I'll wait for the feature demo game to go on sale a couple years down the road for kicks.

This game looks to be a really creative implementation, and the word from the hands-on folks is that it's well done and fun. I'm not a multiplayer guy, though--I wonder if the solo experience will be worth it.

And to anyone saying they wouldn't want to play something that disabled people play, you're being a total *****. In soccer you're not allowed to use your hands, but somehow it's still fun and not only to people without the use of their hands... Seriously, this opinion I'm seeing repeatedly above couldn't be more condescending and illogical.

This would be the launch game that I was looking for!

4k shovelware browsing with 120 FPS baby!

Jk jk, happy they're working on it.

So... I really enjoyed watching the direct and am excited about the hardware upgrades. But the launch titles are honestly weak, and the prices are high (it's hard to eat the higher prices on everything — console, games, peripherals). I thought I was a guaranteed pre-order, but I'm actually thinking I'll hold off.

It's cool, but given high price of games, console, and peripherals, my hunch is it won't sell.

@SuperBro64 It's super complicated, but the most simplistic explanation is high interest rates in the US and very low rates in Japan make holding USD more profitable than JPY, because lending in USD becomes much more profitable. That's just one factor, though.

The yen has ben SO weak it's insane. I was staying in high end hotels in Tokyo last year for the equivalent of ~$100 USD/night. My Japanese friends hate it, though, because any imported goods or international travel is very unaffordable for them (even though their economy is pretty strong).

Is language the only locking mechanism? My Japanese is definitely good enough to handle UI type stuff.

Points deducted for the US feed crashing. And no mention of the greater than expected price hikes

Zelda upgrade packs (BotW & TotK) are free if you have NSO + expansion pack.

Bravely Default is, per SE's announcement, available at Switch 2 launch. No date on FF7R. I've been holding off on playing this for a long time, can't wait!

@dhumahn That's actually cheaper than in the US or Europe

Pro controller is 75 GBP on the UK store--that's like 100 USD. I expect it won't be that high, but...

More than $100 USD cheaper in Japan. I don't begrudge them that at all though. Their currency has been super weak and our politics have been super stupid.

That's like $60 USD more expensive in Europe. Sorry guys :/

Mouse-like joycon functionality would be awesome for brush controls!

If it looks like a Switch 2 dock, and it quacks like a Switch 2 dock?

I've been eagerly awaiting this port–looking forward to playing it (and to having a great tool to lure my cat-loving fiance into the gaming cave).

Dangerous article...

The Messenger for $4 is wild. That's one of the best games I've played in years.
