“I wonder what’s going on over here”

“Go away nosey Smurf!”

Wonderful. This is one release I can’t wait to play. Im having to borrow my kid’s lite, the og is dead and I can’t find an lied preorder for love or money…no panic….they will eventually be around.

I really must revisit the first game. Loved the atmos but can stuck very early on. This looks fab too. One at a time

@smithyo ahhhh man, good point!

First new Nintendo device I'm not lining up over night for. I live miles from any stores these days...I know I'll get one eventually, hopefully before xmas.

@BlueOcean makes me wonder what the studio could have been if part owned by Nintendo and part owned by Xbox. Could have been very cool. Not as cool as Ultimate Play the Game of course…

I’d pay a pretty penny to play Dune 2 on Switch. It would make sense to release it now to cash in on interest around the new film.

I’m down with this, although the price seems just a tad steep. I’m also looking forward to getting my preordered Playdate, my first non nintendo device in decades (that was the psp).

@Johnno137426 smell my cheese!

Wish I hadn’t watched this the trailer, I also like to be surprised and discover stuff for myself.

I take it this will be physical on day one?

Vaguely off topic: Physical release, good! I'm done with digital. A storm knocked out the internet, meh, I'll play a bit of old school shooter Raiden which I'd downloaded. Nope. Apparently, it has to check the Internet before I play a game I paid for. Give me the carts1

@SwitchForce thanks for the intel. I’m normally a line up at Rockefeller all night kinda person so I’m vexed at this. Meh. Might just grab a lite for now …should be. Ok for Metroid

Any recommendations on where to preorder in the US?

I could Google but you’re my peeps!

Ever notice that evils always “stalks” and never just “wanders about” the land?

Anyway, can’t say this has me too excited but a decent review could change that.

@Clarice Weclome to late stage capitalism I guess...I am getting a bit sucked in by those sneakers.....ugh......one born every minute

@GrailUK I was thinking of making that my ring tone, in honor of the only arcade game I’ve ever “clocked”.

Such a sweet sounding game but the dev name, ‘Raw Fury’ seems a bit out of sorts with it

@Kidfunkadelic83 And I take it you've enjoyed the tv show The Detectorists? If not you're in for a treat! Well, if you like "cosy" gentle English comedies that is....

Onto the game, yeah, this looks nice and relaxing. I'll hang back for a review, I'd imagine a 7/10? Which would be fine for me.

I'd be happy to make a simple space invaders type thing.

I loved the first one but as per usual with me, got a bit stuck and frustrated with a boss. Thanks to @SwitchVogel, I now know there is a run away option. Good!

Wait? Bananaman? Eric is that you?!

Sounds fun enough - though I never really gel with crafting in games , from AC to Skyrim , gets on my wick…

Short Hike is wonderful. Some may recall the days when "controls" used to be marked in reviews? Well, for this, 9 out of 10, it's just lovely to play!

@PessitheMystic it’s probably a New York loft costing 5k a month

"All I see is an Atreides I want to kill..."

Oh yes! Just saw this, love Raiden 1. Had the arcade at a place I worked at for years, it’s was the best way to kill a slow afternoon.

@SpringDivorce waaaaaait….Raiden? The first one?! OMG GIMME!

@Anti-Matter yes. This. 100%.

@Lyricana me too!

A point on this, “ Only about 20% of PS4 sales were PS4 Pro, which means that of the existing users before Pro.. at most, 25% upgraded.”

Good research but stats are often about framing. I wager in some Sony board room it’s all, “we sold 20% more ps4 this quarter following our upgrade strategy”.

@TheBigK mm. I’m in a kinda similar sitch. I’m going die getting a replacement oled. Not as nice portable form as the lite but plenty fine enough and then the big Telly for the epic games. Plus I’ll now have two docks

@Ear_wiG my kid has the light and I really love it as a handheld. My origins, og has died (cracked back to to modest fall) and just not turning on, so the new Oled is too tempting for me to say no to. If I had a working I wouldn’t bother, maybe get the lite for traveling

@Luigisghost669 I’d say the us is a significant market for them. I don’t think it’s false to say “the top” he was at the big people’s table for sure .

This will be interesting for me as both a Nintendo fan and a “Blur Ocean” advocate.

@Ogbert well who says video games aren’t educational eh? Thanks for that!

Axolotl? As in the tanks from Dune?

All fine by me. My OG Switch - bought on launch day - just flat out died. A first for any of my Nintendo stuff (my 89 game boy still works). I was on the fence about buying a lite (love the form factor) but I appreciate the option of occasionally glutting out on a big Telly game of Zelda. I’m not sold on the color combos but maybe it will appeal more “in the hand.”

Heh. It’s Nintendo, we’re nintendo fans they will drop SOMETHING next year to take our money

@recent_mantis my v1 switch broke so I’ve been “borrowing” my kid’s lite - it’s a joy to play! If only the thing docked !! I don’t play many docked games but Zelda will be one I’d like on a big screen … so yeah… I don’t think you can go too far wrong either way depending on how you like to play .

Posted this elsewhere but yeah definite purchase for me as my OG died on me. I love the lite form and wish they’d just allow That to be docked and have an oled screen but you can’t always get your own way - so yeah A I’ll be happy to have this and Metroid, Zelda 2 and my back catalogue.

My oh broke a few months ago so for me this is a day one: what I would have loved is a dockable lite with a larger Oled screen 1 that would have been perfect for me .

Still, I’m good with this, despite not being wild about the color scheme.

@Friendly so would I! I like the game so much I’ve been tempted to get a second hand PS just for it. I’ve played it a bit on iPad but, meh, I just don’t like playing games on touch screens (or non nintendo devices lol)

Not to yuck the yum, but 3.1m seems like a paltry amount considering the size of the gaming audience overall. I suppose this just represents the hardcore mentalists (like all of us)? I suppose I’m getting used to seeing these ludicrous k pop figures with, like a billion people watching so and so….

@fafonio thanks for the Intel. I’m a little ashamed I don’t know that ha ha.

So, 5 will be about before 4? shrug personally I’m more looking forward to the 2d adventure.

@NINtendo242 is that Front 242 reference by chance?!

I’d love to see something like” link to the past “ on this.

I think I could be into this, I’m always tying and failing to programme but one day, I’ll make a game….the lack of custom objects is a bit of a shame but I can live with it.

Making something ugly, beautiful is a compelling premise for a game. I'll look forward to reviews.

Wow. Well it’s certainly an eclectic list with both /my_child_lebensborn and cow catcher on the system. Hope to see reviews of both

Welcome to the loneliest comments section in the world looking forward to a review of this one!
