Nope. No more trailers for me thanks.

I have my pre order in and I want to be surprised by all the little bits in here - considering it might be the last Switch game I buy (I am ready for the Switch 2 please Ninty)

@Sonicka I am sure it will be good.

I got burnt with Another Crabs Treasure, which I was really excited for, but it just ran so terribly in handheld mode making the game even harder than it already was. Should've just bought it on PS5 in the first place. Sigh.

$30 for the digital version at launch?

This has gone from a Day 1 purchase to "Wait for a sale". Absolutely not paying that much for a digital title, particularly if the physical edition never releases here in the UK.

@Dogorilla Just watched a couple of videos and all the boosters there were 5 card packs.

Of course that is a demo version, so the full game could be 10 card packs, but as 20 cards feels generous, I think 5 card packs will be standard.

@Denoloco I am actually surprised it isn't a bigger proportion of Switch owners to be honest.

Other than pack in games, I do wonder what the highest attach rate games are? Possibly an older game as their were far fewer games being released back in the day.

I'm glad I'm not the only one but this game just isn't grabbing me at all. It's the first time I am playing it, so no nostalgia at all, and it just feels like a slog.

I'm part way through Chapter 3, which some places say is the best chapter, and all that's happening is an easy fight, back to a room, easy fight with a weird requirement, back to a room. This is just going on for too long and is just tiresome.

It looks great, the music is fantastic and the characters are fun and varied but the gameplay and pacing shows its age I think.

I'll give it another crack eventually but I've swapped to playing through my backlog now. I'm currently playing through Tunic which is just fantastic.

I'm not trying to flame or anything just sharing my thoughts.

Scrolling down the list and there are a few names I'm interested in. I'll give this a watch me thinks

They have showed this in 2 different directs and both times I am just unimpressed. The art style is bizarre, there is no lip syncing, the Switch version is so blurry, the gameplay looks meh. It actually looks like an early PS3 game.

I think this game really is dead on arrival which is a real shame as I love the LOTR franchise. Or I used to at least. Since the Hobbit trilogy it really has been downhill.

I'd take a remaster of LOTR War in the North over anything released recently.

I really liked the first game, despite being horrible at it. I was interested in a sequel but it's even more difficult than the first AND double the price.

So unfortunately unless this gets a good discount, I'm out.

I see big chesticles on every female character and I immediately switch off. Completely unnecessary and makes most characters look so out of place.

@babyThorman It was absolutely on a PSOne demo disk.

Me and my brothers played that demo a ton but have never played the full game. We are all eagerly awaiting this new release.

For me personally, I always play in performance mode as I prefer the smooth gameplay of 60fps than the game looking pretty.

On the flipside, sWiTcH 2 4k OuTpUt CoNfIrMeD!

That price is the cherry on top of a delicious looking cake. I'm in for sure.

@KevinLo9 This is me as well.

I've been hooked on the game ever since it debuted in an Indie Direct. I've been crabby ever since and have been itching for it to come out. I've seen reviews for the game on other platforms (solid 7's and 8s) but places don't seem to be very snappy with reviews for the Switch version.

A shadow drop of Another Crabs Treasure a week early would be welcomed. Otherwise there isn't anything on my radar I can name right now.

No Rest for the Wicked (from the Ori developers) looks like a blast but that is only just going into early access so I'm not actually expecting anything here.

Otherwise I'll carry on playing FF7 Rebirth and waiting for the Switch 2

And the day before release, it gets delayed for another 3 months.

I really shouldn't be surprised at this point, but somehow I am.

Pentiment for me for that price. I don't know much about it but I've heard that's the best way to experience it anyway.

@BodkinDQ The lack of love for FFX on here is disturbing. I am pretty bias however considering FFX is my all time favourites game a D I really hope the remake rumours are true.

After X it would have to be V and then IV.

I've only tried the first game on the DS, but that was an absolute blast. I've been looking forward to this for a while so I hope it's good.

I'll be downloading the beta but knowing me, it'll go unplayed. Oops

The original TCG on the Gameboy is my favourite. Completed it many times on various systems and have fun every time.

Pokémon Conquest is otherwise my favourite.

Pokémon Duel was the best mobile game for sure and I was sad when it ended

@Clammy Weird comment considering Mario Wonder was legitimately a very good game.

I did really like Valiant Hearts but man do I wish Child of Light had a sequel. CoL is a top 3 all time game for me and I really want more of the world, characters, music and gameplay.

Just checked my Switch and it has indeed disappeared. I even had it in my WishList but nope, gone.

It's definitely been pulled for some reason

I did play Rise back when it came out but put it down after quite a while. The discount right now on the eShop is tempting me back in however.

The base game and Sunbreak for £16.49 sounds like a steal for the hundreds of hours on offer.

I didn't know anything about this game before the Direct but the style definitely grabbed me. Glad to read it's very good and presents great value for £15.

It's on my wishlist and is a game I'll get to once I get FF7 Rebirth completed.

Looks like I need to stock up on medicine because I'm getting Crabs this April.

Fantastic announcement. My and my brother's played a LOT of this back in the day. 64 player online means I'll probably get it on my PS5 so I can play with them.

Checking the eshop though and £31.49 is a very steep price for this. Sure there are servers but I was expecting £24.99 at most.

I noticed Floppy Knights was on its biggest sale to date and I just had to pick it up.

Strategy, card based RPG with those beautiful graphics, yes please.

This really puts into perspective what a monster MK8D really is sales wise. No wonder they decided on DLC for the game instead of fracturing the fan base with a 9th entry. Bravo.

Loved the reveal.

Loved being invited to the pre-release event in London - where my brother and I broke Snipperclips and the developer was there looking worried at how we had managed it

Loved launch and glad I picked up the pro controller along with BotW

The Switch has definitely been my favourite console in my lifetime and hopefully the Switch 2 carries that momentum.

I'd imagine we'll get more detail for this in PlayStation's first State Of Play for the year. It'll then get shown again in Nintendo's February Direct.

I am interested, but definitely waiting for reviews first

6 months!? Jeez. Unfortunately it is a game I also put down and just never picked back up again. I did the first dungeon and that's as far as I got.

At least this year has been jam packed with top tier videogames and I shouldn't feel as guilty for leaving this on the back burner.

I'm looking forward to this game after playing Fifa 19 for hundreds of hours

I've always been a Team Manager kinda person so I have no interest in Ultimate Team.

I'm probably just old and am afraid of this new fangled online play shenanigans.

I literally only started playing this game today after it has been in my backlog for a while. Maybe even 5 years.

I have no idea why I left it so long, it's so good

Definitely looking forward to this after playing FIFA 18 for quite a few (hundred) hours. I obviously never really had a reason to get the latest version on Switch.

@Tyranexx To be fair if they are going tk have to do it to be able to sell the product in the EU, it is highly likely the batteries will be replacement worldwide. Its far easier to just design the one product then to make different variants for each region.

However there would be no obligation to sell the batteries separately in the US.

This story reminds me of the upgraded battery for the Wii U. It did feel a bit cheeky of Nintendo to do it, but I suppose having the option was appreciated.

I wish the stand didn't have the 4 on it, to make it just Pikmin branded, but I may go for this.

The keyring are the best thing here though

@Bret Nonsense they released the best colours they could possibly release back in October 2019 (Purple and Orange)

These pastel colours do look nice. I'd grab a double set of the pastel purple if I could.

TotK has beaten out Hogwarts legacy by 54% despite that game being released on 5 different platforms and having been out for 3 months on 3 of them. 0.o wow

TotK is going to be a monster in a year of some top quality titles.

I commend them for carrying on with the game, but at this point why not just cancel?

The Switch is clearly struggling to handle the game and even further tweaks are required from what we have on PS4 and Xbox One.

Most people that will have wanted to play the game will have played it and moved on by the time the Switch version releases.

I do wish they'd add a "Buy all" button to these things. It's a little bit of a chore to go through each one and select, buy then confirm.

@Lizuka It's a possibility that this is only half of them and the other half is held back to avoid any potential spoilers.

cause a salty discharge 0.o

Oh my

The advert did come up on my Youtube feed and I did feel like it is a really well done advert. Other than the complete savagery of the person playing on the bus, with the sound on and not having headphones on. No one likes that person. Don't be that person.

I've got it preordered but it will wait in my backlog for a month or two.

Star Wars Jedi Survivor is currently taking up my time and I am engrossed. Absolutely love it.

Am I now more interested in this collection simply because of the box art? Why yes, yes I am.

@Olliemar28 I think the top 40 is more useful as the top 10 al;ways includes the same games every single week (Looking at you Minecraft, FIFA and GTA).

It also gives us more shocks like NS Sports somehow being at number 11 on the chart

Pay day can't come soon enough so I can get that sweet physical edition ordered.

Sure it's expensive for what are 30 year old games but the amount of gaming here is absurd. I can't wait to give FF5 another go and to play FF6 for the first time.

@1UP_MARIO This is a good way of putting it, so bravo. Sure everyone likes to own something but some things are an experience and in our capitalist society, you need to pay for experiences for them to continue to be offered.

Apex Legends is a good example for me. I play it at least twice a week with my brother and probably put at least 5 hours in a week. Because of the good times i was having I felt the devs deserved some money towards their battle pass. As I played it enough I have not paid for a battle pass since as I get enough credits from the pass to buy the next one.

I have enjoyed many, many hours of gaming for the £8 (or so) I spent 4 years ago buying that pass. No other game has come close to hours per pound spent.

@Fizza I had completely forgotten about Pepper Grinder, but now you've reminded me, I want it right now.

This is giving me massive Rayman on PSOne vibes. I'll keep an eye on this one for sure, despite pixel art platformers being done to death at this point.
