With the exception of a few “may need it” buys like joycons and backup memory cards that’s a pretty weak showing imo. Nothing you couldn’t find elsewhere, anyway.
Bummer it wasn’t quite where it can, be. Other great options out there for indie players as already stated. Retro Bowl, Axis Football 2023. Unfortunate some man-children can’t keep their tirades out of video game chat.
Bit of a shaky start but I like where their dev team is coming from. Funny while there is no “NFL license” on switch were slowly building a library here.
Retro Bowl and Axis Football 2023 have been my go-tos. Tecmo Bowl, that Neo-Geo classic. Think there’s another more arcadey option too… turbo something football?
Now enter Legend Bowl. Keep your ultimate team. Madden who? Lol.
Going to sting but I can’t pay that for a cart of red dead. Despite wanting to. Rather take a gamble on Legend Bowl and support an indie studio. Hope for a roadmap of sorts.
Oh man take my money. The original was an absolute masterpiece. 7/10 gimme a break lol. Not too worried about Quake II staying the course. These couple Quake-con shadow drops have been great.
@jkirchgessner07 Personally? Don’t really care either way. Just calling it as I see it. I don’t use NL solely for my big N news or reviews. I’ve yet to feel I owe them my money. I had no interest in the program as is. I know NL seems to do this often, like many; and I don’t view this as a deal at all. Just ad revenue. So really, just a “win” if we’re splitting hairs.
But the hustle isn’t lost on me. People need to eat. Nothing worth having is free. Just found it more akin to telling a GameStop employee 18 times i don’t need to protect my new release for 3 bucks, is all.
Would even guess I’ve generated them revenue in ways I’m not even aware of. Go figure.
I don’t know this isn’t much when you think about it. Especially if you have no need for the service. Getting something paid off, (not free) if you can drop 120+ on two new releases?
It’s come about quite a bit for anyone still interested. Active devs, community support, etc. Took a chance on Session a few days ago as the sale had the bundle for 30US and it’s pretty clear an inferior version was reviewed here; and briefly at that. It’s also a total passion project in active development.
It still has issues, no doubt. But a 5 is silly. More like a 6-7. 8 if you were a Skate fan. 5 if you couldn’t clear the tutorial, maybe? Lol.
Hope we at least get a remake/remaster of a couple classics. Not a watered down mobile game. That said I doubt anything truly new is coming out until some new hardware does.
@Ogbert I’d just assumed he WAS Hellboy lol. Best thing that came from those movies was his casting. A crime imo we didn’t get a third even if they weren’t perfect.
Bittersweet to see all these 3ds ports so quick after the shops closure. I mean, it’s neat for those that weren’t able to experience them. But kind of weird if you grew up playing them, you know?
Man that thing was a brick. Still fire up the Advance to this day. Miss the times when a “shelf-life” was actually that. Not a stopwatch for a replacement.
Advance Wars Re-boot 1+2. In a sea of “remasters” Nintendo finally did right by this beloved franchise with a proper Remake. Not a fan of the MP but eh.
@Anti-Matter 100% Agreed. K1 World GP is one of my most played games to this day. Even learned some Japanese to understand the menus in career mode lol.
Nice to finally see another option. Wasn’t expecting the world but still a pleasant surprise. Between this, Wrestling Empire and a couple other indies maybe we can all finally forget 2K18.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (August 19th)
Been prying myself away from TABS and Advance Wars to give the Vita some love.
SH: Book of Memories
Syphon Filter DM and LS
Motorstorm: Arctic Edge
Dragons Crown
Oldies but goodies.

Re: Boom! Quake II Is Now Available To Download From The Switch eShop
@smithyo That’s because it’s an opinion mate. Not right or wrong. Just different from yours. Personally? I also favor 1 over 2.

Re: Handheld Consoles Will Need Easily-Switchable Batteries By 2027, Says New EU Regulation
About time. My battery lasts a good 30 minutes at this point lol. V1 battery life was just awful on some titles.
Re: Stardew Valley Creator Reveals New Details About Version 1.6
Day/Night is indeed part of the charm imo. What a dev though? Been more amped for this and the previous update than some AAA titles.
Not to mention Haunted Chocolatier.
Re: Poll: How Many Of You Have Actually Visited 'Minus World' In Super Mario Bros.?
Minus world??
Here I was thinking of some impossible, Bayonetta/Mario crossover where instead of losing coins you surrender a finger with each life lost. 😆

Re: Deals: New Best Buy Promotion Lets You Pick Up Free Nintendo Switch Games
@rallydefault
Ever heard of a kickback program? It’s basically where websites profit off of ad related purchases by partnerships with other websites.
Unrelated. Does NL have a lot of bots?

Sounds like a lot of hassle for 10 bucks.

Re: A New Hellboy Game Has Been Announced For Nintendo Switch
Trying not to get too hyped but this looks amazing. Could it be the Hellboy we deserve?
Re: Save Up To 50% On Games And DLC In Koei Tecmo's eShop Summer Sale
Man they have some great sales. May give Fatal Frame a go. Never actually played a FF title. The OGs at the time were too scary. Lol.
Re: EA Sports FC 24 Switch Gameplay Trailer Revealed, Frostbite Engine Confirmed
Probably let it cook for another season. Interested to see how the whole rebrand pans out though.
Re: New Harvest Moon: The Winds Of Anthos Trailer Gives First Look At Gameplay Footage
Looks a lot like My Time in Portia imo. Loved that game and it’s very late patch. Bit more polish as well.
Re: Round Up: Every Switch Game Announced At Limited Run's 2023 Showcase
Would love a physical of Midnight Fight Express.
But I don’t want it delivered to my unborn child 30 years after my death..
Re: Random: Digital Foundry Says Switch 'Last Of Us' Clone Has "No Redeeming Features Whatsoever"
There’s getting to be too much trash on the eShop. Too many shovelware devs are allowed to release and re-release complete garbage over and over.
I feel for the folks on limited budgets that get conned into buying.
Who can forget VG Games latest reskin?
“World War Battle Heroes Field Armies Call of Prison Duty Simulator” (yes it’s a real title on the US store)
Re: Review: Front Mission 1st: Remake - Impressive Visuals, But A Slog On The Battlefield
Reviews really need to be updated post-patch. Not that I come here for the reviews. Eh..
Re: AEW: Fight Forever Is Getting A Free 30-Player Battle Royale Mode Update
Looks like Guts and Glory!

Re: How Well Do You Know The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom?
Eeesh. 5/15. At least this one won’t need to be “locked” at some point. More child friendly.
Re: Best Food In Nintendo Switch Games
That Bunny Dango with some fresh, hot tea? Screw the hunts. I’d never leave the table lol. Om nom nom.
Re: Rumour: EA Sports FC 24 Reportedly Due To Kick Off In September
Let’s hope. But remember which company it is.
Re: Random: A 'Last Of Us' Clone Is Available On Switch, But Seriously, Don't Bother
Eeesh. Slow day fellas?
Re: Ubisoft's The Settlers: New Allies Is Now Available On Nintendo Switch
@Dm9982 We we’re spoiled. It really was a golden age of strategy games.
Re: Ubisoft's The Settlers: New Allies Is Now Available On Nintendo Switch
Oh man those little goons take me back! With their bald heads and flippy-floppy feet. Hope they really do it justice.
Re: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Update Now Live (Version 1.2.0), Here Are The Full Patch Notes
But can you now craft a shrubbery?
Re: Review: Empire of Sin - A Criminal Waste Of A Superb Premise
I’d advise a pass on the sale. Real scummy saga following the Romero’s (devs of Eos) and how they have scammed and threatened their own community.
Re: Nintendo Has Apparently Retired Its Gulf War Game Boy
Man that thing was a brick. Still fire up the Advance to this day. Miss the times when a “shelf-life” was actually that. Not a stopwatch for a replacement.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (July 1st)
Advance Wars and recently snagged Kingdom Two Crowns with the dlc. Been throwing coins at that one. 😝
Re: Nintendo "Currently Have No Specifics To Share" About Other Legacy Platforms For Switch Online
Well I’ve got no money to spend on expansion pass. Ha! Take that Nintendo!
I still need my multiplayer though.. 😊
Re: Poll: What's Your Game Of The Year Of 2023 So Far?
Advance Wars Re-boot 1+2. In a sea of “remasters” Nintendo finally did right by this beloved franchise with a proper Remake. Not a fan of the MP but eh.
Re: Gollum Publisher Daedalic Entertainment Shuts Down Internal Development
@Cashews Tell that to folks with pending unemployment bud. No; losing your job is never a “good thing.”
Good game, bad game, these folks have families to feed. Hope they land on their feet.
Re: Everybody 1-2-Switch! Player Icon Uploads Don't Appear To Block Explicit Photos Online
Anyone actually buy it yet?
Re: Gollum Publisher Daedalic Entertainment Shuts Down Development Projects
They’ve had a couple decent titles. But more subpar when you look at their whole catalogue.
Re: Free-To-Play Shooter 'Rogue Company' Ends Service On Switch In June
Mfers. Excuse me.
I’ll never buy another title from high rez again. Black marked dev.
Re: Bloober Team's 'The Medium' Is Out Now On Switch... As A Cloud Version
Bleh. Will never go in on these “cloud switch games.”
But would be interested to know if they are even selling well compared to true digital or cartridge titles? Don’t see much love.
Re: Review: AEW: Fight Forever - The Spirit Of WWF No Mercy Lives On In The Ring
@Goofonzo Then clearly, it’s a niche you missed. Google K1. He’s not insulting wrestling. Some combat sports fans just don’t care for theater.
Re: Review: AEW: Fight Forever - The Spirit Of WWF No Mercy Lives On In The Ring
@Anti-Matter 100% Agreed. K1 World GP is one of my most played games to this day. Even learned some Japanese to understand the menus in career mode lol.
A proper Switch outing would be a dream.

Maybe.

Re: Limited Run Games Showcase To Feature "20+ New Digital And Physical Announcements"
@CharlieGirl Caved hard on Doom Eternal day one. For once wasn’t disappointed by the physical drop later. :/ Eeesh.
