Would be pretty amazing to get the first game bundled with the the second game since Nintendo platforms didn't get the first Escapists.

Escapists has always felt to me like a kind of copy of Prison Architect, the graphical similarities are too much alike. of course the idea of the game is the opposite, to escape and not build and maintain a prison.

This game looks excellent. If I ever had a Switch, this would be the first game to buy.

Going to be exciting to hear probably soon what else are these guys working on. Superbly talented German magicians.

Going to be awesome to play this one on 3DS. Would've bought it on Wii U, but Mr. Provinciano never really got on with the Wii U development of RCR or Shakedown Hawaii.

Excellent that The Fall Part 2: Unbound is coming to Wii U also.

Would buy if it came to Europe and I already hadn't bought the digital release on day one.

This kind of package should've come originally last year to Wii U. It looks really great!

wow, now that's a nice Sega discount sale. Got to get the 3D classics I'm missing.

70€ for Zelda is insanity. It's already kind of too much that I'm paying 60€ for the disc version on Wii U.

@Hinaru77 if 1-2 Switch was bundled that would at least explain the insane 380€ price tag that Switch currently has.

Now since Switch is coming out without any games bundled and price is that 380€, that is just insanity. Explanations about HD rumble etc yadayada is not acceptable. They will get totally destroyed in Europe when competition is selling their devices for 250€. It does not matter that PS4 and Xbox One are four year old products right now against a brand new next gen device like Switch. The normal consumers will look at the price and take the cheaper one.

I would love Switch to take the world by storm, but this pricing strategy will ruin Switch for regular consumers. Tech nerds and diehard fans will buy the machine even if the machine is priced as it is. In Japan it will sell a lot since it costs just 250€ there.

Thank you to the devs for supporting Wii U and not being rats like Yooka-Laylee devs.

When you don't need to pay Kojima's salaries, I guess profit is guaranteed.

I wonder will this Dreamcast game come to Wii U in Europe at all?

E: Haha, stand corrected. Announced today that it will launch this week. Cool!

Japan has the coolest bit where you can choose what colours you want. So you can get full red or full blue if you want.

A) Not going to get it for a few years. Reasons being too crazy high European launch price and too many older game still to be played on various devices

B) If I had a Switch I would get FAST RMX and Snipperclips since Zelda will be a Wii U purchase

C) Not really excited, Nintendo has not said really anything about the console, the OS, the Virtual Console etc.

Too many open questions and four days to launch.

Kimishima is the complete opposite of Iwata.

Iwata was a gamer himself and really close to the fans. Kimishima seems to be an old type of businessman who just sits in an ivory tower in Kyoto.

Did the first one ever come to Europe?

@GrailUK I don't mind, the game will be butchered in the retail because people will not buy it. They could have given a positive spin to it since it is the demo game to show the features of the console just like Wii Sports and Nintendoland were. And they could have pr'd it by saying it's one of the first million sellers.

Got to hope that the insane 379€ price of the console will drop by Christmas, Nintendo needs this to sell and not be left on shelves. I don't want them to have again financial losses especially now the exchange rates are horrible because of dumb politicians and corrupt businessmen.

They absolutely missed the boat on 1-2 Switch. It should've been included with the console. The console needs a bundled game because of the high price and Nintendo launching next gen early.

1-2 Switch is not a full price game. It's as mispriced as Wii Sports Club was on Wii U

I think the most hilarious part of their DLC is that it's not even included in the crazy overpriced special edition of the game.

The first DLC pack sounds worthless, but the second could be alright.

Well, it was way too early for this to be legal. It smelled like a rotten deal.

Have to say, that Bomberman game definitely doesn't look like a full price game.

If hard mode is the only "hero mode" in the game then it's really dumb to lock it behind DLC.

They should do it like in Twilight Princess HD that the hard mode is in the game, but an extra hard mode was locked in amiibo "dlc".

Not buying the pr quote. NES Mini is done and case closed. People were ready to buy millions of these in Christmas rush, but Nintendo missed the boat when they deliberately made only like 300k limited supply of these to the scalpers.

The second DLC pack sounds fine since that most likely brings huge amount of content to the game. The first pack however sounds like a ripoff.

Also it will be just way too weird if Wii U's DLC also includes some dumb Switch costume.

It's good that the Wii U version is still coming. THQ Nordic can be proud to say they released the last physical Wii U game.

I hope instead they would release Cave Story 3D as digital in 3DS eShop. It's only had a "coming soon" game page in the eShop for six years now.

I'm from Europe, is it available in North America? I've never been sure about that.

I'm that kind of a dumb guy that I actually bought Cave Story on Wii, PC and 3DS regular eShop version. Only one that I would still like to try is the 3D reimagining which I hear is the worst version, but still I'm intrigued enough that I'd like to test it.

This and Puyo Puyo Tetris are the only Switch games I would buy from the launch catalog, if I had a Switch.

Zelda will be a Wii U game, even though Nintendo try their best to gimp it as much as possible.

Unbelievable how gigantic was the way that Nintendo messed up the whole NES Mini situation. They went in with a limited quantity from the start and never wanted NES Mini to become big. So in the end they sold most of their stock to ebay scalpers and everyone lost.

It could have been the biggest million seller in Christmas because the hype was incredibly huge and now the hype has died completely. I never saw it sold anywhere in Finland, but before Christmas I heard so many people talking about it, even people who had not touched games since the original NES era.

What an utterly lost opportunity. Someone at Nintendo deserves to be fired because of this completely miscalculated business failure.

Regarding Bergsala, they are a horrible company that are responsible for Nintendo products in the Nordic countries. They have always done a slacker job at promoting and selling products and never try to even advertise anything. I haven't seen a single Switch commercial on tv for example or on magazines or newspapers.

Also since they are based in Sweden, they don't really care about Finland, Norway or Denmark.

I so wish Nintendo had a centralized operations in Germany where they would directly handle all European countries instead of this mess that we have always been so far where only some countries have official Nintendo presence.

Shame, I was hoping it to be more original. And since no use with gamepad included, that is certainly a missed opportunity from the dev.

Well, now's the chance for people to pick it up since on Thursday the game has a huge discount.

Tank Troopers could have been great for 3DS in 2017, shame they dropped the ball and did not include proper online with it.

It will not be bought because of that and that is a shame, since it looked like a fun little eShop game.

Soul Axiom interests me because the Nindies demo was cool, but the performance problems that plagued the demo and seem to plague the final release also according to the review worry me.

@RupeeClock

It's actually weird that eShop purchases done in Wii U and 3DS don't send email receipts to your email address. When you buy from the internet browser shop in nintendo.co.uk for example, the receipt always comes to the email.

Could have been an amazing surprise new IP game from Nintendo for 2017. Shame there is no online so this kind of tank battle game loses the point almost immediately...

I already own all the amazing three games on Wii and Wii U. I wonder do I get those for free on cross platform purchase on Switch or for a small nominal upgrade fee at least?

They need to detail all that also. It really utterly sucks if loyal fans and buyers would need to pay the full amount again.

Holy crap how well is all those games sorted out and all the devices and cables also. That's just genius organizing, I wish I could do something similar instead of the mess my house is currently in.

The best Lego game ever made.

Limited quantity of stock hahahah. Oh man if they mess this up like they did with the NES Classic Mini. That will just be unbelievable.

Feist, Limbo, Badland, Typoman.

There are a lot of graphical similarities between those games and Toby. Lets see. Limbo and Typoman were awesome at least.

Typical for Bergsala only to do it in Sweden instead of doing it in all the Nordic countries Finland, Norway, Denmark and Sweden even though they are supposed to be the official representative of Nintendo in all the Nordic countries.

Not really impressed at all. I wish Nordic countries would get a real Nintendo office and not just Bergsala doing a bad job like Amo did previously.

Wow that looks really nice. So happy that quality looking games are still on their way to Wii U. Not all devs are rats apparently.

Will be buying it on PC on a sale, not earlier and only if it ends up being a good game. The Wii U cancellation pr bs was just too much.

Weren't these games in a sale recently? I hate when digital games just disappear. They should notify all users at least a month before that titles are disappearing in the near future.

I really don't like this kind of digital future where stuff is just taken out without any explanation or notice beforehand.

Not that I care about these two particular games.

I wonder why SMT4:Apocalypse doesn't just have a season pass style thing for all those millions of dlc contents.

Where are the virtual console gold coin awards? I just don't understand why Nintendo abandoned the My Nintendo so quickly after launch.

I get the idea that all the Miitomo whatever stuff and discounts are on platinum coins, but they are just completely ruining the program for gold coins and are simply put just not encouraging people to buy anything on their Nintendo devices since gold coins give you nothing, just incredibly bad discounts that nobody wants.

It would be a damn shame if Earthbound 3 never appears on Wii U VC.

Standard EA behaviour, nothing more, nothing less.

I will never forget that while the Mass Effect 3 Wii U version was excellent, those donkeys made at the same time the whole trilogy for PS3 and 360. Why release just one version to be slaughtered in the market, when you could've done the whole trilogy and guaranteed sales on Wii U.

This game looks excellent and fun, but they really should have included a simple online play at least in some arena for with 2 vs. 2 or 4 vs. 4 online play.

What in the world? There was a X-Wing vs. Tie Fighter sequel in development? Now that is a crime that it never was finished!

Shame EA will never realize this kind of games and will only make Battlefront.

Tyrone Rodriguez just being usual himself. Not the first time he leaves something unreleased. Still don't understand why would any company want to work with him. Especially cool guys like Edmund.

@arrmixer
Yes I bought it as well, it really works great. It annoys me so much that EA did such a intentionally crappy job supporting Wii U. Also the Need for Speed game is really working great on Wii U. Just that also came months and months later on Wii U than other platforms so sales were crap because everyone bought it on other platforms already.

Wii U failed in the eyes of 3rd party because 3rd party failed the consumers.

"When asked about Mass Effect Andromeda, she brought up the point that Mass Effect 3 sold horrendously on Wii U and that there are no plans to release the title."

Thanks to stupid EA that is. Lets release just ME3 on Wii U and lets unveil a few weeks later the whole trilogy for the other consoles.

Well that sucks.

Also, I wonder where in the world is Mother 3. They should've just released it in summer at E3.
