I know I'm late on this(discovered from elsewhere), but anyone else notice that Best Buy's GCU appears to apply to the Let's GO + pokeball controller bundle, so that means that it may stack with this as well! It's listed on an ad of theirs, yet the bundle isn't on the site yet.
If true, that means the set of joy con is basically $20! That's a damn steal!
@TheFatPlumber From the looks of it, those 'Switch My Nintendo Rewards' were a sham and the 'get gold points for purchases that you can use on the eShop' took the place of that.
It feels like my soul just got shattered since both Shantae and Isaac make 'less than' cameos(the latter being an assist trophy, and the psynergy choice they gave him is not exactly what I expected, but I s'pose it's interesting).
That pretty much rules them out as possible DLC, which means I have nothing to even hope to look forward to....
So....I guess I'll just be playing offline like I mostly do anyways? What exactly is worth $20 here? Well this was a huge waste of time expecting good to come out of it, though not surprising since they punish people who buy physical games and what with My Nintendo being crap and all...
All this holding cards to their chests for nothing? Wth... >_>
Ah well...extra $20 staying in my pocket I s'pose.
Right now I placed Okami on the back burner because I just finished Octopath right before Little Dragon's Cafe released yesterday. Have to pick up my copy today, so in the meantime I've been playing Riptide GP Renegade a bit more.
This was a great surprise. Def probably getting Day 1, as I loved the first and Wolfenstein. The Switch has garnered interest in these kinda games from me and so I'm definitely in support of Bethesda!!
This is how I feel about Super Mario Maker, tbh. Even though they have some things left out, it almost feels like any further games in the 'new' series or whatever are redundant, even if they could introduce ideas. Maybe it's just me though...
As far as Smash goes, he still has a point. We'll never hear the end of it anytime a character is omitted from now on... ๐ถ
Y's, Wolfenstein, Runbow, and Crash Bandicoot for me(I'll take a gander at the other stuff). Good grief there's so much piling up, and with Octopath right around the corner... ๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ฐ Haha. This summer is pretty much on lockdown.
Neurovoider is one for me, being particularly addicting. It has that 'one...more...time' if I mess up a lil. I also want to get back into One More Dungeon soon enough.
Oxenfree is also bae. ๐
@milliag I have been liking Riptide GP Renegade a lot since I got to finally start properly playing it, after having gotten it a ways back.
@The_Pixel_King I frickin love Tumbleseed! That game got on my last... damn... nerve when I initially got it, but it grew on me and I got addicted for a lil.
Am I the only person who is liking this game? It's been enjoyable thus far to me.
I can see some of the issues described in the review as far as, say, attacking goes, but it doesn't seem to be as 'awkward' on controls as it's made out to be and, while it isn't as changing a mechanic as it probably could be, I find the season changing to be amusing(like changing to Winter to have an eel that's jumped out of the water crash onto the ice that's made when it's frozen, thus causing it to splatter xD).
The only big gripe I can totally agree on is price, because I can see why it'd be hard to stomach spending $20 on it(particularly considering length of game), but, eh, I used some credit I had to get it between $10-15 pretty much.
@Bonus-Level
@OnBeingHuman I'd say if anyone is still interested enough, especially if they do put it on sale fairly on, take the dive. It's still a pretty charming game imo.
Fox N Friends. I wasn't too sure I'd like it at first, but it's starting off fairly well actually. Gotta work this weekend outta nowhere, so that's all I'll probably focus on.
Is...is that an orange plushie I see?! ๐ป๐ป Considering the Best Buy gamer's club discount, it's only $64 for this, which is a few bucks above retail price anyways, so definitely interested!
Have kept my eye on this game and hope it turns out for the best.
Bayonetta 2 is probably gonna eat up most of the free time that I actually have, since I finished the first not too long ago(which I loved), but I've also been trying to get the hang of The Escapists 2, which has been a little tricky of a start.
@Untempered-Link Yeah, seeing Kamiko so high up altogether caught me by surprise, though the game -is- definitely great value for the price! Loved it. (-:
@Agramonte Loving the odd Fast RMX love here, and that it placed well. ^.^
I've loved this game since I started playing and do so in my free time. It can be a lil difficult to make it through efficiently at points without guidance though, as noted above. :3
@aaronsullivan Idk what it is but looking at One More Dungeon leaves me with a silly grin and I'm thinking of downloading it. x.X The price doesn't seem like it'd hurt much. Have you checked it out since it is one of the ones you highlight in your post?
@Zach777 Dang... I'm not far behind you with 25 Switch games myself. (shakes fist) Not to mention I've had some on my radar that I haven't picked up yet but plan to in the coming weeks.
And to think we're only 9 months into its life... This is actually the first console I've gotten exactly on launch that I recall. It's...a black...hole...
@flapjack-ashley With WWE 2k18 on the horizon and the shenanigans with LA Noire and DOOM, I may just future proof myself with a 200gb sd in this sale. I buy retail but dang it does the odd 3rd party that requires extra space catch my eye! And we still have a few months before the first year of the console is up, so... x.X
@Agramonte I saw that FIFA 18 will be $30(half off), too, and it caught my attention.
@crackafreeze I like it to people watch, heh, especially the mall. ๐ It can be pretty entertaining... I may find myself a thing or two, but usually I wait a lil more and check out Cyber Monday stuff personally.

I'm glad I waited on Super Mario Party now, because this is a steal, and my original joy con have been acting funky.

Re: Nintendo Download: 12th July (North America)
I'm picking up the wayfarer's edition of Octopath Traveler, but can't start until I finish Ys Viii! Looks like my gaming time is occupied for now. D:
I'm also tempted to give Captain Toad a proper try and gonna check out what folks have to say about Super Volley Blast.

Re: Review: Super Toy Cars (Switch eShop)
Well this...sucks because it's looked like it could be great fun until now and it's one of those smaller titles I had kept my eye on somewhat.
Hell, it may be something down the road that I still download for the novelty, like 36 Fragments of Midnight. :V
Re: Nintendo Download: 1st March (North America)
I'm probably gonna grab Outlast and potentially Detention.
Super Toy Cars has an amusing name and looks kinda interesting, but I dunno for now.
