And yet, instead of hiring more staff, Epic gets reported for exploiting their workers... wow

Wanted to recommend Ys VIII and saw that others already did the good deed.

@Toshiro_Baloney You know, the Switch is portable and thus could be at spots where you simply can't log in and thus play the game...

For those that suggest to play Bloodstained on another console. Unfortunately I don't have that luxury. Also what is wrong with expecting a non-flawed version, especially after they said that the PAX version they showed had had issues due to heating issues.

The problem seems to have been clear for them and they chose to deceive about it. They shipped out other versions and held the Switch version back to angle for more amicable reviews.

So yeah, I am expecting them to fix this and rather in a timely manner.

Well, the trailer with no gameplay whatsoever was already a major red flag.

Well, seems I still wait a couple more patches in and pick it probably up at a sale for a reduced price.

ALL THE YES! So looking forward to that!

Shiny! I really want that!

preordered this for around 45,00 €, which is a better deal than the coupons :3.

On my list are

• The Messenger
• Shining Resonance REFRAIN

But I am also debating picking up TRAVIS STRIKES BACK for the price of admission, or Owlboy; but there are soooo many more gems... and than I might just get Fire Emblem... ;___;

@BlueOcean @DannyBoi

This and the removed functions from the baked in controllers.

This is great for Nintendo and Devs alike.

1) You have a cheaper entry point for those that don't liek / need to play on a TV
2) It's a dedicated handheld and I assume with the controlers baked in and HD rumble and motion sensors removed, this will probably have a better battery endurance
3) It still has access to most / all of the switch titles.

The thing that will be good for Nintendo and Devs alike will be, they can bury the 3DS and don't need to fiddle with extra SKUs.

Currently I enjoy and play SMB3 with a friend, as she disclosed she regretted to never finish the game on her own. The other thing that is holding me towards this service is the discount, but if you factor in that you only save 20,00 € when you buy those games brand new and online it just subsidizes the cost if a service I hardly use for the online functions.

If they add a SNES library, I probably wouldn't stick around, but currently the service will run out as is and I already deactivated the auto renewal.

This seems to be more a comment about them not handing out their IPs like candy or licensing; think Star Wars. It does not close the door for stuff like Cadence of Hyrule or something else.

How many devs suffered this time to make this, and many crossovers before, happening?

Okay, this video brings the game back on my radar, still got the demo of the game on my Switch.

Hopefully your review is coming soon that will reflect and adress it. Currently all the sales run rampant on the back of the good reviews for PS4 and XboXOne. Would be happy if you step up and adress this situation...

All the poor souls that are getting Bloodstained after the rave reviews for PS4 and XboxOne will be left with a sour taste... hopefully Nintendolife will soon release a review that also refelcts the poor state the Switch version is in...

Since Bloodstained is off my list, at least for now, I might pick up Graveyard Keeper.

@retro_player_22 I'd say they should review as is and point out the glaring mistakes... other games probably won't get the benefit of a "patch later" treatment and I think after all the glowing praise Switch owners should get an honest picture and a review that reflects the current state before they buy in.

Well, I just cancelled my physical copy of the game. I figure by the time it is properly fixed, the news cycles will inform me and I might get the game on a serious discount in top of that, though more likly this will be digital.

Was looking forward to this one, because the glowing reviews of the other versions...

It's a shame though, because I wanted to gift one version to a friend...

tbh, since I already want this and luigi's mansion, I am heavily thinking about getting a Nintendo voucher. Given that Nintendo games don't come with astsonomical filesizes, so going digital is even more enticing.

Still not impressed by what Capcom is bringing to the Switch. If someone gets the kick out of this release, I am happy for you; but I still want to bring Capcom new experiences...

Heck... a new entry in Zack & Wiki would be fine...

Oh yeah, this is my jam, more so than the actual new announced Frankenstein that is Contra: Rogue Corps...

Company protecting their IP. Nothing new here. Nothing unusual.

Here is hoping for a spooky october release.

Also I do commend Nintendo for such a move that should be basic around devs (but is not). That's also how they get their quality titles; because you can't bring your A game, when you can't rest or have to worry if you are not on team crunch you will be laid off.

Sure, Nintendo still put some pressure on with showing the game, but they also postponed Animal Crossing that was slated for 2019 to 2020, so I would not put that beyond them, in case of need.

However, they pretty much showed already a slew of contetn from Luigi's Mansion without any big bugs and I guess Next Level games just applies polish right now, or go bug splatting...

@retro_player_22 Just a guess. I guess the devs are also not happy with this situation. I assume they will be more diligent in the future .

For Nintendo this makes sense, since their E³ presence is not the Direct, but the three day Tree House stream where they can showcase and talk in depth of all the games, sometimes showing a game multiple times. This is great since people get to see more than a trailer or they can show more gameplay and talk about small tidbits and quirks, that could not be shown on the direct, due to time constraints.

These overreactions. Again:

1) Either update before playing... or
2) Finish before updating...or

probably wait for 1.03

@XBontendo Well if that is the case, Switch owners won't see a lot of new games from Capcom as the reportedly said that they want to use this engine for more games... Not gonna cry over spilled milk, but also not gonna support them with my cash if they can't be bothered to make the effort.

I don't think Capcom will be loosing any sleep over my personal decision, given by the success of those titles.

There can always be the chance for dedicated titles, but given the onslaught of ports so far I am not holding my breath there.

While I do lament not being in a situation to play those titles, I would also admit that other companies give me cool experiences and Astral Chain at least will probably scratch the DmC itch, the same goes for the still upcoming Bayo 3.

Seems easy enough to avoid if you always try to update your game before starting it. I'd I read this correctly you are either fine if you use the version as is and finish without an update or start a new game after the update... a bit meh, that they can't easily fix this, but with the heads up, there won't be any bad surprises...

Three Switch exclusive games in the Top 1p sounds good to me

Yay, finally Capcom brought Devil May Cry V to t... oh, they still are not in a hurry to port their newest outing and RE2 Remake to the Switch, despite the Switch even able to handle Witcher 3 now... guess I won't buy this one...

You haven’t been given the building blocks to create the next instalment of a decades-old gaming classic – you’ve been given the tools to create an obscure bootleg platformer on an AliExpress Famiclone, or the free game on the cover disk of the March 1992 edition of ‘Amiga Conquest’.

I think this is so important to the success of Super Mario Maker. You don't just create a platformer, you create levels for most / all the periods of the 2D Mario franchise... one of the most iconic franchises and all that not with ripper resources, but officially endorsed by Nintendo with every other fan being able to play your level...

I def. like the immediacy of how Nintendo handled the E³. It is way better than other showcases of a promise next year. Though granted, they can afford that, as they cultivated the direct for years and even if they would not sweep the floor, people know that there can be an announcement coming in soon ;p.

@NintendoByNature For this, use the Fixed-Beat option.

Also, I would lie, if I would say the start did not give me any troubles, though once it clicks, it feels so rewarding.

@Snakesglowcaps In that case use the Fixed-Beat mode. You can still try to play quick or play to the rythm, but the punishment won't be as hard... and since the enemies won't move until you do, you can take a break here and there.

@nessisonett Hope you soon can hum to the tracks that are inlcuded in this title, when you got enough rupees to say HYAAT YAT HYAAA HYAT (Read: I can buy this title now!).

I hope with the abundance of favorable reviews, Nintendo will feel boldened to see what it can do with other (dormant) IPs to add more unique gameplay experiences to the Switch library.

I binged this game, once I got my hands-on and I really love it and not one moment of my playthrough felt annyoing.

For me this is truly unique and I guess this just shows, why Nintendo was so happy to have their IP be touched by Brace Yourself Games (I gather Nintendo gave input, too), they saw the raw potential and Cadence of Hyrule - Crypt of the Necrodancer feat. the Legend of Zelda is a fresh spin than more a new coat.

For those wondering, you can save anywhere, so it is also absolutely save to play in short burts when you commute.

I can safely recommend this game, even if the asking price is a bit high for a (short, but replayable) indie game.

Will get Cadence of Hyrule, partially since I am REALLY intrigued and on the other hand I also want to show Nintendo that they should def. experiment with the IP and have it transformative.

For example, F-Zero for example can be something like Double Dragon Neo or Viewtoful Joe with the Smash history of Captain Falcon and that there is actually a story to it...

I mean with the more or less freshly announced Astral Chain that is right around the corner, Nintendo would be mad moving the limelight to Bayonetta 3. I guess we will hear more from Bayonetta once Astral Chains is in the stores.

@Pandaman I know it's too early to say for a hands on and I don't know if you got to try this feature out, but how easy was it to save? So far a lot of the titles that had been dedicatedly developed for Switch (esp. for Nintendo) had easy ways to quickly save inbetween. I want to make sure that even here the "play anywhere" mantra can be even applied with small and short commutes...

@BakaKnight I think it was the same during christmas...

Heads-Up, oddly enough Nintendo lists the Shantae Half-Genie Hero Ultimate Edition in their promotional blog on Switch and the eShop landing page for the sale lists the Shantae Half-Genie Hero Ultimate Edition but without the discount. I guess somebody goofed up by composing the blog post on the Switch.

Personally, I was completely let down. Don't get me wrong, Nintendo still managed to throw a lot of left hooks and there are some games that went on my radar because of this direct. Though most of them I heard from before. I think the most genuine surprise for me came from the actual Trials of Mana remake.

While I loved the added information for Luigi's Mansion 3 and Astral Chain, both of them have been revealed so far. The same was for Dragon Quest XI.

What surprised me, was that Cadence of Hyrule was relegated to the normal thursday release, instead of a download now, but maybe they wanted to give Square-Enix some extra marketing space, as it seems that this dev is slowly getting onto the Switch train.

Though I have to admit the Breath of the Wild sequel announcement did nothing for me, as this was now the third game in the The Legend of Zelda IP that got featured on this direct only.

I still miss many dormant IPs like the often clamored F-Zero and it would have been nice if Nintendo had something in the oven for this or other seemingly forgotten franchises.

Also interesting was, that Bayonetta 3 was missing, but this was probably done by design, to give Astral Chain more time in the limelight.

Despite my lack of joy over this direct, I still believe it was a smart move to show the games selected for various reason. A curious tidbit that apart from Luigi's Mansion and Pokémon, everything had a release date that did not exceed the end of September, so they probably want to ship those games first, especially with Nintendo not reliant on the E³ or anything similar for more announcements.

So, while this E³ was not exactly for me and I had not been blown away, I hope all of you others are happy gamers and look forward to the multitude of titles.

I am torn about the Direct. On the one hand there where some pleasant surprises, like the remake for Trials of Mana. Some where not for me, but I at least could appreciate that those are meaningful and awaited games for other people, like No More Heroes III, or the reveal of Banjoo Kazooie for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Though with the absence of beloved games for me, like F-Zero, but showcasing three different The Legend of Zelda titles, including one being revealed to be in development instead was a bit stingy; while I get that the The Legend of Zelda up his a hit thing, but there are so many beloved and dormant IPs, that I wished they showed something different in the end...

Well, the Trials of Mana remake came out of the blue and I am interested. That Collection of Mana... I'd rather have just the Secret of Mana remake please...

A new F-Zero entry, it could be even a small arcadelike download title that brings for example the Snes Version with updated graphics.

And CADENCE OF HYRULE available NOW!

Also, starting 4 PM, I will evict myself from the internet until 9 PM, because I won't be able to tune in the direct when it's due and I want to be completely floored...

Well, while the rumor was exciting to speculate it was a bit of a let down learning the truth. However I would need to be honest that the rumor was outlandish and while I was disappointed not seeing Shiggy stealing the show, at least I had some fun on the stream and I am more than primed come tomorrow...

@Kalmaro Don't worry, I understood . Just did not want to not get nasty
