Yeah, I don’t care about multiplayer, so I’ll still pick this up at some point, but what an odd omission. It’d be one thing if the Xbox/PS4 versions didn’t have it either, but why remove it from just the Switch version? Doesn’t make any sense.

I wouldn’t call 200,000 units in a quarter dead. Dying, certainly, but there’s a difference between dying and dead. Honestly, 200,000 units is a lot more than I would have expected them to sell.

@pattybean They weren’t when I wrote that comment. NL updates this list periodically.

@GrailUK You should have read the whole article, because it’s not even about the Switch Lite.

I, too, want to eat my stomach full with the best meat.

I know nothing about Professional Baseball Spirits 2019, but it seems weird to me that there is a Vita version of that game but no Switch version. Does that seem weird to anyone else?

@Kinpatsu I was just saying the other day that I could go for a good ol’ fashioned Nintendo-style drought. Even though the Switch is my only console, I still have a ridiculously large backlog.

@TempOr I had the same thought!

@ARPK And I didn’t play it on Vita or PS4, so I couldn’t tell you how the Switch version compares to those. I feel like I tend to be more forgiving of technical flaws than most people anyway, so you probably should take what I say with a grain of salt in general. I will say, Ys VIII on Switch has gone on sale in the past, but I don’t know how much of a discount it got.

@ARPK Badly optimized? I thought it looked and ran great. Not sure where you’re getting your information.

@Dirty0814 They’ve updated the list since I wrote that comment. Every Final Fantasy on the Switch is on the list now, which is as it should be.

At last, someone has made a spiritual successor to Final Fantasy Mystic Quest.

Always digitally.

@Dirty0814 Good! I’m glad somebody will enjoy these games. I plan to check them out, but I doubt I’ll play either for more than five minutes.

Okay, the rewind feature is sweet, but this month’s game selection just feels like they’re scraping the bottom of the barrel. Seems like it’s about time for Super NES games.

This video really highlights how fantastic the Switch’s library really is. There’s a lot of trash, of course, but that’s true of every console/platform. The sheer amount of good stuff massively outweighs the bad. Nintendo is really firing on all cylinders right now, and that’s great to see.

Ugh, I hope not. That’s right around the same time as Dragon Quest XI, and I just can’t even if those two games come out at the same time.

@DarthFoxMcCloud Even if you just play the story mode, it’s worth it. The story mode is brilliant. It’s pretty much all I’ve done, and I definitely feel like I got my money’s worth.

@Judal27 We’ll see. SMTV was announced a long time ago. I’m sure it’s still coming, but how much longer do we have to wait? I hope we look back at the end of the Switch’s lifecycle and are thrilled about the tremendous support Atlus has given it, but right now? It’s been over two years, and nothing. To say I’m concerned about Atlus is putting it lightly.

I bet if they put some games on the Switch, they might make some money. Just a thought.

Oh good, they added the rest of the Final Fantasies.

@Balta666 I tried the Witcher 2 a few years ago, and could only stand it for a couple of hours, but I put dozens of hours into the Witcher 3. I can’t wait to put a couple of hundred hours into it on the Switch.

I downloaded Collection of Mana, and I also downloaded The Last Remnant, which isn’t on your poll for some reason.

I don’t want to offer any judgment on this guy’s game, because I know nothing about it. I just want to say: there’s a lot of games on the eShop, y’all. And if Nintendo is out there saying no to games, and there’s still this many games? I don’t know, man. I just... there’s a LOT of games.

It’s almost like the name Atari is cursed. Every company it touches dies of stupidity.

There was never any question that this was going to be a lesser version from a technical standpoint. I’m still shocked it’s happening at all!

@SBandy Somebody found a page on Bandai Namco’s website that wasn’t supposed to be live yet that had all this information on it.

@Mgene15 lol I think my wife would be a little upset if I had a TV and a PS4 in the bathroom. But yes, technically you are correct.

@Mgene15 Buying a PS4 won’t help me play Persona 5 on the toilet.

Well that’s dumb.

@roadrunner343 Good to know. The problem I have with the term “roguelike” is the part where there’s a high probability of failure. I HATE failing.

@Rhaoulos Absolutely!

“Rogue-like card battler”. I can’t think of many phrases to describe a video game more likely to turn me off, but I’ll probably check this out someday anyway, since everyone keeps raving about how good it is.

@Sakisa Oh I agree that paying for a service gives you a right to expect more from that service, but at the same time, Nintendo has been very clear from the beginning what your $20 a year is going to get you. Feel free to complain, but don’t be surprised when nothing changes.

@Obitokamui64 That’s fair, but, like, people have been yelling at Nintendo for how they handle online multiplayer for over a decade now, and it hasn’t gotten any better, so I kinda feel like, you can keep yelling, but they ain’t gonna listen, so why bother?

I don’t say this to defend not being able to play with friends online in Super Mario Maker 2, because that is a stupid decision, but it seems pretty clear at this point that Nintendo simply doesn’t consider online a priority. I think we’d all be a lot happier if we accepted that.

I feel like you have to be really desperate for a JRPG to buy a Kemco game. They all look SO generic.

If this is real, I will absolutely flip my lid, but I do not believe for a second that it is real.

@Majora101 Not sure Ouya’s failure had anything to do with digital.

I understand not putting it on the cartridge, but it doesn’t make any sense to not put it out as a patch.

@Heavyarms55 True, but physical games can also be hard to find if they didn’t sell well initially. Try finding a copy of Panzer Dragoon Saga for a reasonable price, for example. Heck, I’ve tried to find a copy of Skies of Arcadia Legends recently, and they’re all 70 or 80 bucks. But I suppose that buying an expensive copy of a game is still better than not being able to buy the game at all.

I played this back on the GameCube and couldn't get into it. I might give it another shot on the Switch, but I'll wait for a sale on this one. $30 is too much for a game I've tried before and didn't like.

@Yasume Well, there’s a number of reasons. It mostly comes down to, I had the money, and I wanted it, so I bought it. Sure it’ll probably go on sale at some point, but I might not have the money for it then. I generally plan out my video game purchases months in advance; I rarely impulse-buy video games.

So I’ve known for at least a couple of months that I wanted to buy ACIII the day it came out. Maybe I would have rethought that if I’d read this review first, but probably not. I know I like ACIII (I’ve played it twice), and I have a higher tolerance for technical issues than most people.

Besides, I wanted to support Assassin’s Creed games on the Switch. III isn’t my favorite, but if it sells well, maybe Ubisoft will bring more AC games to the Switch.

In any case, if I buy it, I have it, and I can play it whenever I want. If I waited, and I got in the mood to play it, I’d have to make sure I had the money to buy it, and then download it and wait. This way, it’s on my Switch, ready for me whenever I’m ready for it.

Plus, I like supporting the people who make video games, and buying games for full price as soon as they come out is a good way to do it.

So there, like I said. Lots of reasons.

Oops, I already bought it. Oh well, maybe it’ll get a patch before I actually get around to playing it.

Oh man, this game is real good. Not sure if I’m going to buy it again, though, because it’s also very much a game where, once you’ve played it, you’ve played it, and there’s no real reason to go back. But if anyone here hasn’t played it yet, you really should! It’s fantastic!

@NintendoByNature You’re welcome.

@NintendoByNature I played it yesterday, and I used the guide on strategywiki.org. I liked that one cause it had maps, which were extremely helpful.

@Mugen80 Oh, trust me, I have. I know full well that Simon’s Quest requires a guide. That definitely should be held against it when assessing its quality. That said, I maintain that it is still a good game. It’s mechanically sound, the music and graphics are great... As long as you have some help with the absurdly obtuse puzzles, there’s no reason you shouldn’t have fun with it.

@N8tiveT3ch Lucidsound LS30

@StarViruZ Lucidsound LS30. I don’t think they make them anymore, but there are other wireless headsets that work with the Switch, including, weirdly enough, Sony’s official PlayStation wireless headsets. They have an adapter that plugs into a USB port, so you can only use them in docked mode, but I don’t mind using wired headphones when I’m playing in handheld mode.
