Mine says "shipping now" so we'll see, hopefully I don't get screwed!

Im hyped about weird stuff that probably won't get talked about here: Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin, Minecraft Dungeons, and Shovel Knight Dig immediately come to mind. Oh yeah, and Genshin Impact, that looks dope.

@Dayton311 You'll be glad you did, it's a rad game. A little tough in spots but I enjoyed the hell out of it.

@Toshiro_Baloney Stay tuned, I'm checking it out for my review super soon.

Pretty broad strokes here but I'm down for whatever it might be!

Bring it back, make it rad, done.

Super Crush K.O. has become my favorite over all of the ones on the list, ever the outlier indeed.

I'm just stoked it's coming in 11 days, this is the kind of game I like to discover for myself anyway. Can't wait!!!

This is the best fighting game I've ever played, it's absolutely stunning in motion and the accessibility is REAL. I sucked at fighting games til I checked this out, and then I immediately picked up BlazBlue Central Fiction, Guilty Gear XX Accent Core +, and Dragon Ball FighterZ. Totally changed my perspective on fighting games.

@Kirby_Girl Yeah, I really want to give it another shot- I just remember getting SO frustrated with it that i had to put it down. We'll see, it's a beautiful game and I love the vibe, maybe my nerves are a little better now lol.

I quit playing this cause it got HARD as hell but I may have to give it another shot, it's gorgeous and I wanted to like it more than I did.

I've just always gotten the most joy out of Nintendo consoles. I've had fun with others but the Switch is really just amazing to me- it came at a time when I needed video games back in my life and it fits my crazy-ass lifestyle cause it can go wherever I go. There are more powerful consoles, edgier games, whatever- but I stick with Nintendo because I feel like the love is there, and I feel like they really DO try to make products that have an emotional connection to as many people as possible. It goes beyond processing power for me.

Ever the outlier, I'm enjoying the absolute hell out of this game lol!

Yesterday, it was announced to his manager that Paul would be leaving his post as cook/drive-thru at Arby's #362 in Midtown. His mission to serve "sorta beef" to the world has changed and we wish him well as he pursues taking a semester off to "find himself".

SUPER stoked on this one, been wondering when it would finally surface!

@PhilKenSebben Aww shucks! Yeah, this one really nails the retro vibes/modern feel thing and once you get the hang of the jetpack it's off to the races. Totally recommend this one, plus it'll last you a while and it's pretty cheap!

@The_Pixel_King That's super rad man, VERY much appreciated!!!

Fantastic game, glad to see it getting a little more coverage!

Christ I'm stoked for this.

I might be biased towards things with two G's, but I'm ALWAYS down for what these guys are up to.

@PhilKenSebben me too, but the amount of damage I can inflict with that other 10% is nothing short of legendary.

@PhilKenSebben Just can't play nice, can ya?

This looks rad, you have my attention for sure!

@The_Pixel_King Yeah man, it's definitely not a 6. I love it too!

@MaxlRoseGNR True story!

@Krull Boom.

@sanderev Yeah, I get it. Small teams and low budgets happen, but it's more the ARTSTYLE I'm talking about. Hollow Knight was essentially two dudes and a composer, Dead Cells was made by a small dev team/anarchist collective, and Thomas Happ made Axiom Verge by himself. I think these shovelware games are made by people who know that uninformed consumers will click and buy, thus generating revenue for more shovelware. It's insidious, it's almost anti-art.

@Cotillion Yes, exactly this.

@Moshschocker Like I said, MY opinions-not downing yours.

I'm just over the DLC/microtransactions thing across the board. Too much crap to keep up with, never feeling like games are fully complete when I buy them- I get WHY they do it I guess, but I can't pretend I don;t miss when you went and bought a game and it was fully cooked.

I will never understand why people make games like this.

I'm not one to complain so this is just my 100% honest opinion- I'm really not a huge fan of how they've handled this so far. The truth is, I really don't see why they don't just bring back Virtual Console and be done with it. This drip-feed of old games just isn't something I'm real jazzed about, and for ME- the mechanics of NES games and most of the SNES games just don't do it anymore. There's no scenario in which I'm playing Super Mario Kart on SNES Online when I have the Switch version instead. All the games I DO want probably won't happen too (Axelay, ActRaiser, Illusion of Gaia, etc.) so it's just kind of "meh" to me. I keep paying for it so I can play online when I occasionally want to but let's be honest- it's not nearly as good of a value as PSN or GamePass.

I'm also not a "die-hard" retro gamer, so I'm sure this stuff is great for those folks, my tastes have just shifted to more modern mechanics so I just can't really get into this stuff. I'd rather they do something similar to GamePass where we get a few big titles and access to a bunch of indies every month or, again, throw the Virtual Console back up.

Just my opinions though, not intending to have an argument or anything. Figured I'd throw my 2 cents into the conversation.

@PhilKenSebben I didn't know the "ARC Phase" was a thing, but if it IS I am definitely very deep inside of it right now. No, YOU made that sound dirty.

Looks rad, but this is almost ALWAYS the kind of thing i play for about 20 minutes, get pissed off, and then never touch again.

I'm not usually a huge fan of these but I gave this a shot last night. Played the tutorial and the first mission. I gotta say, I really enjoyed it- it looks great, seems to run smoothly, and the action & gameplay were pretty fantastic. We'll see how it holds up and if the microtransaction crap gets in the way but so far, so good.

Hell yeah, I've been keeping up with this one on Twitter and just asked the dev not too long ago if it would be coming to Switch so I'm STOKED big-time for this one.

@PhilKenSebben As soon as you can I'd absolutely make this one of the next things you pick up. Before I played a Diablo game I THOUGHT the combat would be like a hack and slash from the top down but its a little more "deliberate" and slow-ish. THIS is what I wanted Diablo 3 to be, fast and fluid, dungeon crawling awesomeness. I love it, I'm just trying to pepper it into my rotation but I'm ALSO currently obsessed with Arc System Works fighters (working on an article) out of nowhere so those kinda own me at the moment lol.

I'm enjoying it so far, it's really fun, not too serious, and the perfect thing to just chill with for a couple hours. Muy bueno.

I'm loving it so far, no real issues for me and Darksiders combat is the f'ing best.

Working on reviews of a few of these and purely for my own consumption I have Snack World and Darksiders Genesis arriving tomorrow!

@Dirty0814 I’ve also spent about 27 hours in the game so far, so I think that more than qualifies me as an “actual player”. My reviews are honest, unpaid, and done with integrity to help the community find good games. Will there be anything else?

@Dirty0814 Completely untrue, I’m notifying them of bugs to help them squash them before launch. I’m not getting paid a dime, but you are free to believe what you want. My credentials are solid.

@phunnbaba I’m pretty sure these lovely people wouldn’t want me promoting my site here, I have a link in my profile though.

It’s not up yet, I do multi-game feature articles so this one should be up next week!

Guys, DON'T sleep on this one. It's made by a small team, it doesn't have the most polished looks, but the game is 100% fun and it plays great. It's a little rough around the edges but I've been playing it for a review on my site and helping the dev fix a few things pre-launch and it's really a lot better than most people are gonna assume. I cosign this one 100%.

@The_Pixel_King Me too, can't all be winners I guess!

I was SECONDS away from buying this, and then I read those first reviews and was EXTREMELY glad I didn't.

@Aaron09 I WANTED to like Hollow Knight the most, and Shovel Knight is awesome- but Dead Cells is one of my favorite video games of all time, like top 3, so that's my take. It's just SUCH fluid and fun combat, I legit don't know if anyone will ever top it - And if Motion Twin keep supporting it nobody will NEED to lol!

@PhilKenSebben Me too! I'm still shocked I actually got TWO lol!

@John_Deacon Awesome, you're gonna love it!

These guys are a really great dev team, they're doing some things differently and I support them & respect the hell out of their work. This one wasn't for me, it's just not a play-style I enjoy- but it IS a great game and I'm consistently excited about what they're gonna do next. Mark my words, keep your eyes on these guys!
