I picked this up on Steam shortly after release and can't recommend it enough. If you think you might like this game, chances are you will. I'll be buying it again on the Switch as it's perfect for short, pick and play sessions.
I've been looking forward to Gonner for awhile. I picked it up on Steam awhile back and stopped playing once I saw it was headed to the Switch. This is a definite double purchase for me.
Looks great. I'm eagerly awaiting a western localization with save transfer from Generations... I really don't feel like grinding all those Deviant monsters again.
@NintySnesMan Really? I tried that game for awhile and it just seemed like a poor man's MH. It was way too easy and the combat just felt clunky. Glad you like it though.
I actually thought this game was pretty good. The drops in FPS weren't too bad in handheld mode for most of the game. But I switched to dock mode for the final level and wow! It wasn't even playable, then the game crashed on me. This definitely doesn't seem like it was ready to release on the Switch, but actually had a decent enough time playing it. The combat was fun. If the game ran smooth I'd give it a 7-8.
I bought the game and have been having a good time with it despite the drops in FPS, which can be really bad, but still playable. However, after reading the devs response I regret my purchase. I really want to support all the indie developers on Switch, but responses like this are going to turn a lot of people away.
I have this on Steam, but if it's priced reasonably I'll pick it up for the Switch. It's only $10 on Steam and can usually be found cheaper during a sale.
I'm looking forward to some indie game release dates. I'm really hungering for more games on the Switch. I'm looking forward to getting Mr. Shifty tomorrow, but I'd like to see a Hollow Knight release date.
I'm hoping this update stops the Switch from sending signals to my TV when it's in sleep mode. This is really frustrating and I have to keep undocked if I'm watching TV or playing the PS4 due to the TV switching to a black screen.
I've played the hell out of every Soulsborne game and would happily throw down more money for the chance to play any FromSoftware game on the Switch. Even DS2!
It's crazy that this doesn't have a headphone jack? $70?!!! How am I supposed to play games on my TV when everyone is asleep? What kind of world are we living in?
Man, the combat looks so clunky. Why does it slow down so much when you're making contact? I don't know if I'm just getting old, (and I always enjoy Zelda games when I'm playing them) but this just looks really childish.
Great article. It sounds like they've reworked the crafting to cut down on some of the grinding - let's hope it's enough! That's really my only gripe with this game.
Looks good. I just started playing Strider. If anyone missed out on that I highly recommend it for someone looking to scratch that 2D Metroidvania itch. It's on sale for $5 on Steam.
If NintendoLife gives a Nintendo IP an 8, that's usually a sign the game isn't very good. I'd say I'd pick this up when it goes on sale, but with Nintendo that means I'll save $5.

Re: Review: GoNNER (Switch eShop)
@Alucard83 simple graphics don't make them bad. I think this game is very appealing visually.

@manu0 ...you poor misguided fool
Re: Monster Hunter Stories Will Roar Onto 3DS in Europe on 8th September
@JaxonH I'm not boycotting this game because they're not localizing XX. I'm just not buying it because it looks lame. Chill out man.
I'm very excited for MH World and looking forward to the new direction this game is headed.
Re: Monster Hunter Stories Will Roar Onto 3DS in Europe on 8th September
no localization of XX but we get this? what a bummer
Re: Review: Cave Story+ (Switch)
This is a great game but I already own 3 versions of it.

A 9 seems too high for this game, but I'm glad some of you like it.

@gatorboi352 ok. no one cares

Re: Video: It Looks Like The Controversial Fire Hopping Trick Has Been Removed From Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
this is great news. I was on the fence about purchasing this version, but this sold me. I'm looking forward to dominating the online arena.
Re: Mr. Shifty Devs Tackling Frame Rate Issues After Initially Suggesting You Should Pick Steam Over Switch

Re: Nintendo Download: 13th April (North America)
I'm downloading Mr. Shifty right now. I'm really looking forward for something else to play on the Switch other than Zelda and Shovel Knight.

Re: Poll: What Wii U Ports Would You Like to Play on Nintendo Switch?
Smash Bros. for me. I've played everything else I wanted to on the WiiU and don't really want to play them again.
Re: Feature: One Month of Nintendo Switch - Five Improvements We Want to See
All I want is more games!
Re: Nintendo Switch OS Version 2.1.0 is Now Live
I'm hoping this update stops the Switch from sending signals to my TV when it's in sleep mode. This is really frustrating and I have to keep undocked if I'm watching TV or playing the PS4 due to the TV switching to a black screen.

I've been reading that some reviewers have had some issues with the left Joy Con getting out of sync. Have you guys had any issues?
Re: Battle Princess Madelyn To Bring Classic Ghouls 'n Ghosts Action To Switch
looks pretty rad!
Re: Feature: 10 Essential Wii U And 3DS Platformers
Good list. I'd add Cave Story for the 3ds and Guacamelee! for the WiiU.
Re: Yoshi's Woolly World Will Soften Up Your 3DS In 2017, Poochy amiibo Also Incoming
@NESlover85 It's basically the same game.
I'm looking forward to the NX so Nintendo will stop selling us the same game twice.
Re: Reggie Fils-Aime Reveals 'New Galaxy Style' New Nintendo 3DS XL, Out in North America This Week

Re: Darksiders is Coming to Wii U

Re: Listing Points to Darksiders Heading to Wii U
I'll pass. I liked the 2nd for a few hours then got bored with it.
Re: Review: Monster Hunter Generations (3DS)
Great review. I'm looking forward to hunting with you all soon!
Re: Video: Digital Foundry Produces Extended Breath of the Wild Technical Analysis
Man, the combat looks so clunky. Why does it slow down so much when you're making contact? I don't know if I'm just getting old, (and I always enjoy Zelda games when I'm playing them) but this just looks really childish.
Re: FAQ: The GamePad Screen is, Tellingly, Largely Redundant in Breath of the Wild's Demo
is this game going to have off-tv play?
Re: Nintendo NX Has A Core Idea Which Doesn't Just "Follow Advancements In Technology", Claims Miyamoto
I think it's going to be centered around playing cards and board games.
Re: Preview: Over-Sized Swords and Athletic Finesse in Monster Hunter Generations
Great article. It sounds like they've reworked the crafting to cut down on some of the grinding - let's hope it's enough! That's really my only gripe with this game.
Re: Review: Dual Core (Wii U eShop)
looks good. if it gets "off tv play" i'll buy this one.
Re: E3 2016: Monster Hunter Generations Demo is Announced and Available Now (Sort Of)
The Humble Bundle codes are up and running and only $4 if you're desperate. I just picked one up and I'm starting the demo now (I'm in NA).

@GameOtaku I'm glad you like FF Explorers, but everyone knows MH is a much better game. It's a fact, look it up.
Re: E3 2016: Monster Hunter Generations Demo is Announced and Available Now (Sort Of)
Hype! After a good break from MH4U (and my 3ds) I think I'm ready to hunt some more monsters.
Re: E3 2016: Full Title Of Wii U And NX Legend Of Zelda Revealed
looks good. I'm looking forward to seeing more of the combat. the bits in the video looked a little clunky.
Re: Video: Check Out This Early Footage of Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night
Looks good. I just started playing Strider. If anyone missed out on that I highly recommend it for someone looking to scratch that 2D Metroidvania itch. It's on sale for $5 on Steam.
Re: Poll: NX and Mobile Make This a Defining Year for Nintendo - Are You Optimistic?
