Mouse support for CRPGs like Divinity: Original Sin 2 and Pillars of Eternity would be super cool. Speaking of, I wouldn't be that surprised if Larian brought Baldur's Gate 3 to Switch 2

I had the GBA version and loved it so much!

@tektite_captain I agree with you about stability being more important, but the difference between 30 and 60 fps is a noticeable one, especially in terms of how responsive a game feels.

@OctolingKing13 There are already people like that, and they are just as insufferable as you're imagining.

I love how they point out the tails, wings, and ears, but also Dragonite's little antenna things are just pointed at with "!!!"

@Glasso To be fair, I don't think anyone is claiming it's Switch footage

@Daniel36 I know right! None of my local stores had it in stock. The closest store was a GameStop that was about a 90 minute drive from where I live.

This looks like it could be a lot of fun. My wife and I are big fans of both Mario Party and Demon Slayer, so hopefully this delivers on the concept

@jolteon23 I'm like 15 hours into the game on PS5 and I would recommend it to anyone who is intrigued. Pretty sure there's a demo for it now, so definitely give that a spin if you're interested.

WH-WH-WHAT???? Amazing!! I was starting to think that an official localization was never going to happen!

Genuinely so excited for this. I played the original as a youngster and can't wait to bring my wife along for the ride this time around. Toad also happens to be her absolute favorite Mario character, so the coop mode couldn't be a better fit for us!

The only trade in I remember making was my DS Lite which was done to help me afford a DSi when those were brand new. It was a trade that I deeply regretted just a few days after getting the DSi.
As for buying preowned games, I don't see them as worth it if they're only a few bucks cheaper than a new copy. But if there's a really good deal I am perfectly content to pick up a used game. Only in-store though. I've been burned by used games purchased online through GameStop and now I try to avoid even looking at their website.

Recently picked the game up on PlayStation. Been having a blast with it despite musou games not usually being my cup of tea.
@LikelySatan - I would still recommend giving the demo a shot if you find the game intriguing. I think the pacing is handled really well as battles tend to be a lot smaller scale and don't last nearly as long as other musou I've tried. I can't speak to how it runs on Switch, but at least the demo will let you try it out for free.

I think it will be the Nintendo Clapper. Y'know, like the "Clap on. Clap off" light switches. Instead of the little sound effect that has represented the Switch, it will utilize a little double-clap sound effect to accompany the logo in promotional materials.
Oh, and if it wasn't obvious, the Nintendo Clapper can be turned on by clapping. I would say it could be turned off by clapping too, but that would be a nightmare. Maybe it clap off if you're on the home screen and it has been idle for more than a minute or something. Idk why I am putting so much thought into this...

If only the rest of the games were made available on Switch

Sephiroth without any doubt in my mind. Thanks in no small part to the music. I just love how up until the song starts there's really nothing that gives away who's about to be revealed.

I like the colors and the stormy background of the EU version, but the posing of Batman on the wire and the lighting on his model, specifically his head/face really bring it down for me.
The NA art isn't amazing or anything, but it doesn't do anything wrong to my eye, and I do appreciate that Batman slightly overlaps with the GBA banner on the side.

I really need to find the time to play more of this game

Another hit for the SteamWorld franchise?? Splendid!!

Now can we get an update on GBA games? I've been dying for a chance to play Golden Sun

@bluemage1989 I would love to see a Mad Mario game.

Oh wow! Nice! I've owned this on Steam for ages but never got very far. Having it on Switch will be very welcome!

@Anti-Matter If you haven't, you should probably read this website's review of the game. One of their only nitpicks was that it wasn't very challenging. I'm also fairly certain there aren't stage time limits anymore if that's what you're talking about with "time limitation."

I like OG better for the front-and-center Peach, but I actually like the updated facial expression on Martial Arts Peach

Kinda sounds like this man should be investigated for insider trading...

Well this is a fun surprise! I loved the game back when it first came out and this seems to be more than enough of a reason to revisit it!

Let's go!! I played this game to death back in the day! Looking forward to enjoying it again with my wife in tow!

"Confusion and angst" -They see the game devs as teenagers going through a phase. Even if they decide to cancel their runtime policy, I guarantee that will just be for the time being. They will 100% put the policy in place down the line, but they'll be smarter and more discrete about its implementation.

Looking forward to this one! I couldn't help but laugh out loud when the title dropped. I love it

I don't care what hoops I have to jump through, I will find a way to play this game. My wife and I are big fans of both Mario Party and Demon Slayer, so this is a match made in heaven for us!

Big Mario bullying the goombas is a nice touch for the NA in my opinion. I do like the EU/JP, Mario & Luigi synced up like they are is fun, but the spacing makes it feel a little weird to me, mostly because of how Luigi's foot looks squarely planted on Mario's back

I might give it a try since it is included with PlayStation Plus, but I bounced off of the demo back when that first hit Switch so I won't be forcing myself to stick with it if I'm still not feeling it

Can't wait to play Asylum and City on the toilet! I'm hopeful that Knight will run competently, but am expecting it to have numerous cutbacks to make it stable, so I'll stick to playing my PS4 copy of that one

Been meaning to finish Sparks of Hope. I guess it'll have to wait until the Rayman DLC comes out though. Between Midnight Suns and 2 Fire Emblem games (Engage and now GBA on NSO) my tactics/strategy itch is already being scratched pretty well.
I was really hoping Sparks of Hope would have grabbed me like the first game did. At a glance I thought the changes to combat would be brilliant and totally game changing, but the openness and freedom seems to have hurt the focus and balancing, which I am now realizing was so critical to Kingdom Battle's staying power for me.

I think the thing I am most excited about has got to be Super Mario RPG. Been meaning to play that one for a long time now, and the new coat of paint looks really good on it!
I've never really been a huge fan of 2D Mario games, but Wonder did grab my attention. The animation looks so much more charming than the New Super series, and I want a plushie of Elephant Mario yesterday.
Nice to see Peach is getting her own game! Looking forward to seeing what that turns out like!
Also, I don't think I'll be getting the Switch version, but Gloomhaven getting a release date is very welcome news, and that Star Ocean remake looks awesome!

Wahoo! Always a good day when a Direct is announced! And we don't even have to wait long for this one!!
Genuinely unsure of what to expect in terms of new announcements. I don't want to get my hopes up, but those Chrono Trigger remake rumors did get me excited....

@puddinggirl Good luck with that!

Nice! I've been wanting to try this one out!

@Spider-Kev The game doesn't have the best writing, with many people finding it to be outright bad in some cases, but the combat is genuinely excellent, and just about every review of the game will tell you so.
There are also plenty of us out here who enjoy card based combat. If you don't think that card based battles can be fun (I honestly get it, I used to think so too), I would recommend checking out Slay the Spire or SteamWorld Quest.

Well, that's a shame. I didn't have much faith the game would run very well on Switch without some major concessions, but still, it would have been cool if they could have made it work, and the lack of a Switch port means less people will have the opportunity to try it out. The game is absolutely worth picking up if you have another console for it though. The battle system is genuinely one of my favorites in recent memory!

@old-dad PS5 box says 8K because the console technically supports the output, or at least, it will at some point in the future. My understanding is that Sony has yet to enable true 8K output on the OS side of things since 8K monitors/tvs are far from common and only a handful of titles currently support anything above 4K, but the hardware does have the capability

I am going to enjoy opening chests with a full inventory

Tarrey Town has the best setup and payoff, but a personal favorite of mine is the one where the 3 scientist guys task you with finding evidence of why the Leviathans went extinct.

Got up early this morning to play a little bit before work! Only had about a half hour to I got through the field training and am all set to begin the story when I get home. Can't wait!

There goes my weekend!

Knew it!
This news might be enough for me to play with English voices for at least my first time through. When playing BotW I switched to Japanese voices as soon as I was able to. I trust my guy Matt to do Ganondorf justice though.

I personally am a fan of the new TotK design. At least in the artwork. I feel like I can't fully judge him until I have bested him in combat.
Anyway, to me the new design reads as less overtly evil in appearance, but he's still clearly a powerhouse and will wipe the floor with his enemies when push comes to shove. Like, he less outwardly hateful and angry, more patient, but ready to unleash either a flurry of blows, or maybe a single strike when and where it will be most effective. He looks more calculating, less fueled by emotion.

Could stand to finish my Master Mode playthrough, and finish the Master Sword Trials, but that I will be doing on normal mode

Very excited to finally give these games a try!

Can't wait to play this again. I have very fond memories playing it in my early childhood. Never had the chance to import Pokemon from any mainline games, so the default roster and all of its odd move sets will undoubtedly be a huge nostalgia trip for me this weekend.
To this day whenever I play an rpg with turn-based battles and there's a moment of downtime as the game lists off status effects or something, there's a pretty good chance that I'm saying to myself, "Sparks are flying in this heated battle!"
