I think this is the fastest I've seen NL get some 'news' out there.
I'm so ready for this Direct. So many people/'leakers' saying it's happening... now this. Don't know what to believe. Please, Nintendo, put us out of our misery!
I have an iPhone 5S just recently (a hand me down as I broke my 4S), and was happy to finally be able to play this without it crashing every time I throw a ball. I don't want to update to iOS 11 though, so I won't be playing. Kills my battery anyway.
If you've got to hold up the controller anyway, what's the point? I suppose using this with split joycon in each hand might work, but this is possibly the silliest thing I've seen all year. Bravo!
I thought I'd become fairly sensitive to poor frame rates, but I played the demo and didn't really notice anything too bad. It was an alright game, but not one I'm in any rush to play.
There are so many good games on the Switch right now that a 7/10 game is gonna have to be a lot cheaper than £18 to grab my attention. If heavily discounted, then possibly. But as it stands..? Nope, not right now.
@JayJ I kinda see where you're coming from. Binding of Isaac has poo and blood and stuff, which are admittedly a bit gross. It also has some religious overtones, which could be considered distasteful, I guess!
To me though, it ultimately comes down to it being a fantastic game. Isaac is a masterpiece, and is endlessly fun to me. I just bought EtG, so I'm hoping it's as good!
If this is a cash grab, then what was that Street Fighter 2 for Switch? Seems like Capcom are just milking the Switch for all it's worth and not producing any original content for the system at all. :/
Enjoyed chatting with you in the livestreams from time to time! You really felt approachable and made Nintendo Life feel a bit less like a website and more just a cool place to hang out. Thanks for your contributions, and good luck with your future endeavours.
No chance will I be buying this for £35 when I could get it for £15 on PlayStation. I will just skip it altogether for now, and maybe get it second hand or something.
@JaxonH Thanks man. I heard that the Japanese version was physical but I can't find a proper source on it. As disappointing as that is, I'm still happy I get to play the game.
Well... yeah it'd be great. But there's no microphone on the Switch... or slot in the Joy-Con/Pro Controller to plug one in. So basically, it's not going to happen.
I've somehow never played any of these games (being mostly a 3DS player last gen), now's my chance.
I think though - How can Platinum Games ever release Bayonetta games on anything else? 2 and 3 are Nintendo exclusive, and I can't see that changing because they basically paid for them to be made. I think they should work something out to make it a Nintendo IP. Ninty 'needs more mature games', so why not secure Bayonetta?!
I played the previous entries on 3DS. Very, very bad, but worth some laughs with download play. Seeing as this has no download play and is MUCH more expensive than the 3DS games... it's a big 'No' from me.

Re: Praise The Sun! Dark Souls: Remastered Is Coming To Switch This May
Tried it on Xbox and couldn't get into it. To be fair I did the same with DOOM, but loved that on Switch. I'll give it another go.
Re: Nintendo Direct Hype Is Slowly Turning The Internet Insane
I couldn't believe it when Nintendo posted that Chibi Robo pic...
...and they STILL haven't said anything. lol. Can't wait for this Direct, though.

Re: Pokémon GO Is Dropping Support For Older iPhones

Re: Nintendo Download: 4th January (Europe)
Phew, thank you. I didn't have any more money to spend anyway.
Re: Random: This Could Well Be The Silliest Nintendo Switch Accessory Yet

Re: Nintendo Download: 28th December (Europe)
This is the weakest week we've had in a while... but my wallet is grateful!

Re: Feature: Going Deeper Into the Incredible Design of Gorogoa
The price disparity between eShop and iOS is enough to put me off this game and them as a developer. It's a 'No' from me.
Re: More Festive Switch, 3DS And Wii U eShop Discounts Hit Europe
@Krull lol, same!
Re: Video: Get In The Festive Spirit With This Disturbing Layers Of Fear: Legacy Trailer
I'll wait and see if this goes on sale during next Hallowe'en. Looks good though.
Re: Euro My Nintendo Rewards Include Wii U And 3DS Discounts, But Nothing For Switch Owners
@kupocake Yeah, what?
How many coins do they cost? I'm losing over 100 gold coins this month. :/
Re: Review: One More Dungeon (Switch eShop)
I have this game and want people to know that it's NOTHING like Minecraft.
In this game you can't even look up or down... it's very basic. The game is VERY basic.

Re: Out Today: Monday Releases Are a Thing on the Switch eShop - Good Times
As a huge fan of Binding of Isaac, I feel I should give Enter the Gungeon a go.
Re: Review: Gorogoa (Switch eShop)
They must be smoking some pretty powerful stuff if they think people are going to pay that much more just to have it on Switch.
Re: Review: Mom Hid My Game! (Switch eShop)
Free on iOS and I still cba to download it.

Re: Pac-Man Championship Edition 2 Plus Is Heading To Switch, Includes Exclusive Co-Op Mode
If it reviews well and is cheap enough then I'll give it a shot.
Re: Review: Floor Kids (Switch eShop)
I still think this one looks bad. Maybe a demo would help.
Re: Review: Human: Fall Flat (Switch eShop)
@Anti-Matter It's very tame.
Re: Review: Human: Fall Flat (Switch eShop)
I played through this with my girlfriend and we were laughing the whole time. I've never played anything quite like it.
The controls are difficult to get used to and it's totally not for everyone, but IMO, it's a total blast and well worth a download.
edit: I don't think it'd be that fun solo though.
Re: Feature: It's Time to Vote for Your 2017 Nintendo Life Game of the Year Awards
You know it's been a pretty good year when Graceful Explosion Machine is your most regrettable purchase.
Re: More Than 240 Nintendo Switch, Wii U And 3DS eShop Games Are On Sale In Europe
@alasdair91 What's wrong with it? (Unbox) Does it have co-op?
Re: Review: Poly Bridge (Switch eShop)
Looking forward to this one. When I have a bit more cash I'll be picking it up. I love physics games. Human: Fall Flat was a blast with my girlfriend.
Re: Review: Yooka-Laylee (Switch eShop)

Re: Nintendo Switch Reaches 10 Million Global Sales In Its First Nine Months
@aaronsullivan We should! I've already got two lying about but a third one won't hurt
Re: Nintendo Switch Reaches 10 Million Global Sales In Its First Nine Months
Fantastic news. I really hope that it can beat the Wii U's lifetime sales in its first year on the market. That'd be a big win in my eyes.
Re: Review: Kid Tripp (Switch eShop)
Ehhh, I'll maybe grab it when it's on offer some day but I'm in no rush to play this one. There are just too many good games to play at the minute.
Re: Bayonetta and Bayonetta 2 Are Arriving on Switch in February
@JaxonH Thanks man. I heard that the Japanese version was physical but I can't find a proper source on it. As disappointing as that is, I'm still happy I get to play the game.
Re: Outlast I and II To Scare Their Way Onto Switch in Q1 2018
This is gnarly. Day 1 for sure.
Re: Discord CEO Reiterates His Company Is Keen To Work With Nintendo On Switch Voice Chat
Well... yeah it'd be great. But there's no microphone on the Switch... or slot in the Joy-Con/Pro Controller to plug one in. So basically, it's not going to happen.
Re: Bayonetta 3 is In Development and is a Switch Exclusive
I've somehow never played any of these games (being mostly a 3DS player last gen), now's my chance.

Re: Bayonetta and Bayonetta 2 Are Arriving on Switch in February
I'm a bit behind on the news... is there any version of Bayo 1 on a game card, or is it digital only?
Re: FIFA 18 Nets A Sizeable Update On Switch
The guy in the top image looks like he's trying so hard to ascend to a level beyond that of a Super Saiyan.
Re: Review: Tennis In The Face (Switch eShop)
I have a soft spot for physics based games, so I might actually check this one out. Many thanks for the review.
Re: Kellogg's Teases A Potential UK Release For Its Must-Have Super Mario Cereal
I would get one just as a collectible. If it has no animal product in it, I might even get it to eat. Totally down for it.
Do we know what the amiibo does yet?
Re: Nintendo Download: 7th December (Europe)
Human: Fall Flat looks like it could be fun for me and my girlfriend to play. I'd get Yooka Laylee but that price seems a bit high tbh.
Re: Nintendo Download: 7th December (North America)
Human Fall Flat looks hilairious. Waiting on some reviews first though.
Re: Out Today: WWE 2K18 Spears Its Way Onto Nintendo Switch
Buyers beware... it runs like trash. I'd wait to see if they fix it first. They're clearly just wanting those Xmas sales!
Re: First 4 Figures Is Working On Banjo-Kazooie And Conker Collectables
Microsoft must realise they're not going to make money from these IP unless they chuck them on Nintendo. Just do it guys!
Re: Mutant Mudds Collection is Out Soon With a Nice 'Early Birds' Discount
Hats off to him, that's a good price.
Re: Random: Of All the Games, Nintendo Uses Milking in 1-2-Switch to Promote Festive Gaming
I mean, I understand. It's Christmas, families play games together at this time of year. But... this is so awful it hurts.
Re: PayPal Launches Another Offer for Free eShop Credit in the UK
I was lucky enough to grab this. Just don't know what to spend it on!
Re: Review: Aqua Moto Racing Utopia (Switch)

Re: Video: MUJO Could Be Switch's Laziest Smartphone Port Yet
I hope it bombs.
Re: Review: Xenoblade Chronicles 2 (Switch)
I have the first one on 3DS, but never got into it because of the weird combat. :/ Might give it another go.
Re: Review: Ginger: Beyond the Crystal (Switch)
Super hyped for this one.
