I have to admit, for now I don't want it anymore. I try to avoid non-native resolutions in handheld mode, so the 540p is an issue for me.

Maybe in a sale, as it does generally seem to be my kind of game.

Someone remember innerspace? That ran on 720p I believe, but on a bad framerate. Maybe the Abzu devs made the right choice... let's see.

will it have a slow motion mode for beginners? I'm serious, I'll have trouble finding any friends to play this with me if it's that fast. :/

It's out now - when do we get our review?

I got it today! Just stumbled upon the retail version in my small town electronics store. Looks good so far!

@Nookingtons you mean just like "Hollow"?

@Gorfvic20 Wasn't Mercury Meltdown really slow? Like this oozing liquid and more of a puzzler than a reaction/balance game? I always wished for something faster, I think I liked Monkey Ball more.

CTRL+F for "ATR" or "All Terrain Racing"... 0 results.

Sad! Such a fun & pretty racing game!

@Jellyscare Aha, so it was you! Yeah I remember it to be very hardware hungry, and I agree on the first game being much more fun.
But why didn't you supply youtube footage of more powerful systems running it? Like this for example: https://youtu.be/6nY8nNNNBfE?t=1m20s

Haha, did you spot Alien Breed 3D II? It was in the top row at the end, running in a very... appropriate frame rate.

@adh56 I do think so, yes. It does the same thing as the regular dock. The dock is just really a plastic holder, the tech inside is minimal. The dock definitely looks nicer than just a cable, but if you want to travel with your switch (and hook it up to a TV elsewhere), it's nice to have a lighter alternative.

@adh56 I am not sure you understand what the dock does. There is no additional computing unit in there!

@GoldenGamer88 it is unnecessarily large, if you have to fit it in a hand luggage suitcase. I would prefer a simple cable solution like this one.

Mh, I still want this - story driven SF stealth? Sign me up, even if its 6/10.

@EightBitMan Switch has already sold more than Gamecube everywhere in the world, with the exception of the US.

an RTS game with multiplayer sounds like an odd decision indeed.

...only in the US? Come on guys!

once again all screenshots are promo pictures, without UI or actual gameplay. I know there's a video too, but come on NintendoLife - take proper pictures.

Where are the proper screenshots? First Moto GP, now All star Fruit Racing, both being reviewed while only showing smooth promo pictures. You write about the weapon fruit gauges, I would have loved to see them! :/

@gatorboi352 there's plenty of games with a tate mode... it makes most sense to get this if you are into Retro Shmups though, otherwise I admit the game selection is limited.

@Gen0neD my thoughts exactly. I wrote them emails on that game, never heard anything back.

@Menchi187 would you like a hug?

Pixel look meets Ikaruga gameplay...? I'm not sold, but let's wait for the review. Once thing I don't like is how they use the screen - I can just barely live with these huge borders for old games that were made for vertical screens, but in a new product?? That's the wrong kind of retro for me.

I see them every day on my way to work.

"warlock of firetop mountain"... wait, is that "Der Hexenmeister vom flammenden Berg"??
I loved those as a child! If only they hadn't been so difficult, don't think I ever beat one without cheating.

@SmaggTheSmug I even tried Sky Rogue and found it barebones too - so this one would disappoint me even more! :/

@link3710 I agree, me too. I was disappointed with 1945 II as there was sooooo much unused screenspace, but then I discovered the joy of rotating the screen.

Mh I don't know, for me Gunbird 2 already felt a bit old fashioned on the Dreamcast. I think I'll skip this.

Are these space battles on-rails sequences, or can I move freely?

anybody knows if Crazy Justice has vehicles?

@chardir mmmh yea I totally missed Gotcha Racing! Thank you

"does not match the quality of certain other recent releases"... which other good releases in top-down racers were there? I remember Mantis Burn Racing and this one Neo Geo Arcade title. Am I missing something?

A Gamecube (2003) classic?
Isn't that rather the 3rd release after Arcade (2001) and Dreamcast (2002)?

@jariw Hey, I'd be very interested in the source. I looked up the google link for the top selling indie titles, are you saying this list is wrong? https://tinyurl.com/yb6zg2ug

@belmont I checked on google, the Top 5 best selling indie games on Switch are:

1) Fast RMX
2) Golf Story
3) Kamiko
4) NBA Playground
5) Overcooked Special Edition

@masterLEON ah yes, now it works! I didn't know how about the dynamic screenshots, I thought the author sets the images manually.

can we maybe see some gameplay screenshots, not just the intro?

I like the cars and the courses, and the racing/drifting looks solid. I am at odds with the character design though, am I the only one to think they look weird?

@PhilKenSebben Damn that sucks, sorry to hear about the break-in. I hope you didn't lose too much stuff.

I honestly don't need these devices anymore. The SWITCH is going to be my portable SNES once virtual console launches.

this "game" is terrible. Yes it is ugly, but I could live with that - it is also badly designed, I ran around the "mine" section without knowing what to do, died three times in a row for no reason and then deleted it after 15 Minutes, which is 25% of the game (designer sets it at one hour playtime).
Everything is so incredibly barebones and cheap, it feels like a students first unity project. Don't spend money on this!

Isn't this the same two pictures repeated four times?

the OJO projector has a really low resolution. It's not worth it.

@Deadlyblack I agree that comparisons like that are wonky - but doesn't it raise some eyebrows that a system with a far smaller install base scores that much higher on preorders?

I LOVE the name, but it looks really ugly... also if the controls/gameplay isn't tight, count me out.

the dual wielding colour guns sound cool, but I really need to see it in motion - I have no clue what is happening on these screenshots.

A shooter set in ancient japan? Wow, now that's a change in setting! I wonder how they styled their enemi...enter GIANT ARMORED TRAIN - nevermind. -_-

It still looks like a nice game though!

@evanac okay thanks, good to know!

nooo, I was so looking forward to this.

can we place have a 3rd person arcade racing game with REAL CARS? There is ONLY Drive Club, this is so weird!

@RetroGamerAndrew Hey, what was so bad about it? Difficulty, Gameplay, graphics? I thought about getting it after having a lot of Multiplayer fun with Neurovoider, and thought this might be similar.
