Mostly Burnout Paradise, that game is soo good
But I'll also check some short length indies, like A Short Hike and Paratopic

Nice, it was kinda weird that only a Daemon X Machina special edition existed before the regular ones

Anyway, I wonder if the bigger analog sticks actually compensate for the lack of gyro 🤔 that's the biggest bummer for me, it won't totally replace the joy-cons, as besides no gyro, some games that use motion like Mario Odyssey (cap tricks) and Zelda (tilt puzzles) would be slightly impacted

Still, they look pretty confortable, probably I'll pick one when it has stock, maybe the red one

Too bad I'll probably will be swapping back to the joy-cons depending on the game

@NEStalgia yep

I think the 'tax' is because of the physical versions, cartridges are still kinda expensive and they bump the digital price so that people still want to opt to buy physical

I think digital-only games mostly match pricing from other platforms... and if later there's a physical Limited Run version it'll always be way more expensive

Also looks like the demand curve is different for Switch owners as even with its relatively high price, Skyrim is currently #6 on the US eshop

@MrBlacky I think the term actually was an insult at first but then it got a neutral use for exploration-and-narrative-focused games

But yeah, nowadays feels like if any game isn't 100% combat-focused, somebody will label it as "just a [x] simulator"

Wow 2017 is so ahead
But yep, Switch launch + BotW + Mario Odyssey, years can't get much better than that

Buy Creaks y'all

It has a nice hand drawn art style and interesting setting and mechanics

You're at some kind of a magical place with furniture monsters that become regular furniture when in contact with light

I thought Amanita Design games (Machinarium, Botanicula, Samorost, and now Creaks) were more popular =(

They should
Good game or not, it will find a new audience and sell better on the Switch

I'm happy I've ignored the negativity from people who've never played the game. It's pretty fun
Lack of level grinding is a feature to me

10 minutes of Bakugan

The titles from the Hot Pursuit sub-series are my favorite NFS games, looking forward to it

@shonenjump86 did Activision port any current gen console games to mobile platforms before?
Supposedly the Switch is outpowered by some phones but the demographic is quite different, so ports to mobile are kinda rare, aren't they? Btw, there's a new mobile-only Crash game incoming already, it's an auto runner spin-off

Was kinda disappointed about potential harmful stuff in Deadly Premonition 2, specially after Swery worked on The Missing, so I'm glad about these news

(Btw, he replied "trying hard" when asked about the framerate)

That's a somewhat interesting week 🤔

I'll pick CrossCode for sure

But there's some other interesting games like Deadly Premonition 2, Superliminal, Bloodstained

Ouch cartridges clearly give Switch games a price bump
I think that digital-only/first games will always be cheaper as they don't have to match the physical release price... Likewise, supposedly 'overpriced' stuff like A Hat in Time, had physical versions at launch. I wonder how much does it cost to actually produce those cartridges, maybe Nintendo is taking a hit on profits from physical releases? Still, as the platform holder it makes sense, but it doesn't that much for third parties

@mesome713 I'm with you that I wouldn't spend that much money on a gaming computer, but I think sometimes this is a bit wrongly headed, like, 2d games actually can have better graphics than 3d downgraded ones... I don't care that much for just realistic graphics without a proper art direction, like, maybe Call of Duty and PUBG and stuff, it's just the 'good' part that bothers me, 3d graphics aren't always better than 2d ones. I think that stuff like Nidhogg 1 actually have good graphics as they follow an unique and nice style and were meant to be played that way.
Still, this Crysis version looks fine 🤷‍♂️

@TG16_IS_BAE yep, the only thing that maybe justifies the name is that it's 'based on the pc remaster', not on the original one, so probably it's on a newer engine so it'll run better than it would with similar graphical settings on the old engine. But also, I'm fine with it not being a giant file size, like that's a bug and not a feature 🤷‍♂️

Mostly Rocket League

But also The Missing (from the Swery's studio). Pretty... unsettling... I have to leave it on mute sometimes... But I'm really liking the story

@Agramonte interesting
I was thinking about using xCloud for some missing third party games if it gets available on my country eventually
It would be so convenient if xCloud or Stadia had a Switch app
Too bad there would probably be some conflicts with the eShop offerings so it's unlikely to happen

15/15
I had my doubts about the sword guy though

Gotta admit that the mid-battle evolutions after enough levels are an interesting twist

Gotta admit, I wasn't that interested in a fighter from Arms but now seeing it in action makes me think she's actually the most unique from all the DLC fighters until now
Makes me wanna finally get a DLC fighter, and pay $6 just for her
But I think I'll wait the second one to see if I get the fighter pass instead

I understand the negativity but it could be interesting actually
Sure those lanes at the beginning of the trailer kinda reminds a generic autorunner but then there's some more interesting parts shown
Also, looks like there's some new canonical plot here, though probably it won't make any sense without playing much of the rest
Anyway, maaaybe it could be good

Would be nice if there was a Mirror's Edge Collection and an Alice Collection

@Eel oops that's true
I had in mind that some publishers gave discounts on the eshop based on games you already owned, but I don't know how that works for physical ones
Maybe Nintendo didn't want to force people to register their physical games, so they let DLCs open for purchase instead
Interesting 🤔

While it's kinda a silly error, that's a blind spot on Nintendo's eShop
They could simply block DLC for software you don't own, it doesn't make sense to allow the purchase in the first place
Maybe they will change this behavior on an update

@RickD hmm somewhat a hot take

Indies are way too broad of a group, what you said applies better to AAA games, which are mostly sequels and mostly shooters

Yeah I agree that there's a lot of retro-styled ones that are homages to something

But what about Gorogoa, Baba is You, Obra Dinn, Nidhogg, Goose Game, Night in the Woods etc. Also from this stream, what about No Straight Roads, Minute of Islands?
You simply can't get that variety outside of the indie space, big companies won't put money on riskier stuff

Looking forward specially for No Straight Roads
Also Haven and Star Renegades look interesting

This one looks interesting because it apparently has more movement freedom than other titles of the genre on the Switch (here you can double jump, sometimes float, sometimes fly)

Let's see if I won't get tired of it after a couple of hours, which tends to happen with most f2p competitive games for me

"un-PC" 🤔🤔🤔
Interesting euphemism there

Yep that climbing surely was similar
I wonder if they will replicate the 'chemistry' system, and the 'you can go anywhere including straight to the final boss' thing
What makes BotW stand out is it's true openness with no necessary sequence of boxes to check, plus its physics and 'chemistry' systems allowing some improvisation
I'd welcome new titles like that for sure, though I'm skeptical about what even BotW 2 can do to improve this openness thing

Well they have a point, there are a lot of legitimate uses for it, like running Android and playing Stadia on the Switch, how cool is that?

Still, let's face it, those modchips would be mostly used for piracy

Tricky stuff, though one thing on Nintendo's side is that at least on some ads I saw it was quite clearly cattering to piracy

Maybe they could slash their "backup" capabilities 🤔

Super Metroid all the way, I'm finally properly playing it and I'm just impressed with the level design and all the habilities you acquire or you're taught, plus the art style specially for the bosses. Good soundtrack too.

Solid top 3 tho

Hoping that maybe Crosscode will also be out this month, there will be an announcement next tuesday

A game with polished implementations of Gomoku and Chess, pretty interesting
I'll probably pick it up after learning to destroy the AI on the 4-in-a-row in the demo version

Ooh nice
Four in a row will be cool

I'm thinking of picking up RE 1 remake as
I've heard good things and it shows up high on 'best RE games' lists
And maybe RE 0 while at it
I've only properly played the newer over-the-shoulder camera ones, it will be interesting to take a look on the classic-style ones

@Casual_Gamer95 ouch

There will be a 6gb day-one patch though, which includes hi-res textures

https://outerworlds.obsidian.net/en/news/outerworlds/the-outer-worlds-to-launch-on-nintendo-switch-on-june-5-2020

This sparked my interest on the game again
Too bad it's behind a shady monetization system

So unfortunately it's another game with 'deluxe editions' with content that could be on the base game
Oh well

AAA games feels like they should be free-to-play nowadays

Looks like it was referencing 2d metroid games, he only fakes shooting and left and right 😅😅
If it's a new one or not, I don't know
Would be interesting if there's a chain of announcements incoming, and each one has a small hint about the next one 🤔

That sounds more like a de-confirmation :/

Alice and Mirror's Edge! Would be nice

I only have a Switch but I'm from one of those countries with limited eshops
All physical games are imported so it's way cheaper to pick up digitally so this is kinda scary
Oh well, I hope that by the time the Switch eshop is down, bigger SDs are cheaper so I can keep everything in just one card and never remove it from the Switch again to not lose it

Luigi's Mansion is probably the best technically with more complex lightning and animations used in those tiny rooms
But Zelda is just stunning (when it doesn't drop resolution)
Nice to see Arms there, it has has some pretty nice looks and animations
Splatoon 2 looks great too, and could be included
In the end, the best looking 3d games are the ones made specifically for the console, maybe with the exception of the Feral Games ports

Btw, didn't know about Kingdom: Two Crowns, maybe I'll pick it on sale

Yess!

While Crysis is known mostly for being a demanding game, it's actually fun and unique, it's kinda a sandbox to explore, and you can basically pick up and throw almost any object in the map, plus there's the suit power-ups

Looking forward to it

I'm curious
Did Nintendo try to cancel the Philips' Zeldas? Not sure if the product quality is reason enough to cancel a license

But Planet Entertainment is probably screwed anyway because of the illegal ps4 version though

It's just conveniently vague enough for unsuspecting parents not know what it is
Should be something like 'gambling elements', or 'luck-based', or lootboxes straight up

@EVIL-C somebody elsewhere mentioned a game called Dangerous Driving
It's basically a spiritual successor, made by the Burnout creators, who went indie
Its sequel to it will come to the Switch maybe this year

A trailer for the original:

https://youtu.be/3icPCpqd9_Y

On the English website it says $49.99

My first thought is, 'yikes', but my second thought is that it's possible that the game is fully on the cartridge and they've had to bump the price
