The original LA is one of my favorite games, and thinking about certain moments of it recreated in this new artsyle and soundtrack is giving me chills. Cannot wait until Friday. Also preordered the adorable Link amiibo to go along with it.

I love this game and would definitely love a sequel, especially if it did crossovers with some other Nintendo franchises as well. Just imagine a Rabbid Link.

Love this game. The only thing that got me to put it down is Fire Emblem. Juggling the two is taking up all my free time.

It's so mind-boggling that they got this running on a handheld (which is the main appeal of this version). Like yes, there will be some visual and technical compromises, but to be fair, The Witcher 3's main strengths are its narrative and side quests, and I can't see them cutting any of that. Just hope the framerate stays near 30fps.

Aww, I really liked him. Whitney on the other hand, she can go jump in the river.

This rivals MK8D and Mario Odyssey as the best looking game on Switch so far. It's stunning to look at.

A sequel to the greatest game ever made? I'm completely fine with that.

I hope they keep screen time for Pokemon and Mario Maker to a minimum. They've already had their own Directs, and those games frankly sell themselves.

My biggest dream is an Eternal Darkness reboot/sequel being developed by Retro. I know it's not happening, but I can wish.

Been playing Slay the Spire since February on PC, and it's easily my favorite game of the year so far. Definitely buying again for Switch and maybe even Android when that comes later this year.

It's a lot of fun and rarely frustrating. In other roguelikes, a lot of your runs get screwed by RNG and feel impossible to win unless you luck out with overpowered items and boosts. Slay the Spire never feels that way as you can make it to the end somewhat consistently on the base difficulty if you are smart and strategic with your deck management. Ascension levels are a different story, but those are for when you master the game.

I won't be greedy this year. All I want is more information and release dates for Animal Crossing and Luigi's Mansion 3 and I'll be very happy.

I've been playing a lot of Smash, Dead Cells, and Into the Breach lately. While all fantastic games, I've been craving a good narrative, so I downloaded VA-11 Hall-a last night and I'm really liking it. It has some great writing and fascinating characters.

I could possibly see myself double dipping and buying one of these, especially if they come in a variety of colors and the price is fair (without a dock or detachable Joycons, I think $200 or $225 would be a fair price).

Nintendo always does its own thing and has easily the best exclusive franchises in the business, so it really need not worry about competition. I think Stadia will be successful though and I will certainly try it out. Not like it's going to cost me much.

I finally won a match last night and K.O.ed 17 players. I'm totally hooked, and frankly this game alone is worth the NSO subscription.

12 million sold in three weeks on a console with an install base of a little over 30 million. That's just absurd and pretty much unheard of. As incredible as SSBU's performance and sales are, I think Pokemon 2019 (and possibly even Animal Crossing) will smash (sorry) these records. It's going to be a monster. And just imagine if there's a cheaper Switch revision to go along with it. Oh, boy...

Wow, amazing results for Switch and Smash. And good lord, look at Splatoon 2. It's almost to 3 million.

Gotta love the complaints about the price vs. length. I've spent far more than $17 on dinners or even lunches that took me all of an hour or less to eat. I'd gladly spend that on a 3 hour game that obviously had a lot of care and attention put into it.

I love Civ VI and was thinking about double dipping for Switch, but online is a big part of it for me, so I'll pass.

I do find it incredibly amusing how every time Nintendo announces a Wii U port to Switch, everyone in the comments suddenly owns a Wii U and every game for it. We either have a case of a very vocal minority who are obviously not the intended audience anyway, or people are just making [removed] up in order to hate on the Switch. This is very unique situation and certainly justifies ports: a handful of outstanding games that are underplayed and underappreciated because they just so happened to release on a failure of a console (similar to what happened with the Dreamcast). Nintendo is very smart in re-releasing these games and there certainly is a demand for them, although whether or not they should be fully-priced is a different discussion entirely.

As much as I love Metroid, Fire Emblem, and Bayonetta, they're not huge sellers. The only games I could see moving units like this would be a Pokemon, a 2D Mario, Smash Bros, or an Animal Crossing. I could also see a big third party port (like the rumored GTA V or Call of Duty) moving quite a few units because of the portability. Unless Nintendo somehow thinks the Labo will take off and become the must-have toy in town by the holiday season (not for me, but there's certainly potential there).

Can't wait to play this. If it's the masterpiece everyone says it is, it shouldn't be languishing away on such a failure of a console and deserves to be introduced to a newer and bigger audience. People can argue about the price all they want, but if the quality is there, that's all that matters to me.

Contrary to popular belief, there are good FMV games out there albeit a bit rare. Her Story, for example, is brilliant.

I will gladly shell out money and purchase this again, especially to support the developer for the way he went after a certain white supremacist YouTuber. If only more developers would follow suit.

Pauline please.

"Is the game revolutionary, though? Only in the eyes of its fans. You can only reinvent the wheel so many times."

Whether true or not you have to actually play/experience something before making a claim like that. It's certainly polarizing and I totally get why people would worship or despise this game, but it is extremely unusual and surprising in a way that few games are. Whether that's a pro or a con is up to the individual. In all fairness though, I don't think I would call any game of the last couple of years "revolutionary" except perhaps Breath of the Wild or NieR: Automata in certain aspects.

@AlexSora89 I never understood the "I'm sure it's a good game but I refuse to play it because of the fanbase!" stance. I mean if you are curious about a particular game, play it and judge it/love it/hate it on its own merits. I personally cannot stand the elitist and overly defensive Dark Souls community and avoid any forums related to it, but it's still one of my all-time favorite games.

Have it on PC, PS4, and Vita. Tempted to buy it yet again lol

For anyone who has yet to play them, Night in the Woods and Crypt of the Necrodancer are essential. Even if you don't like roguelikes, you should give Crypt a chance as it is a very unique spin on the genre and has an outstanding soundtrack. I'll happily be purchasing both of these again.

This is why it needs Virtual Console. There are so many great GameCube, 64, SNES titles that many of us haven't played in years (or even ever) that it would be more than enough to hold the Switch over in the dry spells between major titles. And droughts are inevitable and will happen (until more third-party developers fully commit) as it is practically impossible to have a first-party title on the scale of Odyssey or BoTW release every month. I will admit though that all the great indies I've missed out on PC and PS4 that have come to the Switch are keeping me pretty busy.

I downloaded this last night after hearing it had a good narrative in addition to very tight controls and was blown away by how good it is. It might be the best indie game on the Switch yet.

I mean the 3DS has one of the strongest libraries of any console out there and is still worth a purchase for anyone who has yet to experience it. However, people just now buying it and expecting future support will be extremely disappointed. I think some localizations of JRPG titles (like the upcoming Atlus ones) and maybe a handful of titles that have already been in development for a while will be it. If the rumors of a 3DS remake of Link's Awakening are true, that would be a great swan song for the system.

I think people were so wowed by Horizon Zero Dawn's graphics (which are some of the best ever seen yet) and wonderful protagonist Aloy that they overlooked everything else and rated it highly. The gameplay itself isn't so hot as exploring the world is dull and lacks depth or interactivity and feels like a checklist of icons. Edge tends to be super critical of games that do not innovate in any way and simply follow the current industry trends. That would explain why Horizon Zero Dawn didn't make the list but games like ARMS and Edith Finch did. Kinda baffled that NieR Automata didn't, though. That seems like the type of game that the Edge people would worship, at least its narrative.
