@Ralek85 You seem to write of the game, based on visuals alone. Recommending it only as a last resort. Having played this game for a few days now I would say that’s mostly based on taste. I think the vibe of the game is very much intact. The humor still comes across in all elements of the game, so does the combat, the visuals do take a big hit but is hasn’t put me of in any way. I would say the visuals will mostly bother you if you’ve played the game on other -stronger- hardware. It’s still a great game -even if you have the option of playing it on more powerful devices.

@Nintendolife I’ve been away for a while to find out you have all kind of new series(ranking best games for GC and this for instance). Great stuff!
Japan clearly wins of course. You want those puppets to shine.

@ddowler85 Love the idea of having SO on Switch, but it probably will never happen... INSOMNIAC is probably working on something Marvel related if I had to guess.

Baba is you, Civ VI, Wargroove and Just Shapes & Beats.

I’d put Wargroove on that list as well. I’m not expecting Metroid Prime 4 this year, same goes for Pikmin. Wouldn’t mind if they did of course.

@spadgy Great interview. Very much looking forward to the end product. Last I heard the game still had some frame rate issues, hopefully they’ll get that fixed. Did you notice any?

@Lnsx Very thoughtfull and well-worded comments on your part. A real joy to read.

Valkyria Chronicles 4(forgot to vote for it)
Inside -stunning game
Transistor -fantastic game, so glad I picked it up!
Layers of Fear -just the right amount of scary

@Dazza Great to hear, looking forward to it.

Bad North and Prison Architect are both on my wishlist. However I would like to know if the Switch version of PA holds up, especially since I already spent over 200 hrs in it. Such an addicting game. And I mean that in the best of ways.
@Nintendolife can we expect a review anytime soon?

Excellent, can’t wait to play this! But first I have to clean up my backlog a bit, it’s getting out of a hand. Hopefully they keep adding stuff to the game, extra modes, unit types, etc. The game has so much potential.

@JayJ Well-worded argument why this type of game doesn’t suit you. But I am curious, to give me a frame of reference, which games in the same genre type did he review?

So there will be a review for Element, great to hear! Been holding out as I need a second opinion before purchasing.
Pool Panic is also begging for a purchase, as well as my continued journey through the Banner Saga trilogy.
In the meantime I still have to finish Octopath and Hollow Knight...

@NintendoFan4Lyf Definitely! The Sam & Max games would be great as well.

I know, downloaded it asap! Thanks mate.
Beautiful game btw, completely in love.

Hopes and dreams for this E3:

Metroid Prime HD trilogy(or released as individual remasters)
Wave Race(there is no game with the same vibe, please Nintendo)
Link’s Awakening(remake, have to thank Easy Allies for this, wouldn’t have thought of it otherwise)
Paper Mario(in the same vein as Thousand Year Door preferably)
Advance Wars(all the ways they could improve on this simple but deep concept, it could keep me awake all night)
Viewtiful Joe(remaster or a whole new game, I don’t really care)
Persona series(this series has always peeked my interest, but for some reason I haven’t bought it on PS4)

Banner Saga mostly and a little splatfest on the side.

Very much looking forward to the final product. I wonder which modes will be present, can’t imagine they’ll stick with a campaign only. To much potential!
Really like the hero mechanic btw, it makes the battles a lot more meaningful this way.

@B238ben It’s slated for a Summer release.

Can’t wait! Hopefully they manage to release it this year as i’m still waiting on Hollow Knight.

Octopath and Mario Tennis are locked.
Got my eye on;
Battlechasers
Little Nightmares
Moonlighter
Yoku’s Island Express
Unexplored
West of Loathing
Bad North
Banner Saga Trilogy

Still looking for a good fighting game though, whilst Blazblue or SF 30th might fit that bill, it won’t be easy for newcomers to join in for some friendly matches -this severely influences my interest, shame.

Darkest Dungeon and Night in the Woods.

@fullyilly Everything you've said just further cements that this is a game that got a lot of love and care. Difficulty(arcade mode baby ), characters, music, etc. it all sounds great! I really can't wait till the 12th.
You're awesome, thank you so much for taking the time to answer my questions(and everybody else's), I wish you all the best.

@fullyilly Well that all sounds excellent. The combo system your describing has me salivating(a Bayonetta/DMC combo system would've been insane haha ;D). You are however enticing me to ask more;
Does it have the difficulty of the beat 'm ups of yore?
Do the 3 available characters fight -and feel differently?
Can you describe how the arena's work?
Why aren't you mentioned in the e-shop?!

@fullyilly I've been looking for a great beat 'm up and your game got my attention from the moment I saw the trailer.
Love the music, artstyle, you being influenced by real historical events during that time; it just gives the whole game a lot of atmosphere. The interview you did with NL was also sublime -the passion! I was sold after that.
I still have two questions after all that if you don't mind; In the trailer there's being mentioned of a rich 8 level campaign, how long would you say an average person would take to complete it?
Can you do combo attacks, stringing different moves together -or even cooperatively?

Looks very nice. I'll have to try the alpha out tonight.

The game looks fun. Love the art style -music fits it perfectly. Interested.

@Springloaded Can we expect the single player mode to have a story element as well?

@SLIGEACH_EIRE I'm curious; why would a worse looking version of KH3 be so bad -on a console the size of a small paper notebook?
I mean, considering the trailer mentioned; of course the Switch version would need to be downgraded considerably.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE Well, selling the idea shouldn't be understated as well.

@Ralek85 "maybe their own take on the Souls formula.."
Oh my, now that get's my blood pumping.. The possibilities.
Retro staff mentioned long ago to Nintendo they wanted to work on a new IP, we could see a game that they've been wanting to make for years -games build with so much passion tend to be the best(some examples set aside).

Bayonetta 2 is a good example. Nintendo does seem to understand you want to attract a wide variety of gamers trough fan service -and Metroid fits that bill perfectly(Better then a Bayonetta 3 I reckon).

Haha so you'll "settle" for a Metroid Prime 4 -I could live with that as well.^^

In the vein of E3 dream announcements a new Waverace is at the top of my list.
Especially the first game gave me the feeling of a sun-filled holiday vacation, splashing through the waves on my jet-ski. I could literally feel the water. Life was good.

@Ralek85 I think you made an excellent point there. That said, a new IP -just like Bloodborne- could very well be something that wins everyone's heart. You don't need Metroid. Although I'd love a great new iteration of the Prime series -or the 2d versions don't get me wrong.

The trailer shown for Blacksad looks fantastic, hopefully the game has the same tone/atmosphere.
I'll check the first Syberia game out, looks very intriguing.

@Yasume Netherlands reporting here, sold out.
You probably shouldn't state something's a fact, when you don't really have proof.
That said, initial sales can't predict the future in that sense I agree with you.

Man, it's getting harder and harder to roam about spoiler-free on Zelda these days. Really have to constrain myself not taking a peek at some vids -so much questions!

@ThanosReXXX It could be just that yes, but they do have the choice of releasing it digital only.

My experience with BOTW so far, is like a twelve-course 5 Michelin star meal.
It's presented flawlessly, you can't wait to get your hands on it, the thing most pertinent on your mind is gobbling it up as soon as possible -while on the other hand wanting to savior every bite.

@SwitchFanatic didn't see your comment yet while posting, great question btw.

This looks like a lot of fun. Was there a co-op mode confirmed -seems perfect for it?

Loved SITTM, so I'm very much looking forward to this game -as it seems an improvement in every single way.

Loved the original. Didn't see much changes -apart from the main character and setting- but I'm confident Image & Form will create a excellent sequel.

@loyalroyal1989 No worries. Play hot seat mode.
"There's also a solution for players who don't have 4 controllers; Couch Hot Seat Mode which is like Creative Mode, but turn-based."

Looks like a really fun game + that music reminds me of DK:TF, which give the game that extra bit of good vibes!

@CircuitWrangler3 Well they sort of have to right? It's how they subsist.

"It's just...I'm getting tired of all this. You know? It's like I'm living in the Twilight Zone, and everybody's phased out of reality."
I can totally relate. Feel the same way actually. Hopefully the negative view that's on everything related to the Switch will dissipate quickly.

Your very welcome btw.😉

@Iggy-Koopa Those are definite contenders as well I agree, and what about XC2, Fire Emblem and perhaps Mario Odyssey?!

All the negativity is astounding to me: with MK8 we got superb DLC packs, why would these be any different?
Couldn't be more excited!

Haha what a horrible thing to imagine! 😱
HD rumble could be perfect for this game.. gyro and first person view sound really good as well.
I had a sneaky suspicion you meant that.😉

PS: sorry about the late reply.

@rjejr First off, I don't think Nintendo is very much in trouble with their current line-up -especially if Xenoblade 2 releases this year- but I was expecting larger third party support. That sign of fait would've made it more convincing. Although i'll have enough to play throughout the year.

Man, that's an excellent list! I'd be beside myself with happiness if we got that in the Switch's lifespan.

I hope they've got a few games still up their sleeve as well for E3. A new IP by Retro would but awesome, but I could live with a new Metroid game.😜 Perhaps a glimpse of Pokémon Stars or Pikmin.
A new Waverace would be a dream come true -it won't happen, but a man can dream right?

Looking good so far! Happy to see they're not forgetting 3DS owners, although I wouldn't mind a Switch version as well.

@rjejr Perhaps Nintendo is waiting for E3 to surprise us with a bunch of games?😉
