Pretty sure I already have this on PS3. Would have been nice if they had included additional or even different games from the previous release. What a letdown. Well, for me. Everyone else should run out and buy it if they already don't own a copy. I really do want these games on the go.
Here is my one and only complaint. Nintendo is going to drip feed these titles. The inclusion of free NES games was compared to a Netflix like service but with games. Could you imagine if Netflix released 3 movies/tv shows on their service every month. All Nintendo has to do is dump the ROMs. How hard could it be to add the online functionality to them? I bet fans could make this happen at a faster rate.
So is this article implying that I charge my family members every year to use my Switch or gather 7 randoms/friends because both ideas are stupid. I'm not sharing my Switch. MY PRECIOUS!
I might pick this up for my youngest daughter once it goes on sale. We enjoy a good fighting game every once in a while. Hell, we broke out Darkstalkers 3 on the Sega Saturn this weekend and had a blast. She of course picks the girl fighters so a game with nothing but female fighters will probably blow her mind.
@ACK The reviewer mentioned that the games grind was akin to playing a free to play game so...........why not sneak in microtransactions later down the road.
Switch owners beware. ARK ran like horse poop on Xbox One so don't expect any miracles here. If I recall correctly, its a poorly optimized game even on PC. Long story short, pass on this if it releases.
A bundle just in time for Nintendo's online service release. Makes sense since I've been waiting for cloud saves so that i could buy a second Switch (one for the bedroom because why the hell not). I'll wait until Black Friday. I have zero interest in the games included.
@holygeez03 Thanks for the detailed response. I've purchased two Pro controllers and noticed the dpad issue immediately when playing that Tetris Puyo Puyo game. Would love to buy another one (love the way they feel) however I'll hold off until Nintendo makes an announcement regarding a revised Pro Pad. I can see that happening just in time for the Christmas.
Maybe the next iteration of the Switch but this one is way underpowered for VR. If it does happen it would be the equivalent of using a Galaxy S7 or S8 with Samsungs Gear VR and let me tell you that experience is garbage.
Does Steep utilize Ubisofts stupid online service? I wonder if them stopping development has anything to do with Nintendo's service getting ready to go live. Maybe Ubisoft asked them to allow their service as a download and Nintendo said "no thanks".
Thank you Sega! I'll give the demo a shot on the Switch and on one of the other consoles. Curious to see what sacrifices were made to get this running on the Switch. If it plays well and looks good then I would rather have a portable version.

Re: Sony Responds To Nintendo's Success With Its Very Own PlayStation Classic Mini Console
It's Bleamcast in a box! I still have my discs for the Dreamcast. I bet they announce Metal Gear Solid and Gran Turismo 2. Tekken 3 is already there.

@Blizzia Haha. After that play the Japanese version of Final Fight and explain Roxy and Poison to her.
Re: Dead Cells On Switch Is Outselling The PlayStation 4 Version
I hope all that $ motivates them to fix the frame rate on the Switch version.

Re: Players Have Had Enough Of Fortnite's "Unplayable" State On Switch, Send Plea To Epic Games
That's a shame. I played a bit of Fortnite over the summer and didn't encounter any issues. Well, except for the controls. They feel stiff and weird.
Re: Into the Breach Is Available On Nintendo Switch Today
Maybe, after I finish Front Mission 3 on the Vita.

Re: Review: Morphies Law (Switch eShop)
Sounds like they are planning on sneaking in loot boxes or micro transactions based off of what the reviewer said about loot progression.
Re: Rumour: New Nintendo Direct Airing Later Today
New F- Zero X Animal Crossing. No? Fine! I didn't want to play that anyway.
Re: Online Shooter Morphies Law Launches On Nintendo Switch Today

Re: Cyber Gadget Reveals New Third-Party Switch Controller With Customisable Macro Buttons
@holygeez03 Any way of knowing if it's the newer version of the Pro Pad? For example, a certain serial number on the box or the box looking different?

Re: Rumour: A Hidden VR Settings Menu Appears To Have Been Found On Switch
Maybe the next iteration of the Switch but this one is way underpowered for VR. If it does happen it would be the equivalent of using a Galaxy S7 or S8 with Samsungs Gear VR and let me tell you that experience is garbage.
Re: Motion Twin Apologises For Frame Rate Drops In Switch Version Of Dead Cells
I'm glad I held off on a purchase. Currently juggling Overcooked 2, Crossing Souls, Iconoclasts and Sonic Mania Plus. I can wait until it's fixed.
Re: Ubisoft Has Halted Development Of Steep On Nintendo Switch
Does Steep utilize Ubisofts stupid online service? I wonder if them stopping development has anything to do with Nintendo's service getting ready to go live. Maybe Ubisoft asked them to allow their service as a download and Nintendo said "no thanks".
Re: Guide: Best Switch Portable Chargers - Every Power Bank Worth Getting For Nintendo Switch

Re: Valkyria Chronicles 4 Demo And Digital Pre-Orders Go Live Today On Switch
Thank you Sega! I'll give the demo a shot on the Switch and on one of the other consoles. Curious to see what sacrifices were made to get this running on the Switch. If it plays well and looks good then I would rather have a portable version.
Re: Review: Overcooked 2 (Switch)
Dear Nintendo,
Please slow down on eshop releases. I don't have the time to play all these games, even on the toilet. Thank you.
Re: Review: Flipping Death (Switch)
I would buy Discworld on the Switch!
