I understand that people are burned out on retro styled games and that it can be hard to distinguish the good ones from the rest, but this one is actually great and I had a lot of fun with it on 3DS. So don't judge it too fast is what I'm saying I guess.
Thimbleweed will be on sale for 10 euros. Now I have a dillema. Jump on the sale or spent 4x the price and order a physical copy from Limited Run tomorrow.
The cartridges and those small boxes are just way more collectible. Is there currently a way to preorder in Europe? I've not seen it anywhere yet. Will definitely pick it up though.
Cool that this is getting a physical release. It'll be my fourth Nicalis published game. Allready own Isaac, Wonder Boy and Cave Story. Looking forward to it!
@Firehawke I know, but I just can't stand borders and these are the worst. They'd have to come up with some sort of solution for it before I consider playing a collection like this. I don't care if it's not authentic or whatever
Got my switch at launch. I just checked, only botw seems to have been affected by this problem. I agree, hope we get the equivalent of the 3ds activity log on switch as a repair. That was way better than this.
Just received my import copy of Wonder Boy. Love the music, love the graphics and love switching between old and new music/graphics. So probably will be playing more of that
I'm interested. Looking forward to the review. The screen not being 4:3 is big turnoff for me though. I hate these black bars on the sides. The degree of annoyance depends on the screen size though I might have to see one of these in person before I can decide whether to purchase.
Edit: The screen size is 4,3 inch, which is half an inch smaller than the 3ds XL upper screen. I'm afraid that won't cut it for me.
That's it! Getting it for sure now. I liked the demo and loved the soundtrack. Also, I feel like it's an excellent pick up and play style game, even if it's just for a few minutes.
It's nice that they've finally patched it. I would have been pretty disappointed if they'd have left the audio bugs unfixed. I've already finished the game, but I'll give it another go to see how the gyro controls work for me
Never had a chance to experience Gals fighters on NGPC, as it is expensive as hell currently Hope this game turns out as good as it looks, I'm looking forward to it!
I still have game cards that I haven't claimed the gold points for (made no sense to me, as there was noting to spend them on and they would just expire). I wonder if I get more gold points for them if I claim them when the new system has arrived. So complicated
The MSRP is 39,99. It says so in the blog post on the Nicalis website. Also has all the information on what comes with the game. https://blog.nicalis.com/blog/Wonder-Boy-The-Dragon's-Trap-Goes-Physical-on-Febuary-13/ Unfortunately I'm in Europe and will probably end up paying 50 euros for it. Or wait for a Europe release that gets delayed endlessly, like that of Cave Story (that still hasn't gotten a release in Europe)
@Scottwood101 Thanks! I did play through Shovel Knight and it got me pretty frustrated I think it may help to tell myself I don't have to rush through it before I start (Celeste). I'll put this on my wishlist for now, see if they announce a physical edition at some point.
Very interested, but still worried about off-putting difficulty. Assist mode doesn't sound like I'd want to try it, but I might have to get over that...

Will definitely pick it up though.

Re: Thimbleweed Park Is Getting A Physical Release On Switch
Was kind of hoping they'd get Golf Story as their first one. This is cool too. I'm gonna try and get it, although I'm guessing my chances are slim.
Re: V-Rally 4 Drifts Onto Nintendo Switch This September
If it turns out good I will definitely pick this up! Like others have pointed out, a good racer on Switch is very welcome.

Re: Atari Flashback Classics Is Due To Launch On The Switch Later This Year
If it only uses a third of the screen, like in that screen shot, then no.

Just a split second: Hollow knight!

Re: Playdough Platformer Semblance Is Coming To Switch This Year

Re: 8Bitdo's New Bluetooth Adapter Lets You Use The PS4 DualShock With Your Switch
Very interesting. But is it possible Nintendo can undo this compatibility with a future firmware update? If not then I'll probably get his.
Re: Switch Programming Glitch Is Forgetting Your Game Playtimes

I agree, hope we get the equivalent of the 3ds activity log on switch as a repair. That was way better than this.
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend?

Re: Awesome: Meet The Ultimate Nintendo Switch Game Collector
I prefer to collect only the good ones
Re: Hyperkin's New SupaBoy Has Superior Coloured Buttons And A 4:3 Screen Option
I'm interested. Looking forward to the review. The screen not being 4:3 is big turnoff for me though. I hate these black bars on the sides. The degree of annoyance depends on the screen size though I might have to see one of these in person before I can decide whether to purchase.

Re: Guide: Upcoming Nintendo Switch Games And Accessories For March And April
Didn't know Steamworld Dig 2 already had a release date, nice! Lots of games that I want, especially in May.
Re: Square Enix Discusses Big Changes For Dragon Quest Builders 2, Addresses Multiplayer
I hope they improve the soundtrack for this one. I really enjoyed the demo of DQB, but that same music looping over and over again really annoyed me.

Re: Rejoice, Soon You'll Be Able To Use Your My Nintendo Gold Points On The Switch eShop

Best news in weeks! I would love a new ridge racer on Switch.
Re: Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap Gets A Physical Release On 13th February
But so much for complaining. I haven't played the game yet and I'm excited to pick it up when I get a chance. Hooray for the region free Switch

Re: Random: Stay Dry Out There With This Amazing Zelda 'Song Of Storms' Umbrella
Neat idea. I always leave my umbrellas at the bar or restaurant though, like the second time I use them.
Re: Review: Super Meat Boy (Switch eShop)
@Daymonkey Haha, ok, thanks for clarifying. I prefer my Switch too, but luckily my Ps4 doesn't make me wanna throw up yet

@Daymonkey Why does it make you feel that way?
Re: Scribblenauts Showdown Officially Confirmed For Switch Release This March
I bought the 3ds game on sale. It's still sealed. Guess I should try that one first
Re: Sorry Netflix Fans, You Won't Be Watching Stranger Things On Your Switch Anytime Soon
I don't care, but Nintendo should care if they're still aiming to sell 20 million Switches this year.
Re: SteamWorld Dig 2 May Be Getting a Physical Release
If it also includes the first game, I'm in.
