Nice! I was just thinking yesterday that is would be cool to play a Burnout game on my tv. I only ever owned these games for PSP. If it's not coming to Switch I'll get it on PS4. Now if it is coming to Switch... I'm not sure yet
I'd much rather have a Gameboy Mini than a N64 mini. I would't even buy the latter one. I think a Gameboy Mini should include 40-50 something games. Original Gameboy cartridge support in addition to that would be really cool as well, but now I'm just dreaming
@Ooyah that question has been asked to @anti-matter many, many times in the past months. I'm convinced he's just not capable of understanding somehow. It seems pointless to even try and correct him.
I'd switch out mario maker and sega 3d classics for resident evil revelations (really deserving of a spot in this list) and pilotwings resort (a personal favorite )
Awesome. I never played this, but I played the first one on 3DS. Great game, that I haven't played enough of. Multiplayer sound like a great addition. This is a must buy.
Haven't bought Shantae, the Mummy demastered, Steamworld dig 2 and Blaster master zero yet. Now might be the time to jump on them! However... I barely have enough time to play through my backlog as it is. 1st world problem I guess
The trailer got me even more excited. Great music indeed. I'll be sure to pick this up. Don't care that's not on Switch, I still play my 3DS too. Good price too.
I was confused by Sparkle 2 EVO, as I downloaded a game called Sparkle 2 like two weeks ago. I googled Sparkle 2 EVO and it looks like it's a totally different game.
Nice! I think it's a good option to be able to buy tables separately. I'm going for Aliens vs Pinball and Universal classics. Maybe they'll do a retail release later of all tables combined? Either way, excited for this!
@sandman89 nope! Saw a good video on youtube about it. The Switch is perfectly capable of cooling itself. That Nyko intercooler looks like a total scam, only playing into peoples fears.
Oh man, for about 10 seconds I was happy. I just want to use my (bluetooth) headphones in handheld mode. Having a complete dock dangling under my Switch is really no solution I'd rather have a cord between me and my Switch then. However, thanks for the info
@Balta666 Thanks. I actually had my left joy con replaced right after the Switch launch. I thought it was fixed, but I know I had problems after that. I'm gonna do the controller update and then play hours of Stardew Valley on end with my detached joy con instead of my pro controller. If they fail on me I'll contact Nintendo again, but I don't particularly feel like it Thanks for your advice though!
I think my joy con still loose connection every now and then. I only use them detached from the tablet when playing multiplayer, so it's not an issue I encouter much. Really hope this update fixes those problems once and for all. It's pretty much been my only complaint with the Switch.
Good site, really looks like Nintendo is thriving, which is great to see. That and I'm a sucker for Christmas too, so, love it! Also, did we know about pricing of Skyrim yet? It appears to be 60 dollars. I was hoping Skyrim and Doom we're gonna be a little bit cheaper (something like 45, or more realistically, 50)...
I was gonna say I don't buy sevens anymore since there is currently so much to choose from, but I literally was just waiting for my download of Sparkle 2 to finish as I was about to comment. I guess there are exceptions
I first played Zuma between 7-10 years ago when I hadn't played video games in a long time, and loved it. I played it recently on my father's PS3 and still really enjoyed it. Also bought it on 3DS (or maybe a Zuma clone?), but that one didn't do it for me, I think there was borders on the sides and it was just too small overall. This looks like a game I could enjoy. But I would still prefer the real Zuma I think
@JaxonH Haha, that's right, make people pay 100 yen for a Switch ad on their 3DS. Not much other companies that can do that. And that's actually a compliment
It's a nice song, but if I'm going to listen to it outside of the occasional trailer, I'll get sick of it before the game comes out, so I'll pass for now
Nice, would love to have a good pinball game on Switch. I had a lot of fun with Metroid prime pinball on my 3DS. Will pick this up if it reviews well. Inclusion of HD rumble is a must I think.
The biggest omission is Pilotwings I think. So strange that it didn't even make it to this list! I definitely agree on the other two Donkey Kong games as well. Having at least DKC2 on it would have been great.
@CoolPenguin1 I'm curious how Samus Returns did in the rest of Europe. The UK does not equal Europe and so far I've only seen UK numbers. Hope it does well in the U.S. too. I bought it day one with no regrets. Great game that deserves a big audience.
New Switch owners with a hunger for games and a lack of choice may be a factor here. Not that you can fault a new system much for that. Anyway, I like having lots of indie games to choose from. Still looking forward to several of them: Hollow Knight, Stardew Valley, Owlboy, Pocket Rumble. Bring 'em!
I was so happy when they announced that the Switch is a cartridge based system, if this is the "price" we pay for it, then I'm fine with that. Maybe it will get better in the future, when prices go down on those cartridges.
@ThomasBW84 "As always Nintendo of America wants you to browse the eShop and check out the official sales and deals website for discount details." Huh? I didn't know that. So you agreed with NOA that you don't publicize the eshop deals? I'm glad NOE doesn't have this policy then!
It's kind of hard to see that this game is currently on sale for about 7 euros in the PSN store. I'm sure it's a good game and worth the 40 they are asking for it on Switch, but still...
