@m8e3point1415 lol! Sorry. I ended up editing the my post.

Take a wild guess which one I will be buying for myself for Christmas out of Death Stranding and Luigi's Mansion 3.

SPOILER Luigi's Mansion 3

Death Stranding looks great, but in the end, Luigi's Mansion 3 is a game that I would rather have in my permanent collection. I can wait a few years and pick up Death Stranding for $20 or less at Gamestop.

It honestly doesn't look bad from the video they had out for the kickstarter (above). I am mildly interested. I think it just needs a bit more polish and a little more flare to the art to push it over the edge.

@Dang69 oh hell I didn't realize the save data wasn't saved to the SD card.

I'm surprised at this point that no company has come out with a standalone card backup device yet. It's just a micro SD card after all. Put a couple micro SD slots on a small device with one button. Put your Nintendo's SD card in the main slot, put another one in the backup slot, push the button, and it just copies the contents of the main to the backup. Walla! Problem solved.

Granted, you can do this yourself with any computer that has a SD card reader, but you would think some company in China would have made this standalone "Nintendo Switch Backup Device" for $19.99 by now. Companies are getting lazy, and leaving money on the table here.

I'll give him a buck fiddy for it.

...and, I end up buying a PS5 t-shirt and keychain after discovering this web site thanks to this article. lol.... oh my poor wallet.

How is a FREE game the 2nd most PURCHASED game? (O.o)

@madmatt213 awesome! Thanks

I bought this game for my brother, and he played it for all of about a couple hours. His opinion of the game is that it was just slow and boring.

I have not yet had a chance to play the game, and I am hoping its better than he said because I am a fan of Lovecraft lore.

I pre-ordered this game because it's The Witcher 3, so yeah of course it was a day one purchase.

The game is very good in handheld mode, but when you play it in docked mode, you can definitely see the graphical downgrade to get it to work on the Switch. It's still definitely worth the purchase if not for anything else, but the ability to play The Witcher III on the go.

If you own a PS4 and plan to play this game most of the time at home, I would suggest buying it on that platform. If you intend to play this game away from home, it's worth picking up on the Switch.

Does this game support vertical mode where you turn your switch sideways and play?

Yes please! Take my money!

What is this Fortnite you speak of? I know of no such thing. Now if you said, Mario, Zelda, Donkey Kong, Stardew Valley, The Witcher III, or any number of actual good games on the market, I would know exactly what you are talking about. But, as for this battle arena game where people bunny hop around an ever shrinking world shooting each other, I have no idea what that is at all.

I love themed controllers, but if it's not an official Nintendo Pro Controller made by Nintendo, I'm out. The Nintendo Pro controller is hands down better than any 3rd party wireless controller I have bought for my Switch.

Why Nintendo refuses to make themed Pro controllers is beyond me.

Priced right. I will grab this when it comes out.

@Kilroy Here's the question I have though... Why do I need it on my phone when I have Markio Kart 8 on my Switch? Is there an actual reason other than just having the cool new thing? Am I missing anything?

@EVIL-C I am not in the 4X category anymore either. KETO works!

It still bothers me though that people think it's ok to make fun of people based on their weight.

@LJChronx I love how everybody today is all for not triggering anybody about their sex, race, or economical status, but when it comes to their weight, they are perfectly ok with being abusively toxic as possible. Way to go toxic piece of dung.

@Ooyah No. You should imagine again. 3X is big, but it's not obese big. As funny as you may find it that some people are over 300 pounds and live perfectly normal lives, it's a fact of today's society. There are more obese people today than non-obese.

No, and I never will download this game.

I do not support greedy publishers that create micro-transaction filled games to rob the players of their hard earned money.

It's hilarious watching people get all twisted over this considering that the art style that was used in Cuphead was nothing new. The art style that Cuphead used is a very, very old cartoon style used back in the 1920s.

"Steamboat Willie" was an animated short created by Disney in 1928. Look it up, and stop being ridiculous.

I've never truly understood why brands related to gaming and geekdom in general tend to not carry shirts in larger sizes.

Stardew Valley is one of my favorite games on the Nintendo Switch, so yes absolutely 100% I am looking forward to this update!

I honestly don't see this as a bad thing for Stardew Valley and it's creator seeing as the creator is now also the sole publisher of the game.

ConcernedApe made an amazingly fantatstic game in Stardew Valley. I have put more hours in to that game on my Switch than I have probably any other game I own on that platform. If he wants to self publish, more power to him. I look forward to any new games he brings to us in the future.

I hope everyone is safe over there. Take care all.

I used to love this game back in the day. This will be a purchase for sure.

I love love love love LOVE Donkey Kong Country on Switch, so this is a must buy for me.

I'm wanting Ghostbusters, Call of Cthulu, and Yooka

NIntendo Switch is a major success because of NINTENDO. All the copy cats are not NINTENDO. End of story.

"While you still can"... Thanks customer base that pushed for digitally sold games. You rule... NOT!

@BlueOcean Stardew Valley

Ok, this looks fun.

Maybe it's just because I'm an older gamer (46), but I 100% prefer physical copies of games (and no download code in the case) over digital purchases. I think that the younger customer base that prefer buying digital copies will understand why us older folks like physical copies when twenty years from now when their favorite old games no longer are available because support for XYZ console was stopped at some point.

Yes. Gamestop has some bad management practices, and it needs to be reorganized. The problem is that the more we see these kinds of stores go away, the more we push the industry towards all digital game sales.

The only reason we still have the full library of games from systems like NES, SNES, GB, GG, Genesis, etc today is because of physical media. With out the physical games, most of these libraries would be completely gone.

One prime example is the Ducktales game that got pulled from all digital formats recently because of licensing ending. That game is gone now unless you had purchased it before it was taken off all digital stores.

Completed. I'm always ready to do my part to make sure that the industry knows what "I WANT" by filling out surveys.

I'd rather fill out surveys and get things I enjoy rather than not fill out surveys and get stuff I don't want.

Great game. I would have loved if it was available in physical form.

@Maxz Yes. Yes I am. Thank you for asking.

The clam shell has been a staple of the 3DS/2DS for many, many years, and it works! Why they chose to make their NEW mobile handheld console not have a clam shell is just completely bizarre.

They could have crammed a 2DS in to the top part, and made the Switch Lite be backwards compatible with the full line of 3DS/2DS library. Then the Switch Lite would have been a must buy. As it is right now, the Switch Lite is a meh at best.

People are reading way too much in to this change.

First off, they aren't dropping support for the platforms.

Secondly, note that this is ONLY in Europe. This all has to do with the law passed in Europe that requires multi party validation for credit card purchases over the Internet. The Switch eshop already has this built in.

They will add credit card support back as soon as they make an update for the platforms to meet the new restrictions.

Calm down. The sky is not falling. sheesh

When something is damn near perfect, there isn't much to add to it.

and... nobody cares. NEXT!

@FiveDigitLP Thanks! Just bought Transistor. Been wanting that game. $3.99 is a steal for it.

Am I missing something because I just checked, and World Cruise Story does not have a demo button on Nintendo.com?

Eastward is a must have. I thought it looked similar to the graphical styling of Stardew Valley.

Tochlight II will be a great addition to my collection.

The Touryst looks great too.

Tony Hawk for life.

I want. Give me.

Looks beautiful.

This looks great. I will have to pick this one up for sure.

I want this game, but I absolutely refuse to buy any RPG in digital form. These are precisely the kinds of games that you want in physical form because they are the types of games you pick back up 10 to 20 years later to play again and again.

Make a physical release, and I will buy it.

@BanjoPickles No. I looked at the video that Nintendo released for the new games this month, and my initial reaction was I am not interested in either of them. The vast majority of the games they have released on the service have been games that I just don't care that much about.

There have been a few I have liked, and some that pulled on my nostalgia strings like Volleyball, but these two just do nothing for me.

We all know that the Switch is powerful enough for them to emulate NES, SNES, N64, Gamecube, and Gameboy games. It would be nice if they put out a game from two different platforms each month, and randomly rotate which platforms. For example, for November, they would have one game from SNES and one from Gamecube. Then in December have one from NES and one from Gameboy.

The way it's going right now, they are scraping the bottom of the barrel with NES games that most people didn't even bother playing back when the system was new. I'm 46, so I lived the full age of Atari, Commodore, Nintendo, Sega, Playstation. I was there, and I remember it. These games were not sought after in the least.
