@NickOfTime90 Nice, I would have had your bundle over Fifa , i got the day one edition , and i will never be doing that again with a microsoft product. I got W3 on ps4 , and you know what, i'd love a port of it to switch , a guy can dream.
That console bundle will sell a ton, i remember when the Xbone launched and they gave you a fifa code instead of a boxed version. The whole code with console isnt a new thing , and just offers additional choice if your not fussed about a physical copy.
@Fake-E-Lee I appreciate the reply , i thought as much. Ive just purchased it so im invested now lol. Thats kingdom, rayman and sonic mania this week :/
@Fake-E-Lee Would you say it seems that this review was rushed , or that it really is that subjective that it can be polar opposite for different players?
I couldnt agree more , im a busy guy like most of us on this site , and at 27 i seem to have less and less time to enjoy gaming. The switch has not only given me that joy back on my commutes and flights, but every dang time i have it with me friends and colleagues want to play too.
The switch clicking joycons coming together before every advert now makes me think of people coming together lol
I took my switch to a friends yesterday , we had dinner and then the 4 of us played mario kart and sonic mania till the early hours , it's resulted in two of my mates ordering switch consoles this morning.
@NintendoFan4Lyf I imagine your right and they'll use snowdrop engine for more titles.
It could also be that they were using snowdrop for Steep , which was a launch announcement but has hit what appears to be trouble in development. So mario + rabbids has ended up beating it to a release. I dont think it fairs well for Steep that kingdom battle is 600p undocked, personally for me gameplay over graphics anyday, but if they cant get steep to an acceptable standard say 600p 30fps in undocked a la M+R , then the portable aspect of the switch is going to cause headaches to other devs too.
Like the 136 people ahead of me , im very suprised to see this announced , i'll buy it, i didnt get to finish it last time due to something or other. Nice to see an adult AAA come to switch , even if it is 6 years old. Now , if we can start seeing some other games from rockstar , that'd be swell.
@Jacob1092 Here's to a great year 2! I was actually very suprised we didnt see a smash deluxe for christmas, but it may have eaten into mario odyssey sales, so it makes sense in a way to let that chill into next year.
I'm very optimistic for the system, im really interested to see what the next bonafide system seller is after M.Odyssey.
@Jacob1092 I'll take some of that positivity lol, I hope your right , I can't imagine what else they would have cooking to have a 1st party release for nearly every month of the year like the current stategy has been.
But as you say, they could be upto literally anything.
All i know is I'm stoked for Wulverblade, I didn't even know that game existed until the nindies event. Having indies portable for me personally sets the switch apart from any of its competition.
Good to hear that retail is having a good time with what stock they aquire.
The system will need to continue to attract indies at quite a pace to keep the lineup of titles healthy as nintendo start to inevitably slow down the releases of first party games.
Very impressive result for the game in my opinion.
To be in 2nd against an uncharted thats half the price is respectable isnt it?
No ps4 or xbone games have tempted me for months and months, every game purchase ive made since march have been for my switch , i bet im not the only one.
There's quite a few that look really cool to me , nine parchments is day one for sure. Wulverblade looks neat, as does steamworld dig, mulaka and earth atlantis.
I bought treasure trove but couldnt get into it , which is a shame because so many people really rate it. I'll give it another shot when i finish mario + rabbids.
I played for an hour last night and again on my commute to work for about an hour, im really happy with it. The performance seems great to me, and i love the art style , it really pops even in handheld mode.
Looks pretty interesting and the art style is beautiful , nice to see devs bringing things forward too , the system and ease of publishing must be on point.
I'm waiting for 9 parchments, and i would love a Final fantasy collection that includes ff7 , and Suikoden 2 would be a treat to go back too, last played that on psone when i was about 8 or 9.
My local Game store closed last week , which means if i want to buy at retail I now have to go a couple towns along.
They are ultimately on the way out, no doubt about it, and they can only blame themselves. The unfortunate thing is not only does that remove choice for gamers in the UK which is always a bad thing, but people are gonna be left jobless.

Lots of goodies for those that want them.

Re: Oceanhorn Is Getting a Demo on the Switch eShop
Demo's are a brilliant thing for consumers , the only people that lose out are devs who make mediocre titles.
