I want to get this, but I've sunk so much $$$ into my PC gaming this year that I'm going to have to wait for a sale on Pikman before I can pick it up. I'll either treat myself to the game come Christmas, or buy it sooner if it falls to at least 25% off for a physical copy.
Not into monster battlers myself, but both my (adult-aged) sons love them, so I may gift this to each of them to play in their spare time. Misread the developer name at first and thought it said Capybara. Would have bought regardless of my interest in the genre if it were from them.
This is quite simply one of the best RPG puzzlers out there (and yeah, I recognize there aren't necessarily a ton of those). Addictive, simple to understand and play, easily playable for only minutes at a time or for hours if you want to binge-play, and oh-so-satisfying when you pull off a great attack chain. Hoping for a physical release, but I'll be getting this digitally when I get home to my switch tonight. I played this completely start-to-finish multiple times on the DS, and I'm ready to do it again on the Switch.
Very interested, but a little concerned about the "Dedicated Servers" bit. What happens when those go away? I assume we'll still have single-player, but will there be any multi-player option then? I know, I know - it's unlikely I'll still be playing by that time, but I like to think about the "what if" questions just in case I love this.
Looking forward to this game. Pre-ordered it last year on Amazon only for it to get cancelled. Ordered again tonight since it's listed once more. Downloading the demo now. I know how I'm spending tomorrow.
Already have this on order. Liked watching the kids play this on the Wii but never tried my hand at it. Looking forward to experiencing it myself on 3DS.
Just started playing Wargroove, of course, and already in love with it. Really well done. Hadn't planned on building custom levels, but now I feel like I have to try. Hopefully I can get something built that is worth entering in the competition.
Already 3 hours into it. Love it - never played the original, but always wanted to. Playing on easier mode, though, as I don't have the time for hard RPGs that I used to.
Got to admit, this looks interesting to me. I rarely buy before reading reviews, but for just ten bucks I think I can risk the gamble here. Love puzzle games.
First place I saw this game mentioned didn't state the platform and I just assumed it was a Switch release. While I'm a PC gamer first and foremost, I still can't believe this will get released on PC and stay exclusive. This one will be coming to consoles, I'm sure.
Just got a 2nd copy of Breath of the Wild for my Switch (BestBuy this week, $36 with gamer's club discount), since my son took my original copy when he got his Switch. I'll be replaying Zelda this weekend.
I would love to get something like this for my son to take to his church group every week and to his friends' houses on the weekend, but I'm too cautious about bricking since the Nyko problem. Would appreciate getting something like this from Nintendo that would travel in the Switch case with his spare controllers, since I worry about future firmware causing another bricking wave from non-Nintendo dongles.
Will probably be picking this up soon. It looks a little Diablo-ish from what little video I've seen of it, but it sounds more like Don't Starve from the review here. Either of those is fine by me, though, as I like both those games.
Wanted this physical, but couldn't bring myself to pay a $20 premium to get it on cartridge. Bought digital for $20, and fell in love in the first 2 minutes of play. Cleverly done, excellent in the early stages, and smooth playing. Really enjoying this one. Will re-buy in physical form if it drops a good bit, but happy with the digital download for now.
I really am interested in this game, but I look for the words "casual friendly" in write-ups of games at this point in my life, not so much the "hard as nails" notation that this one gets. May consider it if the price hits <$10, but I'm thinking I still have to wait on this for today.
Will probably pick this up now. I wanted this from day 1, but I'm really not good at these kinds of games (even though I really like them - old reflexes and all). Easy mode makes it much more appealing for me.
Just found my PSP. Still have N+ on it. Only cleared about 1/3 of the levels. Gets crazy tough as you get further in, but in a good way. Will buy on Switch.
@Bonus-Level That's excellent to hear. I will probably get this knowing I have a reasonable chance of having the funds to unlock the checkpoints. I love gaming, but I'm really, really bad at it, so I have to have pretty easy gaming options available.
Got a 200GB in my Switch and buy 75%+ physical so only have used up half my available storage, but I'd still like this if I could afford it. With games like L.A. Noire (which i finally broke down and bought) requiring huge chunks of your memory, more can be a good thing.
Bought digital on release, but will buy physical when it arrives. Like having games like this available in cartridge form for when I upgrade my console and pass the old one to the kids.
Well, I'll probably be picking this up. Just moderately interested in it, but my wife love's the games that this is an homage to, so she'll probably play it a bit, too. That's my thing - always thinking of others.
Hmmm. Really want to try this, but so many good games still in my backlog that I can't decide whether or not to get this. Review makes me want it, but not enough to pull the trigger just yet.
Bought as soon as I saw it on the store. Not disappointed. Loving this. Reminds me of Dungeon Scroll or Bookworm Adventures, although it is a little different from either of those. Liking it more than Spellspire right now, but I'm only about 2 hours into Spellspire.
Will pick it up when/if it hits <$30. Have stated before I'm too bothered by the download size required to get the full single-player experience to pay full price, but really want to try out the game. Hoping for a great sale price in the near future.
Pretty much every game is inspired by or steals from some other game. I don't think this whole "XXX borrows from/is inspired by YYY" even makes sense to argue. And when XXX and YYY are as different as the games being referenced, it seems even a little silly to make a big fuss about it.
Have wanted to play this for a while, but never picked it up for PS4. Guess when I do buy it I'll be getting it on the Switch now. I love portability too much to be locked to a TV now when given the option to do otherwise.
Pre-ordered this from Amazon (US). Was supposed to get release date delivery. Still waiting on shipping confirmation. Looking forward to getting to play it whenever it does arrive.
Well I, for one, am looking forward to some of these. My kids loved dynamite fishing on the phone, so I'll probably pick that up for them. And Panzer Panic was fun for me on the phone, so if the price is good on that I'll likely double-dip. I understand some folks aren't excited about these, but this isn't a company that does, in my opinion, just garbage games, so I think their offerings will add to the appeal of the Switch for some folks.
This game really sounds good to me, but I'm still bothered by the required download size even for the cartridge version of the game. Will probably pick it up at some point, but I think I'll have to wait for a sale on this one. Still dreaming of a deluxe physical release with the full game on the cartridge - that I'd pay extra for them to pay Nintendo for a larger cartridge.

Re: Video: Fox n Forests Is Looking Particularly Gorgeous In This Latest Footage

Going on the wishlist. Absolute must-buy if it is physical. Will wait for a sale if only digital. I'm just selective like that.

Want this physical, but at that price will pre-purchase digital. And probably still triple-dip if we get a physical release.
