Was eagerly awaiting this until I saw the latest trailer. It just seems unpolished. Animations and models, small details, just not quite what I was hoping for.
However, I do have game pass, so considering I can play it free it is better than a kick in the nuts.
Kingdom Battle is taking up my time at the moment. Trying to get back to Into The Breach and Tiny Metal FMR, and still have Valkyria Chronicles unstarted. I am in strategy hell right now.
@neogyo Don't worry, I'm hearing you. I have started so many long games, and nearly none of them have enough to keep me interested. My backlog is impossibly huge. I guess I want to be able to play the 100 hour rpgs I enjoyed when I was young but only have the time to put into a 10 hour title.
@mauhlin12 Trails in the Sky would make my day. I have the first on Vita but since I can't get them all, there is no point investing the time in one title.
@nin10doom You would have to include Ultra Despair Girls for the overall completion of the story though, despite the game being disappointing compared to the main series imo.
Finally repurchased Mario and Rabbids Gold as I had to self my physical copy before getting to even start it. Grabbed the digital on sale the other day. Spreading myself between that and Tiny Metal FMR, also have Valkyrie Chronicles waiting...so much strategy....
Hopefully it is worth the $80 AUD I am having to fork out. Typically refuse to pay more than $60 AUD for a title, but a Nintendo game gives you little choice...and my physical BOTW will be sad without it.

Re: Hotline Miami Collection Removed From The Australian Switch eShop
Just set up a US eshop account. Will be buying some funds for it shortly. Australia can suck a fat one. Nanny state bs

Not if the title is overpriced to begin with
Re: TimeSplitters Co-Creator Joins THQ Nordic To "Plot The Future Course" Of The Series
Start with a full remake of 2, that will keep me happy at least.

@Severian or the console was dead anyway and it was a dramatic send off

Re: Review: Forager - A Delightful Fusion Of Stardew Valley And Harvest Moon That You Should Own
@neogyo I also use it as a tool to calculate whether I can justify the asking price.
Re: Review: Forager - A Delightful Fusion Of Stardew Valley And Harvest Moon That You Should Own
Crashlands is the only crafting/collecting game that has ever hooked me. I think the art style and humour helps a lot.
Re: Frame Rate Was One Of The "Top Priorities" For The Developer Of Daemon X Machina
@Heavyarms55 You're kidding right? That is an insult to helicopter sims. The demo sucked megaton levels of butt.
Re: Bloodstained Receives A Small Patch As Koji Igarashi Apologises For "Continued Inconvenience"

Re: Journey To The Outer Worlds When Obsidian's Space RPG Lands On Switch
This news gave me a tingling feeling in my arachnads.
Re: Guide: Where To Pre-Order The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening's Limited Edition
Surely for that price you would get a fully functional Game Boy with Zelda, not just a steel book.

Re: Devolver Digital Wants To Know What Game It Should Release Next On Switch
@Varkster SW 1&2 would be great. I only got part way through the first but really enjoyed it.
Re: Devolver Digital Wants To Know What Game It Should Release Next On Switch
@SeantheDon29 I was too poor at that title to get my money's worth.
Re: Devolver Digital Wants To Know What Game It Should Release Next On Switch
Hotline Miami bundle

Sorry, but I would trade this for a Nier port.

LTTP / LBW bundle on Switch will make me happy.
Re: Take A Look At The Bubsy: Paws On Fire! Launch Trailer For Nintendo Switch
Who asked for this? Seriously, Bubsy should have died on the SNES, and that is coming from someone who still has the original cart.
Re: Nintendo Focusing On Switch Install Base To Combat Next-Gen Performance Gap
@jarvismp https://switchplayer.net
Great little magazine. They put a tonne of work into it. I was subbed for the first 12 issues.
Re: Atlus Exceeded Its Sales Target For The Previous Fiscal Year, Despite Net Loss Of 904 Million Yen
P3, 4 & 5, Catherine FB etc for Switch. Plenty of titles that could take in plenty of cash. I know you would get mine. Also, get some SMTV released.
Re: Kamiko Has Now Sold More Than 250,000 Copies On The Switch eShop
I purchased on release but only played once.
Re: Review: My Friend Pedro - Totally And Utterly Bananas

Re: Bloodstained: Ritual Of The Night Has Game-Breaking Bug, Advice Given To Switch Owners
Watched a Livestream play of it yesterday, looks pretty average. Disappointing as I was keen on it.

Re: Last Year's N64 Trademark Has Finally Been Approved, N64 Mini On The Way?
Well they have two months to surprise drop and beat Sony's Classic from the same gen.
Re: Soapbox: We Like To Grumble, But Nintendo Switch Online Is Actually A Very Generous Offer
I wasn't happy paying for a Family Membership just so we could backup my kids' saves. I think that is pretty tight.
I would rather pay for a cloud save-only membership and not receive the crummy NES games.
Re: Video: Nintendo Switch Online Cloud Saves Offer Peace of Mind, But It’s Not Quite There Yet
Dead Cells does support. FIFA and Minecraft no.
Re: Super Bomberman R Update Adds Castlevania Stage, Five New Characters And New Mode
@zool I know. I have wanted to grab this for a while, but the price is so steep.
Re: Nintendo Switch System Update 6.0.0 Is Now Live
@gamerchick_22 Hope your console doesn't die and you lose all saves.
Re: Nintendo Switch System Update 6.0.0 Is Now Live
So far on my system FIFA and Minecraft won't allow cloud saves. Just a PSA.
Re: Wireless NES Controllers Won't Work With Other Games On Nintendo Switch
Are we expected to buy SNES, N64 and GCN controllers to also not use them?
Re: NES Games On Switch Playable For Up To Seven Days Without Internet Connection
@justin233 seriously, they need to retire the NES library for a while and bring us stuff from the SNES onwards.
I will get online for cloud saves, but the available games is seriously underwhelming so far.
Re: Luigi's Mansion 3 Will Be Haunting The Switch Next Year
I have tried so hard to enjoy LM2 on 3DS but just cannot get into it.
Re: Shmup-Platformer Velocity 2X Makes Its Nintendo Debut On Switch Next Week

A shame as I always intended on getting it.
Re: Bastion - A Captivating Indie Gem That Hasn't Been Dulled By The Passage Of Time
@chiefeagle02
So build that wall and build it strong
'Cause we'll be there before too long
Re: Bastion - A Captivating Indie Gem That Hasn't Been Dulled By The Passage Of Time
The soundtrack is also brilliant. Only OST I have purchased for a game (except for the free CD that came with Killer Instinct on SNES).
Re: Bastion - A Captivating Indie Gem That Hasn't Been Dulled By The Passage Of Time
Might grab it, despite having it on Steam and Vita.
Great game. Looking forward to seeing Transistor, never picked it up previously.
Re: Gone Home - A Peerless Masterclass In Interactive Storytelling Comes To Switch
