Yesss! Bring back Rayman Ubisoft! Give us that proper Rayman 4! Or a new Origins/Legends style game!

I hate Sega's recent trend of cutting out content for their "digital deluxe" editions. Sonic Colours was the most egregious to me. Makes it difficult to support them.

"but for goodness sake, it's definitely him"

That aged well.

@tapdancingtommy Of course it's possible. And yes that's exactly what I said. I've pointed it out on this website time and time again in a civilised manner, but that's got us nowhere. I'm not an "***hole" as you politely put it. I'm just fed up of the differential treatment between regions.

@tapdancingtommy Yep! Just pointing out the discrepancies between the reporting of American news and EU news on this website.

@dartmonkey Thanks for that!

@fox_mattcloud I know that. That's not the issue. It's Nlife's disparity in the way they report on regional news that's the problem.

So they just admitted that they're not going to change a thing. No slowing down the ridiculous release schedule. They're just having "conversations" about it now. Which means doing nothing.

@HeeHo Not just you. These controllers are terrible quality.

Maybe Vampire Survivors for the 2 player mode, but I think I'm mostly seeing out the year with Pikmin, the new Mario, and the new Warioware. Then hopefully Level 5's stuff early next year!

I like looking through this website. It's cool they got one of the Labo Switches!

Will they fill 80% of it with phone apps nobody cares about again?

@Otoemetry Oh sorry about the broken link. I'm happy you got it though!

@Otoemetry If you still want the Bayonetta 3 special edition, The Game Collection have stock: https://www.thegamecollection.net/bayonetta-3-trinity-masquerade-edition-switch?sqr=bayonetta%203

I'm sure it's good. But I've already played Hollow Knight and Ender Lillies, I have the Ori games, Castlevania Advance Collection and Metroid Dread still to play, and Silk Song whenever that comes out. I really don't need any more Metroidvanias.

"boss characters that were added in as DLC for the original release are playable here as well"

I'm confused by this. DS games didn't have DLC, so what do you mean?

@HeadPirate Well, we did get Everybody 1-2-Switch recently. XD

I don't think I've ever seen spoilers for a game unless I actively looked for them. Except when Nintendo decides to spoil character lore in the Directs when they announce them for Smash.

@Scposteel It's a first and second party list. So that's why there's no Mega Man, Dragon Quest, Chrono Trigger, etc.

The phone wallpaper downloads of the front and back covers are nice. You can get them by clicking "more" on the last page.

They look really cool, but a bit pointless with so many missing features. Put a rolling d-pad on there like a Sega Saturn/Megadrive controller, and I'd be interested.

@LikelySatan Well for me at least, being in Europe, often if Limited Run publishes a game it doesn't get a physical European release, although this isn't always the case. And LRG's customer service and general quality have been on a steady decline, I believe. Add in the FOMO and extortionate second-hand prices for their games, I think most people would prefer a normal physical release in shops that's easier and cheaper to get.

@EvrgrnCmln Kinda the lack of one. There is the good twist where we discover who the main character is. But we don't know exactly how his wife died. And there's no way to actually save her. And after slowly piecing together what's been causing the mutated fish and weird phenomena, the game just ends with either you trying to resurrect your wife and the world ending, or you throwing the book back, and dying anyway. What was the point in any of the game? It's all so bitterly sad and pointless. You die anyway. Nothing made any difference. And there's no replayability. Once you know what happens, there's really no point in playing again. So for me, it just left a bitter taste, and I don't see much point in returning to it. Which is a shame, because spooky mysteries and deep sea horrors? Awesome. Totally my thing.

It was a cool, intriguing game, massively let down by its ending for me. And now I see no point in ever playing it again. It's such a shame.

@Bret Same lol

If you're going to mention stuff like Warioware, DLC, and ports as big releases for the Switch, then "Skyward Sword was Nintendo's last significant release in November 2011" is definitely wrong. Nintendo published The Last Story, Project Zero 2 Wii Edition, Pandora's Tower, and Beat the Beat: Rhythm Paradise after Skyward Sword. Kirby's Dream Collection too, in NA and JP. Granted it wasn't quite into year 7, but your statement seems disingenuous.

Anyway, I'm glad the Switch is still getting support. It's exciting to imagine how many more games I'll grab for the system before it finally dies.

Wtf does someone like Kotick even do with over $150m a year??!! Totally disgusting! Strip at least $140m off that and distribute it around the company as higher wages for the workers!

I assume the main problem is that it'll have all the fun sanitized out of it, because it's a Nintendo game that must be harmless. Jackbox is better because you can totally take the mick out of each other and troll each other, and make terrible jokes. This looks far too bland.

Sounds pretty good to me, and very unique. I'm looking forward to getting stuck into it!

I'll stick with Jackbox, thanks.

What a surprise. Management F***s up, but it's the lowly employees who take the hit. I guess their billions of dollars weren't enough for their investors.

@Ralizah This reviewer's reviews very rarely make sense.

@Adol-Bannings Oh absolutely, NA is a huge market with one language. I get that. It's just frustrating sometimes trying to find an article about games, anime, or manga coming to Europe, written in English. Google points to NA release dates and articles, even if you put "Europe" in the search most of the time.

@TeaCatherine It's pretty much a lost cause at this point. I'd be happy if they just pointed out when news stories only apply to NA (as this one does). NA-only news will be posted with no indication of such in the headline or tagline, then it might state deep in the article that it only applies to NA. EU-only news will have a big "only in Europe" or similar in the headline, with "not confirmed for NA" in the tagline, and finally the first line of the article will say, "This hasn't been confirmed for NA yet, but don't worry Americans, we'll update it immediately if we hear differently! Don't worry!!!!!!!" Everything is targeted towards Americans. Everyone else is secondary.

@Circasurviver And then our European one doesn't even have the "playable in 2D" text either. Use ours, Nlife! XD

Well that was obvious. No buy.

New art style, more expression, new music, new playable characters, and much more imaginative looking levels. I've never been so hyped for a 2D Mario game in my life!

Well Frontiers' DLC pack 2 is supposed to include "Sonic's Birthday", which is on friday, so I assume that'll drop at the end of the presentation. Some more details of release plans for Super Stars would be be nice too. I wouldn't mind a port of a classic Sonic game, but Sega's record with those isn't great; the Colours remaster was poor, and they've screwed up Origins too.

An actually good-looking Mario game for once has me stunned. Warioware will be a laugh, and I'm interested in Detective Pikachu. Of course Sonic Superstars looks great, and the full Pikmin collection on Switch is nice. Might look at Star ocean, too. Overall, a pretty good Direct.

The camera position of that dog microgame is unfortunate.

Genuinely looks like the best 2D Mario I've ever seen! Mario's gone full drugs, and I love it!

@Mattock1987 @TeaCatherine Well we used to, I guess. I still do.

@ComfyAko @Mattock1987 That 's what people call "videogames" in the UK.

@duffmmann Full disclosure, it's probably the over the top, fake happiness of the players and American accent of the host. I'm probably being unfairly critical as a Brit, but these (usually American) fake, overreaction-filled adverts are just grating.

I think Nintendo have actually lost their minds. This trailer is awful, but I am genuinely curious to see how this plays out.

Yay, hoping for some new Layton footage! Other than that, whatever is good. Surprise me!

Damn. I would have been really interested in this, but it's 2K, so it'll be full of mtx crap. A crying shame.

Well, Tencent bought Sumo Digital unfortunately. So this makes sense.
