@TDS_Computer I'm not knocking the design, smart guy, I'm knocking the crappy quality of the 3D printed object itself. People tend to ooh and ahh over this crap but in reality, the quality of the manufactured piece done with a consumer model 3D printer is horrible.

Am I the only one who doesn't get excited about all of this 3D printed garbage? I'm sorry, but most of this stuff looks like complete crap.

10tons... of shovelware.

Hottie animated chicks kissing withing the first 15 seconds of video... SOLD!!!

The eShop is slowly starting to look like the Google Play store... that's NOT a compliment.

Please be more specific... is it playing at 720p in docked mode only or in docked AND handheld mode? If it plays at 720p60 in handheld mode, I'll jump all over this.

The textures look like a bowl of these:

So this is basically just an evolution of Jetpack Joyride (AKA Machine Gun Jetpack)...

The virtual-thumbstick in the video has me worried, this was obviously built for mobile phones first...

@SLIGEACH_EIRE Yeah, I couldn't handle having to listen to a Klaxon on a repeating loop...

@SLIGEACH_EIRE Woolly World was hands down the best Yoshi game to date. I'm with you, I can't wait to see what they do with Yoshi next.

"with a still too vague 'Q1 2018' slated in for a release date (so that's anytime between April and June)."

Perhaps you should check those Q's... wouldn't Q1 mean a release between January and March?

The super-deformed style seriously needs to go away, it's just such an eyesore to look at!

@Deanster101 They already reviewed it when it came to the Euro eShop, 5/10.

My lord, that art style! This looks absolutely delightful, I sure hope EA doesn't bung this one up.

This is like a long lost Mario themed episode that got cut from Heavy Metal...

Maximum degeneracy achieved...

In Mother Russia, you don't play Nintendo... Nintendo plays YOU!

Ever Oasis is one of the reasons I still regularly play on my 3DS.

This is one of the greatest games that I truly SUCK at!

@bezerker99 I'm a little confused how you ever decided to use a control scheme with both X-axis and Y-axis inverted. I totally understand inverting the Y-axis, I do the same as I used to be a hardcore PC flight sim enthusiast so it's natural for me to pull back to go up, by why would you want to press left to go right and right to go left?

Well, seeing as how I originally bought it on 3DS, bought it again on my iPhone, and I still long to play it on my Switch... looks like I'm going in for the triple-dip!

Just the concept makes my brain hurt, I think I'll pass on this one.

@AirElephant I totally agree. He's just far too snarky and impressed with himself, although does provide some good info.

@Devlind I agree. It's 50% cheaper than the official charge-grip and it looks like the "pupper" features are only stickers. If this ends up being well made and functional, I'd say it's a good way to save a few bucks.

Some people buy for the graphics, some people buy for the gameplay, others buy for the soundtrack... but not me. I'm going to buy for the developer's name!

This looks like a super abstract Pilotwings with like 10 times the amount of serenity... count me in!

@justin233 $15 isn't bad at all, actually. It's only 3 dollars less on Steam, and I can assure you that this game will suck you in for hours, especially once you start going wild in sandbox mode and making your own creations and downloading other people's published levels. Really, this would make a great addition to anyone's Switch library if you're into physics/puzzle games.

I'm not gonna lie, this looks so raw I just HAVE to check it out!

This looks AWESOME!

@BanjoPickles Yeah, I had to play that back a couple times from the 49 second mark, but I do believe that was indeed N@zi He-Man.

Just cancelled my pre-order, thanks for saving me some money! Honestly, I'm kinda bummed that this ended up being such a poor execution, I was really looking forward to this game. I'll wait and see if they're able to salvage it through patches in the future, but given the turbulent development, I won't hold my breath.

Sony is proud to announce the new "Nintendo PSP Switch-Cube Vita!"

@admwllms Jump to 1:14 in the video, there appears to be a hood-cam type view. Not the same as in-car, but certainly a better option if you don't like behind-car views.

@Hughesy While it's obviously the same game at it's core, I think it should be noted that the AI was likely tuned to cater to the limitations of touchscreen/accelerometer controls. If it truly ends up being the same game minus the paywall, I won't be giving it a go either. However, if the developer has reworked the driving model and AI to be more in line with console expectations, I see no reason to overlook it just because of it's roots.

Honestly, I don't understand why everyone is condemning this before they've even played it or read a proper review just because it started out as a mobile game. From the looks of it, the game has been completely retooled to be full fledged console game. From what I understand, they've turned up the graphics, they've obviously redone the input system to accommodate physical controls, and they've added a whole lot of content. Of coarse the "free-2-play" mobile version was crap, most mobile games are. If these guys can turn what they have into a full on console sim, I really don't see any reason not to give it a fair shake.

No thanks, looks like a purse.

Sorry, but this looks like the "free-to-play" trash you see on Androids and iPhones.

Can this whole sub-genre just please go away now? Physical microtransactions are the ultimate manifestation of shaking down gamers, as though it wasn't bad enough when microtransactions were limited to the digital world...

@cfgk24 That's correct. It's worth noting though that non-Nintendo power supplies that will actually power the dock are difficult to find. The issue isn't just whether the power supply can provide enough power, the power supply must support a very specific protocol know as USB-PD (Power Delivery). To make matters even more confusing, power adapters that support Power Delivery only output in USB-C, but not all adapters that only output in USB-C support power delivery. There are so far a couple of companies that are marketing power bundles specifically for the Switch like the one from Bionik Gaming:

https://www.bionikgaming.com/products/rapid-charge-kit

As it is now, I would stick with the official Nintendo product or something like the products from Bionik or Nyko to avoid confusion over compatibility.

@cfgk24 You're in the ballpark, but not quite there... there is no "handshake" between the Nintendo power adapter and the Switch like there is with Lightning cables and iPhones/iPads. The issue is that the dock needs a 15v/2.25amp supply of power to run, otherwise known as a USB-PD (Power Delivery) profile, which counts out most USB power supplies. If you use a USB power adapter that is rated for USB-PD, the dock does indeed function. As far as I know, this is also the case with aftermarket docks.

So many guns... Call of Minecraft!

@Ralek85 I lost all interest in new Star Wars games when they cancelled 1313... what a sad day that was.

I just downloaded The Flame in the Flood and I'll be firing that up after work. Assuming it clicks with me, I'll probably play it for most of the weekend, but I may have to make some time for more Steamworld Dig 2.

$14.99 on Steam, $29.99 on the Switch... NOPE!

I've played the mobile version, this isn't worth paying for just for physical controls. Frankly, I think giving it a 6 is being generous.

I swear, the 3DS just won't die, and I'm totally okay with that! Despite having Switch, I still find myself playing my 3DS quite a bit, keep supporting it Nintendo.

This looks almost as bad as the game with the witch flying a bicycle... almost.

Add up ANOTHER Konami game... Metal Warriors!
