I got the DLC early because I love turn based games and figured I'd dive into it. Honestly though, I wish would've bought another awesome eShop title instead.
Personally I love the attempt to widen the audience. A huge draw is taking the traditional console experience on the go. Excluding M rated games would really dent the narrative.
@GraveLordXD while you're not wrong, you're also cherry picking. User reviews across all platforms on Metacritic hasn't eclipsed a 6. Steam reviews over the past 30 days are still collectively classified as "mixed." Adding that to your rosier picture of a 70+% rating is how I arrived at "mediocre."
@speedracer216 The donk is about to get even more real - A Mario Jr. game is just around the corner, I can smell it. Mario and Peach are the next Pacman family.
Ready to triple dip. This game pushes all the right buttons for me, from the punishing gameplay to the Lovecraft-inspired design. Great game and perfect match for the Switch!
Fire Emblem is getting the shaft because of it's close release date to Odyssey. I'll likely only get FE if it absolutely crushes its reviews scores, which I don't expect.
Definitely Mario Odyssey. Probably LA Noir, though I need to finish Thimbleweed Park first (another mystery game). I'm all over the Batman game.
Will probably skip Skyrim since Xenoblade is just around the corner too.

Re: Snake Pass Is Half Off on the North American eShop
Um...pass?
Re: Video: So, Just How Red are the Super Mario Odyssey Joy-Con Controllers?
Happy with my neon blue and red controllers (4). If anything I'm thinking pro controller, especially after picking up NBA 2K18.
Re: Fire Emblem Warriors Makes Top 20 UK Chart Debut, But Can't Pass Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
@BulkSlash "If this had come out earlier in the year when things were quiet I’d have bought it"
That's true for me as well. I mean, look at Bomberman's success as a launch title.
Re: Super Meat Boy Releases on Switch This Year
Eh, will stick to Shovel Knight.
Re: Action RPG Moonlighter Has Been Confirmed for Switch
Looks very cool. Looks kind of like Bastion with the white hair protagonist. Speaking of which...
Re: Batman - The Telltale Series Finally Gets Release Date Confirmation for Switch
Mother#&+$%...too many must-buys. Don't have the time.
Re: Review: Fire Emblem Warriors (Switch)
Soft pass. The only remaining must-buys for me through the end of the year are Mario, Xenoblade, and Doom.
Re: ARMS Version 3.2 Is Now Live
Making a great game greater
Re: There'll be a Free Fire Emblem Warriors Japanese Voice Pack to Download
@Al_Godoy I feel exactly the same about Mario+Rabbids, 'cept I bought it
Re: Soapbox: The Switch Has a Big Problem, and It's Too Many Great Games
@SLIGEACH_EIRE No love for ARMS or Splatoon 2, huh? Not to mention Golf Story...
Re: DLC Review: Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle - Ultra Challenge Pack
I'm midway through world 3 and the game does get tougher. It'll be a while before I visit these challenges and I already bought the DLC
Re: Cat Quest Tentatively Positioned for a November Launch
@Loserkid41 Ah, No kidding? Hmm. Thanks fo clarifying.
Re: Cat Quest Tentatively Positioned for a November Launch
Makes sense from the developer's standpoint. The move from mobile to Switch = better profit margins. Why charge $5 when you can charge $13, amirite?
Edit: Turns out it was a Steam game before a mobile game. Hmm, maybe worth checking out.
Re: The Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle Ultra Challenge Pack DLC is Now Live
I got the DLC early because I love turn based games and figured I'd dive into it. Honestly though, I wish would've bought another awesome eShop title instead.
Re: Soapbox: Breath Of The Wild Is Amazing, But Is It The Game That Zelda Enthusiasts Expected?
Oh...it's another one of those "now that the hype has settled" articles
Re: DOOM Confirmed for Nintendo Switch Launch on 10th November
Anything that is not Mario Odyssey is going to take a back seat to this.
Re: New Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Screens Show Off Dromarch, Who You Can Ride Through the World
It's been long enough since BotW, that I'm ready for another big, meaty RPG.
Re: Nintendo is Reportedly Eager to See More Mature Games on the Switch
Personally I love the attempt to widen the audience. A huge draw is taking the traditional console experience on the go. Excluding M rated games would really dent the narrative.
Re: Nintendo is Reportedly Eager to See More Mature Games on the Switch
@Ventilator please yes...bring a Civ Revolution game to the Switch
Re: The Flame in the Flood Has "Smashed" Its Launch Targets on the Switch eShop
Does look interesting. Still Steamworld Dig and Stardew Valley are higher on my eShop queue.
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - The Triumphant(?) Return
Recently finished Thimbleweed Park. Good, but kind of exhausting. It's about a 7 for me.
Going to progress through Mario+Rabbids and Golf Story this weekend.
Re: Review: NBA 2K18 (Switch)
Check out Metacritic across all platforms. The user reviews are brutal. I guess they didn't wait until patch day.
Re: Review: NBA 2K18 (Switch)
It still bothers me that this game wasn't judged for what it was on day one. The ridiculously huge save game files also bother me.
That being said, I might still pick this up because I'm just that desperate for a sports game on Switch.
Re: Nintendo Download: 12th October (North America)
^ Yep. My poor wallet needs a rest.
Re: Square Enix Explains Why The Secret Of Mana Remake Isn't Coming To Switch
@rjejr Ha, pretty much. Still...I'd buy more remakes for the Switch.
Re: Injustice 2 Director on the Possibility of Bringing the Game to Switch
I would gratefully accept either one.
Re: Feature: The Biggest Nintendo Switch eShop Games of 2017 - Fall / Winter Edition
My choices: Nine Parchments, Rocket League, and Owlboy!
Re: DOOM Provides a 'Good Reference Point' to What Wolfenstein II Will Offer on Switch
Doom, day-one.
Re: Infinite Minigolf Gets a 30% Discount on the Switch eShop
Eh...don't feel the need, now that I have Golf Story.
Re: Review: Earth Atlantis (Switch eShop)
Looks cool, but its limited color palette is throwing me off.
Re: The Mummy Demastered Comes Out on 24th October
Looks good, but it'll have to be great to merit a purchase in October.
Re: Squareboy Vs. Bullies Lands On Switch This Week
Fortunately, there's enough titles coming to the Switch, there's really no reason to pick anything up that's not absolutely stellar.
Re: Exclusive: A First Look at Plague Road on Nintendo Switch
Turn based strategy is my favorite genre so I'll definitely be checking this out. Hopefully it's good.
Re: The Flame in the Flood Begins Its Journey on Switch Next Week
@GraveLordXD while you're not wrong, you're also cherry picking. User reviews across all platforms on Metacritic hasn't eclipsed a 6. Steam reviews over the past 30 days are still collectively classified as "mixed." Adding that to your rosier picture of a 70+% rating is how I arrived at "mediocre."
Re: The Flame in the Flood Begins Its Journey on Switch Next Week
Cool concept and it looks good, but this game got pretty mediocre reviews on Steam and Metacritic.
Re: Nintendo Download: 5th October (North America)
Golf Story jumped in and took Star Dew's formerly reserved slot for me. I'll come back for it later... probably after Odyssey though.
Re: Super Mario Odyssey Director Explains Why the Life Counter Has Been Dropped
I'm ok with it. I'd say my tolerance for dying frequently is lower in platformers than other game types.
Re: Poll: The Switch eShop is Hot, But Is It Time for an Overhaul of Its User Interface?
Add some Steam sales 😁
Re: A Just Dance 2018 Demo is Now Available on Nintendo Switch and Wii U
Nope.
Re: Random: There's a Mario and Peach Marriage License Available In Japan
@speedracer216 The donk is about to get even more real - A Mario Jr. game is just around the corner, I can smell it. Mario and Peach are the next Pacman family.
Re: Deals: Zelda, Mario Odyssey and Fire Emblem amiibo Are Available For Pre-Order On Play-Asia
Eh...just when I'm about to pull the trigger for Amiibo, I realize I could pick up another indie title for the same price. Just isn't for me I guess.
Re: Darkest Dungeon is Another Critically Acclaimed Download Heading to the Switch eShop
@SetupDisk Totally! I'm actually super pumped to start a fresh run with all the new DLC in place. Hopefully it'll be bundled together to begin with.
Re: Stardew Valley Arrives on the Switch eShop This Week
I've bitten off more than I can chew currently. Will keep this on my short list though.
Re: Darkest Dungeon is Another Critically Acclaimed Download Heading to the Switch eShop
Ready to triple dip. This game pushes all the right buttons for me, from the punishing gameplay to the Lovecraft-inspired design. Great game and perfect match for the Switch!
Re: Review: BUTCHER (Switch eShop)
Seems interesting.
Re: Deals: Upcoming Nintendo Switch Games And Accessories For October And November
Fire Emblem is getting the shaft because of it's close release date to Odyssey. I'll likely only get FE if it absolutely crushes its reviews scores, which I don't expect.
Definitely Mario Odyssey. Probably LA Noir, though I need to finish Thimbleweed Park first (another mystery game). I'm all over the Batman game.
Will probably skip Skyrim since Xenoblade is just around the corner too.
So many good choices though, I love it.
Re: Review: Golf Story (Switch eShop)
@BustedUpBiker pretty sure you can turn rumble off in the settings. I can see why you might not want to do that though.
Re: Review: Golf Story (Switch eShop)
Was a day-one purchase for me. Perfect game for the Switch.
Re: Nintendo Aims to Flush Out the Best Players in the Next Splatoon 2 Splatfest
Anyone who has played Thimbleweed Park will appreciate this theme.
Re: ARMS Version 3.1.0 Is Now Available
ARMS is pretty much just a party/co-op game in my house. I play it a little more than Snipperclips. Still glad I purchased it though.
