10 - expected nothing less. Looking forward to Friday.

A Sonic Mania like game for Mario Bros. would be kinda cool, leveraging the traditional pixel look.

Whether fair or not, I feel NL is already poised to drop a big fat turd on this game for its review.

Advance Wars sounds like a no-brainer. Would like to see Final Fantasy make a return to Nintendo as well

Also, Duck Hunt, Ken Griffey Jr. Baseball, and F-Zero.

Folks blaming the streamer didn't read the article.

My interest in phone games has plummeted since getting the Switch.

Looks solid and it sounds like the execution is solid. However, you honestly have to completely blow me away to convince me to purchase another Zelda clone.

Pre-ordered the cartridge on Amazon Prime for a discount several months ago.

My body is ready...

More interested in Doom, Wolfenstein, and LA Noir.

Steam sales put this to shame...or any sale for that matter.

Still, if you're planning to get some of these anyway it's not a bad time to take the leap.

Um...pass?

Happy with my neon blue and red controllers (4). If anything I'm thinking pro controller, especially after picking up NBA 2K18.

@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.

Eh, will stick to Shovel Knight.

Looks very cool. Looks kind of like Bastion with the white hair protagonist. Speaking of which...

Mother#&+$%...too many must-buys. Don't have the time.

Soft pass. The only remaining must-buys for me through the end of the year are Mario, Xenoblade, and Doom.

Making a great game greater

@Al_Godoy I feel exactly the same about Mario+Rabbids, 'cept I bought it

@SLIGEACH_EIRE No love for ARMS or Splatoon 2, huh? Not to mention Golf Story...

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

@Loserkid41 Ah, No kidding? Hmm. Thanks fo clarifying.

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.

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.

Oh...it's another one of those "now that the hype has settled" articles

Anything that is not Mario Odyssey is going to take a back seat to this.

It's been long enough since BotW, that I'm ready for another big, meaty RPG.

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.

@Ventilator please yes...bring a Civ Revolution game to the Switch

Does look interesting. Still Steamworld Dig and Stardew Valley are higher on my eShop queue.

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.

Check out Metacritic across all platforms. The user reviews are brutal. I guess they didn't wait until patch day.

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.

^ Yep. My poor wallet needs a rest.

@rjejr Ha, pretty much. Still...I'd buy more remakes for the Switch.

I would gratefully accept either one.

My choices: Nine Parchments, Rocket League, and Owlboy!

Doom, day-one.

Eh...don't feel the need, now that I have Golf Story.

Looks cool, but its limited color palette is throwing me off.

Looks good, but it'll have to be great to merit a purchase in October.

Fortunately, there's enough titles coming to the Switch, there's really no reason to pick anything up that's not absolutely stellar.

Turn based strategy is my favorite genre so I'll definitely be checking this out. Hopefully it's good.

@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."

Cool concept and it looks good, but this game got pretty mediocre reviews on Steam and Metacritic.

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.

I'm ok with it. I'd say my tolerance for dying frequently is lower in platformers than other game types.

Add some Steam sales 😁

Nope.

@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.
