@Bunkerneath combat is turn-based (old-school Final Fantasy style)

Ah yes, waiting for this game has been just like waiting for each issue back in the day. Mr. Joe Mad, you haven't changed.

@inktivate I just have to say, I totally respect your avatar. I would love a supergiant games collection on the Switch.

Planning to pass on this. There are plenty of cheaper platformers on the Switch that more than hold their own.

It would actually be an improvement to have nothing. Makes you wonder how many full-time employees manage this rewards program.

I've definitely played this one to death already. I would likely continue to do so on Switch too.

I'm totally enjoying my Switch, but I gotta be honest...Feels like ages since we got real news from Nintendo. And I don't really count the cardboard announcement, at least for me personally. E3 is so far away.

My favorites of the year:

1. Zelda: Breath of the Wild
2. NBA 2K18
3. Doom
4. Super Mario Odyssey
5. Golf Story

Zelda DLC and Mario DLC

I don't know why, but I don't expect this to be very good

Where's WarGroove?

I'd buy it again.

Sounds cool. Is there anywhere you can preview what these books actually look like on the inside? A preliminary Google search didn't yield very many results.

Kirby or nothing! Guess it's nothing... Actually going back and doing some BotW DLC. Haven't dabbled in much more than the main campaign for Mario Odyssey either, so there's that.

Sega is 3rd? That's surprising.

Yes, but will it increase the game's performance? 😀

Playing Batman: The Telltale Series Season 1, and I'm enjoying it more than I thought I would. I guess I shouldn't be that surprised. It's like a digital Choose Your Own Adventure novel, and I love Batman lore.

@cyrus_zuo Golf Story can't maintain your interest? To each their own, but you're the first person I've heard that from.

@NEStalgia Absolutely. Since the latest patch, I have breezed through many areas that previously gave me trouble. A very nice change, that will likely incentivize further replays from me. I'm also excited for Wolfenstein. The fact that ID has revitalized these two IPs is a beautiful thing. Now we just need a Commander Keen reboot.

Maybe the best subheader NL has come up with yet.

@Nico87 Yep, that's what I do with Doom. Still, something different more about Bayonetta. This sums it up nicely, though maybe it's more of an argument to go ahead and get it: https://www.google.com/amp/s/motherboard.vice.com/amp/en_us/article/mb5pvv/the-nintendo-switch-is-great-for-playing-games-youre-ashamed-of

Love that these Panic Button guys have showed up. Doom and Rocket League are a huge part of the third-party support. At least they are to me.

I was close to picking up Bayonetta, but as someone with kids, I just haven't been able to get comfortable with the idea of openly playing it. So it's a pass for me.

@Nincompoop Actually most esport pros would disagree with you on the fattest car rationale, since the vast majority of them use the default model. That being said, most are probably not playing on the Switch either.

I’m totally picking this up for the tumbler though. Nolan’s bat flicks are my fav!

I was curious about this when it was first announced a while ago...and then we were given DOOM. Expectations have changed.

I've been playing a lot of Doom recently, so this works out great for me.

Fun game that I still have on my phone. Could be wrong, but I don't think having it on Switch will truly elevate the gameplay experience. Games like Arena of Valor definitely. This not so much.

Capcom, you're dead to me...at least until the Street Fighter collection comes out!

More talk.

If that means we'll get another Zelda on the same machine, that'd be pretty sweet.

Will get eventually. Looks more interesting to me than Celeste.

Thanks for writing this. I wholeheartedly agree! For me, MLB The Show is the one exclusive that actually hurts not having.

I haven't tried any of these Warrior games yet. Should I get this one or wait for Hyrule Warriors? I value gameplay and replayability over nostalgia and story.

Splatoon 2 and Doom have both convinced me I'm more about the single player experience. WiFi is pretty "meh" on the Switch, and it's not like it's very convenient when you're on the go anyway. If there's a solid campaign, I could see myself picking up a COD game.

Wake me up when it's a Dragon Quest RPG

Interested to see how a Baldur's Gate type game like this converts to the console. A quality WRPG is very much welcome. It's nothing like Diablo or Titan's Quest for people who are wondering.

Simply put - I didn't buy a Switch to play phone games. Particularly when I typically need to pay $10-$30 more for the same game. No thank you.

I'm encouraged by the rumor, but will likely wait on reviews before pulling the trigger.

Kirby for sure (even though I'm a little surprised it's a premium-priced game). Maybe Bayonetta.

Eh, it’s pretty fair for a F2P game. Unfortunately it’s just repetitive and kind of boring after a while.

@Nintendoforlife I guess I don't really care about FIFA

Suppose the sale did happen. What would prevent Microsoft from making a bunch of EA titles exclusive to the Xbox and PC? I mean, you can see what Sony has done with MLB The Show. Can you imagine if the same happened to Madden?

I haven't played the demo but I heard really good things. On the short list of RPGs to check out this year.

Nope. Maybe the Street Fighter collection or Smash when it's inevitably announced though.

@formulas666 I would disagree. The black lines on the top and bottom of the ipad feel pretty bad. Plus you can't plug it into your TV screen. Sure, the controls feel a bit challenging at first blush...but they make sense to me after conducting a few runs.

@masterLEON Few things feel better in gaming.

@Geeks4Life Felt the same way until I learned all the available systems inside and out. Is there RNG outside your control at times? Yes. But that's how it is in real life as well, and sometimes the best you can do is strategically prepare yourself within the existing restraints you're operating under. If you're able to accept that, you'll be able to appreciate what is offered here. If not, it's probably not for you.

Let's keep those developer faces smiling as you forge your way through BotW's follow-up. 😀

"Remind yourself that overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer."

Reviews and footage haven't been impressive. Maybe I'll check it out when there's a sale, but frankly the Switch's lineup has been so good that anything short of stellar is kind of a disappointment.
