@Ralek85 Good points for sure. I have Doom and totally get what you're saying. Still grateful to have it on-the-go, despite its shortcomings. The somewhat unpredictable autosave is what makes it difficult to play in short bursts for me. That being said, it's hard to think of a better mobile FPS experience.
@Alcovitch oh, you don't need to convince me. I already own the game on three different platforms including the switch. However, I'd like to see NL get on the train and give it more exposure to first timers. Heck, most other Switch releases are ports anyway.
Honestly I've been conditioned to expect nothing from this company. I mean it's great that we're getting Megaman and Street Fighter collections, but I've learned to expect nothing. Probably not the ideal state you want to have with your customers, but there you go.
Mario Tennis, Donkey Kong, and Kirby are all pretty much guaranteed purchases. Maybe Hyrule Warriors but I was already considering Fire Emblem Warriors, so I'll need to think about that.
@gatorboi352 Mario Kart Deluxe, Skyrim, and Rocket League are making pretty compelling arguments that yes, portability DOES make a big difference and will incentivize people to double and even triple-dip.
@PuppyToucher it might feel okay. But since I would likely play 80% of it in handheld, I set my sights a little higher for a $60 game. The fact that it dips below 480p is a deal-breaker for me.
Dabbled with DS1 and it just didn't click for me. Felt old and janky at the time. DS3 hadn't been released yet. Will keep an eye out but I prefer Darkest Dungeon when it comes to punishing experiences.
Nice to see it has solid reviews. I've been holding out for a Xenoblade Chronicles 2 patch for its handheld resolution issues. Since that doesn't seem to be coming though, I may just pick this up instead.
@thesilverbrick Pretty convenient for Nintendo that they can just vulture the Wii U hits, during slow periods for the Switch. Since I didn't own a Wii U, many of these still few like new games...but I totally understand how previous console owners could be feeling shafted.
@Rika_Yoshitake If you think porting Doom is the same as porting Rocket League, you need to read more and game less. Sorry if that comes off harsh, but it's true.
@readyletsgo "'roguelike', ugh, am I the only one who doesn't like roguelike games? Seems like every second release now-a-days is roguelike. No thanks."

Re: Dead Cells Is Coming to the Switch Later This Year
Isn't everything "the perfect fit" on the Switch? Man, what a great console.
Re: Hello Kitty Kruisers is Racing Onto Switch Both Digitally and Physically
Negative reactions aside, it's obviously for the children you may or may not have
Re: Darkest Dungeon Goes Physical With The Ancestral Edition On Switch
Cool cover art. I am content with my digital copy though. It's a perfect on-the-go game imo. Jump in, do a dungeon run, jump out.
Re: Freedom Planet On The Wii U Just Got A Sizable Update
That subheader...too soon.
Re: Feature: The Most Exciting Indie Games Coming to Nintendo Switch In 2018
My two most anticipated indies weren't listed here, but they are Battle Chasers and WarGroove!

Re: Nintendo Applies For New Animal Crossing Trademark in Japan, Switch Game On The Way?
Pretty unfamiliar with this franchise. What will Animal Crossing give me that Stardew Valley doesn't?
Re: My Time at Portia Bringing Dungeon Exploring Fun To Switch Later This Year
Speaking of Dungeons... Darkest Dungeon review incoming?

Re: R.B.I. Baseball 18 Will Aim For The Bleachers On Switch This March
All the RBI Baseball games have been hot garbage up to this point.
Re: Darkest Dungeon
@Zimon Was a day one purchase for me. Very happy with how it turned out. Also played a bunch on Steam.
Re: Feature: The Biggest Nintendo Switch Retail Games of 2018
Top 3 seem easy to me:
1. Metroid Prime 4
2. Project Octopath Traveller
3. Bayonetta 3
Re: Video: Watch Link Beat Up Some Crowds In A New Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition Trailer
Will it be 60 fps at 1080p?
Re: Enter The Gungeon Just Received A New Update
Did it fix the bug where I'm so terrible at this game? Fun though...
Re: Nintendo Download: 18th January (North America)
There will be no waiting for me...will gladly triple-dip on Darkest Dungeon this weekend!
Re: Wield The Power Of Gods (And Some Huge Guns) As Immortal Redneck Heads To Switch
I'll check back once I've beaten Enter the Gungeon.
Re: Soapbox: Is Super Mario Odyssey the Best Mario Game Ever?
Super Mario Bros 1 is still my favorite.
Re: Rumour: LEGO DC Super Villains And LEGO Incredibles 2 Could Be On Their Way
@tourjeff Yes please
Re: SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy Will Not Censor Risqué Costumes For Western Switch Release
@Gamer83 Same. Zero interest in playing this, but watch SJW Polygon vilify anyone in the West who does.
Re: Sumo Digital Teases More Reptile Antics As Snake Pass Emerges From Hibernation
Very mixed reviews from the users I've interacted with. Enough to keep me away from the game, but not its comments section. 😁
Re: Sorry Netflix Fans, You Won't Be Watching Stranger Things On Your Switch Anytime Soon
I wouldn't throw everything out based on this message
Re: Feature: Here's What Was Announced During The January 2018 Nintendo Direct Mini
Mario Tennis, Donkey Kong, and Kirby are all pretty much guaranteed purchases. Maybe Hyrule Warriors but I was already considering Fire Emblem Warriors, so I'll need to think about that.

Re: Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana Brings An Epic Quest To Switch This Summer
@PuppyToucher That's very good to hear. Hmm, I may have to reconsider. Thanks!

Re: Praise The Sun! Dark Souls: Remastered Is Coming To Switch This May

Re: Kirby Star Allies Releases This March on Switch and Introduces New Copy Abilities
Can't wait to play this with my kids
Re: Mario Tennis Aces Brings A GBA-Style Story Mode To Switch
Will wait for reviews, but definitely have my eye on this. If it can match the charm and fun of something like Golf Story...I'm all over it.

Re: Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze And Hyrule Warriors Are Coming To Switch
Hmm. Hyrule Warriors or Fire Emblem Warriors?
Re: Nintendo Direct Mini Is Happening Right Now
Overall satisfied. Expected a lot of ports, and pretty much got that. They'll save the big stuff for E3.
I do think Darkest Dungeon deserved a call out even though it's just days away.
Re: Nintendo of Russia Appears to Confirm Incoming Nintendo Direct
I expect a laid back direct with an emphasis on indies, Wii ports, and Yoshi and Kirby.
They're going to save Metroid progress and Smash announcements for E3.
Re: Slayaway Camp: Butcher's Cut Is A Killer Puzzler Slashing Its Way Onto Switch
It's fun on my phone, if somewhat repetitive.
Re: Zelda: Breath of the Wild Rises Up The UK Charts
This article...snore....c'mon Nintendo, where is that Direct?
Re: NBA Playgrounds Ups Its Game With New Enhanced Edition Update
I attempted to give this game a chance before NBA 2K came out, but yeah... I don't think I'm coming back.
Re: Gaming Addiction Is Officially A Disorder, According To The World Health Organisation
I find it interesting the WHO takes this stance on gaming while still taking zero stance on the effects of something like porn.
At the end of the day, an unhealthy fixation on anything can have negative side effects.
Re: PlatinumGames Is Looking To Create A Brand New IP
Dat ____ though
Re: Feature: Memorable Games of 2017 - DOOM
Enjoyed this more than Mario Odyssey. Probably my #3 Switch game behind Breath of the Wild (#1) and NBA 2K18 (#2 - I like GM mode a lot, ok?)
Re: Review: SteamWorld Heist: Ultimate Edition (Switch eShop)
I have it on the iPad. Still unfinished. For some reason it hasn't grabbed me the same way as similar games in the same genre.
Re: The Nintendo Network and eShop Are Back to Life After a Festive Mishap
To anyone who recently joined the Switch family - Welcome!
Re: Square Enix Has Finished the Score for Project Octopath Traveler
Hoping this game is amazing. Sure seems to be pressing all the right buttons right now.
Re: Panic Not, Panic Button Is Handling The Switch Port Of Wolfenstein II
@Rika_Yoshitake If you think porting Doom is the same as porting Rocket League, you need to read more and game less. Sorry if that comes off harsh, but it's true.
Re: Pac-Man Championship Edition 2 Plus Is Heading To Switch, Includes Exclusive Co-Op Mode
Why not just buy the Namco Museum? This feels like releasing SF2 ultimate edition after already having the 30th anniversary version out for a while.
Re: Review: Enter The Gungeon (Switch eShop)
@readyletsgo "'roguelike', ugh, am I the only one who doesn't like roguelike games? Seems like every second release now-a-days is roguelike. No thanks."
Git gud
Re: Tactical RPG Regalia: Of Man And Monarchs Is Plotting Its Way To A Switch Release
@JJ286 it's like the delays on the original comic book from the 90's all over again. Ha ha, guess I shouldn't be surprised.
Re: Rumour: Burnout Paradise Gets Rated For Switch Release In Brazil
Instabuy if it actually means it's coming to the Switch
Re: Tactical RPG Regalia: Of Man And Monarchs Is Plotting Its Way To A Switch Release
Maybe. Battle Chasers takes priority since it's due out around the same time.
Re: Nintendo Download: 14th December (North America)
Playing NBA 2K18 MyGM, Doom, and Stardew Valley. Need to knock some of this out before thinking too hard about what's next.
