@Bomberman64 is that a Nintendo published game? If not, it wouldn’t be on this list.

I don’t think so, but I do expect Splatoon 3 will be one of the titles that gets dlc added to NSO EP.

@fafonio It’s described well by Peer on IGN’s NVC podcast this week. You can also check out his Twitter where he breaks down what makes this special.

The last Friday in July.

It’s hard to see how this IP is worth half of what Disney paid for Marvel or Lucasfilm.

@SuperZeldaFun

Give me a break. We’ll know if it releases this year based on whatever they announce over the summer.

Inspired is putting it lightly. Death's Door is inspired by Zelda while still putting forth a unique world and style. Many elements here look like they're directly lifted from Zelda, while dropping the parts that made it stand out.

@Teksetter I don’t feel impatient about receiving it—I’ve actually been fine playing in handheld on my OLED, despite growing accustomed to it on my original Switch. Everyone is experiencing production and shipping issues, and I understand that. Just communicate it to your customer. Supposedly they’ve started shipping, but the tracking information doesn’t provide any actual data right now.

preordered it back on 10/10, back when they were thinking it would ship by November. Obviously, they either lied to themselves or us. It’s poor on their part, and always better to underpromise and overdeliver.

Played it for a time on Game Pass. While it didn’t cost me any money, I’ll never get that time back. At this point in my life, it wasn’t worth the price.

@SirKif wow, what a hot take.

@BigE Which first party publisher has produced more titles this year? Sony put out Ratchet and Returnal, ported God of War and Horizon (maybe that was last year) to PC. What else?

MS has Forza and Halo. They’ve had a bunch of games come day one to Game Pass, but I can’t think of much else they’ve put out for the year.

@YusseiWarrior3000 True, but the DS has GBA BC. The 3DS does not.

@Bunkerneath more and more, not less and less.

@The_Pixel_King

I wasn’t asking you to, your majesty.

@The_Pixel_King

It’s fine if you enjoy bad games ;-D

Tunic is a console launch exclusive, so the fact that it’s not out is kind of important to it releasing elsewhere.

@The_Pixel_King 12 minutes is a bad game and Tunic isn’t even out yet.

@HotGoomba But that’s what R* is calling it…

@Aurumonado no, you aren’t. That’s a 32GB cart and—while it has the whole game on it— they definitely patched it a couple of times post release.

@kingbk KH wasn’t ported, it’s streaming. They specifically had this made for the Switch, just like other AAA devs have done in the past with games like DOOM and The Witcher 3.

@Moroboshi876

No. Those games are discontinued worldwide, not just in NA.

@Tharsman

I guess it depends what you’re looking at.

Star Wars stuff, with the exception of exclusives like the Razor Crest, seem to get marked down across the board. Kyle Ren’s shuttle is $104 on Amazon. Poe’s X-Wing was down to $75. The Millennium Falcon was $128. AT AT, $141. I’ve even seen the UCS Falcon for $50-100 off MSRP on Zavvi.

@Tharsman I see sets going 20% off (USA) all the time. Haven’t been following the Mario ones, but Star Wars and Marvel stuff out for 4-6 months will get knocked down at brick and mortar retailers/Amazon.

@Moroboshi876 “Bowser” era policies? Gimme a break. Anything gaming being discontinued is coming from Japan. NOA doesn’t make those kind of decisions.

I played it to completion on Game Pass. This game isn’t nearly as good as Pikmin. It’s charming and has great music, the art is fantastic, but the gameplay isn’t as varied or well executed as Pikmin, and controls can be a little finicky.

Cmon Spelunky.

@g_ruz The actual size is only a few mm larger than the current Switch according to NVC. Hardly an issue.

@liveswired

So much for that prediction.

Had the same issue after purchasing a few games yesterday and putting the console into sleep mode, which borked all three downloads and produced this error.

I restarted (didn't work), shut down (didn't work), cleared the cache (didn't work), shut down again (didn't work), changed the DNS (didn't work), shut down again (didn't work), and instead of trying the "+" to download again, just clicked on the game to start the download, and for whatever reason, that worked on all three games.

Really big PITA, but it's the first real problem I've had outside of a game randomly crashing.

@MSpudley I actually agree—it is likely a revised switch is coming. Just like the last revision, which got better battery life due to less power consumption from the CPU/GPU.

It looks like DS gameplay with a Diablo (isometric) camera.

Something looks off. Flat. Stiff. Maybe it feels different when you’re the one in control.

Animation looks stilted and lifeless. The Art is objectively bad. Hard to see why this should get an article in any way.

@Anti-Matter

Sales indicate you’re in the minority.

There are way too many “cinematic experiences” already.

@PBandSmelly

The 3DS is no longer in production.

@haniwa

Do we? Why? Because if others haven’t played said games, they’re new to them.

SW FO is padded, too. The backtracking in that game sucks, and the map is tedious. They could have fixed a number of these issues with QoL improvements, but never did.

I don’t get the hate. Outside of a Wind Waker HD announcement, I was happy with what they showcased.

BOTW 2 and MP4 will be part of their e3 presentation if they have one. Their fall lineup remains a mystery.

I expect there may be a Monster Hunter centric one in a couple weeks, and probably one for Pokémon Snap 2 before that comes out.

@jamesthemagi

Last I checked, no, you can’t.

You can on the primary console. Not on the secondary. To play them on any other console, you have to be logged in as the person who purchased the games.

I already stated in a follow up that I didn’t mean simultaneously.

@Tandy255

Yeah, I didn’t state that, but I agree, it doesn’t have to be at the same time. But having it set up like a library where someone checks out the game while they are playing it would be easy enough.

They need to rigorously update their digital game sharing. I should, at a minimum, be able to easily share digital content with anyone in my household on any Switch using any profile. Tie it to the Switch Online account if necessary.

@SuperWeird

This isn’t true at all. First party games on Xbox Series are going to support the One, S and X for a limited time. Third party games can support whichever consoles they choose, IE only the newer consoles.

Does that make business sense given the current install base? Probably not. That’s probably why nearly any non-exclusive is coming to every console out there for the time being.

The world looks a bit plain when compared to everything else. It’s like the aesthetic doesn’t match, a bit too real looking and flat, while the characters are a bit more cartoonish.

I’ll have to wait and see how it reviews. Even then, the backlog would only grow...

@Emob

The logic here is wrongheaded. The Switch can’t currently power those games in handheld mode at higher resolutions, but a revised model could. I don’t see them doing a 4K anything, unless it’s some sort of checkerboard upscaling, and only in docked mode, because they’ve always chosen to underpower their consoles post GC era.

That being said, I’m ready for a new model if they release it and it seems like enough of a reason to upgrade. If they undercook it the way Sony did the PS4 Pro, then probably not. Unless there’s a sweet Zelda edition...

Super Enter the Gungeon.

@somebread game is already out on other platforms, so probably not.

@Dman10
It’s almost like three different companies are pricing their games differently. The nerve!

@nessisonett

It’s called ‘copyright’, not ‘copywrong’.

@Friendly

Sure, compare a stand-alone device that runs the game to a copy of a game that requires a separate system to run. Sounds like apples to apples to me...

@jump
Minus the glider, which incentivizes vertical exploration, the open-world climbing mechanics used in BOTW are definitely present in AC Origins, which came out like five months earlier.
