@Saego Yep, that's what I've seen too from various sites and videos. They took the cheap route with the Remake. It was one of my absolute favourite SNES games, it's in the Top 5.

@Pineapple_Mohawk I said "might". And like the Wii U ports, Chrono Trigger is available for people to buy on DS, even now if they really want it. They weren't that bothered back then. Plus people can play it portably seeing as they care about that feature so much. It never originally came to Europe but I bought the Virtual Console version. It was a very good game, I might have thought about it more highly had I played it originally back in the day.

People can buy it on the Wii Shop for less than €10 and play it on their Wii U.

I would love to see a good Mario Tennis game so please don't make a balls of this one.

I might be in favour of a port of the DS version seeing as it was produced in limited quantities especially here in Europe. And a secondhand copy now costs as much as the game was back when it was new.

God forbid they could update the original, the same way Minecraft does.

That's not bad depending on the price.

The King of the Stalkers has made an appearance.

I wouldn't back anything on Kickstarter after Yooka-Laylee. Is this a first for Atooi using Kickstarter?

Knowing Capcom they'll put the original Street Fighter on a 25MB cartridge while the remaining games will all have to be downloaded.

What an amadán.

I'm sick of lying trolls.

It's pathetic, a stalker who doesn't comment on the story but instead follows me around the site throwing personal insults and attacks.

I'll buy this when it's dirt cheap. That's all Capcom deserve.

I'm interested, it could be a long wait until its released.

This is Garbage! You might as well talk to Taz. No, Taz makes more sense than this rat.

Who else read the headline as "Yoshi's Island" at first glance?

This game has me intrigued with its unique mixture of platformer and pinball.

In fairness to @Sculptor, the game has been available in the past on other platforms for $5 and it's been part of Humble Bundles.

@Marios-love-child Me too.

@MartyFlanMJFan

"Nintendo Switch is continuing to show strong sales across Europe, with news that the handheld wonder has now sold over a million units in France, making it the fastest-selling console in the region. According to French newspaper Le Figaro, the handheld machine just passed the milestone having shifted 911.000 units in 2017."

Who had a dig?

@Pineapple_Mohawk No and I didn't say anything negative yesterday about the story either.

https://www.nintendolife.com/forums/nintendo-switch/what_do_you_think_the_nx_is_poll?start=26420#reply-26425

I give credit where credit is due.

That is really good, very impressive. theskywaker, you've just given Nintendo a new idea.

Looks at the price. $20. Seriously!?

@Marios-love-child You tea leaf.

https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2018/01/nintendo_switch_is_seeing_record_sales_in_both_france_and_italy#comment4294875

That's impressive. France is by far Nintendo's best market in Europe. The Wii is the biggest selling console in France, 6.4 million. The previous record holder for sellng 1 million units the fastest was the PS4, it took over a year to do so. The XB1 took 3 years in France to reach that milestone.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/the-nintendo-switch-has-already-sold-1-million-units-in-france-fastest-selling-console-ever.25791/

And speaking of handhelds, the 3DS has sold over 5.27 million units there.

@SuperCharlie78 Considering it's €20 on Steam and another €10 for The Whistleblower DLC, the price is not too bad I guess. Though I imagine it's been available numerous times for far cheaper during sales.

And regarding Outlast II, expect to pay about €30 for that on Switch.

I'd wait for reviews. Yes, we knew it was coming at some point but a port dropping out of nowhere onto the eShop could be a bad sign.

But...but...but...digital is the future.

@SBandy Hey, you said you wouldn't be "monitoring this", you're supposed to be "playing some games and having fun you bloody saddo."

@Flowerlark No, I think you've misread what I've wrote, the price of the game on the eShop is:

£7.50
€10.50 (£7.50 in Euro is €8.50)
$13 (£7.50 in Dollars is $10.50)

I pointed out the differences. It's €2 and $2.50 more expensive than Sterling.

@SBandy I never said I "watched videos of this game being played". I've watched official trailers. You like name calling, do you? Calling me negative? You should take a look at yourself. I said positive things about the 2 previous reviews(Dragon Sinker and Toki Tori 2+) on this site. You claim that you'll be playing games, yet you've made time for another troll post and to throw around insults. Do you like jogging, "son"?

@Jordan_SW Sorry. Still can't understand it.

I'd watched videos and read previews about this game. The review confirms what I'd heard before. It's a very, very short game. I also noticed in the videos that while it has translated text in the game, not everything is, like Japanese writing on books will sail right over peoples heads. If you've seen trailers, you'll know what I mean. It's a very Japanese game. Also, there's some disparity between the £ price and the $ price. I'm going to look for the € price.

Edit: The price in Euro is €10.49, although if you pre-order it, the price is €8.39 until 1st March. The UK gets a much better price. £7.50 is €8.50 or $10.50. So Europe pays €2 more and the US pays $2.50 more.

I was listening to a podcast at the weekend and someone said it was awful, they called it Dragon Stinker.

Edit: But having looked at reviews myself elsewhere, it seems to have reviewed very positively. Maybe just that person didn't like it.

This game looks good.

@Grawlog Thanks for reminding me, I meant to post some figures about Japanese Switch software sales. And Japan is bigger in to digital sales than much of the West. A couple of examples:

Splatoon 2's digital sales are 178,101. Remember, Splatoon 2 recently passed 2 million physical sales in Japan alone, that's well under 10% of its sales digitally. Percentage wise, it's even less for the next few games listed.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild again on Switch has sold well over 870,000+ physical units, versus 64,738 digital.

Super Mario Odyssey, 111,394 digital versus 1,614,506 physical.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, 89,042 digital versus 1,346,387 physical.

And on and on it goes.

@JaxxDuffer You're talking pony. SMO development started in late 2013, a year after the Wii U released. Nintendo didn't have a clue about the Switch's specs(definitely not its final specs) over 3 years before its release.

@link3710 That's not right. It goes in 20% intervals. But let's entertain your version. I don't know if you seen NL's review last week for Superola and the Lost Burgers, that scored a 1/10. So on your scale, it gets 25% instead of its 10% and despite 10% being closer to 0% than 25%?

https://www.nintendolife.com/reviews/switch-eshop/superola_and_the_lost_burgers

That's wrong.

They made the right decision, though we're ignorant to how the alternative could have turned out.

Brilliant game, 10/10.

Toki Tori 2+ is OUT NOW on Switch Experience Toki Tori's Epic Puzzle

Adventure on the go, for the first time ever, as Toki Tori 2+: Nintendo Switch Edition is OUT NOW in the eShop. In this blog post, we explain why this is the best version of the game so far.

http://twotribes.com/message/toki-tori-2-switch-out-now/

Check out Two Tribes website above to see all the improvements that they made to the Switch version of the game. I may have to buy this AGAIN at some point. It's just that good.

And the reason the level editor isn't in the game is partly down to Nintendo, Two Tribes, technical issues and poor sales. They did try before on Wii U and explained why it didn't make it in. I'd suggest some of those issues still exist.

http://twotribes.com/message/wii-u-level-editor-on-ice/

@JaxxDuffer It's a fact, Google it yourself.

@FX102A If there's a maximum(100) then what's the minimum? 20%? No. It's 0%. A poor game shouldn't automatically get 20% regardless of its quality.

@iLikeUrAttitude But some games deserve a 0.

@APlus Account created 20 minutes before your post. Sure, I believe you!

It's a step up from the feature that was on the eShop. I agree with the review of 1,2 Switch. Crucially, is it possible to give a game a "0"? I expect not.

@roadrunner343 I've watched videos previously. It's not for me but there's plenty of other games that are.

@MFD It's not "a grounds-up Switch game".

Pixels
Rogue-like
Rhythm game

Not for me. But if you're into that sort of thing, it sounds great.

@Marios-love-child I agree with your points. And like the 2D games you had to hold down a button to run. I hated that.

@vitalemrecords I don't like SM3DW and I don't consider it a proper 3D Mario game.

They would say that. Not saying it's a lie, not saying it's the truth. But, yes, possibly it was never intended for the Wii U but it most probably was made on the Wii U. Look at it sure, it's a bumped up Wii U game. Super Mario Odyssey started development back at the end of 2013, Nintendo wouldn't have had a clue about the spec for the Switch then, nor the controller interface, but they knew Wii U was dying at that stage, barring some major miracle, so they kept their options open. Wii U owners suffered and were deprived so Switch owners could reap the benefits.

Unlike BOTW, Nintendo never publicly announced SMO for the Wii U, so they never had to break any promise. I think SMO could run on the Wii U, no problem. Just some minor adjustments, like with BOTW. But it was too late to bother with a port by the time it released.

@Donutman You never know what you'll do in 4 years time or way down the road. You don't have those options now. You've likely got some digital code saved on an SD card that could easily corrupt and when the servers go down, you'll have nothing.

Games companies want us to go digital and want us to think it's the future. It's better for them, it eliminates the secondhand market for starters. I want to own games physically every single time where possible. In a digital only world, it means too that they can keep a digital game at €60 for as long as they like and not have to worry about retailers selling new physical versions of the game for dirt cheap.

@Donutman Yes, but don't you see the irony? You sold your physical Wii U copy, now you've gone down a one-way digital street. You won't be selling this version or lending it to friends this time around. Not to mention Bayonetta on Wii U is physical also.
