That's good timing, I just grabbed this game today as well, too busy in Hyrule to check it out though.

Is it any good, like really? I unironically want a good horse game.

Donkey Kong Sea Monkeys modified so they only eat powdered bananas, what are you waiting for Nintendo?!

The fact that I own most of these shows that I need to rethink my life choices. Really helpful list for those who aren't patient enough to trawl through the Eshop though. I'm just missing Dead Cells as a no-brainer purchase I should have bought ages ago.

By the way for those who want Catherine full body that live in the UK and don't mind digital, CD keys has a sweet deal on it, I snagged that recently: https://www.cdkeys.com/catherine-full-body-switch-eu

I just didn't 'get' the precious game I don't think, so I won't be pickling this up. For context I didn't like Undertale either. Don't mean to be a party pooper but Everhood has to be the quickest uninstall I've ever done.

The story in the game is a little too much for me at this current stage in my life. Hopefully I'll be able to play and enjoy it in the future.

Will add this one to my already bulging rouge-lite pile.

There's niche and then there's this xD
Not my thing, but looks cool though!

Ahh I wish these could all could have been in their own direct, upcoming releases in different showcases everywhere, it's messy >.<

I'll probably give this a whirl, I have no idea what this games deal is but it did pique my interest, demo was a good call me thinks.

These kind of games are right up my street, I'll have a good look through these when I have more time :3

@Anachronism
That's so true!
These are outdated every couple years.

I didn't know you could throw lightroots. I wasted SO MANY ARROWS...

@RobynAlecksys
Well someone needs a Snickers xD
Nah just kidding, It can be a bit much at times.

I'm trying to tackle the backlog. Just beat Cult of the lamb (which was a 10/10 game for me) and now I have more hunger for some sweet combat, so I think I'll boot up Hades and see if it lives up to all the hype.

Edit: Oh yeah it's worth the hype alright!

I hope it's true and that they keep that box art, I love it so much!

@HistoricKombat
How do you know I didn't rob a bank to fund my Eshop habit eh?

Nah you are quite right in correcting me there, I think its because I'm BrEET-ish we often shorten it to just bank when talking about our finances, or at least that's the normal dialect where I live xD

@Tott
I see this comment every day. It's worth the money.

@cra1g0s
I'm the one person who will say this game is overrated. It's cute sure, and not a bad way to spend an afternoon, but it doesn't live up to the hype imo. I much preferred Li'l gator game.

So many people have different favourites, it's lovely <3
Mine are AWL, ANB and the first 'Story of Seasons' on DS.

My bank hurts already >.< oof
At least this month is light on new releases to make up for it!

eee I'm so happy! I only played 3 when it came to Switch but I absolutely loved it! I also love me some high budget tactics games as well, these should be good!

Will pick this up now, I was waiting for it to pop on the Eshop, nice snappy review!

Interested in Bleak Sword DX and picked up the new Hatsune Miku shameless shovelware that isn't on this list that I buy (and enjoy) every goddamn time xD

Other than that the summer sale just dropped over here so I'm scouring the Eshop deciding which ones to pick up, as well as removing some from the list that no longer interest me.

Really good showing. Not gonna lie that was a lot to take in so I watched it quickfire in Switch corner's video:

I really wish it was in an indie showcase, having game releases dumped like this is a bit overwhelming.

There is a lot here that is wishlist worthy for me (probably because my tastes are so broad) and I've already pre-ordered nova lands. I didn't think dark deity would get another game, but it's the same old story in that I still haven't played the first.

@Thomystic
I'm not gonna lie, I see why you would say that but I'm all for devs taking inspiration from other games and putting their own spin on it, even though some of these were a bit on the nose.

I'm especially positive about it with games like a tiny sticker tale where it's very unlikely we are going to get anything similar from Nintendo again as Sticker star failed in it's execution quite badly, but it was a novel idea. Will be good to see what someone else can do with it.

@Debbiee
You might be right about that. However, I don't know if it's because my skill has improved over the years (I just played cozy games when BOTW came out) or the game is just easier with the fusing items, but I can dispatch them much more quickly this time around. and take on bosses that scared me before. The puzzles are easier too.

Will they ever stop updating this? fairplay to them.
I'm with the above comment, got it haven't even opened it yet >.<

I prefer TOTK... but he's not wrong, when you actually think about it, it is a little unnatural and crowded other than the caves that just feel right.

Will play it very soon. I actually played smaller low budget/mediocre games whilst waiting for this to drop but it took so long that I played Cult of the Lamb instead and that game is just too good to bench.

Honestly, Awakening is one of my Zelda favorite games. I was so disappointed by the remake, but I can't really put my finger on why I didn't like it that much. I reckon it's because I'm a sucker for the GB aesthetic.

Happy that we get the OG Harvest Moon
Awful time to release it though, with the remake coming soon >.<

@BTB20
And you are exactly the kind of person the game is made for and keeps it alive! Not people like me who can't commit.

@roy130390 Good for you! as cliche as it is, as long as you're having a good time, that's all that matters! I'm too much of a salty squid to enjoy getting rekt all the time, but I prefer games I can actually beat anyway so is all good

@roy130390
I have to agree.
My original comment was meant in jest and playful. If people put the time in and are amazing at the game, more power to them, they deserve to wipe the floor with the competition, but it kinda gatekeeps the people who want to just have fun with it (I feel bad for kids lol) but I guess you could say the same for any competitive online game.

Like you said there are just too many good games to justify sinking all your time into it, just to keep up with the competition. I used to be ok at Splatoon 2, cause it was fresh (no pun intended) and I put hundreds of hours into it but now playing 3 when I can't give it the same amount of attention it just feels punishing to pop on here and there when even the turf war players are out for blood. It must feel similar when you hop on smash just for a bit of fun and get roflstomped. It's evolved without me and that's fine, I had my fill, lifes too short to play one game.

@nhSnork
I'm with you, I barely play Nintendo games on my Nintendo system xD

Trying to guess what Nintendo will do is like trying to understand women, everything points to the fact we aren't getting one but you never know. I could go for another ̶f̶a̶r̶m̶i̶n̶g̶ direct, but I'm perfectly happy if not, my backlog never lets up.

@BTB20
Imma leave this thread, my kind clearly aren't welcome here

@Maxz
Or they could sort the matchmaking somehow so myself and the rest of us filthy casuals can still have a good time and the pro players can still tear each other to shreds xD

How good people are at this game just flat out makes me sad. I swear everyone is much more vicious in sploon3 as well, since they've all just sweated it and played nothing else for 3 instalments xD

Those hands are absolute nightmare fuel, I haven't been that scared in horror games.

@BenAV
Yep, there's nothing here to tax it. I agree, I will die on the hill that It's more that devs just don't understand the system rather than the lack of power. 6 years in and it's getting more and more grating. They just shove it on there for a quick buck, not really understanding that it works differently than other consoles.

@BenAV
Works flawlessly everywhere though else it seems, it's a Switch problem again.

@JohnnyMind
I'll give you a boop when I see it update.
I've been manually checking for updates daily with baited breath I'm dying to play it more.

I feel like the review copy you guys got of Cassette Beasts and the one I have are worlds apart. Please note that my tolerance with performance on Switch is incredibly high. The game started ok (and that's me being kind) there is a nauseating amount of stutter/lag or whatever you would call it, but it progressively got worse, with visual glitches becoming more frequent, the slowdown would affect the music as well which is such a shame because the soundtrack is fantastic. But my true problem was the amount of crashes I had that seemed to get worse the more hours I played. It does have autosave but without spoiling there are certain fights that I consistently lose progress on because after I've beaten them it will get stuck at the exp screen and the screen will go black, making me unable to save or fast travel, and 9 times out of 10 when I fast travel it will crash. It's been benched for that reason despite me wanting to carry on, but with reviewers giving it very positive scores and marking it down for some minor hiccups is not going to make the devs fix their game.

Please don't buy this game yet, it deserves so much better than the state it is in right now, the game itself is my favourite Pokemon-like yet. It's ridiculously fun, the type system is fantastic, the monster designs are great and the exploration is rewarding and as I mentioned already the soundtrack is banging, the only soundtrack in a game I've liked more so far is from the Persona series. It would have been one of my favourite games without these issues.

For clarity my version is 1.3.0

@Dragonslacker1
Well played my friend, well played.

@Dragonslacker1
As a lady I can confirm that it's the best financial decision you could make, we take your money, your free time, and in my case, your beer and chocolate as well xD Though any girl that doesn't permit you chilling in your underwear is a disgrace to womankind But having said that, behind every nagging woman there is procrastinating man xD

This is just the sort of wholesomeness I needed today, it was so lovely <3
Now if only you could do chores by pressing A in real life, there would be much less arguments xD

Oh and don't worry we've all drunk ordered a pig, she clearly forgave you

To answer the question, I think having common ground in liking pokemon helped in me and my partner's early relationship. but I remember when I was re-playing A wonderful life on the Gamecube and that was the first time he saw me truly absorbed into a game, or as he put it, 'it shut me up' ever since he knew games could do that to me he has supported my game addiction xD We parallel play, he plays PC, MMO's usually and I play Switch and it's honestly the secret to a happy 11 year relationship, to be playing in the same room, but not with eachother, often asking eachother how we are getting on, And then in the evening he comes off and plays Switch with me and I torture him with whatever I'm stuck on at the time, or rope him into co-op, it's bliss.

It's really nice to read that pretty much everyone plays Tears of the Kingdom differently, irrespective of how much free time they have as well. I know that could be said for a lot of games, but it's really nice. Some people savor every last morsel and take their time exploring and not 'progressing' in the traditional sense, while others have been working hard to do story/shrines to get themselves buffed up to fully explore later on. It's really wonderful to see the same game being played so many different ways.

Waiting for the Disney Dreamlight Valley update and a patch for Cassette Beasts, so I'll be playing Monster Viator as a gap filler.

It's the same old argument in every post about this, Valve just didn't want the drama even if they are misguided and Nintendo don't come after emulators I can understand why they are cautious.

I can see both sides, Nintendo have a right to do this and it's going to be high on their radar since even new releases like TOTK are emulated on release. However there is no way to legally access their old games anymore in a way that they would still make them profit, only people selling them second hand, usually for large amounts of money. The ones they do give us are drip-fed and NSO could be removed and we lose access to them anytime they like. They butcher the creativity of their fans by taking down products like Pokemon Uranium, which is really sad but at the same time they don't want people accidentally thinking projects that use their IP's are official.

Emulators are legal but no-one is going to use them for anything other than pirating games, let's be real. And anyone can just download dolphin still, absolutely no need to put it on steam where people will 100% play Nintendo games on Steamdeck and weird flex about it.

Not interested in the slightest but this game isn't meant for us, it's meant for people with families to get them involved/introduced to playing games even if they normally don't, just like even Grandma could play Wii sports (if her hip didn't give out that is)

These are gorgeous <3 My second pair are still going good though, so I don't need new ones.

Waiting for reviews on Decarnation, other than that nothing for me, Etrian Odyssey is far too expensive.

Picked up Sunshine Shuffle and Kizuna AI when they were in Europe.
