Already pre-ordered DragonBall Fighterz fighterz edition ($95) the day it went live. It's sitting on my Switch desktop along with the SNES game ready to play on launch day.

I swore this gen I would not buy any extra unnecessary controllers for my Switch. I have my Pro Controller and custom d-pad Joycons and can play 1-2 players easily, that's it that's all I need for this entire gen,

For Wii U I ended up with 50 million controllers; a whole box full of them. It was cool to be able to play games in so many days different ways, but it was just way too much stuff for one console. When I sold my Wii U I was thankful to get rid of all that crap.

I'm not doing that again. The Pro Controller is good enough for everything, even Smash.

Whether or not I buy this game depends entirely on whether or not it features stereoscopic 3D. If it does I'm in.

These polls have become completely useless lately. It used to be: what are we playing? with a list recent releases to chose from.

Now it's: are you playing the same random games from any era as the NL staff writers?

Who gives a flip what the staff writers are playing and why should it matter if we're playing the same? What is the point of this data? Might as well throw Pong in there too... maybe one of us is playing it.

Pointless.

@whanvee The online component is one of the best parts of the game and it works great. 1-4 players, drop in out whenever you want, or create private lobbies; progress is saved for all players. It's a seamless experience geared toward smooth online play.

I think it's easier to play with 2 players rather than 3 or 4, because it gets really crazy with 4, but it works regardless and is a blast to play online.

@Dahn_
I'm about almost half way through the campaign and have played with 2-4 players the whole time, and I haven't noticed any performance issues so far. The framerate does take a hit sometimes but nothing that has interfered with gameplay. In fact I've been impressed by how well it performs, given the level of action on screen.

This game is awesome. Been playing the crap out of it since it was released. If you like run n' gun shooters like Contra or Metal Slug then you gotta check out Broforce.

The destroyable environment and platforms make for a great gameplay twist too. It's got a Dig Dug aspect to it, as you constantly fall through structures, avoid falling obstacles, explosions and gunfire, and forge new pathways to victory, all while blowing the living hell out of everything in site. The drop-in-out online multiplayer works great. It's fantastic action and lots of fun.

I disagree with the reviewer saying this game is only good in short bursts. I've been putting in 2-4 hour sessions at a time and it's glorious.

Broforce is dope, bros!

It was really good. Luigi's Mansion 3 was a great way to start. Looking forward to many of these titles.

Was hoping they would drop a surprise bomb though, like Read Dead Redemption Switch port or GTA V or something massive and 3rd party. But whatever it was still excellent.

Bring on Super Mario 3D World. That's what I'm waiting for.

This game is gonna be dope. Definitely looking forward to this.

Needs online multiplayer.

This is 2018. Switch Online. Get it together already.

I'm still buying it, but my 2 family members who I play online with will definitely pass without online gameplay. Every time Nintendo releases a multiplayer game without online they loses 2 sales from my family. Every time.

Just when I think I'm done buying 3DS games... definitely buying this.

I deleted this game. No swing mode online killed it for me. Such a stupid omission.

I'm all over this

The demo for this game was badass; I can't wait to buy it.

SNK Heroines and Broforce.

Two awesome games that were released this week, yet were not included in the poll. Instead you include games that came out last year.

Far Cry. Bring it.

@adam9431 Samurai Shodown for sure. The first 2 games in that series are the best.

I'm totally looking forward to this game, but I agree with others that it needs an option to switch to retro-style pixel art. Sonic Mania got it right.

If they bring back the Elvira Scared Stiff table I'm in:

Unless they have unlimited access to the majority of Marvel, DC, IDW, Darkhorse and Image comics for a flat low monthly rate, then no... this is not the Netflix of anything.

Far Cry or GTFO

I'm all over Dragon Ball FighterZ. Also got SNK Heroines pre-ordered, but not sure how good it will be.

@EightBitMan The Vita hardware was NOT solid. Those stupid touch screen buttons on the back. And no L3 and R3 buttons. Please..

I owned 2 Vitas over the years, both the original OLED and the newer version... they both sucked.

If Sony made another portable I wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole. After the way they 100% dropped support for the Vita half way through its life, and relied on 3rd parties to support their system every since, I would not trust them at all with a new handheld. Unlike Nintendo, who supports their products until the dying end, Sony will completely abandon their own products the moment they fail to meet profit predictions, regardless of how it affects their customers. Screw that. Sony would have to show me years and years of dedicated AAA support for a handheld before I would even acknowledge another portable system from them.

@JaxonH Yeah thanks for the feedback. I actually pre-ordered Generations Ultimate, it's been siting on my Switch desktop for over a month. I started playing it already, just finished my first hunt this week. It's definitely a step backwards for me compared to World, but I'm gonna give it a fair shot and put as much time as I can into it. I am pretty stoked to have an HD portable version of MH.

I've put in 500 hours so far into World, and counting. It's the best game I've ever played.

I've tried several previous MH games, but World is the first one that really clicked with me. Even so, it took me 250 hours into the game before I truly grasped how to play it and all it's many features. I wouldn't call that hand-holding, even if it is easier to understand than past entries. It's definitely a commitment, but the payoff is so satisfying, there's nothing else like it.

I honestly believe it's worth buying a One X (or whatever console you prefer) just to play World. It's that good.

It’s gonna be hard to get into this game after World. Especially considering I’m a master bowsman in World, while the bow and arrow controls in Generations are a massive pre-historic step backwards. I pre-ordered the game anyways; looking forward to Monster Hunter on Switch; I just don’t expect it to be anywhere near as amazing as World.

Hell yeah!!!!!! So excited about this. Hopefully they give us a pixel-graphics mode with old skool graphics a la Sonic Mania.

This game makes me want some of the other Sega CD "classics" ported over to Switch with HD treatment.

Ground Zero Texas, Sewer Shark, Tomcat Alley, Prize Fighter, and Road Avenger would all be dope.

This is as good as it gets for Night Trap. A true deluxe edition. If you were ever a fan of this super cheesy Sega CD game, it's definitely worth picking up for the Switch. It's worth it just for the documentaries, they're great. I'm actually going to try to beat this game for the first time ever. It's so bad it's good.

Stuff from last week and next week on this list... yet you missed games from THIS week, like All-Star Fruit Racing.

Damnit they don't already have someone working on this? What kind of a multi-billion dollar company is this? I was really hoping they'd roll out a new UI with paid online. At this rate it's gonna be 10 years before we get FOLDERS!!! I swear I'm going to throw my Switch in the trash if we don't get folders soon. Not really... but come one!

That looks dope. I'm buying it for sure. Adding it to my Neo Geo Switch library.

Already pre-ordered from the eshop.

Been looking forward to this one. Already preordered it from the eshop. The icon is sitting on my Switch ready to play.

This one is even smaller, cheaper and works great for portability: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074RGQ261/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

This is a surprisingly good shmup. The mix of shooter-action and dinosaurs is awesome. Never played this one before now, but I love it.

Deserves a much higher score IMO.

Super Metroid is #1 and it's not even close.

Dragonball FighterZ kicks ass, literally. Everyone should check it out. That is one awesome fighting game.

I buying this for sure. Not on my X, but for the Switch, just like I did with the first game.

I was finally able to get online and into the practice mode, and all I gotta say is that this game is totally badass and I'm buying it for sure.

What's the point if these articles if they're not accurate? We're better off just going to the eshop. Maybe you guys should stop relying solely on the official press release and actually look at the eshop listings before publishing these articles. Every week you list stuff that's not out until next week, or already came out the week before. Useless.

Bummer that PAC-MAZE (from 3DS) was cut. That was one of my favorite stages and was hoping it would be included.

There's so many of these smaller arcade cabinets being released all of a sudden - I absolutely love it! Tiny Arcade, MyArcade, New Wave Toys, Arcade1Up, NeoGeo, and now Numskull are all making various mini arcade machines. I'm particularly excited about Arcade1Up's forthcoming 3/4 scales cabinets, those look so dope.

It's only a matter of time before the Switch gets a true arcade cabinet that you can slide the screen into, with actual joysticks and Bluetooth connectivity - al la iPad with iCade. I'll be all over that when it releases.

Looks like something you would take at a rave.

@Djgoa it's not offensive, it's just dumb. A cheap marketing ploy to draw in pre-pubescent teens. The game would be better off without it - more serious. Has nothing to due with being a prude.

As a Neo Geo and fighting game fan I'm definitely looking forward to this. I like the gender bender Terry! Although I could do without the busting boobs and sexualization of the characters. Don't see how this aethesthic appeals to anyone other than immature teenage boys.

You guys forgot to mention Neo Geo's "Prehistoric Isle 2".

It's out today.

Thank you for reporting this. The gaming community needs to put pressure on Nintendo to change their policies and not support slave labor. This is a good start.
