NEO: The World Ends With You and a whole lot of Mr. Driller: DrillLand for me this weekend. The former has quickly become one of my top ten Switch games, and the latter, which I just recently picked up on sale, is so wholesome, yet insanely addictive. I love both of these games. They’re fantastic.

Why isn’t NEO: The World Ends With You in the poll? Either way, it’s hands down my GOTY so far.

@ViewtifulJohtun Hey buddy. Yes, I played the first one, the DS cartridge on a 3DS. I also have the Solo Remix on my phone, but never bothered with the Switch port. I absolutely loved it too, but trust me, if you go in with an open mind, NEO will blow you away. It’s dripping with atmosphere, it has one of the best soundtracks of any game I’ve ever played, and the combat, while initially simple, is immensely fun.

As a rule, I tend to wait for a sale on Square Enix games, but after finishing the demo a couple weeks back, I just had to have it. Like I said, I’m only ten or so hours in, but it’s shaping up to be one of my top ten Switch games. If you want to ask anything else, just holler.

EDIT: Oh and one other thing, I do about 90% of my Switch gaming in docked mode as I think the current systems LCD screen loses some colour, but I’m mainly playing NEO in handheld as the colours still pop. Can’t wait for that OLED Switch!

After amassing a 1500+ digital-only Switch collection, I preordered my first two physical games; Skyward Sword and NEO The World Ends With You.

To be honest, I got a little bored with SS after the first dungeon (as well as a tad fed up with the controls), so when it arrived on Tuesday, I jumped straight into TWEWY… and what a game it is! Ten hours in and I’m absolutely head over heels for it. Loving the combat, the music, the story and the visuals, and I can’t recommend it highly enough.

@BloodNinja Heavy wears the crown! 😝

Thanks man, it’s been a great day with my family, and I have Skyward Sword HD waiting for me when we return home from a night away.

PIXEL KING APPROVED! 😉

@Just_2_milky Thank you, buddy!

It’s my 48th birthday today, and my present from my wife was a printed receipt for a white Switch OLED pre-order. Bless her. 26 years of marriage and she’s still surprising me!

Skyward Sword HD for me! Never played it on Wii, so I can’t wait to try motion controls.

@Patendo Maybe I should cancel my Amazon pre-order (that hasn’t turned up) and just get it from Argos tomorrow? It’s my birthday tomorrow, too!

Pre-ordered this a week ago from Amazon (with Prime), but my account says it’ll be delivered on Wednesday… so it’ll take me quite a while yet to get out of Skyloft yet 😢

Ps, really annoyed!

Valve should’ve one-upped Nintendo by calling it the Steam Pro. Opportunity missed.

First game I’ll buy for it? Persona 4 Golden. And, if it comes to Steam as part of the series' 25th anniversary, P5R.

@damien33ad Yep, I really enjoyed Breath of the Wild, but its lack of dungeons, cool bosses and a proper story mean, for me, it’ll never be up there with the likes of Wind Waker, Link’s Awakening or A Link Between Worlds. Looking forward to playing Skyward Sword for the first time tomorrow. Enjoy it, buddy!

7, 8, 9 or 10/10. Scores don’t mean much to me and I’ll be getting Skyward Sword regardless of its Metacritic tally. Can’t wait!

After initially not fancying it when it was first announced, I now find myself super excited for Skyward Sword on Switch!

It’s my birthday on Saturday (my 48th.. ouch!), so I’m rather hoping my wife or the kids have a nice surprise for me.

Famitsu? Means zilchu!

Excellent news. Looking forward to playing this for the very first time this weekend!

I’ve been trying to pre-order the white OLED here in the UK, but can’t get one for the life of me. Smyths have the Neon variant available, but I want the white one. Damn scalpers!

[EDIT] Wow, Kate, this burn-in sounds like a horrible business. I’m now slightly concerned. That being said, I had the OLED Vita for, like, four or five years and never came across the issue. Fingers crossed for the same with the Switch. If I ever manage to order one, that is!

@RupeeClock Completely agree. I only play in docked mode on the TV, so as sharp as the new Switch looks in its white suit, I’ll be sticking with my existing V2 model. Especially as I have a 512GB SD card, so the I don’t need the extra 32GB either. Looks a decent purchase for handheld players though.

Very underwhelmed. I’ll not be getting one, that’s fir sure.

I’m actually really digging the look of this! Risk System releasing 15th July. Duly noted 🙂

@darkswabber Hey man, I have Crohn’s, too. Just wanted to say 'Hi' and that if you ever want to talk to someone who gets it, please do reach out, okay? Have a good weekend!

As for what I’m planning this weekend, I’ll no doubt play some MK8D with the kids, but I’m also playing through The Last of Us Part II on PS5. So far, so… amazing!

Momodora is a fantastic shout, but there’s some decidedly average games in this list, too.

You motorboatin’ son of a bi*ch you!

I have a 512GB SD card, which sounds like plenty, but I have something like 1,500 digital games (and that’s just my EU account), so space for new stuff is a constant issue. I never delete my fist-party games or my favourite indies. You know, the Cuphead’s, Ori’s and Hollow Knight’s of this world. Other than that, I’m afraid to say that nothing’s safe from the chop.

Shame I (and so many others) can’t download any updates or software because of Nintendo’s corrupt firmware update. Annoying isn’t the word.

Really digging the look of this. With my current backlog though, it’ll have to go on the wishlist for now.

Yeah, I can’t download any updates for any of my games and it’s super annoying 😡

Yep, I’d agree with most of that. I’m not an Xbox guy, but, for me at least, Microsoft had the best E3 presentation. By quite a margin, too.

@OorWullie Espgaluda II is my favourite ever shmup! Didn’t realise it was headed to Switch, so that’s great news. I’m guessing it’ll be Japan only though? Really hope the one you forget the name of is Dondonpachi Resurrection.

Awesome news! Now please bring ESP RA.DE. to western eShops!

Lands Switch on soon?

@Olliemar28 Take your time and soak in every glorious minute of Astro’s Playroom, Ollie. It’s the best platformer since Odyssey, 3D or otherwise! I still need to mop up five or six of the collectibles to pop the platinum, so I may dive back in this weekend.

My eldest is coming over today, so on Switch, I’ll be playing MK8D with both my daughters. I may even let them win for once! 😇

They do love Human Fall Flat in Japan, don’t they!

@nessisonett Agreed, Clap Hanz Golf is excellent. It plays even better with a Backbone controller. As do most Apple Arcade games, to be fair. I highly recommend anyone picking one up. My iPhone 12 (Pro Max) in the Backbone feels way better in the hands than even the Switch. That’s feels better, I’m not saying it is better! 😉

@Krull Thank you! At least some people here are mature and sensible. I really don’t understand all these people suggesting everything on mobile is nothing but pure trash. In fact, there are some truly outstanding games on mobile. Just like any other platform. You’re absolutely right, these people are snobs and missing out on fantastic experiences just to spite their own faces. I really can’t stand that kind of attitude.

Fantasian, please!

This looks pretty ace. I’ll be giving it a go for sure!

@LameUsername Thank you. It’s reassuring to know that there is a proportion of mature readers on this site (and Push Square). I mean, I love Wind Waker, but it’s funny that his avatar is a child version of Link!

@CorvoRevo Sony fanboy? Haha, I’m a fan of all consoles, even the ones I don’t own. Then again, I’m an adult. Only goes to show how many unsavoury, closed-minded weirdo’s that pop up in the NL comments. Though the same can be said for Push Square, too. Such an ugly trait.

@CorvoRevo Nice attitude, buddy. Real mature.

@AmplifyMJ I was just thinking the exact same thing. Love to see a nice Nintendo/PlayStation mix of software sales. Very healthy. It’ll be interesting to see how Microsoft do when their Series X/S exclusives eventually start to release… whenever that may be!

Can’t think of anything much better than having NieR, especially Automata, on Switch. Well, other than Persona 5, of course!

Looks cool. Why do I not want one? Oh yeah, price and touchscreen only. Ouch!

@SuperWeird That should be a given. But four years later, here we are 🧐

@Dogorilla Ghost Trick for Switch! Ghost Trick for Switch! Ghost Trick for Switch!

Thank heavens for that. I was beginning to think of my Switch as increasingly redundant these days 😥

@JasmineDragon Man, I want ESP Ra.De so bad! Looking forward to Cotton Reboot next month though.

I’ve been playing Horizon Zero Dawn on PS4, but I’ll also be playing lots of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe with my girls whenever we converge on the sofa over the weekend.

Oooh, I’ll definitely be giving this a watch come bedtime! Not quite sure why exactly, but I’m really interested in these games. Gotta love that Nintendo seal of quality.

Not to crazy about the box-sized icons, but... FOLDERS!!!! If only Nintendo would give us the bloody things!

Looks cool. Oddventure sure has my attention.

@RupeeClock Yep, that’s one of the reasons I bought the DLC. Theme’s and offline Marathon Mode!

@Dogorilla Yeah, I’ve picked up the Splatoon and original Tetris theme’s. They’re awesome!
