Funny how people can assume the majority of the population shares their personal opinion. FYI - just because "you" never liked the Revelations games, doesn't mean no one else did. So don't ever say nobody wanted a Revelations sequel because that's not factual at all. I'm personally a fan of Revelations 1 and 2 and prefer them over mainline series 5 and 6.
Its worth noting that if you already own one of these, you get the others for free. And these are pretty decent games too (I tried all of them already). Those who got One Strike free with QubicGames' big giveaway last year get another set of free games.
I'm happy with the Split Pad Pro, but the lack of gyro and its incompatibility with the analog sticks calibration makes me keep an eye open for better options. This looks like the best Joy Con alternative, thus far.
Beat a fan translated version of this back in the day. Definitely unique, and while not one ofmy favorites, was certainly memorable enough. Can't wait to see where this goes.
Nintendo's mobile games are bite-sized experiences for non-Nintendo gamers, hoping that a number of them would be enticed enough to buy the real Nintendo games on Switch. This is just a way to expose more people to their IPs. Its not for the people who go to this website, who already know what Nintendo IPs have to offer.
I like Mii Costumes that actually look like the characters being represented, so I got myself Sans and Cuphead. I might get Vault Boy too, because of this.
The only game I only want, and really want, out of the collection is Double Dragon 3. If it were 1-2 dollars cheaper, I would have grabbed this quickly. I wonder if DD3 will make its way to NSO eventually?
Paladins is my most played Switch game. Something about it just clicked with me. I'm taking a break from it now (got burned out due to consecutive Battle Pass grinding seasons) but I'm sure to play a lot of it again once the next patch is released.
@CurryPowderKeg79 Same here. Asphalt 9 is a great palate cleanser for me - I just accomplish what I can from the daily tasks and collect my tokens, doing a few My Career races every now and then. I've only spent $1.99 on this and yet I've accumulated 50 hours of total play time.
Thought I'd be getting a whole bunch of rubbish, but aside from Robonauts (all the rotating makes me nauseous) and Geki Yaba Runner, I've liked what I've gotten. So thank you for the free games!
@sixrings Can you fit OG Xbox one tech in a tablet as thin as a Switch, plus a decent battery and screen, and release that tech in 2017 at a price of $299? Its not just compromise for the sake of compromise, Nintendo was going for portability - the feature that makes the Switch stand out from competitors.
@Zeldafan79 So there is no in-betweens in your world? Only people who can afford videogames and people who can't? People who can only afford to choose and support only one system don't exist? And if they can only afford to go on one system, they shouldn't bother at all?
I love these, but the lack of gyro means I will need the Joycon for certain situations (e.g. BOTW's gyro puzzle shrines, FPS games with gyro aiming). If Nintendo were to come up with their own version but with gyro, I'd replace my Split Pad Pros immediately.
All grips that I've seen, including cases with grips, pale in comparison to Hori's Split Pad Pro. The latter fixes not just the lack of grips but the layout of the sticks/buttons, the lack of a true D-Pad, and potentially the drifting issue.
Even my right JoyCon is drifting now. Its so bad sometimes, I bring a can of compressed air with me to work so I can enjoy the occasional play sessions. Am so looking forward to Hori's split pad pro.
@DaWizerd This happened to me too, thanks to Smash Bros. Ultimate. I emailed their customer support and they offered to ship replacement parts for free (the rubber contacts underneath wore out) but it's been almost a month and I don't have the parts yet.
Bought this game physically on discount at Target, and grabbed a couple of ships, weapon packs, and pilots too. Am stoked that we're getting a free update. I don't mind paying for the additional Star Fox content.
The change to motion controls is killing Fortnite for me right now. After training myself on the previous setup, I now have to unlearn that and learn this roll-based horizontal motion controls.
@Fake-E-Lee If I didn't have a 3DS backlog I'd be doing a solo run of Nine Parchments myself A solo run is definitely something that I'm going to do sometime in the near future.
I only have a 3DS and wouldn't want to buy a Wii U (or any other console) just so I can play Runbow. I'm glad that it got ported to the 3DS and I appreciate the explanation as to why it doesn't have local multiplayer.

Re: Feature: Best Game Boy Color (GBC) Games
Weird that neither of the Spider-Man games cracked top 50.
Re: Talking Point: Wii Features We'd Love To See On Nintendo Switch
What I really miss is StreetPass, along with all the cool ways that games utilized it. Definitely made me bring my 3DS and 2DS everywhere.
Re: Pyra And Mythra Figures Shown In Sakurai's Smash Presentation Are Up For Pre-Order
Interesting. But more importantly, when are we going to get news regarding their amiibo?
Re: Sakurai Explains Why Xenoblade's Rex Isn't A Smash Ultimate DLC Fighter
I'm not a Rex hater, I just think Pyra/Mythra brings more to Smash so I am in favor of her making it into the game.
Re: QubicGames Is Back With Another Ridiculous Switch Sale, 17 Games Discounted To Just $0.17
Mana Spark, Akane, Koloro, One Strike are great buys for $0.17. I was lucky to get them for free in past Qubic Games events.
Re: Gallery: Sakurai Shares Some New Screenshots Of The Next Smash Bros. Ultimate DLC Fighters
I can't wait for the release of their amiibo.

Re: Afterparty, From The Studio That Made Oxenfree, Gets Physical Switch Release
I wish games like Alien Isolation, Crysis, Hellblade, and Doom Eternal would get physical releases.
Re: Atooi Knocks 80% Off Select Switch Games, But The Sale Ends Soon
Whatever happened to the half of Renegade Kid who got the Dementium and Moon licenses?
Re: Konami's Anniversary Collections On The Switch eShop Are Currently 75% Off (US)
I wish Konami would release a bundle of localized Rondo of Blood and Symphony of the Night.
Re: Buy One Qubic Fighting Game "And Grab 3 Others For Free" - This Weekend Only
Its worth noting that if you already own one of these, you get the others for free. And these are pretty decent games too (I tried all of them already). Those who got One Strike free with QubicGames' big giveaway last year get another set of free games.

Re: Review: Infini - A Clever Spatial Puzzler That Looks Like No Other Game You've Played
They just keep giving away games. Some of these are actually pretty decent. I'm definitely giving this a try at least.
Re: Fallout And Tekken Join Splatoon And ARMS With New Smash Bros. Ultimate Mii Outfits
I like Mii Costumes that actually look like the characters being represented, so I got myself Sans and Cuphead. I might get Vault Boy too, because of this.

8/10 - got the CD-i and the Tingle question wrong. Do more of these quizzes!!!

Re: Feature: The Best Free Switch Games To Download Right Now
Paladins is my most played Switch game. Something about it just clicked with me. I'm taking a break from it now (got burned out due to consecutive Battle Pass grinding seasons) but I'm sure to play a lot of it again once the next patch is released.

@Zeldafan79 So there is no in-betweens in your world? Only people who can afford videogames and people who can't? People who can only afford to choose and support only one system don't exist? And if they can only afford to go on one system, they shouldn't bother at all?
Re: Port Specialist Virtuos Advises Other Devs To Not Treat The Switch "As A Secondary Platform"
@Zeldafan79 So based on what you said, I'm either a fool or dirt poor. Because I only follow one platform. Nice.
Re: Hardware Review: Big Hands, Meet The Hori Split Pad Pro for Switch
I love these, but the lack of gyro means I will need the Joycon for certain situations (e.g. BOTW's gyro puzzle shrines, FPS games with gyro aiming). If Nintendo were to come up with their own version but with gyro, I'd replace my Split Pad Pros immediately.
Re: An Overwatch Switch Carry Case Exists, No Prizes For Guessing What Comes Next
I'd be more enthusiastic if I weren't already hooked on Paladins...
Re: Endure The Gauntlet In Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3's First DLC Pack This September
Love this game, already paid for the DLC. Cant wait for the contents of the other DLC packs to be announced.
Re: The Grip Clip Hopes To Make Your Switch More Comfortable However You Like To Play
All grips that I've seen, including cases with grips, pale in comparison to Hori's Split Pad Pro. The latter fixes not just the lack of grips but the layout of the sticks/buttons, the lack of a true D-Pad, and potentially the drifting issue.
Re: Poll: Have Your Joy-Con Been Drifting?
Even my right JoyCon is drifting now. Its so bad sometimes, I bring a can of compressed air with me to work so I can enjoy the occasional play sessions. Am so looking forward to Hori's split pad pro.
Re: Pre-Orders Open For 8BitDo's "Most Advanced Controller" Ever
@Heavyarms55 Fixed with firmware updates.

Re: Ghostbusters: The Video Game Remastered Will Be A GameStop Exclusive In The United States
Of all the places it could have been exclusive to, it had to be Gamestop.
Re: Starlink: Battle For Atlas Is Getting New Star Fox Content And A Free Splitscreen Racing Mode
Bought this game physically on discount at Target, and grabbed a couple of ships, weapon packs, and pilots too. Am stoked that we're getting a free update. I don't mind paying for the additional Star Fox content.

Re: Feature: The Final Wii U Games We'd Like To See On Switch In 2019
No Xenoblade Chronicles X?
Re: Fortnite v5.10 Sees The Return Of Playground Mode, A New Weapon And Birthday Treats
@MrJuancho You now have to tilt your controller counterclockwise if you wanted to look left, like a steering wheel instead of a pointer.
Re: Fortnite v5.10 Sees The Return Of Playground Mode, A New Weapon And Birthday Treats

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend?
I'm hoping to squeeze some time for Doom. If my fiancee is up for it, we'll probably play Nine Parchments.
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend?
@Fake-E-Lee If I didn't have a 3DS backlog I'd be doing a solo run of Nine Parchments myself A solo run is definitely something that I'm going to do sometime in the near future.
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend?
My fiancee and I are hooked on co-op in Nine Parchments! Also playing Fire Emblem Warriors on 3DS whenever she's not in the mood to play.
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend
I'm in the middle of my Fire Emblem Warriors playthrough so I've been playing that. Also hoping for some Nine Parchments co-op with my fiancee.
Re: Pokémon GO Is Dropping Support For Older iPhones
Not complaining, but I'm not upgrading just to keep playing this game either.
Re: Fire Emblem Heroes Adds Characters from Path of Radiance
We don't even have Fire Emblem Heroes in out country yet. We don't know if it'll ever get released here.
Re: Runbow Pocket Devs Explain the Lack of Local Multiplayer and StreetPass
I only have a 3DS and wouldn't want to buy a Wii U (or any other console) just so I can play Runbow. I'm glad that it got ported to the 3DS and I appreciate the explanation as to why it doesn't have local multiplayer.
Re: Soapbox: It's High Time Seiken Densetsu 3 Got A Western Release
I played this game 6 times, to see all of the endings and all of the classes. So I'd love to see this on Virtual Console for the West.
