@Anti-Matter I know you love the cute stuff. You make it sound like the direct should have satisfied your very precise taste. Not every game can be Yooka-Laylee, Crash Bandicoot or Spyro, sorry bro.
@JTTSantos
Well, to be more precise, I've liked Limbo a LOT. But Little Nightmares put me off with the (sometimes very) long loadings, which may have made me less indulgent towards some gameplay faults (imo). But I'll try giving it a chance...
@Cobalt @AlternateButtons Blaming Switch versions for not being on par with on PS4 makes as much sense as considering a GameBoy version of a game terrible because "it is too black & whitish" compared to the Snes version.
I could have been tempted if these arcade re-releases had been bundled-up together. But as single releases, and as expensive as cheap indie games or Neo Geo games, I'll pass !
@Zuljaras If we want "big" games (as in "file size big") there's only two ways : a separate download or a bigger cartridge.
They must have estimated that they'd sell less copies if the game was about 15$ more expensive, and that people would welcome the conveniency of a free download installing itself as you're already playing the game.
Also I don't really get how this is a big problem on Switch when it was okay on PS4, Xbox and PC.

I like Night Call, it has kind of a Papers Please vibe.

@Anti-Matter
There's not that many 3D indies, and for a reason : it's much harder to "look good" by today's standards with an indie budget.
Re: THQ Nordic Acquires TimeSplitters Series, Suggests A New Game Is On The Way
The second one was awesome ! I wouldn't bother with the first and third, though.
Re: Poll: What Do You Want From Today's Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Direct?
The E3 turned out to be a Smash Bros direct... so I expect this Smash Bros direct to feature lots of other games !
Re: Square Enix Suggests We Can Expect More Games Like Octopath Traveler In The Future
Good news that it'll be fore everyone. Exclusives are a pain in the ass, really.

Re: Nintendo Hid A Fully-Working NES Emulator Inside Animal Crossing On GameCube
@TsukiDeity
An announcement this year, with a release by Xmas or early 2019 would be a good move !
Re: Review: Octopath Traveler (Switch)
According to some reviews, the formula of having 8 beginnings in a row is repetitive. So I'm wondering :
Can you recruit a party of 4, and do the whole game with them four ? (and then do it again later with the other four)

If it's not AAA, it's always too expensive somehow.

Re: Scratch That Pilotwings Itch With Pilot Sports, Coming To Switch Later This Year
Yeah !!
That's all I was dreaming of. Just give us more than 1 island this time and it'll be awesome !
Re: Review: Inside (Switch eShop)
I was disappointed by Little Nightmares, and it's keeping me away from the "genre".
Is Inside very different ?
Re: It Looks Like Skyrim On Switch Will Never Get Mods Or The Creation Club
They could at least port a batch of the "best" doable ones, it's a shame.
Re: Video: Digital Foundry Gives Panic Button's Wolfenstein II Port The Tick Of Approval

Blaming Switch versions for not being on par with on PS4 makes as much sense as considering a GameBoy version of a game terrible because "it is too black & whitish" compared to the Snes version.

I'd love to be confirmed that motion controls are not mandatory.
What about the price ?
Re: Random: This 'Joy Boy' Hardware Concept Could Be The Virtual Console Solution We Need
Replacing the original screen with a smaller one and in the process making the L and R buttons impossible to reach ? What a great idea !

Re: Nintendo Is Open To Dropping The 'Direct' Approach At Future E3 Events
Can't see how it would be better for anybody : I don't feel like Nintendo's style is very compatible with a "big event conference"

Re: Have A Blazkowicz With These Three Alternative Box Art Sleeves For Wolfenstein II
@Zuljaras
"And yes you are right. They are almost sure that the game will not sell well." > not what I said.
With LA Noire you could start playing right away, as the download was progressing in the background, and I'm pretty sure it was the same with Doom.

There's a jack plugged in on the video so I'm pretty sure he recorded externally.
Re: Vertically-Scrolling Shooter Black Bird Will Blast A Path Of Upwards Destruction On Switch
