@CCore28 Nintendo's doing great right now : the console is selling like crazy, and most of their games sold great and are still selling a lot : This year Kirby, DK tropical freeze and Mario Tennis sold amazingly well (and N-Labo too, mind everybody), and I'm pretty sure Mario Party, Pokemon Let's Go and Smash are going to hit real hard.
@Nincompoop @Mando44646 @CCore28 @Cobalt When was the last time a Nintendo system was big on 3rd party support ? I'd say the Snes was. If you bought the Switch expecting plentiful "3rd party AAA exclusives" you got the wrong system.
@BumpkinRich @NintendoKnight There's a difference between having an opinion and crying out loud each time a game comes out that's not all flashy colours and happy cuteness.
@Anti-Matter Monster Boy is as cute and colorful as it gets. I know you want 3D not 2D, but then again : the narrower your tastes are, the less chances you have to be satisfied. If I decide only black and white games where a waitress is the hero are worth my interest, I can't act surprised that there's not one in every Nintendo presentation.
@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.

You'll have to buy them separately, but you can then put them in the same box in your home.

I didn't think there was a big difference between the two games.

Did you try out Wonder Boy ? It'll be very close to that.

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: 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)

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 ?

"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.
