I won't buy this and it makes me sad how they handled everything. First of all there is no physical version for each game. I would have loved to get a complete on card version of Borderlands 2.
What makes it even worse are the huge downloads needed to play this game. The Xbox 360 version has less than 6 GB according to the Xbox Marketplace.
And then the decision not to include Local Wireless for multiplayer without internet connection. It was the perfect chance to release a version for the ages. What in the world?
I'll keep an eye on this, too. But regarding implementing Xbox and PS4 updates in the Switch version, well, in their video they say "will eventually be added"
I bought Lulua and now I wanted to buy Ryza as well, despite not having the time to even try out Lulua. But Ryza is sold out pretty much everywhere in Germany. I asked KOEI Tecmo Europe on Twitter if they are thinking about a reprint but I got no answer so far.
Leave them where they are, please. The Switch has more than enough games already. I want to plug in my Wii U in a few years and still think that it was a great console with some unique games
I bought Puzzle Book with another account on the same Switch a few weeks ago. Therefore I couldn't download Puzzle Book with my main account when it was free. I even can't download or buy it again - it is shown as "purchased".
One Strike wasn't available for free to me. I realized that I had purchased Puzzle Book with another account so I bought One Strike for 4,99€ and hoped today's game Wreckin' Ball Adventure would be available for free again.
But that's not the case. I can't purchase Puzzle Book with my main account nor can I get Wreckin' Ball for free today.
That's not fair. I bought two games of them and didn't do anything wrong but still can't get the other games for free. People who paid nothing at all get everything for free.
Now I'm looking forward to finally see some footage of the upcoming AEW game. Hopefully they don't mess it up but with Kenny Omega standing behind it we might get a pretty good wrestling game.
While the gore factor is nothing I need in my games I do love the developer's Local Wireless support. I plan to buy V2 and this one here twice for local multiplayer fun.
@zionich That's exactly what I did yesterday, even if it is too expensive for a digital game. But I'm still happy I bought it because for me Divinity is way better than PoE. It looks better and is more colorful. There are no bugs. It has co-op multiplayer. Now if only they would have released it physically right from the start. Give it a try, you'll love it!
@Spanjard They so, actually. At least in Japan. Amazon Japan is taking preorders right now and they will Shop worldwide in early January. They also take preorders for the original GameCube Controller for the Switch which is limited to one per customer. Compared to the price for EXLENE controller I think it's worth to think about an import.
But I hope Nintendo Europe will also restock controllers and adapters soon.
@BANJO I think crazier things have happened in the last two years. We just need to resist now and wait a few months. I'm pretty sure someone will grab this one and release it physical for 10 bucks more.
I still own the PS1 original. So, if this trilogy doesn't come complete on cartridge they can keep it. I'm not interested enough in the sequels to justify another "Download the rest, we don't want to buy bigger cartridges" buy.
And with the Labo VR goggles it will look just awful. Labo VR's Alien blasting game was fun and sure, it was an experience. But the resolution is just too low. No more Labo VR stuff for me, even it's for free.
Great. Now that I bought a second copy of the game for local WiFi multiplayer they finally come up with a hotseat mode.
@tovare I didn't win a single game just like you, even on the lowest difficulty setting. There's so much going on and the AI seems to be able to do twice as much as you do in one round. I can't progress on all levels, I need to focus on a few things. And then the AI beats me in the late game. So frustrating. At the lowest difficulty setting players should easily be able to dominate the map.
May I ask for a "The best Local WiFi multiplayer games on Nintendo Switch"? I love to play games that way and the thought of being able to do so without the need of an online connection.
Think of Diablo 3, Minecraft, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and more
@Zimon @mousieone As far as I know the physical version has been delayed until May 14th. At least in Europe. So that's more than a month away. All I meant was that it would be nice to have that patch already on the cartridge.
I prefer retail games that are as complete on cartridge as possible. Of course I know that nowadays too many people don't care about that anymore.

Re: Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath Coming To Switch Early Next Year With Gyro Controls
First of all, I will never ever pre-order digitally again. Not after Pillars of Eternity...
And is there no publisher to release the game physically?
Re: QubicGames Is Giving Away 10 Free Nintendo Switch Games To Everyone, Including You
I already own Puzzle Book from them. It's nice for kids. If only there were puzzles with a lot more pieces

Re: Feature: How Switch Brings Back Game Boy Multiplayer Memories

Re: Saber Interactive Details The Difficulties In Bringing Back Ghostbusters: The Video Game
For me, the missing german voices are the biggest problem and the reason I don't buy it.
Re: Review: Ghostbusters: The Video Game Remastered - Bare-Bones, But A Thrilling Nostalgia Trip
I don't care about multiplayer but there are no german voices in the game anymore. Why's that? The Xbox 360 version had german voices back then.
These lazy ports nowadays... What's going on? In nearly every game something is missing or not done the right way.

Re: Review: Pandemic - A Too-Simple Conversion That's Looking A Little Green
I need no online multiplayer. And since I know the board game I don't need a proper tutorial. So for me it's a 7/10, maybe even a 8/10.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (August 10th)
I'll be playing Pillars of Eternity. It's my first contact with that kind of game.
Re: Review: DOOM II - It's Hell On Earth With This Devilishly Playable Switch Port
When I saw the Joys and Cons my first thought was: Oh my god, the scores are gone! But they're not and I'm sooo happy about it!
By the way: It took me a few seconds to realize the background of "Joys and Cons". Now I'm feeling quite stupid not to see it earlier.

You're probably too young to understand that this shouldn't be necessary
Re: My Time At Portia Will Receive An Early Switch Patch To Improve Poor Loading Times
Hopefully this patch will be on the cartridge when the game launches as retail version in a few weeks.
