Happy toy day to everybody on this site! I am usually not into commenting or online communication. But this place here is kinda cozy and I enjoy it.

Let's hope 2021 will actually be a bit better (in general) and that we get NSO Gameboy and the Tony Hawk remasters. 🎄

This looks kinda cool. But what I really want is Policenauts.

@SeantheDon29 How many hours do you got in Yu-Gi-Oh?

I am EU, so no stats for me I guess. But since I only got 11 games on my Switch, I kinda know what they are anyway.

@ADV good point. Very good point.

This is childish. Just like the game.

I really crave for a TGC game that I got sucked into with a lot if collecting, events and (yes I say it) mtx and boosters.
But I just can't get into the looks of YGO. The cards look terrible in my opinion.

Hopefully Magic Arena will come at some point. But seeing how long they took to even get it going for Mac ...

@nessisonett To further proof your point: I never considered Stadia before I read your comment. I don't want a PC or console apart from my Switch. But I do want to play Cyberpunk.

Edit: aaaand I just googled (ha) what I need to do so. Looks like I need some Chromecast thingy for the TV and stuff. Which is already more things that I want to have lying around at home just to play this one game.

I bought Arc of Alchemist the other day because it was on sale and I liked to idea of grinding RPG to build some city stuff.
But I gave up just after a few minutes. I am no fps snob, but this felt like under 20fps and was just exhausting because of it.

I would really like to have the original Gameboy games in a collection. I never played them and would love to do so on my Switch with Pokemon Home.

I also would like a TCG. Even though I would probably lose all my life saving in the mtx shop there buying boosters.

So there is still hope for more MK8 DLC

Never thought I see Donald Duck as part of something Steampunk related.

I don't know tbh. If it would not be surrounded by so much hype I would have no interest I guess. It looks pretty bad, but I know it's all about the concept in this case. The thing is that I did not understand the concept and what makes it fun so far. I guess I have to watch an explanation video at some point. (Which I probably could have done in the same time as writing this...)

I want a Switch TCG like this.
The one time I wish they milk an IP they don't do it.

This looks really good and loaded with personality. The frog after the "credits" sold me.

I played the previous one (Wings) and this reads like it is exactly that again. I also agree with the review that this is not a bad thing. Just nothing to talk about that much.

@Jakiboy Ah cmon. Just for the throwback gameplay vid alone it was worth it.

Man these look so much cooler then the ones we get.

No need for MK9 then

@Desrever "I might even get around to playing half way through the first stage"

This is genius and so true.

I think that fireman thing and Valis look really cool. I rather have more unknown stuff like that.

Also Nightshade looks crazy good for NES.

Anyway happy that they give us an update.

Mario Kartoffel. Holy ***** how did you even come up with that stuff? I am german and would have never even thought about it.

Bakugan II: Champions of Eggland

@Entrr_username because otherwise it would not count as another Wii U port when it comes to Switch.

Japan. Both kinda ugly though.

@nessisonett I agree. I think EA did a really good job with this port. And they basically came to the rescue in filling the arcade racer void the Switch had for way to long.

@Danrenfroe2016 They do feel rather heavy. But it is also made by the same people who made Burnout. So maybe you could still enjoy it.

Personally it is Need for Speed because it ended the long "proper" arcade racer drought for me. (Since I did not enjoy Burnout that much because of the tracks)

I like the CI of the thing. I know nobody cares and "don't judge a book by its cover" etc.
But it just looks inviting and like it's own thing.

Does the Capcom thing make the Beat em Up collection obsolete then?

@SilentHunter382 Sometimes I even enjoy games because they aged poorly. I kind of have a weird soft spot for games that make you work for it.

I have to say that I really like it. The graphics and music are something that actually really appeal to me.
I just wish they patch the brightness.

@Krambo42 what was the difference to 2016 that made you feel that way early on?

The prices appear to be very fair to me. Considering it's all handmade.

@SilentHunter382 Oh ok. I remember being able to go back to your corpse and collect your stuff and xp.

@SilentHunter382 @SwitchVogel thank you a lot for taking the time to explain it to me. 🙏

So basically Diablo was already a souls game right?

Clearly japan for me. Looks like so much fun.

@SilentHunter382 what exactly is the souls genre?
I always thought its games like Dark Souls (hence the name), but these days I hear the description a lot together with Immortals Fenyx Rising. Which - in my opinion at least - is something completely different.

I also did a google search before asking here. But I could not really get a clear answer on what the souls genre is in short terms. Maybe my english is not good enough to understand the nuances.

@Snatcher Ni no Kuni, Taiko no Tatsujin, Okami no Spoilers

@yusuf2002 I like how stupid and slapstick it is. Refreshing to see a new AAA game not being broody and ultra serious.

Taiko no Tatsujin Rythmic Adventure 1 & 2
Was not completely sure what to expect. But it is totally bonkers in the best way possible so far.

Immortals Fenyx Rising
I am already 15-ish hours in, even though I should wait for the rumored patch in a few days. It really looks rough. But it is such an entertaining game.

Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon ... etc
Finished map 2. Still avoiding to do weapon management. I feel like I have to do it soon tough.
I like the game. Was afraid of it, but found myself enjoying it so far. These kind of hard to access games have some of their own magic.

Ah. I never had an NES and thought that the dull and dark image was just being "close to the original". Annoying to learn that it is not. Because I immediately noticed it in a negative way weeks ago on the eShop screenshots, but just accepted it as being an old game.

Man. It feel like that 90% of Switch releases are shoddy this past year. Really depressing.

@ShockFire10 I guess something in my brain is different then. I find Pikachus noises rather annoying in this case.

@HorridCrow thank you. But I was being ironic.

My Switch library would be so much bigger if I could read japanese. Their stuff is so much more up my alley than most things we get.

I don't get it. Is this art?

I was looking forward to this until I played the demo tbh.
Maybe the boring second stage (sewer hallway or something) was not the best way to show the game off.

I just finished the first stage a few hours ago (I guess it was playable sooner in EU because of time zones) and I enjoyed it more (so far) then I expected I would. Because all the reviews, saying how brutal difficult and clunky it is, scared me a bit.

Still afraid of the difficulty to go way up. But the clunkiness is something I actually enjoy if I am honest. I have a soft spot for this "non explanation time" in gaming where there was so much guessing and unnecessary work involved from the players part.

My favorite example is the cake shop in Phantasy Star.

And I am not even being nostalgic, because I was not around at that time. Just experiencing it now trough ports.

Great review. But I am just burned out when it comes to pixel sidescrollers.
