Chicken Wiggle was reasonably charming and clever, and the Switch doesn't have many good games with in-depth level editors. I'd love to see this make it over!
I will definitely be getting a bunch of games including And Yet It Moves and the LostWinds games. Oooh and the ArtStyle games, I loved the DSiWare entries in that series.
Looks really charming but even after reading the review I don't have much of an idea what the game play is actually like... Still, it's on my Switch wish list.
I got a review code myself and have been having a lot of fun playing these games. My main issue was with some technical troubles in Civic Doodle, where the drawings wouldn't show up correctly on the big screen. It was a bit of a bummer in the games I played. The other 4 are great, and I found Monster Seeking Monster hilarious!
I reviewed the game too, and was similarly confused by the lack of online. Turns out, online has since been added via a post-launch update. Didn't seem to be (m)any people online though, but it is there. There's also a DLC character.
@RyanCraddock You may want to update the review to reflect that there is indeed online play.
I had hours of fun with the NES version on Wii. Multiplayer is a must here! Price point seems a bit steep for something so basic, not to mention old. I have problems with companies profiting off of ancient games; after a certain point, they should be free. They're a part of history. But that's my two cents! You can get the game "Woah Dave", which is very Mario Bros like in its 1-room simplicity and increasing difficulty, for $5 on Wii U AND 3DS (cross-buy!). And that game is even more frantic, fun, and controls like a modern hardcore platformer instead of a clunky early arcade game. I wish Woah Dave! was on Switch, tbh. It would be a perfect game for "sharing the joy."
Quick. Give me some of the best WiiWare games I may have missed! Here are some of my faves: Cave Story. La Mulana. Strong Bad. Chick Chick Boom and MotoHeroz were great for multiplayer. The Bit.Trip series was mixed, but good overall. I never played either LostWinds, any of the WiiWare ArtStyle games, or Mega Man 9 or 10. What else is a must-play?
The version released on the New 3DS is Binding of Isaac: Rebirth, which is an expansion/remake of the original. There is a ton of content to see in BOI Rebirth alone and you can play it for hundreds of hours.
It's one of only two New 3DS exclusive games, so I'd say if you have a New 3DS (and don't mind the filthy content), get Isaac.
@TsukiDeity Don't most character creation tools let you control the size of various parts of the character? I don't think anyone is offended by this...
Only $5 for Revelations?? I might finally pick that up. I've never played any RE games before, will this be an issue for me? Heck, I might get Mercenaries too, just because of the sale.
The Ashley Halloween theme looks cute too, but I think I'll just switch to my Rottytops theme for Halloween instead.
Brilliant idea. And it's not just a "sneaky strategy," STEAM uses Fire Emblem amiibo in the game, so it makes a lot of sense to bundle them. This way, people who actually want STEAM have a chance to get the amiibo that works with it. I have STEAM in NA and very little chance of getting a Marth or Ike (or Robin) for a reasonable price. Meaning I'm missing out on part of the game.
Of course that's >implying that people won't buy these bundles to resell the amiibo and game.

Don't care, I need this.
Re: Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze Will Get A Retail Release (But It'll Cost You $60)
This is a really bad article... :/
On Nintendo's official site, there is still no price listed. It's still not confirmed. It's the retailers that have it set at the $59.99 price point.
NOE's site doesn't have a "buy physical" link because the game's not out for 2 months.

Re: Reminder: Time To Purchase Wii Shop Points Is Running Out
MotoHeroz and Chick Chick Boom are both really fun multiplayer games... if you still have your dusty old Wii (U) sitting around.

Re: Freedom Planet On The Wii U Just Got A Sizable Update
I still play my Wii U. I have a half-dozen exclusives (Bayonetta 2, Pikmin 3, WWHD, TPHD, Wonderful101) I've barely even touched.
This game on the other hand, I haven't really been able to get into it... yet. Now that it has a playable bunny, maybe.

@Reverandjames I'm still in the first case of DD so I can't offer my verdict on that one yet. But Apollo Justice blows away the original trilogy imo.

Re: Nintendo Further Explains Fire Emblem Fates Localisation, With Same-Sex Marriages In Each Version

Fire Emblem is still weeby as hell, with characters being walking stereotypes. But that doesn't mean I don't still enjoy FE: Awakening.

Re: You Can't Alter The Chest Size Of Female Characters In The Western Version Of Xenoblade Chronicles X
I'm against it, because screw censorship.
It's not a big deal on its own, although it is kind of dumb. But it's censorship, which isn't cool.
It's part of character creation. What's the big deal?
Re: Nintendo Is Making Female Characters Cover Up For The Western Version Of Xenoblade Chronicles X
I I'm ok with this. Ordinarily I hate censorship but the "before" outfits are a bit icky for me
