Wii U had great potential, but it was definitely downsized by like 50% of what it could've been. The Switch however was given straight to the point having some of the charm the previous consoles had, but also something unique and something everyone would want. That was what was important to the console. Nobody needed another Wii. The gamepad was like an added accessory.
Got SteamWorld Dig 2 and Golf Story. Enjoyed the first Dig game, not so much with the second. Found it quite lacking in areas. Golf Story not yet finished, but enjoying it slowly. It was indeed a hidden title that seems to show some resemblance to Earthbound.
Didn't really know what Thimbleweed Park was. Now I know and might pick it up. As for Pan Pan, I actually missed this one. Going to get it now and start playing it. Looks good.
I don't know why some of Sonic's latest games been bad in the last 5 or so years, but I remember playing a great one on GameCube and yet nothing similiar has popped up which has made me a bit annoyed.
Still own my gba copy of the game. Did purchase the VC version on Wii U. But I actually don't feel like getting the remake as the original is perfect for me. Plus the extras don't make it more interesting, just a bit more to do.
Haha.. I thought you got to be joking about this being Shovelware games. At first. I saw the first game cover, looked like it could be something good. After scrolling down noticing all the trashy games, I was like.. "yeah.. maybe not so good anymore." The first one was the only decent looking one, but it's probably going to end up something like a hidden object game or point and click adventure game. Although it isn't good to ridicule yet, they may end up being quite good.
I do like Rayman, but never really played much of it. I didn't get the Wii U one, but I was recently thinking of getting the Switch version. Now after seeing the video, I am not too sure about it.
If they fix the loading to be slightly shorter and levels loading better despite the compression, it's actually a good trade. Although I am curious if the compression size is only for the eShop as it makes sense to give a shorter space due to the lack of space.
Here comes the egg puns. There just had to be too many eggciting people.
Is it just me or did you guys forget to post the news about the sweet gift of honey. It doesn't seem like you guys reported it like you done with the others.
I got forma.8. It's a wonderful brilliant game. Sadly it's not that long of game as it takes only a day or two to beat it. Did have some interest in Severed, although didn't know what kind of game it is. Now I know, so I might consider getting it. Especially it's the only game so far that's interesting and uses the touch screen, which seems quite rare for the games now.
Looking at all the games, there is a lot of games that's rather interesting. Listed below are the ones I am interested and will most likely get. (Over 10 games, I got a lot to play in the future.)
Lost Spear Away Light Fingers Battle Chef Brigade Nine Parchments Yono Maluka Steamworld Dig 2 Monsterboy Owlboy Hollow Knight Yokus Island Express
I like Rabbid Mario. He is a really good character for causing damage. Rabbid Peach is a good character for healing. Rabbid Luigi has Vamp skills which help with survivability. Kind of want a team of these three, but can't seem to change Mario's Leader status. Although he also a good character, so a pity I can't use four or more characters. Luigi has low health, which can be problematic in stages. Not sure about Peach, Yoshi or Rabbid Yoshi yet as I haven't got them yet.
I have yet to finish I am Setsuna (I am close to finishing), as I kept being side-tracked with other games. But looking forward to this one anyway as I am Setsuna is a fantastic game.
Miiverse was a good feature to talk about games and seek help if needed.
The feature is actually better used for the 3DS than the Wii U in my opinion. I just hope in the future they consider having options to save screenshots on 3DS, make videos on the Switch and upload the videos/screenshots to sites like YouTube , Facebook , Blogs etc.
I played that demo on Wii U a while back and enjoyed it a lot. I had given up getting it for the Wii U so I could play it for the Switch. So I am really pleased at last I will be finally playing this great game and on the Switch.
I was originally going to get it, but after thinking about it and some of my laziness, decided not to get it. Very pleased in the end that I didn't get it.
I have a big interest in space games to a certain degree. Although I have no interest with the toy side, I may check it out if gameplay turns out quite well and gets me interested.
I played it, never finished it. But I think I was close. Only I was really bothered by those choices that restrict you in getting all the collectables in the one playthrough.
I have seen how great this app is, but nothing about how it works. I understand you need login to retrieve the data and that there will probably be some kind of companion app or something on your PC for your games. I just want to know how it works.
In my opinion, don't trust anything until it is 100% trustworthy. Even if it's unannounced or leaked data. As things can change over time and ideas may be taken back or removed as seen as previous things, most particularly for the Wii U.
Just got back home and noticed update for the game. Will be happy to enjoy the update as I have experienced several of those issues that got fixed/changed.
I bought this recently. Excellent 2DS. I was still using my old 3DS before. In comparison to the screen size after playing on the Wii U GamePad (and Switch) , it felt small, which is why I wanted an XL system. Than I disliked the 3D feature, so I went 2D. As it's the only 2D system that's compact, unlike those junkie blocks, It was the perfect buy for me. Only issue I am having is the power button, not really easy-to-use. Plus the stylus is clamped in the bottom and small. The only negatives of that system, in my opinion.
I bought this yesterday. It is a really great handheld. I am not into the technical side of things, but to how digital foundry put it, seems pretty great. The only thing I dislike, is the stylus and power button. Stylus is horribly small. Although I don't use a stylus anyway. And it's hard to easily press the power button.
"TAIL GRAB: fixed a bug where Tail Grab was unreliable" - No wonder I found it unreliable, because it WAS unreliable. Maybe I should test it to see if it is now reliable.

I used to have interest in Unbox, but changed my mind recently as it didn't look good plus the recent Review confirming my change.
I haven't seen anything about Count Lucanor before, but it sounds rather interesting. I might pick it up.

The other 3 games, got no interest in playing.
Re: Review: Unbox: Newbie's Adventure (Switch)
I had interest in this game, I am glad when I looked through the list of upcoming games that I decided not to get it anymore.
Re: Sega Confirms Sonic Forces Is 720p, 30fps On Nintendo Switch
This game doesn't look appealing to me.

Re: Earthlock: Festival of Magic Wii U Release Date Confirmed Alongside Switch Teaser

Zelda DLC will definitely add hours to my gameplay of fun. Although I won't get straight into it.
Re: Rumour: Leaked Switch SDK Hints At Save Data Transfer And Guest Logins

Re: Hardware Review: New Nintendo 2DS XL
I bought this recently. Excellent 2DS. I was still using my old 3DS before.
