I never used that feature anyway.

I would be much more inclined to buy a subscription with access to a library of games. Like let's say a cloud based Xbox Game Pass. At least then I'm entiteled to a partial refund should the servers be turned off.

When I put down a bigger one-time payment I want to have access to the game regardless of my internet connection. I will never pay 30-60 for an online-only game that can have it's servers shut down at any time, essentially rendering my purchase pointless.

The only exception to this is if the game is an mmo.

"Overall most anticipated: Forza.."
Are you high? There was 30 youtube videos for every Forza video talking about "Super Nintendo Switch" or "Switch Pro". I'm not exaggerating saying there was 2-5 new videos in my feed covering that topic every single day.

Don't get me wrong, I do agree that Xbox won E3 with the amount of content. Especially if you have Gamepass.
Nintendo had very little 'new' reveals and they absolutely dropped the ball on Zelda's and Donkey Kongs anniversary.

But hey, Monster Hunter Stories 2, Wario Ware and Advance Wars was enough to make me happy.
Do I think that applies to the majority? Hell no!

I hate this. Very very very much.

I think it's highly immoral to pass off some free demo dev tools as your own game and then sell it. But it's technically not wrong so it will never stop. But I'm glad people like Jim Stirling and Asset Flip Warning are reporting on it.

I wonder how certain sections in the game will work on console. If you've played it you know what I'm talking about.
I honestly never thought this would get ported.

Looks good! The first one was very fun but challanging. And this is the closest we're getting to a Mario RPG right now.

Griftlands is seriously good! I've been hooked for three days now. Every time I sit down with it I'm absorbed and then I look up and it's 2 a.m. And I usually don't even like deck builders.

Stop. Pre-ordering. Games.
Demand to see a f̶i̶n̶i̶s̶h̶e̶d̶ product before you pay for it.

Buy it now. It's really good. Probably my favorite Klei game to date. And I'm not usually into deck building games.

LoZ Link to the Past and Super Mario World.
I never had a SNES so I never played those until now.

Yes, if it has online and couch multiplayer from launch.

This game is a blast!

"HOLY ***** I PLAYED THE CRAP OUT OF THAT GAME ON MEGA DRIVE (Genesis)"
"It's not that game."
"...noo."

Game is fun and runs well enough. It's very relaxing so it works perfectly as a "podcast game".
My three gripes are 1. only the host gets mission progress in multiplayer sessions. Guests only gets cash, exp, unlocked upgrades/trucks.
2. No in-game radio to listen to some nice tunes on long hauls. I understand that would have required some music licensing but it would have been nice. Not a big deal but I did look for for it.
3. The map UI is a bit confusing. It's hard to tell which trailers and cars are part of a quest and which ones are up for grabs. The only way to find out is to go through every single mission and see if it shows up in the objectives.

But I really like this game. If you're looking for a chill game this one fits the bill excellently.

Damn, for 1 second I thought we were getting Netflix on Switch

Ghost Trick is on my top ten list of games of all time.
If anyone was interested.

As I understand it the problem isn't that Imaginary used the mGBA sourcecode in their game and then put it on the eshop. That was allowed in the EULA.

The problem is they knowingly removed the creator's name from the source code and didn't mention it in the credits either.

So basically it's like using a free game engine and then not credit the engine maker at all?

I can't in good conscience support Blizzard after what they have done in recent years.

Instead of these you could actually buy a good Kemco game that's on sale - Root Letter which is actually a really good visual novel.
And don't trust NL's review, the game deserves better than that.

This app got more press coverage than niche games like Paradise Killer or Root Film. So clearly they are doing something right. 😉

Day one purchase for me. I loved Phantom Brave.

Balan should come with a complimentary therepy session because anyone who buys it must suffer with self-loathing.

I want to see more creations! This is the biggest selling point of the game.

@Kienda don't count on it. I get asked what you do in Monster Hunter a lot.

My interest died when they removed the option to travel on the caravan together with friends.
Sure you can do dungeons together but the story and your village is a solo experience and it's not fun.

I know I shouldn't port beg but man do I want PixelJunk Shooter and Monsters 1 on Switch.

The thing with Nintendo is they have lied about limited availability before to create demand. Actually Nintendo has done this alot to boost sales before. So it's impossible to know if this is true or manufactured scarcely.

Great news! Great game although a little too grindy even for me.

Sold! Can't wait to go on an epic adventure to stop Dark Lord Bobby Kotick from stealing everyones faces and jobs.

Considering a yoga mat without the Ring Fit brand goes for 25-40$ it's a little pricey imo.

Cozy Grove for me. I need another Animal Crossing/Spiritfarer game to chill between Zinogre hunts.

You know fomo is a strong market munipulation tool but so is good will.
And this kind of stunts hurts Nintendo's pretty bad in my opinion.
I'll switch console brand real quick if this becomes a common thing.
Making Amiibos scarce on purpose back in the day, the joycon drift, removing VC console, the current state of Super Mario Party, charging 60€ for WiiU ports, no headphone jack on the pro controller. It's droplets of irritation that can quickly add up to an overall bad experience.
Anyway I'll go back to playing Monster Hunter Rise now.

What about the amiibos? Will they ever be available?

I NEED all three but I'm gussing scalpers are going to get them first.

@Wexter Well, you're right. It doesn't. But lack of relevance will not stop people from being angry at Nintendo after that incident.
You asked why people are angry at Nintendo and I think this is one of the reasons.

@Uzukage Fair enough. I stand corrected. I just meant the mod wasn't used for piracy. It enabled online play to a 20 year old game. But yeah, I can't say it's legal.

@Wexter because Nintendo cancelled a Smash Melee tournament that used a mod to give it online compatibility due to the pandemic. The mod would be used on legally bought Smash Melee copies of the game. Nintendo shut it down.

Then people got so angry even the Splatoon 2 community joined in the backlash, using SaveSmash in their team names in an upcoming tornament. Nintendo shut that down too.

Tl:dr Nintendo shut down a Smash Melee and a Splatoon 2 tournament because of a harmless mod that had nothing to do with piracy and was necessary during the pandemic.

I have LiS 1 and 2 on PC but I'd double dip again if it came to Switch.
These games are wonderful.

But don't worry. CEO Bobby Kotick still got his $220 million bonus. If you were worried about the poor fella. I personally hope he recieved it in Battle Net gift-cards too.

GROSS!!!!!

I'd argue that severs to keep Mario 35 running does cost Nintendo barely anything.
People keep repeating servers are expensive but 99,9% of all games are P2P and the only server running is for matchmaking. And that costs between 60-1000 bucks a year depending on popularity. For Mario 35 I'm guessing 200 and that's being generous.

March is kinda spent so to say but I'll pick it up in April or May. <3

I love this game!
It's basically a Mafia/Warewolf rogue-lite visual novel.
The art-style is absolutely gorgeos!

Do it for all of EU while you're at it.

I'm addicted to this game!

That's quite a nerve asking that after releasing Persona 5 Strikers but not the original game.
"Did you guys want aaaanything else?"

The game is great. 9/10
What if Warewolf was a rogue-lite visual-novel rpg?

Each run is randomized with different roles for the crew members. You are either a human trying to vote out the Gnosia (the killer(s)) or you could also be a Gnosia yourself, trying to kill everyone without being discovered yourself.

There are several other roles as well like the engineer, who can test a selected person if they are Gnosia, or the Guardan Angel, who can defend one selected crew member from death each night.

Each run rewards you an amount of exp depending on if you win or lose which let's you level up different stats that helps you detect lies, be more influential, less likely to be targeted or being able to see further back in the voting logs for example.

It has no voice-acting and the dialogue can get repetitive after a while (especially during voting) but thanks to a good A.I, the random roles and great writing it's always suspenseful and quite challenging to find out who are the Gnosia.

If frame-rate is stable I buy day one.-

Sounds too good. I don't doubt the leak, I'm just convinced there will be some way GF will make it lame.
