In France for Black Friday, some Hypermarket offered huge deals - one had the Switch 2 at 50% off its price (around 250€ with MKW), the only catch being that you're reimbursed of the other half in vouchers to buy your groceries in the shop. That was a great deal, 50-$/€ compared to that seems like a tiny discount.
So that's... zero new games, compared to what you could already play the past year on other devices. And from Nintendo itself, only MKW. Kinda sad launch lineup...
I'm this close 🤏 to skipping this Nintendo generation, and I've bought every single Nintendo console since the Gamecube. Why bother buying a Switch 2 if almost every single third party game is either game key or download code? While on PS5, I can have the game on disc for 20€ less? I'd rather stick to my ROG Ally than buying a new system that will do exactly the same thing (and buying a PC key will also be less expensive).
Pokemon Z-A description says it "will launch on Nintendo Switch systems in 2025" and also "releases simultaneously worldwide in 2025"... am I the only one who read that as a hint towards the new Switch and its backwards compatibility?
Is a physical release of Hyper Light Drifter still a thing? I mailed Abylight couple months ago to ask if I should buy the game on sale or wait for a physical edition and they told me to wait, said they would be announcing something soon. Since then, no word...
This park is awesome. Been there last year and it's one of my favs ever. The Harry Potter land is just amazing, and the Flying Dinosaur is one of the best rides I've ever done. Can't wait to go once more and see this new land!
This game is way too short and the ending was so underwhelming! Game was fun but I kept waiting for more. Got it at 13,99€, still feel it was expensive for what I got. It's a small game with a lot of good ideas but when you reach the end, you feel like you've only started to scratch the surface of it. Plus a lot of tiny problems (aiming is really hard!). Enjoyable, but overall I'm disappointed. I'd give it a 6/10.
Hellblade is finally mine! Finished the game on PS4 but really wanted to see how it holds up on Switch. Definitely impressed! Some parts are not that good looking, but overall it's an impressive port.
"This game includes an in-game purchase option for users who do not have a membership." Maybe it's only a link in the game that will get the player to the eShop where they can buy the classic Online membership ?
I saw a guy playing this on his iPhone in the plane few days ago and I really wanted to know what game it was. Design looks fantastic, can't wait to play it !
I used to love this show when I was a kid, yet now it's impossible to find it on DVD/BR for Europe... Or is it ? Anyone has a tip I don't have ? Would really want to watch Captain N again !
Is it just me, or does the visuals look better than in XC2 ? I seem to see improvements, maybe they had more time to polish the standalone than the main game ?
Having read the review, I'm wondering : am I the only one experiencing strong framerate issues with this game ? As strong as in Rime, sometimes have the feeling I play in stop motion...
I don't like the term "port" for these kind of games, they've been released on PS4 and X1 few months ago, they're not really ports, it's nice to be able to play games other systems have too !
Not related to this game but isn't Fe supposed to be released like today in America and tomorrow in Europe but still there are no reviews of the game anywhere ? Strange.
What I would really love, is some textures improvement. When I see how bad these are when you're on a ship, I can't help but feel some parts of the game are still unfinished...

Re: Looks Like Pokémon Sword And Shield Players Can Buy Access To Online Features Without A Subscription
"This game includes an in-game purchase option for users who do not have a membership."
Maybe it's only a link in the game that will get the player to the eShop where they can buy the classic Online membership ?
