@patbacknitro18 See I think you are wrong there (and Ubisoft’s decision on cart size more curious). If you download the deluxe ditigal edition, you get all of the ships/weapons/characters without the toys and at a much cheaper price. Ubisoft should have provided some additional incentive for the physical (and their toys) by avoiding the 6 GB burden on those wanting the physical.
Nefarious could be the sleeper here. Just checked out the trailer and it looks like the evil step sister of a Mega Man game. Hoping NL reviews it soon!
Battery life, better internal storage, a performance boast, and BLUETOOTH. Easy peasy. Do not need a better screen, and the price has proven to be fine.
Futuristic racers are my jam...and from the above comments, I’m not alone. Def feelin the love! Xenon looks great in concept. We’ll soon get bogged down in FPS, online and multiplayer capability, release date, price, file size, etc. But that was one impressive trailer.
(+1 for above conmenters who actually remembered RedOut was coming to the Switch)
@MaSSiVeRiCaN I am slogging my way through Manticore too, and agree with your comments. The space environment here looks similar to Manticore, though the trailer sure does sell the idea there will be a lot more action in Subdivision Infinity.
I still remember awaiting on a surprising long line at Target one morning for my pre-ordered copy of Splatoon. There were a dozen or so Ebayers/scalpers there to buy some new Amiibos. One after one they left the register without Splatoon to my disbelief. I passed on the then-Target exclusive Jigglypoof; I was just so excited for Splatoon. And indeed, I got way more enjoyment out of Splatoon than I ever would have out of some amiibo.
There is a VERY under-reported issue with cross-platform play between Xbox One and the Switch that my kids are experiencing. Basically, if you are a minor, you can forget about cross-play between Switch and Xbox.
From what I gather, because either there EPIC, Microsoft and/or Nintendo accounts reflect they are kids, cross-platform play is no longer available to them. This happened with a recent update and appears to be uncurable (unless you are willing to open a new EPIC account and thereby not have any of the goodies and v-bucks of the existing account). Three hours last night trying to adjust settings on 3 accounts, 2 consoles times 2 kids and nothing worked.
For those familiar: The "Allow Cross-Platform Play" option in the settings is OMITTED from the list of options.
Really stinks to have one kid playing with friends (all of the Xbox) and another having to play with strangers on the Switch due to this situation. Talk about keeping the Switch a second class citizen.
@Razer But that's not until December. And despite it's popularity, I don't think Smash correlates super well to Nintendo's core fans like Mario Kart does. Oh well. trying to keep an open mind . . . .
Reality is hitting me hard on this today: What will the MK8+ and Splatoon 2 lobbies look like tomorrow? ARMS? I am in disbelief that Big N did not pair this launch with a must have online game (cough, MK9 cough)
I've never been so UNDECIDED and conflicted about an upcoming release. Want to love it but really unsure about the gimmicks (and yes I know you don't need to use the toys . . . but you might have to scan them like amiibo or something). And Manticore has been such a PITA with using the precise right ship/weapons to have a chance to advance, contributing to cold feet here.
Time Carnage looks like a FP arcade shooter like Terminator Salvation or that Pirate game I can never seem to remember the name of . . . but always play with the kids. Guess I have a few more days to gather intel (releases 9/12), but thinking I'm in . . . .
Grade school kids around here LOVE fnaf. Mine have even taken (short) breaks from Fortnite to play Ultimate Custom Nights. Would pair well with the Switch even though I personally have zero interest.
Loved SMR. OMG, it has a learning curve, but it’s not that steep. I was able to beat every version of every level and found it challeneging and fun. As for the price, $10 for probably 50+ hours of gameplay in my pocket...sign me up for that every time.
Awesome news. Played the heck out of the first one. Decent racer with decent progression system. Decent online but not live challenges. does need longer races and true online.
Steep has dropped out of the RedOut/Bloodstained/Steep sweepstakes?!? That stinks, as I was looking forward to that squirrel suit. Oh, @everyone: just ignore the trolls.
I've been following Nintendo stock for several years (back when it was $13/share here in the US), and this guy missed his mark! Had he shorted it before E3 and then re-purchased after the crash, he'd look like a genius. Now he just looks like an ignorant hater.

Re: Soapbox: Why Do We Want More Games When We've Already Got Too Many?
Consumerism. It pairs with our innate “collector” gene and any shred of OCD we may have.
