So these are the folks behind Cubelife, which was okay until Minecraft came to the Wii U.
There is no way this releases. You cannot appropriate all of those people's and characters' images without a license. Someone will sue, maybe The Donald.
With all the $7.50-$20 shooters than have been on offer lately, I'd really love a more immersive AAA experience. This games looks like it promises that, but as an adult, I have zero interest in the toys. I understand they are optional, but sounds like several were needed to finish the demo (in a Skylander/Infinity character death sort of way). More clarity desired....
That byline had me, but alas, this is not pod racing. SWE1R needs a proper successor on a Nintendo console. FAST Neo Racing/RMX were close but still not as fantastic as that N64 classic.
@EmirParkreiner : That is hot news! I wanted RXN Raijin at release, but could not pony up the $38 bucks. Have to make another visit to the JPN eShop now....THANKS!
What nonsense! Was supposed to be a near-launch title and it’s been sitting in my order history for over a year. Should just by the Xbox version for $20...but I’m a stubborn fanboy I suppose.....
I put two significant cracks on my backplate trying to install that stupid Nyko metal kickstand, whcih was too heavy to be enjoyed regardless. Just purchased a new OEM backplate as result. But now see my top vent "ribs" are now cracked. Doh.
@Dualmask : IMHO, what doesn't feel right is how it sounds. Castlevania soundtracks are aggressively awesome. The sad violins feel like a page ripped from Castle of Heart, whose soundtrack represents a MISSED opportunity.
Hey all. I had to "RESTART" our Switch to get the update to load. Closing and rebooting the game was an endless cycle of futility, as was doing so after hitting "SLEEP".
I suppose it happened in music so it could happen here, but this would be devastating to retailers who sell consoles, controllers, etc. They have a hard enough time competing with Amazon, but now they'd have no games to sell?!? RIP Gamestop.
This is not nearly as bad as the headline lead on (so kudos on an effective headline!) I built my collection on the second hand market but Nintendo didn't get a dime of that money. So if these second hand cards were used for piracy, I don't blame Nintendo for killing them regardless of present ownership.
As long as you buy second hand from a reputable seller who tests and offers returns, this should not be a problem.
@NL: The EULA is between EPIC and consumers. As between those two parties (only), EPIC has sole discretion.
I wish Sony would allow cross-play, but legally and ethically, it's their call. It's their system and they get to say what goes on it and how it is used (Nintendo does the same thing). Sony is hurting itself though, because cross-play is what users and developers want.
@Anti-Matter : Really thought we'd see those at E3 for Holiday 2018 season. Given it's price tag and nature, seems to me Labo is a good fit for Holiday sales . . . .
I really was not certain Fortnite was coming, and certainly did not think it would be free to play on the Switch, nor that it would be an OUT NOW! moment. So chin up, Reggie, you surprised and delighted this father of two Fortnite addicts.
At this point, @NL could do a monthly feature regarding a long awaited game stuck in development purgatory (as if NL doesn't have enough to write about).
A new Smash, the Pokemon Games and Fortnite are HUGE in significant gaming circles.
The problem is that if you are a core Nintendo gamer, you got Super Mario Party, Mario Aces, Star Fox in a third party toys-to-life game and DK in Rabbids. So yeah, that's pretty disappointing.
I still think Big N has one significant reveal this week . . . and her name is Bayonetta.
@PlayedNSlayed : The "storm" is a way to confine the players into progressively smaller areas. There is a white circle on the map on the top right that indicates where you are proximate to the circle. Be inside the circle to avoid the storm.
Building stuff allows you to create shelters or as hunters call them, blinds. You might be pinned down behind it but you can emerge from behind it unexpectedly and shoot down your opposition.
I'm sure there are some quick youtube tutorials out there from skilled players....
My kids reported no differences (that they cared about) between Xbox 1 and Switch. They were thrilled to learn that by logging in with their Epic accounts (created for Xbox play), all of their purchases were available on the Switch. Great that Nintendo is now apart of the Fortnite phenomenon.

Re: Guide: New Nintendo Switch Games Releasing In 2018
@kemosabii : Same place where RedOut and 90s Super GP should be, lol. @NL: Nice of you to throw RedOut a bone . . . I wish I shared your optimism.

Re: Latest Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Update Adds Free Breath Of The Wild Content
Sweet ride! I’m sure there will not be a MK9 before the MK mobile game...maybe Summer 2020?

Done. Thanks for the heads up Ryan and to all for the comments.
Re: Talking Point: Switch's Blazing First Year Means Fewer Games In 2018 Shouldn't Be A Concern
And RedOut!! Oh, wait....
SkyForce Reloaded is my favorite 2018 release to date, which is a pretty damning admission I suppose.

OutRun. Thank you, that is all.
Re: Make Your Official NES, SNES And Mega Drive Controllers Wireless With 8BitDo DIY
I love my 8BitDo NESPro30 and the NES receiver. But I really do hate charging and pairing them. Not a concern with the OG.

Re: Nintendo Download: 21st June (North America)
I might buy Air Mail . . . CGR loved the mobile game saying it compares favorably to Pilot Wings and called it "casual gaming heaven".
Definitely in on the Caveman Warriors demo.

Re: Nintendo Expects Third-Party Ports To Arrive On Switch Much Quicker From Next Year
RedOut and Steep will be releasing ANY DAY NOW!!!
And where is the lovely Squadron 51?
At this point, @NL could do a monthly feature regarding a long awaited game stuck in development purgatory (as if NL doesn't have enough to write about).
Re: Nintendo Download: 14th June (North America)
@NL: is the last game listed "the Lost Child"? Title missing.
Also, can you add a note of CAUTION about the broken release that is Tennis World Tour??
