I'm still on the fence. On one hand, I'm on a Final Fantasy kick and wouldn't mind experiencing XV (either on Switch or the full version on PS4). On the other, XIII left a bad taste in my mouth.
While waiting for the new Smash to come out, I'm going through a bit of a revival with my Wii U, dusting off a few games in my system's backlog (Wind Waker HD, Darksiders 1, Xenoblade Chronicles).
I was playing yesterday and the game stopped working properly toward the end of a match (I got stuck in a flight of stairs and could not get out. Half of the buttons on my left Joycon stopped working). I quit and played my PS4 version.
I'm cleaning up looking for costumes in Super Mario Odyssey (got the King's and Invisibility outfits last night) and doing a few Pokemon raids in Pokemon GO.
On one hand, this is a cool idea. On the other, I did see a used copy of Diablo III Eternal Collection on PS4 for $18 this afternoon.
EDIT: The thing saving the Switch version for me is that two players can each have a single Joycon and do multiplayer and I currently don't have a second PS4 controller...
The only thing that sticks out to me is Okami, but I don't think I'll quadruple drip (PS2, Wii, PS3...with a Platinum Trophy). All the same, if you haven't played it, I'd still give it a solid recommendation at $20, especially if you love the old school Zelda formula with a heavy feudal Japan influence.
I always considered it in the Adult Link timeline, because Zelda briefly mentions the hero in twlight in a flashback. All the same, it's fun to speculate.

I'm a bit disappointed, but I can understand their rationale.

Part of me expected Red Dead Redemption 2 to take the top spot, leastways with all the talk I'm noticing about it amongst my friends.

@JaxonH That actually helps a lot. Thank you!

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (September 15th)
I finished my Kanto Pokedex in Pokemon Go yesterday, but I'm still working on the Celebi quest. Meanwhile, I may play some Fortnite and Rocket League.

Re: Bastion - A Captivating Indie Gem That Hasn't Been Dulled By The Passage Of Time
I dig my hole, you build a wall...
Re: Fortnite Update On Switch Sacrifices Video Capture Feature To Enhance Performance
I'm just glad they got a working solution (for now). Recording gameplay clips really isn't important to me.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (September 8th)
Probably just Pokemon Go.
Re: PES 2019 Knocks Nintendo Off The Top Of The Japanese Charts
Of all the hardware, only the 2DS and 2DS LL managed to sell more than last week.

Re: Epic Games Now Working With Nintendo To Improve Fortnite Performance On Switch
I was playing yesterday and the game stopped working properly toward the end of a match (I got stuck in a flight of stairs and could not get out. Half of the buttons on my left Joycon stopped working). I quit and played my PS4 version.
Re: Sony Won't Allow Fortnite Cross-Play Because "PlayStation Is The Best Place To Play"
Hate to say it, but with all the bugs and glitches in the Switch version, Yoshida might have a point about PS4 being the best place to play the game.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (September 1st)
I'm cleaning up looking for costumes in Super Mario Odyssey (got the King's and Invisibility outfits last night) and doing a few Pokemon raids in Pokemon GO.
Re: Diablo III On Switch Will Include amiibo Support, According To Blizzard Developer
On one hand, this is a cool idea. On the other, I did see a used copy of Diablo III Eternal Collection on PS4 for $18 this afternoon.
EDIT: The thing saving the Switch version for me is that two players can each have a single Joycon and do multiplayer and I currently don't have a second PS4 controller...
Re: Rainway App Is Apparently Still In Development For Nintendo Switch
No Linux support (...yet. "More platforms will be available soon" according to the website).
Re: Get Up To 50% Off Top Nintendo Select Titles In North America Right Now
Maybe Donkey Kong Country Returns. I missed it the first few times around.
Re: Nintendo Download: 30th August (North America)
I think there might be enough indie games to do a Humble Bundle now (though they do book bundles and curate their store more than anything nowadays).
Re: Spewart Hat And Suit Added To Super Mario Odyssey
I might play Odyssey once a week or so, but definitely not enough to keep up with the new DLC.
Re: Nintendo Is Launching Brand New Starter Packs For Top Switch Games In North America
I'd much rather have a "Nintendo Selects" line for the Switch, but that probably won't come to the system for at least another year or so.
Re: Nintendo Airing Special Mobile Direct Broadcast For New Game Dragalia Lost
It kind of reminds me of the game Zenonia.
Re: Indie Classics Bastion And Transistor Are Both Bound For Nintendo Switch
I absolutely LOVE Bastion!

@FlimFlam @NEStalgia Thank you both!

I really appreciate all of these drawings that NintendoLife is offering.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (August 25th)
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Pokemon Go, and maybe Undertale.
Re: Nintendo Grabbed Every Top Ten Spot In Japanese Charts Last Week, Minecraft On Top
@ryancraddock Would you please clarify the sales numbers for the Xbox One? "Xbox One – 51 1(31)"?
Re: Japan Retailer Reveals Its Minecraft Sales On Switch Rapidly Outsold Wii U Version
Now I'm curious how these numbers compare to the PSVita version of Minecraft, which has played a huge role in the system's continued success in Japan.
Re: Rumour: Leak Signals Blizzard's Diablo 3 Will Unleash Hell On Switch This Year
Looks like we have to get a Pro Controller now (or an 8bitdo Pro).
Re: Undertale Collector's Edition Secures Western September Release On Switch
It's currently on sale at GOG for $5. I think I'll go with that.
Re: Nintendo Download: 9th August (North America)
The only thing that sticks out to me is Okami, but I don't think I'll quadruple drip (PS2, Wii, PS3...with a Platinum Trophy).

Re: All Five Of The New Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Fighters Will Receive amiibo Figures
A better investment than V-Bucks.

Cool!
Re: Niantic Hopes To Have Player vs Player Battles In Pokémon GO By The End Of The Year
You looked at me funny! Let's battle!
Re: Breath Of The Wild Has Been Added To The Zelda Series Timeline, But There's A Catch
I always considered it in the Adult Link timeline, because Zelda briefly mentions the hero in twlight in a flashback. All the same, it's fun to speculate.
Re: Nintendo Applies For Endless Ocean Trademark In Japan, Could This Wii Title Resurface From The Deep?
This is a Wii game I really enjoyed! I wouldn't mind seeing a comeback.
Re: Rumour: Free-To-Play Switch Games Won't Be Impacted By Paid Online Service
I can't speak for the Switch, but I know you can play Fortnite online on the PS4 without a PSN account.
