I thought the length of the game was perfect! Any longer I would have gotten bored. Cheap and bite sized, and really excellent. It's my favourite Renegade Kid game by a good margin.
I found this deeply disappointing. It looks cool but got really repetitive really fast. Obviously some people love it, but my excitement based on first impressions, and the epic title screen, waned fast.
I wanted to like this so much, but in the end only liked it a bit, mainly because i found the physics pretty floaty and unsatisfying, kind of a killer for this game.
I've been dithering on getting Doom since its release. Its not my kind of thing, but it looks great. So glad I waited now, I'll play it for sure on Switch.
Most interesting thing in there for me is seeing that Andromeda is the 7th highest earner this year to date. I've not played it but obviously heard the fan response and assumed it had not done very well, since the series is now on ice.
My least favorite thing about the Switch: using the dark theme does not carry through to the eShop. Going from a late night game session to checking the shop is an unpleasantly dazzling experience.
The Switch is a fantastic console. I was always sort of interested in this, but never took the plunge since I wasn't sure when I would find time for it. On Switch it will totally be worth my while.
@ThomasBW84 that's fantastic news! I read so much about this game and never heard that. I love 16bit, but when it's all pixelated it just doesn't look right to my aging eyes.
So I love this style of gameplay, but I'm getting bored of the procedurally generated aspect that a lot of these games are now using. I don't want to play for endless hours of similar but variable levels. I want a tightly designed experience I can get through in a reasonable period.
I mainly wish that the eShop would take on you home theme. It sucks to check the store late at night and go from dark themed home screen to dazzling, blinding eShop.

Re: Feature: What We Want From Nintendo In 2018
The eShop may need improvements, but it's hardly a mess. The PlayStation Store is a MESS. It's so slow it's barely functional.
Re: Review: TINY METAL (Switch eShop)
Man , that sounded so good til you got to 15 to 20 hours (for skilled players!) That's too long for me.
Re: Poll: Surprise! A New Zelda Is In Development, But What Do You Want From It?
Skyward sword hd.
And then a BotW with all the great classic stuff like diving, temples, narrative etc woven into it
Re: Pulstar Is Your Next Neo Geo ACA Release On Switch
Fantastic! I've been waiting for this
Re: Enter The Gungeon Arrives on the Switch eShop Very Soon
I found this deeply disappointing. It looks cool but got really repetitive really fast. Obviously some people love it, but my excitement based on first impressions, and the epic title screen, waned fast.
Re: Review: Dead Synchronicity: Tomorrow Comes Today (Switch eShop)
I dunno, a narrative focussed experience with a disappointing and unsatisfying conclusion doesn't sound worth it to me.
Re: Review: Teslagrad (Switch eShop)
I wanted to like this so much, but in the end only liked it a bit, mainly because i found the physics pretty floaty and unsatisfying, kind of a killer for this game.
Re: Review: Batman - The Telltale Series (Switch)
Played the first on PS4 and really liked it, but it is the buggiest, glitchiest game I have ever played.
Re: Wii U's Failure Is Responsible For Switch's Success, Says Reggie
@GC-161 I look forward to them!
Re: Review: DOOM (Switch)
@Alikan thanks for the heads up. I’d not realized it was that often. I was tempted buy this, but that does not sound like something I’ll get into.
Re: Deals: Upcoming Nintendo Switch Games And Accessories For November And December
There's at least 5 games here that I'm interested in, but being sandwiched between Mario and Xenoblade seems like suicide to me.
Re: Feature: The Biggest Nintendo Switch eShop Games of 2017 - Fall / Winter Edition
I would love the internet to become hemisphere agnostic.
Its getting hotter by the day here
Re: DOOM Provides a 'Good Reference Point' to What Wolfenstein II Will Offer on Switch
I've been dithering on getting Doom since its release. Its not my kind of thing, but it looks great. So glad I waited now, I'll play it for sure on Switch.
Re: Reminder: Arcade Archives Mario Bros. is Out Today
Dat price!
Re: Shinji Mikami Thinks A Switch Version Of The Evil Within 2 Would Be "Interesting"
Its amazing what I would buy on Switch - I'm sort of half interested in this on PS4, but I'd snap it up on Switch.
Re: First Impressions: Hell in a Handbasket - DOOM on Nintendo Switch
no motion/ pointer controls may be a deal breaker for me. I was hoping Switch would mean the return of the Wii style FPS.
Re: Review: Sine Mora EX (Switch)
I played it on Vita and thought it was fine, if unexciting. And unexciting is not what I look for in a 'shmup.
But even if I had loved it, the price of this release seems a little ridiculous to me
Re: Nintendo Has a Few Titles in NPD’s Top-Selling Games List
Most interesting thing in there for me is seeing that Andromeda is the 7th highest earner this year to date. I've not played it but obviously heard the fan response and assumed it had not done very well, since the series is now on ice.
Re: Feature: What We Expect from the Nintendo Direct - 13th September
Well I guess I'll see what happens when I wake up tomorrow. What happened to planning these things at a sensible time for all major regions?
Re: First Impressions: Defying Gravity in Skyrim for Nintendo Switch
"no matter how silly we felt doing it in a room full of video game professionals"
My goodness. Imagine if it had been a room full of bankers!
Re: Oh Yes, Resident Evil Revelations Will Have Joy-Con Pointing and Waggling on Switch
Why the negativity? This is fantastic news! I hope this is the beginning of many shooters on Switch that opt for pointer controls.
Re: Resident Evil Revelations 1 & 2 Are Bringing the Horror to Switch on 28th November
Go back and pick up on revelations 2! It's fantastic!
Re: Feature: The Switch Report - Six Months of Nintendo's Hybrid System
My least favorite thing about the Switch: using the dark theme does not carry through to the eShop. Going from a late night game session to checking the shop is an unpleasantly dazzling experience.
So simple to fix.
Re: Review: Zed Blade (Switch eShop / Neo Geo)
interesting. I've never bothered to go beyond level 2 in Zed Blade. I just never liked it at all. But maybe I must press on and see how it goes later.
Also, somehow I did not know about a vertically scrolling Macross. I must check that out!
Re: Review: Azure Striker Gunvolt: Striker Pack (Switch)
That price is way too high. A long way
Re: SteamWorld Dig 2 Arrives on 21st September, Image & Form Confirms Pricing
What I loved about the first one was that it was so short and cheap
It's just a great little game you can play in one sitting.
Re: Nicalis Confirms Game Boy-Style Platformer Save me Mr Tako: Tasukete Tako-San For Nintendo Switch
As a grumpy old man I'm not convinced a 23 year old knows much about partying like it's '89.
But the game does look quite nice.
Re: Secret Of Mana Is Getting A 3D Remake, But Guess What Console It's Not Coming To
I'm fine with that- It looks terrible!
Re: Zed Blade Brings Shmup Action to the Switch eShop Next Week
Personally I've always thought Zedblade is a bit horrid. I'd avoid this one.
Re: Video: Get Hyped For Metroid: Samus Returns With This Overview Trailer
I look forward to getting all of the unlockable art from the internet.
Re: Sonic Forces Hits Japan On December 9th
I hope this doesn't kill the momentum of Sonic Mania!
I was a big fan of Colours and Lost World, but this one is not looking so hot.
Re: Telltale Games Says We Can Expect Guardians of the Galaxy and Batman on Switch
I wish more companies were direct about this. Now I know to wait. I don' t mind waiting.
Re: Review: forma.8 (Switch eShop)
The Switch is a fantastic console. I was always sort of interested in this, but never took the plunge since I wasn't sure when I would find time for it. On Switch it will totally be worth my while.
Now if only I'd not bought Axiom Verge on Wii U
Re: Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle Is Getting a Season Pass
No thanks. I guess I'll just wait on this then.
Re: Square Enix's Hajime Tabata Hints That Final Fantasy XV Could Be Coming To Switch
@MarcelRguez Now I have to replay Fusion! thanks
Re: Hardware Review: Hori's Switch Horipad Is The Controller You Never Knew You Needed
The Mega Drive D pad is still my favourite for this reason.
Re: Square Enix's Hajime Tabata Hints That Final Fantasy XV Could Be Coming To Switch
@MarcelRguez totally off topic: where is your avatar from, I'm fascinated!
Re: Soapbox: Seriously Nintendo, It's Time For A Switch Joy-Con With A Proper D-Pad
As an option for some that's a fine idea, but honestly the D-buttons work just great for me so far. Way better than my 3DS XL D pad to tell the truth.
Re: Feature: Basking in Nostalgia and '16-Bit' Goodness in Sonic Mania
@ThomasBW84 that's fantastic news! I read so much about this game and never heard that. I love 16bit, but when it's all pixelated it just doesn't look right to my aging eyes.
Re: Feature: Basking in Nostalgia and '16-Bit' Goodness in Sonic Mania
I just wish there were scanline or CRT filters. Sonic was never blocky!
Re: Gamevice Launches Patent Case Against the Nintendo Switch and Joy-Con Concept
What a time to be a patent lawyer!
Re: Review: Ironcast (Switch eShop)
I suspect this might not sell well in France.
Re: The Next Wave Of ACA Neo Geo Titles For Switch Is Confirmed
Well that's some of my least favorite Neo Geo games
Re: NeuroVoider to Blast Its Way Onto the Switch eShop on 7th September
So I love this style of gameplay, but I'm getting bored of the procedurally generated aspect that a lot of these games are now using. I don't want to play for endless hours of similar but variable levels. I want a tightly designed experience I can get through in a reasonable period.
Re: NES30 Arcade Stick For Nintendo Switch Pre-Orders Open Now, Ships Later This Month
That is very pretty.
Re: Nintendo UK Has Reopened Pre-Orders For Metroid: Samus Returns Legacy Edition
@Paperboy Absolutely!
Re: Nintendo UK Has Reopened Pre-Orders For Metroid: Samus Returns Legacy Edition
I would love to get this, but I think its way too expensive for what it is. Rather use the money to buy another game honestly.
Re: Editorial: The Switch eShop Library is Starting to Look Like the Real Deal
I mainly wish that the eShop would take on you home theme. It sucks to check the store late at night and go from dark themed home screen to dazzling, blinding eShop.
Re: Hex Gambit Confirmed for Switch After Passing Kickstarter Goal
Reached Kickstarter goal. Confirmed? Do people still think those are the same thing?
