It looks like it'll be very tough to see depth in this game, partly due to the artstyle and scale. The artstyle is rather charming otherwise.

100% thought they were playing Gangsta's Paradise for laughs at the start. They were not.

Bayonetta 2 and Smash Ultimate for me. Picked up Majora's Mask, Fire Emblem Awakening and Okami as well, but trying to beat some games before starting those.

Oddly enough, the 3DS deals are pretty good! Fire Emblem Awakening is still 40 Euro here new in store, and 30+ Euro secondhand. So I'll probably pick it up for 30 digital. Same story with Majora's Mask.

Does anyone know if Child of Light has had its framerate fixed? It's not listed as part of the deal but it's 50% off and I remember loving that game.

Also, if you haven't played Rayman Legends yet, you owe it to yourself. 15 Euros is a good deal on the second-best platformer on the Switch (Tropical Freeze is #1 obviously).

Does anyone know if they ever released an update for this game, fixing the framerate issues? There's very little info out there on this game on Switch apart from all the reviews calling out the framerate issues.

I've bought about 50 games on Switch (25 are on NL's list). My top 10:

1. Breath of the Wild - obv
2. Hollow Knight - might be better than Super Metroid
3. Thumper - insanely intense rhythm violence
4. DKC Tropical Freeze - might be the best 2D platformer ever
5. Super Mario Odyssey - almost as good as Galaxy 2
6. Hyper Light Drifter - so badass
7. Furi - just my kind of game
8. Night in the Woods - best written game I've ever played, and hilarious
9. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate - obv
10. Overcooked 2 - such a good time playing this with the gf

Honourable mentions to Rayman Legends, Mario Kart 8, Captain Toad, Guacamelee 2 en Celeste. I could go on and on: the Switch is such a fantastic platform. I recently even found out that the wishlist caps at 200; now I can't add any more games.

EDIT: I just noticed the list is incorrect. Night In The Woods has an 8.2; way higher than the 7.6 userscore of Pokken.

EDIT2: Oh you only count games that are rated 50+ times. That's lame, kinda makes it a "most popular games" list rather than best-rated list.

As many people have noted, 2019 is definitely the prophesied year of the ninja.

Looks charming as hell! That being said, Nicalis' pricing means I won't try it out just because, only if it gets stellar reviews and a price drop. It's a weird publisher approach given how well games like Stardew Valley and Hollow Knight are selling.

"BTW don't expect Gunman Clive-like pricing. I'm actually paying salaries and stuff now and this kind of bosses require a ton of work. As some sites have already reported I'm aiming at a $11.99 price point"

EDIT: Someone beat me to it

They already have me sold, but if they manage to add in co-op/multiplayer, like having both Mario and Luigi on the boxart suggests... that would be insane.

@mazzel @electrolite77 @Friendly @gortsi you know there's an ignore button, right?

Captain Toad and Guacamelee 2 for me.

I highly recommend Use Your Words and Crypt of the Necrodancer for those insanely low prices.

Survival Mode sounds awesome! Really glad the developers are listening and adding some new modes.

Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime is a highly recommended co-op game to those that don't have it yet.

Personally, I'm a lil' interested in Pool Party but otherwise most of these games aren't too high on my wishlist.

Would love a port of SSX Tricky or 3 but would probably be difficult due to music licensing. SSX on PS3 seriously sucked (wasn't any fun), so I'd love it if they did another shot at it and made it... fun.

Hollow Knight, Furi and Night in the Woods. Played a ton of games from 2017, though. Smash, Overcooked and Aces for multiplayer games.

Not a huge fan of the categories. Wonder how much % even played 3 3DS games this year that they think are worth "game of the year".

I recommend Thumper for €8, it's my #3 favourite game on Switch (after BotW and Hollow Knight). I'm considering picking up Mario + Rabbids for €20.

EDIT: Also Furi is well worth €10 if you like a challenge.

Sounds like it has some great gameplay mechanics. But man, the animation and physics look rough.

1. Amaterasu - The most unique, would have hilarious taunts
2. Joe - Cool mechanics
3. Wonder Red - haven't played 101 yet (sorry)
4. Dante - too many anime boys, too many swordfighters, too much like Bayo

@janpampoen How do you feel about shmup?

Absolutely love No More Heroes, but like almost everyone else I'm extremely cautious about what we've seen of Travis Strikes Back so far.

Does anyone know if the game lets you keep the pokemon you've caught as a second player through co-op? So let's say I'm the second player, catch a bunch of pokemon and quit the game. Then I join back in at some later point, will the pokemon still be there?

How's co-op? Does the second player get to play through the game and keep all the pokemon they've caught?

Highly recommended! I can't wait for Child of Light 2

This DLC is a lot tougher than the main game, but I'm having an absolute blast. Still hoping for that endless mode with all recipes mixed, though.

It's an alright addition, but I'd much rather have an "endless" or "chill" mode with all the different recipes mixed. Now that would really keep me coming back for more Overcooked.

If you have friends over for local multiplayer, this game is an absolute blast.

It's a bit short on content, so I'm happy they're going to keep updating it for the first year. It kinda seemed like there's some new single player content too based on that trailer?

Undertale for now, probably Bastion when it's discounted.

I'm playing through Furi now and it's fantastic, highly recommended if you like the No More Heroes boss battles, Bayonetta or bullet-hells.

This looks fantastic, I'm 99% sold on it already

Hard pass.

@DTFaux Lest we forget: Hollow Knight.

Endless mode please something relaxing with lots of recipes so I don't have to yell at my girlfriend to chop faster

Ah yes, that sweet summer month of October

I'll pick it up when they've patched it.

Crypt of the Necrodancer (60% off) and maybe Danmaku Unlimited 3 or Floor Kids for me.

I find it very hard to believe the constant rebooting doesn't get grating after, like, 10 deaths.

Child of Light's definitely one of the best RPG's I've ever played. Highly recommended to everyone. Not sure if I'll pick it up a second time but I'm hoping that Child of Light II document is a tease rather than a troll.

How are the motion controls? I figured I'll probably mostly play it in handheld mode given that Okamiden's touch controls were fantastic.

I'm seeing framerate issues pop up on various sites and threads, bit weird that this isn't covered in the review especially given how unforgiving the game is. Apparently the developers have commented they'll only patch the game if enough people complain? Odd.

As for the IGN debacle, they handled it well, let's not celebrate that someone lost their job, though.

@krvstkvlt First Overcooked doesn't have online, I wouldn't get it for single player personally. This one does have online, but there's no voicechat on Switch.

How's the framerate, does it hold up? I heard some rumours about it not hitting 60 fps when things are busy but I figured that was BS?

Looks like a more annoying version of Ibb & Obb

Some of the moving kitchens in Overcooked 1 were a lot of fun, because you got to move them yourself for example (space levels). The ones that were worst were the ones that changed without giving any indication they were going to, and then completely ruin your chances to get a 3-star rating.

I did beat the original game all the way but I felt like some poor levels, the harsh star requirements and the occasionally inaccurate controls (which thankfully has been fixed in 2) soured what would otherwise be a 10/10.

Good, not great.

Played a couple of levels this morning, it looks like they made some solid improvements.

What I didn't see right away but I was really hoping they'd add is an endless mode or something that lets you do a ton of different recipes (focusing on cooking and cooperation rather than level obstacles).

Hollow Knight! I'm at the final boss (I think?) but there's plenty of stuff to do, still.

Highly recommend everyone to download the Yoku's Island Expres demo!

Gotto agree with @Damo that art style really isn't working for it. Feels so early 2000's edgy with cheap DeviantArt character design and poor animation to boot. Since the Switch has an insane library and I've got a 70+ games wishlist, it's a pass from me.

Iconoclasts for now. Maybe Guns, Gore & Cannoli 2 later on.

People calling games they don't know shovelware is pretty damn annoying.

Yeah, definitely picking this up

I also highly recommend the game, it's such a nice mix of exploration and arcade-y gameplay.
