Probably being greedy but really really want Namco to re release point blank. Loved that game - bought my first playstation and two light guns just fir that. Dunno why wasnt on Wii given they did a ds version. Light gun games seem sadly out if fashion...
Sounds good, would appreciate a demo or maybe a weekend go for Online subscribers like they did with arms, tennis and fire emblem warriors - I'd like to be able to check out controls before taking the plunge!
Thanks for this. I loved beat em ups as a kid (target: renegade and double dragon being particular faces) and really want to share this genre with my son but worry he's a bit young at 6.
Remember team 17 feeling a big deal in my Amiga days before Worms took off and understandably there was a big focus on that franchise. Had great fun with Alien Breed!
Didn't buy anything this month as trying to clear backlog before Crossing consumes me. Would be interested in Double Dragon if it had the arcade version...
(Probably selfishly) I'm not too fussed about any of this as I think we'll get a Direct around then, am not too bothered about other companies, and don't really watch all the treehouse stuff.
Sounds good. I have a dock which keeps my switch charged as I play it (basic dock covers the screen so I need the telly) and I love it for long plays when I can't get access to the TV.
Really looking forward to this. Most curious at moment about multiplayer - wish it was splitscreen. Not sure my kids will share one screen as nicely as they do in the trailers!
I quite like the f2p model - gives me a chance to try the game out first and is entirely up to me whether i spend and cash on it (have got hours if fun for £0 from Kirby, Go, Asphalt etc)
@Rodan2000 slower turn based games are ok and I have an adapter to put the joycon back to back to play Wario kart etc. Not as good as I was and fast paced fps's etc no chance!
I've always called my village Blocco after Bloxwich the centre if the universe
My daughter wanted it to be called Crystal Falls which still won't fit so that's one debate avoided!
Used to love twin stick shooters (especially the superb Enter the Gungeon) but since I lost all use of my left hand these types of games are sadly beyond me.
Loved the arcade double dragon. Remember spending hours and a fiver at 10p a time on the arcade in Rhyl. Shame that version doesn't seem to include that.
If I can wrestle the Switch from my wife (she loved Theme Hospital so is well into Two point hospital!) I'll continue with Asphalt and try to finish Heist
Really interested in multiplayer - no splitscreen looks challenging. Split screen like in Lego would be nice but what I've seen suggests you all have to behave to and stay very close together.
Any of these require minimal use of the left stick? Sounds fantastic but as I have no use in my left hand twin stick games are beyond me so even with an adapted controller I'm stuck with right stick only so don't think I can play these.
Really appreciate unique features like this that take a different look at games - thanks! Few games in here I hadn't heard of and will definitely check out. Sure animal crossing will be added shortly!
Any improvement always welcomed and glad lots of people chuffed about this. However with my rubbish eyes I must confess I can't see much difference between the examples (I still struggle to distinguish 30 and 60 fps!)
Pleased this seems to be sorted but baffled by all of the seemingly unnecessary grief Ninth brought on themselves over this. Seems a lot just to potentially stop item duplication in a game where it gives no real competitive advantage (unlike e.g. Pokemon which also unhappy with but understand a bit more.) Will now out my pre-order in.

Re: Nintendo Reveals The Top 15 Most-Downloaded Switch Games In February 2020 (Europe)
If Wario kart slipping off the list increases the chance of dlc or an "ultimate" style game for eg Xmas then fine by me!

Excellent. Enjoyed peggle and would like to see more pop-cap style games on Switch.
Re: Feature: Nintendo Life eShop Selects - February 2020

If I can get my wife away from two point hospital I'll try to finish West of Loathing this weekend and complete my Sheild Pokedex.
Re: The Company Responsible For E3 2020's Creative Direction Just Resigned

Re: Hands On: The Dongii Is A Switch Dock That Fits In Your Pocket, And We Love It
Sounds good. I have a dock which keeps my switch charged as I play it (basic dock covers the screen so I need the telly) and I love it for long plays when I can't get access to the TV.
Re: Poll: Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Is Out Today On Switch, Are You Getting It?

Re: Tiny Font Won't Be A Problem When The Outer Worlds Arrives On Nintendo Switch

Waiting for a bigger to discount on resi 5 before I double dip.

Re: Twin-Stick Shooter HyperParasite Blasts Onto Switch Next Month With Early Bird Discounts
@Rodan2000 slower turn based games are ok and I have an adapter to put the joycon back to back to play Wario kart etc.
Not as good as I was and fast paced fps's etc no chance!

Re: UK Charts: Two Point Hospital Grabs Second Spot, And It Sold Best On Switch

Re: Fresh Gameplay Details For Animal Crossing: New Horizon Emerge From PAX East 2020
Really interested in multiplayer - no splitscreen looks challenging. Split screen like in Lego would be nice but what I've seen suggests you all have to behave to and stay very close together.

May well look into Mathland for the kids.

Replaying and enjoying Heist but not too familiar with the other games.
