The big question is when will it come out on PC? And what about coop and/or multiplayer support????

I'm actually kinda excited for this since they included all the original 1984 levels. That's kickass, I wish more developers would do that when they reboot a title like this.

Now I just need someone to reboot M.U.L.E. to the switch.

@Yosher Me too, it originally came out on the Atari 400/800. Was actually a pretty great game back in the day.

This is the basically the 'pro model'.

Nintendo would never create hardware that splinters their well oiled money making hardware (Switch or any future consoles for that matter). Doing so would be counterproductive to their overall mission of generating huge amounts of cash, and producing 'good enough' hardware to keep their fans happy. They've never been, or rather, not for a very long time, about pushing the most pixels, highest rez, best graphics, etc etc. That's not their thing.

Nintendo is after one thing with this new hardware - attracting people that do not already own a Switch to buy one. That's it.

Sorry they really don't care about power users, or any of that stuff, that's why the always choose 'sensible' hardware and price their stuff in a way that everyone can buy it. I also think this is why they create the absolute best, most fun gaming expereinces - they're not focused on eye-candy, they're focus is on game design.

Beyond all that they are happy if some current Switch owners upgrade this new Switch, that's just bonus cash for them.

That all said, I'd buy one in a heardbeat if I didn't already owe one, but maybe my wife needs my old one lol.

No Crazy Climber????

None of these were grabbing me either then I watched the Death Trash video… wow 100% on that one def snagging

Not Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance on switch... no idea why... was suppose to come on Friday... did on PS4... so yeah that's what I'll be playing (Goddamn PS4 version). Stupid.

Oh, thx for the update (https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2021/05/iconic_action-rpg_baldurs_gate_dark_alliance_isnt_out_today_on_nintendo_switch_after_all) ... at least I know I'm not crazy (not finding it). I guess I'll end up owning it on both systems... such is the way of nostalgia I suppose.

Link to the e-shop goes to a generic page and searching for doesn't find the game.... was it delayed?

Seems like they've updated this a couple of times since release, maybe worth a follow-up review? Game is quite awesome on PC, hopefully they short out the Switch issues, dying to snag.

@edgedino How does this not include that game? I still play it on my PS3 and Xbox360, great coop fun.

Not seeing the Dark Souls part in the trailer but color me intrigued either way!

I wish it was DS's combat they were lifting but it doesn't look like that's got much to it.

It's pretty good. Probably not quite as good as that PS3/Xbox360 version we all know and love. At 29 bucks it's a worthwhile grab though either way. Controls feel a little wonky to me but maybe that's how it's always been. Also, some of its whimsy/charm seems more forced or intentional in this version.

@Woosh193 Other reviews have mentioned there are problems with the sound dropping out. Neversoft is the issue and I expect they'll patch it at some point soon.

I own this game on PC (sucks balls), Xbox360, PS3, and PS4. I will most definitely be buying this when I get home tonight along with a stop at GameStop for the Amiibo... while this might be the second weakest version (at least right now - they'll improve it with updates) the ability to play this on long flights to China with my girl is the reason this might be the best version, period. I can live with glitchy sound and running at 30fps... the Kotaku review suggests the lack of faster/smoother frame rate makes the game feel more like the original PS3 version... so yeah it's a feature not a bug!

Plus, it'll be nice to get invaded again and/or summon people... I played through it on PS3 recently on my Game+++++ character and it was a lonely of a journey with no help or even a random, fun invader or two along the way.

@Retupmocnin Neat. Why don't you go play Skyrim some more and leave Souls to us that enjoy it.

Thanks man, appreciate it !

Also I will try not to invade you... haha.

Wait, what??? How can I participate, where can I download Dark Souls to help test?

Best. Game. Ever.

Oh hell yeah the dream of playing all of Dark Souls on a portable is happening!!!

This is awesome, I can finally play Dark Souls on a portable device. This'll make those long flights to Asia much more tolerable. Praise the Sun indeed !
