I was really hoping that the Batman Arkham Collection rumor might be true and it would have been in the direct. I would love to have the Arkham games on Switch.
Anything on the Pro Controller yet? I am in the USA and have been checking Gamestop, Best Buy and the Nintendo Store. The only one with a listing is Gamestop and it has been saying currently unavailable for days now, unless it went up and sold out. I called a couple of local stores and they think it is only going to be sold online and not in Gamestop stores.
I guess that rumor of the Batman Arkham Collection coming in August looks to be just that, a rumor. This close to release if it was coming it would have been the perfect game to show at a direct.
Actually I have had the same issue with the game freezing. When the last level in story mode tries to load the loading bar stops midway and the logo freezes. I also uninstalled and reinstalled it, as well as moved it to the internal system memory. I contacted Wales via their Facebook page and they had me email their support to be able to send me updates on this. If you are having it happen also, Thomas, then it might be more of a common problem than Wales thinks it is.
In Mario Golf there is a level from, at least seems to be inspired by, Yarn Yoshi so I am being hopeful. It was shown in screenshots. Also, with the low sales it would be nice if Nintendo extended the Deluxe Digital Promotion for the eshop.
Just a couple of months ago myself, I was plenty worried about the release schedule for retail games. Now, not so much. Here's a list of what I am getting for retail releases this year:
Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze Mario Kart 8 Bayonetta 2 Lego The Hobbit Sonic Boom The new Transformers Title Yarn Yoshi (fingers crossed) Hyrule Warriors (crossing different fingers)
This is besides what might be announced at E3. If just the eight manage to come out this year, factoring in eshop titles, that is MORE than enough gaming for me. Even if they show up in bunches I can still spread them out. On the other hand, I look at last fall as a negative time. According to my Wii U log, I put 32 hours in September, 46 in October, and 36 in November. But then I had played everything I had backlogged. There was nothing appealing to me in December or January and I was only on both months for an average of one hour, mostly for the browser while the rest of the family was on the PC. So far I haven't had anything to play this month, so DKTF is looking good to me.
I purchased my system on launch day and have never been unhappy with it, just disappointed at times. At this point, though, this year doesn't look dire overall just sparse at times.
