Day one purchase. Been holding out on this waiting for a switch version. Just need Hyper Light Drifter, Undertale and Disney Afternoon Collection to make their way to the Switch.

@JaxonH Prime 4. As in Metroid Prime 4. Not Pikimin Prime 4... And yeah this article is meant for fan boys. Its not practical for them to think Nintendo would release a major release like Smash outside of the major holiday window. You're best off waiting until E3. Until then don't get your panties in a bunch

Absolutely ZERO chance we see Prime 4 or Smash. Clearly a delusional fan boy article than an article that comes from a place of practical thinking

Boy were you guys wrong on this article...

I thought you guys said "Vs Super Mario Bros." was coming out on switch this week?

@Ralek85 As far as I can tell yes. I noticed a huge difference. Haven't experienced problems since. I also enjoyed the hell out of the game even when there were major issues (such as the catapult never firing after you built it haha).

This game is great. It was poorly reviewed on this site because it didn't hold the reviewers hand enough. Look at reviews elsewhere. They have also patched all of the performance issues and most importantly - updated with a new lovely icon for the home screen.

This is missing the Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth+

NL editors are historically terrible at videogames. I'll wait to see more reviews as the only negative seems to be that the game didn't hold his hand.

Nioh - PS4

Buying this day 1 for sure. Can't wait!

The game is great, but loading times are really slow (iphone7) and I get a lot disconnection issues as well

Chrono Trigger PALEASE!

PES would be amazing on the switch. A hell of a lot more realistic than FIFA.

Dark Souls Trilogy Collection and a remastered Demon Souls would be unrealistic but incredible

FZero. Could you imagine the awesome chaos of 30+ online player races!?

Stardew Valley officially announced to come out October 5th for $14.99

News from 5 days ago. Glad you guys could catch up

Maybe have someone good at sports games or actually interested in it review the game in the future.. just a thought.

@SuperCharlie78 Well every more reason NL should consider doing away with review scores. They traditionally over score Nintendo games and are generally inconsistent with the rest. Just don't think their review scores are worth a damn - nor do I get the impression many people working on the site are any good at games. Same goes for Polygon..

Nintendo Life editors aren't very skilled at video games. Any game with a steep difficulty and its bound to get a poor review on this site due to their frustration that it's not holding their hand.

How ironic that Nintendo Switch fans - fans of a console that doesn't sell itself on next gen graphics, would criticize one of the better looking pixel art games on the system. Did you ignorant weeeeeeeeeeners say the same thing about shovel knight, axiom verge, etc when they came out?
@macaron75 @SLIGEACH_EIRE @cunit @MariOnline @Mando44646 Based on your ignorance I suppose Disney Afternoon Collection, Undertale, Hyper Light Drifter, etc should just skip our system since we're "too good for them"???

Hyper Light Drifter, Darkest Dungeon, Undertale or Disney Afternoon surprise announcement would make my day.

This game is actually incredibly deep. It just takes a large time investment to unlock the characters and late game challenge.

Cinema/film is actually 24fps. So to say "cinematic 30fps" doesn't make sense. Just so you know for the future. Cheers

Badly missing Hyper Light Drifter, Darkest Dungeon, and Undertale

I have a hard time understanding these games. Granted I've never played one, but it looks about as challenging as the street fighter stage where you punch a car until it falls apart.

Please let this be a sign the Switch is getting Hyper Light Drifter!!!

Illustrations look great. The animation however looks uninspired.

Day 1 buy.

Now I just hope we get versions/ports of these games:

Darkest Dungeon
Hyper Light Drifter
Undertale
Disney Afternoon Collection
Mother 3

No Chrono Trigger is sad

Cinematic trailer sure, but it looks too good to come to switch..

Just like Splatoon won me over back in the day with the test fire this is winning me over on ARMS. Typically Nintendo this is a very polished fun game

Remember when we were all excited that Nintendo was now going to focus software development on one system. Then we get this and a bunch of kirby games on 3DS

So much for them being super selective about what comes on the eshop to start

From a business perspective it makes more sense for Nintendo to release this game in early 2018. Mario will dominate the holidays and an early 2018 release would help spread out their big releases.

Did they accidently turn off the animation of the people in the crowd?

The stage looks cool. I just wish it was outside. Prefer the graphical detail in the outdoor stages vs the indoor.

@DESS-M-8 "The hardware is the single greatest dedicated video game console ever made. Period."

wow..

@ElekidDude I suppose the overall point I'm trying to make is that by design it's a much better console system than a handheld system. I found that to be a bit of a disappointment.

@ElekidDude Putting the headphone jack on the bottom would ruin tabletop mode (if you plan on using headphones while in tabletop mode). The issue for me is I'll be playing it handheld far more than I will in tabletop mode - not sure I'll ever play it in tabletop mode.

And I bought the system looking for it to primarily be a handheld system - not a console. Splatoon's motion controls (my preferred way of play) simply don't work in handheld mode. Tilting the screen towards and away from your view makes it much harder to follow the action.

@Cosats Cool dude...

@premko1 In what way?

There's just a lot of product design issues with the system. It doesn't feel or play great in handheld mode. Compared to the N3DS it just doesn't feel as good.

The headphone jack being on the top of the system is a huge annoyance. Having the cord stick straight up out of the system and drap over the back gets in the way of your hands/playing games.

The complete lack of a headphone jack in the pro controller is a big annoyance.

Splatoon 2 also proved Nintendo still has some figuring out to do in terms of controls for future games.

I would like the map button better if the map had transparency so you could see the action behind it. I also don't like having to click X to pull it up and then X again to take it away. Would be much quicker to have the map show up only when X is in the downward state and as soon as you let go it disappears. This would allow for quick glances at the map without having to perform more than one action.

Also, playing the game handheld with motion controls (my preferred way to play) flat out doesn't work. You can't be constantly tilting the screen you're trying to focus on.

Loved the motion controls of the first game but they just don't work well when playing the switch hand held. Tilting ruins view especially when making quick movements.

The map view set to X needs refinement. Should be slightly transparent so you can still see some of the action behind. I'd prefer that the map shows up only when X is held down - the moment you release/stop pressing down removes map view. That way you're not having to make an extra button command just to get back to the action.

Wish they had built online multiplayer into Tank Troopers. Since they didn't, I won't be buying either game.

So is this game no longer about getting back his pet frog?

Does this game have a mini map to show where all racers are on the track?

It really bothered me that the WiiU version didn't.

I waited in line at the NYC store. I got there at 6:40pm and finally got my system at 5:04am.

The store was terribly organized and unprepared. People were allowed to browse the entire store and try on clothes. I even saw some people buying beach towels!

Meanwhile the rest of us were waiting outside in freezing temperatures battling sleep deprivation. The entire experience could have been expedited had consumers not been allowed to wander the store and take their time.

Employees at the store were supposed to close and get off at 4am but were asked to stay well past to ensure everyone who had a wrist band got their system. I feel bad the employees were forced to do this by a management team that could have ensured the entire process had gone much more smoothly and quicker from the start.

I might do a midnight launch again, but definitely not at the Nintendo NY store.
