Some great games on offer. Probably gonna pick up a few now that I got a 256 GB micro SD card!

Spent my gold points on the Mario + Rabbids DK DLC Don't regret that, but these are also good games to get for "free".

@Sefu Looks like a quality product and a nice marketing campaign you got going Good luck!

Saw this getting some praise from the Nintendo Voice Cast crew as well. Gonna try it out when I get home from my vacation.

Going to finish Wolfenstein II these next few days. With motions controls this game is a joy in handheld mode while on vacation. And the cutscenes in this game has just gotten more and more enjoyable towards the end. Really hope the first game will release on the Switch as well!!

Since I've been primarily a Nintendo gamer the last 7 years, this situation of getting 30, 20 or even 10 games a week feels overwhelming. On the Wii U it was fairly easy to find the quality games on the e-shop and most games were also reviewed by NintendoLife and other good Nintendo gaming sources, including youtube channels. So now I will rely even more on these gaming sources to do an even better job at picking out which games are quality and maybe for me. Keep up the good work NintendoLife!

Wolfenstein II!

The article mentions most of the games I wanted to have on my SNES mini (after all the excellent games already on it) But I also installed Aladdin, Clay Fighters, Desert Strike, Lion King, Lost Vikings, Zombies ate my neighbours and a few more. The nostalgia is high this summer

After this I just want a weekly NL podcast! Make it happen!

Will most likely get Octopath, but it has to wait a few weeks before getting played. Gonna finish the games I planned to finish this summer first... its not easy to do with all the games coming out now!

After the last article about this I inspected my own Switch (bought on launch) and found the exact same cracks near the vent that the picture in this article shows :/ Didn't notice them before this and doesn't concern me that much, but it seems the back of my Switch is getting a bit loose close to the vent as well so I'll send an E-mail to Bergsala who handles Nintendo products in Norway and see what they say about these issues.

@smyr Looks decent and interesting. I'll wait for the reviews of the Switch version. If it holds up I'll give this a try

@HobbitGamer I see how the building aspect makes this game a bit unique and I feel one has to master it in order to get those Victory Royale. Twice been the second last one standing coming up against people who has built giant towers in the middle of the barren land in the middle of the last circles. Given me very little chance. But its a quite fun game anyway

Hmmm. Played Fortnite just a bit. Sucked. Now with gyro... hmmm... maybe I'll give it another go. Although the building crazyness sometimes is a bit much anyway!

Dear Panic Button, we need more AAA single player experiences on the go! Please choose something like that next time. Wolfenstein is superb and you guys are doing an awsome job with the Switch ports. Thank you for the experiences and I'm looking forward to the next game you will announce (in not too long I hope.)!

Played a few hours of this portably on a trip this weekend and it was an awsome experience to have a game like this on the go. Playing with motion controls also makes a huge difference!

On a trip this weekend and alternating between Wolfenstein II and the Donkey Kong DLC for Mario and Rabbids. Both are extremely good experiences to have on the go

Anything would be welcome. And please fill that black fall hole with a single player game!

Why didn't they end the Direct with this?? Well, guess this gives hope to more surprises...

I feel dissappointed, but still I mostly feel sorry for Nintendo themselves. As the fall right now looks quite empty for big releases and Smash being in december, long after they start charging for playing online, it feels like they lost a lot of their momentum. Pokemon GoGo might reel some people in, but for players who like single player games there isn't much to be hyped about. Fire Emblem looks good, but spring 2019 could mean 11 months from now :/ I'll be surprised if they hit their 20 million systems sold target during this fiscal year. Please have a September Direct with lots of big 3rd party support!!

@1UP_MARIO Just showed up here in Norway too now

@bluedogrulez It is tonight here!! Almost bedtime in Norway

@imgrowinglegs Thanks. Good to know. Guess Europe has to wait a bit for some reason then...

Nintendo is getting weirder and weirder today :/ Can't find the game in the e-shop? Not available in all regions right away? Anyone got it downloaded yet??

@Jack_Goetz Forgot about that game. CODENAME S.T.E.A.M. heavily teased a sequel in the ending, so have been waiting for that. But please, not on 3DS. I find it hard to go back to that system...

Smash Bros will be cool to see more of and we can hope for a small Metroid Prime 4 teaser, but I'm mostly crossing my fingers for some good 3rd party AAA game support. If Fallout Shelter is the only Fallout game on Switch after todays Direct, it's weird. There must be something going on between Nintendo and Bethesda. I haven't played a lot of the big games on other platforms, so if we could get ports of GTA V, The Witcher or the like, I'd be happy. Then I want to see Fire Emblem and get a release date (this fall). And I'm a bit curious about this Star Fox Grand Prix Just hours to go...

There must be some other Fallout announcement at the Nintendo Direct then, right?

Maybe...

But, will it be free-to-play on Switch? Will it have cross-platform play with other consoles? Gyro aiming (or will that kill cross-platform possibility?)? Some factors I think are important for this to be a success on the Switch. I hope this isn't the Switch online-subscription release and they push Smash back to November... Anyway, guess I'll finally try this game and it should be a great punchline for their E3 presentation, especially if it is available "right now"!

Already bought Runner 3 and Bloodstained. Two wonderful games for not too much money. And of course I'll try out the Mario Tennis Aces online tournament. And for those mildly interested in football, I can highly recommend FIFA18 for that price. The game is actually very good for a FIFA game on a Nintendo platform and I don't think the developers have gotten enough credit for making a solid Switch version. With the upcoming FREE DLC for the World Cup it's very good value for your money. I guess these discounts mean that we will get a new FIFA this fall as EA never discounted FIFA13 on the Wii U e-shop (that game is still $60!) and we never got any other FIFA after that...

Playing a bit of Runner 2 on the WiiU gamepad, as I don't bother to connect the WiiU to the TV, and warming up to Runner 3 releases next week. Really looking forward to playing a runner game on the Switch in handheld mode as the gamepad feels so like a plastic toy now in comparison! After having been on both team Raph and Donnie the last weekends, I'll choose Donnie again this weekend!

Well deserved. Hope it is still selling and make them set on a sequel. Maybe with a bit larger team they could have it done in 3-4 years! Owlboy is perfect to play in relatively short sessions in handheld mode and the pixel graphic looks very good on the big screen

Just WOW!

Now they know my income and definitely will start to charge me for reading the stuff I care about :/

Is it worth playing through Oxenfree for a second time if you didn't really like the game that much the first time?

Logging on FIFA18, selling my best FUT players to get some coins before the World Cup mode drops later this month. And I'll be on team Donnie for the Splatfest!

Just finished Xenoblade Chronicles 2 (what a game!) and I'll wait for the new story DLC before I go on with new game+. So this weekend I started a new RPG, Earthlock, Festival of Magic which I kickstarted (cause it's from a Norwegian developer I have faith in) and recently got my Switch code. Looks interesting so far... And then I'll join the Splatfest and try promote further in FIFA18 with my Ultimate team in online divisions.

I have played FIFA18 and especially FUT a lot on the Switch. A great game and FUT is an interesting concept. I never paid for any packs, but I can see why people is angry about the loot system. Feels quite unfair. Would have felt cheated if I spent extra money on it. It's quite smart of EA to give this World Cup mode for free and create new hype around the game and sell more packs... They did the same trick in 2014 I believe, not stand alone game as the article says.

Working my way up the World Tree in XC2 this weekend. Maybe a match or two in FIFA18 and Splatoon 2.

A great game I yet have to purchase again, but that I probably will when the right sale comes along...

This game is a very good fit for the Switch. The lenght of levels are perfect for short handheld sessions. The retro feel of the game works very well for me And with its low price (seems to already be discounted in Europe as well) this game is very good value for your money!

I'm on chapter 7 and having a very good time with this game. Played about 65 hours so far and doing some side quests now and then I don't feel the need to grind and have enjoyed most of my hours. Maybe the story is quite out there, but this is a Xenoblade game and in my opinion it is not far behind the first one!

Bought it on the WiiU, but didn't really get into it and play it very much :/ But this is maybe a game that I could buy again on the Switch and play portable. So, clap clap!!

First I'll be playing more XC2, then some Splatoon 2 and probably a bit of FIFA18 too!

Looks good If the file size isn't too large it should be a nice game to have available for a match now and then...

At chapter 5 in XC2. That game sure takes it time but it's quite enjoyable all the time And I'll try progress further in the online divisions of Ultimate team in FIFA18. Finally won Division 1 in single player this weekend!

@Knuckles @beazlen1 That wasn't on purpose! I'm not that clever... like those Diablo developers

How many times you ask? Bought it on 3DS, WiiU and Switch! And I can't wait for the King of Cards!

So waiting for this to release!!

Like on the 3DS, this game will be fun for short play sessions and are a good alternative as long as an original Trails game doesn't come to the Switch soon. I'll buy it
