So, I'm supposed to be impressed that a game that came out in 2014 for both the PS3 and PS4 runs better when released and optimized for the Switch in 2019?

I'm guessing the game was setup to run well on the PS3 hardware, which came out in 2006.

I picked up Pokémon Sword for my daughter and Santa might get someone in this house Luigi's Mansion 3. That should be it.

As a legitimate question, what are the online features?

Picked up a few things that were on my eShop wish list.

Ori and the Blind Forest
The Adventure Pals
Flipping Death
Katana ZERO
SEGA AGES Virtua Racing
Hyper Light Drifter
The Messenger

Picked up a few things for the PS4 Pro as well, but I won't post those here.

Thanks for posting this 'article' and a link directly to the product.

Otherwise, I would have no idea about this product being available.

I'm not going to buy one as I don't need it, however.

@DockEllisD One thumb up for linking to the Canadian site!

@chardir Absolutely. Past precedent is important. If Epic knows of people violating their NDA and chooses to do nothing about it, then one can argue that the NDA is meaningless.

Professionals are typically held to an even higher standard than us regular folk. They, of all people, ought to know better. If the stakes are higher, then that's an even better reason to not do it.

Just finished off Link's Awakening on the Switch. I find it hard to believe that was originally a GameBoy Game. It really felt like a sequel to the original Legend of Zelda.

I've seen many students shed the same tears when they get caught cheating. It's actually quite sad to see as the rules and consequences are generally known.

It's a life lesson and I hope he is able to learn from it and move on. Growing up isn't always easy.

Sometimes I feel bad when I don't know celebrities. Sometimes.

The only experience I have with this franchise was on Nintendo Land on the Wii U. Maybe it's time to try another one!

I enjoyed the first one quite a bit and it looks like I'll enjoy this one.

Not too sure I can handle another point-and-click. I really couldn't get into Grim Fandango. But, I'm a big fan of Snipperclips. Hmm...

PS: I think the word "once" should be used in the second con rather than "one."

I certainly would like some Zelda related LEGO.

I think there was one LEGO Ideas submission that got to the 10,000 votes needed to be reviewed, but, obviously, it didn't become a set.

Seems like I'm not buying enough games as I only have five of these ones listed here and one of them I haven't even played!

@NintendoLife. "A game needs a minimum of fifty ratings to become eligible..." should be changed to thirty to reflect the actual items on this list.

@OorWullie Inside only has 18 user ratings on this site. In order to be considered for this list, a game needs at least 50 user ratings.

EDIT: actually, it seems the author of this page is incorrect. For example, Darkest Dungeon is on this list with only 37 ratings.

EDIT: it looks like the actual cutoff is 30 user ratings.

I really liked Octopath, Okami, Dead Cells, and Owl Boy. I just couldn't get into Celeste and I don't have any interested in Smash.

I'm not going to bother as I'm not really a fan of mobile gaming. Although I do indulge in an anagram puzzles on the phone, but that's totally different.

The bright light on the PS4 controllers would drive me nuts until I found some cool little stickers to cover it up. I'm sure this controller is not for me.

@Xelha I didn't care for the third one. It seemed like a step down graphics wise and playability from the second. one. It was a very irritating game and sometimes it felt a bit unfair. It was such a pain in the ass when you die and have to go quite a ways back to continue. I much preferred the Tomb Raider games. Maybe I'm just not that good at smashing buttons. I'm glad it was free game with PS+.

I think it's a great option for homes that only have one teevee but need a second Switch. This is particularly true in homes with children; hence the vibrant colours and the lower price point. I think Nintendo has a winner on its hands with this one.

@Tasuki It's often on for 70% off on the PlayStation Store.

Picross Lord Of The Nazarick
Ape Out
Blossom Tales: The Sleeping King
Uno

I have absolutely no idea what Overlord is, but I'll pick this up as I'm a bit of a Picross fanatic!

I'll see if something great is on sale. Maybe Ape Out. I loved the demo.

I'll likely pick up Wolfenstein: Youngblood on PS4 when it goes on sale.

I'm surprised there wasn't an option for "I have no idea."

@Friendly I was noticing that as well.

I can only make the four combinations in the upper left of the diagram above.

Fortunately for me, the colours really aren't that important.

Elevator Action.
Maybe some Minecraft with my daughter.
And, Blossom Tales.

Been playing this one for a bit. It's lot of fun. Yes, it has some obvious inspiration from Zelda, but it's a cute story with a fun twist with the narrator.

It would be nice to have a quick switch between items assigned to the B or X button.

I'm starting to think that people by Nintendo consoles to play Nintendo games. Weird.

That's pretty neat. I remember that I suck at any sort of speed run and that I'm really not very good at Mario games.

These numbers may underrepresent the online presence of players as there are some games that do not require a subscription to play online. A somewhat popular game called Fortnite comes to mind.

Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle

I used the stylus when I played Picross on the 3DS and I haven't missed it at all when playing Picross on the Switch. I've fully completed Picross S, Picross S2, and Kemono Friends.

"Do you feel inspired to create your own gaming accessories out of LEGO?"

No, but I do feel inspired to ask my daughter to make something similar.

The game is disgustingly cute.

I'll need to go and pickup my copy of Yoshi from the local games shop tomorrow. Fun.

I liked the demo quite a bit and I'm glad the game reviewed well.

I'm looking for a relaxing game and I think this will fit that bill nicely.

I remember a bit about this title when I played it on the Amiga. I don't think I'll bother revisiting that experience.

I ended playing these over the last couple of days.

Moonlighter
Desktop Soccer
Uno
SteamWorld Dig
SteamWorld Dig 2

If you like Uno, then I think you'll like this game. It's pretty straightforward. The online worked fine for me.

Nintendo is not a leader in this regard and I cannot see them removing physical media slot. Maybe they'll surprise me, but I doubt that.

I remember all the flak that Apple got when they first removed floppy drives and then CD drives from their desktop and notebook computers. But, Apple is certainly not the same as Nintendo.

If Nintendo did remove the media slot, then there is still a possibility of an external card reader.

Namco Museum
Moonlighter

Never played it. I can wait until the price is set before getting all excited.

Elevator Action for the win!

I have this on the PS4. It's a fun game. I like driving the VW Beetle.

I have played most of the Civilization games. I remember the first one back on the Amiga. Everything later has been on a Mac. I think I had the first Civilization Revolution on my iPod Touch.

I still play Civilization 3 occasionally. I tried to get into Civ 4 and 5, but I just haven't been into figuring out a new game. I'm undecided on Civilization 6 on the Switch.
