@Syntaxkita at least with NBA Playgrounds the devs owned up to their lackluster debut, fixed everything, gave a public apology and then promised all the early Switch adopters free copies of their next game. Methinks Big Ben won't be going to the same lengths to fix their public image...
Someone willing to help me out? Drawful 2 is already included in Jack Box Party Pack 2, why release the game as a standalone when it's already been on the system for a year at what's likely better value (unless its <$5 for the standalone, at which point I can't imagine it being worthwhile anyway)
Going to attempt to finish Outlast 2 this weekend. I say attempt because for whatever reason, the intimacy of playing in handheld rachets up the immersion tenfold for me, so the game is absolutely terrifying when not on the big screen. Visiting my folks for the weekend, so playing on the TV isn't an option
My biggest gripe is that it took too long to come out. If the service had launched alongside Splatoon instead of Smash 5, I wouldn't feel slighted. Mario Kart and ARMS definitely both have online components, but Splatoon's definitely Nintendo's most online centric game. Playing it for a year and then getting slapped with a paywall shortly after a major paid expansion comes out is a slap in the face
"Finally" taken off the top spot. It was there for literally one week, ain't nothing magical about slipping to 4th week 2, especially when a hype new game debuts that week (Japan loves their baseball)
As to everyone saying that Nintendo would never allow the app since it would kill sales, I know several PC gamers that like the Switch, but not enough to purchase it, that said they would absolutely throw down the money to grab one if the Rainway app does come to the system. For them it's more about being able to play games like Civ or Stellaris on the go without buying an expensive gaming laptop to go along with their current rig than it is about cheesing the system to get their indies for half price. I know one of them's looking forward to Metroid Prime 4 as well, so I doubt there'd be a Wii style situation where everyone buys a console but no one buys games for it.

Re: Spin Like Crazy With The Official Crash Bandicoot Wired Controller For Switch
Worth noting that not only is the controller GameStop exclusive, but it's also exclusive to American GameStop. International GameStops won't have any

Re: Bethesda Busy Optimising Wolfenstein II On Switch, No News On DLC Yet
@LOZ_Master95 to be fair, GTAV is a last gen game, so it's certainly not out of the question.
