Already got FFXV a day after it launched. I've also had Valkyria Chronicles 4 pre-purchased & downloaded for over a month now. And I already have Torna since I purchased the expansion pass for XC2 when it released. I've had XC2 downloaded since launch day and still have not played it, yet. Debris Infinity looks interesting, too. I've added it to the wish list.
This is one of the games I have on Wii U that I've been hoping would come over to Switch. I've played the final level a bunch, but have yet to actually beat it. The Wii U version crashes a lot.
Have this on my wish list on Wii U, but was never sure about it. After watching the Switch trailer I'll probably pass, but maybe someday I'll look up some gameplay videos to get a better idea.
@SimplyCinnamon53 Mine does the same, as well as for World of Goo, Little Inferno, & any other game I have that uses motion controls. My TV remote does the same thing. I haven't really cared too much for motion controls since the Wii Motion Plus. I'm constantly having to recalibrate. I never could understand why people raved about the precise motion controls for Skyward Sword. I don't consider motion controls to be precise if every few seconds you have to recalibrate them.
I pre-purchased Wasteland 2 & Warlock of Firetop Mountain several days ago, & I have the expansion pass for XC2, so I'll be downloading Torna, as well.
I pre-purchased & downloaded this over a month ago after playing the demo. It's the 1st VC game I've ever played (never even heard of the series before VC4 was announced as coming to Switch).
I've never played any of the Valkyria Chronicles games. I liked the demo of VC4, so I pre-purchased it digitally 2 or 3 weeks ago. I'll pick VC1 up, too, & probably play through it first before starting VC4.
I downloaded this on Wii U & have been hoping it would be coming to Switch. It's a fun game but I still haven't even come close to beating it, though. I really like the music & art style/graphics.
Castlestorm, MHGU demo, & Animated Jigsaws demo (been curious about that one for a while now) for me. Already have Monopoly & Morphite (downloaded those when they released).
I pre-purchased & downloaded this game as soon as pre-purchases went live on the US eshop, but I'll still download the demo. I loved MH3U on Wii U but have never owned a 3DS, so I haven't ever played MH4 or MHG. So excited for this game!
I absolutely adore Child of Light! I've been waiting & hoping for it to come to Switch. Now, if only Guacamelee & The Swapper would make their way over.
I plan on downloading a copy when I can afford it. I may wait until it goes on sale, though. Hopefully, it'll be one of the games listed in the eshop Christmas or New Year sales.
I am interested in this game fo Crystalis alone. Not sure if it's the same NES experience that I so enjoyed, though. I wasn't even aware that Crystalis even had an arcade version. I also really enjoyed Ikari Warriors.
It doesn't matter to me. I'm still playing Skyrim practically every night since its release on Switch. I just wish they would patch all the bugs the game has, because it sure has a whole lot.
I remember trying Crash Bandicoot on the demo disc that came w/ the PS1, but I did not really care for it & so never bought it (or played it — same w/ the other two games in the series).
I've never played Luminous, & the trailer makes it look boring. However, I'm a little intrigued based on all the positive reviews & comments I've read. But I never really cared for Tetris & I thought Puyo Puyo Tetris was boring, to say the least, so I don't know if I should take a chance on this one, or not.
I've played it for about 3 - 4 hours now, & it just isn't gripping me like I thought it would. I'll keep playing, though, & hopefully it'll grow on me. I admittedly haven't gotten very far, yet (I have only one special ability, next to healing).
I have Urba Trial Playground on Switch & really enjoy it. But Trials Rising looks so much better. I'll keep it on my radar. Hopefully, it won't be a buggy mess when it releases.
I thought Flashback was releasing today. Did it get delayed? As of last night it was still listed on the eshop as releasing today. Or did I miss something?
I liked this game on Wii U & be at the "basic" levels which, as the review mentions, were not too difficult. I got 2 or 3 levels into void mode, & yes, that's where the difficulty really amps up, but I never got back around to playing the game after that.
I did download it on Switch, however, because I would like all (well most, anyways) of my Wii U games on Switch simply for the added convenience of handheld mode (even though I usually play it docked).
I have this on Wii U & enjoyed it, although I never managed to defeat the final boss. I bought it again on Switch because I want as many Wii U games that I downloaded to be on my Switch, so that they are truly portable (in addition to several of them being improved over their Wii U versions). Now, if only Child of Light, SC: Blacklist, & the Arkham games would come to Switch....
@The_Pixel_King I would love for The Swapper to release on Switch! That game is one of my favorite indie games on Wii U, & I would buy it again in a heartbeat.
I bought Kamiko after reading Nintendo Life's review (I believe it scored 9/10). And I must say that I am thoroughly unimpressed. Its pixel art is pretty, but it's just not my kind of game. I am still working through my first playthrough (although I haven't played it in months) with the sword fighter (blue haired girl). I just find it kind of dull & mediocre at best. I would probably rate it a 4/10 or 5/10.
I tried giving Kirby a chance on Wii U with many of the virtual console releases downloaded, but I just can't get into the franchise, & frankly, other than the cuteness of it all, don't really understand the appeal. Nevertheless, I have Star Allies on my wishlist, because I liked the look & sound of it from the trailers. But I'm glad I tried out the demo first, because the game, while cute & nice to look at, was a little on the boring side. And I, too, felt like the friend characters kind of do everything. Also, after "easy" mode being way too easy, I tried the "hard" mode. And I finished the "hard" mode demo wondering exactly how it was any harder than "easy" mode, because they seemed identical to me, in terms of difficulty.
While I still may one day eventually download Kirby: Star Allies, I will definitely wait a couple of years or so, when it goes to the Nintendo Selects range.

Re: Nintendo Download: 13th September (North America)
I just don't see the appeal with Bastion or Undertale (never played either one before). Judging from the trailers, they just seem average.
Re: Nintendo Download: 13th September (North America)
I pre-purchased Wasteland 2 & Warlock of Firetop Mountain several days ago, & I have the expansion pass for XC2, so I'll be downloading Torna, as well.
Re: Bastion - A Captivating Indie Gem That Hasn't Been Dulled By The Passage Of Time
The trailer didn't grab me, so I don't know if I'll eventually get this one, or not.
Re: Valkyria Chronicles 4 - A Sublime Strategy Experience On Switch

Re: Take On Block Man In The Mega Man 11 Demo, Now Live On The Switch eShop
@WaveBoy To be fair, I've never played MM8, nor have I seen any videos of it, so I don't know what his voice sounds like in that game.
Re: Take On Block Man In The Mega Man 11 Demo, Now Live On The Switch eShop
@WaveBoy Have you ever heard his voice on Captain N: The Game Master cartoon from the late 80s / early 90s? It was much worse.

Re: ESRB Rating Reveals Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams Is Switch-Bound

Re: Review: CastleStorm (Switch eShop)
I enjoyed this on Wii U, but I never did complete it. I will be using my gold coins on the Switch version tomorrow.
Re: Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate Is Getting A Free Demo On Switch Tomorrow

@SimplyCinnamon53 Yes. That's how it's always been in the past, anyways.

Re: Square Enix Issues Apology After Underestimating Huge Octopath Traveler Demand
@Axlroselm The last Final Fantasy game I played was FFIX, but I thought FFXV was well received. Am I mistaken?
Re: Nintendo Download: 5th July (North America)
Why is it that the list to vote from does not include all the games mentioned in the article?

Re: It Looks Like Skyrim On Switch Will Never Get Mods Or The Creation Club

Re: Mercenaries Wings: The False Phoenix Will Offer A Separate Story To Saga Chronicles On Switch
I downloaded the trilogy on Switch when it released, but have yet to play it.
Re: Review: Runbow (Switch eShop)
I tried the demo on Wii U and didn't care much for it. Of course, I didn't have anyone to play with, either.
Re: Video: Cat Quest II Will Arrive In 2019, And Here's A New Teaser Trailer

Re: US Research Analyst Believes Gaming Could Become 100% Digital By 2022
I'm already 100% digital. I like not having more physical stuff taking up space.
Re: Review: Hollow Knight (Switch eShop)
I've played it for about 3 - 4 hours now, & it just isn't gripping me like I thought it would. I'll keep playing, though, & hopefully it'll grow on me. I admittedly haven't gotten very far, yet (I have only one special ability, next to healing).
Re: Video: Analysing Fortnite's Frame Rate And Resolution On Switch

Re: Review: Nihilumbra (Switch eShop)

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend?
Skyrim

The Way Remastered
Maybe Wulverblade & Castle of Heart
Re: Nintendo Download: 17th May (North America)
I pre-purchased both Mega Man games, & plan on picking up Battlechaser soon. Also interested in Little Nightmares & Banner Saga.
Re: Review: Battle Chasers: Nightwar (Switch)
I've been waiting for this one!
Re: Review: Asdivine Hearts (Switch eShop)
I have this on Wii U & enjoyed it, although I never managed to defeat the final boss.

Re: Switch Gets Another Slice Of Sci-Fi Noir When The Fall Drops On 10th May

Re: Flyhigh Works Celebrates Kamiko Sales Success With Fairune Collection Announcement
I bought Kamiko after reading Nintendo Life's review (I believe it scored 9/10). And I must say that I am thoroughly unimpressed. Its pixel art is pretty, but it's just not my kind of game.

I would probably rate it a 4/10 or 5/10.

Re: Kirby Star Allies Has a Demo Live on the eShop Now
I tried giving Kirby a chance on Wii U with many of the virtual console releases downloaded, but I just can't get into the franchise, & frankly, other than the cuteness of it all, don't really understand the appeal. Nevertheless, I have Star Allies on my wishlist, because I liked the look & sound of it from the trailers. But I'm glad I tried out the demo first, because the game, while cute & nice to look at, was a little on the boring side. And I, too, felt like the friend characters kind of do everything.
