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.
I'm guessing the developers didn't want to spoil the experience by putting some of the jump scares in the trailer, and while horror games are not my thing, that was still a very boring trailer.
I pre-loaded this when pre-purchase became available. I've had it on my radar since whenever it was first revealed to be coming to Switch. But I still haven't tried it out, yet.
I enjoyed Midnight on Wii U. It quickly got tough, but I managef to beat it in about 4-5 hours or so. Not sure if I'll get it on Switch or not. I never picked up Midnight 2 either, so if I do end up double dipping, then I'll be tempted to get the sequel, as well. I'm a sucker for having all games in a series be on the same system.
I check the news channel every time the blue indicator appears (which is several times a day). A lot of the content is useless to me, as well, but I still enjoy it.
Just a suggestion, though: For all those with ideas that could make the service better, why don't you send those ideas to Nintendo? Then maybe some of them will eventually get implemented.
Started this on Wii U, but didn't get too far into it before moving on to other games. I'll probably pick it up on Switch when it's cheap enough, since my goal is to transfer all my Wii U games over to Switch as they become available.
@crackafreeze You & me both (about the Motocross review). I kept waiting for a NL review of the previous Motocross game that released back in November, I believe, but haven't seen one, yet.

@Axlroselm The last Final Fantasy game I played was FFIX, but I thought FFXV was well received. Am I mistaken?
