Not interested. The co-op description reminds me of Affordable Space Adventures, though (which I thought was fun in solo play — the opposite of what this one sounds like).
I downloaded it when it released, & I think it's pretty fun. I've only played easy mode, though, & completed it with the wizard (the easiest one to use, imo). I've tried all 4 characters (+ the bonus character that unlocks for the mansion levels), but they seem to be more difficult beat the game with.
I'm looking forward to (some of these were not shown):
Wulverblade, Nine Parchments, Earth Atlantis, Mulaka, Descent, War Groove, Steam World Dig 2, Aces of the Luftwaffe, Owl Boy, Hollow Knight, Battle Chasers Nightwar, Redout, The Fall Part 2, Shakedown Hawaii, Syberia 1/2/3, Axiom Verge, Constructor Plus, Gear.Club Unlimited, Chess Ultra, Flipping Death, Monster Boy & the Cursed Kingdom, Rive, Rime, Celeste, 8-Bit Armies, Unepic, & many more to come.
I downloaded this game 2 or 3 days ago. I agree with the review score. The game has promise, but just fell short. The controls are fairly cumbersome. The voice acting & story are decent enough. The graphics are sub-par, but passable. The frame rate occasionally stutters. When climbing (especially with Troll), it gets a little frustrating at times because of how slow the characters move. Overall, it is beginning to get a little tiring & repetetive. Not sure if I'll end up finishing it, or not. The fact that autosave points are not more frequent means that when you die, you may have to restart too far back that you might not feel like trudging back through cumbersome areas — at least that's how I feel.
So, overall, I would also rate this game 4/10. While I do find it somewhat enjoyable despite its flaws, it is beginning to wear on me. To sum it up in one word (I used it a couple of times already) — cumbersome.
@Al_Godoy I died a LOT fighting that brain monster on the hardest difficulty setting, but each time I experimented with different tactics, & eventually figured out that a certain spell worked VERY well against him (I think it was one that generated coins, or something like that), & I got to the point where he became very easy.
I liked Unepic a lot. I played the highest difficulty level but never could beat the final boss for the end path that I chose. I will definitely download it again on my Switch.
@OorWullie I haven't read any, but I'm aware it hasn't reviewed well much at all. I did watch some gameplay footage, though — maybe the first 45 min to an hour, or so — & it seemed fine to me.
@cmk8 Back during the Wii days, North America used to get the weekly updates on Mondays, as well. About 2 years away from the end of its life cycle, Nintendo of America switched it to Thursdays.
I will be getting this one. The gameplay video that I watched looks good to me. As long as the gameplay, story, & music are good, then I'm in. And from what I watched, it looks just fine.
Not interested in Has Been Heroes (looks dull & boring). Loved Trine & Trine 2, though (never played Trine 3). I just hope this game is playable solo, because I'm definitely interested. Also hope that Trine 1, 2, & 3 make it to Switch someday.
The screenshots & the trailer just don't do it for me. It looks like a average, boring cell phone game, & I honestly don't see what's so appealing about it.
I noticed yesterday while browsing the North American eshop that Specter of Torment was no longer available. Only Treasure Trove was available. Don't know if that was a mistake or intentional, though.
The Snipperclips demo has been out since launch, I believe. I downloaded it about 5 days ago or so. It didn't look like my kind of game, but my wife & I had fun with the demo. I may get it if it ever goes on sale someday, but by the time that happens I'm sure I'll have moved on by then. Also, it would have to be at least half off before I'd be tempted to bite.
Of the March/April releases I'll be getting Zelda BotW, I am Setsuna, Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove, Fast RMX, World of Goo, Little Inferno, Human Resource Machine, LEGO City, & MK8 DX. There are several more listed coming later that I'm interested in, too.
I've never played a Bomberman game before. I've never really seen the appeal, but I've been trying to get hyped about this one and look at it as an opportunity to get into the franchise. However, neither one of the videos make it look appealing, either. It just seems kind of boring. I want to give it a chance, but at $50 and the not so appealing game play, I'm probably going to pass. Plus, I'll be too busy with BotW & I am Setsuna for quite some time (also getting the 3 Tomorrow Corporation games — I love those games)
And about explosion patterns — are they random? They don't make any sense to me.
@Parkour_LMan I don't mind hard platformers, although I go through them rather slowly. I downloaded DKC: TF when it released and I'm still trying to beat that one. I'm at the fruit island right now but I haven't played it since XCX released. That game has all of my attention at the moment. Sometime last week I downloaded SM3DW, Yoshi's Wooly World, PixlCross, & Chronicles of Teddy. Last month I also downloaded Twilight Princess HD & a few other games. I haven't even started a single one yet.
I pre-downloaded Star Fox Zero but am not too interested in this game. Still, since it'll only be $9.99 after the $5 discount I'll probably get it anyway, especially considering I'm trying to earn enough gold points to get Donkey Kong Country Returns. I've never played that game.
I don't own a 3DS, but I did get Pilot Wings on Wii U VC. It's a game that never appealed to me, but I decided to try it. I don't think I actually paid for it because I believe it was a Club Nintendo reward. SNES Pilot Wings is the only Pilot Wings game I've ever played and, while my daughter likes to watch me play it (she doesn't ever want to try it herself), I personally think it's a rather bland & boring, game. I would rate it a 4 or 5 at the most.
Nothing for me, as I'm living in temporary housing for at least 6 months or so while my house gets rebuilt, & there is no internet here. Maybe I'll just have to include hotspot service on my phone.
I won't be downloading anything seeing as my house is unliveable for the next few months since a tornado did some major damage to it the day after Christmas, & I suspended my internet service until it gets fixed. (No internet at the rental house I'm staying in, either).

Axiom Verge, Earth Atlantis, & Oxenfree for me.

@Randomlight Agreed.
Re: Review: Axiom Verge (Switch eShop)
This game was great on Wii U. I'll definitely double dip on this one.
Re: Atooi Confirms Mutant Mudds Collection for the Nintendo Switch
Bought the first one on Wii U. It was ok, but nothing memorable. Never finished it, either. So I'll pass on the collection.
Re: Review: Astro Bears Party (Switch eShop)
That score seems a little generous.
Re: Over The Moon Gives a Gameplay and Project Update on The Fall Part 2: Unbound
@Bunkerneath Agreed. Regardless, I'll be downloading this on day 1.
Re: Review: Physical Contact: Picture Place (Switch eShop)
It's starting to sound like this developer is the RC MADIAX of Switch.
Re: Reminder: Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime is Out Today on the Switch eShop
Not interested. The co-op description reminds me of Affordable Space Adventures, though (which I thought was fun in solo play — the opposite of what this one sounds like).
Re: Projection: First Light Will Bring Shadow Puppetry to the Nintendo Switch
Looks interesting.
Re: My Nintendo in North America Adds Free Games to its Gold Rewards
I'm not into runners, but since it's free I guess I'll pick up Runner 2.
Re: Review: Arcade Archives Mario Bros. (Switch eShop)
That review score is way too high for such a boring game, imo.
Re: Review: Quest of Dungeons (Switch eShop)
I downloaded it when it released, & I think it's pretty fun. I've only played easy mode, though, & completed it with the wizard (the easiest one to use, imo).

Re: Snipperclips Plus Launches On The Nintendo Switch On 10th November
What I played of Snipperclips was fun, but I got my fill from the demo.
Re: Switch Versions Of Oceanhorn And forma.8 Outsell Console Rivals
I've completed Oceanhorn 100%, & am still working on Forma.8. I'd rate Oceanhorn 8/10 & Forma.8 7/10.
Re: TT Games Listens and Gives LEGO Worlds on Switch a Nice New App Icon
Really, though. It's just an icon. Who really cares?

I never even got close to beating it, but I'm still planning on downloading it to my Switch.

Re: Sausage Sports Club Will Aim for Meaty Sales on the Switch eShop
Not my kind of game.
Re: Feature: How Wulverblade Is Bringing Britain's Blood-Soaked History To Life On Nintendo Switch
This game looks awesome!
Re: Review: forma.8 (Switch eShop)
@SLIGEACH_EIRE If I remember right, the Wii U version got an 8/10.

Re: Guide: A Simple Fix for a Game Breaking Bug in Troll and I on Switch
@DickeyWord I don't know the answer to that, but I put mine in sleep mode all the time. I think I've only completely powered down 3 times, maybe.

Re: The Jackbox Party Pack 1 & 2 Hit the Switch on 17th August
To answer the question: No, I'm not. In general, party games are not my cup of tea. There are some exceptions, though, I suppose.
Re: Nintendo Download: 10th August (North America)
@OorWullie I haven't read any, but I'm aware it hasn't reviewed well much at all. I did watch some gameplay footage, though — maybe the first 45 min to an hour, or so — & it seemed fine to me.
Re: Nintendo Download: 10th August (North America)
I already downloaded Severed a couple of days ago. Other than that, I'll be downloading Troll and I & the Rayman demo.

Re: Slime-San: Blackbird’s Kraken Will Be Releasing for Free on Switch at a Later Date
@Beanthegene I bought it yesterday evening, & yes, it has I believe 4 different colorblind options. It's also pretty fun. I like it.
Re: Hands Up, This Is The Police Is Coming To Nintendo Switch
Looks boring.
Re: Troll And I Stomps Onto Switch Next Month With A $30 Price Tag
I will be getting this one. The gameplay video that I watched looks good to me. As long as the gameplay, story, & music are good, then I'm in. And from what I watched, it looks just fine.
Re: Headup Games Gives Release Details for Three Switch eShop Titles
Earth Atlantis & Slime-san both look good to me.
Re: Nintendo Download: 15th June (North America)
I plan on getting ARMS & Cave Story+ at some point (hopefully sooner, rather than later), but I'm broke right now.
Re: Owlboy Is Coming to the Switch
This game looks good! Will definitely purchase.
Re: Co-Operative Blast 'Em Up Nine Parchments Is Casting Its Spell On Switch

No.

Re: Guide: Nintendo Switch Launch Games: The Complete List
The only games coming out in March that interest me are BotW, Setsuna, & the 3 Tomorrow Corporation games.

I don't own a 3DS, but I did get Pilot Wings on Wii U VC. It's a game that never appealed to me, but I decided to try it.
