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).
@Aozz Nintendo is starting to list the Wii games as VC on their website. They have both Trauma Team & Kirby's Return to Dreamland listed as VC, but none of the others. Don't know if that's a mistake, though, on their part.
I played Xenogears on PS1 or PS2 (I can't remember which system that was made for). That was a fun game. It had a really good story, from what I recall.
@aaronsullivan I don't believe Nintendo will release a new console 5 months after they officially reveal it. If I recall, Wii U was revealed over a year before it released, wasn't it? Also, if it does release next November, I question the quality of the ports & original software line-up. It just seems that those games would all feel rushed.
I remember buying this game when it released. I was 19 or 20 when it came out. I played it practically non-stop the rest of the day, & had beaten it the by next day. Very good game.
@mariovslink62 If Nintendo's going to market Xenoblade, then they should've started earlier this month. It's only 5-1/2 weeks away, so they should be aggressively marketing it by now. The fact that they're not tells me that they'll advertise it as much as they advertised Wonderful 101.
Maybe some of you guys have seen this, but Nintendo must've had a secret Direct, as they've apparently already released the Nintendo Cross (formerly NX) Official Reveal Trailer.

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.

@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.
