That review score is way too high for such a boring game, imo.

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.

What I played of Snipperclips was fun, but I got my fill from the demo.

I've completed Oceanhorn 100%, & am still working on Forma.8. I'd rate Oceanhorn 8/10 & Forma.8 7/10.

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.

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.

Not my kind of game.

This game looks awesome!

@SLIGEACH_EIRE If I remember right, the Wii U version got an 8/10.

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.

@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.

@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.

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.

@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.

I already downloaded Severed a couple of days ago. Other than that, I'll be downloading Troll and I & the Rayman demo.

@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.

@Beanthegene I bought it yesterday evening, & yes, it has I believe 4 different colorblind options. It's also pretty fun. I like it.

Looks boring.

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.

Earth Atlantis & Slime-san both look good to me.

I plan on getting ARMS & Cave Story+ at some point (hopefully sooner, rather than later), but I'm broke right now.

This game looks good! Will definitely purchase.

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.

No.

I'd like to see a user rating system.

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.

The only games coming out in March that interest me are BotW, Setsuna, & the 3 Tomorrow Corporation games.

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.

@PlywoodStick Rowlett, TX.

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).

I've got XCX pre-installed. Can't wait for 11 pm CST to start playing!

@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.

@rjejr "Next week is kind of now or never. " My guess is that Nintendo's going to go with never.

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.
