I have their standard playstand, which looks to be the same as this one, only much less Splatoony. It’s pretty solid, but I don’t end up using it that much.

Stardew Valley has its hooks in me once again...

Fight of Gods looks absurd. Like one of those games that’s so bad it’s good. I’m not sure if I can bring myself to buy it, but what a concept!

Honestly I think the concept has potential. A smash clone in 8-bit style could be pretty interesting. But this doesn’t look that great to me. I guess we’ll see how it turns out.

@Morlock5K Me too! Nintendo's handhelds didn't get as much love from me as their consoles, so there are so many great GB, GBC, and GBA games that I have never played.

I figured they'd wait at least a year for the SNES games, so if they come soon, that would be a pleasant surprise.

This sounds kind of exciting, I'll keep an eye on it!

It's very colorful and I like the art, but the animation and gameplay look a little stiff and clunky. It's a ways off though, so there's time to work on that. I'll keep it on my radar.

@countzero If I remember right, you could turn the crosshairs off, but that made it too hard as your remote is not really aiming at the TV, it's aiming at the sensor bar, so it was just off.

Good games, but should have given Joy Mech Fight to the West as well.

@skywake That would be pretty sweet.

@Dahn_ It’s called Roof Rage. It’s like a pixel art Smash Bros. with a bit of Street Fighter thrown in that takes place across various Asian rooftops. It’s on Steam Early Access now, but it’s supposed to be coming to Switch eventually, which I’m super pumped for!

VLC is awesome, and for me it’s a must-have on my computers. How would it work on Switch, though? Like if you put video files on a SD card it could read and play them?

EDIT: Saw the user above me mention USB. That would be super convenient!

@SmaggTheSmug Or "I just bought Everything on the eShop for under $20!!!"

@Spectra On the contrary, Everything to see here, haha

On a serious note, I've watched quite a few gameplay videos of this on YouTube, and I'm officially adding it to my wishlist. The game is just so random, and for some reason I'm finding that appealing. Seems like a good game to just chill and mess around in.

Smash Bros. with the wife, and I've been getting back into Paladins. I'll probably get into some other stuff too, but I haven't decided what yet.

@Blitzenexx Or behindsight in this case.

Here's what I'm thinking:

NSMBUD: I will get this game eventually. I already have it on Wii U, and honestly, it's not one of my favorite Mario games, but I want to give it another chance and see if my wife will play it with me. It also seems like a good game to play on the go. If it goes on sale, I'll probably pounce.

Everything: This game looks wild! I wasn't originally planning to get it, but after seeing more of it, I think I'm sold. I expect reviews will vary drastically for this game, but overall it did well on other platforms, so as long as the Switch version checks out, I'm probably in.

Momodora: I never heard of this game before, but I was really drawn in by the first screenshots I saw. After a little research, I discovered that this game was very highly rated on other platforms. As long as there are no issues with the Switch version, I'm gonna add it to my list, but I'll probably wait until I finish with a few other games before I pick it up.

Onimusha: I had no idea this game existed back in the day, but I love Resident Evil and I love the setting of this game, so I'm likely in on this one. Again, I'll probably wait until I clear out a bit of backlog before I get it though.

@stuffiwrote Couldn't have said it any better myself!

This is a major LOL. They're catching a ton of criticism for the way they're handling their legacy content, so what do they decide to do? Drip feed us two NES games for the month instead of the already-paltry three. I could understand if the library was huge and there weren't many games left to choose from, but the service has less than 30 games!

Though I read on another site that the reason why it's only two this month is because the third game is Joy Mech Fight, but since that was a Japan-only release, only Japan is getting it. They could have given us another game, or they could have done the minimal translations necessary to actually make the NES Online service kind of special and release Joy Mech Fight to the West for the first time, but instead they opted to just give us nothing.

I hope this doesn't happen every time a Japan-only game is in the line-up.

@WiltonRoots I can give it a strong recommendation. It’s funny, I never played arcade racers at all growing up, so there’s really no nostalgia involved in this game for me, it’s just a really good game on its own merits. If it hits the nostalgia bone for you, that’s just an added bonus!

Smash just came in the mail, so obviously I’m playing that. I also just picked up Horizon Chase Turbo on sale, and this game has greatly exceeded my expectations! It’s been stealing some hours from Smash for sure. Otherwise, I also got Go Vacation along with Smash, and I also got Blossom Tales on sale, but they’re on the back burner for now.

I especially liked the inverted-color Old Women that floated around like Peahats and the moonwalking Octoroks.

Good to see you're still working on perfecting your formula! Reviews are by far the biggest reason why I come to this site, so anything you can do to get more reviews out there (or at least more reviews of worthwhile but under-the-radar games) is much appreciated.

I like all this random old stuff getting out there. While the SNES version of this game is obviously the same thing but better, it would still be cool to have an official release of this NES version just as a historical thing. If they dropped this on NSO, I'd probably play it, haha!

This is kinda lame, I’m not gonna have the game by then. I hope they plan to bring these back eventually.

Gris and Firewatch are on the radar.

Came across this game when I was watching some random compilations of indies on YouTube. It looked pretty cool, so I was bummed that it was Steam-only at that point. Guess I’ll have my chance to check it out now.

Yes! Great review! I’ll be picking this one up, but admittedly probably on a sale. Though I may be missing something, Nintendo’s site says this is $40 on the eShop. Still on the pricey side, but much better than $60.

Seems interesting. I’ll be keeping an eye on this for sure.

Man, I haven't been able to play any MK games since Armageddon on Wii! I'm pretty pumped for this!

Already have many of these. Out of the ones I don't already have, nothing I really want. I need to do a better job of waiting for sales, especially considering my current backlog.

Desert Child - This is a maybe. I'll see how it reviews. For now, it's probably an under 50% chance I'll get it, but that could change.

Everspace - See Desert Child

Kingdom - Will be getting this nearly 100%, just need to decide whether to get it now or wait for a sale. I picked up Kingdom: New Lands on sale a little while back and have had soooo much fun with it!

Rival Megagun - Will most likely pick it up this weekend. I don't have many (any?) shmups, but I've been looking to get into the genre.

Smash - Of course. Getting it physical though, and Amazon will take a while to get it to me in Korea.

I am the Hero looks okay, but none for me this time. Of recent games, I’d really like to see reviews of This War of Mine and The First Tree.

I think this game would be pretty successful on Switch. Hopefully they can make it happen.

I would be down for this! I have 3 and 4 on Wii U and enjoyed what I played, but never came close to finishing them.

@kirbygirl That may be, though the only other review of the Switch version on Metacritic right now is a 65. Regardless, I didn't make my decision based on this review, I had already decided against it based on personal tastes. It's nothing against this game. It still seems pretty decent overall, probably better than a 6 if you're one that really likes the genre or style, but I have too many other games in the backlog to justify adding this one when I'm questionable on it.

I was initially intrigued based on the art style, but after a bit more research I decided against this one. I'd say this review reinforces that decision.

Will be getting this, but bummed that I missed the discounted price. I might wait for a sale now.

Every time people complain about NL giving a game an 8 or 9, I check Metacritic/GameRankings and find out that the game in question has a score in the same ballpark there. Just checked Cattails on Metacritic, and sure enough, the game has a 77 (and this is before NL's review has even been factored in). When you mostly only review games that are like 8s or 9s in quality, then guess what? They're gonna get 8s and 9s in their reviews.

Also worth noting that NL's average review score on Metacritic is a 64, which is 10 points lower than average (or a full point on the 1-10 scale).

All that said, despite enjoying this genre (and enjoying cats!), my gut says I would not really be into this game, so I'll be giving it a pass at this point.

@Medic_alert I’m definitely old enough, I just grew up staunchly on the Nintendo side of the console wars, so I never really paid any attention to Sega. I guess I either missed those advertisements or just don’t remember them.

I might be an idiot, but I just realized that AGES is SEGA backwards, haha

@AloftStudio Good on you guys for letting us choose to wait on Switch versions if we back. So I have now officially backed my first ever Kickstarter project!

While I’m sure some of these are decent, none for me this time.

To me, the original quote wasn’t even all that convincing that they were actually working on this, so I’m not surprised about this denial.

However, anything can happen, and the “no plans at this time” thing is a total non-answer, as it always is. I guess we’ll see...

If my pledge guaranteed me both games on Switch, I’d do it in a heartbeat. But it seems at least the second game would be on PC, and I’m not interested in that. So I guess I’ll just buy whatever makes it to Switch whenever it gets there.

Sold. Wait... does that expression even work here?

@SwitchForce Will do, thanks guys!

@Nico07 Thanks for the tips! I didn't know about formatting, so I will be sure to do that first (for the new card of course). Hopefully that will help the process.

I was on the fence about this but decided to bite the bullet on it last night. Glad I did! My 200 GB card has about 50 GB left, but at the rate I'm going that won't last long, and I haven't even downloaded Warframe yet. I hope the transfer goes smoothly and I don't have to redownload all my games one by one. After that, the 200 GB card will become either a digital camera card or a pseudo thumb drive for my wife.
