Easily one of the best games on the 3DS!

@JRJalapeno @AtlanteanMan In System Settings go to Users section, and in there you can “Change Order”

I’m glad Jeff Gerstmann showed this off this game last Friday on Giant Bomb

I’m personally hoping that the pinball aspect of this game is terrible, so I won’t feel any need to play this.

@Agramonte It costs at least $11 on mobile to get the same stuff that's in the Switch version, and even then the Switch version has a new track plus more enhancements and changes, including actual modeled cars during the race as opposed to colorful number blobs cruising around the track on the mobile version. Also, you can play with a controller on Switch, whereas touchscreen-only on mobile.

The base game MM3 on mobile is $4, but it cost $7 for the editor (changing racer/team names, etc) which you can do in the Switch version, so that brings it to a closer cost parity. I don't own the game on iOS so I don't know what the other in-app purchases are. Also of note that the name on Switch looks better, with the clear difference being that actual cars are modeled in-game during the races in the Switch version, based on videos/trailers I've seen. On the mobile version, the cars are only represented as dots with racer numbers on them. MM1 had real cars, but MM2 and MM3 only had dots representing cars. This was one of the reasons why I never bought MM3 on iOS, but I think I will buy this on Switch.

@Wanjia Take it up with Nintendo, they’re the ones posting North American eShop update press release on Thursday mornings (local time). Thursday is when Nintendo updates the eShop, so that’s why Nintendo Life posts this article each week.

Debating if I want to buy this for playing Neo Geo games on Switch.

Debating if I want to buy this for playing Neo Geo games on Switch.

Xbox’s all digital box would save Microsoft money on licensing DVD/Blu-ray/UHD, as well as save internal space and heat management. Similar with the PSP Go, that was a way to make the handheld slimmer. I doubt getting rid of the cart slot on the Switch would make much difference, other than a slight cost savings.

I’m bummed that Devolver doesn’t give 15% off for customer loyalty anymore on the last several games they’ve put out. I skipped GRIS to wait on a sale, but I may buy this now because I’ve really been waiting to play it since it was first shown.

Edit: I checked the store and GRIS does have the 15% off discount for me. I guess I was thinking I’d wait for a bigger sale. I must have been thinking of Pikuniku being the new game without the discount. Downwell also did not have the discount, but that’s only $3 so I bought that immediately. I did also buy Ape Out too.

With every new Hamster content drop I pray for Mr. Do! 🙏🙏🙏

Very excited to play Arcade Archives Bomb Jack today

Debating if I wanted to double-dip on this, but I think I will buy it now. Being able to play it on a TV, along with the larger Switch screen itself, sounds very appealing to me, though I’ll miss having 3D turned on. I thought about waiting for a sale, but I’d like to think the extra $2 I spend now will encourge Sega to keep commissioning M2 to put out definitive ports.

@LittleLion How the heck do you think this is an ad for 8BitDo?! The only time they are mentioned are calling out that it comes with a controller, and then listing it in bullet points of items that this package comes with.

Clowns dismissing this as a mobile game are... clowns. Do you call Civilization VI a mobile game? Fortnite? Sonic the Hedgehog? Final Fantasy VII?

Garbage boy gamers will always be garbage day gamers, no matter if we make trash day seven days a week.

Now that I vented, I’m very happy to pay $20 today to buy this on Switch. This game flew under my radar somehow, even though Top Gear 1 and 2 are on my personal top SNES games list. I tried the demo of this on PS4 last night, seems like a blast, but I’ll buy it on Switch based on performance being good according to this review, and because I prefer all games to be on Switch.

@Cobalt I love Metal Storm so much. Definitely one of my favorite NES games.

I picked this up off eShop a few days ago on a whim. I haven’t played all of these yet, but the standout for me so far is Psycho Soldier. I oddly really love it, especially the famous theme song.

The Party Zone is one of my personal favorite tables, so I was very happy to see this announced yesterday.

Since people always question the list of titles that are and aren’t here...

I believe this is just the PR breakdown straight from Nintendo. So NoA is to blame when they are a week late to announce HAMSTER games, and when they don’t include games, like for instance Super Hydorah this week.

I pre-ordered last night for the 33% off deal, glad to hear/read that I made a wise decision!

I really wish Nintendo would have put analog triggers on the Switch.

Based on everything I’ve heard, the emulation in the Sega Master Drive Collection is hot garbage on PS4 and PC, so I’ll be sticking with M2 as they are trusted masters of emulating old Sega games.

@JayJ Recreating pinball tables takes a lot of work, and I’m assuming that Zen didn’t start work until sometime after May when the Williams/Bally contract leaving FarSight was announced. Zen also made a whole new physics engine for these new tables, so that took time too. Once they streamline their workflow in regards to digital scanning real table and tweaking settings, I’m sure their output will increase.

As many above have mentioned, I got this “free” with PS+ and have played it a ton on PS4, but I’ll definitely be buying it on Switch, because gaming is so much better when you aren’t stuck playing on the TV.

I’m so pissed they aren’t doing Final Fantasy VIII, but I guess that’s because it’s not on iOS or Android, which I’m assuming these are ports of.

Some of HAMSTER’s NEOGEO games have been going on sale over the past several weeks on PS4’s and Xbox’s marketplaces, so I was praying we’d get similar discounts. I’ll definitely grab what I can, to encourage more frequent sales of other titles.

I’ve been playing the Pinball FX 3 open beta of these tables on Steam, and I can attest that their new physics engine for these real tables feels great! Way better than the feel of their virtual tables. These tables also look fantastic, better than I’ve ever seen them look in The Pinball Arcade. This was the absolute best thing that could have happened with the Williams license after they bailed on FarSight Studios. I’m going to definitely buy all the Williams & Bally tables that Zen releases, so long as they perform just as well on Switch (my preferred digital pinball system).

Best guitar riff of all time !!

Make my dreams come true, Hamster, and do a port of Mr. Do!

No Waluigi?? No buy!!

@Bass_X0 No! It released today!

Money Puzzle Exchanger has been my #1 dream NEO GEO game since HAMSTER started porting these over to Switch! My #2 is Neo Mr. Do!

@kevin74 Sounds like you just don’t like puzzle block games.

I sure hope that Farsight Studios patches The Pinball Arcade (and Stern Pinball Arcade) to allow portrait mode both counterclockwise and clockwise, because I plan a lot of TPA in portrait mode (using a tablet stand), and I also Kickstarted this grip and plan to use it a lot.

@KnightRider666 That is a very good version, and I have it loaded on my SNES Mini. I'd still love to have the arcade version ported to Switch by HAMSTER, so I can play it more easily, and be able to play it vertically.

I’m loving this arcade port of DK, but that hasn’t stopped me from praying to HAMSTER to port the arcade version of Mr. Do!

@BoFiS Donkey Kong was a surprise announcement on the Treehouse stream today, so they didn’t want to spoil it by putting it in the PR notes for today.

@MeloMan No joke! It’s the original arcade version! Here’s the link for proof ~ https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/arcade-archives-donkey-kong-switch

Sony is absolute garbage.

I have no clue how they could translate them from 3DS to Switch, but I’m hoping for ports to Switch too (preferably of YW1 and YW2 Psychic Specters also, not just YW3).

I’ve been waiting for Money Puzzle Exchanger ever since the first batch of NEO GEO games were announced on Switch at launch.

@mystman12 It drives me crazy too. I think the developer is using confusing phrasing in the hopes to mislead people. The table is only made to look like a table that could exist in reality (as opposed to Pinball FX tables). The screenshots make it look very poor for even $2, can’t imagine the physics would feel good to play either.

N++ is one of my favorite games of this generation, just like N+ was one of my favorites of last generation.
This will be the third time I buy N++, and I’ll be very happy to do so on Thursday. Can’t wait to see the custom levels that the community creates this time around!

I was crushed when Sony decided to shut down The Tomorrow Children. It’s one of my all-time favorite games on PS4!

This is one of my favorite game series, if you can call it that. I think this will be the 5th time I’ve bought a N game, which of course does not count the original freeware version. This newest version is fantastic, easily worth whatever they charge. I have it on PS4 and Steam, and will be buying this day one (or preordering if it becomes available).

I've been wishing Vlambeer would port Luftrausers (and all their other games) to Switch, so this looks like a great alternative while I keep waiting.

Crazy, I can't find this game on Giant Bomb's wiki! I've never come across a game that isn't on their database. I couldn't even find it by looking at all games published by FACE.

I really hope that this means that HAMSTER will port over FACE's other big Neo Geo puzzler, Money Puzzle Exchanger!

FYI: I just noticed tonight that a new Switch Channel popped up for The Pinball Arcade, announcing that TPA will be launching on the eShop tomorrow (April 6th)!! I can only speak for the North American eShop, no clue if this will launch in Europe too. The news item says it will be free to download, with "Tales of the Arabian Nights" table for free. It will launch with 94 tables for purchase, which I think might mean that covers all 7 seasons that has been released on other consoles/devices. The news items also mentions it will launch with 60fps docked and handheld (docked 1080p), and will have TATE/Vertical/Portrait support both docked and handheld. Will also have leaderboards. Since the game is basically Stern Pinball Arcade, but with a different interface and covers more table manufacturers, it should hopefully run as well as SPA does now after the patch. If you don't follow TPA on other consoles/devices, the seasons of tables are usually priced $30, or $40 to upgrade to Pro tables. No mention if they'll have Pro tables when it launches tomorrow.

I own a bunch of seasons of tables on Steam, but I'm very excited to see how this Switch version turns out. I'll definitely give Arabian Nights a good playthrough before I drop any money, in case this is a complete wreck (I am praying they did lots of testing before releasing this)!

@Mommar As someone else pointed out, a pinball table only has digital paddle buttons. I don't know of a single table in the entire history of pinball that has any sort of analog interface with the paddles. Having digital triggers on Switch controllers actually feels much better to me playing pinball than it does on PS4/Xbox/PC. I actually change the paddle buttons on those systems to the digital bumper buttons, since the analog triggers don't feel right playing pinball that way.
