It's $15 and is much better, and much easier to understand than the 3DS version. Just so you know.

Price is too high, I agree.
I'm waiting for sale for now, but it did feel, look and play much better.

Demo is now available with the Thursday eshop drop.

@Sisilly_G

Well I believe you, but on the shop I am seeing has no demo, and also does not have anything about a touch screen.

Maybe the demo is only for NOL suscribers?

massive Ogre Battle 64 vibes on this one

Is touch screen play an option?

Let's Go version would extremely disappointing.

Legends and just the classics (to buy!! not NOL) would be preferred.

A 2D / 2dHD top down remake would be a dream.

I wish for a TOP DOWN but modern take on Pokemon - new or remake, just go back to flatter worlds and views and things would already be instantly better and less intense for the hardware.

@tourjeff
Just curious why you need the new console so soon if you have at least 6 months of backlog?

I agree with the backlog, I may be skipping the entire next generation to play and enjoy the games I have built up. I even 3DS games still sealed I didn't get to yet even though I waited a few years into Switch to jump in.

@JHDK

I agree with this.

Tears (and BotW -to a lesser degree, at least after the initial surprise of the large world ) is a total chore to play and a boring end to Aunoma's reign (we can all hope). I regret spending the overhyped price gouging rate of $70 on it and wasted over 50 hours trying to enjoy myself. I sold it just weeks later on ebay and there were so many others, like myself, selling it that I they were going for under $30 resale already.

Zelda needs OUT with the old tired rich guy and all his hangups and insecurity with the series IN with new blood!

A brand new top down classic but super ultra modern version of Gen1-5 gameplay can be greatly enhanced with newer developments and graphics and of course there is a goldmine of story content if they hired another company to collaborate with on that aspect.

Ditch trying to do 3D BotW type game and get back to the awesome settings, routes, gyms, and make it all new again.

That would be killer and basically all I want out a new game

SMASH RUN!!

On the 3Ds for those that do not know!

@Kanbei

A remastered Virtual Fighter collection would be great too.

More from Aunoma... Time for him to take a break a long one -like on a different series. He has way too much control, way to reactive and overcorrections to the point that he contradicts himself in a endless loop. I really wish for him to move on and get some new much younger blood making decisions and literal direction for this series.

I don't know much of the backstory here, but wow that is brutal. Never should have been in the game anyway -they no doubt did it to get a popular channel to constantly promote their indie game.

Seems reactive af, and the whole thin stinks from all sides.

I've held off from getting these games since launch.... hoping and wanting the best version to be released. For as many sales as they make on these half baked cash-in's, they are also loosing real supporters, like myself.

What a wash-out this Pokemon gen was. At least Legends was ok.

@CammyUnofficial
Finally after 30 years or so of trying, finally started getting the hang of SF, proper fighting instead of frustration. I prefer SF3, I like 2nd wave a lot, and I know 3rd strike is the best but my skill still not there.

Always loved SF and glad I can start to speak the language more. I can't do well at all on any of the earlier games, though I do like the 3 aplha's too, but SF3's have easier footsies for me since I can't nail specials every time.

I have to ask, what is your preferred controller method? I finally settled on the Snes Switch controller after trying the 8 bit, the zelda joy con. and the pro controller (which turns my hadoken into a meat grinder for my hand).

I bought Ultimate SF2 for a few days too.. I liked the way it felt but there was not much for me to do that wasn't already in the 30th collection so I sold it.

I've only worked on single player, usually in table top mode (looks awesome on oled!) - I'd get butchered online anyway!

Virtua Fighter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Give us a collection, or if only one, VF4 Evolution in HD!

(VFV was a bit thin).

VF needs needs characters and more fluidity in animation... they seem too stiff. So much gold on them hills!

@CammyUnofficial

Which Street Fighter are you playing? And which is your favorite?
SF 30th was high up in my year end too.

I don't care as much if it is "open world" (and that is code word for "padding" a game) or a focused 'actual' game -all I really want to to NOT be bored with Zelda. That literally never happened until Aunoma phoned it in with chore-play over a fun-play.

Just my opinion.

His quotes just further show the series is obviously too long in the tooth for Aunoma and he should move onto to something else and let some fresh blood in there to bring back a fun game.

I want to get Outer Wilds before the sale ends. Does it play well on Switch? Not a single review online so far.

Makes sense; A long winded speech for a long winded game

I can't wait until they move on from this era's Zelda's. Should have been a new IP it would have worked out. I miss that feeling Zelda used to have, 2d, or my preference 3d.

I did not enjoy Tears, particularly. Endless chore I fought through for 40 hours before selling it as fast as I could.

I really feel and wish Aunoma would move on too.

The good old days long before the padded boring chore the new Zelda series has become.

Aunoma is ready to retire and hand this off to a new team, or god forbid, back to Miyamoto!

Just opinions.

I have Garou in my backlog I'll try it tonight. Same controls (2 punch 2 kick, SF style specials)?

Thanks!

One more question;

Are KoF games related (and play the same as) to Garou Mark of the Wolves?

Thank you everyone that answered. KoF is new to me I may have dabbled with one of them before. I want to to give this one a try.

That looks quite nice!

Are the controls more like street fighter (3 buttons punch/kick type), or more like capcom vs series (weak, mid, strong, special) type?

With hadoken d-pad roll move type moves, or mortal kombat type combos?

Also, do folks prefer d-pad, or stick controls on this?

Thank you.

@PeteW
What do you like for your Switch arcade stick? Is it bluetooth?

@ChromaticDracula

I love those games too... in fact UltraSun I had just under 600 hours in.

D-pad is massive for me.
OLED from the start, all models.
Case cracking issue.
Joy Con drift.
Joy Con connection issues.
Cartridge cover.

@Mana_Knight

I like the downloads may only follow to the new console with a constant and active NOL paid membership subscription.

That would highly irritate me, if so.

Is this touch screen or button control?

Asking because I hate getting my OLED screen all smudgy.

Christmas game for myself.

Excited to play, but expenses, bills, work and time compete heavily with my backlog and current games on multiple systems.

I find the slightly lower difficulty and major PLUS.... Mario Maker broke me -even NSMBwiiU was frustrating and I have been back to playing SM3 and SMWorld instead of the new games. Looking forward to this one.

To anyone:

For a total noob at Sonic (been gaming since pong though), what is the greatest Sonic game?

I've bought and tried a few and didn't get the hang of it at all.

Give it a real D-Pad -like on the Lite- and I'm in.

Much preferred to TofK for me.

GC originals for me on my classic 4:3 CRT GXTV ooh yea!

Interesting but not expected because TotK is already DLC anyway. Way overpriced and over hyped DLC, at that!
Ebay prices for the game have dived. I listed mine last week and failed to sell at just $43... I expect huge changes to the Zelda line next gen, most likely back to a much more focused, grounded game with an actual arc to gameplay and story, and less open ended kitchen-sink approach.

@flojomojo

I love the way the Lite feels too. Near perfect D-pad!

@Altaria_97

Same! I will never go back to the old screens! OLED rules, and has improved my gaming this generation and I was reluctant to upgrade but so glad I did.

@LikelySatan
yeah I like now too!! I mean for Zelda

@LikelySatan

Snow is my highlight.... I remember playing this on below zero windy days where it dark for 16 hours per day! yes some of it is dated, the climbing and lack of paraglider are mostly what I miss about Nintendo's gem, but I think I am going to go back to the earlier Zelda's and hopefully I have forgotten enough of the golden era that is feels new again. I miss it.

@LikelySatan

So much adventure in an unknown (for me) world! I feel "on" the world as opposed to "on" it if you know what I mean. I played years ago on 360 and every so often in every day life the sky, setting, an old ruin somewhere, etc. reminds me of that game. I am glad I just rebought for Switch. I love the way it levels, and it my interest you; Use whatever weapon or magic or skill and that is upgrades as you use it. Pretty different to what I am used to, even though I know Skyrim is old now. For Zelda, the breaking weapons, the difficult (for me) bosses, the blood moon, which I think is cheap and a sell-out move of the developers, and reusing the map is not as groundbreaking as BotW was, except this time -more frustrating. An incredible game and amazing what they did for Switch.. but I am not having fun and feel bored and some dread to go through it. Glad you like it.

Got fed with with Tears of the Kingdom.... god what a chore!!
Doubling down on the weakest parts of BoTW sucks.... BRING BACK REAL ZELDA please.

Selling it on ebay right now, and moving on with another purchase upgrade for Skyrim! An all-time classic.

but...which to choose?

Pokemon is getting boring as can be. Sad to see such a monster franchise (har har) go down like a led zeppelin.

Its already quite challenging in a chore-like kind of way. They more than doubled down on breakable weapons, crafting obviously (though I like some of the new changes, ultrahand, etc.), and the clothes thing... and very difficult enemies, more slippery than ever brutally timed rain storms, if you ask me. I prefer exploring and a less chore-feeling and if they keep on this route, I am out on the next one moving forward. I think it could be more fun and playful vs dreadful at times.

A master mode would be good for those that like Souls games... but never ever would be played by me.

OLED

AND backwards compatibility

INCLUDING eShop transfers

are ESSENTIAL.

Most of the previous Draknek games gave me such grief .... I still try them once in a while as I love puzzle games... this one, I will keep an eye on too.
