@Yasaal @Sinton There's a review embargo on it.
If metacritic is correct, the reviews will start popping on December 6 at 5am US Pacific time

I really like trains.
Densha de go switch, when?

@greywing You being here is super sweet, thank you for sharing! You're joining the elite club of "devs in the Nintendo Life comments section" with some Image & Form team members.
Only cool people allowed.

Lots of cool special offers this week.
Time to buy Steamworld Dig for the ... 4th time.

Ugh I feel dirty.

I've already got more Switch controllers than friends.
Stop it, 8bitdo, just stop.

@Gamerhenky I almost peed my pants and then I remembered the climax series is a fighting game
Thanks for the information anyway, cool stuff!

@Varubajia Disgaea 5 was also my first one and yeah it's really obscure, especially if you're accustomed to "normal" rpgs where you're expected to follow the story with just a few grinding spots.

I thought that gamefaqs and other "tips for beginners" are super useful. Don't be ashamed to do that.
Same for videos like those https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxffiYlx1DM
It's things like that, that teach you how bad you're supposed to break the rules of the games to just play it.

@alpha5099 Every game in the series can be your first game.
Basically 5 has the most up to date mechanics, including the cheat menu (I don't believe 1 complete has it? correct me if I'm wrong).

The 1st one has a story and character everyone loves (which is helpful when you start a never ending game).

It's a trade off, I guess. Do you want the more advanced gameplay but might be too complex to start, or the original gameplay that might be easier to apprehend but without some of the quality of life additions of the later games?

@TJC04 As it connects like a pro controller, it should work just as well in tabletop mode.

@Nemodius What's your wife phone number?

This is better than christmas or sex or anything in between

A furry fever dream, finally

I see everything has been said multiple times, then.

@darkswabber Koei said it had "almost" all the DLC without details (yet). My guess is the missing DLCs are probably the collaboration set, like the 7up armor. source: https://twitter.com/koeitecmoeurope/status/1054356704748625920

@Mando44646 If they didn't manage to fix the framerate, it's possible they won't bother to release it in the west

December 27th is a weird release date for a PS3 re-re-release but at least it's here.

I hope this means we'll get the other Japan-only re-re-releases (DW8 Empires, SW Spirit of Sanada and WO3 Ultimate) soon.

Dark Cloud?
Rogue Galaxy?
If I remember correctly both received a re-release on PS4 a few years back...

So many different gamecube controllers are coming our way in the upcoming weeks... So many that I don't want to preorder and wait to see which ones are the most comfortable (it's gonna be the Nintendo ones right?)

I love how most rhythm games just find their own musical niche.

@Shane76 "miscreants"
Holy crap, do you know what that word means? Do I have to kneel to my God VidyaGame?
This over the top behaviour against imaginary enemies is crazy talk.
This whole thread is one big strawman argument when we're just talking about an over zealous company which [checks notes] deleted a cigar.

You guys are insane, just take a step back and calm down.

@Tasuki This has nothing to do with social justice and if you think that's the case, you need to take a step back.
Zen Pinball made something weird and probably dumb to keep their rating at the ESRB, not to please an imaginary group of people who want to ruin video games for real men.
Come on.

So... do you guys think those could have analog triggers?

I can't wait to buy every wii fit activity individually.
Anyway, I hope there's a lot to do in this game, because I won't buy it for [checks notes] instrumental versions of 2011 hits.

@Bosh_Factory Oh I had no idea!
That means without a clear new rev model, it's harder for common people to find a hackable switch in the wild, I guess.
Thanks for the heads up!

Now that's one way to understand the rumors on hardware revisions.

The Game card case is pretty cute if you don't already have one in your switch case.
But with only three slots, you wouldn't use it beyond that, though.

Steamworld Tower Defense VR basically confirmed
(I'm kidding)
(or am I)

I'm so happy with Downwell, I hope it will play fine with the upcoming flipgrip as I loved playing it vertically on the vita.

But yeah. Nice collection of games you've got on Switch, Devolver. Yes. No one's missing now. Not a critically acclaimed series about phones and Miami, nope. No. (please)

@Ralek85 I totally agree. The ranking system is what made me underuse some types of units (who has time to heal or repair with an A rank?), and that's just too bad.

Nintendo: You need to ask us if you want older games to NOT support cloud saves.

2K: okay

Nintendo: So for example, if you've got any reasons like... just tell us

2K: cool

Nintendo: like I don't know, 5GB save files or anything

2K: I'll think about it

Someone should tell Nintendo HQ that "Direct" doesn't necessarily mean "never-ending stream"

@GKO900 People like things you don't like. It's a good thing.

I don't get why you would try such a risky situation just a few weeks BEFORE the cloud saving feature.
Enjoy restarting BOTW I guess. Yahaha, you found me

Wait, are those 2D sprites ? This looks terrific.

If they manage to keep the same song listing, this is huge.

"masahiro sakurai isn't concerned".
> doubt.jpg
The guy's middle name is "concerned"

Who could have guessed where those guys are going when Steamworld Tower defense released on the DSi.
Can't wait for their next venture.

Does anyone know when the embargo for Wolfenstein 2 drops ?

I'm glad I clicked on the trailer. That's all I can say.

So we would lose the nice screen to a cheap and tiny one... and we don't even get a dpad.
For retro games.
Yeah... I don't think the appeal of the Switch is the single joy-con playstyle...

Yoshi's full name revealed as Yoshi Wazowski.

Too bad there isn't any big international press conference in June where they could have announced it.

No VirtualBoy version, no buy

@kobashi100 Well, that JP eshop account will receive some love, then.

@Anti-Matter http://taiko.wikia.com/wiki/Taiko_no_Tatsujin:_Nintendo_Switch_Version!#Songs_list

The anime part is incredible: Evangelion, One Piece 1st OP, Pop team Epic, Yokai Watch, Moana, and Kamen Rider Build.
But even better:
Jump Up Superstar from Super Mario Odyssey.
Oh boy oh boy oh boy

So... worldwide release soon or is it just an english patch for asian release like we've seen for other games in the past ?

Either way it's incredible news.
Now it's even harder to stop myself from buying that beautiful Tatacon...

If the triggers aren't analog, it's just for show.
Pretty cool if we do get some Gamecube classics on the eshop though.

Walmart site manager: "Gotta post fast !"

@Dr_Corndog Make an account where the game is cheaper, then. Or wait for an eshop sale, they are way more frequent than in the 3DS/Wii U era.

If you compare those to what you would get with 70 coins on the Switch eshop, those are really great.
