....until Nintendo announces it during their presentation, then shadow drops it immediately after.

Wouldn't that be swell?

@DrDaisy it's essentially Japan's version of a slot machine, which makes it all the worse because it means the franchise has devolved into Casino fodder.

The Legend Of Zelda: Modern Dwarf Air 🤓

The Legend Of Zelda: Tomb's Day
(geddit, because Doom's Day but they're searching for a tomb)

The Legend Of Zelda: Return To Calamity
(They seem to have a thing for this word lately, so why not)

Or, The Legend Of Zelda: Hyrule Rising
(geddit, because we see Hyrule literally rising in the trailer)

Yup, definitely one of those. My vote is for Modern Dwarf Air.

JSR's music was phenomenal, so the fact they managed to get the same composer onboard already has me intrigued. Based on the trailer, it looks like they're expanding on the grinding aspect, and nice to see the graffiti mechanics now appear more intricate than a few circles with the analog stick. Keeping an eye on this one; it certainly has promise.

@Bentendo1609 if a game is worth it, as Fez clearly is, less than $15 is a no brainer.

I'm just waiting for the store to go up.
This and Oneshot, then the best past indies on Switch shall be complete!

I think if this was a simple 2d artwork, there wouldn't be a big deal about it, but the fact this artist has the 3d model file for sale insinuates it could be used in a game by someone else at some point, and that is what Nintendo would like to avoid.

Console gaming has been in a bit of a lull, but VR has made great strides in 2020. Dash Dash World is like Mario Kart in VR, and actually good! Population One is a battle Royale, but you can climb and glide across the whole map..all in VR - there's nothing else like it. The medium is still in its infancy, which is rather exciting considering the experiences we have already. The only downside is that Facebook is responsible for most of the growth, but if that's what it takes to get more competitors in the VR field (hello, Nintendo? A bit more than Labo please). VR is only going to get better from here, while console gaming has kind of reached its peak in "wow" factor.

There's a reason Nintendo doesn't remake Mario games - Allstars aside. It's because mainline Mario games are in essence Nintendo's milemarkers in gameplay innovation. The only reason they keep putting out ports is because the fans continually ask for it.

@KateGray here is the actual console release trailer from their Discord.

Subnautica is an incredible game, one of my top 5 of the last 20 years. Seeing how far the devs have come from the early, early access days has been quite admirable. From an underwater sandbox to a fully realized story, what a trip it's been.

I'll gladly triple dip as long as the ports turn out alright. Seems like I've been waiting forever for Below Zero. Glad it's finally around the corner!

@JRJalapeno To be fair, the crafting in this games makes a lot of sense for the narrative, and it's quite a thrill foraging for materials. The vehicles you eventually craft are worth it, and change up the gameplay considerably as you literally dive deeper. Plus the game is beautiful.

Also, I'm not at all biased as my profile pic is fanart I did a while back for the game.

This demo was bad. The mechanics are fundamentally broken. Jumping feels off, there's no weight to the character, there's seemingly no point to what you're doing, the QTE's didn't add anything - and seriously, I thought we were done with QTEs? Who ever thought they were a good idea? - the different abilities is an interesting concept, but executed so poorly... If one of your abilities is lost, and you need it, what then? Backtrack all over the place to find a crystal that HOPEFULLY is holding the one you need at that time? They seem to show up randomly in the crystals, so you could potentially keep getting ones you can't use. What a mess of a game, and this was supposed to be a spiritual successor to Nights? Maybe stick to the 2D plane, Mr. Naka.

Noooo Reggie! Diamond hands! You're supposed to HODL!

This game was SO ADDICTING the first month it was on PSN. Now though, it's impossible to get a match going. They seriously need to consider going free to play for this type of game, or add in a single player mode/campaign. Until that happens, I'll stick with the PSN copy in hopes it's crossplay with the Switch release's surge.

@MeloMan cool thanks ^^
May give it a closer look.

Has anyone picked up Forgotton Anne? I like the art style from trailers, but is the game any good?

I'm glad the majestic goose is finally getting its due in the gaming universe. Looking forward to blasting baddies.

@TheGoddesseshero I feel like they'd be too afraid of accidentally messing with the physics engine to even attempt any sort of fix.

@pixelpatch yes, you use them in tandem! Analog to aim in the general area, then gyro for precision. 😀

@pixelpatch I find the shooting system works just fine on Switch using gyro controls. I couldn't stand it on PS4 using analog to aim, but with gyro you can be much more precise with your shooties.

Yeah, just wait until Giga Bowsette is a thing. Oh wait.

Aesthetically reminds me of Muscle March. Is it the same dev?

Everyone crying about it cheapening the experience is absurd. Have you HEARD the writing? It's cringe already. This just cements the cringe. 😂
I actually find it refreshing they don't take this franchise seriously tbh.

@RhiannonRune @Bearzilla823 Not the Mario Kart you may have wanted, but the Mario Kart we all deserve.

@AnnoyingFrenzy considering the other versions do not have VC, I doubt this one will. People have mostly been relying on Discord for voice chat with this.

Is it an eyesore from a graphic design point? Yes.
Does it bother me at all? Not in the slightest. Too busy playing Age of Calamity to care about a silly home icon. 🤯

With a newborn on the way next year, I'm not sure I'll have time for much gaming aside from a few spurts here and there on the go. So Switch it is.

I was interested to see how PS5's DualSense turns out, but at this moment, I'll opt for a second run model.

I don't understand delaying a game just because a more anticipated game is coming out on OTHER systems. Its not like Cyberpunk is going to be on Switch. Heck, gyro controls has me sold, so I would buy both! Devs take note. Actual effort is rewarded.

I struggle already with storage space on my PS4, and I have to somehow make room yet again once Cyberpunk 2077 comes out. I'm intrigued by this game, but there's no chance it will fit on my ps4. I'll get the cloud demo on Switch just to see how well streamed games work with my internet connection. If the performance is up to snuff, I may bite on a future game or sale, and if I enjoy the demo itself, I may spring for it on a next-gen console.

Outright denying a method to bring a game to the consumer is lunacy. Not every game has to be for you. Options are good! You don't like it? Keep scrolling. There are PLENTY of gaming choices on Switch. I don't understand this obsession with owning games. You pay admission to events and theater films. Do you own those? How many games do you honestly own and come back to years down the pike other than the true classics? Who has all that time??

The only thing I see wrong with this cloud version is the price. Make it half the retail price of a $60 game at least. But again, that's why there's a demo. You can't put a price on something you truly enjoy. If you have a personal limit, wait for a sale. Problem solved.

@AnnoyingFrenzy there is no doubt he will ensure the rest of the team can weather the storm to come. Disgruntled, impatient gamers, not so much.

@Kezza64 simple. The answer is Adventure Mode, which I hope makes a return in this.

@darkswabber keep on scrollin', baby.

Did I hear air horns?! 🤣🤣🤣
I love Suda.

@Kabloop a "simple looking game" made by one person on PC, ported by one other to Switch. Gee, I wonder.

This looks like a 3d Gorogoa. Wonderful little game, but man is it short. Hopefully this has a decent play length.

@TechJunkie69 fusing was in fact a thing you could do in HW. I would often fuse weapons to combine perks/buffs and free up weapon slots. 😃

@Kimyonaakuma that was post-Calamity when everything became weak. Maybe everything was indestructible before then.

Sept 15-17 is turning out to be fight week, what with Fight Crab and this dropping. I'm all about it. Love Hörberg's work. His sense of value is so on point.

Mini Motor X Racing looks wonderful! Finally a top down racer that ALSO allows the option for first person and behind the car?? WITH vehicle combat?? Yes please!

Gibbous looks delightful, as well as quite a few others here. So many potential gems!

Everyone complaining about indies needs to get their heads out of their butts and open their minds. Most AAA is absolute trash these days. Get with the program. You're missing out on some of the best gaming experiences in the last decade at least!

I just picked up Gorogoa for a fiver, but this is def going on my wishlist.

Hope it's good, then we can all forget about 90s Arcade Racer.

@shazbot I mean, it is a score technically speaking. But the music stands alone so well, it could just be considered its own LP ala Animals As Leaders or similar.

@shazbot that "score" was done by Mick Gordon. His Doom 2016 OST is most akin to Nine Inch Nails meets Meshuggah, so Djent meets industrial sans vocals?

Ahh, remember Chibi Robo on fire? Those were the good ol' troll days.

@TG16_IS_BAE Probably as a tournie. Not all at once.

@Electric-Dreams lol loyalty? They're a company. The Wii U was a disaster. I had one, it had some wonderful games, and it sold the worst of all Nintendo consoles. Move on.
If you already have the game, it's not for you (or me). It's for the millions of Switch owners who never had a Wii U and/or never had a chance to play Pikmin 3.
My only hope is they adopted the cursor control ala World Of Goo Switch Edition to make up for no Wiimote/nunchuck option, because that is the best way to experience Pikmin.

Unironically, my most anticipated eshop game along with Carrion this year.

This game's mechanic looks really cool. I picked up Lydia just to snag it. Kind of a no brainer. Looking forward to trying it out. Thanks devs!

Min Min is bae
