@AtlanteanMan Agreed. I personally only enjoyed Yoshi's Island and Singapore Speedway.

Can't even play the Scream Park games wireless or online, it's really quite disappointing.

Still waiting for a hard mode / New Game + there is almost no reason for me to go back to the story mode 1 and 2 were far more repayable and enjoyable for me.

I know I am late to report this but this runs worse than the 3DS entries for some ungodly reason, I don't know why. It drops frames quite a bit and that really irritates me.

I wish more console games would get some kind of add-on support like this.

The Chad Cadence of Hyrule VS the Virgin Luigi's Mansion 3.

CoH: A good challenge even for seasoned gamers. Endlessly replayable. Drops free content update like it's nothing, offering an Octavo Story Mode and a Dungeon Mode. It also added lots of achievements and other options in the previous update.

LM3: Way too easy even for casuals. Not much to come back to after you 100% it. Pre purchase paid DLC for costumes and multiplayer content split up into two parts which wont be released for some time yet.

Now both are very different games and are good in their own ways but LM3 is yet another 1st party Switch release I am disappointed in. Also Switch games should be $40 at the most, the $60 price point for most 1st party titles is absurd. I can get way more playtime and enjoyment from cheaper games like CoH compared to LM3. Smash, BoTW, and Odyssey are the only major first party releases worth the price IMO.

Positives:
The game is visually impressive. The achievements system was a smart inclusion. The fact that most objects have their own physics is great fun. I love how each floor has its own unique theme. Game has a solid length; it took me about 16 hours on my first play through.

Negatives:
The gems are far too easy to get in this game compared to 1 & 2. Feels designed with 2 players in mind and sometimes is a slog playing alone. Money is mostly pointless in Story and completely useless in Multiplayer (compare to LM2 where Collecting money would upgrade your tools in both modes). No Hidden Mansion or New Game Plus. No ghost descriptions... this one really upsets me as I enjoyed reading about the ghosts in 1 & 2. Why not have an option to purchase a ghost's description? That could have been a way to spend your money but, sadly, the money is primarily for a rank at the end (as well as 3 types of lame items). The rank doesn't mean much because you can just go back to your same file after beating it and come back to the last floor and beat the boss after collecting more money to get the best rank, so there isn't much purpose in starting a new game.

Sorry, got a bit ranty but overall there are some decent design choices mixed with a LOT of questionable ones.

HM 1 & 2 always looked interesting to me and I meant to buy them on PC but some years have passed. I guess I just forgot and was distracted by other games. I will finally get to experience these for the first time

My joy-cons that came with my Switch were the neon blue and red and neither one has any issues. Not sure if it's worth mentioning but my younger brother's black, left joy-con has the drift issue but not his other black nor his neon blue and red that came with his. I'm wondering if this issue is somehow more common in certain color variants or perhaps when they were manufactured?

@BlueBlur101 No I don't want to ruin my screen nor have any actual physical objects obscure my screen or make marks on it when I'm trying to build levels. There really is no reason it shouldn't be a changeable setting in the first place. Even that port of Scribblenauts had optional touch controls and didn't force you to use them in handheld. I know you can take the joy-cons off and play it in tabletop but I don't want to have to do that and prop it up somewhere.

I've been using my original joy cons since I got my Switch 2 years ago, haven't experienced this issue even once. I am very fortunate with this as I usually have such bad luck and get these sorts of tech/device issues.

SMM2 is pissing me off for two major reasons: The online play is unbearably laggy and it's a shame because you have to pay for Nintendo's horrid online service and even worse than that YOU HAVE TO USE TOUCH CONTROLS IN HANDHELD MODE - this killed my enjoyment for this game. Never trust Nintendo to do anything right they're out of touch in their hardware, software, AND network departments.

Smash Bros. every day every year all of the time for the rest of time.

After playing all of the SteamWorld games, Heist STILL has to be my favorite. I want a sequel sooo bad...

@Haywired The core Smash gameplay is the best it's ever been and that's all it really needs IMO anything else is just a bonus.

K figured as much but I would take a revamped Smash Run over any other mode.

Um, okay? None of this offends me or anything. I mean if it works for Nintendo why not try it for themselves?

Once Smash Ultimate comes out, I probably won't play any other game unless a new Animal Crossing game comes out. Even then i'd still split my time equally with the two. I <3 Smash.

I love Red Dwarf and this video.

All the Fortnite news and guides bother me and I would rather see less of that stuff. I also dislike (on twitter) the retweeting of the same news and articles that I've already read.

I still like the site, been checking it regularly for a long while and I think I always will.

So long as it's faster than sm4sh and is without the tripping of Brawl, I'm good.

Cool, but I still don't enjoy the game nor will I buy anything within it.

My Nintendo is garbage, I want to scream and cry. Why can't we get full Switch games or decent rewards with our points instead of paltry discounts on 3DS and Wii U games? At the very least, gold points should be worth 2 cents on the eShop rather than only 1.

I don't think there was too much Smash and yeah I love Smash but I kinda really wished there was a new Animal Crossing.

Imagine if that were all... that would be really lame

@Haywired Yeah, although there were a few top notch DSiWare titles like this, Trajectile, and Starship Defense. I got all of these for free from Club Nintendo anyway.

Even though Dig 2 is a much longer and mechanically superior to the first, I still really enjoy the first one and feel that it has more replay value as it's mines are procedurally generated. I played through Dig 2 once and have tried to play through a second time, but I just can't get into it again. I have around 250 hours logged on the original on 3DS and only about 20 on Dig 2.

I sincerely hope they're planning to release an enhanced Sm4sh port and or a new Smash on the switch this year or at least within the next few years.

**** this service, it's TERRIBLE.

loved Dig and loooooved Heist, so I hope their next game is Heist 2.

I heard the underground isn't randomly generated like it is in the first game. That really hurts replayability in my opinion, the game still looks like a fun and wild ride though.

Megamix was my first Rhythm Heaven game and I had a blast with it! I certainly hope it (as well as Warioware) make a return on the switch.

Wait... actual full games?!? This is unbelievable; maybe hope is not lost.

I guess I'll be getting these as there is NOTHING else worth getting and my points are all gonna be expired soon.

I'd much rather get Mania than this...

YES. YES. YES!!! I've been hoping that this would come out soon.

I'm kind of mixed between emotions. I'm happy for a sequel to dig but kind of disappointed that they didn't have a new concept.

All of these rewards are for games I already have or for games I couldn't care less for.

The game is 100% not on the eShop anymore for some reason.

@MitchVogel It's waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than Earthbound. It has a much deeper and unique story and the battling mechanics are more involved and fun rather than just being a chore to fight enemies. you can land combo attacks by timing your attacks to specific enemy rhythms and the whole hp clock thing goes down slower allowing you to actually use healing items rather than just having someone in your party die. Also, the game's not at that weird isometric angle that Earthbound was so the game looks and feels more real.

2016 wasn't a great year for Nintendo or me. I hope 2017 will be better for the both of us

Anyone know what those black lines that kept appearing in the 3DS SMW style were?

WHEN?!?!?!

I'm trying to start a new town and I can't for the life of me get one with a good layout. There's too many rocks, river is in a bad spot, too many ponds, clustered houses, buildings blocking areas. etc. I know nobody will believe me but... over the course of 3 months I've started the game up around 2000 times to start a new town that fits my requirements. I've cycled through 4 maps each time, typically choosing one that has a decent layout only to find that in person it's features are greatly flawed. I seriously wish there was a way you could design the layout of your town instead of it being randomly generated.

I don't even understand why this is a thing. Who is this for???

I can't seem to find this anywhere on the eShop. Could someone explain to me where it has gone?

I won't need to worry about weeds because my town no longer exists. The game took the liberty of corrupting itself for me. Thanks game! (this is obviously sarcasm, I'm not happy, I'm pissed beyond any extent you could ever understand)

WHY NINTENDO?! I have no money and I already own most of the discounted games. At least with Club Nintendo you could download full games with your coins.

This game is sorta fun, but man has it aged terribly.

It was originally a cart and it did corrupt once with that so after that incident I started my second town. Later in the year, I got a downloadable version from Club Nintendo when I was at platinum status so I transferred my second town from my cartridge onto the downloaded version. Then after a few months, it corrupted out of nowhere. So then, I started my third town and had it for quite a long while until I transferred my old 3DS XL data to my New 3DS XL and all of my software, system memory, and all that stuff was there (or so I thought, because like an idiot I didn't check my animal crossing) and so I added some eShop balance and bought some games. Then a few days later I wanted to play some ACNL and discovered my town data did not carry over. I still had to wait a couple days for a system transfer (and still do) and now I don't know whether to try the system transfer process again or if it will erase my newly downloaded games and eShop balance... so I'm kind of in a bad situation.

and no, neither my new or old system is modded in any way, shape, or form. I also had not altered the data of my cartridge or downloaded version.
