@dkxcalibur totally agree. If they fix the game I def recommend a purchase especially if on sale. Sims are hard to find on Switch and this is one of the best (when working) as long as 20-30 fps and lower res is ok. Portability is great though
@Tourtus I'm guessing it's a Nintendo thing why they haven't released anything as of yet. Treating it like one of their AAA games and they'll show it first in a Direct.
This game is fantastic. Haven't enjoyed a baseball sim this much in years. Love that I can play it portable on my Switch then upload to cloud and finish up on the Series S
Great list and I saw a few here I'll have to check out. You guys 100% missed on not including Hard West on this list. Game has great X-Com style strategy with a western-devilish theme. Must play for strategy fans.
I think this is a great app. One of the few online features Nintendo has done really well. I monitor both of my boys and see what each are playing and restrict specific rated games.
Why not patch it in after the fact? Developers have day one patches that have been much larger in size (Doom & Wolfenstein). Its really not a big issue for me but I bought the game for my 5 & 8 yr old kids and they would have loved it and watched it multiple times.
@Haywired Respect your opinion but couldn't disagree more. Remember Rare took reigns of the DK franchise and did wonders. Metroid has been sent to a 2nd party (Prime trilogy) and 3rd party (portable versions). Not saying every game has been a smash hit but it means more games from the franchises I love so I'll take it.
@sword_9mm lol. True that. I've been blemished with the 30 < fps first person shooters I've played on the system but those are obviously much more graphically intense than a Quake engine game
God I hope this is decent. NES Baseball can only take things so far. I like the new features they are adding but it will come down to gameplay. Scary that the preview was all CGI and no actual gameplay though.
Disappointed but if the game is better for it I'm aboard. I have a lengthy backlog of games I still need to beat so no biggie. I do think If Nintendo would at least throw us Metroid fans a bone and re-release a Prime Trilogy in HD it would hold us over for another 2-3 years (and maybe a remastered 2D version too)
Soooo I have a 7 yr old that is super into Dinosaurs right now so far $8 it might be worth a shot plus we can play co-op together. I'll see if there are any reviews out there first before jumping in.
@KazooieTooie completely disagree. With hardware upgrades, system price drops and killer games it should happen. You don't think this system will sell like crazy when its $199 or $150. We are only in year two and this is now Nintendos only console. 3DS sold 70+ million and Switch is far superior to it. I'll report back to you in two years and we'll see where we are at 😀
Don't agree with Reggie here. I do love the fact that Nintendo marches to the beat of its own drummer but the phone app idea is horrible. Switch needs to be an all-in-one setup.They need to try to move on from this ASAP but my guess is it won't happen until the next hardware upgrade (hopefully). And where are my Netflix, Youtube and Amazon apps? Hulu works great on the machine and this would make it more attractive for buyers.
Switch will be at 20+ million in 3-4 years in japan, will get close to 3DS numbers. I think it has a shot at 100 million worldwide but it will def need some killer games especially exclusives for it to get that close. Never count the big N out!
No. Nintendo spreads its resources too thin when they have to support multiple systems. Focus on Switch for the next 2-3 years then release an updated version with more ram, stronger chip set and dual screen that is backwards compatible. That is my hope anyway. Would also love to see them buy a couple more studios, one in the east and one in the west to help get more software support. Wish Retro was putting out more but that seems like a lost cause at this point.
@westman98 loved the demo. Agree I hope it does well. Want to see Mario Strikers, Golf and even something unexpected like bowling but Tennis sales will probably determine if those happen.
@Rayquaza2510 I was talking about first party games specifically. I should have been more detailed with my comment. Agree 3rd party needs to charge the extra for licensing but first and second party offerings should be cheaper digitally. In fact they should be cheaper than even blu-ray because of zero manufacturing costs.
I love Nintendo but they definitely bend their fans over whenever possible. Agree with most commenters here that $50 is way too much for a puzzle game. On that note they should also only be charging $50 for their digital releases and $60 for physical copies to make up for extra card costs. In saying all this I'll still buy most of their 1st & 2nd party games

Re: R.B.I. Baseball 19 Steps Up To The Plate On Switch Next Month
