I think that there might be some changes to the major and minor leagues in SW/SH. Could be interesting if the gyms rotate a bit allowing players from both games to experience all of them.
I would like to see some of the classic Pokemon games on Switch.
Seems a bit short sighted to me. I would expect that the Witcher fanbase will primarily come from the games. I am a fan because of the games and whilst I am an avid reader I haven't to date read the books. On the flipside they are being honest to the source material but I can imagine some fans will be put off. My biggest gripe...where is the second sword!!! I am however, looking forward to the series and excited to see the direction it will take. I'll probably read the books as well.
Simply amazing! I completed the main campaign on PC a number of years ago but didn't play the expansions.
Loading this up on Switch I am remembering what an amazing game it is. Playing in handheld you barely notice the downgrade in graphics as this is such an immersive game that brings you into the story from the off!
If only it could have docked I would have considered trading my current switch in for this one. I use a pro controller when docked and can't remember the last time I actually removed a JoyCon. A real shame!
Can't wait for this one. Completed it on PC but never did the expansions so looking forward to another play through! CD Projekt Red are legends for even attempting this! And in 1 cartridge. Bodes well for more future ports (Cyberpunk?!)
@BanjoPickles I don't get your comment. I'm playing through assassin's creed III at the moment and it is really enjoyable. No slow downs, probably my only complaint is the audio at times but really enjoying it.
@geox30 I was gaming in the 90s, low frame rates, terrible controls and graphical glitches were common place. Makes me pretty much immune to it as long as it sits stable at 30 and above I'm happy.
I bought this game on Steam years ago but never really got into it or finished it. Bought it for switch on day 1 and have nearly completed it already.
I've been playing an equal split between handheld and docked and haven't once noticed any FPS issues.
This is really fun to play and suits the switch form factor. If stealth games are your thing then this is a must. Just Oxygen not included to go now... Please Klei!
This is tragic! Dreadful on the iPhone and looks dreadful here. Stardew Valley has raised this bar so high and yet it is a mobile port they release first. Makes no sense to me. Give us a proper Harvest Moon or Rune Factory!
Sensationalist headlines again. No mention of Switch support in the beta, so no disappointment from this owner. Glad they updated the story but feel as though they should update the title as well.
@Galenmereth Thanks for the update! I've just completed it myself and loved every minute! You are right the motion controls aren't actually necessary but I still hold to the fact the I would drop a mark for the control scheme. Playing in handheld/controller mode you are unable to utilise all of the great moves that Mario has at his disposal.
Still playing this! So relaxing and time consuming. A perfect choice for Switch. Odyssey took me away from it but I have completed that now so more farming till Friday...SKYRIM!!!! (to be completed for the 8th time but this time in handheld!)
What I don't understand is that the reviewer mentions the motion control system is not ideal in handheld mode and not intuitive using a pro controller but still gives it a solid 10. I play primarily in handheld mode and the motion controls are really bad! There aren't even alternative button combinations to recreate the same functions such as throwing Cappy upwards!!
@roadrunner343 I agree with you here. I am primarily a handheld player and the motion controls really don't suit this playstyle. It would be fine if there was an alternative button combination but the only way to throw cappy upward is to use motion controls. Whilst the game is brilliant and great fun to play, controller issues such as this should have cost the score at least 0.5.

Re: No Man's Sky Will Launch As A "Single-Player Experience" On Switch
I'm a very antisocial gamer anyway who prefers single player. Looking forward to this one dropping as I am a massive fan! Hope it performs.
