I'm playing the first one now. First time I booted it up, I hated it.

While on the toilet this past weekend, I tried it again-- and I AM LOVING IT! Love the skirmishes with all the powers. Really feels like what I used to love about Farcry.

Really excited to see 2 and 3.

Pumped! Great game that I beat but not 100%-ted. Want to beat the new content and maybe 100% on Swirch

Wind it up on Switch

Now you have the twine for it

Not launch, but only two weeks after

Binding of Isaac

Game blew my mind and was perfect on switch. After 140 hours of Zelda, I poured in 80 hours in BOI

Long as it’s just cosmetic, I’m in. Game looks great. Ubisoft really has some of the best and most amazing artists in the game working on skins. I was blown away by Assassins Creed Odyssey skins. Loved the god-themed sets.

The exp boosts and gold bug me though.

Do we actually know what Bowsers Fury is?

@ChromaticDracula I thought it was nipple hardness.

You know, stability improvements

@neufel the sign will now read “there never was a Galaxy 2”

Prays for Mario 128

This game is 100% me

Fire Emblem: Three Houses.

Just so damn good.

Actually really like the original Crysis. Really underrated gameplay to go with its graphics. The first one was actually really solid.

I may pick this up. Probably not at launch because $30 and I'm already neck-deep in games, but in a month or two it should drop to 10-20 and it may be a nice pickup.

It's never bad to have an excess of games. That way you always have something to play and always some cheap games to pick up on sale when they get cheap

Ys 8 may be my favorite rpg on Switch

Really looking forward to 9

I was disappointed by EAs offerings on Switch. Then I looked for EA IPs I’d want on Switch and I think I’m just disappointed in EA.

Other than old BioWare stuff like KOTOR and the Sims, what do they even have that I want to play?

@Steven_the_2nd yeah game looks amazing. The original had the motion blur turned to 11. Handheld looks identical to Xbox 360 at 720p. It’s not an upscaled 400p like some games. It’s just motion blur

Inject it in my veins!

Dear Pokémon,

Please make the next game totally wild like the wild area in the base game and these two expansions and then some light level scaling.

Thank you

It looks gorgeous. Love a game with a strong style. If it plays well, I may need it.

Really excited for this. Took me a while but the new wild area actually really hooked me and is the best thing about Sword/Shield. Glad they expanded on that for the two expansions and actually hope that they expand the whole system and make the next Pokémon game completely wild zone

This game is a blast. Simple but really fun. They can definitely improve performance, but I had a lot of fun with it. Loved the levels. Loved the gearing. Loved the item enchantment system. 8/10 in my book. 6 is way too low

So Portia meets Animal Crossing?

I don’t want a Pokémon clone. I just want Pokémon to be better.

@mesome713 it’s really good!

Now I want...

A new paper Mario like OG style
Paper Metroid
Paper Zelda
Paper Donkey Kong
Paper Mother
Paper Wario Ware
Paper Fire Emblem
Paper Golden Sun
Paper Punch-out

Whoa boy, I am so excited for this one. AC had gotten a bit stale, but still had the love for it.

Island setting. Amazing
Way more stuff to do.
No IAP. Awesome.
Love the sense of adventure and exploration.

I literally live for and dream about camping and fort-building and island hopping. This game seems so perfect.

@iLikeUrAttitude Astral and Daemon aren’t even RPGs. Why do you think they should be nominated for best RPG ahead of Pokemon? Rest of the games weren’t even playable for press and thus aren’t nominated

@KazooieTooie cyberpunk was amazing but they only showed a one hour gameplay video. Press need free access to play the game for it to be eligible for any of these awards.

Otherwise it would have cleaned up for best in show, best PC game, best adventure game, etc

Really good game. Waited until it came out on Switch. Beat it and the DLC in two weeks. This seems cool but REALLY late— particularly for PS4 owners

One a month with a couple of true all stars a year is all I’m asking.

June had Wolfenstein, Tennis, and Ys 8
July will have Octopath and Captain Toad
August will have Overcooked and Dark souls?
September has Valkyria 4 and maybe more but they didn’t even touch it.

Nintendo’s E3 was lame— not because they don’t have games but because they didn’t sell all the cool ones. I even love Pokémon and Smash and I was disappointed.

Cmon Nintendo, sell the good games you have — and surprise me. Maybe Yoshi and another WiiU port or two. Announce Animal Crossing and a date for Bayonetta

Admittedly I don’t use the dock and baby both mine but I’ve played many 4-6 hour sessions on mine and I’ve never had any issues. No cracking, no screen scratches (I even left the screen protector off for my second one and the screen is SOLID)

Feel bad for those with the issues and not going to pretend to be an expert by telling them they did something wrong but as a handheld both of mine have performed like champs.

@Optimumjay it’s called Bloodstained

Can another company release one? Absolutely. They can use the Tegra X1 which is halfway between the 360 and Xbox One in terms of power (and also what the Switch uses). They can even use the Tegra X2, which is slightly more powerful than the PS4 in terms of tflops. They absolutely can make their own device based on those or similar architectures.

Digital Foundry, however, is talking about miniaturizing the architecture of a PS4, which is different. They absolutely can produce an energy-efficient hybrid console as powerful as the PS4, but they’d have to recompile or write new software for it.

I wish they’d made that clearer.

@ekwcll Online is awesome. Allowing friends to watch you play over the internet is awesome (just like I'd watch my friends do amazing things on their NESs back in the day). Uploading saves is awesome. Not re-buying Mario 3 for the third console is awesome.

This doesn’t mean no retro games
This doesn’t mean no retro games

It just means older first party get released with the subscription
Newer first party get remastered like DKTF
Third party continue to be released like Megaman collection, and the Arcade Classics

Played and beat Doom when it launched. Excellent port. A little janky on framerate at first. Came back to beat it a second time two weeks ago post-patch and it runs butter-smooth and much closer to a locked 30. I adore that game. Looking forward to Panic Button applying what they learned from Doom to this.

Yassssss

4/24 - South Park
5/4 - Donkey Kong (never played on WiiU)
5/18 - Little Nightmares
5/?? - West of Loathing
6/22 - Mario Tennis
6/29 - Wolfenstein
6/29 - Inside
Q2 - Lumines remaster (second only to Tetris)
Q2 - Bloodstained - a little Castlevania back on Nintendo
Q2 - Firewatch - got it free on PS4 and liked it but never had time for it. Perfect game for a road trip. Oxenfree and night in the Woods were enhanced by playing during bus/car/plane trips. I assume the same for this one.

Who says there is a lull? That's actually a solid lineup. Probably too much game to play and too little time with which to finish it.

My 200 is almost full and will be once I get Kirby, DK, and Dark Souls so I’ll be looking for more in May/June.

Just have to decide between the waiting for a price cut on the 400 and the release of the 512. The idea of having all of those games on Switch turns me on so much. The cost of these right now? Ouch

1- Zelda
2- Mario
3 - Stardew
4 - Golf Story
5 - Doom
6 - Mario and Rabbids

@geox30 it’s strange, FO3 was my favorite of all time. The micromanagement of FO4 killed it for me on PS4, but might actually be a delight on Switch.

I have too many good games on my system already and just bought Night in the Woods, but still interested in Kirby, Payday, and DQ Builders. The latter looked great and was well recommended. Demo pushed me over the line. Really fun.

FInal Fantasy X/X2 confirmed

THIS is ping to be the year of the third party

Pokemon and Metroid will be 2019. Maybe Fire Emblem too

Smash port, Kirby, Yoshi from Mario. Nothing as big as Mario and Zelda with Kart and Splatoon. (if there even is anything that rivals that). LOTS of third party though.

I am a believer. Fallout 4, Persona ports, new Shin Megami, new and ported Bayonetta, Dark Souls, GTAV, and hundreds of great indies.

@Tibob I would die for a Mario Golf game after how delightful and addictive Golf Story was. Same for Advance Wars after Tiny Metal, although I wasn’t as taken with that clone.

I’d also die for Sports Resort 2. It’s funny, after a year, I fell out of love with the Wii, but now I miss those original motion games.

My predictions:

Pikmin 4 - gameplay trailer. No announce date. Announce date released at E3 to be holiday 2018. Almost done for WiiU, but was held off for Switch.
Smash - WiiU port with all DLC and three new characters and two new modes. Coming May with the new online service
Kirby - February release date. Lots of gameplay
Yoshi - named, more gameplay shown. June release date
Pokemon - teased. Maybe 1-2 seconds of footage and a title. Will not release until 2019
Fire Emblem - Gameplay shown. name revealed. August release.
Mega Man 11 - shown off with some gameplay
Dragonquest shown. No release date announced until E3 event. Will make late 2018
Metroid Prime 4 - Gameplay shown (20-30 seconds). No release date. Ends up releasing early 2019
Wolfenstein - gets CG trailer and March release date. Playable at events, but gameplay not shown at Direct
Bayonetta - lots of gameplay shown for 1/2/3

5-6 Nindies are highlighted
2-3 other third party games announced without footage or trailers
Doctor Mario, SMB3, Balloon Fight announced for the online service. They announce that 2-3 will come each month including SNES, but won't name them until late Feb. March we get Mario World and SMB2.

Animal Crossing, Mario RPG/Paper Mario, Luigi's Mansion - all no-shows

@electrolite77 I do and don’t pretend otherwise.

Dear Nintendo,

Please bring all your NES, SNES, N64, GC, and Wii VC games to Switch at your earliest convenience. It can do all of them. Just make it happen.

Then continue bringing all the WiiU games out on it (Mario 3D world, Smash, Pikmin, etc.) Havung the entire Nintendo catalogue on a mobile console would be the best thing in the universe.

Signed,
All the Switch fans

@MoonKnight7 I hope so too. I actually backed the game so I've been waiting for a long time. In February when the other console versions were getting released, I changed my reward to Switch and I've been waiting since then.

Sounds like the version that launched in April was a complete mess. Glad they had time to refine the gameplay. 900/600 is a little disappointing, but if it runs a smooth 60 or even a consistent 30, I'll be happy. Sounds like the wait will at least help the gameplay. Now here's hoping that it isn't a choppy mess with dropped frames and bad frame timings like Rime.
