Oh I'll pick this up physically. This was out on the 3ds right? Yup, I'll buy. Hopefully it comes to Europe so I don't have to import, it's not a problem, just takes longer to arrive from the states.
@Fazermint omg I'm exactly the same! I'm holding off on eshop buys to see if they come physically. I know the switch works better as a download system and it is very handy having all your smaller games on an SD card, but, I want a cart for nearly everything.
@OorWullie yeah I'm thinking the same. But again, it's very rare I'd take up the discount offer on release, but that would be me, can't speak for others really.
I wonder when Devs will start to notice a decline in sales from release, if not already
I'm starting to wonder, are indie Devs ACTUALLY making money at this point? Like, the eshop must be flooded with games now, ( mostly excellent games) too many maybe?
Who's buying a few games from there each week? I'm not. Last summer I bought a couple, but sticking with physical mostly now if games get them.
Just seems like a bit of a bubble for indies on the switch ATM. Maybe that's what EA are waiting to see what happens there.
I'd say they will release an updated Switch with full backwards compatibility every 2 years or so. That's how you keep the name going. Unless, god forbid, it turns into the Wii brand, which I doubt it will (fingers crossed).
Literally 4 of my friend, who are not mad into gaming at all just bought a Switch each over the past week. Nintendo are killing it! I am pleased cause now I have even more real life friends who love mario kart lol. One even bought BotW. I'm pleased
Maybe this is the best way to do VC on the Switch? Get the 3rd party companies to release them as stand alone games. Nintendo could just release their own back cat on on bumper filled carts and downloads.
I only softmod a console when the next gen is released. WiiU is modded, it's great!
I emulate all systems on my pc up to ps2/Wii as ps360 is still not great at all, tough systems to get running so that'll be a few more years. But I use steam etc. for last gen 3rd party games, so..
WiiU on pc is good, but you cants use gamepad on pc (yet) so I'll prob never properly use Cemu. Same with Citra.
As for the Switch, I'll keep my eye on this but I won't be hacking it for some years. Nintendo will still get my cash for a few years yet.
I really don't see the problem with hacking, modding, emulating old/last gen systems. Companies made their money and have moved on to the next system. It's a VERY small minority that will try this with the switch at the moment anyway.
But yeah, nintendo is right to send out an update to try block this. It's just part of gaming now a days.
@Julien lol, I'm Irish, in Ireland and I'm fully aware that Ireland is NOT part of the UK.
I ask, because we don't have charts in Ireland, for games at least, last I heard, so I always presume, since most of our shops here in Ireland are UK companies, that they include the sales from here as we would be a very small percentage wise.
It's never clear. That's why I ask every now and then.
Remember a few years back? Maybe just before or just after the wiiu launched, there was word that Capcom was up for sale, and it was very highly hinted that Nintendo were interested. Man I wish that happened. But it didn't.
I see the same with this, no way would it ACTUALLY happen. I'd see Disney buy EA before MS. Disney own everything, lol.
Man, you guys at NL are REALLY pushing this Labo thing. It's like Pokémon game is being released or something, but nothing has been physically released yet.
Guess I'll leave NL for a few weeks or something, I just have no interest in it at all. I'm sure it'll do very well, and kids will love it, but, meh.
@Paperboy same, I have no love for the N64, I wasn't gaming then tbh, I went back to mario64 a few years later, good game, but other games really haven't ages well at all.
Mini Gameboy/Color I'd hop on. And then of course, a mini GBA. Money to be made!

Re: Psyvariar Restoration Brings More Shmup Goodness To Switch This Year
@nintendolife 'Psyvariar was ported to the PlayStation 3 in 2003'
That's mighty impressive, seeing as it was 3 years early, lol.
I'll probably pick this up if it comes to the west, and gets a physical release. Love me some Shmups!

Re: Feature: Nintendo Life's Top Ten eShop Games From Switch's First Year
Will shovel knight get a physical release' in the future? With all the extras for the Switch?
I put SV as my top. Put more hours into it than any other game including Zelda, which, I got bored after 50hours tbh.
Re: Shock Horror! Outlast: Bundle Of Terror Is Out Now On The eShop

Just a thought.
Re: Spanish Retailer Lists Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy for Switch, Fuels Rumours
Have it PS4 since launch and I STILL haven't played it. So if it does come to the Switch, it'll probably be a pass from me.
Re: Review: Fe (Switch eShop)
I'll wait for a sale
Re: Nintendo Download: 15th February (North America)
Feck it, might as well use my US account and nab LoF from the eshop. Not waiting till next week.
Re: Review: Layers Of Fear: Legacy (Switch eShop)
Hmm, if it's €15 at launch, or less I'll bite. It's been out for a while on other systems and I have it on PS4 already.
Re: Nintendo Believes That The Switch Could Sell Beyond The Usual 5-6 Year Console Life Cycle
I'd say they will release an updated Switch with full backwards compatibility every 2 years or so. That's how you keep the name going. Unless, god forbid, it turns into the Wii brand, which I doubt it will (fingers crossed).

Re: Data East Makes Its Debut On Switch Next Week With Gate Of Doom

I like this idea.
Re: Hackers Get Linux Running On Switch And Claim Nintendo Can't Patch The Exploit
I only softmod a console when the next gen is released. WiiU is modded, it's great!

Re: Switch Surpasses Wii U Lifetime Sales in UK, But Its Dominance Isn't As Strong As Elsewhere
@Julien lol, I'm Irish, in Ireland and I'm fully aware that Ireland is NOT part of the UK.

It's never clear. That's why I ask every now and then.
Re: Switch Surpasses Wii U Lifetime Sales in UK, But Its Dominance Isn't As Strong As Elsewhere
Does this UK record include Irish sales also?
Re: Feature: Behind The Scares With Layers Of Fear: Legacy's Bloober Team
I got this when it originally came to the PS4. The FPS were so bad I could only play an hour. Then never went back.
I presume this will be at 60fps on the switch? If not, it's a hard pass from me.
