A lot of these publishers could move significantly more quantity if they didn't hit such high price points. 30 bucks is too steep to risk on an experiment. $5-15 is my sweet "impulse" range.
These arcade classics could be validated in my mind if they include some interesting interfaces, cabinet concept art, etc. If they skimp on presentation though, it's gonna be a tough sell for me.
This update might just bring this game up to "actual game" status, instead of $10 beta demo. The only functioning mode in the game so far is choppy online against the only one other person online.
To echo other's sentiments, my only regretted switch purchase so far.
The Metroid paradox has never been more clear then in message boards-- "we want a new Metroid! Make it good!" In comes new Metroid, it's better than good. "Eh, I'll wait to see if this comes out for the Switch". Yes, this game could look rad on the Switch, but a port would be years away--if ever! And only then if this game produces numbers now.
From a design standpoint I actually prefer the minimalist original, but hey, props to the studio for listening. Conversely, buckling to popular opinions too often can lead to generic-town.
The micro SD market is an ambiguous one for most consumers as you'll notice in Amazon reviews. This is literally just packaging saying "compatible and efficient with your Switch" and hey, that's fine. It's basically a partnership in store placement location and consumer clarity signified with a splash of art.
Trial of the Sword was nicely fine-tuned. It forced me have to come back to the nuances of cooking. Key info I learned in the trial break rooms: A cooked Hearty Bass, or a Hearty Truffle cooked with a piece of meat is a full heart fill-up dish (sometimes + a heart or two). I couldn't have cleared the hard stages without those.
$10 would be an easy sell for me. Though I may sound a bit curmudgeonly by asking "does a game with this kind of nice clean mechanics need so many modes?" It could potentially dilute the core concept a bit. Ah well. Glad to see it coming soon!
Oh Man! I literally bought an eshop card to get this game last night. Then for no reason decided to hold off. Now they knock off 8 bucks today and I can happily dance over to my Switch and purchase without hesitation. This kind of thing almost always happens in reverse for me.
Nice! I'm overdue for a replay of this. I remember it being really well written. Hope they don't try to charge more than 10 bucks, but considering the minor upgrades I reckon it's likely.
I'm fairly tech-sound, but I actually wish Nintendo would explain these details with the Switch in an enclosed manual. I've been very cautious with my new Switch and there have been several times when I've wondered if I'm operating it 100% correctly.

I'd be all about this if I was an English bloke.

Re: Double Dragon IV is Hitting the Switch eShop Next Week
Loved Double Dragon 2, but considering I could hardly make it through the trailer for this one makes me think it ain't my cup o' punch.
Re: Video: Get Hyped For Metroid: Samus Returns With This Overview Trailer
Also that voice-over feels like it'd be more appropriate in a Home Depot commercial. :b
Re: Roll7 "Considering" Bringing Both OlliOlli Games To Switch
The comment they made is purely tongue in cheek. I think they're very aware of the lingo and poking at other companies, not us. Funny to me anyway.
