I remember playing this game and thinking it was a shame that more people wouldn't experience due to the Wii U not being very popular. It deserves to be on the Switch! And I agree with comments above saying a "complete" or "revised" edition with additional content and some rebalancing would be fantastic. Maybe tweak the Skell combat to be a little more involved. Also they should redo all the faces to the XC2 style.
@FatPigeon There's a free tool called H2testw. It'll basically just fill the card with data, read it back, and let you know the speeds, and how much of it was writeable. Takes a little while, but gives you some peace of mind.
In my experience however, the fake card I had showed problems immediately. I wasn't even able to format it without issues.
Something to keep in mind if you order from Amazon, there's a chance you might get a counterfeit card (even if it's sold/shipped directly from Amazon).
I'm in Canada and had to return a 128GB micro-SD because it was a fake. They sent a replacement no problem however, and that one was fine.
Probably a good idea to test any cards you get from there before using them in your Switch.
From what I've heard people who wanna cheat in Splatoon 2 are doing it already. Why not just give us the cloud save? At least let us backup our single player progress, multiplayer level, and the gear we've purchased.
I want cloud saves so I can take my Switch out of the house without fears, and will need to subscribe in order to continue to play Splatoon 2 online, so it really feels like an extra expense I can't avoid, rather than a service I will get actual enjoyment out of. (Unless they add dedicated Splatoon 2 servers to improve the lag situation.)
I'm pretty far past getting excited about playing NES games on a new console these days.
Gotta be PSO2 in English. Can't imagine anything else that might be that big. (Cept maybe a new JSR game made by the original team, or a new F-Zero GX.)
I'm definitely gonna get this one, but may wait for a sale. I often have an urge to play some more Dark Souls but my PS3 is all packed up and I don't feel like digging it out every time. Having it on Switch would be too perfect.
Full price? I don't think so! Thanks to the new Club Nintendo rewards program I'll be able to get a sweet $2 off with the points I've saved up over the last 2+ years.
One of my favourite horror games! I'd probably grab it if it went on a big sale considering I already have it on PC and PS4 and have played through it several times.
I was gonna wait for this version, but got a Switch for Christmas and couldn't resist. I'll likely pick this up later if it goes on sale and give the game a replay. I really like the 3D effects in Steamworld games on 3DS.
Bah and I just spent 120 gold coins on... expiration.
Some decent discounts, but I think I'm pretty much done buying games for my Wii U. I hope some Switch rewards appear before the rest of my coins disappear.
Maybe they'll let us pay for Nintendo Online with coins, that'd at least give us something useful to spend them on.
@Hikingguy Yep it’s been a while. Got the new gear, it’s kinda neat.
One other change I’ve noticed is that I can no longer change my language to Japanese. It sends me to the eShop where it then indicates that I’ve already downloaded the update. (Maybe it’s cause I haven’t bought the DLC?)
I'm so glad I managed to get one of these when they finally showed up in North America. At the low price I was hoping to grab a second one as a backup once they were back in stock, but they never came back

I still have this calendar somewhere! I should dig it out and hang it up for the year!
Re: SteamWorld Dev Image & Form Says 2019 Will Be "Huge", News Coming "Sooner Than You Think"
Another Heist game would be awesome, but at this point I'll just enjoy anything they make.
Re: Suda51 Would "Love" To Bring Killer7 To Switch, But It's All Up To Capcom
This is one of the games that made me really like Suda51. Such an awesome original creation. (Also has an amazing OST.)
I'd probably pick it up for Switch if it happened.

Re: Your Nintendo Switch Cloud Save Files Will Be Lost If Your Online Subscription Expires
I'm pretty sure I let my PS+ account expire for almost a year. Subscribed again and all my saves were still there.
Oh well, give Nintendo some time, they're still new to this whole games thing.
Re: Hands On: Getting Fancy With Shovel Knight: King of Cards And Showdown
I'm excited for this, but even more excited to see what Yacht Club will create now that they're able to move on from Shovel Knight.
Re: Xenoblade Chronicles X's Elma Revealed For Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Available Today
If they port XCX to Switch I hope they update all the faces to use this style. It looks so much nicer!
Re: Nintendo Shares Image Of Super Mario Bros. 3 In Action On Switch
Oh goody, seems the colours are still too dark, like on the Wii U. Please Nintendo, can you not fix this?
Re: Zelda-Inspired Adventure Game Minit Arrives On US Switch eShop Next Month

Re: Hollow Knight: Gods & Glory Arrives On Switch August 23rd

Re: Adventure Platformer Heroki Is Flying Onto The Switch eShop Next Month
This is one of the few iOS games I've actually enjoyed and finished. Hope it does well on the Switch.
Re: Reggie Knows You Want Nintendo To Localise Mother 3 And Make Another Animal Crossing
Switch seems like the perfect time to make Mother 3 happen. Also I wouldn't mind having a few other GBA games on that giant portable screen.
Re: Surprise, Splatoon 2 Octo Expansion DLC Is Out Tomorrow!
WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT???
Re: 8BitDo Reveals Huge Range Of Bluetooth Controllers, All Compatible With Nintendo Switch
These are all very cool, but one little detail could be improved. The left analog on that purple Gamecube style controller should be white/grey.
Re: Explore The Hand-Drawn World Of Hollow Knight Right Now On Switch
And it’s so cheap! Such a fantastic game and they’re practically giving it away.
Re: E3 2018: What Do You Want To See From Nintendo At E3?
A new Pushmo for Switch, released today in one of those surprise reveals.
Re: Feature: Hollow Knight On Switch "At The Finish Line" Says Developer Team Cherry
This game is a masterpiece! Can’t wait to play it again on a handheld.
Re: Reaction: What are Your Thoughts on Nintendo Switch Online?
It's not bad.
I want cloud saves so I can take my Switch out of the house without fears, and will need to subscribe in order to continue to play Splatoon 2 online, so it really feels like an extra expense I can't avoid, rather than a service I will get actual enjoyment out of.

Re: Video: Get Your Hands Dirty With Six Minutes Of Switch-Exclusive Garage Gameplay
Looks pretty awesome actually. Might have to check this out eventually.
Re: There's Trouble In Paradise As Nintendo Adds Loot Boxes To Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp
I had to bail on this game months ago. It was kinda hurting my love for Animal Crossing.
Re: Sega Teases "Huge Announcement" To Be Revealed Tomorrow
Gotta be PSO2 in English. Can't imagine anything else that might be that big. (Cept maybe a new JSR game made by the original team, or a new F-Zero GX.)
Re: Dark Souls Remastered To Feature Improved Frame Rates In Blighttown
Couldn't they just remove Blighttown? That place is a nightmare.
Re: Video: We Feel these Top Ten Characters Deserve to Be in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo Switch
Professor Layton! Or Mallo from Pushmo.
Re: Rumour: New Wario Land Trademark Suggests New Instalment Might Be In The Works
Another Wario Land 3 would make me so happy!
Re: Video: Here's How To Use An Xbox One Or PS4 DualShock 4 With Your Nintendo Switch
But does it handle gyro? Could it let me play Splatoon 2 with a Dualshock 4?
Re: Video: Digital Foundry Analysis On Dark Souls: Remastered
I'm definitely gonna get this one, but may wait for a sale. I often have an urge to play some more Dark Souls but my PS3 is all packed up and I don't feel like digging it out every time. Having it on Switch would be too perfect.
Re: Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker Makes The Leap To Switch And 3DS
I've been wanting to replay this, and was actually expecting a Switch port so... I might get it.
Re: Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze Will Get A Retail Release (But It'll Cost You $60)
Full price? I don't think so! Thanks to the new Club Nintendo rewards program I'll be able to get a sweet $2 off with the points I've saved up over the last 2+ years.
Re: Goby Arena Gets Added to the Splatoon 2 Map Rotation Tomorrow
Awesome! I got Splatoon 2 just after Christmas so I’m glad they’re still doing all kinds of updates.
Re: Shock Horror! Outlast: Bundle Of Terror Is Out Now On The eShop
One of my favourite horror games! I'd probably grab it if it went on a big sale considering I already have it on PC and PS4 and have played through it several times.
Re: Kirby Studio HAL Laboratory's Smartphone Game 'Part Time UFO' Is Now Available Worldwide
I got it, it's pretty adorable. Normally I don't normally enjoy playing games on my phone, but I can make an exception for HAL.
Re: Review: SteamWorld Dig 2 (3DS eShop)
I was gonna wait for this version, but got a Switch for Christmas and couldn't resist. I'll likely pick this up later if it goes on sale and give the game a replay. I really like the 3D effects in Steamworld games on 3DS.
Re: Check Out All These New Discounts on My Nintendo in North America
I just went through my coins history to see how many coins I've lost to expiration.
1060 Platinum and 200 Gold.
I've only redeemed 660 Platinum and 100 Gold for actual rewards.
Looks like I get 60 gold coins from a full priced game purchase, so to get those 200 gold coins that vanished I had to spend about $200 on the eShop.
From my experience this rewards program is doing more harm than good.

Re: The Fall Part 2: Unbound Is Set To Take Over The Switch This February
I got the first one from a humble bundle and wasn't expecting much, but it was actually a really cool game.
Re: Super Mario Land 2 Gets a Fan-Made Colour Treatment
This looks fantastic! Really makes me wanna take some time and replay that game.

I have a XC2 quest now, is that new?
Re: Video: Bloodstained Development Team Shares New Footage
I wasn't super impressed by the last gameplay demo, but this is looking really good! Also the soundtrack sounds awesome.
Re: Talking Point: An Era Ends As Nintendo Continues to Ignore 3D on the 3DS
Maan, the new Layton is 2D only? That's actually super disappointing. Maybe I'll just not bother with it...
Re: Video: Get a Good Look at SteamWorld Dig 2 in the Launch Trailer
I don't have a Switch yet, but if they happen to release it on 3DS (or maybe even Vita) I'll get it for sure!
Re: The Smaller New Nintendo 3DS is Discontinued Globally - An Era Ends
I'm so glad I managed to get one of these when they finally showed up in North America. At the low price I was hoping to grab a second one as a backup once they were back in stock, but they never came back
Re: Kirby’s Blowout Blast Releases in North America on 6th July
Looks pretty awesome. Kirby games tend to be very high quality so I'll probably get this one.
Re: Confidence in Nintendo Grows as Share Value Surpasses Previous Pokémon GO Peak
Nice! I always tell myself I'll buy shares in Nintendo someday, and then never do.
Also for anyone that wants to see something impressive, take a look at their share price back in the Wii days, it was nuts!
Re: Video: This Fan-Made Clip Is The Best Commercial For The Nintendo Switch Yet
Really cool!
