I'd never heard of this before but it sounds pretty cool. The foresight mechanic is an interesting gimmick.

Yeah I unfortunately won't be buying this (or the rest of the games in the series) for this reason alone. The amount of games I'd have to delete to make room is crazy, and that's with a Micro SD card.

It's great that they keep updating this game. I haven't actually played it much yet, but still cool to have all the extra content they added to it over the last few months to explore when I finally get around to focusing on it. That said, this update doesn't seem to be available on the Switch yet.

Finally! Glad it's still coming this year. Guess it'll be my last game purchase of 2025.

Yeah I was hoping for some difficulty fixes too... hopefully that's something that'll still happen in the future. I haven't actually touched the game in weeks because it's just so frustrating.

Happy birthday! This has become my main gaming-related website over the last few years, I really appreciate the work the team puts in, keep it up!

I actually had so no idea this was coming, exciting news. I loved the original game at launch but never played the bunch of updates/DLC it got later, so guess I'll finally be trying those.

Nice, this game is really fantastic and I guess this update will give me another reason to go back to it (actually haven't tried the Outer Reaches stuff yet, so that's another incentive).

Wow, I had completely forgotten about Decapolice until seeing it mentioned here.

This is cool news, but the game already both runs flawlessly and looks fantastic on the Switch 2, so I wonder what difference this upgrade will actually make.

I enjoyed the game for a good while but have to admit I really lost interest in it and these updates/DLCs after a while, as at the end of the day the gameplay is always the same and it does get old since it's pretty shallow. Still nice that they keep releasing more content for the people still into it though.

Glad to see they lowered the token requirements to get rewards, as it was it seemed like a huge grind to get everything.

Nice, I already had this on my radar but this review really sold it to me. This, Yooka-Replaylee and Battle Suit Aces all seem like cool indies, crazy they all got released basically at the same time.

This is definitely one of the most interesting looking indie games released in a while. I'm just waiting for a review or two and then I'll probably grab it.

Nice, the bingo seems like a fun addition to the game. I just checked and this patch doesn't seem to be live on the Switch 2 yet though.

I wasn't aware of this game but it looks very cool, definitely going on the wishlist when the Switch version is available.

Nice. I've also been meaning to play this but I wanted to beat Curse of the Dead Gods first, which... isn't exactly an easy task.

I'm surprised these patches seem to be hitting the Switch straight away given how Nintendo usually is with these things. Or is the usual (slow) approval process not being applied here?

Very deserved. Such a fantastic game, definitely one of the best on the Switch 2 so far. Really nice to see both this and Guardians of Azuma do well, both series got a glow up this year and it paid off.

I absolutely loved Strange Horticulture, really looking forward to this one.

You should sort out these polls threads properly, the way sometimes you can vote for five games and others (like now) just one is kind of annoying.

Anyway, as for me:

Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar - still absolutely loving this one, easily the best game in the series. Kate Gray really hit the nail on the head.

Monster Train 2 - my most played game of the year so far and I'd comfortably say the best roguelite deckbuilder ever, now with with a new patch with a bunch of balance changes and fifteen new cards.

Hollow Knight - still making my way through it before I tackle Silksong. Absolutely loving it all over again, maybe even more than the first time.

Might pick up the Bravely Default remaster too, which I put on pause for the last few days, or Kirby blah blah blah: Star-Crossed World, I grabbed the upgrade pack the other day but have barely touched it yet.

I was undecided between replaying Hollow Knight and jumping straight into Silksong, and eventually ended up deciding I'd replay it, and I'm glad I did because I'm having a blast with it all over again. Also really don't mind letting the first couple of patches hit Silksong before I start it, so not really in a rush to play it.

Huh, who knew this was still coming after all this time. Nice that they didn't give up on it.

Very deserved. I've played a few Story of Seasons games and this one is easily the best. It's so much fun to play and looks so lovely too.

I wonder if the max building numbers not being the same between platforms is something that actually makes a difference in terms of gameplay or if it's just a matter of being able to put less decorations up.

Oh I'd get a Child of Eden remaster/port on the Switch 2 in a heartbeat. I remember meaning to check Grow Home/Grow Up too, would be cool to have those on the Switch too.

That's great but they could actually put the game up for pre-order in the European eShop, it still isn't there.

I was already interested in this game but this review really sealed the deal for me, it seems so interesting.

Just a question to anyone who played it - does the Switch version have in-game achievements? I just figured those would be a good way to keep track of what you haven't done, so it'd be nice if it did, since obviously the achievement system from other platforms isn't available here.

lol. I'm sure they loved having an excuse to delay this again.

This seems really good, I was thinking of getting in on sale but it might just go ahead and buy it now. The bazaar aspect seems like a really fun twist on this type of game.

For anyone who played it, do you know how grindy the relationship aspect is? One thing I'm not a fan of in these games is how it can take years of gift giving to max character affinity, especially when there are quests tied to affinity levels. I played Doraemon: Story of Seasons a while back and ended up just watching the final batch of character quest cutscenes on Youtube because it'd take absolute ages to actually unlock them myself.

@JohnnyMind I think it's because the introduction of Megas is a major thing that deserved to be showcased somewhere like the World Championships, but it's a while away so we'll still be getting a couple of regular sets until then.

This is looking quite cool, the legendary beasts ex should be interesting.

It's honestly crazy how successful this game is when there so many other metroidvania games that are just as good if not better. Just like Stardew Valley vs a bunch of other cosy/farming games I guess.

Really hyped for this one, shame it's not out now same as with other platforms but I'm sure the wait will be worth it.

Absolum looks great, definitely looking forward to that one.

A bit rude to steal Kirby's thunder like that.

Hadn't heard of this before but it definitely seems interesting, and yeah, perfect for the Switch. Might buy it.

Nice. Was going to buy the Kirby upgrade pack anyway so might as well make use of the discount.

Nice, I actually got the first one on sale just the other day.

I genuinely couldn't be any less interested in getting this game, but at least this review was quite an amusing read, so at least something of value came from it.

This not appearing in the US/UK Indie World doesn't make any sense, feels like a bigger deal to me than a lot of what did feature there. Exciting that it's finally coming, and so soon.

Really looking forward to this, Islets and Crypt Custodian were both excellent.

First time hearing of this but it seems pretty fun, will be keeping an eye on it.

Shame there isn't a physical version of the complete trilogy, I'd buy that. Will probably still buy the digital one, but likely only when it goes on sale. Also I imagine it'll take a ton of HDD space, which isn't ideal.

One of them was probably that NIS game that leaked the day before the presentation?

@Sonicka I meant Build (SteamWorld Build is the game mentioned in the link, not SteamWorld Heist II), just edited my post!

There's a mistake in this article, the SteamWorld game that fell "slightly below sales expectations" is Build, not Heist II, as per the link.

Anyway hopefully things will become better for the studio now, they make some really great games. SteamWorld Heist II was excellent and I mean to get The Eternal Die when it goes on sale, the first one was great.

After all the delays it seemed pretty much a given this game would be a mess, but I still didn't think it'd be this bad. What a waste of a very cool idea. At least it's not like there aren't plenty of great games in the same vein to choose from.

Pokémon is a series that has had such a wealth of great spin-offs over the years, even as recently as on the Switch (Mystery Dungeon Rescue Team DX, New Snap and Pokkén are all fantastic), it's a bit depressing how it seems to be all about these types of games now. Really hoping we get at least a couple of worthwhile spin-offs on the Switch 2 eventually.

I'd like to get Botany Manor, but annoyingly it's still incompatible with the Switch 2.

@Aispen framerate isn't really something I play much mind to, but here even if it seems a bit inconsistent sometimes it's definitely a whole lot smoother than on the Switch 1. I was walking around the homebase yesterday, talking to merchants etc and the differences were very noticeable. The most annoying part playing on the Switch 1 was the delay when checking the menu or talking to merchants, which thankfully isn't a thing anymore. It just looks way nicer too. I'd already completed the game on the Switch 1, but hadn't played the three DLCs yet, so looking forward to doing that on the Switch 2.
