Ok yeah, after looking at this publisher's game list I remain unconvinced.

This had caught my attention on the upcoming titles section of the eShop, but honestly something about the title and art style made me think it was one of those knock-off slop games rather than something legit. Cool to know it's actually a proper game, I'll be wishlisting it.

Damn, wish I'd bought these on sale now.

Will these Switch 2 editions also have improved textures and whatnot?

Honestly it kinda looks the same to me beyond the extra particles in the air, but then I've never been one to really care about FPS.

This plus a new Culdcept game getting announced totally made my day. A pair of extremely underrated series.

Seems interesting. The concept seems like a mix of Overboard! And The Sexy Brutale (both excellent games).

Yeah this really doesn't look like much, unfortunately. Wish they'd gone for a brand new world and/or some reimagined stages like with the Kirby Switch 2 version, the main focus here being multiplayer minigames feels a bit... "who asked for this?".

@sportvater yeah this game seems fun otherwise but there's just something cheap/fan art-like about the character designs which is definitely unnapealing. I might still give it a try eventually but not exactly dying to play it right now.

I'm glad this fixed the bug that had the journal always have a "!" sign even if there wasn't anything new, that was annoying. That was pretty much my only issue with the game, even if very minor. Very much a 10/10 and one of the best JRPGs of recent times.

Just realised I forgot to vote for Ys X: Proud Nordics, but definitely looking forward to that too.

Well, as messy as this situation has been, it's nice to have an explanation and to know they are looking into solutions.

Can anyone please confirm if the European version is like this too or if it's just the American one?

Between the game actually taking up nearly 30gb of your HDD when the eShop description says 14.6gb, and now the enforced censorship, I'm honestly regretting pre-ordering this one. I'm sure I'll still have a blast with it, but yeah, fooled me not once but twice there.

@PeterPanana Yeah, I am aware of that. It just doesn't really make sense to me to do a free trial of the Switch 1 version of the game when there's a Switch 2 version which should be getting released soon(ish) (and is literally already available in the US).

Before the Switch 2 version, which has been available for weeks elsewhere, actually gets released in Europe, really? What dumb timing.

Finally! Shame it's not a bit sooner but oh well, really looking forward to finally playing this.

I really need to get around to playing this, especially after loving the first one, will definitely grab it when it's next on sale.

Great numbers but can't help but feel they'd be quite a bit higher had they not decided to skip physicals in the West. This is totally the type of game plenty of people would happily buy a physical version of, either for themselves or as a gift, it being digital only must have hurt its reach, especially as a full price title.

"The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Tingle's Toetown Hoedown" had me actually laughing. And it's funny it doesn't actually sound that unbelievable either.

Well, that's disappointing to read.

The one game I'm still waiting to get fixed is Botany Manor, surprised it hasn't happened yet.

Funnily enough this patch hit pretty much straight after I started this game. Not sure something like that had ever happened to me before.

Mega Charizard ex looks like it's going to be so annoying to deal with, oof.

Octopath is definitely the game of the month for me, but I'm also really looking forward to finally playing Rogue Prince of Persia, been waiting a long time for that one. Also want to get Sonic Racing, but I'm waiting for the physical Switch 2 version for that.

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.
