Given that most 2k switch games require a download component, I am not that annoyed by the lack of a physical release. Just don’t ruin this game with micro transactions.

Day one for me.

The updated contents seems fine. Hope the data mined rumored gyroids is false, I absolutely hate them...

Love the ending theme from Thunder force iii. How they coax that out of Genesis/MD sound chip is beyond me...

@brunojenso agree with you 100%. 3D games that cost a ton to develop are judged harsher while 2d metroidvanias clones are given the pass because they are developed by a single person. Those regularly gets 7s and 8s while a game like this get 6? I completely disagree, while reviews are subjective, I still think this game deserves more than a 6.

Now, ever wonder why many big game companies doesn't want to develop for the Switch? Because their multimillion games are crowded out by those 0.01 or 0.03 dollar games that game the system.

For me, Panzer Dragoon Remake us at least an 8. Sure, it's short, an hour plus game, the review itself said, the hour plus doesn't count the multiple tries to get through it. So it's more than an hour plus game, and personally, I used to play Panzer Dragoon on Saturn again and again even after beating it.

A 2d game might have a ton of stages, but often, they are just reconfigured ones. I personally hate those super hard games that are but a bunch of 2-bit (or 8-bit) graphic stages. So they get tons of supposedly replay value while a game like this get panned for being an hour long...go figure.

Day one. Nope - hour one. Bought it immediately. Hope enough people buy it that it makes the bestseller list, since success (on the list) begets more sales and more sales will spur Forever Entertainment to follow through with Zwei and maybe Saga. Certainly more noteworthy than those 0.01 or 0.03 games that crowd out the better titles on the bestseller charts.

Maybe they are grumpy because nobody bought My Hero One Justice 2.

Brain Training sold better week 2 than week 1.

Nights into dreams from the master at M2. Super Mario Galaxy 1 & 2 from Nintendo themselves. Daytona USA and Virtua Fighter 2/sequels from Sega.

And where's Panzer Dragoon? It's supposed to launch last month.

It's better than Garfield...

If we will buy it, they will surely make more... All we need is to buy up every stock on the shelves and gobble up any reprint...

Just remake this game and I'll buy it in a heartbeat.

@readalie My sentiment exactly. If the game is on Apple Arcade, it's hard to justify purchasing it again on Switch. What you saved from a single or two purchase could buy you a PS4 controller (to use with the iOS device) or an mfi controller...

@Corbs The effect is when you remove and reconnect either joycons from the Switch. Nothing to do with docking the unit.

Story of Seasons: Doraemon should have been on the list.

The score reads "honk", looks like the goose had wreak havoc on Nintendolife too.

Someone should award this game as "Game of the Year." so that it will be called Titled Goose Game.

Since Sega is not working with Square Enix, all the previous IPs don't have apply. It is an original action game, so lets just hope it closer to Sonic or Nights than Rodea...

They should just remaster the rebirth series instead of making new games if they couldn't make a decent new one.

Then again, a remaster of Super Mario Galaxy 1 & 2 will be more welcome, at least in the west...

It makes sense to do a remaster of Sunshine, given that they did Link's Awakening after Breath of the Wild. A remaster of Sunshine could be done by an outside studio (under Nintendo's supervision) and can be done in less time. Something to keep the Switch buzz going while Miyamoto's team work on the next Mario, which probably is still years away.

M2 still does perfect ports, but these days, additions, are generally minimal. Must be the increased workload of making the Genesis Mini and the Turbografx-16 Mini.

September is a crazy month. When can we find the time to play all these Aaa games? September 3, for starters, has three: Spyro Reignited Trilogy, Torchlight ii, and this one. Then, it's like there's a must have games every three or four days...

October looks like another packed month, after a super September with this an A Hat in Time (October 18), plus Luigi Mansion 3 to look forward to...

Nintendolife shouldn't rely only on press releases only because many games get listed a week late. Arcade Archives are often a week late, and this same website is trumpeting Grandia HD collection's release this week and yet didn't list it.

Why is Grandia HD not listed? It's 39.99 or so US$

Give me Daytona and the original Nights into dreams...

I am more excited for Columns ii but will probably buy both these games. Hope Sega makes enough from this line of games otherwise, they might cancel the series.

It is still not selling at it's previous $20? Or does Ubisoft makes a gazillion of them? Cheaper now than an Amiibo.

Got the physical version, for some reason, Nintendo rewards doesn't allow me to redeem the free gold coins...

So the new more energy efficient Switches in the new red box, still uses old display tech or does it utilizes the one with igzo technology?

It's a steal. Almost like buying an Amiibo, and getting the game free... Clearance. Sad to see the game sale didn't fare well...

70% is cutting it close, given the October release date. There's still beta testing and cart/cd production times to consider. Then again, this is a port, so it easier than making a brand new game altogether...

Nintendo is milking the platform to death, given that the handheld only platform lends itself more to special editions, so we should see Zelda SE, Mario SE,and more just as they did with the 3DSXL... I'd fallen for it then owning 4 3DSXL when only using one.

I would have gotten a second unit except that you have to buy all your eShop games on the new console as well. If only their policy is like that of the mobile app stores, I would have bought a second or third unit (special editions), but their restrictive policy means no purchase of an additional unit for me...

Why they announced this before the lite even get sold is beyond me. They just undercut the Lite's sales. Anyone who wanted a Lite would probably wait a month to get this one instead.

They should edit Nintendo press release and add in games that are already in the eShop and not just parrot Nintendo's announcement. That's why, Arcade Archive is always a week late, and e3 released games will have to wait until next week...

It looks like a game made by a novice so I don't think Nintendo will allow that short of it having super addictive gameplay...

Nintendo can't allow every developer to just publish anything or it will flood the eShop with garbage. Sometimes rubbish does get through, but they as gatekeepers try to limit them.

And this site makes Nintendo looks like the villain. I side with Nintendo on this one. Not news worthy of this site.

It's delayed, not cancelled, so the money will still roll in eventually. Sure, not this Christmas, but evergreen titles from Nintendo are not like movies where it's front loaded. Buy on dips, I say... Nintendo stock will rebound once they realize this.

@Dethmunk While a Jaguar Mini would be neat. Those guys at Atari couldn't be trusted, their crowd funded console is looking like a big scam, with delays and nothing to show...

Since the 3ds will probably get less support going forward, Nintendo and its 3rd party developers should discount their games heavily to get those on the fence to get their games before nobody cares about it anymore. Old games on Steam (PC) get discounted up to 90% or more, developers on the 3DS could too. Sort of a Thanksgiving and farewell gift to all those who supported it through the years.

Tetris 99 would have been a slam dunk, if it's not a Nintendo online exclusive. Limit play time
(come back in 5 minutes or buy tokens) like many online games out there, and they could make lots of money. Depending on their licensing terms, they might have to share some of the earnings with The Tetris Company though.

Vote with your wallet for those who wants a volume 2 of these Castlevania classics. For those who says it's overpriced, it's less than $4 each for the good games in the collection (cheaper than Virtual Consoles). The stinkers are more or less freebies...

Tetris 99. Gotta get that skin.

Darius Cosmic Collection, my copy just arrived from Playasia.

Is Redout from last week list? It's new on eShop.

No Virtua Racing, just forced me to create a Japanese eshop account...

Where's Castlevania Anniversary Collection?

As good as Mario Maker 2 is, PS4's Dreams is much more powerful...

Most of the games are not in the genre that Japanese gamers most desire. Only one RPG and its a dated one at that. Still waiting for Virtua Racing in the west.

Hope Sega release it soon in the west.

If Paramount want to do it, it still possible, since Sonic probably CGI character, they doesn't need to reshoot everything. Schedule is pretty tight, but nothing that overtime and added resources couldn't overcome.

Guess one way we could keep the Sega Ages line alive is by voting with our wallets. I, personally, bought each and every game of the Sega Ages line even if I am only moderately interested in the said titles (Phantasy Star, Alex Kidd).

But sometimes, you wonder about Sega's marketing... Like when they uses the original US title Lightening Force instead of the Japan title - Thunderforce IV. How many of us, still remember Lightening Force?

Release the extra (Saturn/ps2) tracks as DLC, and I'll gladly pay $10 for them... Pretty please...
