Sounds like a good genre blended game that I will be getting. I'll probably wait until next year though as I'm picking up Diablo 3 tomorrow and that's just a game that will eat up at least a month of my time if not more. I have other games to still play so the game isn't demanding my attention at the moment.
I have plenty of games that I need to play on 3DS and want to buy for the 3DS but the Switch is so much nicer it's been hard to jump over and play it. As far as the 3DS still selling, I think Nintendo still has room to boost sales by doing a further price drop on the New models and dropping the 2DS.
I'm happy to see this but I already have them pre-ordered through Limited Run. The biggest disappointment is that I could have avoided shipping costs and would have gotten my GCU discount. I'm not going to be bitter about it though. I already own both games digitally as well so it's my own fault.
Honestly after going through Slayaway Camp I don't really see the point in this. At $5 that was a great price, $16 is a little steep to me especially when you factor in what's available at that price.
Looks really good and it looks like it's fairly far along so I would have faith of this coming out in a reasonable time frame. I wonder why Team 17 or some of the other Indie publishers haven't picked this up? Or is it more of a matter of them not wanting to share part of the sales? Either way this is something I'll keep my eye on.
I would love to replay this but I'll probably will wait until a price drop. Other than that, using motion controls sounds like a horrible idea with 3D on, especially if you don't have the new 3DS.
I enjoy the older games just as much as the next guy but to me a similar experience is offered via Indies and most of those have far better visuals (obviously), quality of life improvements, and quantity than most of the classics. The void left by the VC was filled by Indies and I would rather be playing the new games (with a few exceptions).
With that being said, a Netflix style service is probably preferable to me simply because I've already purchased several of these games multiple times so I really do not want to spend hundreds of dollars rebuying them.
This is been the issue with Nintendo since the Gamecube/Wii days. They make some of the best multiplayer games. Most multiplayer games are more fun with a bunch of friends in the same room however we are in the 21st century which allows us to play friends that are across the street or across the world. This is very disheartening news.
I still have not played this though I did by it on PC. I've thought about picking it up on Switch but I know it's going to be a time sink and I have so many other games to play. Other than that, the game has been wildly successful on the Switch as it's charting again in the top 30.
Actually this is a very fair and good resolution. Telltale will not be getting any of the profit, some of the ex-employees will get temporary work, and the series see's a conclusion.
And this is one of the problems with Nintendo doing their propriety discs/cartridges. Oh well, at least Monster boy is going to a simultaneous release with physical and digital.
While I enjoyed Slayaway Camp, I did not get all the way through it because it wore thin after the first 8 horror movies or so. Fun game but I doubt I'll pick this since I got my fill in Slayaway Camp.
I don't think the App is bad if it was an option for on the go gaming but it should also have it built into the system for when you are home. I'm pretty sure in this day and age you could make it to where the system works with the app to switch from one to the other.
I had already come to terms with their demise (not that it took much) so I would say just let it die. If anything like holygeez03 mentioned, I would think if one of the major retailers wanted to pick up the IP and use it to rebrand their toy selection. Hell even a Best Buy type of scenario where they open a "store within a store" that might be better.
Another game to watch out for, the aesthetic looks really good. I probably would only play single player so I'm glad to see they have something for that.
Sadly no one wants to play multiplayer in my house anymore so I'll probably just skip this or wait until I can find it on the cheap. Sounds like an improvement though.
I'll admit I had forgotten about this until last week and now I'm kind of wanting to jump in. I got the Budokai game and played it for a couple of hours before jumping to something else but I think it's because it was in a 3D space, this looks more up my ally though I'm not a huge fighting game fan.
Damn that's a lot of games for me. Got Megaman 11, Dark Souls, Starlink, and Diablo 3 on that list. I still haven't even started Octopath either so who knows when I'll get to this.
Great game, I still need to finish it though. I think Steam World side tracked me last year. Other than that, I will probably double dip and order a physical copy of the game as I think it's worthy of that.
Great game that grabbed me as soon as I started playing it. I've had a harder time getting into the Fractured But Whole in comparison but like both still. I would double dip if they released it on cartridge.
I was pretty happy to see how good everything felt. Most of the nuances they talk about I don't notice except maybe for input lag but even then that's usually something I just adjust to.
That's why I bought it, very relaxing and truly one of the few games I can play and watch TV at the same time since it didn't require my attention. I really got into doing all the puzzles with all the different piece counts. I think I completed everything but one or two of them.
Thanks for the guide. I was messing around with it last night and seen several pending but didn't see the option to force it. I'll have to cancel the upload and redo it. At least I know now.
Well I put 20 hours into the Japanese Scenery one so I would be interested in this, though I'm not big into it being of Japanese women. I would rather of had more scenery myself.
I thought about it for a few minute but decided against it since I already have the game on the 360. I might pick up the standard edition eventually but I'm going to cut back on the special editions as I would rather have more games with that money.
Though physical would be pretty sweet I'm not going to get too worried about not getting it since the original cartridges would be even better (not all have those even). I was pretty excited to see this in the direct as I love that genre.
I'm working my way through The Messenger right now. I just hit the "change" in the game and got through that boss so I'm progressing fairly well. I'll probably try to finish it by next week so I can move onto something else or go back to Crash or some other game I haven't completed.
That's actually a really cool touch. I haven't played this yet but I want to. I might wait until a sale on either Steam or the Switch though as I have plenty to play.
I might grab Golf Story as I enjoyed that a lot. I did grab Yooka Laylee (CE) and Dust the other day which I got Yooka Laylee as a backer already and would have backed this option to start off with.

I haven't downloaded it but that's mostly because I'm not big into online gaming and I have too many other games that I've purchased to play.

Re: Video: Check Out Yooka-Laylee's Demastered Nintendo 64 Mode In Action
Not bad without just remaking the game completely on a 64. It even had moments of pop-in even nearby.
I still need to go back and finish Yooka Laylee.
Re: Cancelled Level 5 Horror RPG Ushiro Is Being Revived For Nintendo Switch
I would need it to be translated for me to be fully on board but it looks interesting enough to get my attention.

Much like Child of Light, I need to go back and play this. I have my WiiU still hooked up though so I'll pass.
Re: Review: Child of Light: Ultimate Edition - A Painterly Action RPG Which Still Shines Four Years On
Got about 2 hour into it and moved on. It wasn't a bad game, just something else came out and distracted me. I probably should give it another go.
