I was all in on going digital with the 3DS until I bought my son a 2DS and was having to rebuy games which I was finished with. Then the collector side of me took hold and I decided to only buy Eshop only games or Indie games. I've been satified with all of that until recently when I started downloading everything I bought on the Wii.
There are a ton of games that when my Wii dies (which it's dying, no doubt) that I will loose and I'm not happy with that. The WiiU will prolong that since I transferred to the Wii on their. However that is just prolonging the inevitable.
I have yet to pick up any of these titles since I am not that familiar with the NEO GEO library. What would be some titles that would be recommended? It looks like a lot of fighters and Shmups which are not my favorite genres but I'll usually partake in one occasionally.
I thought the concept was really neat since it bucks the traditional pitfalls are bad. However it sounds like it was not executed very well. I may still pick this up but at a later time.
Sad to hear that the gameplay does not hold up. However I still may give the game a chance later on since I'm a sucker for cultural games. Wulverblade was one that had a great mix of gameplay along with the cultural side of it.
I consider myself a collector but there is no way I could spend that much on games. I just keep the ones I buy to play and end up with 40-80 game on any given system. I'm already going mad trying to keep up with what I have.
It's weird that kishimi8 mentions that because I was thinking we have another 8/16 bit game that needs more effort.
I've had my eye on this game but didn't want to buy it until I knew it was at least okay. Sounds like a pick up for me but I'll wait until tomorrow as I'm finishing forma.8 and want to get more coins for my purchase.
I did not think a 2D game could be scary so I'm really interested in this. I don't think I want 2 horror games though so I need to decide between this and Layers of Fear.
I just finished this and I will have to say I agree with the score. It did a lot of new things but there were some bad design choices. I never got lost but there were times I just meandered around but I used it as an opportunity to collect more health/salt. I did not like the attacking but got okay with it and the last boss ended up being a huge disappointment.
Damn I was reading that review and thought this was another title I need to check out. After reading the rest of it though, I could see myself burning out on it since there doesn't seem like much mission variety. I'll keep an eye out for it when it's on sale or just pick it up on Steam (which I know will get cheap).
Still an amazing story as it fundamentally changed the course of the industry. I'm a huge Nintendo fan and this turn of events was for the better since it ushered in the era of gaming that we see now. Of course it could be argued the deal with Sony was equally important.
Hopefully it's a good port then, it usually does not bode well for games to just appear.
Horror is not one of my favorite genres but I do play them occasionally. I will be interested in this and Layers of Fear, just need to decide on which one.
I'm interested in Final Station, Pacman, Dragon Sinker, and Membrane. I actually think this has been one of the best release weeks for Indies with the quantity of good titles. There is some trash though.
I might have to give this one a whirl, I know I heard how great championship edition was but never picked it up. From what I heard this version was good still but did not live up the first one with minor changes. However the 2 player co-op sounds like something that makes this more enticing.
I'm okay with them as long as they are being used to fill out a release calendar but when they are the calendar that is a problem. Some of them I've missed and do not mind picking them up but I would like to see the pricing reflect that it is an older game. Doesn't have to be free but the $40 range is better suited for some of these.
Between this reviews, Jool's glowing recommendation, and others, I will have to pick this up at some point. Sounded like trash but ends up being very solid.
I pre-purchased this but haven't put much time into it. I played the first level and it was fine. It's no Fire Emblem or some of the other stalwarts of the genre but for the cost it's a great value. It's probably something I'll beat the first one and a few months from now when I have a hankering I'll jump into the 2nd one.
I do not remember using Start+Y for syncing, that's usually what I use to turn the switch on with. There should be a sync button on the top of the controller. I had to do it a couple of times to get it to work with the Switch.
I would love to double dip on this but I'll wait till it drops in price since I have it on WiiU already and I never completed either game. Great game though and a good value for those that have not played it.
I kind of feel bad for some of these indies, there really isn't much of a shot for some of them succeeding unless they are well known or stays on the best sellers. I know there's a ton of indie success but I would imagine there are 2-3 times as many failures.
Another one to put on the wishlist. I would pick it up this week but I've been getting 2 a week and I'm not finishing 2 a week so there's a backlog building up.

I haven't played it but have heard great things so I may have to pick this up.

Re: Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze Will Get A Retail Release (But It'll Cost You $60)
I'm not going to complain about the cost, I'm just not going to double dip much like I did not on Mario Kart.
Re: Video: New Trailer For Raging Justice Shows Off Some Of The Deadly Weapons On Offer
Looking better than when I first seen it. I think the animation thing is intentional and reminds me of the era a little bit.
Re: Amazon Germany Lists Project Octopath Traveler For August Release On Switch
Probably the game I was most excited for during the reveal for the Switch. Day one for me, I just hope they do a Collector's edition.
Re: Sounds Like Blizzard Really Is Porting Diablo 3 To Switch (Even Though It Said It Wasn't)
@sword_9mm That would be awesome!
I would double dip on Diablo 3 if it came to the Switch. I still will do a Diablo II run occasionally.
Re: You Can Now Spend Your My Nintendo Gold Points On Digital Switch Purchases
Well as a collector it's almost useless and my biggest grip is that they have had better systems in the past so I know it can be done.

Re: Review: Fear Effect: Sedna (Switch eShop)
Well I was interested in this game but with that review I'll wait until it's on sale.
Re: Review: Subsurface Circular (Switch eShop)
I thought this game looked horrible but it's apparently good? I'll have to look more into this.

Nice collection though.
Re: Nintendo Download: 1st March (North America)
Another bunch of games I do not have time for. I'll pick up Totes the Goat for sure and will keep Fear Effect Sedna and Little Triangle as maybes.

Re: Review: Radiation Island (Switch eShop)
I had some hope for this game but I was never really expecting much. Otherwise there are plenty of other alternatives that are much better games.
Re: Review: A Normal Lost Phone (Switch eShop)
Never crossed my mind as a good game.
Re: Review: Detention (Switch eShop)
I did not think a 2D game could be scary so I'm really interested in this. I don't think I want 2 horror games though so I need to decide between this and Layers of Fear.
Re: And Just Like That, Customer Reviews On The Nintendo Site Are No More
Just as well, I cannot trust user reviews.
Re: The Internet Is Pouring Some Serious Salt On That PC Port Of Chrono Trigger
Glad I have the SNES cart and a copy of the DS version .

Still an amazing story as it fundamentally changed the course of the industry. I'm a huge Nintendo fan and this turn of events was for the better since it ushered in the era of gaming that we see now. Of course it could be argued the deal with Sony was equally important.
Re: Review: Little Triangle (Switch eShop)
Great another game to check out...too many damn games. I really need to narrow down my taste in games as well.
Re: Shock Horror! Outlast: Bundle Of Terror Is Out Now On The eShop
Hopefully it's a good port then, it usually does not bode well for games to just appear.
Horror is not one of my favorite genres but I do play them occasionally. I will be interested in this and Layers of Fear, just need to decide on which one.
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend?
I ended up finishing Dondara and forma.8. Payday 2 would have been a thought but I'm in the US so we do not have it yet and I'm on the fence about it.
Re: These Retro-Themed Joy-Cons And Pro Controller Are An 8-Bit Dream
Those look amazing and I would be tempted if the price wasn't so high. I think $125 or so would have been more in the range.
Re: Nintendo Download: 22nd February (North America)
I'm interested in Final Station, Pacman, Dragon Sinker, and Membrane. I actually think this has been one of the best release weeks for Indies with the quantity of good titles. There is some trash though.
Re: Review: Superola And The Lost Burgers (Switch eShop)
This should not surprise anyone, game looked like trash.
Re: You Can Visit The Little Dragons Café On Switch This Summer
It's so crazy it might just work. I like these games that are combinations of styles/genres, like Ever Oasis and Fantasy Life.
Re: Review: Pac-Man Championship Edition 2 Plus (Switch eShop)

Re: Feature: 7Levels Has Its Finger On The Pulse With Castle Of Heart
Looks interesting and something to keep my eye on. I'm a sucker for medieval settings.

Re: Get Your Thinking Caps On For Membrane On Switch
It's growing on me the more I see it. I'll keep an eye out for it.

Re: Runner3 Completes Development, Submitted to Nintendo
I liked BitTrip 2 so I'll be on the outlook for this one when it comes out.
Re: Review: Fe (Switch eShop)
I'm still interested either way, just got to keep looking at the different reviews.

Re: Feature: Suiting Up For Combat With Battle Princess Madelyn On Switch And Wii U
So is it supposed to have the difficulty of Ghosts and Goblins? If so I'll pass.
Re: Review: Earth Wars (Switch eShop)
I put a couple of hours into it, it wasn't bad but it wasn't good.
Re: 8Bitdo Firmware Update Fixes Controller Power Issues

Re: Look, Capcom Knows You Really Want Monster Hunter World On Switch
I do not want World on the Switch though I want a Monster Hunter on Switch. Needs to built for the Switch considering the hardware differences.
Re: Review: Bayonetta 2 (Switch)
I would love to double dip on this but I'll wait till it drops in price since I have it on WiiU already and I never completed either game. Great game though and a good value for those that have not played it.
Re: Lost N64 Title 40 Winks Is Resurrected Thanks To Kickstarter
I remember that game and have completely forgot about it. Stuff like this is very cool.

Re: Review: Aegis Defenders (Switch eShop)
Another game I'm interested in. I'm slowly turning my Switch into an Indie machine.
Re: Review: Owlboy (Switch eShop)
Another one to put on the wishlist. I would pick it up this week but I've been getting 2 a week and I'm not finishing 2 a week so there's a backlog building up.
Re: Joe Dever's Lone Wolf Leaps On To The Switch eShop Next Week
That sounds like fun, but will I be able to go back to my previous decision after seeing what happens?
Sounds like something I would highly enjoy since those type of books were some of my favorites growing up.
Re: Random: U.S. Curling Team Member Matt Hamilton Sure Reminds Us Of Someone
Well here in Kansas City, we think he looks like a slimmer Andy Reid (Chiefs Head Coach).
Re: Bandai Namco Confirms It Is Officially Working on Metroid Prime 4
Hopefully they are just providing the grunt work along the lines of what they did for Smash Brothers.
