Nintendo Switch Game News and Releases.

Banjo · 01-03-2017 11:32am

My eldest was getting really excited about Switchmas, even including it in a list of upcoming events (Pancake day! Switchmas! Patricks day! Mothers day! - followed by daggers from my wife

) until I told her that BotW is 1 player and I am that player. Also didn't go down well when she asked who Player 2 would be and I hugged my wife and said "player 2 for life!" - not the answer she wanted.

Aside from Snipperclips - which I'll probably get in a Joycon Bundle after the fact - what are the eShop multiplayer front runners for launch day? Ideally something cheap with "classic" gameplay - ie not 1-2-Switch - and Co-Op rather than competitive.

From memory, the options are FAST (too "serious"), Setsuna (1P?), the Tomorrow Corp games, Binding of Isaac, Snipperclips and Shovel Knight (already owned on 3DS and WiiU, and described as "But that's stupid, daddy!" by my ignorant whelp) with full price options Just Dance, Bomberman and skylanders... I'm not seeing a cheap, fun option for messing with the kids... suggestions?

That_Guy · 01-03-2017 12:03pm

Bit late to the party with the Nindies showcase.

Things I would play:

Yooka Laylee
Runner 3
Flipping Death
Mr. Shifty
Shakedown Hawaii
Stardew Valley

Binding of Isaac has been pushed back, no?

I'm getting Zelda. I might get my fourth :eek: copy of Shovel Knight, but would temporarily desist if Monster Boy or Wonder Boy were available. Which I doubt. And neither of those is multi-player either, as far as I know.

I'll get RMX. I'll get Snipperclips if it is available in a Joy-Con bundle, and my local store are still insisting that it will be.

That_Guy · 02-03-2017 10:59pm

Game called Voez is going to be a launch title on the e-shop.

I really like rhythm games and I'm rather tempted to buy it. €20.99 is a bit high though.....

"what are you watching"

"It's a gameplay video I swear"

"Sounded like J-Pop to me, weeb"

Josey Wales · 03-03-2017 3:35pm

I just played the Puyo Puyo Tetris demo at lunch time and it was pretty fun. I think I might end up getting it when the localised version launches.

MilesMorales1 · 05-03-2017 1:35pm

I want another switch game, but I don't know what yet. Probably end up with shovel knight.

I got Zelda, RMX, Snipperclips, 1-2 Switch, and Shovel Knight treasure trove. Seems like a big wait now until Mario Kart, Splatoon 2 and Arms. Would like to see Sonic Mania or Yooka-Laylee moving earlier, but presume that's unlikely.
I was wondering if any of the vague "2017" indie releases might surprise us?

Binding of Isaac and early VC access to fill things out?

CiDeRmAn · 05-03-2017 6:21pm

Ended up buying Fast RMX in the end...
I'm weak, I know....
It looks gorgeous but is the same game as Fast Racing Neo.
Still no sign of World of Goo though...

Well, I'll keep the powder dry until then!

Still no release date on Binding of Isaac....

So it is actually just a rename, or what?
I have Fast Racing NEO on the Wii U, so I'll know to avoid it if its the same game.
It seems a bit lousy that they just renamed the game to get more punters!

Star Lord · 06-03-2017 12:07pm

I'd read that they'd added a lot of extra stuff to the game, like extra tracks etc...

compared to the original Wii U version we almost doubled the content and added a lot of new visual effects and many general improvements

CiDeRmAn · 06-03-2017 12:13pm

I'll have to stick with it so.
I don't know if the extra tracks in RMX are the Fast Racing Neo dlc or genuinely new material.
That dlc was included on the FRN physical release.
I'm in work so I can't check the track numbers compared to each other

druss · 06-03-2017 12:32pm

In a vague attempt to justify my purchase, I can say that I didn't buy the Fast Racing NEO DLC.

Mainly though, RMX was listed at a pretty decent digital price and I'm much, much more likely to occasionally play it on the Switch in handheld mode.

CiDeRmAn · 06-03-2017 2:06pm

I bought it because I wanted a racing game on my new device and, while I own it already, I quite like it, though it is Wipeout/FZeroGX-lite... just 1 calorie, won't fill you up (on AG racing), so plenty of room left for Redout, which looks superior.

chrislad · 06-03-2017 2:57pm

I'm humming and hawing about RMX, but I'll probably go for Shovel Knight. I know RMX won't get any play time once Mario Kart comes out next month.

CastorTroy · 06-03-2017 3:06pm

I see they've announced Time Attack and Friend Online Support for RMX coming soon

I suppose it's a bit like the good old PS1 days, you could own F1'97 and Wipeout 2097, both got plenty of play... as did Colin McRea, Rollcage, Driver and Grand Tiramisu!

Yeah, but I'm barely into driving games as it is. I have plenty to keep me going with Zelda for now anyway. I can't see myself wanting another game for a while.

CiDeRmAn · 06-03-2017 6:52pm

Something really nice about Fast RMX is the HD Rumble effects, it feels pretty good, giving you an active tactile experience as you tear around the courses.

Bloodstained has been officially announced for Switch, delayed to Q1 2018.

AMGer · 06-03-2017 9:29pm

What's the latest on Splatoon 2? Can we still expect it in the summer? Hopefully sooner rather than later

The_B_Man · 07-03-2017 11:32am

When the first one came out, I *think* everyone who downloaded that beta got some money off the full game from the eShop. Might be worth giving it a go, either way.

CastorTroy · 07-03-2017 1:26pm

Yeah they did. but then I wanted the Squid Amiibo.

Must get back to Splatoon before the testfire starts and get familiar with the controls again. I'm sure they'll have the tutorial again for newbies

McLoughlin · 07-03-2017 10:41pm

As most people know I Am Setsuna has a physical release in Asia with a Japanese sleeve but the retailer Heavy Arm Game is selling the game with an English lanuage sleeve. If your interested in the game on disc err cartridge with English sleeve get in touch with them.

I've allready paid for my copy release end of the month.

It's not on their website as it's out of stock the only way to get the game is to email them.

Wonderboy: The Dragons Trap is coming on April 18th

PC, PS4 and Xbox One in both physical and digital form, priced £29.99, £39.99 on Switch physical and digital, as well as a delay.

I'll be waiting for a price drop on this I think. No chance I'm paying extra just to have it on a new piece of hardware.

I'd only really play Rime on the go, gotta suck it up in my case. I could save the £10 but probably wouldn't get half the hours from it. Worth it for the portability IMO, but that's in my case.

MilesMorales1 · 08-03-2017 9:19pm

Binding Of Issac on the 17th March!

I'd love it for portability too, but I'm not paying extra just because they want to take advantage of a new system with a small library. It just rubs me up the wrong way a little.

Between that and £10 more expensive Rime!

That's what I'm waiting for, probably won't have it until mid April though.

Ah it's ****e, I'm looking at it value for money wise though.

Did someone say Binding of Issac Collectors Edition? I hit 130hrs on PC today

I think that justifies giving Nicalis more money.

There is an apple usb-c to usb converter available wonder would it work on the switch for using basic usb chargers or have I not thought this through entirely.

Banjo · 08-03-2017 10:54pm

I got a USB a to c cable today, will give it a go later/tomorrow if I get a chance and report back.

You can get fairly high quality USB C cables for 10-12 quid on Amazon, or the adapters for like €1 from DX.com or aliexpress.com

I got a pack of two adapters.
One stopped charging one day and decided to get very very hot.
Down with this sort of thing!
Careful now!

This one should do the job yea?
