    I'd a missed call from them yesterday, and couldn't get through when I got a chance to call back. Just got them on the phone, and it was to inform people about low allocations of games/accessories, so to let people know that they may be better off pre-ordering accessories if they wanted any.

    The amount of times they've called you...

    Eir must be cleaning up.

    Jackbox Party Pack 3 has been announced for Switch. Great idea!

    Note sure if this has been posted already, TumbleSeed. Looks promising once they don't force motion controls in the Switch version (and the price is decent ofc).



    Looking back at previous posts in here and seeing Stardew Valley being mentioned - that game would be a brilliant fit for the Switch.

    Cool, so that means that the eShop will have to be up and running on day one.
    It'll be interesting if there's a discount for people who already own it....


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,431 ✭✭✭MilesMorales1


    I'd like to buy 1-2 switch at launch, just as a second game and mainly to show off the system a bit better than Zelda might, but I just know it'll go cheap after launch which is annoying.


  • Registered Users Posts: 18,081 ✭✭✭✭RobbingBandit


    Zelda day one then nothing for me until Mario Kart, luv Bomberman for as long as I can remember megadrive kangaroo being a stand out but not willing to fork out €60+ for it on switch.

    When is Redout out?

    Edit: ah, it's out "This Spring".
    Definitely be one I'll pick up, in physical form if possible.

    Good value for the upcoming Redout, on Switch.
    https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MZ9ELHN/
    It's $35.47 from Amazon Prime in the States, no word on a date from the UK Amazon site though link



    I really like the look of this one, an enhanced version of the Steam game.
    It seems to be distributed by 505 Games on the XB1, PS4 and Switch, so hopefully we'll have a date for Europe soon.

    Ultimate Chicken Horse is coming to Console!

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s8vG_yP3yvg

    "We are proud and super excited to officially announce that Ultimate Chicken Horse will be coming to XboxOne, PS4 and Nintendo Switch! We are aiming to launch during the Summer of 2017."


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,431 ✭✭✭MilesMorales1


    Four-player competitive DIY platformer Ultimate Chicken Horse is coming to Nintendo Switch, PS4 and Xbox One in Q3 2017, developer Clever Endeavour Games has revealed to Eurogamer.

    For the uninitiated, Ultimate Chicken Horse is a 2D game where up to four players place platforms, traps, and other generally hazardous objects into a scene then see who among them can still make it to the finish line. After each round more player-set traps are added with the idea being to make the stage hard enough that your rivals can't complete it, yet easy enough that you can.
    The console edition of Ultimate Chicken Horse will introduce a new extension to Free Play mode that allows players to create their own levels from scratch rather than simply place objects into existing terrain.

    If they moved really fast they could get it out for launch...

    I've got Shovel Knight already on the WiiU and 3DS, am in luck for a downloadable copy for my Switch as a result of the games now being attached to my account I wonder?


  • Registered Users Posts: 30,123 ✭✭✭✭Star Lord


    We can but hope!


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 34,528 CMod ✭✭✭✭CiDeRmAn


    I'm definitely going to buy 1,2 Switch.
    While it would have made a great pack in there's enough multiplayer gaming with my son and between he and his friends that will mean it'll get played.
    I was trying to decide on a game Vs a controller, in addition to the console, BotW and Binding of Isaac (from Canada) and while a controller would be grand I'm thinking it'll wait until Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and even then for two player laughs the current single controller has that covered.
    Plus, there's the hope that the WiiU Pro Controller might be made compatible with a future update... Here's hoping.

    I just hope you dont have to complete the previous campaigns like you had to do with plague knight, id love to get this on switch, but if the campaign is locked behind completion, ill wiiU it.

    In a gamexplain interview the Devs said they got complaints about that and you won't have to.

    Or I misunderstood, I've never played the game.

    Not sure if this has been mentioned already but the soundtrack for Snake Pass, due for release Q1 sometime, is done by none other than David Wise. His DKC soundtracks are still some of the best around.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,431 ✭✭✭MilesMorales1


    Someone posted this in the other thread, game sizes for digital stuff!

    - The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 13.4 GB
    - Puyo Puyo Tetris 1.09 GB
    - I Am Setsuna 1.40 GB
    - Nobunaga’s Ambition 5 GB
    - Mario Kart 8 Deluxe 7 GB
    - Snipperclips 1.60 GB
    - Dragon Quest Heroes I·II 32 GB (SD card required)

    speaking of:




    The sound seems a bit weird when they're playing the music it's hard to hear the guys talking sometimes.

    THE BINDING OF ISAAC: AFTERBIRTH+ for NINTENDO SWITCH
    For those of you who have pre-ordered already you may have noticed your order shifted date. We were unable to confirm the revised release date until now (due to issues way beyond our control), but can confirm that the Release Date for The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth+ on Nintendo Switch has been pushed back. It’s still March, but we won’t make 3.3 (insert sad face here)

  • Registered Users Posts: 18,081 ✭✭✭✭RobbingBandit


    Anyone else find the irony of the subtitle afterbirth+ now that it won't be a launch title, we won't get the game until after the birth of the switch. rainier wolfcastle that's the joke gif be most welcome here me thinks.

    Any word on demos or trials for games yet?

    The placenta always comes a little while after the main event... Just have to wait a little while, make sure you get all of it, otherwise the new mother can go into toxic shock...
    Ha, wait, the joke... very good....


    Actually, I suspect the desire to include the physical goodies might have generated the delay tbh, the physical games must be already made and ready to rock at this point.
    Maybe it's an eshop issue.
