Gameplay trailer for Untitled Goose Game (still untitled!)
It looks wonderful and made me laugh a few times (the goose is an asshole)

I have a feeling that it will be very short though.
Hope I'm proven wrong.

Out on Friday.

Rather an excellent short game I'll enjoy and finish in 4 hours than a triple A bloat fest with 8 hours of gameplay stretched thin over a needless open world.

In other news Star Ocen First Departure R announced for Switch. Looks like a touching up of the PSP remake of the first Star Ocean game. There's better RPGs out there but it's not a bad game and very interesting especially the combat system.

Grid Autosport is out today for €35. Downloading it as we speak. Got it for €30 with the cdkeys offer ( €35 credit for €30 ).

There's a demo for Ori and the Blind Forest up on the eshop for anyone who's not tried the game on Xbox and wants to experience a super little game.

Didn't finish this game on xbox but got about 3/4 the way through. Need to give this another go. Loved it.

conormario · 25-09-2019 5:47pm

Ori getting great reviews.
Basically the same as XBox + better character animations + some extra stuff.
And 60 FPS !
And on a handheld !!

Can't wait to play through it again, come at me Ginso tree

conormario · 26-09-2019 12:08pm

Looks like the improvements they made to the game engine for the sequel were applied back to the original. So, the switch has the best version. +1000 for custom game engines to make the switch sing. I would love to see what kind of stuff Nintendo use in house.

Mr E · 26-09-2019 12:11pm

I read on NintendoLife that the same engine is used for the upcoming sequel too, so there is a good chance of that on Switch in the future.

conormario · 26-09-2019 12:30pm

I really didn't even care about 60 FPS before, but they games that have it look and feel wonderful. DKTF, Rayman Legends, Mario Kart 8, Mario Odyssey, Captain toad, Ori, diablo ...

I'm hoping BOTW2 can do this on the switch pro, which it'll be launched with !

Here's a list ...

Doom 1 and 2 updates out now.

Audio, Performance and Lighting improvements.

Ori still not playable, what time do games normally "release" or this is just an outlier?

The first three Dragon Quest games are out today and available to buy/download from the eshop.

Mr E · 27-09-2019 10:30am

Ori not available to download yet. Keep an eye on this page:

Are any of them any good? I tried the latest one on PS4 and 4 hours in am kinda bored. I just want an interesting story.

Brain Age for Nintendo Switch - Announcement Trailer

Mr E · 03-10-2019 2:14pm

Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair is out next week but reviews are out today. It's getting great reviews (8+). Sounds like a brilliant game.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PgcYbc9ZCtQ

conormario · 03-10-2019 6:03pm

Yep. 60 FPS too. Looks very like tropical freeze. Plus a fully designed playable over world game too.

I bet it's a custom game engine too and not whatever the hell grezzo and links awakening uses.

Hi Nintendo, you can buy this company

Mr E · 03-10-2019 7:34pm

A Knights Quest is out next week - this looks great!

Corpse Party is coming out for Switch I'm stunned, this is technically the third game but read the second one can be opintional? I'll probably play the 2nd one first myself.

Day one Switch purchase for me!

Anybody try Grid Autosport? Looks really good and getting great reviews as an authentic racing game for switch. Seems like it's getting overlooked as it's a port.

I have it. Plays really well. There's a few different options for how you want the game to look which is great (ie: great graphics at 30 fps or slightly downgraded graphics at 60 fps).
For €35 it's a bargain. Really enjoying it.

CiDeRmAn · 07-10-2019 6:28pm

They've just updated Gear.Club Unlimited 2, cut the lag and it runs much better.
Wondering if there's a free roam mode.

pasta-solo · 08-10-2019 4:00pm

I see Doom Eternal has been pushed until an unknown date next year. Not the worst news tbh, as there's more than enough coming this year to tide me over. The Witcher 3 is very soon, and depending on reviews, I'll probably pick that up.

CastorTroy · 08-10-2019 5:51pm

Yeah. delayed until March 20th for the other platforms. No dates for Switch. Doom 64 is a preorder bonus and it gets releases on all platforms March 20th.
They clearly don't fear Animal Crossing.

In fairness i don't think there's much cross-over between Animal Crossing fans and Doom fans.

I tried that F2P Asphalt game. It's not bad, follows the same type of gameplay as a Need for Speed mobile game I played years ago, but I doubt I'll bother. The gameplay is very much designed for a mobile phone (races don't really have any skill element, just grind your car to the highest level) - and they last about 60 seconds. It looks fine, if a bit bland in the environments, that they try to make you ignore by shooting fireworks and particle effects everywhere. It's not a bad game, I just don't think it's suited to the Switch, which doesn't have the same pick up and play for 5 minutes type of user that mobile gaming has.

pasta-solo · 10-10-2019 11:13am

Demos for Resident Evil 5 & 6 available on the eshop now. Super Monkey Ball demo also likely to appear later, as its live on the eshop in Japan right now.

Have it pre ordered in GameStop. The only game I was raging I missed out on on GameCube.

Gave RE6 demo a blast. Surprisingly good looking. Controls are hard work (I'm on a lite). But overall it was impressive.

Retr0gamer · 14-10-2019 12:11am

Not sure what the RE6 demo is like but that game is baaaaaad!

RobbingBandit · 14-10-2019 4:51am

Keeping my eye out for Alliance Alive getting a retail release really don't want to buy of eshop

I wonder if the recent news is going to affect that actually. I was actually having second thoughts, and going to cancel the pre-order.

Why would it affect it? I'd be surprised if it's not one of the most active online shooters around. And most gamers don't care about the politics going on and just want to enjoy the game.

It's £22 on CD Keys at the minute so cheap enough.

Will be a patch tomorrow evening to include the new balance changes so will probably need a new download.

You mean the whole Hearthstone/Hong Kong thing?

I more mean sales, than launch. True enough on the latter, but if it makes mainstream news, who knows?

Anyways, I'll not derail this thread with that!

I'd say sales will still be good. I wouldn't be surprised if we see cross play shortly as well now that Sony have ok'd it.

The Hearthstone stuff? Doubt it, they've not acknowledged It at all.

Hello, I'm sorry if this is not the correct place to ask this question but I'm new to Boards.

I'm want to pre-order the digital version of The Witcher 3 for Nintendo Switch so I can pre-load ahead of time. However, the game is not appearing anywhere for me in the eShop? Is anyone else having this issue? I'd rather not have to buy the physical card tomorrow when it releases.

Thanks in advance!

No sign of it on the Irish eshop yet, though it is available on other regions strangely. I imagine it'll show up at midnight, or early tomorrow.
