Nintendo Switch eShop Thread

I also recommend Namco Museum for £14.99. It's a bit incomplete right enough, but it's far from a lazy port of old ROMs - in fact, it does more with the Switch, it's design and it's features than it probably needs to. But in a good way!

Neato - that's the one I went for, despite the backlog, hoping for multiplayer PacMan vs fun. I will get Dig2 and Yooka-Laylee at some point.

Anyone for Brawlout on Tuesday? Looks a competent enough Smash Bros clone. Four armed Frog, Final Location, No items.

I've got some credit in my American account that I may go for it.

Do any of youse have any recommendations?

I don't know if it's on sale, but the one game I'd wholeheartedly recommend that I've played on eShop so far (if you're playing without friends in the room) is Severed, i.e. what the Guacamelee lot did next that's nothing like Guacamelee. Well worth a pop if it's cheap and you've not played it on another device.

I'm pretty keen, but ideally I'd like a demo before I take the jump.

I've just downloaded Steamworld Dig 2 for £10.99.

That might be my Game Of The Year.

In other news, I've downloaded Enter The Gungeon. I'll let you know.

I have this on ps4, and it's a great wee game but like others in the rouge-like genre I get to a stage where I stop playing because I'd rather be on other games that have the normal beginning/middle and end sort of progress. The style of it definitely fits a Nintendo system really well though & the Switch itself really is the perfect rouge-like console due to how easy it is just have a quick go on something.

I got a code for it and played a bit. You know when I said I liked Melee as it felt faster then the other SMASH games, I think the team behind Brawlout saw that and turned the speed up to 11.

Get this. Buy it, on release: Old Man's Journey on Switch. An absolutely gorgeous game that I've played through on my phone and will certainly double dip for.

That is some recommendation! I'm sure I'll pick it up once I've whittled my backlog down a bit.

...

Night in the Woods is coming this week also Darkest Dungeon, those are two huge indies. I've not played either but NitW is such a Mas game, just it was £18 on PSN, I thought it was a bit pricey,  I think that same about the price on Switch of $18.99 but I've got $16 in my USA account.

I've heard good things abut Night, that and Oxenfree are two games I've got earmarked to sit down and play on a rainy day some time.

Oxenfree is one of my favs.

There's so many amazing little titles like the aforementioned Oxenfree and Old Man's Journey that I want to pick up eventually, but much like Balla, I'd feel far too guilty being new games when I've so many older titles to play first!

I understand exactly what you're saying there, Jay, and I'm trying to pull back on my day one purchases so that I can spend more time with my backlog (cf. me plugging my Wii U back in). That said, I'm getting to the stage where there are games I know I'll never get back to. One of the reasons I recommend Old Man's Journey so readily is that it's quite short and, I believe, genuinely worth experiencing.

Looks like a Mas game and glad it's coming to gaming system.

This is me. This is also me, regretting my purchase of Skyrim. I mean, it's nice to send a small marker to Bethesda, saying 'we want more of this'... but I haven't even put it in the machine yet. Too many games (on the dancefloor).

Blimey. The top score for Celeste from Nintendo Life. That might have made me buy the game - coupled with the fact that I'm chatting about its excellent difficulty adjustment settings on Twitter through the forum's account. I'm also up for Shu, which looks like it's got my name on it.

I really do want Celeste but despite it having a lot of content from what I hear £17.99 seems a bit steep of a price for what type of game it is and the fact I still have plenty left unplayed on Switch. I reckon I'll wait until its on sale.

Hadn't even heard about this until the reviews came out, definitely taken notice but like Jas I'll be waiting for now.

Gosh darn it!  Like y'all, I hadn't paid much attention to this until it harvested that 10/insert other review score of choice here.  It doesn't entirely look like my thing, I'm worried it might feel a bit Shovel Knight-y, but... hnrrrrrrrrrgh.

Blimey. The top score for Celeste from God Is A Geek. Stop me if you've heard this bef

And at the other end of the spectrum...

Oh wow - I've been using a modern game engine for about 6 hours in total and even I know not to make menus like that in this millennium. Oh wow. Mario Tennis Aces is already looking better.

Celeste has been on my radar for a while now and I'm glad to see it's reviewing well. One for after MHW, methinks.
