Nintendo Switch eShop Thread

And order has been restored, my assumption validated.

Reminds you of Cave story you say? BUY. IT.

Joking aside I saw the trailer for Celeste a couple days ago & it looks right up my street.

It was the music that got me. Celeste? Sell-us . . . a copy of Celeste.

I'm quite keen on Celeste, but I'm dead chuffed that the next Steamworld game is a sequel to my most loved Steamworld; the original Dig was quite theraputic.

Also very nice that it is not procedural & has more emphasis on exploration/platforming.

...say what, Jas!? The thing I disliked about the original was its procedural nature! If they've scrapped that, I might have to give it another look.

Yeah I seen Matt Lees of Cool Ghosts mention this on twitter since he had played it at GDC, seems like they are going for more of a Metroidvanialike game instead.

Tomorrow you'll be able to download all of these:

ACA NEOGEO METAL SLUG 3
ACA NEOGEO THE KING OF FIGHTERS '98
ACA NEOGEO WAKU WAKU 7
ACA NEOGEO WORLD HEROES PERFECT
ACA NEOGEO WORLD SHOCK TROOPERS
FAST RMX
I Am Setsuna
New Frontier Days: Founding Pioneers
Othello
Shovel Knight Treasure Trove
Shovel Knight: Spector of Torment
Snipperclips - Cut it out, together! (demo also available)
VOEZ
Vroom in the Night Sky

DLC
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild - Expansion Pass
Just Dance 2017 - Just Dance Unlimited 1 or 30 or 90 Days or 1 Year Pass

Fast RMX, I Am Setsuna, Shovel Knight and Snipperclips which I think EofGiz is getting, so I may not unless the single player is decent.

I may look at something like Vroom if I've got any left over eShop credit and be a laugh to stream it.

I bloody love Metroidvanias. Bring it on, Rusty. Or, er, Rusty's green-faced replacement.

Got I Am Setsuna, FAST and Shovel Knight.

Yet to give Setsuna a go but have done two cups in FAST and does seem to be a improvement over the Wii U, in SK I did the first level and is better then I remember but that might be new console shininess creeping in.

Is it true that in Fast RMX there's no way to play online with friends?

That is correct and from what EofGiz has told me it's the same for Bomberman, he thinks it will come but when the App comes.

That really is rubbish but even more bizarre is that the devs of these launch games didn't build in their own friend lobbies, hopefully MK8 doesn't follow suit next month.

That's one way to save me some money in the meantime then

It is daft but maybe Nintendo won't allow it for some reason.

The news page on the Switch says that the App is coming mid 2017, hopefully that's in time for Kart.

Before its official launch in autumn 2017, a free, limited version of this smart device app will be available in summer 2017.

It sounds like the free version is launching with Splatoon 2.

Makes sense as said elsewhere before that's something you need the online working for.

I'm with Andy on this one, I would have been all over Fast RMX/Bomberman if we could get a regular crowd for it but seeing as we can't I will be giving them a miss.

It's only like 20 Days away to the App dropping hopefully for Splatoon 2 and then see from thier if we can set up lobbies etc for those two games and by then you may also want to try something else on the system.

I hope Pocket Rumble comes after the App in March.

Mas must mean for the Testfire at the end of the month.

ahh I see, he made it seem like the app was 20 days away. Anyhow the testfire still won't be a good indicator of the Switch's online because even the wii U's testfire didn't have friend lobbies.

I did mean the Testfire, I thought I read that on your post Jas when you said Splatoon 2 but I imagined it . Could be bad for Kart 8 Deluxe, if the App isn't ready and needs it.

HMMMMM.
This is a little frustrating. I still may grab FRMX next week, as a nice racer would be ideal on a handheld, but colour me disappointed. Hopefully this stuff is patched in sooner rather than later.

Yeah, not being able to play with you guys has turned me off buying Fast RMX unfortunately.

I think I'll go for I am Setsuna to round off my launch game line-up alongside Shovel Knight, Snipperclips and BotW. How is Setsuna holding up, Mas?
