Nintendo Switch eShop Thread

Fair enough, I'd be nobody's first choice to talk about retro graphics. It looks closer to some SNES games than to Undertale, or even the first part of The Messenger, anyway.

Weird things on the eShop round-up: bullshots in the eShop trailer of Xenon Racer, and... er... a Hyper Light Drifter Netflix show. Weird. Should look pretty if nothing else - prettier than the Switch version of Xenon Racer, anyway.

Yeah, not sure how they are going pull off an HLD show when the game only uses it's visuals to tell the story. I know I wasn't big on the game but you take away that from it you lose a bit of the magic.

Cyber Shadow looks sick and tight. I love that just as Dark Souls' creators move onto a minute ninja game, so do Shovel Knight's.

I trust Adi Shankar to put out a good product - Castlevania was ace.

Don't get me wrong, I am intrigued. Bewildered, but intrigued.

Ace Attorney and Hellblade out this week. Anybody picking them up?

In other news, I now have five games on my watchlist and rising. How's everybody else's looking?

About 15 or 16 on the watch list for me

I really want Hellblade and thankfully the port is sounding like a really good one but I'd feel gulity buying it then not playing it for months due to other games I'm planning to get next week. I still need to finish Odallus and start Guacamelee 2 as well.

Would that be Cuphead and or Katana Zero?

Yep, Katana zero and Cuphead are day one buys, Im interested in dragons dogma but might hold off first until I see a few reviews.

I'd be interested to see views on Katana. Cuphead... nah, too hard for me I reckon.

I'm definitely pushing 30 in age and games on my wishlist and these next few weeks haven't helped that.

My watchlist is full

I just saw (Roman) Reigns Game of Thrones is out, anyone played any of the others or this one on mobile? Plus a f2p Warhammer card game is out tomorrow which is something the interests me but just makes me want Pokemon TCG on Switch.

Cuphead is something I want physical that if it is to hard I can sell on or it comes to Game Pass which I think it might do around the time of the DLC.

Reigns is a real funny one, it’s a game with so much promise that’s fun for the first 5-10 deaths but any attempt to actually complete the game just becomes down to the luck of the cards which really trashed my opinion of them. As Throwaway fun they’re great, as a game they’re bad

I also maxed out my watchlist the other day. I think the limit is 200...

I did buy it and used some gold.

How would you say you finish it? Is it doing all the in game achievements? Unlocking all the characters (like it used to be with fighting games)? Or is it dying of old age (I'm guessing this a thing)?

The idea is the break the curse I believe

I googled it and you have to unlock all the characters and then you have to replay each one to do something which will unlock that characters ending.

Thanks all!

Has anyone gone for Cuphead? in what seems to be a decent day for the eShop also I'm hearing good things about Dawn of Survivors but that might be because it's only £1.59 and looks rather competent for that price.

I'm playing Cuphead on Switch just now, but I've got nothing new to add to what's already been repeated over the last eighteen months: looks great, sounds great, hard as fuck.

Just hard as fuck, or too hard? I'd reckon that I get on with hard games slightly better than you do Cappa, so if it breaks you I should probably stay away. The positive reviews have me tempted though...

You're getting me mixed up with someone else, probably. I can cope with hard games, it's shite games that I don't get on with. But, back to your question, it's too early in my playthrough to say - sorry!

Maybe I am, I thought there was somebody here who wasn't keen at all on games who advertise themselves as being nails, and I thought it was you. Wrongly, obviously!

Might have been me - I don't have the patience to try the same part of a game over and over and over ad infinitum. I've got other things to do! I'm very busy and important!

Cuphead does look amazing but I think it might make me tear my hair out.

I bought Cuphead but not started it yet as I also picked up Katana Zero & after a few hours it is very very good, tight controls, well designed levels that have only got better with progression and a story that has me intrigued to what will happen next.
