One day I'll catch on to that, I should have know with the razz face tbh.

Question. The Solaire Amiibo. Does that just give you an early Praise the Sun gesture - Is that all they said it does?

If so... I have a theory for another thread...

Aye that's all they said it does, oh looking forward to seeing what that theory is.

Somewhere in here...

Nindies Showcase coming on Tuesday 20th March. Hoping to see two Runs: bow and ner3. And more, of course! Is there anything you want to see, fellow forumite?

Undertale release date would be nice, I suppose?

That's pure filth.

To answer your questions though I'd quite like to see if the likes of Wargroove or Pocket rumble are anywhere near close to release, latter was meant be near the launch until they ran into problems.

Ooh nice, the last one was packed with cool looking stuff, an update on Pocket Rumble anyone?

Would something like Fortnite count and would that be more of an E3 thing like Rocket League last year?

I mentioned Hyper Light Drifter elsewhere: I'd love to see that announced for Switch.  Otherwise, give me Towerfall on Switch too please: I want to give MMG all of my hard-earned dosh (and some of my more easily earned dosh too).

Can't see them announcing a UT release date given that we got 'coming eventually' only a week or so ago, sadly.

Think it's no enough for E3 definitely although I do wonder if Nintendo would allow the game just yet with it still being early access, fairly sure they've never done that yet.

Fortnite Battle Royale isn't in early access far as I'm aware as it's on PlayStation for a start and Early Acces games are pretty much a no go on PlayStation and can't find anything on the PC side to say it is either but mobile does sort of seem to be in a trail like state.

Just isn't much content as it's a game as a service game.

Oh it'd also be ace to see The Swords of Ditto come to Switch.

I'll second the request for a Pocket Rumble update. I'm also keen to hear more about Wargroove.

Pocket Rumble and Wargroove are both pretty interesting, hopefully we'll get an idea when they're coming. I'm mostly hoping for lots of brand new things for me to get excited about but never play.

Hollow Knight is one we've not heard when it's coming and as a backer, I'd like to you know finally play it.

Oh yeah, Bonfireside Chat covered that and said it was the best Souls-like they'd played outside the FROM titles, definitely on my agenda.

It literally says "early access" on the loading screen.

Forgotten about Wargroove, would love that.

I've not played it and don't think I've ever heard anyone say it is where PUBG you often do and that's one of the reasons PUBG isn't on PS4 and why Ark wasn't on PS4 till it was done and why I thought it wasn't in Early Access.

As it's just something that doesn't happen often on PS4 which does go back to what you were first saying we Early Acces games happen on Switch.

Oh aye, by wanting to know more I basically mean I want a release date for them.

New stuff would be ideal.

Hollow Knight is another good shout, more Metroid-likes for Switch is always a good thing.

Nintendo themselves called them Metroidvanias, the dream is dead Jas.

Hey! You already know I like telling developers they're wrong about their own games.
