Flawless. Finished it last fall. Great port, great game. Story is a bit of a wash by the end though but it's pretty cool until you get there in terms of world-building. Highly recommended.
Fresh browser install fixed that for me a few years ago. Do you have any privacy/script blockers running?I really don't get what is going on with the european NIntendo website where I just can't seem to login either on my PC or phone, search doesn't work... the onloy way I can access my profile or do anything is from my iPad. Am I the only one in this? All the cookies are allowed on the domain name...

PSA:
Dunno if mentioned already, but there's a few Hamster's ACA\Neo Geo games on sale.
Among those,
ACA NEO-GEO:
TOP HUNTER Roddy and Cathy
is something that I think every 2D action platformer fan could enjoy. It's platformer/beat 'em up mash up with great graphics, up to 2 players co-op, often overlooked when Neo Geo games are mentioned and it's a shame cause it's also different enough to be a unique game in the platform's library. Btw, check the game's manual (hit + when playing) because there's many cool hidden special moves and they're also different per character.
at 50%off, around three fiddy, you should buy it and show Hamster that discounting different (good)games from the usual 10 same offerings would be rewarded with sales.
The problem is if it's 60 on switch I'd rather get it there because if it's text heavy it's easier for my nearsighted eyes to read an undocked switch than a tv screen.You answered your own question then. Most people who get Switch ports of games want it for the portability at the cost of performance.
Thanks for the recommendation. Bought it this morning and already played a bit with my fiancee and it's a blast. Kind of like a mix of Gunstar Heroes and Ristar
What I really want from them is an Uncharted Waters game.We're getting a Romance of the Three Kingdoms game in the west? That's huge!
I mean, I'd prefer Nobunaga's Ambition, but I'll take it.
Had never heard of Speed Limit but it looks like it could be incredibly fun to play...

Octahedron is 87% off on NA eShop, i've never heard about this game before and i think it's well worth the $2.07. I'm having a great time with it!
Been really enjoying Heaven's Vault—what's top notch adventure game with linguistic flair! It's been crashing on me fairly frequently though, has anyone else been having technical issues? I also have weird graphical glitches now and then when translating.
I'm also enjoying Heaven's Vault, but haven't experienced any crashes or visual glitches yet. I'm generally only dipping in for two locations at a time, though. I have had a tiny bit of trouble with what seems like joycon drift when translating, but that could just be my joycons finally going bad.
What is this game? I'm interested!Flawless. Finished it last fall. Great port, great game. Story is a bit of a wash by the end though but it's pretty cool until you get there in terms of world-building. Highly recommended.
More Koei Tecmo IPs are good in my book, especially ones that aren't that well-known.Uncharted Waters IV with Power-Up Kit HD Version announced for Switch, PC
Koei Tecmo has announced Uncharted Waters IV with Power-Up Kit HD Version for Switch and PC. A release date was not announced.www.gematsu.com
No news about localization yet.
What datHeaven's Vault sounds fascinating. Another one for the wishlist.
I wouldn't wait for it to go on Sale, they had a 10% off on PS+ on PS4 but still no sale on it since. They seem like one of two devs that will never put their stuff on sale. Though it is cheaper on Switch than PS4.Heaven's Vault sounds fascinating. Another one for the wishlist.
Good idea.Just booted up my day one copy of the Witcher 3 on Switch. On the one hand, I'm amazed that they were able to get this game running on the Switch at all...I respect the team for doing what they could with the Switch's limitations. They must be wizards.
On the other hand, the game look's like %&$# regardless on what post processing options I choose. About to trade in my copy and pick up the complete edition on the PS4 which just went on sale for $9.99 in NA.
Would only recommend if you have no other console to play it on or prefer to play portably. I don't fall into either camp. All that said, the game is much more bearable in hand held then docked
I understand where you're coming from but there are actually quite a few AAA game ports that perform exceptionally on the Switch. The catch is that they are from the 360 PS3 generation. Some good examples are Bullet Storm, Aliens: Isolation (Cross gen, I know), Saints Row the IV, etc.Good idea.
Maybe an unpopular opinion given the recent success of Nintendo, but unfortunately, Nintendo is more of an Indie/AA machine than it is a AAA machine. The only really good AAA video games on the console are those done my Nintendo for the most part; and that's how I usually approach it. Don't get me wrong: it's impressive what they're able to do with the little thing, but they can only go so far.
Agreed!I understand where you're coming from but there are actually quite a few AAA game ports that perform exceptionally on the Switch. The catch is that they are from the 360 PS3 generation. Some good examples are Bullet Storm, Aliens: Isolation (Cross gen, I know), Saints Row the IV, etc.
Outside of these, yes, contemporary third party AAA games are not ideal with the exception that they make great handheld games (Xcom 2, Empire of Sin, CIv VI, etc)

Bricks Defender 4
I'll try to only answer about the collections and not the quality of the actual games.How are the Mega Man, Mega Man X, and Mega Man Zero/ZX collections on Switch?
I'll try to only answer about the collections and not the quality of the actual games.
Megaman legacy collection has added rewind for the first 6 games. The second collection only has save states and those are checkpoints rather than a direct snapshot (so no rewind). The first 6 games also feature the Japanese versions. I think there was crippling slowdown in Megaman 5 on 3DS, but not sure if it was in the switch version. The Japanese version had none, so you can play that if you experience it. No performance issues otherwise that I can tell (besides what was originally there), but some people report input delay in the first collection (I am not as sensitive to this, so maybe look at the OTs). There are also challenge modes there are pretty fun reimagining of the stages. 8 is based off the PlayStation version (no Saturn version available). The DLC for 9 and 10 is also present. The second collection was developed internally, so you might notice some differences in presentation.
The X collection has no save states. It's just the usual save system from the games (saves added to 1-3 and also passwords if you want to use those).1-3 are based off the SNES versions and there is reportedly input delay in those versions (I don't notice this like others, but it's been widely reported). The other games seem fine in terms of performance. The challenge mode this time is a 1v2boss rush. It's fine, but not as good as the challenges. These games also have international versions as well. I think a song was changed in one of the later games, that made people upset, but I never played them back then so didn't know. You can buy the first 4 games in one collection if you only want those thankfully.
The Zero/ZX collection is probably the best of the bunch.Itbuses the DS versions of the zero games so has better sound. The ZX games have options for uncompressed sound and the cutscenes are also uncompressed, so they look the best they have. Those games have the touch functions mapped to the right stick and a ton of placement options for the virtual second screen. Unfortunately no touch functionality when undocked. The challenge mode in this is more of a time attack mode.There is an optional checkpoint system this time, so no direct save states/rewind. Japanese and international versions are also playable. This game even has the e-reader cards for zero 3 and the link function for ZX that simulates having the GBA games in the card slot of the original DS. I embedded a great video detailing all the differences between the prior releases
All games have various filter, screen, and border options. Plus adjustable control settings. Hope that helps.
You're welcome. I should also say that some games have amiibo support and there is free DLC for the ZX collection that adds some new music tracks to the menu.
Wait, the Switch version is 60fps? I wasn't expecting that, but that's great to hear. How does it perform otherwise? Any issues?Just bought Haven and played for an hour.
I'm in LOVE with this game. It plays great (60 fps!), looks nice and has a cool premise. So romantic. And a great soundtrack:

Damn, is it actually that good?
Seemed a bit too... lovey-dovey for my tastes, but then again, I'm pretty much the opposite of romantic.
