Yeah, Littlewood really scratched that itch for a life sim when I played it a little while back.

this was up there with Haiku the Robot in "why isn't this day 1 on Switch again?" category
It was supposed to release at the same time as the PC version but they ran into some snags just before launch.
Coromon. There was some hitch with the online component that forced them to delay.
Aw yeah, Forager is pretty great too. Humble Games has also been on a role on Switch on that note, along with Forager.

I've got a quiet night shift ahead of me at work so I'm going to take my Switch in with me so obviously I've treat myself to a new game, Elechead.
Just played a few minutes of it there and it's a bit weird how it doesn't fill the whole screen, but nm. It's like when you play the N64 games and it has those horribly massive black borders :(

And this is done. The game was a lot shorter than I expected, but good fun. If you're into puzzle games with a very old school aesthetic, I'd recommend.
Question: if I've preordered a game on the eshop and chosen my debit card as the payment method but then later add an eshop card balance, will it pull from the balance first like Amazon does? Or just ignore the balance and still pull from my card?
I believe the last one. You'd have to cancel the pre-order and then pre-order again selecting the gold coins option first.
Ugh, wound up caving on my "avoid trying to avoid buying multiplats on Switch" stance already and bought the Castlevania Advance Collection on Switch a couple of days ago.
1) Target only had Switch version on its website...and I had a $5 gift card there that I have had for over a year
2) It was on sale for $13 for the Switch version, only
3) I had a hectic last day for preparing to go on vacation...and forgot to bring Triangle Strategy and Metroid Dread with me like I planned; wanted something else to play in addition to the Cuphead DLC which won't take too long to complete
4) Something about buying the Castlevania Advance games in handheld mode...seemed fitting/nostalgic (I owned Circle of the Moon and Aria of Sorrow on the GBA; can't remember about Harmony of Dissonance).

I remember paying like $4 for Portal 2 and I know it's gone on sale for $2. And I think this was off the Steam store (not even cd keys or eneba...).
Basically steam has changed the game and I refuse to buy any muliplat for the Switch going forward. It's pure exclusive machine now just like PS5.
Really tempted by F.I.S.T but I just read on Nintendo Life that the load times are bad.
Anyone know if we're talking Souldiers levels of loading? (also seems like that's getting patched the week of 18th July)
*fake edit* That'll teach me to only read the pros/cons

Fuck that
Surprise, a new eShop Kirby spinoff game is coming!

Was a Sandisk class 10 256gb card worth £17.99? Finally upgrading from a 128gb so I don't have to keep uninstalling games.
The best option I can think of is that she may be able to play as Cappy with one hand while another player controls Mario. Alternately, maybe there's a Switch adaptive controller sold by a third party that puts all buttons on one controller? I wonder if the Xbox adaptive controller or something similar can be paired to a Switch.
F.I.S.T is pretty good so far! It looks alright in handheld mode and the loading times are not too bad, and kind of infrequent in general since you're not moving between main areas often enough for it to be a problem (yet).
It's like a jankier Metroid Dread, not only in structure but in how good it feels to control the character in general. The abilities and combat are also pretty fun so far despite being like barely two hours into it.
I would definitely recommend it. Even if the story is pretty conventional and the voice acting is off-putting (your main rabbit guy is absurdly gruff and a complete action-hero cliche so far), the world itself is interesting. It's a bit like Blacksad meets Oddworld.

Thanks, I'd mentioned the Xbox controller but that $100 buy in is always tough to sell.
I've been playing Eastward, I'm currently on Chapter 4 or 5? I'm still in New Dam City. The game is absolutely beautiful but I feel like the plot has been kinda meandering until just now where I'm at, and the gameplay is a little too basic. I feel like the kind of puzzles I've been solving are the same I've been solving the whole game and the combat is kinda boring and shallow. I'm still gonna push through because the game is so charming, but I can't help but feel like there's a lot of missed potential so far
This isn't filling me with confidence for trying it when I get home :(

How is this? I've had my finger hovering over the buy button!

I've only played it for about two hours, and I'm enjoying it so far, but yeah the load times still aren't the best (though they don't happen that frequently). The frame rate does stutter occasionally, but it's not bad enough to affect me.
Don't know if this has been posted before or of this was known to be coming but apparently Strange Horticulture is coming to the Switch on July 28th. I've heard a lot of praise for the game and it's sitting with an Overwhelmingly Positive review score on Steam. Looks to have a pre-order discount as well going by the eShop (showing as 25% on the UK one so should be similar on other stores).
Very curious to see what the game is like as I've been curious since I was hearing the buzz about it earlier in the year.

It's a fantastic game! Very chill vibes, lots of different endings, and thank god for labeling because my memory is crap. Hope you enjoy it!
I dropped it after about 5 hours. Style over substance for sure.
Has anyone played Bit Orchard?
It's a Gameboy looking farming game that looks really interesting but I'm not sure how much game there actually is? It's on PC too but looks like Switch version may have some DLC content that I don't see listed on Steam so I was thinking about picking it up on Switch.
I'm playing through FE 3 Houses right now for the first time after owning it since launch 👀 Only 8 hours in with Golden Deer and I am having a really good time, but I must admit the Monastery stresses me out as there are so many things to do but you have limited actions so I have no idea if I'm royally screwing up or not lol.
Also, I'm playing on Normal and still find it not easy at all which is concerning as everywhere online says it's steamroll easy on normal….but I do suck at strategy games so that's likely the reason!

Hope this gets more attention on Switch, it's absolutely one of the gems of the year
The loading time is rather long indeed (~40-50secs). However, it loads the entire zone at once. I feel I did this like once or twice in 40~50 mins gameplay. Visual-wise it holds up okay but plays very very nice most of the time. Obviously the PS5 version looks way nicer but definitely still a good experience on the go with the Switch.

I'm tempted to put an order in to get that sweet 10% off

it was already pretty cheap in EU to begin with (12.49€ or 12.99€ something like that, less than 15 lol) so this is extra nice. will deffo day 1 it, first one was a very decent zelda clone.
I don't remember having any particular control issues when I played it. The controls are overall just as garbo as any other Souls/like.
So right now Resident Evil Zero and Revelations 2 are on sale on the Switch. What's the consensus on which is better as a game and as a port? I enjoyed both Revelaitons 1 on 3DS and REmake on the Switch, so I know I'd probably enjoy both.
I do know that Revelations 2 has a partner system so I guess it'll have less backtracking and that the puzzles will be tied to that, and that Zero seems to be similar to REmake in terms of gameplay and art direction but not as good as the first one, which I'm prepared for. Just getting a new setting/story is good for me.
I also have a ps4.
Edit: Wait, Revelations 2 has gyro? That's a plus for sure...

Whaaaat? That's unacceptable. Particularly for a 2D sprite based game. What went wrong?
To me the thing that makes me reluctant to get Digimon at launch is the fact that they deep discounted the last Digimon game fairly quickly (and with deep discounts to boot). I know that seems weird.
I've been following Eastward's development for a long time and was super bummed when I finally got to play it. Like you said, it's quite a looker, but man it's just not very fun to play. I had a much better time with a game like Blossom Tales, where the visuals might not be that tier, but it's a joy to spend time on. Eastward just felt like a chore almost right off the bat.
I'm still slowly plodding along in Eastward, I think I'm halfway through or a bit further so I feel like I may as well see it to the end.
However, the game has made me go back and replay Mother 3. I haven't played Mother 3 in probably 10 years (I did play through Earthbound again more recently) but it's just as good as I remember and only reinforces the issues I have with Eastward
Bright Memory Infinite is out tomorrow and I've played about an hour or so of the game. I even recorded gameplay to show it off. It's not every day we get a first person shooter. I think it plays pretty well for it being on the Switch and at times I found myself going 'oh, that looks nice.'. It's $19.99, but who knows if it'll have a launch day sale or not.
