Thanks, guys. Seems like not buying it last night was the right choice, after all.
Gotta love these lads.
I'll very probably do a second playthrough next month.

ahh right, Rocket League ... forgot about that since I don't care about that and skip past it in the lists^^ ...but also didn't remember the Shantae and DD DLCs being on sale, huh.
Annoyingly curious that the exact DLC I'd been interested in (FE Warriors [also FE Echoes on 3DS] and M+R KB (have since bought the retail Gold Edition) are the ones that skipped every sale opportunity.
If you decide to buy the DLC, I don't think you'll regret it. You can play Fire Emblem Warriors practically forever. Like Disgaea, the main story is just the tutorial.

I'm interested too. I heard there were performance issues, but I might bite if they're not too bad.
It's fun for a bit then gets super repetitive. I never beat it. Always died around stage 6 I think. Eventually you unlock cool weapons... Then you stop.. then it's just a grindfest of course shooting the same enemies over and over
The game is now playable, but still rough.
The game is nice, the port is kinda crappy.
I was surprised at DD Dlc going on sale; I was on the verge of re-buying it!
Thanks for the explanation. Bundesliga has always been my favorite European league, sans Bayern.
Mario + Rabbids also gets discounted DLC with the Gold edition being discounted. I bought it with a 45% discount around E3.
That'S not DLC; that's the full game in its "complete" edition at a discount. The Season Pass has never been on sale (I checked every time).
My emails regarding a review copy or even when I can just buy the game myself to download keep getting ignored... Getting pretty annoyed and confused myself.
I have not, no.
I noticed you just posting about this game, and forgot to reply to you. I'd maybe wait to read some reviews and other impressions before jumping in immediately, whenever it releases. I bought the physical edition from Dispatch Games, which is really a nice Nicalis level of quality. It's just too bad I have minimal interest to put the cart back in. It was just a dull, unituitive, poorly designed game visually, kinda mess.
I hope I can read some other reviews and impressions myself, that would illustrate to me otherwise, as at this point, in just not interested in playing anymore.
Edit: Here's a review I found.
http://michibiku.com/review-penguin-kun-gira-gira-wars-roll/
I don't necessarily agree with the functional aspects of this review, from what I've experienced but the overall presentation is more garish, and overboard for me, than cohesive and fun, and flowing in a way that feels functional. The graphic style also feels a bit jarring, with somewhat PS2/3 era models as the players, and attendees being more bouncing and stretched out 2D stills hopping up and down. The visual package feels more chaotic and imploding, than streamlined, understandable, and functional.
I'd maybe watch some videos, to get an understanding of load times/gray screens in between, and how the visual style suits you.

I've seen the Shantae DLC on sale for sure so I checked Google to see if there was mention of it and I found this tweet from Wayforward.
The DLC I want that has never gone on sale is for Pinball FX3. They've had multiple sales on every other platform this year, including the Jurassic Park tables they released this year. I have no idea why they skip Switch entirely, it's not like the JP tables came at a later date than the other platforms.
Yea, I keep waiting for the season pass to go on sale, but its doubtful. really annoying.
Seems like publishers have been trying to train us for years to buy the ultimate edition from the beginning cause the dlc will never go on sale by itself. I know I've bought the base game and then way later the ultimate edition cause it's cheaper than buying just the dlc
So many fighters coming out soon, I might pick this up. Thanks for the footage
It's odd that this comes out in less than a week and there isn't that much marketing for it.
Just had a weird bug in Unexplored where the game failed to generate a floor and then when I tried to quit the game and load that save, it brought me back to an old save when I was on the second floor. I didn't even know it kept periodic saves rather than just overwriting them as most roguelikes do.
I still can't get over seeing Isaac fighting Umihara Kawase characters. I'm looking forward to this game.
Thank you for your input. I appreciate it!

I want to play as Gunvolt. I really like his games. Plus, he's the only character I'm familiar with for the most part.
You owe it to yourself to play Cave Story and especially Umihara Kawase. It's pretty much my favorite pure platforming series.
Gunvolt has a nice variety of moves in this game. Three different specials, can charge his special meter, and has long-range and close-range attacks. Actually uploading footage of Gunvolt/Lina right now, haha.

Ah, yes. I know the characters in Cave Story. ha. Silly me! I should just try the game out and see who all I recognize as I don't have a good recollection of who's all in the game! :)
Looks like 3D Mugen.
Is that Isaac's stage? Where's all the poop?
Isaac reminds me of one of those hidden easter egg characters in old Capcom arcade fighters, like Roll and Anita. There's a real lack of cohesion visually. Smash Bros really does a good job of trying to make all the different characters look more natural standing next to each other.
I'm also not feeling these character models in general. It looks a lot like higher resolution versions of those Code of Princess models, which makes sense I guess. Again, spoiled by ArcSys's amazing cel shading.
It's a really weird game. Capcom Fighting Jam vibes.
Personally, I'm pretty much never going to buy a 2D fighter that costs more than $15 on Switch outside Smash. The whole appeal for me would be handheld mode and that's a no-go with JoyCons. If I'm going to play on my TV I'll just get the games on PS4 where they'll look better and have a bigger playerbase.
Now, 3D fighters should work just fine with the JoyCons, I've never felt those games demanded arcade sticks or dpads. But we're not getting any 3D fighters on Switch, which sucks. No Tekken 7, no Soul Calibur 6, no Dead or Alive 6... hell, I'd be happy to get Dead or Laive 5 Last Round, the F2P version would be a great boon for the Switch audience.
Fuck that, I'd kill for a Switch port of last gen's Soul Calibur 2 HD. It would be amazing because we'd finally have all 3 of the guest characters in the same game!
Hopefully David Sirlin's Fantasy Strike game turns out good. Meanwhile I'm sticking with my Vita for handheld fighters.

Game of the Day
The world is over.
But it's not quite over for you... at least, not yet. And now that you've got thousands of tonnes of locomotive at your disposal, you've got the definite advantage over the infected hordes. This is The Final Station.
The real question is whether or not you'll help the survivors get to their destinations.... or let them die and loot their bodies. Sometimes people can be more trouble than they're worth.

- Infected are ready to stop your progress whenever you exit the train to look for supplies.
- Maintain your train in operating condition and craft valuable items from the resources you scavenge.
- Don't expect to shoot your way through the crowds of infected. Supplies and ammo are very limited.
- Pick up survivors along the way, gaining perks (and hindrances) for your troubles.
- Scavenge for loot at stations and craft useful supplies.

On the switch news section i just saw a EU article that says Hollow knight is with 34% discount on the eshop.
But when i go to the eshop, out of curiosity, the game is still full price.
If this is real i guess the game will be on discount when the eshop updates today.
I guess they want to recover the top sellers first place back from Dead Cells. xD
Didn't expected to see a sale so soon of a top seller indie.
Maybe it's because the new dlc is out today i think.

I was willing to wait for a sale but didn't expect one so soon. Can't wait to get it later today.
I'd guess it's because of the final content update releasing today!
I feel like they've been a week behind on the Hamster Neo Geo games in the last two PR announcements.
Didn't Real Bout come out last Thursday with Crossed Swords out today?
Should mean Football Frenzy is next week and we're due for the announcement of the next batch of Neo Geo titles soon.
Would be great to get Baseball Stars 2 before the World Series.

Don't know why I haven't played Kero Blaster yet given I've bought everything Pixel has put out. I'm ready to shoot up the place.

Are these game of the day posts recommendations or just informational ?
The other one was mainly for Gamescon/EU Indies. This one is for Pax/US indies and teased at the end of the last video.
Oh! thanks i didn't know your dog's backpack was carrying over next game.
