Wife's gonna kill me with all my purchases this month for the Switch. D3, Yoku, Moonlighter, Taiko
Oh, the frame rate looks good...
...
And now it looks bad...
...
And now it looks good again.
I'll pass, thanks for the video!
Oh Gosh! Super Smash Bros Ultimate is £60!! BOTW money territory.
Pre-load is up with a 2x Gold Coin redemption. 13.6 GB.
With Fighter Pass, £82.48.
Horizon Chase Turbo now up for Pre-load, £17.99, 885MB.
OMG!! They're bringing ZX Spectrum game, Saboteur, from 1985, out next week. With the same graphics!!! £6.29. 200MB.
Play with Spectrum graphics or C64 graphics.
For comparison, movie poster of Revenge of the Ninja. The 80's were shameless in their rip-offs.
Damn, I played a hell of a lot of 'Saboteur' back as a child, but in its Amstrad CPC 464 version.
Back in the 80s, there was nothing as amazing in video games as to incarnate a ninja :)
Only to think in more Commodore 64 games eventually coming to Switch, my wallet is crying.
I will buy 'Uridium' and 'Werevolves of London' in a heartbeat.
And how amazing it can be to have the Commodore 64 port of 'Luftrausers' in its glorious 60 FPS, improving the rest of versions for modern systems.
Do you want another Metroidvania? = Yoku's Island Express.
Do you want a roguelike top-down action game? = Wizard of Legend.
Do you want a platforming adventure with a bigger story focus? = Owlboy.
Thanks, Nate! Game looks nice and solid, right up my alley. Is the combat unlocked at higher levels, or did you just choose to go for straight racing?
I'm just happy I am insensitive to these things. It's good enough to have fun, that's all I need. :-)
it seems to be a track/map issue. Runs perfectly smooth on one track in the video, seems to have issues on another. I hope the devs are committed to post launch optimization support for this...
Also damn Super Smash bros is already at no8 on the eShop charts in the U.K, despite being £60 which is £10 higher than the usual price. Never seen a game in this much demand before and I check the charts every couple of days on average.
Reckon it'll do well.

Nice! Please report back.
Yeah I watched that one. It's the most negative one I've seen.

Day one! This is a forgotten gem. I spent hours on this as a kid. I had the whole route through the game memorised. Never managed to get into the second one, though.
Yeah, it looks great on one track, and then you go to the next... I mean, watch from 9m50s on, it's looks bad enough to make the car hard to control.
I chose to show earlier tournaments, but the later ones have combat or you can do Classic races and have combat in those right away.
I dunno, I just watched it again to check things out before and after 9:50, and I really can't see any problems. Maybe it's different in person, but it's not like the game suddenly drops to 10 fps or something like that. But then again, I was watching with YouTube set to 720p/60fps, maybe that affected it...
Thanks! Nice to know there's an option to blow s**t up if I need to satisfy my violent tendencies. ;-)
for the performance spec obsessed out there:

hmmm not sure I want another metroidvania just now
How long is Owl Boy?
✓ 720p and 60 FPS in portable mode.
✓ Amazing soundtrack.
✓ Use of HD rumble.
✓ Artistic design filled with blue skies and vibrant colors.
✓ Drifting mechanics inspired in the GOAT 'OutRun 2006: Coast 2 Coast'.
Definitely, 'Horizon Chase Turbo' will be my racing arcade game for the next months :)
Did they change the OST for switch?
I don't remember the track that plays in the switch trailer from the Android version
I don't know if the track was new, I haven't read anything about changing the soundtrack.
But this version is supposedly based in the enhanced and improved release for Steam and Playstation 4 this year.
So maybe, they also expanded the soundtrack for this release.
I only know that this game plays all the right keys to satisfy my tastes regarding arcade racing games.
I even adore its low-poly art style. It's amazing how in these last years, some developers with some really low budgets, have achieved eye-popping and over the top games in the graphic department by relying in generic assets available in the Unity store. Through superb artistic directions relying in the simple good taste to choose a color palette.
I pre-loaded Smash. I only got Smash 4 on 3DS, never bothered with the Wii U version. I'm a complete amateur when it comes to playing Smash, so much so that I hope there's an extensive tutorial.
But what they've shown looks so good to me that I had to pre-load. 2x bonus on the Gold Coins too.

'Slipstream' is amazing, but a Switch port is something that will not happen in the short term.
Basically, the game is made by a single developer. He is still adding features to the game via updates.
And most importantly, the game seems to me made in a custom engine instead of in Unity. And Switch development kits for these type games not based in Unity are much more pricey, for a game that hasn't moved so many copies in Steam (based in the number of reviews).
Other thing is that the game is so damn good, that we can probably see some big publisher with access to development kits, getting the rights to port and publish the game in consoles.
The game really deserves to reach a bigger audience.
Does Astebreed come with the D.E. content of the PS4 version? It'd be crazy if it were a port of the pc version but you never know...
It takes time to condition and there is a learning curve to adjust to the speed and chaos. Understand that because the biggest hurdle is following the action properly, most give up before they can process it.
I found one of the best ways to learn is focusing on Smash attacks(directional charged hits) and shield. There will be all sorts of nonsense happening but if you kind of start focusing with those two fundamentals first the rest falls into place more naturally after. Reason is that they help ground you from flailing wildly while jumping around aimlessly, which everyone kind of does at first understandably. Acclimating to the timing and feel of a charged smash hit is both satisfying and helps your attention focus on your targets and not "where am I? What is happening?"
Just my thoughts given it was exactly how my friends and I went from disliking Melee at first to playing it constantly way back.
Woof, there's a higher number than usual of really bad ones this week and some are from games I would have expected better from. What's with the general regression?- Icons

- Games without name
Numbala (Row 2)
Grim Fandango Remastered (Row 3)
Machinarium (Row 4)
Diablo III Eternal Collection (Row 5) *It will be updated*
waiiit, is bad north out now?? I thought it was already out for Steam? but I don't see it. and How Long To Beat said it's a 10-20 hours game
Took the plunge on Transistor and played about 30 minutes of it and it runs flawlessly and looks even better on the Switch's screen.
I do really hope I get into it this time, though. Bastion is probably my favorite indie game of all time and cemented SuperGiant as one of those devs whose games I will buy day one, sight unseen but for some reason I just couldn't get into Transistor despite loving its world, art, music and pretty much everything on display. Pretty sure I was playing it wrong, so that could be it..
Anyway, just reporting that it runs great and hopefully Pyre will come sooner rather than later.
Funny, I'm exactly the same. Never played far into the PS4 version, and despite loving the look and feel, it never really clicked. Preordered on Switch and I'm pretty confident I can give it the love it deserves this time around.
Same.
Tho I want to give it a try again on my PS+ copy before spending money for it on Switch.
Just started night in the woods, the game is charming af but it does have some frame drops in busier areas. I know nothing about programming but, why do games like these have framerate issues? Certainly the switch should be able to run this game at 60fps with no cutbacks, right?
I'm also playing Night in the Woods. While I do like the game a lot, all that praise heaped on it everywhere had led me to expect more. I'm kind of underwhelmed, to be honest. Classic case of overhype. Don't regret my purchase or anything, but I wish I had gone in completely blind, with no expectations at all.

Check some reviews and gameplay. I was excited for it, but as soon as it became clear it was a rogue, I lost all interest. Looked extremely repetitive to me with no replay value. Visual style is cool tho.
