Yeah, you've sold me. I had completely forgotten he directed Chulip too.I think it's a pretty safe purchase. Love-de-lic produced some truly wonderful games, and Black Bird is the latest project from a former LDL dev.

You've pretty much sold me on the PS4 version.Sinner is 30fps on Switch and I had some minor drops in my playtime. I have a PS4 vs. Switch comparison up for the title, if that interests you.
Thing about this is that it's a free to play game on mobile. Expensive as hell on Switch. I don't know much about the game so not sure if it's the exact same Gear Club.
PS4 version is 30fps as well, but has better visuals.
Looks really good. Normally $14.99 but if you pre-purchase from the eShop before launch, it's 33% off, which makes it $9.99.
...Oh. I had assumed it'd be 60. 99% of the time I couldn't care less about 30 vs 60 but this seems like a game that would benefit from a full 60. Guess that means I'll get the Switch version. I don't care about the loss of shadows at all.
Seriously. I need these.Now where's Hydra Castle Labyrinth, Super 1001 Spikes EX and and 90s Super GT?
I'm not sure how this is possible but I'll take it :)Dark Souls broke street date in some places. Many people are saying that it is smoother in handheld mode than docked. Hopefully Digital Foundry will cover it.
I am not sure either lol
Uh. So it's been a month since Nintendo Online Services launched and I couldn't help but notice two things:
Still no info whatsoever on those "Special Offers." Really cool to sell a service with a promise and not deliver before a 1 month sub expires.
Number two, I guess NOS had nothing to do with MyNintendo rewards on Switch because still no Switch rewards.
Still nothing about Phantasy Star this week? I'm in the middle of TWEWY Final Remix, but I kind of also can't wait for the game to come out so I can play through it.

Nope, nothing. Checked the Japanese eShop a few hours ago just in case there was an unlikely stealth release. You would think next Thursday would be the day, but there's a real possibility it slipped to November.
Agreed on that.Well let's just agree that an upsetting number of Switch ports, whether they be big studio efforts or little indies, are frustratingly sub-par and fail to meet expectations.
Mark of the Ninja runs at 30fps, for chris's sake.
When the issues are that wide spread it's pretty clear to me that optimization on Switch is difficult, not that developers aren't trying.
Yes. As all these mobile-to-Switch ports are. There's also a sequel coming soon that is exclusive to Switch/PC.But isn't it complete package with no micro transactions? I don't think these games should be compared to their free to play mobile versions.
I'm looking forward to seeing what people think of Black Bird (comes out tomorrow). I actually picked up Million Onion Hotel on iOS earlier in the week and it's really fun and does a good job of working the bizarre worldbuilding into its mechanics, and the trailer for Black Bird looks really promising in a similar way. The humor in Onion Hotel is uhhhh very hit-or-miss for me though, like it's almost mid-00s Newgrounds type stuff at times.
20 dollars puts it slightly outside of a 'just try it' price range for me, so I'll probably wait for others' impressions.
Fox is not French!I have never played a Starfox title but, none of the other usable pilots caught my attention. A talking French Fox wins everyday haha...!
Yeah, he's clearly Scottish.Fox is not French!
His last name is McCloud, for Corneria's sake! :)
A friendly reminder that if Rockstar announces at some point 'Red Dead Redemption' for Switch, they are a company with hundreds of millions of dollars to invest in marketing.
We will read the news in every single web, we will have dedicated threads in Era, every single Nintendo web will publish a review of the game in the release week.
But these eShop threads were created to talk and give visibility to small games, made by small developers, normally with zero dollars to invest in things like marketing.
At this point, for most of the new Switch releases, it's almost impossible to find online reviews in the release week.
So it will be cool if we don't derail these eShop threads talking about unannounced games, and try to focus instead in some of the amazing releases this month.
This week, we have a landmark in video game history with the release of 'Black Bird': the first console release made by Yoshiro Kimura in the last 12 years.
It has been a long time, we have missed you, Kimura-san.
Yeah, loved Little Kings, cool dude. Bought Black Bird blindly on the trailer alone. Will give some impressions later.

Yes, the scene is is thriving, I for one am very glad.If Satoru Iwata was alive today, he will be very proud of seeing 'Black Bird' and 'Work x Work' released in the same month.
This is the Japanese independent video game industry that the envisioned.
Eplexia was making a point about highlighting great actual indies with that example.Really don't think it's likely that we'll get RDR.. It's never been re-released on PC or anything and I remember hearing rumors that the source code is a mess.

Quick Black Bird impressions: so this is basically Fantasy Zone super whack edition. You control a raven of sorts that spouts...balls I guess. You can level up speed etc. You got bombs (can be leveled too) and life points (only one life though). You can fly left or right and have to shoot spawn guys and keep your combo up. Then you face a boss - pretty straight forward. The music is great - kind of like a love child of Mr Bungle and opera. Only scratched the surface but I like it, you unlock rankings and practice after your first run.
Any impressions on Missing? Really want to support it on Switch but considering PS4 version...

Just finished Mark of the Ninja Remastered. It was my first time with the game and really enjoyed it, I can see why people talk so highly of it. I really want to try Starlink but I'm going to be getting Diablo 3 in a couple of weeks so I think I'll hold off for now.
It's Ubi so I wouldn't put it past them to put the game on sale for a Black Friday sale. Honestly pretty excited about the sales this year, got a lot of eshop credit and a big vacation in December.
WORKxWORK isn't an indie game and, sadly, seems pretty mediocre from what I've read and seen these past few days. Some funny dialogues and crazy characters, cute art style, but extremely limited in terms of scope and gameplay. Loadings get a tad annoying, too.If Satoru Iwata was alive today, he will be very proud of seeing 'Black Bird' and 'Work x Work' released in the same month.

There is no bundle for Switch. And there won't be one.Mega Man X games are on sale in UK, can anyone check if the 30th Anniversary bundle is up?
Damn, why do you say there won't be one?
