Nintendo Switch Game News and Releases.

Mr E

I was browsing Twitch over the weekend and one of the streamers I follow was playing Hollow Knight. It came out on PC in February to amazing reviews. I was tempted to grab it on Steam and stopped when I saw that it was coming to Switch some time this year. It's a 30+ hour huge dark souls metroidvania hybrid with gorgeous hand drawn art and a great aesthetic. Amazing music too.

Come on, Switch version... hurry up.

the physical version wont require the space

Oh I know that was just wondering was it digital only.
I buy all my games physical.
It's important from a marketing perspective too IMO. More games on the shelf makes it more attractive for the average consumer.

Yeah, it's appeared on the eShop last night. Looks like we might get the Puyo Puyo Tetris demo on Thursday too (for those too lazy to invent an imaginary Japanese friend).

Mr E

THQ Nordic are publishing Grasshopper's bullet hell shooter Sine Mora EX on Switch.

Here is a trailer for the regular Sine Mora (not EX) to show you what it's like.

Hopefully there is lots of new content in the EX version - the original game is about 5 years old but still looks great.

That would be sad news! Great to have it as a Wii U exclusive. Didn't Nintendo fund it, wonder would they allow it on other consoles? Might be wrong about that. My guess is Bayonetta 1 on PC. My dream is Bayonetta 3 on Switch and a special edition Trilogy pack.

A Bayonetta sequel with Ltd Edition Triple Pack cart - even if it just authorises you to download the first 2 - would be sweeeeeeeet. Loved the 2nd one, need an excuse to go back to the 1st one. If they could work in a plot point that explains why the first two make no fecking sense at all, that would only sweeten the deal.

This +1

Don't do it to yourselves folks, it'll be Bayonetta on Steam launching today or this week.

Banjo

or... could this be Hideki Kamiya's teased DLC campaign for Arms, starring Bayonetta.... and called Legs?

MilesMorales1

It is indeed Bayonetta getting a steam release.

nairy hipples

Its just the original Bayonetta on PC???

pasta-solo

Oh well! This is mean, because it's a great game that everyone should get the chance to play, but I'm kinda glad it's not Bayonetta 2going multi platform! Those who dislike Nintendo for whatever reason would be insufferable in their doomsday predictions!

Has anyone given The Sexy Brutale a go? Very tempted, but still very Zelda at the moment.

Add to that:

Puyo Puyo Tetris - April 2017
Disgaea 5 Complete - May 23
Fate/Extella - July 25
Project Mekuru - Summer 2017
Sonic Mania - Summer 2017
Sine Mora EX - Summer 2017
Battlechasers: Nightwar - Summer 2017
Namco Museum - Summer 2017
Monopoly - Autumn 2017
Sonic Forces - Holiday 2017
Rayman Legends: Definitive Edition - 2017
Payday 2 - 2017

And then that half the direct was spent on the 3DS (you know the console with 65 million units out there that's still being supported), I can't say I'm that disappointed.

Mr E

Kamiko is out in the Japanese eShop and it has an English language option. 500 Yen (just under €5).
Get a 1000 Yen card here for €11.31.

I think Puyo Puyo is the same day as Mario Kart.

Mr E

Yes it is.

It looks like Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap is out next week too.

CiDeRmAn

I have a definite want for PuyoPuyo/Tetris, and Mario Kart 8 Dx and WonderBoy means this is going to be an expensive April for this gamer

Is it coming to Switch? Thought it was just PC, XBone and PS4

Mr E

Yeah, don't see it on the US store....

Corholio

Thumper was officially announced in the Japanese Direct, after it was shown on the release posters a few weeks ago.

Great news is that it will be released in May, in Japan at least. By May there will be a really good selection of games available, much more diverse than the Wii U in the same length of time.

That's so strange. I was sure I read about it on the Switch yesterday in a few places. It seems it was all a mad fevered dream. Sorry everyone.
