    I love pixel art games but I always thought that game had a very ugly palette and that put me off from getting it.

    I have to say, there is an awful lot of Super Meatboy clones out there!

    Same for lots of genres tbh.

    Reminds me of Spectrum games. :)

    Wish they'd just hurry up and we can then post the news
    "Raiden, Raiden 2, Raiden Dx and Viper Phase multipack coming to the Switch next week!"


    I mean, it's not, but I wish it would!

    :pac:

    That Raiden Fighters Aces pack that was released on 360 would be excellent too!

    Kind of related - I was thinking of getting an arcade stick for the Switch and then remembered that Mayflash Magic-NS adapter thingie, so ordered that the other day from Amazon. Going to hook up my modded 360 SFIV stick (this one) and see how it goes. Should work better for platformers too (or most games that don't require twin sticks). The adapter is supposed to work pretty good, not just for arcade sticks either.

    I have the collection released for the Android platform, it includes the first game, the two Fighters games and Fighters Jet, so one would imagine it'd be an easy conversion to the Switch.

    Dead Cells coming out of Early access, and will be launching on August 7th on PC, PS4, Xbox One and... SWITCH!

    It's a fantastic rogue-like Metroidvania-esque game (only slightly). Have it on PC and loving it enough that I'm considering getting the Switch version too.

    Edit: Trailer...

    FYI for anyone interested, saw that it was 20% off for pre-order on the e-shop, so I've pre-ordered it on the Switch now too...

    A game so harmless I bet like the TV series if you lose the gym battle you still get the gym badge for beating up Team Rocket or something menial.

    Galak-Z Variant S is out on Switch now. Free with IAP. I've heard good things about this game, and comparisons with Space Miner on IOS (which is one of my favourite ever mobile games). It's basically asteroids with RPG mechanics and a story.

    I won't link to the clickbait nonsense, but one particular site was making a headline out of a stand-in release date for Dark Souls being 2030 on Amazon.
    I understand the content of the post is quite light hearted, but the lead in is pure click bait, seeking to attract the likes of myself, who has provided the revenue twice now by going there and I'm not doing it again!
    As great as it is to read news, this kind of reporting just makes me increasingly more likely to tell Google to ignore such sites.

    Yeah I saw that yesterday. It's just a placeholder date, but it's a stupid article. I expect better from Nintendo Life.

    Would much prefered if they had of just released the original Galak-Z itself, excellent game it is. I'm a bit sceptical of that mobile version.

    I have Galak-Z on the PS4, I seem to remember Johnny U raving about it on it's release.
    But I never got into it, the faux-anime style just bugged me, plus the PS library had too many games to choose from, it got lost!

    I wonder if it'll be free to those who purchased The Fractured But Whole like on the other platforms. I doubt it unfortunately!

    Is this any good or is it just another turn based game?

    Those two things are not mutually exclusive. :)

    It is both good and turn based.
