Nintendo Switch Game News and Releases.

Mr E · 21-08-2018 3:36pm

The Walking Dead Final Season is out now in the US, but Season 1-3 are also coming out this year.

Season 1 (+400 Days) is out next week - $24.99, so I assume €24.99.

So, am I to take it we're not getting The Walking Dead: Collection like other platforms and have to fork out for each entry?

Mr E · 21-08-2018 5:22pm

The individual seasons will come out first (like the did on other consoles), then I assume that the full collection will come out afterwards.

They'll want to maximise profit with a new audience, so you can't blame them.

It's not really the kind of game that people who've played it on other consoles will double dip on.

You literally followed this up with a Walking Dead price of 24.99 that came out in 2012!

That's a disgraceful price. They were giving away the whole Walking Dead collection on the PS4 if you pre ordered the latest season for 23 euro. Joke of a company, I would love to have the whole collection in one place, but not at these prices.

Chuffed with this!

Not so chuffed with SR3, would have preferred a Xeno blade chronicles x announcement.

I saw on Facebook that Diablo 3 doesn't require a download for cartridge version.

Possibly unpopular opinion here but I am so sick of “rogue like” games on the switch. Nearly every second game is a rogue like, I have absolutely zero interest in these games and it’s really making me think about selling mine. Don’t get me wrong, breath of the wild and Odyssey are some of my favourite games of the past few years but aside from that I’ve been really disappointed with the game selection. Apart from the odd indie game I haven’t bought or even been tempted to buy a full price game for the switch since I bought it with BoTW and SMO.

I'm not a fan of the rogue-like either but I've still amassed a ridiculous number of purchases on my Switch.
From puzzle games to platformers there is plenty to enjoy, at least for me.
And, as for physical releases, I've been collecting done good stuff there too.
That said, I do yearn for more on the scale of BotW and Mario Odyssey.

I’m in your corner here. I bought a Vita years ago expecting great AAA titles and it descended into JRPG hell (for me).

I recently sold the Vita and got a switch and I love it. But, I am afraid that once the initial rush of AAA titles runs out there will be no amazing games released.

I still have BotW, Mario Kart and Skyrim to play so it will be awhile before i am stuck for something to play.

Glad I’m not the only one. It’s a great console for those type of games, I’m currently playing night in the woods on my honeymoon by the pool and it’s great. But unfortunately for me most of my gaming is done in front of the tv so it’s rare I get the chance to benefit from its mobility.

I had already bought Skyrim enhanced for PS4 so not in any rush to go back there. Mario kart is great for having friends around but I don’t play it single player at all.

I spent half hour last night checking what games are coming out are looking good and everyone second one was an indie I already bought or played on PC, likes of firewatch, Kentucky route zero. Great games but nothing new to me anyway.

I've my X and PS4 hooked up to a 4K TV in the games room upstairs.

I've two docks for the Switch one in the sitting room and one in the bedroom.

Yet 90% of my gaming since Christmas has been done on the Switch in handheld mode.

Article also says that Octopath Traveller was the best selling game across all platforms. This doesn't include digital sales and I'd imagine it did well there too. Gta5 is still 2nd somehow. If the manage to get that onto the switch it'll be in the charts until the end of time.
