    Potata: Fairy Flower - official Nintendo Switch gameplay trailer

    https://youtube.com/watch?v=mGtKfuQCmck
    OverGamez and Potata Company are pleased to reveal Potata: Fairy Flower for Nintendo Switch. In this adventure platform game, you will join the quest of Potata, an oddly-named young witch who travels deep into a magical forest in search of herself. Immerse yourself into a picture-perfect fantasy – solve numerous puzzles, search for treasure, fight enemies, and reveal all the secrets.

    The game releases on June 6 for $12 – and is already available for pre-purchase with a 25% discount.
    The magical world of Potata: Fairy Flower is inhabited by fantastic creatures, each with their own personality and story. Learn what secrets your village is hiding and make new friends — or maybe new enemies.

    Help Potata become the strongest witch in the village – and don’t forget to save the world, of course!

    Key features

    - A picturesque fairy tale. Immerse yourself in a world of fantasy adventures along with Potata, a novice witch-in-training.

    - Prepare for the quest. Potata: Fairy Flower offers more than 10 hours of the story campaign, where you’ll have to make decisions that affect the outcome of the game.

    - A branching patch. Moreover, each level has different side stories and puzzles that can help you avoid encounters with the most dangerous enemies.

    - Reveal Potata’s secrets! Solve puzzles and uncover hidden treasure.

    - Don’t forget to save the world! It is a quest to find yourself and to protect your home.

    Potata: Fairy Flower will be out on Nintendo Switch on June 6. Starting today, the game is available for pre-purchase with 25% off – for $9 or €8.99.

    I like the tune in the trailer.

    Infliction: Extended Cut - Coming to Nintendo Switch on July 2nd!

    https://youtube.com/watch?v=jUKrwrnVqC0
    Infliction: Extended Cut, the psychological horror game from developer Caustic Reality and publisher Blowfish Studios exploring the darkness haunting the remnants of a suburban family home, brings fear to Nintendo Switch™ on July 2, 2020. Digital pre-purchases are available on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch now.

    The “Extended Cut” builds upon Infliction’s acclaimed original PC release with bone-chilling new content and additional endings. Twisted souls keen on facing fresh fears can confront the New Game Plus mode, which includes a range of additional features such as remixed scares, new puzzles, increased difficulty, and other shocking surprises.

    Enter an interactive nightmare as a tormented father determined to piece together the mystery behind the tragedy that befell his young family. Investigate their haunted home while avoiding the evil spirits who have taken up residence within its walls.

    Uncover hidden paths, secrets, and clues throughout the house while avoiding supernatural pursuers. Duck for cover, crawling beneath beds or hiding in closets to evade the malevolent forces attempting to drag players to hell. Summon the courage to confront these entities, manipulating light sources like camera flashes to momentarily escape their grasp.

    Dive into an immersive horror experience blending supernatural dread with contemporary anxieties. Infliction’s terrifying story is grounded in relatable fears that strike close to home. Experience a haunting narrative while navigating dynamic environments and surviving blood-curdling events that will leave even seasoned horror veterans with lingering uneasiness.

    “Infliction began as a way to express my fears and anxieties,” said Clinton McCleary, founder of Caustic Reality and mission designer at Blowfish Studios. “I’m ecstatic horror fans can play Infliction at home or on the go when we summon the Nintendo Switch version on July 2.”

    Infliction: Extended Cut is now available for pre-purchase on the Nintendo eShop for $19.99 / €17.99 / £15.99 and will release on July 2. The game features support for English, French, German, Spanish, Russian, Japanese, and Simplified Chinese language options.

    Has anyone seen any gameplay of all the 2k games coming out next week? Very interested in borderlands but want to see how it runs first.

    Speaking of Paper Mario, I can't believe they've never re-released the Gamecube version Thousand Year Door, it was brilliant. It's 16 years old now, majority of switch owners won't have played it.

    Do Not Feed the Monkeys - Trailer [EN]

    https://youtube.com/watch?v=7spCYORYT4w

    This was supposed to release last November, instead it's coming out on the 1st June, there's a 20% discount if you pre-order, making it €10.40, as opposed to the usual €13.

    https://www.nintendo.co.uk/Games/Nintendo-Switch-download-software/Do-Not-Feed-the-Monkeys-1776716.html

    There's only a few scores on review Metacritic, it's 9/10 on Steam, but almost everything has an inflated score there.

    RETAILER WHO STATED METROID PRIME TRILOGY WAS COMING TO SWITCH BACK IN 2018 UPDATES THEIR LISTING, NOW CLAIMS JUNE 19TH RELEASE
    Second time's a charm?


    https://gonintendo.com/stories/361696-retailer-who-stated-metroid-prime-trilogy-was-coming-to-switch-ba

    I feel like Nintendo are going to announce some port to Switch next week, it may not be this, just yet. Pac-Man's 40th anniversary may have delayed it by a few days.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,911 ✭✭✭Grumpypants


    Me too, installed now, I just need to get some time to sit and play it.

    Played a nice but if Savage planet, it is great. Really fun, reminds of of starlink a bit in the way I'm amazed it fits and plays so well on the switch.

    https://gonintendo.com/stories/361708-borderlands-legendary-collection-physical-release-requires-a-dow

    SMH. They're not physical releases. That's nearly 100GB of a download between them. I know what I hope happens to them.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27,348 ✭✭✭✭super_furry


    I hope they at least let you download the games separately rather than forcing you to download everything together.

    SMH. They're not physical releases. That's nearly 100GB of a download between them. I know what I hope happens to them.

    At this point, 2K should be shipping those games with a memory card, considering that Switch could just about store XCOM without having that accessory.

    No reviews or anything for their performance, and they're out tomorrow, which is concerning.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 55,529 ✭✭✭✭Mr E


    I see the US pricing is up for Borderlands and Bioshock collections now. I assume it will be $ for €.

    Bioshock Collection (3 games) - $49.99
    Each individual game - $19.99

    Borderlands - No bundle for all 3 yet.
    Borderlands Game of the Year (just B1) - $29.99
    Handsome Collection (B2+PS) - $39.99

    Putting both on the wishlist for now. Hoping for a chunky discount in a Summer/Thanksgiving/Christmas sale.

    Bio Shock and Borderlands Legendary Collection are £35 from The Game Collection.

    They'll probably be a bit cheaper in a few weeks on Gamivo/CD Keys etc.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,324 ✭✭✭chrislad


    XCOM is the only one I have an interest in really, as I've played BL 1 and 2 to death already, and the Pre Sequel was ****e. Bioshock is excellent but again, I've played them a few times each, and it's just be speed running at this point.

    Excuse the ignorance but are either of those options offering physical?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 55,529 ✭✭✭✭Mr E


    Bug Fables: The Everlasting Sapling is getting brilliant reviews. It wasn't on my radar but it goes straight onto the wishlist now.

    It's basically Paper Mario with insects...
    (Or Paper Mario before debugging) :)



  • Closed Accounts Posts: 482 ✭✭nintendoo


    Arlo raving about it on YouTube. It'll be interesting to see how the new paper mario with a much bigger budget and twice the price stacks up.

    similar price on Amazon if anyone has prime. I'm not sure if the Game collection is posting to Ireland, I know some are not.
