Japan will be getting Dragon Quest Builders 2. No idea if this will come West, if I was to guess I'd say probably not. Though who knows as it doesn't look Japanese voice or text heavy.

Dragon Quest Builders 2 - Streamed Gameplay

At Dragon Quest Summer Festival 2017 also announced for release in Japan by Square Enix are the first 3 DQ games.

My son has had a ball with the first one, might be worth importing for me, if it's not making the journey to the west.

Mr E

Next batch of ACA Neo Geo titles coming to switch are Magician Lord, Puzzled, Zed Blade, Raguy / Blue's Journey, Spinmaster, and Art of Fighting.

I love Blues Journey (I still have one of the high scores on the MAME Action Replay page), so I'll be getting that for sure.

My Switch has pretty much been resigned to gather dust. Between all the ports and the indie games, which might last 5 hours but charge €20(!), it feels like there just isn't anything of interest for me until October, which is when the new Mario is released. Feels like I'm still waiting for that game which'll make the Switch worth it.

The game was so poorly received I've little passion for it anymore.
Heck, I've Rare Replay there on the XB1 with the two Banjo games on it, I probably already own much of what Yooka Laylee has to offer already.

I think by the time you get Yooka Laylee on the switch, or by the time I can afford a switch, a good chunk of the irritants will have been patched, as us poor suckers playing it on Xbox have play tested it for you.

That's a shame. It's the complete opposite for me, I've been neglecting my PC and that hasn't happened in years. There's at least a couple of big releases a month as well as smaller titles that have caught my interest.

Overcooked being the latest one, I bought it to play with my girlfriend and son and it's the most fun I've had from a local co-op game in a long time. Complete chaos at times

Hopefully the game releases pick up over the coming months and you get more enjoyment out of it.

€20 for a 5 hour well designed indie game is ok to me though. Plenty of AAA games don't offer much more than that.

Can I ask you, how hard is Overcooked to get to grips with? I'm toying with the idea of "emigrating to south africa" for 2 minutes to pick it up for €16, mainly to play with my kids at the weekend. Could you enjoy it if you, say, struggled to beat the Snipperclips Demo due to an inability to stop drive-by-snipping eachother to pieces and then punching eachother in the thigh repeatedly?

How does overcooked play as a single player experience?

It's one of my favourite multiplayer games for years. It's possible to play single player, pressing X to change characters but it's a boring and easy experience. The challenge is in delegating and juggling tasks and communicating through frantic shouting with others.

Very easy to get to grips with I thought and my young lad is 10 and had no trouble.

But when the orders are stacking up, lettuce and tomatoes haven't been chopped, dirty dishes are blocking the sink, half of the ovens are on fire all while your kitchen is breaking in half due to an earthquake with the fire extinguisher on the opposite side you might land yourself in some hot water by not choosing your words carefully!

So it's a pretty awful single player experience?

I'm scrolling through the games and nothing is jumping at me at all. Maybe I Am Setsuna, but I'm not massively into JRPGs

Soooo... what are you into? And while you're thinking about that, why not buy Arms and give it a bash?

From what I've heard it wouldn't be worth full retail value with what is currently available. €60 is just out of what I'd be willing to pay for something like that. I want a good single player experience. That offers more heft than 5 hours worth of gameplay, which, realistically rules out most of the independent games.

Banjo

Luke, uhm not troyin tue tyel yue huw tue leef yurr loife bot eef yurr weeleen tue taiyk uh breef treep tue soofafreekah uhm shoorr yuel loike thu proisez thurr mooch beeter.

By which I mean, Arms is "only" around €45 on the ZA eShop. I've been playing it pretty solidly for 2 weeks and enjoying it, although if you're any good at it you might not get the same joy out of the gradual iterative improvements you see in your own vs-CPU game, and without the incentive of Online, which is locked behind beating the CPU level 4 boss you might not be arsed at all... but then, Splat2n is aroudn the same price... And while you're there, you can spend the 15 euro you saved on the Irish price on Minecraft or Overcooked

Edit : I'm not going to keep spamming the thread, but re: below - yes it bloody is! I'm telling you, I'm having a blast playing Arms single player. It's miserable online, everyone kicks my arse, but between CPU3-5 I find I can have satisfying matches that make me feel like beeg strong man!

But not one of them are decent single player experiences.

When's re we getting that football game they did? Name escapes me but you could do super shots and it was done in a anime exaggerated style?

Mr E

No idea, sorry.

In other news, Axiom Verge for Switch is out on October 17th.

After fevered googling turn out it was Football Champ

They used to have it in the Bowling Alley in Stillorgan back in the day. A Switch release is probably unlikely.

Really fun game, played it on the Vita but I'm sure sure how it could be played in docked mode. The touch controls are intrinsic to it.

I guess it will be like VOEZ and be handheld only.

Brawlout - Hyper Light Drifter Reveal - Coming to Nintendo Switch

Hhmmm! It looks vaguely similar to another fighting game.

Mr E

Vaguely.

Clever though - if it's balanced, a good game, and it's online, it'll sell like hot cakes.

Mr E

This wasn't on my radar at all, but I see that Ironcast (out tomorrow on Switch) just got a 9/10 on Nintendo Life. I'm juggling about five match 3 games on my phone, so this is right up my alley. It came out last year on XONE and PS4 and it supposed to be hard as hell - it's a roguelike where RNG features heavily and bad luck can cost you a game no matter how skillful you are.

Cool !
I had been looking for a decent match 3 and had been playing Boost Beast (it's OK - not great but not terrible)

Super Meat Boy on the way. Old but a classic imo, although it kicked my arse for a long time too

Mutant Mudds Deluxe also confirmed for Switch by Atooi.

Liking this. I own both but both are a good fit for the console.
