Anyone getting Skies of Fury tomorrow? I'm quite tempted to be honest.

I'm the same. Said I wouldn't have one on Switch and it's starting to build already.

Playing Zelda at the minute but have Bayonetta 1 & 2, Steamworld Dig, Stardew Valley, Oxenfree and Golf Story to go.

I also see Shovel Knight Treasure Trove is down to €20

Right, I got the original SK on Wii u and steam. I could never understand all the iterations. What dlc do I need to get to complete the game? Spectre?

I've no clue. Never played it but tempted because of all the positive reviews here about it.

There's three expansions within the Treasure Trove - Spectre Knight, Plague Knight, and the upcoming King Knight one. The size of each one is roughly the same size as the main game. Some of the levels repeat, but the way each of the knights play is completely different so traversing the levels, even repeated ones, is completely different.

Is it worth the €20?

Definitely. It can be frustrating at the start but once you get the hang of it, it's great fun. They're not long games, but there's some difficult rooms with extras etc, so there's a good bit of replayability.

Surprise! Football Manager out today for Nintendo Switch

Edit: O.K. The site has had some sort of mini brain fart.

Edit no.2: It's €30, the Switch tax strikes again.

Edit no.3: It's actually worse, it's in fact €35.

Edit no.4: Different sites are quoting different prices.

Jotun: Valhalla Edition heading to Switch

Bought this on Wii U during a sale at Christmas I think it was, paid just a few Euro. Haven't got around to playing it but reviews were very good.

CiDeRmAn · 13-04-2018 3:23pm

I rather play Shaq-Fu on the Megadrive than play a football manager game!

€30.78 on South African eshop

I like a bit of football management, but the modern games are just too in depth for me. I'll stick with with the original on zx81 or Spectrum. There can't have been many/any football management on Nintendo before was there?

Championship Manager 96 or Premier Manager 98, that's where the real meat was.

These games have gotten far too in-depth for me as well. My limit was the little arrows in CM96 that encouraged your players to wander in that direction occasionally.

I'm reading now that it's €35/£30 on numerous sites. Apparently this isn't the full fat version that's on Steam. I think it's the smartphone version that's been tinkered with and added the 3D Match engine. They call it "streamlined". "Football Manager Touch 2018 on Nintendo Switch is the most immersive football simulation ever created for Nintendo players." That reminds me a bit of EA and how they talked about FIFA 18 on Switch.

Championship manager 01/02 is free to download with fan made updates and mods to change the year etc.

theres actually 3 versions of FM

the full game on steam is 55 euro. the touch version on steam is 30. football manager mobile is 10 euro on andriod.

the touch version has the same size database with a few of the full version features stripped out. some small things like dealing with a player mood, dealing with the press. touch is basically for people with touch screen laptop\tablets.

the mobile version has a hugely reduced database of players and a lot of features missing from even the touch version

I'm going to pick up Football Manager on payday. Last one I had was on iPad and I really enjoyed it.

Football Manager is the tablet version, not the mobile version. It includes the 3D match engine from the main series, first time it's been on consoles.

TrustedApple · 13-04-2018 5:49pm

Football manager I think might be buying tonight as not saying no to the touch one when I am going to work ha ha.

Pro Evo gave me an average leaving cert.

So is the Switch version of FM more 'basic' than the full version? That is a positive for me.

It's a bit more basic, but there's still a lot of depth to the Touch versions. It does cut out some stuff like overly in depth press conferences which are fine once or twice, but get very very tedious after a while.
