I need some help y'all. There's this Switch beat em up with anime girls but I can't remember the name. I think it was a port of a ps4 game. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

I've been anxiously anticipating more info on RCG and boy are they delivering. It looks fantastic, I'm so happy.
I am not who you asked, but I own and have played all 3.
1 is a good game
2 is a great game
3 is a really great game

All 3 are very mechanically similar but the big catch there is the dev has added SO MUCH MORE between 1 to 2 and then 2 to 3.

What I'm saying is that if you play any of them and like/live it you should like the others. I'd say each game I have liked progressively more. Hope this helps.
This does help a lot, thank you! I had heard similar things before but I wanted more opinions on these. I did grab 2 a couple months back on sale for Vita but haven't put time in it yet. I should give it a go soon... I adore this kind of games so I hope I like the formula this time.

Sounds like you will be hopelessly addicted lol! I highly recommend you play 3 at some point then and feel free to skip 1 :)

Maybe Phantom Breaker: Battle Grounds Overdrive? It was originally on XBLA and later Vita, but it did get an eventual PS4, and later Switch, version.

just buy $15 dollars from amzon.com and create a US account, really no reason to stop you at all

Yeah, I personally prefer the "creating different accounts for each region" to switching regions and wiping out your wallet.

I did it because I needed a copy of Splatoon 2 for each of the main regions (NA, EU, JP). You just pick a different account when you open up the eShop.

It sucks that this is even a thing for games such as Lucah, but at least the options are there without jumping through too many hoops like the 3DS

Did anybody get Treasure Stack??

I saw it's on sale, and I remember it maybe having performance issues at launch. Any updates there, or people willing to praise the game?

I'm a sucker for tetris-likes and this one looked neat.

I know I'm super late on this, but Slay the Spire is fantastic! Similar to Into the Breach, I find the game succeeds at nearly everything it tries to do.

First Mighty Switch Force! Collection is confirmed for this month, then we get news that Studio Trigger is providing the opening cutscene for Shantae 5, and now River City Girls is announced and it looks predictably awesome.

WayForward on a roll lately!

Between Slay the Spire and SteamWorld Quest what are people's preference. They look similar enough that they would scratch the same itch.

They are not similar at all actually. They are very different games with very different goals. As for quality, ive made it clear many times that I thought Quest was a huge disapointment, but im sure Weiss will let you know its amazing any second now so take it for what it is, an opinion.

As purely a card game tho, I dont think many people argue which one is better tho, as Slay the Spire is pretty much one of the, if not the best card game around meant to be replayed infinitely. Steamworld Quest is, much like the other Steamworld games, something youll play, finish and move on.

Yeah, I'm actually pretty impressed. I've been super down on WayForward lately, but they seem to be turning things around.

Speaking of WF, they need to find a way to bring Double Dragon Neon to Switch. It's an amazing game. It was also made by some Shovel Knight devs before they left and formed Yacht Club Games.

Super niche, but Football Manager 2019 Touch is on sale, down from $39.99 to a way more tantalizing $13.59 in NA.

Probably going to nab it, haven't played FM in about 5 years. Like that it basically strips all the fluff.

How come? All they've done over the past few years were some Shantae ports, Mummy Demastered, co-development on Bloodstained, and some other smaller stuff.

...Unless I sense another unenthused Half-Genie Hero customer. lol

Any reviews for Blazing Chrome yet? Looks good but I want to hear impressions on the gameplay, difficulty and pacing.

Buy Steamworld Quest.
Lol. Well, I will say I'm not too big on roguelikes, but every now and then I can get in to rogue-lites (Dead Cells, Rogue Legacy, etc). Depends on how the progression is handled.

progression is good, you unlock characters (aka decks) and cards for said decks. Also there is a 4th character/deck coming as DLC for free.

Oh shit, a demo for Ape Out? Glad that more people will be able to try it out, one of my favorites this year.

I'm also curious. If I'm only getting one and it's for single player, should it be 2 or 3?
Can't vouch for quality of the ports since I haven't played them on Switch, but 2 is the best of the three in terms of quality and quantity of single player by far. 1 has a great recreation of Konoha as a hub world and covers the first series from the chuunin exams to the fight at the valley, it's very similar to UN3 on PS2. Now 3 is... Weird. It feels like a lesser 2 in many ways and makes up a lot of stuff because the anime hadn't covered that much story after Pain, which is where 2 ends.

Finished Fairune 2 and that package (Fairune Collection) continues to be worth every cent.

1upsuper Were you a fan of the other two Siralim games? I'm very curious about them but tried 1 and it kinda failed to grab me. I've still been considering buying 2 if it's an improvement like I've read it is as I adore monster catching RPGs.

Speaking of which, I might play DQ Monsters soon, haha.
Sorry for the late reply, but someone else already gave you the answer I would have more or less given. I'm pretty sure you or someone else asked me about Siralim a long time ago. It boggles my mind that you like monster catching RPGs and are currently wearing Loto's headband but have yet to play the pinnacle of the genre, Dragon Quest Monsters 1 and 2. Siralim is for people who are hungry for more DQM. Dragon Quest Monsters 1 and 2 are more or less my favorite video games of all time. It's a three way tie between them and La-Mulana.
Roguelikes are for dorks.

Buy Steamworld Quest.
Yeah, who'd want random elements in their card games.

Slay the Spire is amazing if you like good games and/or the draft format in trading card games.

Haha, I've only been a DQ fan for a couple of years so I'm still catching up with the games and trying to play them in order. I'm currently playing VI for the first time so going for Monsters next should be appropriate. That's some high praise tho; now I'm excited.
