I'm really interested but I think I'll have to pass on this... For now. I could change my mind depending on reviews and impressions.

Super excited for this. Have been wanting something for that Armored Core itch. Though I am a little sad that it seems there's only bi-pedal mechs playable. Will probably use my last voucher for this, though I'm not sure how much I'll play at launch due to Gears 5 + Borderlands 3.
yeah I'm a veteran of the AC series. I wouldn't mind more of that if there is a nice variety of guns and mechs with good performance
Oh really? Well that's good to hear, seems like there are a lot of cosmetic options to pick from though which is very cool
Critic and user reviews. I'm not going to preorder games blindly anymore.
I am buying this and Astral Chain right away. Have to support these exclusives, not to mention they look fantastic.
When was the last time Nintendo published some sort of mecha combat game in the West? Custom Robo, maybe?
Looks like this will definitely scratch the itch that previous Armored Core and Gundam Breaker games (not that dreadul last one, though) have always managed to. I've always appreciated Shōji Kawamori's designs, and I also enjoy the action-RPG mechanic of being able to pick up gear/loot drops during battle.
Like some others, I didn't get to play the original demo, as I didn't own a Switch back then. Hope an updated one is released before or around launch; it'd be great to see how this handles and how the pacing feels compared to titles from the other mecha series above.

This looks amazing. But this really needs a second demo to show what's changed.
I've been super into this since the reveal trailer, and my excitement for the game has only increased from the reveal to the demo to now -- I've been asking for a new Armored Core for years, and to have Nintendo essentially publishing one with a super stylish art direction is beyond my expectations. I do wish it had been saved for a quieter month (really, any month that't not September 2019 on Switch), but I hope I'll be through Astral Chain quick enough to buy this on day one, because this is one of those cases where I'd like to express my support.
Speaking of expressing support, the preview reception of the game is a bit of a downer. The demo seems to have been a catch-22; the developers released what was openly regarded as an early vertical slice of the game for the express purpose of requesting feedback, and are now kind of haunted by the fact that the demo wasn't perfect, despite the fact that they've addressed an impressive amount of the user feedback. It doesn't make a good case for developers asking for feedback in the future.

I believe a second demo would take too much from the time needed to properly optimize and clear the project to be realistic at this point. They're probably crunching to release this next month.
So I get to use Trans-am and After-image in this game? Day one lol.
This and freaking Astral Chain. It's all I really need, very soon. I will take a break from playing the 3 or 4 other games I'm currently playing. Full Focus on both of them japanese lovely babys, until I'm absolutely done with them. It will be damn good time for genre fans :)
I see, although releasing one after the game is out could probably help the game.

So, a preview embargo for footage seemingly lifted off and there's some gameplay of handheld mode here for those interested:
Nintendaan ain't too fond of it, but...
Story badly told? Like MonHun of Old in terms of structure? Doesn't explain well? Controlling Mech cool?
Still sounds neat.

Yeah he seems to have liked a lot the gameplay and missions but that the narrative/characters are bland. Which surprisingly indeed sounds like old Monster Hunter complaints.
The screen seems very busy with overlays...but I imagine players who invest the time to master the gameplay will be able to pull off some amazing maneuvers.
