Nintendo eShop - April 2019 | Our Wallets Are Ended

Nice!
Also, looks like D3 is releasing a demo for that weird Yokai-Rockband-Otome? After the hot mess that was the Kitty Love translation, that's a good move to convince people that not all of their games are complete gibberish (hopefully?).
Doom is -50%. I checked it on eshop.
Edit: well you can also just click the link and see.

A question: do you get Pretzels to work reliably? For me, the Classic or German choice is randomly preset and whatever choice I make doesn't make any difference.
Hmmm I am worried about that exploding in account sharing =/
Yes, but even considering that most games are still cheaper than anywhere else
Couch co-op is fantastic. My wife has a non-NSO profile on my Switch, so I'm pretty sure you need one so your character can be saved but we play all the time and there has never been any issues.
Yes! Finally! Reigns: Game of Thrones! I've been waiting for it and with my gold coins it even was free!
Grabbed Cook, Serve Delicious 2 yesterday and Bot Vice today. Having loads of fun with both but Bot Vice gets the award as I've already played CSD2 on pc.
Having said that, I much prefer the controls on the Switch version

that's not what a hot take is :) (hot takes are eye-catching reactionary opinions on a [mostly current] thing that is usually not very well thought through)
It was based on the HLTB average given for "main story" ...what should have made the poster suspicious though is that the "main story plus extras" listing below is at 12-14h so clearly the 3.5h is not "how long the game is."
How the heck did I miss that this got a Switch port? I've been meaning to get it on Steam for ages. Definitely getting this today.That 'Baba Is You' is 3 hours long is the most ridiculous hot take that I have read in Era in the entire 2019.
Back to the topic of games that we have actually played, the Switch port of 'Gigantic Army' is legit.
And the best game inspired in 'Cybernator' ever made.
It's basically 'Contra: Hard Corps', but with fucking gigantic mechs.
And I'm using the comparison with 'Contra: Hard Corps' because the game is a bloody orgy of gigantic mid bosses, with the same sense of epicness of Konami's magnum opus.
It's like playing an episode of a space opera, making you feel immersed in a intergalactic scale war, while you see in the horizon other mechs destroying dreadnoughts. They have really nailed the setting of the game.
One of the most gorgeous 2D showcases seen this generation. And running at 60 FPS, it doesn't matter the size or number of sprites and explosions
One of my greatest surprises of this 2019.
And my favorite Astro Port game so far.
I couldn't believe it when I saw that was on the upcoming games list. Great game and I love the idea of text-based games on Switch.
So, quick question.
I recently got Fire Emblem Warriors for switch and I was wondering about the coop. Like, can I play coop online? Or maybe with a friend, each with our own Switches and each with 1 copy of the game? Because I tried to search info about it, but I only found posts about people playing on the same Switch.

It took me a while to figure out that several of the dishes you make at the prep stations (top of the screen) randomly select what kind you need to make at that time. For instance if you go to make a pretzel it will select Classic or German and display it and you HAVE to make that one or it can't be served. Do it again and it might select the other type of pretzel...or it could be the same one as before. Make a pie and it might pick a pumpkin pie one time, apple pie next and mincemeat pie after...or two key lime pies back-to-back. Once you know to only make the type they display on screen for you you're golden. I was confused especially about the pies since I thought I had to make pies that looked like the image shown on the side.
I am fairly certain that both FE & Hyrule Warriors don't have online co-op, it's couch only on the same system.
I really need a gameplay break video of how it works because I'm intrigued but it seems so much complicated.
See this video of the PC version starting at the 1:15 mark: https://youtu.be/XXv__SQGucU . He selects a prep station at the top and chooses to make a pie and it randomly selects a Cranberry Pie and shows the ingredients. If he didn't make a Cranberry Pie exactly as shown it would not be servable to anyone and would have to be thrown out and a new pie made. Then he selects the other prep station, chooses to make a pie and it randomly selects a Pecan Pie which he then has to make or it will have to be thrown out. Hope that helps!
Thank you, that made a lot of sense! So the prep stations basically worked the opposite way than I thought they would. Much simpler than I thought.
So... This game isn't like Overcooked right? I watched the trailer and didn't understand the concept really. But it's co op and fun though?
They are decent, but there are better SRPG offerings on Switch.
I was waiting for passive fist to get a Switch version and it somehow got announced and released without me noticing.
I've done 100 plus levels and looked up only 2 partial solutions and it's taken me 35 hours so far. Easily 50 hours of gameplay in it if you don't cheat.
I thought this month was going to be a light one compared to last month but the amount of games I've bought in the last couple days is obscene. I don't even want to talk about it.
Anyone pick up Slime Tactics? Really curious about this one given that Ambition was a good game.

It's on the Xbox, PS4, Switch and PC. In fact, it came out on PC well before it came out on the Switch.

I bought Cook Serve Delicious 2. I played solo for about an hour and a half today. My impressions are that it's challenging but fun.
Reread their post. The person they responded to was asking for games that were Switch exclusive, and they said Hollow Knight is great if you can ignore that requirement.
Bought friends of ringo ishikawa and just don't get this at all. Have absolutely no clue what to do and the game isn't telling me anything.
What the heck, where's Terra Force? I was scrolling through my wishlist and I see it's gone. I know this happens sometimes but at least with the Psikyo games I could kinda imagine some rating issues leading to their temporary removal but what could have happened with Terra Force?
More third-person adventure with psychological fear than combat, I think. Like a Nordic Silent Hill.
Any shmuppers/run 'n' gunners own an arcade stick for the Switch? Any suggestions for which one is most worth the investment?
If you already own a decent stick for another system, have you looked into just getting an adapter?
I actually don't have one. I'm thinking of either
1) investing in an Xbox One and using BC to my advantage for lots of shmups
or
2) taking that money and pouring it into a bunch of Switch and Steam games and getting a decent stick
Hard to decide whether the stick is worth it, though. Seems like there is a lot of debate about which controls are best for solid play on PC and ideally I'd invest in something I could use for my computer and my Switch.
I have a ton of shmups on my Switch wish list but haven't pulled the plug as I haven't found an ideal way to play them on the system. I'm wondering if there's an outside the box solution where a Bluetooth stick can be used with the switch using the 8bitdo adapter.
Outside of that, did the GameCube have any decent sticks? Because there's a GameCube controller adapter for the system
I can recommend the Mayflash Magic-NS adapter, which plugs into the USB slot of the Switch dock. I've used it with my Hori RAP4K stick (this stick was made for PS4 and PC compatibility) to play on Switch a few times without issues. I'm a pretty hardcore shmup fan but to be honest, I mostly just play with my Pro controller's shitty d-pad. It's far, far from ideal but I just don't play my Switch docked very much so I don't often get to use my arcade stick. I should probably get the Hori d-pad joycon but I mostly play in tabletop mode and that joycon can't be used wirelessly.
ThankDougie, personally, I would go with option number 2 since Steam and the Switch together have a boatload of great shmups. I'm personally not a Cave fan so there aren't that many shmups that were only ported to XBOX that I would want aside from Radiant Silvergun, Raiden Fighters Aces, and a couple others. Obviously this will depend on your personal taste.

I haven't played it myself, but from what I've heard, you should go into it less as a rhythm game & more of a "freestyle drumming game", as it tries to encourage you to make your own beats to the music. I haven't really heard anything bad, especially if you know what it is you're getting into, but at the same time, the best I've heard is that "it's alright, but really needed more music"
This Nintendo World Report review goes into more detail.
Heads up: there's a demo on the JPN eShop
(a bunch of games have JPN exclusive demos, like Crypt of the Necrodancer)
regarding Gal Metal: I guess the physical edition already has the 10 dollar DLC so this is only a little less than buying physical. Also Best Buy has this (physical) for 14.99 but it's basically unavailable.
Guess I'll download the demo since I already have a JPN account.

Honestly I own all consoles, I'm hardcore (lol) STGs fan and I consider the Switch as the de facto Shmup console this gen, with PS4 having M2's Shot Triggers juicy exclusives. The vast majority of Xbox 360 godlike shmup library isn't BC so an Xbox One won't do you any good (Raiden Fighters Aces, ALL of Cave's games bar Guwange, XII Stag/Delta Zeal...), you're much better of with an actual J-360 if you want to go down the rabbit hole, otherwise between Switch and Steam you're pretty much fully covered.
As far as arcade sticks, I just use the Magic NS adapter which lets you use basically ANY controller (Xbox360/Xbone/PS3/PS4/PC/WiiU) on Switch with zero perceived latency; I usually hook it up to an HORI RAP4 Kai (PS4/PC) and with a USB female to USB C male cable you can also use it in tabletop mode (love placing the Switch on the Hori stand while in portrait/TATE orientation and hooking up my arcade sticks).
Btw,
here you can find a FULL LIST OF EVERY SHMUP/Run 'n Gun available on Switch, its cost, if it has a retail release, etc...

I bought the collection and was pretty disappointed. It's a ton of content, but it was so mediocre that i got to a point where I was like, "Eh, my time is worth more than this."
Echoing the sentiment that there are a lot of better SRPGs on Switch, especially in the time since that collection came out. Wargroove, Into the Breach, and even the two Shining Force games in the Sega Genesis collection have more interesting gameplay to offer than Mercenaries IMO. Valkyria Chronicles 4 is a bit of a different thing but has a free demo that you could also check out.
I recently reviewed the trilogy and honestly found it to be kinda bad. It's very clunky, slow-paced and the backgrounds/spritework is generic. Something's not right if I'm having more fun with the first NES Fire Emblem due to how it feels MUCH smoother (even for being dated) compared to this game. If these games played at 4X the speed and had a bit more polish it could have been great.
It has both similarities and differences to Overcooked/Overcooked 2:
* In Overcooked, the obstacles mainly occur through the environment (since you move around). In CSD2, the obstacles is to handle the incoming task list as fast/efficient as possible. Rush hours are the "mini boss battles" with a day.
* In terms of co-op, it has 2-player only. No versus modes.
* A solid 1-player mode (while Overcooked is basically a multiplayer game)
* More focus on planning, resource management and design, while Overcooked is focused on movement.
* The game has muuuuuch more content in terms of food to prepare.
* It's a game that can be customized into what you want to do, while Overcooked is a game with designed levels.
Even though I have only played it 1-player yet (I've only booted up 2-player to see how it worked), the game would make perfect sense to play 2-player co-op. For example: One player handles the orders, while the other players prepares the food in advance and do the chores.
