I completely stopped finishing games on my switch after I got into Stardew Valley... Again. Man, this is such a massive time sinking game. I had clocked 68 hours before coming back... After 2 weeks I now have 115 hours and I'm not planning to stop any time soon. I'm rocking both a solo farm (11 hours) and a co-op with my GF (37 hours).

Nintendo eShop - April 2019 | Our Wallets Are Ended

I'm wondering the same myself. I like the concept but I wonder if the gameplay holds up? It would be great to hear from anyone who'd played it :)

A bit late, but Wandersong is absolutely brilliant! A real gem.
The writing and characters are wonderful - funny, clever, emotionally rich. It's a really compelling story. The gameplay is simple but very satisfying.
I'm playing it with my 8 year old daughter and she hasn't been so captivated by a game in a long time. But I would feel the same if I was playing alone.
Anyone who liked Night in the Woods would love this.
Also, the story has some echoes of Celeste.
Highly recommended!

There's a demo if you want to try it out.
was actually looking for opinions on this so glad you said that

Yes, 135. It's already my console with the greatest number of games after 2 years. Only I have more games on PC.

Good to know I am not alone : D. My wish list has about 100 games on it as well, I try to only buy games when they are on sale now.
Trying to decide what to play next now, currently looking at Furi in my backlog.

I set myself a standard of (unless I truly, truly dislike the game) 5 hours of gameplay. If I've put in 5 hours, then I've given the game my due diligence and I feel free to move on without guilt.
I've put in 25... I like the game okay, it's just tough to complete!
Replace "Stardew Valley" with "Fortnite" and you're me. I really feel like I should dig into all the new games that have come out, but I'm worried I'll just play for a few hours and then get pulled away again. But replacing one addiction with another doesn't seem like a smart idea...
There are some Switch additions to the game FYI, like co-op.
It does look good, but it also looks like something that might irritate me.
bit of a surprise given Square-Enix tends to build off the previous port
Got me Dark Souls, finally will be able to play this game in a good way because I hated playing it on PC, the controls felt terrible.
Also got South Park TFBH , really liked the stick of truth so I hope this one will be similar.
Really sucks that Nintendo decided to have the second Tetris championship precisely this week (or this month for that matter) when there are so many releases and good sales. You crazy, Nintendo!

I absolutely agree. Wandersong was a fantastic experience!
The OT has a lot of user impressions of the game. There's a patch that has been submitted that'll fix some issues.
If you mean the load times and FPS issues, those issues were addressed in a patch in November 2017.
I really want to get Hellblade to support more titles like this coming to the Switch, but I already bought it day one on PS4 and I also own it on XB1 (via Gamepass), so I hope my Switch bros and sis' can pick up my slack and make sure this game does well.
It's an amazing experience incase anyone is interested.

I appreciate this, yeah outside of the Megadrive collection, which I have on Steam, I have all those others!
I love srpgs, and I was hoping the Mercenariea games would be worth the time since I kind of have everything but these :-D

How can you guys sleep at night with such huge backlogs? ^_^
Just kidding. Buying games is fun and it feels good to have a nice collection, even when you can't play them. However, money is tight for me, so I only buy games I'm ready to play right now.
What I do is, I assemble a collection with games for a variety of situations which I call "slots". This is my current line-up:
- 1 long game (to play very slowly for months to come): World of Final Fantasy, next will probably be Dragon's Dogma
- 2-3 brainless action games (to play when I'm stressed and want some quick fun): Capcom Beat 'em up Collection, Shantae Half-Genie Hero
- 1 "thinking" action game (when wife/child are asleep and I want to play all night long): Hollow Knight
- 1 shoot 'em up (when I want an exciting 15 minute game): Dragon's Blaze
- 1 adventure game (when I want something nice and quiet): Goethia
Now I need a loot game, seriously considering Diablo 3 (and it's on sale right now).
Yesterday I considered buying Syberia (it's on sale). Well, it's an adventure game. I already own Goethia and I love it, it's very good. The only reason I haven't beaten it yet is the lack of time. So, why the hell should I buy Syberia? It makes no sense, I won't play it until I beat Goethia.
I want to play Guacamelee 2, but why should I get it if I'm in love with Hollow Knight and can't find the time to beat it?
So, in order to buy new games, I have to beat (or quit) the one I already have for that specific slot. Might seem a bit weird, but it's been working really well for me.

That's what I do but with genres, I like to have one of each possible genre always available. But I break my own rule with sales, if it's a sale above 50% them I'll probably get it unless it's a game that I see getting constant sales, then I'll wait until I can really play it. Problem with this is that in the end I am building up a huge backlog anyway because there are good sales at a faster rate than I can finish games but I can't help myself :/
Well I grabbed it and am currently on a trip from Morven to Toowoomba in Queensland, Australia so 4-5 hours drive each way haha. I'll post up some impressions when I get a bit into the game but my tastes seemed in line with its description
And it's half off right now for 7.50$... and darn it now I need to talk myself out of it
I was browsing the eShop and noticed Cel Damage was on there
I loved that game as a kid, so I instantly bought it, but it's kinda weird. You need a user account for every player, which is just wacky. The way damage is done also seems changed, weapons seem significantly weaker than they used to be.
Is there a way to enter cheats on the Switch? Because every person needs an account to play, there's no name entry system, and no name entry system means there's no way to enter cheat codes.

If you want any opinions on any shmups you're interested in, feel free to ask me or the shmups community thread here. I buy pretty much every shmup that comes to the Switch and I have the essentials on Steam.
Gotcha, thanks. Hopefully we'll see it back again soon then.
Just finished my review for a game called Aggelos launching in a few weeks. It's that wonder boy looking game on the eShop coming soon section.
What I can easily say here is that if you liked MB, you do not want to miss out on this game. It's equally as good, and while it's a lot shorter than MB (6 hours for 100%) every moment of the adventure was super fun and the pacing is pretty good save for some difficulty spikes near the end. For $15 it's practically a steal and easily my favorite game of the month unless the Konami Collection blows me away (Which it probably will)

Hell is Other Demons looks interesting. Though, as far as April 18th releases go, there's basically no way I'm not getting Katana Zero. I've wanted that game since it was unveiled back in 2015.
Dammit!!
Here was I thinking I wasn't getting much this April and so far I've bought:
Donkey Kong 3
Dark Souls Remastered (eShop sale)
Nintendo Labo full VR Kit (physical)
with Cuphead & Katana Zero pre-purchased from after the Nindies Direct last month.

It's an excellent shmup and you summarized it perfectly. I won't ever grow tired of recommending this to both newbies and veterans of the genre. Honestly, one of my favorite shooters ever!
Picked up Hellblade and am loving the hell out of it! It looks awesome on Switch, but now I'm considering double dipping on PC, too. I'm totally glad I picked it up on Switch though, as I think my oldest daughter will really enjoy it with the headphones on. It's a VERY effective game. Holy crap, it's got like all the crap I love in it.
With Mortal Kombat coming out so soon, I also sprang for a 400Gb SD card. Currently, I've got a 128 and it hasn't been an issue but I had to delete a bunch of crap this morning to install Hellblade. I figure with the likelihood that a deluxe model of the Switch will be coming out I may as well go ahead and get more storage.

Don't forget guys, Tertris 99 Grand Prix 2, is on this weekend.
I've started archiving a few games that I've completed or don't see myself playing anytime soon. I even archived Hollow Knight but I've completed that.
My worst game is Final Fantasy XV Pocket Edition. I bought that on launch thinking I'd play it when there wasn't much else. I never even started it and I've already archived it.

Regarding Cook, Serve, Delicious! 2!!
Glad to read the positive impressions here, I played the first one on PC and really liked it. Surely gonna grab the new one on Switch. However, the Euro price being higher than the Dollar price is off-putting, probably gonna wait for a sale considering this and the backlog.
chubigans could you kindly elaborate on what happened with the prices there?

Oh my sweet summer child, you clearly never played any Xbox 360 game locally. What an absolute nightmare. That user pop in never went away.

Caladrius Blaze coming to Switch, asian-english physical sku as well.
Play-Asia jumped the gun and now has deleted the listing and blog post but you can still find the link and the text blurb when googling it.

Also the '90s style fps PRODEUS's Kickstarter campaign is now giving Switch codes with every PC code, Early Access this year and full release next year.
Looks awesome and Dragonfly, one of the best DOOM maps designers around, is now part of the development team.

Yeah it's the worst thing on my system. I hope they update it like alot of other devs did. It's clearly just a desktop icon from the PC version.
No way the Xbox and PS4 versions look like that.
that's how you get me from "will check it out once it's done" to "might as well get in on the ground floor"
The icon on PS4 is close to what is used for the boxart.
