Same as you mate. But all that crap seems to be "deliberate", so that ok you know.
Yeah, I mean those aren't the companies that I'd worry about but they're the ones that pop into mind. There's subs to some language learning aids, etc. But I wonder now if they could just use the cc and other things be done from a US PP account. Hmm...
My 10 most played games:
1. Xenoblade Chronicles 2
2. Shining Resonance Refrain
3. Zaccaria Pinball
4. Valkyria Chronicles
5. Nintendo Entertainment System - Nintendo Switch Online
6. Final Fantasy IX
7. Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle
8. Pinball FX3
9. Hollow Knight
10. Battle Chef Brigade
I'm surprised that the top games are long RPGs. I have little free time to play, but I love RPGs, so I go through them veeeery slooowly... it took me months, but I actually beat Xenoblade 2, Shining Resonance and Valkyria Chronicles.

I noticed this too. Was excited to see my lineup, but it was all shuffled up with a bunch of puzzle games that I've never played.
since you don't log into an account until you boot a game, how else would the playtime calculation work. :)
You can't go wrong with XII or IX, but which one you want depends on the type of the game you want to play. They're pretty different.
X should be last priority out of those three.
All of them are good, but as you say, IX and XII are the best choices (IMO).
XII is a serious and somber game with a fairly political story that places a big focus on world-building. Its voice acting is stellar, so if that's something that attracts you, it's hard to beat.
IX has no voice acting, but it's eminently charming — the quintessential Final Fantasy experience. Where XII focuses more on the world, IX focuses intently on the party and their various thematic struggles, the most keen of which might be coming to terms with mortality. It has a real storybook feel.
Both games use ATB, but IX's is traditional, whereas XII was an experimental evolution, combining player input with player-made AI gambits (think Dragon Age: Origins, a game inspired by XII).
I cant buy a game without owning a switch? Would like to buy zelda and wait for the switch pro. :(
It's a combination of the two. As the game goes on, you unlock more and more gambit slots and behaviors, allowing you to more fully set-up AI tactics. You'll almost always have reason to take manual control, though, as things happen that the AI can't (yet) account for.
That said, gambits are entirely optional, and the extent you use them is up to you. Like I said in the other post, the gameplay is comparable to Dragon Age: Origins, if you've played it.
Top 3 is not surprising in the least (Octopath 80+ hours, Breath of The Wild ~200 and Xenoblade 2 250+) but I was surprised to see Hollow Knight so high but then I quickly remembered I put like 40 hours into that game. And that's without seeing anything from its expansions.
you cannot.
just buy it on the next sale. by the time that supposed switch plus will be out, there'll be another zelda sale... you've waited over two years. just have some patience.
1. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
2. Xenoblade Chronicles 2 + Torna The Golden Country (I bought Torna physical, so it shows up as a separate game)
3. Super Smash Bros. Brawl
4. Pokemon: Let's Go Pikachu
5. Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle
6. Golf Story
7. Mario Kart 8
8. NBA 2k18
9. Splatoon 2
10. Fortnite
Seeing Hollow Knight in a lot of people's lists (including my own). That is one beefy game, regardless of indie status. I've never touched the expansions either. Got to say the difficulty turns me off somewhat; it was enough to get the "bad ending" for me, still a superb game. The sequel will be long awaited by me.

Also I'm not surprised with Fortnite. It's the only game that I can play with my friends (they have ps4s)
Edit: Oh yeah almost forgot. Thanks to the person(s) who answered my question about FEW. A shame.

Can we get back on track, this thread is about April's offerings, not our most played Switch games.
1. Splatoon 2
2. Octopath Traveler
3. Smash
4. Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu
5. Hollow Knight
6. Golf Story
7. Sonic Mania
8. Super Dragon Ball Heroes: World Mission
9. Battle Chef Brigade
10. Tangledeep
Not the most exciting list as a lot of my favorite Switch games are kinda short, but yeah. I didn't like Let's Go much and it's missing Xenoblade 2, which I spent 70+ hours on but have since deleted.
For context, I've played 17:25 hours of Tangledeep and "95 or more" of Splatoon 2.
Hollow Knight /is/ the GOAT tho.

I really wish the eshop had a count down timer for preloads. I hate the fact that I have Cuphead and Katana Zero preloaded and don't have the slightest clue when they will be live. Yeah I know it's most likely they will unlock at 12pm est on Thrusday, but we have some games unlocking at midnight and such. Just really bugs me.
Adding the ability to sort by time and user could help.
A bit like the sort options work on the eshop where you can combine/filter.
Oh yeah. Didn't expect for this game to be so cool. I think i played already some 10h in 2 days since i started the game. xD
Wish it was easier to see exact playtimes of games, but Zelda is 125+ hours, XB2 120+ hours, Octopath 75 hours, WoFF 74 hours. Been playing Tangledeep awhile, at 45+ hours.
1. Smash - no surprise there. It was my most anticipated Switch game for so long and it coming out around the Holidays made sure I had plenty of time to binge.
2. Fortnite - I didn't realize how hard I went in this when it first came to Switch. When it launched, I enjoyed the beginner player pool and learned how to play entirely on Switch and, while I still jump in from time to time, cross progress has encouraged me to play mostly on PS4 now.
3. Zelda - one of the goats. Switch launch + dlc stuff got it the spot. Feeling the itch to go back recently, so I might end up putting even more time in.
4. Splatoon 2 - I wish I still played this! My friends all dropped off and it was hard for me to get back in after being away for a bit. But, honestly, the biggest thing holding me back are the long load times, particularly that conversation with the hosts when you enter. It's just a bummer. Looks like a lot of cool content has been added that might entice me into giving it another shot.
5. Arms - this game is so underrated it hurts. I swear most people want fighting games with similar systems to what they know than something new and creative. The depth was there, but since it's different than most games before it, the depth was hard to identify and most games look the same to people watching. Still love it though and it's still fun with friends. Really hoping this gets a sequel someday.
6. Diablo 3 - "Perfect for Switch." Much more convenient to play solo than on consoles and an unimpared experience with friends online. I love this game and it's got me pumped for Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3.
7. Pokemon Let's Go Eevee - the definitive gen 1 game for me. It might be hard for me to go back to wild Pokemon in the tall grass, but the added depth of Sword and Shield will probably make it pretty high on this list in the future.
8. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe - played a ton when it first came out and it'll probably never leave my system. Always good to play with friends on a TV or handheld.
9. Enter the Gungeon - I will have a successful run one day. I will god dammit.
10. Mario Odyssey - not as high as the other games in the list, but the quality here is so high. This is a game I could see myself going back to one day. It's been long enough I could probably just play it again.
This was fun! Makes me feel like I gotta put more time into Monster Hunter!
Xposting because the WOLFENSTEIN 2 SWITCH |OT| is deader than Death.
Got this with the latest 30%off sale on the eShop.
Is there a way to fucking stop the camera from moving itself (feels a bit like autocentering at times) when motion aiming is on? This is making me despise the controls ffs, I hate autocentering cameras in games. Can't seem to fix this even turning off aim assist

Not sure if I understand what you mean because as far as I remember, the ONLY way to control the camera was through either the right stick or the motions aiming, I don't think it had any auto-centering camera. I did play and beat it on launch so I might have forgotten or it received an update.
Its super janky, this is hardly new actually. Sekiro is by far the most polished From Software game. If you can look past the jankines it will eventually click, so please insist.
I went back to DS yesterday after hiting a brick wall in Sekiro and it was rough. After a while I got used though.
60 Fps really make a difference.
I have not played Dragon Age Origins but that sounds interesting, thank you!
Sure, let's play. As this is the eShop thread, I'm going to limit my list to digital exclusives (not counting speciality limited editions), simply because the results are so much more illuminating:
1. Stardew Valley
2. Wargroove
3. Baba Is You
4. Hollow Knight
5. Into the Breach
6. Shovel Knight
7. 7 Billion Humans
8. Celeste
9. Thimbleweed Park
10. The Flame in the Flood
Stardew and Shovel Knight are double-dips, and Stardew has a commanding lead, more than doubling the playtime of the next contender. Everything else falls roughly into the 20-to-40-hour range. Also, it's rather fitting to see 7 Billion Humans come in at #7. In my overall unfiltered top 10, only the top 3 here are represented (Stardew at #6, Wargroove at #8, Baba Is You at #9). I expected Baba Is You to be way up there, and it's still ascending as I'm not quite at 100%, but I was surprised to see Wargroove finish so high.
I can't echo this enough. In terms of online multiplayer, Arms is my most-played fighting game of all time—it isn't even close—and it wasn't really until SSBU came out that I stopped finding the time to dip back into Arms for every Party Crash event. SSBU has outstripped it in total, but nearly all of my time with it has been in single-player and I've hardly bothered with the online mode at all.

More Japanese companies are joining to the indie fever. I hope we get more Japanese indies of this.

I like this idea, it is kind of illuminating, especially to compare.
My overall list:
1) The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
2) The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
3) Splatoon 2
4) Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
5) Fortnite
6) Warframe
7) Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana
8) Rocket League
9) Stardew Valley
10) The Binding of Isaac Afterbirth+
In terms of eShop/digital exclusives (I'm also going to exclude free-to-play/games-as-service stuff, as that's kind of a mushy area), it's:
1) Stardew Valley
2) The Binding of Isaac Afterbirth+
3) Lumines Remastered
4) Hollow Knight
5) SEGA Ages: Phantasy Star
6) Thumper
7) Earth Wars
8) Yodanji
9) Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice
10) Celeste
God dang I love that list. I love the eShop.
Watching the GB quick look it all seemed to flow/work well and was very interesting to watch. A demo would be better but overall I was impressed with the quality of the game
Skipped so many posts with lists in. All that list rubbish should be a separate thread, I agree with the poster above.
Anyway, My Time At Portia seems nice for the first 30 mins or so. Some framerate hitches in handheld, there's times where it freezes for a second or two while it loads a menu, but it's not too bad and I think the good will far outweigh the negatives.
