No release date yet, still just "February", same with Puyo Puyo. I wonder if SEGA will launch them simultaneously like they did with Sonic and Thunder Force IV...
Re: Snake Pass
If you think you might enjoy Snake Pass, I want to give it a hearty recommendation. It's one of my favorite games of recent years. Here's my LTTP I wrote about it, some mild spoilers. In a nutshell I loved the game and once you get comfortable with the controls it is an incredibly engaging and cleverly designed game. A lot of the fun is in obtaining the tricky collectibles.

I will check this thanks :) I LOVED Rayman Origins/Legends so this piqued my interest.
Anyone played Legrand Legacy on Switch? Wondering if it's smooth performance. I want the game as long as it's not a frame dropping screen tearing long load time stuttering mess lol.
Also buying Tangledeep, Outrun, and Wargroove tonight. Think I am nearing 200 games WTF is going ok with the Switch lol. Still shocked that Ninty went from no 3rd party support in the past, to a weekly avalanche deluge of games and now devs actively targeting games to release on Switch and selling most on Switch wow. I absolutely love it and apparently have a problem as I cannot stop buying games!

The Switch version does have some problems compared to the PC version. It's generally very snappy, except for battle load times, which are slightly too long in general, but can get up to ~10 seconds. I'm not particularly FPS sensitive, but it's mostly smooth to my eye with rare stuttering, except one late game area which is spiky.
It's a decent game overall, and ambitious for an indie. If you're craving a PS2-era turn-based JRPG, this will give you that exact fix — the good, the bad, and the unrefined. The script is quite stilted, and not totally proofread, but still manages to be engaging and endearing.
Are you playing it off the internal memory or a SD card? It shouldn't be a difference, but I have definitely noticed some games on the internal memory are load faster which is all the more infuriating they cheaped out so much there.
Playing off mSD card, not internal storage. Unfortunately I'm also in bad internet land, so I can't redownload it to test.
Ok thanks for the quick response -I own on PC but always looking for comfy couch options lol. I'll stick with the PC version If battle loads are that long
I bought the way remastered yesterday for 0.99€ (lol)
It seems Nice so far, I like the soundtrack.
83% discount is Wtf.

After a brave fight against the urge to buy Ittle Dew 2+, I caved and bought it at the final day of sale. Price was good, but I'm short on cash... well, I loved the first game, so I think I won't regret this.
Would be great to read impressions if you have the time to post them. I've been close to getting it so many times now.
I just need to give a heads up to everyone that Iron Fisticle Crypticle is coming out on Feb 13.
4 player couch co-op, top down arcade action.
It's an upgraded version of Iron Fisticle which was released on Steam a few years back.

I bought it last year with the same big discount and I really liked it.
Just be careful because my save got corrupted due to a bug 2 hours into the game. I thought it was fixed but apparently it wasnt.
You can check it out here how to prevent it.

Yes! It really is a beautiful, extremely well-made game. So glad to see people getting into it.
Sure!
This >observer_ video released a few days ago got me interested in the game:
Very intriguing. I'll wait for a sale, but I'm eager to hear what my fellow ERA friends think of the game.
How's Bad North now in terms of performance? I'm not sure if it has the lastest 1.07 on consoles yet.
Oh man I didn't realize Etrian Odyssey was this week and I'm both incredibly hyped and worried it will take me even longer to get through KH3 now.
If I remember correctly, there's actually a relation between those two games, I just don't remember what it is. I think some of the developers are there same, maybe? I do remember pre-release promotion of the original WiiWare release bringing up Zombie BBQ a lot.
That's surprising looks like the lead programmer worked on both.
Still, a shame the trailer wasn't what I was expecting.
Reviews of Reverie Sweet As Edition are popping up, here's a couple of fairly glowing ones:

'New Star Manager' is one of the most entertaining experiences that I have had with a soccer game.
It's basically an accesible and less overwhelming version of 'Football Manager', but it does a lot of creative things, having its own flavor and personality.
The main difference respect to 'Football Manager' is that while the match is playing, you will be able to control the decisive goal opportunities.
And these action sections feel very close to 'Valkyria Chronicles'. they are in real time, but every time that a player receives the ball, the time will freeze.
While the action is paused, you have an option to play like a traditional turn based game, by selecting to what player you want to pass the ball, and even selecting the trajectory of this player by drawing a line with a stick.
But you can also decide to take control of player in real time, like in an arcade soccer game.
This mix of a turn based strategy game with the players serving as "living units" like in 'Valkyria Chronicles' works surprisingly well.
And it creates an addictive loop between the matches.
Also, the management of the most important sections is inspired in a card RPG, in which you need to build and manage your own deck.
And these cards will affect your players in the match.
So you need to create a strategy to obtain new cards, but you also need to carefully manage these cards into each match.
At the same time, the game is much less complex than 'Football Manager'.
Instead of creating the most realistic management soccer, they have tried to create the MOST FUN management soccer game.
It's incredibly easy to pick, it has great tutorials, the UI is brilliantly designed and it works in a great way, it doesn't matter if you try to play this with a touch interface or with a controller.
The production values are much better than in 'Football Manager'. Instead of feeling like you are reading a spreadsheet, it feels like a video game.
It even has a small city builder section in the vein of 'Sim City' in which you need to upgrade your stadium and its facilities.
I recommend this game to anyone interested in a more accesible and less time consuming version of 'Football Manager'.
But even if you like 'Football Manager', I think that 'New Star Manager' does the things in such a different way, that it's a perfect complement to the other game.
Highly recommended, and one of my personal favorites of January.

Jesus, what's going on with Odallus? Looks like it's going to force on you a really wonky-looking crt filter, with an heavy cromatic aberration effect and super-wacky uneven scanlines.
What the hell? Like, i love old tv shaders, but this is so ugly that I don't even get it.

New Star Manager is solid. I didn't realize it was a thing - and I couldn't pass up spending $0 on it to play on my iPhone.
I'd be more than down to support the dev...but I'm waiting for a price drop.
The iOS version has in app purchases and it's designed as a pay 2 win title.
I prefer to pay 20 dollars for a game only to have the ads and de microtransactions removed, and a traditional balance in which you can win only by relying in your skills.
The game is superb, and I think that deserves the price tag in Switch, same as in its Steam version.
FYI there's at least 100 hours of game in Disgaea 5. You can beat the "main campaign" in around 35 if you know what you're doing and utilize the cheat shop the way it was meant to be utilized. The main campaign, however, is more of a tutorial than anything else. The post-game in Disgaea 5 is Binding of Isaac levels of ridiculous.
Wait till you play it, I posted in another thread but the controls suck. A jump, Y attack and you can't switch.
The Vita version was really charming and enjoyable. Also one of the few games both developed and set in New Zealand.Reviews of Reverie Sweet As Edition are popping up, here's a couple of fairly glowing ones:

Are the arcade modes on those NeoGeo fighting games substantial enough that I'll have fun by myself, or are they better for multiplayer? Thinking about getting Last Blade II or Garou.
Thanks for the reply, LoA! I'll be eager to check it out, then!
I thought I'd ask here, did they fix the menu button mapping and audio issues on Dark Souls Remastered for Switch?
Yeah that's weird...
I'm curious about the quality of the port. Have we seen any switch gameplay yet ?
That's because you have the docked version and the undocked version in the sam...
... Ok, I'll stop this bad joke right here.
