Nintendo eShop - February 2020 | +100 titles every month
- Thread starter tolkir
- Start date
Wondering how the Etrian games (and persona Q) would work without the dual screens. I suppose they could make the map a selectable screen or something that you fill with the stick and buttons. Or potentially make those handheld only for touch screen mapping. I probably would like most of these as well, but not sure I need to be buying any more 50-100 hour RPGs on switch...

Wow they list all these games and still didn't include Trauma Center
Wowwwwwwwwwww
But sure bring everything else that isn't trauma center I guess I'll buy some of those
Yeah, I'm trying the same as I have some credit I'm trying really hard to to spend, lol.
I'm doing well. I've only bought KR0 and Steins; Gate My Darling's Embrace all year.
Wake up the PR / marketing guy inside you and convince yourself with the following:
"The whole experience starts from pushing the button and buying a game".
Done. You no longer feel guilty when buying games. It is part of the gaming experience and it feels good to own something that you may never use or play. It happens. It is the truth of living in the modern day world.

I just figured out that I've been going in the wrong direction in Ori after beating the Ginso Tree segment :(
At least I got a dash move that seems pretty useful, but it'll be a long-ish trek to the nearest fast-travel point

Was wondering why The Mystery of Wooley Mountain was a top seller (in fact THE top seller (?) last week) and downloaded the demo. It seems to be a fine, if generic, adventure game, and was a bit baffled.
Then I see oh, it's 90 percent off, guess that explains it, sort of.

Good review by Switchup here. I just bought it.
Btw, I'm interested in Coffee Talk and Valfaris, but they're not appearing for me on the eShop. I'm in Australia btw. Anyone else have this problem?
Playing it right now, really fun game! Honestly probably more puzzle game than card game. They really switch up the objectives for every battle though which is great because it keeps things from getting stale. Plus Meve is a really great character.
I hated it. This may be calibrated to receive good reviews, but the battles themselves are as tedious as it gets and rely more on die and retry than real strategy. If a pixel art strategy game is what you are looking for, I would recommend into the breach, which is possibly a masterpiece (it is for me).
I'm probably gonna be an outlier here, but I enjoyed Thronebreaker for a bit, but that was it. The card bits got frustrating a few hours out of the tutorial. The AI basically feels like it's in cheat mode half the time. It's somewhat similar to Gwent if all the cards were replaced with shittier ones.
Looks like Animal Crossing is up for pre-purchase on the NA eshop. Comes with a code for a 7-day trial of Nintendo Online.
Two N64 games that're kinda rare (like $35-50 each for just the chart. CIB, $100+ easily), mainly the 2nd, better game. They were basically racing games with a snowboarding theme & I remember renting the 2nd one as a kid and rather enjoyed it.
There was a weird reboot on the DS. It was fine from what I've heard.
I didn't ask what they are, I asked why they aren't included and why we haven't got a port yet because I played the first one and IT WAS DAMN AWESOME, better than Mario Kart 64.
My bad! I misread your post as "what" & not "where". But yeah, totally agree. It sucks that they've never been ported to other consoles. Gimme a double pack of 1 & 2. Put them on the N64 Online when that eventually happens. The developer is still around, so I guess there's just not enough of a demand.
As an adventure game lover It is not a bad game at all. It's not anything special but pretty good and with 90% off it is a steal if you like the genre.
Tell us more! It's on my list but the chara design is off putring :(
I wish that Atlus would remember that they made Snowboard Kids and re-release the N64 games. They don't even have to put any effort into re-making them. Just put them on Switch, please. :(
These games were my jam back in high school. Didn't realize how much I really needed to play these again until reading this thread. I miss when "extreme" sports games were a dime a dozen and a lot of them were actually good.
I had fun with it, i like the vibe and the music. It plays nice and has some unique ideas...just looks like shit
My obscure recommendation of the week:
The Mims: Beginning
This is for all intents and purposes a forgotten late 90s/early 2000s Bullfrog god sim/strategy game - it plays like a combination of Black and White and Startopia, complete with weird humor and oddball presentation. Other games of the time that come to mind are Shiny's Sacrifice and Giants: Citizen Kabuto. If you love and miss any of those you know what you have to do.
The visual style is like a Euro-janky version of Pikmin. It's certainly not without some minor bugs and blemishes but for $5 (regular price $8 if I recall) it's a must have for fans of the genre. Games of this type are far too rare today.
It runs well undocked, the story and world are unique and intriguing, controls aren't perfect - it's originally a pc game - but you get used to them. A lot of heart and soul was poured into this little gem.
Ignore the Steam reviews, either the Switch port has been rebalanced/fixed up, or they're just not representative of the experience playing on a portable device.
Played 4-5 missions today and intend to 100% the game. For a more detailed review this one is closest to how I feel: it's an oldschool design, warts and all, but better than the sum of its parts for me and for such a low price definitely worth it if you're intrigued.

Looked and played really well to me, too. I'm actually considering jumping back into P5 and finishing it so I can enjoy this game. P4G is one of my top 5 games of all time, but 15 hours into P5 I could not bring myself to keep going. It felt so sloggy and bogged down in comparison. Maybe I'll give it a shot, still...
finished Eqqo and I really enjoyed it. Took me around 3-4 hours not sure, around that. It's originally a iOS / Android game so you can play it all touch based (and you should since you are basically guiding a blind boy and have no direct control over him), really goes to show how far these phones have come because the game looks really good. Puzzles are decent / enjoyable, never too hard, it's quite lengthy for what it is (feels like the perfect length for the type of game), very reminiscent of Ico and games of it's ilk. At the current 3€ (if you own Koloro or other games) its a easy recomendation.
Must resist urge to buy...love Giants...but damn my backlog is haunting me.My obscure recommendation of the week:

Actually, I don't like Metroidvanias. I just like Hollow Knight and MonsterBoy; and Yoku, of course!
I'm trying hard to like Sundered, but like Momodora and other before, those games are just not for me.

I picked up Dark Crystal Tactics for a long plane ride yesterday. Honestly I'm digging it so far. You can feel the low budget all over the place, but the core seems solid.
Interesting job / race / combat system. Lots of opportunity for developing combos and synergies across character. A fair bit of mission objective variety so far. Overall nice aesthetic (if you dig Dark Crystal at least).
Game definitely cries out for polish (previewing enemy ranged attack threat ranges, bigger text on portable, maybe a top-down camera option) but I've been pleasantly surprised.

I consider Persona 5 to be a huge slog but I'm typically an outlier in this line of thought.
And honestly, if you're feeling the burn after "15 hours" (which is around the time I still consider that game to be great) then it's probably a lost cause...
