Darkest Dungeon (Row 1)
Bear in mind, the Darkest Dungeon icon will apparently be updated in the future according to their recent tweet...
I like to check my games regularly for updates. noticed today that:
The Next Penelope (1.0.1 -> 1.0.2)
Volgarr The Viking (1.36e -> 1.36f)
got updated very recently. not sure what was added/fixed, though.
I hadn't tried it before bow but Penelope might have gotten video recording with this update. Volgarr did not, I checked.

Anyone else looking forward to Yoku's Island Express? It's an open world pinball adventure game. Yeah, you read that correctly.
I really hope it turns out well, because the premise is extremely interesting and it's a gorgeous looking game. Supposed to launch sometime this year.

Hot damn! That looks beautiful and reminds me quite a bit of Ori and the Blind Forest. Not quite sure how I'd feel about the whole pinball mechanic, but it's definitely on my radar now! That and Celeste...
Nightmare Boy looks very interesting to me. I've looked it over a few times in the eshop. Had this launched anywhere else / has anyone here played it?
It's been on my radar for a while. It looks delightfully charming. I'm hoping that it plays as good as it looks.
From this Darkest Dungeon review:

For those here who have tried it, what do you think?

This looks charming as heck. Interested to hear how it plays.
I have played PC version a lot and changing from mouse to switch controls take some time. It's not as easy and fast as playing with a mouse but fortunately touch screen works quite well and it helps a lot.
going to pick up Zero Gunner II - that was a Dreamcast rarity I never snagged (think it was JP only)
Nintendolife and Nintendoworldreport did.

Controls seem okay so far. Text size is too small in both modes
Zero Gunner 2 is a really fun shmup (it auto scrolls but you can rotate your helicopter in 360 degrees which is a fun little twist) and at $7.99 is a bargain since the Dreamcast version is a minimum of about $150 and runs as high as $300 depending on condition. Strikers 1945 II is also a really solid sequel to the original with even better ship and power up variety, nowhere near as pricey but also a bargain at $7.99. I just hope ZeroDiv also plans on releasing Strikers 1999 as that one never got a home release.
What kind of issues are being reported?

Way back in 1998, I loved Team 17's Addiction Pinball, which included a Worms pinball table. These were conventional tables (not "open world") but they were cute as heck.

Update: this is a pretty lazy/bad port. - Enemy polygons don't animate correctly. Hell, the Energy icons don't even spawn on the enemies like the NAOMI/DC version does. - HP values for bosses are way off, even in Arcade Difficulty. Bosses die within 10 seconds w/ Apache.

Yikes, thanks for the heads up, will be skipping for sure unless it gets a serious update.
Darkest dungeon is amazing. Glad they have both buttons and tap controls in handheld. Holy crap its amazing.
I haven't played it on Switch yet, but on PC the mouse controls are way better than using a controller.
Damn!! That sucks.
Wow I never realised the Dreamcast copy was sold for so much. My copy alongside all my Dreamcast shooters are in crystal condition.
That sucks. But I'm sure they'll patch it so I'll buy it anyways.
Agreed, that would be awesome. Any chance when you played was the Wii pointer sensitivity too high no matter what you did? I have an Afterglow WiiMote but I just can't seem to get the settings fully right.
Space Dave! on January 25.
I really liked Woah Dave! and unfortunately, this game will not be on 3DS.

My initial impressions - the text is small but legible on the handheld, sharp and clear (as are the graphics, very crisp), but again, small. Not the end of the world for me, but it could be larger, sure. I'll be fine as it is though. On the monitor, at 720p, it looks fuzzier than I hoped. Handheld is definitely more enjoyable to play right now. They need to patch the docked gameplay to 1080p, or at least 900p, that will make it much better on larger screens.
Game feels and looks really responsive on the Switch, hopefully I don't have any crashes like mentioned earlier.
Nine Parchments has been updated: https://www.nintendo-insider.com/nine-parchments-update-version-1-0-1-introduces-multiple-saves/
If I can resume local wireless games this will go to back to the top of the heap for me.
It's a bummer. Someone just posted over at RGB that they even knew it might be screwed up... Zerodiv changed the name slightly so people could figure it out. Weird.

*sigh* I was looking forward to finally playing it and not having to spend $150 or more to do so. I need to check with a friend of mine if he still has his.
Another update on Zero Gunner 2, per the Tweet linked below, ZeroDiv's president stated on their company blog the game is not even a port of the game because they didn't have the original development assets and had to resort to making their own version of the game from scratch. I'm definitely not buying this and will just stick with the DC version.

This is pretty bad PR for Zero Div and although it's not the same situation this also makes me question about now how accurate their other Switch Psikyo releases like Strikers 1945 and Gunbird actually are.

It's been a while since I last played but I don't recall having problems with the sensitivity of the controls.
Took a bit to figure things out and get the hang of it, but that was on me.
It might indeed be the controller...
Damn.. i am sitting on a gold mine with my original copy :)
