I hope a sale like that doesn't happen in the US this week... I've already got Tangledeep, Dragon: Marked for Death, and Wargroove... I can't handle anymore.
http://retronauts.com/article/946/t...-flip-grip-friendly-vertical-games-for-switchThis!!! I've only just got my grip and haven't even tried it yet, can't wait.
Is there a list anywhere of essential games for the flip grip?
Way, way off the mark, lol.Well, time to check some videos on Rain World...
...
I'm getting some Oddworld vibes from this, am I too off the mark? It also reminds me a bit of Knytt Underground, which I played on the Wii U and liked, but thought was a bit bare-bones.
Joy Mashers, they are from Brazil.That's the one!! Looks amazing!
Who ate those guys lol? Are they well known?

From Nintendo's SiteDamn, I was ready to jump on Tangledeep even though I've already got Dragon: Marked for Death and Wargroove to play. Looks like it's yet another game with a "Switch tax" attached to it for no apparent reason. I guess I'll wait for a sale instead.
NINTENDO SWITCH EXCLUSIVE CONTENT
Encounter and capture strange new creatures throughout the dungeon, such as the spiky Hardshell Snapper and frosty Polarattler!
Explore a new area at the start of your adventure, Riverstone Waterway, with its unique biome and challenges!
Redesigned controls and interface specifically for Switch Joy-Cons and Pro Controller!
From Nintendo's Site
Is that worth $5 to you? I don't know, but it looks like they put in an effort to port it to Switch and add some things. To me, even though not interested too much in the game, that seems fair. I mean a whole new area/biome with challenges seems worth it.
I need this sale in NAA bunch of NIS games are on sale on the EU shop as well - (SNK Heroine, Disgaea 5, Disgea 1Remake, YS 8, Fallen Legion etc)
Thanks for pointing this out. I didn't scroll down enough to see this on the eShop page. I haven't played the game, so I don't know how significant a new starting area and some new enemies will be, but it's nice to see that some extra effort went into the Switch version. I don't know if that justifies a 33% price increase over the Steam version but it's worth considering. If the port runs well and doesn't have any significant technical problems then I may still pick it up at full price.From Nintendo's Site
Is that worth $5 to you? I don't know, but it looks like they put in an effort to port it to Switch and add some things. To me, even though not interested too much in the game, that seems fair. I mean a whole new area/biome with challenges seems worth it.
The developer MegaCrit has said that a release date will be announced next month. I'm looking forward to it as well.
April is going to be a good month! Darksiders comes out April 2nd and FF12 at the end of the month!
Picked up 'Halcyon 6', 'Downwell', 'Planetarian' and 'Gabbuchi'.
It really just screams out for a demo with one character from each so that people would be less put off. I guess they got really worried putting out a $30 game, and may have screwed the pooch in the process.So I've just seen this review for Dragon Marked for Death:
https://www.gamespace.com/reviews/switch-reviews/dragon-marked-for-death/
"Something of note as well is how the game's purchase works. Inti Creates wanted to try to have a low barrier of entry for the game, which lead to creating two separate releases, Frontline Fighters and Advanced Attackers. Each version retails for $15 in the US eShop at release, coming with two of the game's four characters. Frontline Fighters comes with the Empress and the Warrior, while Advanced Attackers comes with the Shinobi and the Witch. However, the games are the same regardless of the characters. This means you will get gear drops for classes you can't play, as well as be locked out of paths in levels that require a specific character. None of this prevents you from completing the game or playing online, however, but it can be disheartening to pick up loot only to find out you can't use it at all."
That really sucks, puts me off wanting to get both versions now. I was going to get Advanced and maybe get standard later if I really liked the game.

Then again, if you are loving the game, and get loot for the other characters you may just buy it to use that loot? I dunno. I mean it isn't game breaking or prevent you from playing it with people who own the other version etc. It isn't ideal but I give them a good mark for trying something different, even if it doesn't work out.
I don't really see this as an issue. Each character has their own traversal abilities. It makes it more interesting when each character can get to specific areas using their unique abilities. If you can't do ANYTHING with the loot from other characters, it might be annoying. Like selling it to buy gear for your character or something. But I guess this kind of design doesn't really bother me. If I do decide I want to try a new character, I'll have gear for them. If not, I'll still be getting gear for my character. If it were designed the opposite way, I'm sure some people would complain that they aren't getting any gear for the other character in the pack they bought.So I've just seen this review for Dragon Marked for Death:

Thank you for your post Wargroove looks right up my alley!
Yeah, I don't see a problem with the loot mechanic (unless there's some kind of inventory limit). Just means you shouldn't have to grind as much when you start off with the other characters.
Just noticed that Fate/Extella Link on the Japanese eShop includes support for Japanese, English, Korean and Chinese.

Thanks for pointing this out. I didn't scroll down enough to see this on the eShop page. I haven't played the game, so I don't know how significant a new starting area and some new enemies will be, but it's nice to see that some extra effort went into the Switch version. I don't know if that justifies a 33% price increase over the Steam version but it's worth considering. If the port runs well and doesn't have any significant technical problems then I may still pick it up at full price.
