Agreed. The level of challenge is pitched just right for me, it's tough but doesn't feel undoable and the checkpoints are mostly sensibly placed. Didn't know they had a follow-up game, I'll check it out!

I've bought 122 digital Switch games (not including freebies) since November's Cyber Deals sale started, and there are still more that I'm tempted to buy.
I need a therapist.
Wow! Well, those games are pretty cheap, so it's not as shocking as it first seemed.
Man, you got Crypt of the Serpent King ? It looks so bad that I think of buying it every time it goes on sale. I think I'll buy it and wait until I have a friend around so we can laugh at it ^_^ Big fan of dungeon crawlers here, so there's also a bit of "this looks like a DC made by a single guy with poor programming skills so that's kind of awesome even if the game sucks".
This list of mistakes reminded me that I forgot to buy Way of the Passive Fist last time it was on sale.
That sounds super fun..and now I have one more game added to my eternal backlog. Thanks for sharing your impressions!
No problem. As long as there are niche arcade sports games being released on the Switch, I'll be there to buy them blindly and then post thoughts about them here.
I just noticed the Crash Team Racing video I posted yesterday was set to private. I know you're all dying to watch it and could barely sleep last night, so here it comes again :P
Slain is awesome, I played it on Xbox One back in the day and really enjoyed it.
So much so that I got it again on Switch physically just to have a copy on my shelf! <3
Seemed like the Switch one at the time didn't run as smoothly but I'm sure it's still a great game (didn't spend much time on that one).
Happy to discover the other week the 'follow up' Valfaris existed, excited to play it one day.

Seems like I'll be able to make this a backlog month since both games on my wishlist release in the end of January. These year-end sales killed me.
Finally managed to complete a run with the Defect in Slay the Spire. The headless knight in the City is the hardest challenge in the run as it can deal 51 damage in one attack. Nearly killed me but managed to beat it with only 5 HP left. Very satisfying.
Now, after completing a run for both the Silent and the Defect. It is time to return to the Ironclad. IMO, this character is way too straight forward to use, which may make them the hardest character to master. Anyway, very exciting to keep playing tomorrow.

Is there any word about a first party sale for NA? Why is NoA so awful at communicating these things?
First one was only released as Death Mark, but Aksys Games created the Spirit Hunter series for the second game (most likely because NG was just a taaad too short for a game title), and retroactively made Death Mark part of it.

Lots of crap in there. You actually might need that therapist.
I almost wish I hadn't played Hyrule Warriors for 300 hours on the Wii U, because I would love to see the extra stuff in the Switch version.
...
Scratch that, I might buy the Switch version anyway. HW is one of my favorite games ever.
Also, lots of great memories from the OT. Every couple of pages, someone would come up asking some info about DLC that was included in the OT and it was driving TheMoon crazy ^_^
Try asking him if you can change your avatar's look in Xenoblade Chronicles X after creating it ;D
I think Yoshi's Island is pretty great. I also really enjoyed Woolly World on Wii U.
I hated Crafted World and dropped it after a few hours. When people call Nintendo "kiddie", I cringe, but Crafted World, even more so than other Yoshi games, is genuinely aimed at young children.
And the music is nightmare-fuel.
It does seem to be an extraordinary collection, having it digitally so I could just dip in and out was my ultimate aim as it seems perfect for exactly that.
I just don't even look at sales until I'm actually looking to buy a new game. Having bought so many games, if the problem is you can't pass up a deal, just have to tell yourself that whatever you save from the discounts, you've spent many times over on games you'll not ever find time to play.
As usual. It never is. Fuck.
Despite being on sale in Japan constantly via Tecmo Koei. I don't get while this one in particular Nintendo never puts on sale in EU/NA.
I don't want to get the cart because it seems perfect as a digital game, and I'm not paying full price this late into the game. Also I'm a bit weary of its performance in portable mode, wish they had patched a perf mode in since the game renders at 1080p even in handheld mode.
Nothing for me right now, but the Direct could change everything with a couple surprise releases
Yeah, the undocked performance doesn't seem great judging by the Digital Foundry video I've just watched, but it being cheap and digital would've made it acceptable for me to just dig into on my Switch Lite. C'mon Nintendo, a cheeky wee sale for this, go on!
lmao C'mon, guys. Those are over-exaggerations. Like maybe no more than five of those games are questionable purchases. ;)
I'd love if you could go down the list and highlight what I shouldn't have bought because most of those are quality games with good reviews, except this one, lol:
Yup, exactly this. A dollar for this is worth it for the laughs. It looks terrible. lol
The few critic reviews say it sucks but there were some positive player reviews on Steam so who knows? Maybe I'll be surprised. :P
This is sound advice! 👍
*returns to eShop to grab some more last-minute deals*
I just bought/refunded Scarlet Grace on Steam. Seems like a good game, but the presentation of the battle is just off-putting for me. I really don't like it when games don't even bother to try to teach you the game. I'm okay with learning complicated systems and all, but yeah, maybe I just wasn't ready for all that this morning.
This is why Slay the Spire is still my #1 go to Turn Based game since it was released 12 months ago. It's easy to pick up, learn, and hasn't gotten old to me yet.

Thanks as always for your hard work tolkir, Lite_Agent and DKoops!
Thanks for the info - what kinda punny jokes are we talking?
it's as dumb as double dipping games on switch you havent even played (and own) on other systems. We all have our things :p
Guys do we know if
Samurai Showdown/Spirits is going to be the same sku in NA/EU than it is in Japan currently? I'm really itching for the game it seems just perfect for my tastes, and I'd gladly grab it on JPN eShop if the release is going to be the same worldwide. I think Deep Silver is the publisher for the western version.
I'd love to hear some good guesswork about it.
Both the Asian and JPN versions offer English support btw, which -especially the latter- usually points to a WW sku.
Thanks!
I mean a good 30% of my Switch library is made of double dips on games I own already elsewhere but I haven't even played :P
but it's all good, they're games I'mo va interested in but will only be able to play thanks to Switch's hybrid nature. Having a huge Switch backlog is bad, double dipping it's not (necessarily
