Nintendo Switch eShop Thread

Noticed that the psychedelic rhythem-action game, THUMPER, is on the coming soon section of the eShop. Very pleased this one is making it to the Switch. It looks like a terrific game with the sort of pick-up, put down, actually maybe i won't ever put it down I'll just keep playing it,-ness that I feel really benefits from being on a portable system.

Chatting to someone about this on twitter the other day. I remember being intrigued by Thumper elsewhere, very keen to play it on Switch.

I still always think of this guy, though:



Fun fact: I very nearly just posted this with the image URL from my previous post, in another thread. Very different image.

Thumper was great when I played it in VR but never played not in VR.

Joe Skrebels, formerly of ONM and CVG, bloody loves it. So I'm willing to give it a glance.

Aye, I watched the trailer on the eShop for Thumper and my main take-away from watching it was that it was very busy to say the least! I think it might see a look in from me, still.

Shantae: Half-Genie Hero is up for download on the eShop tomorrow. Did anybody back it on Kickstarter, or ever get round to buying it for PS4, Wii U, or whatever? Most importantly, would anybody recommend it?

Big Shantae fan over here, bought and beat Half Genie Hero a few months back on Wii U. Fun game, looks great and has lovely music... but it's a bit slight at the moment? The extra Kickstarty content should make it feel a more fulfilling game. If it helps... I'm pretty sure I'll be getting the Switch version.

Oceanhorn is out on the 22nd, that is a great Zelda-like and should well worth the price. I may even double dip as I reviewed it for free on PS4.

Can't remember where all the Jackbox Party Pack talk was but played it for the first time on my own Switch the other day and it's just as good as last time, TV Murder Party might be my new favourite game on it too, the announcer is genuinely funny unlike the others too.

Ooh, what's that one like?

Loads of footage for upcoming strategy game Wargroove.

Looks like Advance Wars mixed with fantasy - one of my most anticipated eShop titles.

Wargroove is definitely on my radar.

Aye, still up for getting that game too.

I hope we get a nice Nindies showcase during the spotlight or during treehouse.

Well up for that, mas. A nice little sizzle reel with some mad experimental stuff on it, alongside a few 2D platformers (bet y'all didn't know I liked them, eh? ) and maybe an RPG or two. And some puzzlers! Give me all the games!

This. Although I'm guessing I'd like a big game or two more than Zero. Scully's certainly excited about something...

Nintendo are pretty good actually for putting indie games in their main sizzle reel, pride and place with other third party titles. There are a couple coming I know I'm interested in, and I'd be up for a few surprises as well.

I'm thinking Rocket League could be a big indie to appear.

I'd love for RL to show up, not sure how they'll do it without analogue triggers though.

No idea, mate

Another 2D fighter coming to Switch, I do like the art-style and no word on Arc System games yet that this might be a close to them

Some Cave story characters in a fighting game? Interesting.....of course Nicalis won't release it over here for like another 5 years.

Best place for them.

Speaking of Nicalis...

I'm up for a bit of Ittle Dew 2 - the first game was a lovely little thing that I played and beat on the old Wii U. I believe there's a bit more to the sequel, which is very welcome indeed.

I was right and you just remind me elsewhere that the game is coming to Switch.

Double Post as



is coming to Switch in 2018. The game is a bit of a indie darling with Dave Fennoy, Melissa Hutchison, Dan Ryckert, Jim Sterling, Erin Yvette and Xavier Woods (Austin Creed) along with a bunch more doing voice work.
