Nintendo Switch eShop Thread

Yeah, I was quite impressed by that Tangle Tower trailer so I'll be keeping an eye on it as well.

Said on the backlog thread and much like Balla saw that feature on NLife about Tangle Tower which I see is on AA that soon as that goes live on T, I'll certainly be giving ago.

Even though I've been looking at the range of games on AA, I've seen no one mention Tangle Tower though. I think everyone is just playing Oceanhorn 2.

I've nabbed Sayonara, Detention and Gato Roboto. I'm eyeing up Untitled Goose Game and Hotline Miami for when the backlog is a bit smaller.

I bought Goose game, Sayonara & Blasphemous yesterday. The first two are apparently quite short but that is absolutely perfect for me right now as I'm still playing Astral Chain as my main Switch game.

Yeah I'll be looking for a similar arrangement. Gonna fire up Astral as soon as I get out of the bath this evening.

I think that's a good way to do it. DQXI comes out next week, so I'm hoping to have a good few lighter games to play alongside it. It would also be nice to finish the odd game (e.g. UGG) before then... good job I've got a couple of multi-hour commutes to a conference this week!

I'm more excited about that than I should be TBH.

Both SWH and UGG can be finished in a afternoon and would be decent side games to a bigger one, which for me is Zelda till Dragon Quest.

As someone will see it here did anyone play Year Walk on Wii U?

Yep. Short creepy and pretty fun. What do you want to know about it?

You reckon it's worth a download and bringing the WiiU out for?

Depends where you've stashed the Wii U to be honest, and how difficult it is to get out. It was fun, but it wasn't super-exciting-fun-blow-my head-off. It was a cute little horror adventure thing with some nice ideas.

7/10 I'd say. Obviously look at other sources though.

It's on the side with the other consoles, I'd only need to plug in the cables and unplug the Wii or something.

In which case it might be worth a pickup.

If you're a fan of cheap games, there's a whole bunch of other games that might also be worth a pickup. Some forumites will be pleased that both Transistor and Bastion, at 80% off each, entered impulse buy territory for me. I also considered Wonder Boy and the Dragon's Trap, but it was only 25% off and was still around £26 and I'VE GOT TOO MUCH TO PLAY ALREADY

I had quick look but I've got all Ibbsters games, Astral Chain, Zelda and now Dragon Quest to play on Switch.

That it have to be cheap and real good, I can't see anything that I've not played or can elsewhere such as Transistor.

Untitled Goose Game it is then!

No need for Transistor or Bastion for me as they're both previous PS Plus games ready to go when I need them. I went and impulse bought Jotun in the sale as I had the right amount left over, it wasn't even on my wishlist but I liked the style of it, will likely play it sometime in 2021.

This new sale is ridiculous, isn't it? Four of my watch list games are in it & when I browsed through the full list I could probably pick up a good few more.

My other auntie has said she's gonna send me some eShop money as a birthday present, so after UGG I'll be seeing what looks legit in this sale. Maybe I'll finally play Sonic Mania, which is apparently not shit despite being a Sonic game.

I'm having a proper look at the moment as I just had £16 put into my PayPal from CD Keys, that I may get something on the eShop

Has anyone got any thoughts on The Coma: Recut, Wandersong or YIIK? Or should I just get Ori as I know I like it and would like to support the devs after playing it via Game Pass as I will do for Ori 2 as well?

I've come up with some recommendations though:

Bastion
Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons
Donut County
Final Fantasy VII and IX
Gone Home
Inside
Okami
PAN-PAN
Rime
Slay the Spire, I'm yet to play this myself but it is like the 3rd highest-rated game of the year that might be worth a look
The Gardens Between
Three Fourths Home
Timespinner
Transistor
Untitled Goose Game
Valkyria Chronicles
What Remains of Edith Finch

These are the only ones on your list I've played, but they are all bangers.

Otherwise, I'm pretty into picking up Edith Finch.

Which should tell you the rest will also be bangers

That's what I was getting at! Don't of them don't seem like my cup of tea but a couple I'm pretty into.

We're rubbing up against the Forumotion post cap, so it's time for a new eShop Thread!
