Waiting for the probable January Nintendo Direct before any more purchases...
NSMBUD for me this week!
I'm going to be getting Out Run for sure, never got the 3DS version so this is a must.
Just NSMBU Deluxe physical release for me.
Got tales in yesterday, so much fun
Outrun, no question
Out run is great. Outrun on 3ds is simply beautiful
Today is the last day of a bunch of the current sales, including Octopath Traveller
Can anyone with both the 3DS and Switch version of OutRun tell me if the Switch version is worth getting if you already have the 3DS version? My 3DS isn't yet retired, so that's not a concern for me.
Tales of Vesperia all the way!!!!! I am in Mexico but I have a Norwegian account so I will get to play this one day earlier(Tonight!!).
@Fuz According to the info I've gathered, it's based on the 3DS version, but with some added features, like optional motion controls, new music tracks, or, of course, the bigger screen size and the ability to play it on your TV too if you want. That's why I'll buy it today, day one, despite having it on 3DS, where I honestly, and especially after owning the Switch, see the game screen too small nowadays.
And... a really poor deals week for Wii U and 3DS, if you ask me.
Always gutting when the only mildly interesting offers announced in these press releases are already live on the eshop and you've seen them all. A few days wallet respite at least.
Just Tales of Vesperia for me.
Tales of Vesperia without question! Gotta be up there with Xenoblade 2 and YS VIII as one of the greatest JRPGs on the Switch.
Also, NSMBU Deluxe and Outrun.
(And counting down the days to Dragon's Dogma in March and Final Fantasy X and XII in April, which they just announced... sorry Yoshi, Mortal Kombat 11 and Trials Rising, you've been outclassed by timeless classics)
Oh hey, Momodora! Every time this game was on sale on Steam I was strapped for cash (or got something else instead) and forgot it existed when it wasn't. And in the recent months I started wishing it would come out on my designated indie machine – looks like I got my wish!
I am tempted by Super Mario Bros U, but I can't get past World 3-3 in SMB3, which makes me question if I am really that interested in a classic Mario game. This one has better multiplayer though...
Outrun is day 1 minute 1, because SEGA needs to publish more of those.
Bury me my love, because I hate playing on my phone. Even literal phone games. (But I heard the QoL are good on Switch)
Lightseekers for me. I downloaded on my mobile when it was announced for Switch and I can't put it down. Fantastic card game with some unique mechanics to keep things fresh and give it a better tactical feel. Highly recommended.
@JaxonH Many thanks for the heads up. April is going to be an expensive month. Woo hoo.
@Fuz Both are made by M2 so you can expect the same quality overall.
As of the features, you lose 3d of course.
But the everything else seems present:
switch between new and old game version
change difficulty
change time limit
switch between mph & km/h
multiple transmission modes
Display has a full mode, widescreen mode and an arcade mode that puts a (pixel perfect?) 4/3 screen inside the old arcade cabinet so you can feel like playing the actual game. This is pure M2 goodness. You can even choose between the different cabinet styles that were available over the years.
Good stuff.
I can't wait for M2's Space Harrier again.
I’ve just bought OutRun. That should be downloaded and ready to play by the time I get home from work
I will get New Super Mario at some point, and Princess Madelyn Physical is on its way, but still pounding on spirit board (with my face sometimes) with Smash
Forgot about outrun...
lovely. very very happy. cannot wait.
Outrun downloaded minute it was available. I have the 3ds version which I love, and I can highly recommend this version as it offers silky smooth frame rate and full widescreen as well as other display options. Please can we have Coast to Coast this year! Or a brand new Outrun game.
Outrun.
More arcade racers please Sega!!
0_0 .... oh!
I may have misread Clock Simulator
@Moroboshi876 @neufel Thanks for the info girls/guys/other! I will think about it, though Battle Princess Madelyn is my current priority.
Anyone going to take a gamble on the bowling game?coupd be a good party game. I haven’t used the switch much yet regarding motion controls.
And the winner is Outrun. Gotta be the topic of almost half the comments so far.
I'll be picking up the Sega Ages release of OutRun and Tales of Vesperia.
Outrun, the 3ds version was great but can't wait to see it on the big screen. I thought Sega were doing Alex kidd in miracle world but haven't heard anything more.
No one mentioned Hollow Knight guess we all own it!!!
@Moroboshi876 TBF this is coming off from a monster Christmas sale and a New Year's sale after so we are going to be in for some average weekly sales for awhile.
To be honest I'm glad there's nothing to tempt me except Outrun this week. Must have spent a fortune in the last sale. I did get HoPiKo today for the PS4 since it was only £1.49.
Bought tales of physical and downloading everything to play with my kid.
@Mooj738 I completely missed that! Thanks for the prompt. It’s been on my watch list since release.
Haven't got hollow knight yet because of timing reasons.
It's very well reviewed, do you guys recommend it?
@erv It's beautiful, it's pretty hard but it gives back a lot.
Crawled back on the 2018 GOTY list on some sites after already being on those in 2017 just because of the 2018 Switch release.
'nuff said.
Not sure if I am remembering this wrong but I thought that Outrun on 3ds featured a moving background and animated steering wheel on the arcade cabinet view. Seem to be absent from the Switch version unless I am missing an option. Felt more immersive on 3ds because of those things to me.
Snowboarding will be at the next phase when Nintendo releases a new 1080!
@erv yes totally so much going for it. I loved the experience the whole way the first hour was a little like what is going on but it just hooks you! Very Very postive with loads of extra content all free perfect time to invest as it goes with the main game as wellv
