Nintendo Switch Official Thread

any word what's dropping on the eShop this week?

I gotta stop buying digital shyt...my backlog is already massive as it is

Graceful Explosion Machine ($12.99) drops Friday
Kind of like a Gradius/R Type style shoot em up with a very colorful aesthetic. The look reminds me a bit of Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime if you've ever played that.
I posted the trailer I think last week in this thread.

Actually playing Blaster Master Zero for the first time today. I only watched my brother play it for a short while when I first bought it and that was it. Really fun game. Little tip, try your best to not get hit when in the overhead sections. Every time you pick up a pink pellet you can upgrade your gun, but if you get hit, you lose one level. The last level gun is op as fukk. It's like the spread gun from Contra

The SwitchCharge might be the first good battery case for the Nintendo Switch

12+ hours of additional battery life.

Still need VC details and I might be on board in a heartbeat.

They need to release that Mana collection in the US

A few Graceful Explosion Machine reviews in.
Overall consensus seems to be that it's pretty repetitive and short but still fun. It's probably best for score hunters as the game has leaderboard support (friend, local and worldwide, I think).
And the game is a timed exclusive, meaning it's comint to other platforms as well later but essentially everyone agreed the Switch version is likely the one you want to get as the game makes a great handheld pick up and play game

Pretty sure Square and the other japanese devs will be like

once the Switch sells a million over there.

Looks like another game demo dropped today in the japanese eshop. You don't have to make a separate account to download from other region's eshop. Just change your account's region at https://accounts.nintendo.com/ by editing your country of residence in your profile. Your NNID will be unlinked after changing but you can relink later.

I got a One S, but I'll probably be buying the switch version of the more arcade-y tired games such as this title. It's dope that it's only going to be $20, though I'm sure they have something up their sleeve to nickel and dime us for more content.

Toys R Us is where I finally got mine in Toronto last week. There was a whole stack of em, the staff barely knew they were in stock... The other big retailers are on the scalpers watch list
