I'm so happy that it's coming to the Switch of all things. However, there's no way I'm going to buy it again. Especially since the MP was pretty bad.

This. Hopefully they start getting some of the newer games when they release elsewhere. Can't say I'm thrilled for Skyrim. Doom on PC with nice graphics and higher FPS was awesome, though. Curious how big it's going to be on switch, it was at least 50 gb on PC.

Also, I finally bought Shovel Knight and I don't know why I waited so long. It's easily top 5 for switch titles out right now, IMO.

More than 32gb, since they're not packing the multiplayer onto the retail cart, but less than the PC version since there's no Snapmap mode.

The best Kirby ability was eating the smashball in Robobot and getting the full SmashBros moveset. Felt SO good.

You don't have to pay out the nose to import it. Make a JPN eshop account and buy it at retail price.

Oh yeah, good point! I dunno, if it didn't cost too much more, I'd like the physical copy. It's called "Gal Metal" and will probably have some sweet box art.

No idea if this fat red cat and/or X Japan are going to be in the game but

Mirror is in the hallowed halls of Ninja and Jet that are awesome once you're older and know true power and can make Yoyo look like a chump.

Yoyo owns because of it's super attack that has Kirby launch to the top of the screen making GBS threads stars everywhere while totally invincible. That and it's just a neat tool in general.

Mirror is cool but it didn't have anything super wild until Robobot and was just a different flavor of Beam with a neat dash animation/attack and shield :v:vo

Looks like it's pretty casual. It seems to notice positioning and strike the corresponding drum, but the kick looks automated (it'd pretty much have to be, unless it ships with an accessory).

So... With this and other posts, I'm getting the sense that there are is more challenge available in Steamworld Dig 2 compared to the first one? The first one was straightforward until the very end, when it suddenly threw a boss-fight into the mix.

I'm still quite early in (somewhat over an hour, thus far), and I'm really digging it so far (oh yes. I went there). A nice evolution over the first game. I hope they bring the other Steamworld games to Switch. I'd totally double-dip on Heist to get it in portable form.

Atelier Firis (the last game in the trilogy) had to be patched post release because of numerous glitches. The company changed hands after the Atelier Arland series (Rorona, Totori, Meruru) and quickly went downhill. They had a decent game in the Dusk series, but Koei Tecmo's localization started introducing glitches, especially in the Vita re-releases. Ultimate attacks calling sound files from early game dialogue that was missing, late game skill trees crashing the system because it tried to call Japanese character sets, and lazy typos.

it's probably better for online play but if I'm on the bus or train ARMS is better, if only because I can do CPU fights that are actually difficult. idk if it changed or not but the wiiu version of Pokken's single player was braindead

I like Arms more than Pokken but they're both good. Pokken, on Wii U at least, had a really unpolished feel to it that kinda bugged me.

Single player in a fighting game= training mode btw. All fighting game cpus just sniff your inputs and break game rules at high enough level. Playing them doesnt get you to improve vs humans like combo trials and lab work do. But i suppose only really stubborn people like me enjoy that.
