Those are polar opposite purchases and both very much worth your money, but for completely different reasons. Do you want more zelda? Buy it. Do you want to relive the glory days of sonic? Buy it. Buy both, is the real answer.

Gann Jerrod posted:So I’ve got $20 in eShop credit, and I’m between Sonic Mania and the Zelda DLC. Which would you say is a better bang for your buck? Sonic definitely is a better value but the Zelda DLC is worth it if you enjoyed the main game. I recommend playing getting it and playing it before beating the game, if you haven’t already.

Thanks for the suggestions, I went with Sonic because I have put over 100 hours in base Zelda, so maybe I can try something a little different.

From March, you'll be able to use My Nintendo Gold Coins as currency in the Switch eShop: https://www.nintendo.co.uk/News/201...ntsOnEshop%7Cw6 No mention of the conversion rate, but I imagine it'll probably end up somewhere in the vicinity of the 10% cashback scheme they had going on Wii U.

In the near future, there are two leagues with 6 teams each. Players pick their team, and compete for the championship. As the game progresses, landmines will be set up on the field, and armor can be purchased during games to reinforce players. These unique aspects make for a very different baseball experience! Aegis Defenders - $19.99 / £14.99 / €19.99 Digital - [NA] [EU] Explore, build, & defend in this unique mashup of action-platformer and tower defense strategy. You play as a team of Ruinhunters searching for the one thing that can save their village - a legendary weapon known as Aegis.

Find new Elements and Abilities, and mix them for more destructive power – beat your enemies with plasma-coated spiral rockets, scrap them with electric mines, or overwhelm them off with devastating lasers. Travel to vast hostile worlds in Campaign to find your old team. Push through the factions standing in your way to the truth. Also, with co-operative play, experience an added challenge as the enemies you fight become tougher. Versus is the true test of friendship. Don't lose your focus by collecting power-ups in the map for instant abilities, elements, and maybe, a chance to survive. Versus comes with eight fully customisable rule sets, for quick scraps or longer fights. Go it alone in Free-For-All, or buddy up in Team Battles and share the victory. Add up to four AI players for true five-player* battles! Finally, in Onslaught, your enemies won’t stop until you're defeated, so stand your ground. Survive long enough to unlock new maps. Good luck. Arcade Archives Crazy Climber - $7.99 / £6.29 / €6.99 Digital - [NA] [EU] CRAZY CLIMBER is an action arcade game produced by Nichibutsu in 1980.

ATOMIK: RunGunJumpGun - $7.99 / £7.99 / €7.99 Digital - [NA] [EU] ATOMIK: RunGunJumpGun is a tough as nails 2D Action Platformer that puts a teeth-rattling, gravity-defying weapon in your hands. With a cast of crazed characters, simple but beautifully difficult gameplay, and a pulsing musical score, ATOMIK: RunGunJumpGun is a loud, trippy mess of twitchy platforming goodness. The two-button setup is disarmingly simple. One button shoots downwards, propelling you through the air. The other shoots forward, destroying anything that’s in your path. There is no stopping in this beautifully surreal world littered with deadly traps and soul-crushing obstacles around every corner. Players will have to constantly alternate between the two firing modes to maneuver through meticulously crafted levels where death is a promise not a possibility. There is only running, gunning, jumping, and gunning, in a mad dash to survive long enough to die again. Black Hole - $5.99 / £5.40 / €5.99 (Feb 6) Digital - [NA] [EU] Black Hole is an arcade-style twin-stick shooter in space.

You can even team up with a friend in local co-op mode! Dandara - $14.99 / £13.49 / €14.99 (Feb 6) Digital - [NA] [EU] The world of Salt hangs on the brink of collapse.

Welcome to a unique 2D metroidvania platformer full of mystical creatures and boundless exploration. Defy gravity as you jump across floors, walls, and ceilings alike. Discover the mysteries and secrets hidden throughout the world of Salt and its diverse array of characters. Empower Dandara for combat and survival against enemies bent on oppression. Awaken, Dandara, to bring freedom and balance to this directionless world. The Darkside Detective - $12.99 / £11.69 / €12.99 (Feb 7) Digital - [NA] [EU] Where cultists crawl, where demons dwell, where the occult… occults? *ahem* That's where you’ll find Detective Francis McQueen, the lead investigator of the criminally underfunded Darkside Division. When evil darkens the doorsteps of Twin Lakes City – hell, even when it just loiters around shop fronts or hangs out in shady alleyways – he’s there, ready to investigate the cases that nobody else will. He is The Darkside Detective. The Darkside Detective is a micro-adventure game with a distinct sense of humour.

Has anyone picked up Mercenaries Saga yet? I played the demo for one of them on 3DS and it seemed neat, but I had enough strategy RPGs that I passed. Don't have anything like that on the Switch (I've already beaten Disgaea 5 on PS4), so it has my eye, especially for the price.

Eh, I'm fine with the slow and "clunky" aspects of the Resident Evil 4 style of gameplay, it makes battles tense, dangerous, and exciting. Dodging probably should be difficult because having to turn your back to your enemy to distance yourself from them is a big part of what made the battles in RE4 interesting. It's one of those things that I was worried would be lost with RE7's switch to first person style and was very pleased to find it still present kept intact.

Hey, I maxed out the Dragon Quest Builders demo on the switch. If I buy the full game, do I keep my save? I'd totally not buy if it I can't do that cause I spent a stupid amount of time working on my starter base and I'll just keep playing the demo if that's the case. Everyone said the PS4 version didn't allow it, but nobody has confirmed on switch. That seems like a terribly stupid thing to do, more so if they didn't listen to everyone the first time around.
