I’m no hardcore tournament-level combatant or anything, but both Guilty Gears seem to run just as well on Switch as any other platform I’ve played them on. The original Guilty Gear, in particular, is a treat, as I’d never played it before, and it’s a cool 90’s throwback to the series’ pre-HD...

Quick word of warning to those considering alternative Sega controllers: I own both 8Bitdo’s Bluetooth pad and Retro-Bit’s 2.4gHz pad. Because the Switch doesn’t read the Retro-Bit’s USB dongle as a Pro Controller, like it does the 8Bitdo, you can’t re-assign buttons at the system level. This...

Same here, just got an email from Target saying my order had been cancelled. Just ordered this morning about 2.5 hours ago. Shame, would've been a great price.

Hotshot Racing is only $5, down from $20, its lowest discount ever. Co-developed by Sumo Digital, longtime stewards of Sega’s racing franchises (and a solid racing dev for years prior, as Gremlin Interactive) it wasn’t quite the “modern take on Virtua Racing” everyone hoped for, but it’s still a...

Just successfully bought one now at 12:13am Eastern, so there must’ve been a quick restock.

BotW is easily my “game of the generation” (whatever that means anymore) and the DLC makes an already huge game that much more massive, but honestly, it’s hard to give it a blanket recommendation. I found some of the goals obnoxiously hard to accomplish, so I STILL haven’t seen all the story...

Got my code from Walmart quickly and just tried to redeem it on the eShop. As I posted above, looks like this stock refresh is DLC only, no full game. Here's what it looks like when I try to redeem on the shop: [attachment=35189:image0.jpeg]

I just placed an order, I'll let you all know asap. UPDATE: looks like these new codes are just the DLC, folks :(

Adorama is a legit retailer, they mostly sell cameras and videography equipment. Surprised to see them selling games now, but hey, it’s a crazy world.

Jupiter’s free-to-play Pokémon Picross game on 3DS is also a great entry point!

If anyone's still on the fence about Hades: grab it. Switch version has been praised for the quality of the port by several outlets; I personally haven't encountered any performance issues. I had previously missed the launch sale by one day, but my podcast co-host convinced me that it was a game...

Digital Foundry had great things to say about Skyrim when the Switch version was first released: https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2017-skyrim-switch-vs-playstation-4

Spider Solitaire is showing up 100% off for me. Long list of Baltoro-published games to make you eligible for the discount: https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/spider-solitaire-switch/

Completely forgot this game existed! Thanks for the reminder, just happened to have exactly 1000 platinum coins on hand to grab it.

I’m playing on a New 2DS XL, and even without the 3D, the graphics are fine. All you’re losing from other versions is resolution, as the original 2006 PC game was hard-capped at 30 fps. What makes it stand out for me, as I mentioned in an earlier post, is that it’s a particularly well-made...
