[Joedev]

Not many big titles this month, outside of Zelda, as most were likely avoiding this month. I am interested in LEGO 2K Drive and think that would be a fun game to pick up and play with the kids, but it's definitely something I can wait till there is a good sale. Hopefully the performance is ok on Switch.

I've got my vouchers ready for Zelda, but in the meantime I'm playing Wildfrost and Shovel Knight Puzzle Dungeon, both of which I picked up last month. Having a good time with both.

Interested to see how Super Dungeon Maker does. It hits on the 'Zelda Maker' idea that fans have asked for, but I'm not sure user created dungeons will actually be any good and that the game will suffer as a result, but who knows.

Are you all planning on getting Zelda? Are you getting anything else this month?

 

[touchfuzzy]

Zelda is the big one of course. I’ll also be getting Bat Boy as I backed it on Kickstarter, and interested in Cassette Beasts as something to play with my wife.

 

[bixente]

Yeah I'll be playing Zelda.

Cassette Beasts is the other one I'm looking forward to. It's been getting fantastic reviews.

 

[9-Volt]

Yeah, a weak month. I'll probably be done with Zelda quick then finish up stuff I got in April. I hope we have some out of nowhere shadowdrops this month.

I'll get:
Tears of the Kingdom
Bust a Move (it's Bust a Move, dammit)
Lego 2K Drive
Warhammer 40k Boltgun
Cassette Beasts

Maybe:
Dokapon Kingdom Connect (I have no one to play it with rn)
Fuga 2 (maybe later, the first game was pretty good but a side scrolling RPG isn't what I want rn)

Too bad the drought will continue in the upcoming months. We need some reveals and release dates asap!

 

[slide's]

i’m no business expert, but it’s kind of a weird call for nintendo to have Zelda try to compete with Pretty Girls 2048 Strike…

on-topic, I hope Fuga 2 is good! I liked the first one well enough, but I found it extremely repetitive despite being well-designed and pretty well-paced, and this one looks like even more of the same exact mechanics. probably won’t be playing it at launch but I’m definitely interested in hearing impressions!!

 

[Mandos]

I’ll probably wait for a sale on Dokapon kingdom connect since I canceled my discounted preorder. Outside if anything on my wishlist hits the sale threshold I’m after I’m probably not grabbing anything but Zelda.

Lol damn dude there's still 5 games you're buying (including Nintendo's biggest release maybe ever) -- not exactly what I'd call a drought, lol.

 

[edamame]

It's just going to be Zelda for me this month. I'm interested in Puzzle Bobble but not $40 interested, I can wait for a sale.

 

[ITSMILNER]

Zelda for me, interested in Cassette Beasts, Lego Drive and Bat Boy but they will all go on the wishlist waiting for sales.

 

[meatbag]

Lol damn dude there's still 5 games you're buying (including Nintendo's biggest release maybe ever) -- not exactly what I'd call a drought, lol.

That's just @9-Volt for you, I'm partially convinced he's actually a gaming-specialized automaton

Also just playing Zelda for this month. Spent a hundred bucks on the vouchers so no way I'm buying anything that's not on sale.

 

[mintyray]

Bat Boy should be added to highlights!

 

[Sailor Moon]

In for TOTK, and will wishlist Cassette Beasts and Fuga 2 for later purchase for sure.

 

[bixente]

Lol damn dude there's still 5 games you're buying (including Nintendo's biggest release maybe ever) -- not exactly what I'd call a drought, lol.

I hope 9-Volt didn't have a N64 growing up that had some software droughts.

 

[9-Volt]

I hope 9-Volt didn't have a N64 growing up that had some software droughts.

I had and I didn't have any problems with that because I also owned PS1 and Dreamcast and those covered each others droughts very well. Just like DS - PSP and 3DS - Vita eras.

But Switch is the only portable console of its era and when it hits with droughts, no one's there to cover that. Its release schedule is pretty on par with Nintendo DS but it has no its own PSP to compliment it...

 

[Chaotic Neutral]

This is going to be TOTK month for me. Finishing up AW and some backlog until then and inbetween if I need a break.

 

[PixelKnight]

Outside of Zelda, just Boltgun for me.

 

[Joedev]

Bat Boy should be added to highlights!

Done. I originally had it highlighted when I was working on the thread, but then ended up removing it once I realized Cassette Beasts was this month. I hadn't heard of it prior, but the various videos I found are giving me strong Shovel Knight/Mega Man vibes. Hopefully it ends up being good.

 

[9-Volt]

I think I'm gonna get this too:

Convergence: A League of Legends Story out on Switch this month, new trailer

Convergence: A League of Legends Story gets a release date and a brand new trailer to celebrate the news.

nintendoeverything.com

I know nothing about Ekko and his role in LoL at all but the game looks pretty cool. Mageseeker is surprisingly a fun game.

 

[Pineapple]

Just Zelda, hell I probably won't even look at my wishlist for sales this month.

 

[ermitron2]

Yeah only Zelda for me this month, as spent too much last month.

With that said wasn't Trinity Trigger released last week?

 

[9-Volt]

With that said wasn't Trinity Trigger released last week?

In NA. European release is slated for May.

 

[NarohDethan]

Debating whether to get Lego 2K Drive on Xbox or Switch

 

[ermitron2]

In NA. European release is slated for May.

Ah , those xseed/marvelous shenanigans again

Minit Fun Racer surprise dropped yesterday, I picked it up and it’s pretty fun. £2.69 and all proceeds go to charity!

wow! this looks rad, minit was pretty great and everyone on that team does cool stuff.
have they indicated anywhere which charity/ies the money goes to? the eshop page and official website just say “to charity” which means basically nothing to me lol

Yeah I’m not sure which charity exactly, I can’t see it mentioned anywhere either.

This does look cool too but man this and Mageseeker kind of just getting dumped on to the digital shops with little to no promo. There's barely even any reviews for Mageseeker. I thought Riot would try to pump these up a bit more.

Minit Fun Racer is a speedy racer, with proceeds going to charity

Designed by the Minit developer team

www.polygon.com

"Full proceeds will always go to charity; the first charity chosen by the team is Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders). The Minit Fun Racer team will eventually rotate in another charity, with plans to donate to a variety of organizations."

rad, thanks for digging that up.

though it is from the game’s original release two+ years ago! so I imagine they’ve rotated to another by now, and I’d hope there’d be an easy place to see where the money’s going lol—especially since they’re actively working on new ports like this
I don’t mean to come across as overly cynical, and I’m sure the money’s going somewhere decent, but I can’t help but be a little skeptical whenever I see a nebulous “all proceeds to ~charity~!” label slapped on something, especially combined with my mild distrust of Devolver to begin with lol. but I do trust the devs and I’ll probably be dropping 3 smackers on this soon regardless

Yep, I agree with you, it is weird. GoNintendo asked Devolver on Twitter which charity the money was being donated to and still has not received a response.

 

[SothisKrieg]

In may 2022 the développer of patrick's parabox stated that the Switch version will come soon.... And here we are, i'm still waiting

 

[ITSMILNER]

Fights in Tight Spaces comes to Nintendo Switch May 25th!

 

[slide's]

i forget if this port had already been announced but Maquette is coming out on May 25th:


honestly I've only heard negative things about it (especially the story) since it first released lol but it seems like an interesting puzzle game otherwise—there was one section of Superliminal that involved traveling through recursive spaces which was probably my favorite part of that game

 

[ITSMILNER]

 

[Aostia82]

For those who are interested in gardening, we are making a giveaway for a coup0le of Switch EU codes of

GARDEN SIMULATOR

Post below the news is enough to participate, contest open until June 4th

 

[bixente]

I bought Arcade Paradise. If Garden Simulator is half as good, I'll be happy.

 

[PixelKnight]

'Sky Oceans: Wings For Hire' Is A Skies Of Arcadia-Inspired JRPG Coming To Switch

The sky's the limit

www.nintendolife.com

Sky Oceans looks like it might be fun

 

[ITSMILNER]

Still wish SEGA would bring actual Skies of Arcadia into the HD era

 

[PixelKnight]

I was browsing the eshop last night, thinking about picking up a couple of indies to play over the summer. I’d somehow forgotten how much of a pain it is to use. It’s so slow and chugs along. I wanted to have a look at the last few weeks releases, then what’s upcoming, then my wishlist to see if any were on sale, but in the end I gave up as they’ve managed to make a simple shop with some basic search criteria so tedious to use.

Yeah it’s not great, I tend to use Deku Deals mostly and then just go to the eshop when I want to buy a game.

 

[bixente]

I finished the story in Arcade Paradise. Brilliant game.

Picked up Railbound, Parasite Pack, and Powerwash Simulator.

 

[Mandos]

Hmm, Mega dimension Neptunia VII is on sale on switch for 70% off and I’m curious… is the switch port really that bad? I have a high tolerance and I’m curious about the series

It's not that bad. I mean there are frame drops but they're nothing like the first three games on Vita. If you have high tolerance for that you'd be ok.

That said... Performance is not the worst thing about the series. It's not a JRPG for everyone. It's a blend of JRPG and visual novel and the vn part of it is a total snoozefest. "slice of life", they describe such things as, but this gets the whole cake. Nepnep and friends talk and talk and talk... about absolutely nothing. If you can put up to that, there's a fine JRPG at the core is waiting for you. Fine, in Compile Heart standards.

I really need to pick up Railbound some day. I'm not able to stop playing Zelda for a while, but maybe after that!
