It’s dark souls. The original version (on Xbox anyway) ran like dog gooseberry fool and is still one of my favourite games of all time. The switch version could run equally dog gooseberry fool and it would still be better than 99% of stuff. Get it bought!

See previous page for graphics check, frame rate test and gameplay, Yoshimi :) .

Oh, and - finally - some Nicalis games are in a sale on the eShop! :shock: . This is not a drill... it's actually happening! Cave Story + £13.49, VVVVVV £4.49, Binding of Isaac Afterbirth + £17.98, End is Nigh £4.58.

I'm tempted by ALL of them :fp: . And I already have some of them on cart :fp: .

Ahhhh Ikaruga's on sale too! Was hoping that'd get discounted before the flip grip arrives next month :toot:

Not to make you spend money sir but VVVVV is terrific on Switch, easily the best version as they actually converted the code to 60fps! Veni Vidi Vici's never been so smoothly maddening ^.^

Oh boy! I love the game on 3DS and I'm tempted to get this Switch version. I'm literally scared to attempt Veni Vidi Vici again, though :dread: .

Enjoy VVVVV gang :toot: Still need to go back to do more of the pre-loaded custom levels.

Also can anyone vouch for The End is Nigh? Super tempted at £4.58. Is a bit silly I haven't gotten to it sooner as a big Meat Boy fan

I got an imported cart version, Jazzem, and I think it's a great game. I've not played much of Meat Boy but I have to be honest and say that most folk don't think that Nigh is quite in that league. However, at under a fiver and considering it's very good, I'd suggest it's well worth checking out.

[Dectective jawa has spotted that Mafro is playing Dark Souls RIGHT NOW and Jazzem is playing Ikaruga RIGHT NOW. Dat new Switch game feeling :datass: ]

Ah ace sir, you did well to get import cart! Your physical Switch collection must be very snazzy :toot:

Thanks for heads up, think I'll still grab it while not expecting Meat Boy levels of quality

Yup! Got it slightly awkwardly propped up on the 3DS Kid Icarus stand in vertical mode, looks gorgeous!

Still can't get past stage 2 on no continues mode though :simper:

Done the Undead Asylum but I'm going to leave it till tomorrow before playing any more since the servers aren't turned on yet.

Does anyone know if Knight Terrors (on sale now). Has leaderboards, and, if so, does anyone here own it?
I find games like this are good fun, but a touch aimless without something to drive you on.

It's Dark Souls, it's gooseberry fool, but every one loves it, so. What do you think his answer will be?

GAFcetera still losing it over the audio :lol: https://www.resetera.com/posts/13929463/

It's pathetic, it really is.

Apparently Nintendo Life have a different definition of 'perfect' to the rest of us. Either that or they have a patched version with 'perfect' audio (which seems unlikely).

What a load of ......... &^$%$*^$

I'm fuming about this audio issue.

I've watched a few vids of the game on YouTube and it sounds kinda okay to me; perhaps not as good as some other console versions but not exactly bad. Some of the comments were worrying me that it was gonna be "horrific" or something :lol: .
