Hah, I have typed almost exactly the same sentence in the bargains thread just now. Ordered.

Sorry but I have a list of things I'd much rather get. New things that are not lazy arsed ports of something I've already played for 100s of hours.

It's a 90s-styled 3D platformer with incredibly bland styling, kerr... but it's fun to play!

Finished Mario + Rabbids. Absolutely sublime. It was only during the final world, and last couple of chapters did the difficulty really become satisfying though. I refused to advance unless I got a perfect, and the penultimate chapter has three battles back to back, which proved difficult (not losing anyone, and completing it in the specific amount of turns), and the final boss battle (easy to beat, but a task figuring out how to get it under 7 turns). The credits are insanely long! I'm going to mop up collectables and do a couple of challenges tomorrow, before moving on, maybe to Fire Emblem Warriors.

I'm also considering picking up Battle Chasers Night War, which comes out on Tuesday. Some more SRPG goodness, after Mario + Rabbids. The price irks me though, and is making me second guess, but I'd prefer that type of game on Switch, especially if it's around 30 hours.

thanks Jawa I had heard it was a platformer and a sort of 70% er kind of game, but I thought at £15 thats a fair price for it

I really enjoyed Poi! It has a sense or presence and continuous adventure that was lacking from Odyssey, so that's something

I wonder what online related announcements are to be made during E3, now they have detailed the online service you would expect them to have some games with online features ready to announce

Pokemon - Big, open battle frontier style area in game?
Mario Kart - I don’t see them announcing MK9 but what about new DLC seasons for MK8:D?
Return of another classic racing IP - Either Wave Race or FZero
SSB - Online tournaments/leagues etc..?
Metroid Prime 4 - Online multiplayer?

Then of course 3rd parties like Fortnite, Overwatch, GTA 5 and Diablo 3

Be interesting to see how they approach it

SSB will be the big online game to launch with the new service. I don't expect to see any MK8D DLC - they wouldn't be able to re-release it again as an ultimate edition with all the new DLC included, as that's what 8D already is. I think not seeing Pokemon will be the big E3 disappointment from Nintendo for many people. Metroid Prime 4 on the other hand I can see having multiplayer to push the online service.

I reckon we'll get Fortnite Switch with Nintendo exclusive skins.

New 100-to-1 game mode in Splatoon. Believe.

Happy to hear this, I'll probably be playing as well sooner or later!

I'll be gutted if we don't get anything relating to Pokémon on Switch, if we get some news about an Animal Crossing Switch game I can probably let them off

Could use both to advertise the online service as well, Pokémon for trading/battling and Animal Crossing for visiting other players towns etc.

Oh good, you had me worried there.

The online in AC never felt that substantial, so I'm curious if they'll make it more of a big deal this time around.

Fire Emblem is another franchise they could look to really open up with online multiplayer.

I wonder if that’s why we’ve heard nothing about it despite it being announced in Jan 2017 as a 2018 title.

What Retro are rumoured to be working on:

I'd be down for that :toot:

Fire Emblem will definitly have DLC and online multiplayer. I'm not really interested in either addition, or the increasing fanservice, but am still looking forward to the E3 reveal.
