What time do new releases update on the eshop? Castle Crashers is out today (17th) and I thought it might have went up at midnight yesterday?

I thought pre downloaded games unlocked at midnight as well, I just normally wait till the next day so not 100% sure really. Or do you mean when do new games get added? I thought that was mainly done on Thursdays?

"Big" ("AAA") titles normally unlock in the eShop at 00:00 on the day of release, but other titles usually become available circa 14:00.

Ahh ok, it doesn’t have a preload so I will check the shop again later to see if it’s launched!

I've heard it's pretty good, but, it doesn't play, feel or really have anything to do with Contra other than the name. So pretend it's Bantra and maybe you'll like it more?

I think I want to get one - not sure why I am trying to talk myself out of it, it sounds silly but a console is quite a big purchase.

They do look good and I can't believe the amount of games. I would say without even looking into much there is probably 20 games already out that I really want to play.

All in all would you recommend the Nintendo Switch? No regrets?


I think it's become my main console, no regrets whatever.

But if you're trying to talk yourself out of it, why's that?

A previous mistaken purchase, or maybe something you didn't play? If so, what was that, and why?


A console is quite a big purchase plus I suffer quite badly with anxiety which causes indecisiveness in me. Slightly worried about how much of its life cycle it has left which is silly because even if a new console isn't far off there are still lots of games I would like to play

I'm definitely very tempted and it's encouraging to see so many people think it's a good purchase thanks again.

What is with this relationship that Microsoft and Nintendo seem to be having - I have seen a few xbox exclusives on Switch. I don't know how this came about and what we can reasonably speculate from it in terms of other exclusives coming to Switch or vice versa

If you answer yes to either (or both) of the following questions then I'd say a Switch is pretty much an essential.
1) You want to play Nintendo IPs.
2) Your access to the main TV is limited or your lifestyle means long play sessions are unlikely.

Aye, fair enough. Anxiety can be a bugger like that.

I reckon the Switch has 2-3 years pumping out new games. It'll ride out the launches of the Sony and NS new consoles, and probably their first year as well. But, then, what do I know?

I don't really know what's going on with this MS Nintendo partnership either - I'm not sure anyone really does outside of those companies. I loved Cuphead, though, and I kind of hope MS add a bit of their knowhow to the online side of things for Nintendo, which is the only bit that I think needs improvement re the Switch. I mean, from what people say, I don't really bother with online much myself.

It is a lot of money, mind, so fair play for weighing up your options. Personally, I've no regrets from jumping in, and there's a stack of games that could last for years. As well as loads of cheap indie games, if that's your thing.

But then, I can only think of a couple of consoles that I actually regretted in the end, so have a reckless approach to these matters

I think the Switch is going to go down as one of being Nintendo’s strongest consoles in terms of libraries, and this is even more true if you skipped the Wii U and the ports are new to you.
