It would presumably need a lot of rework seeing as it was originally built for XBO? I too would be all for it though!

Yeah it was originally meant for the Xbox One, cancelled back in 2017.

I imagine it would need quite a bit of work to get it running decently on the Switch, if I recall correctly the performance of it on the Xbox One wasn’t the greatest, so actually bringing it to the Switch would be quite the achievement if it stays pretty much intact from its Xbox One roots.

So Platinum have Astral Chain, Bayonetta 3 and (potentially) Scalebound on the go........seems a lot for them to juggle? Unless Scalebound was a lot closer to completion than we thought and the work going on is just to get it running on Switch.

There's that Square-Enix game they're working on too that was revealed at E3, Babylon's Fall. Sadly not coming to Switch though. :( I feel like they were doing something with Matsuno too, but I think it might be dead now. :cry:

I'd love the mystery game to be Scalebound, but it seems too good to be true. I saw someone elsewhere suggest Cry On, I hope it's that. Need another console-scale Sakaguchi RPG.

According to the GameXplain video they have 206 staff and outsource some of their workload so it doesn’t seem impossible to think they could have 3 big titles in the works for the Switch although it does seem a little unlikely in my opinion, but saying that Astral Chain is probably very nearly completed if its launching at the end of August (well, completed in the next few months) so that would free up a lot of staff.

I'll be happy with the Resident Evil collection whenever that gets a release date and even though I have access to them all on PC I'd love the Dead Space games for on the go.

Uurgh, Shopto. :fp:

Trying to get that cheap Nintendo online sub and the site is strawberry floating horrible. Can't sign in, says login details (saved by Chrome) are incorrect. Tried to create new account, says account already exists with that email. Tried to reset password, says it doesn't recognise my email address. Tried to create new account with work email address, it's been frozen like this for ten minutes:

Websites that just don't work properly in 2019. :|

Would have been worth paying three quid extra to avoid this hassle, and now I'm going to have to pay the three quid extra anyway.

Yeah... ShopTo are excellent for pricing and delivery (free Royal Mail first-class postage on games) but their website is awful. Searching for stuff is just so poor and slow. Most of my Nintendo orders go through them, though.

I gave up and coughed up the extra £2 to go via Nintendo. Tetris 99 is too damn tempting. Might try to get back on the MK Monday train, if that's still happening?

It is. It's not as packed as it once was, but I expect it'll go through quite and loud phases like other previous forum online stalwarts such as Counterstrike and Splatoon.

I hadn't played in almost a year and it really showed. I was so out of practice, though I did snag a nice win on Wario Mines (Or whatever it's called).

This looks kind of interesting and for less than a fiver I will probably give it a go.



Isometric golf games are a bit of a weakness, I'd literally kill for a Switch version of Sid Meier's Sim Golf.

Yeah, if you went down the toy route than you can play digitally; you'll just need to "touch in" the toy parts once a week.

Won't even need to do that as the starting parts are unlocked digitally too

Hmmm I didn't realise that. I quite fancied the game but the toys put me off.

I decided to got down the "digital" route for the game and it works well; no toys involved, just select the bits that you want to use on-screen. You get more parts with the digital versions of the game, too.

I'm not slating the physical version - the toys look ace! - but, for me, I went for the digital option due to cost and space reasons.
