I'm getting Isaac, Rabbids and Fifa and I might be tempted to get Rayman and Pokken. 

Splatoon 2 really needs to fix its balancing as I have often come up against level 15+ while still being level 4.

My brother will be getting FIFA so I won't bother as I'll only play it when I'm with him. Ray man is a shout actually, especially as it's cheap and I've not played it. If I have the funds or a need for it I might pick it up but Rabbid's might last me until Mario, still can't believe that's an October release! Pokken is yet another fighting game I have little interest in, I did like the WiiU demo though. 

I keep forgetting Pokemon Sun/Moon 2 is actually a thing! Can't believe how quiet they are being with that. 

Yeah I hope they fix the balancing of Splatoon then, that sounds like a right pain. 

I wonder when Yooka-Laylee and Stardew Valley will be released. Yooka really needed to be out before Mario IMO.

Rabbid's went up at Nintendo Store today, £50 no pre order bonus so screw that I've preordered it for £43 from Amazon. 

Also ended up ordering Cave Story+ in the end for £26 from 365Games.co.uk. Never used them before but they have some real good prices and free postage so this is a test run with them (They have Fire Emblem Warriors cheapest I've seen IIRC). £26 for an import title isn't bad at all, they even have Has Been Heroes for £20 (I payed £25) where most places have it here for £30ish. Ended up getting it as digital is dearer one eshop and it's a game I've always wanted to experience, plus the physical release is pretty decent (manual and CD). Possibly could have waited to see if Cave Story was released here but after the joke of a release Issac has been I'm happy to "import" it. Plus I'm worried it'll be hard to find as I've never got my hands on the 3DS version as it's pretty rare, good job really as apparently it's a terrible port. Plus Cave Story+ got a new update today adding the original graphics or something. 

Also looking at getting Axiom Verge (2D Metroid type game developed by one man!) but it's not up on UK stores yet. Anyone played that? Another one I wanted to play that I never got around to on WiiU and now it's physically :D. I can preorder it from Amazon.com for a decent price but waiting for UK preorders. 

So my Switch line up ATM: 

Zelda - No DLC yet

MK8D - Few 200cc to do

Has Been Heroes

Cave Story+ - In Post

Mario + Rabbid's - Preordered

Mario - Preordered

Finished Ever Oasis and the last few dugeons are really ace but a tad too easy/simple. All in all I enjoyed the game but it was lacking something I can't put my finger on, a solid 8/10 though IMO. 

As for the Switch I finished Cave Story+ tonight and that's a brilliant game! The game play is super fun with decent platforming, a cool weapon upgrading system and plenty of weapons and secrets to find. It's a shooting platformer yet you have quests for each area to keep you busy, personally I found it really unique and interesting. The music is solid and the story really pulls you in and it even has some emotional moments which is crazy really for a run and gun game. It's also pretty hard as the game said to play on easy if you hadn't played it before and at times it gave me a right challenge tbh, I actually look forward to trying the harder difficulties as while it was testing it was rarely cheap and always felt fair. The only negative I can have for it is it's fairly short (5-6 hours at a guess) although it does have multiple endings so I could lengthen the experience if I wanted to by going for a different ending (I got the good ending) or by playing on a harder difficulty etc. If I paid the £26-30 for it digitally I'd be kinda disappointed, however the physical addition is pretty great as it's got beautiful box art, a fantastic old school manual and a mini disc soundtrack. All in all I'm really happy I picked it up and I can see myself playing it again in the coming months/years. It's one I would recommend you experience (and I mean experience) but maybe wait for a sale digitally or get the physical release. It's crazy to think it was made by one guy a decade or so ago tbh. 

I also downloaded and played the Rayman demo which was released today. I enjoyed the first two levels enough but the third music level was just something else! It was ace and I smiled the entire time lol. I think that level might have sold me on this game, maybe not at launch but I do want to play it now! It also has a football mini game which I want to try with my brother as that could be a good laugh. For a budget title it has my attention that's for sure. 

Now I'm just waiting for Mario + Rabbid's to release :D

So who else got Mario + Rabbids? I've seen @Real_Randomplaying it ;)

Just finished the first world and really loving it! I was getting worried around release but it reviewed well so I was just hoping I'd enjoy it at that point. It is bloody difficult though, a word of advice is to upgrade weapons/skills often! Think I might even replay the first world and pick up some of the perfects I missed which isn't something I do often! It's such an odd game that just works! My only complaints would be you can't cancel moves which is a total bitch and the fact you don't always get health back, both can be annoying but nothing major.

I am up to the second world and am really enjoying it, it's a quality game and is fun to play and that's all a game needs to be for me to enjoy it.

Agreed! The first world boss was ace lol, not sure how I got a perfect first try in fairness though! I ended up going back and getting perfect for every first world level as I wanted to grind some coins. I'll start the second world tonight :) 

What's your team ATM? I'm using Rabbid Peach (for bulk/health mainly), Mario and Luigi. I dunno why but i freaking love sniper Luigi and his death stare haha. Once I unlock more people I don't I'll use the Rabbids tbh, but I am enjoying Peach lol. Yoshi is my favourite so I'm hoping he's good :D. 

How you finding the difficulty?

I have the same team as you. I can handle the difficulty but some levels have taken me 10+ attempts to complete. I learnt though you can't have an all Rabbids or all Mario team which limits options but isn't too bad.

Same, so far it's challenging but not too bad as I can usually complete the task but I might take too many turns or let someone die etc. 

You getting Isaac next week?

Most likely I will get Isaac, I agree in Mario+ Rabbids it can be good to lose one character for the greater good of the whole team

I've for it ordered :). I see it as an ever green title so I might not jump straight into it though. 

On the toad escort mission in the second world and it's kicking my arse currently! Hopefully work it out tomorrow lol, I just can't keep toad safe haha.

If that's the one with all the pipes try to get toad surrounded by your heroes and just keep using the pipes. I struggled with the same level and just kept trying

Done both escort missions today, they were pretty tough! On the main boss of the second world now, I only had one go though and turned it off. 

Edit - Beat the boss on first try after going back on it but only got a fair rating :@. Lost a hero and took too long :@. I have 3 goods to turn to perfect and the fair then I'm done with world two.

Impressive work, did you find the second world boss easier than the first because imo the first world boss is more irritating and painful to fight

Design wise I found the second one pretty disappointing as the first was all kinds of awesome lol. I already knew about him unfortunately as he was in the trailer but to see a more basic second boss disappointed me a little lol. 

Erm difficultly wise I'm not sure tbh, the first took me a little while to work out how to beat him but once I did it wasn't too hard, I got a perfect on the first completed try. It was irritating trying to get close with him always knocking you back though. The second was more basic IMO in how to beat him but it was more challenging to keep my guys health up (multiple hits, blocks breaking etc) and losing Luigi for Peach screwed me up. Once I understood what Peach could do and how to use her it wasn't too bad, but it still took me a few goes and I only got a fair once i finished it. Issue was I got to the "fourth stage" and I was around the back of him and I had to travel to the front to slide his hand thingy which wasted a few turns and put me over the target amount. Mario also died due to Peach killing him lmao, I didn't realise her gun did friendly fire :P. I didn't end up playing yesterday so I've made no more progress but I intended to perfect world 2 today. 

Edit - 

Perfected world 2 so both of those are done now. Started world 3 and I just killed the last Rabbid to beat the level and the game crashed and shut down! That ever happen to you? Turned it off in a paddy after that :P

I've had the game crash once and I have noticed a few frame rate drops while playing and it can be really annoying. Hopefully your progress saved.

That's first and only crash I've experienced but I've noticed a few frame rate drops but nothing major. Thankfully my progress did save and I'm now on the third world mini boss who's giving me some trouble.

How's the progress @Real_Random?

I'm currently on world 4-7 but not tried it yet, hoping to finish the main game tonight or tomorrow. World 4 really upped the difficulty i feel! Managed to perfect 1-3 but I have a few I'll have to earn once I've beat world 4. I'm not sure if I'll go through the challenge mode yet or not but we'll see. I do really, really like this game but the over world stuff is starting to get on my nerves now as some of the puzzles are simple yet frustrating, I just wanna be playing the levels. Having to do them all again for the challenge mode is off putting. 

Isaac came today which was a surprise, I thought it was coming tomorrow lol. Not opened it yet though as I want to finish Rabbid's first. 

I'm also very close to preordering Rayman as after that demo I kinda wanna see more and the price is appealing, just annoyed it comes out right before Metroid (3DS). 

Loads of news the last week too, anything catch your eye?

I'm up to 4-3 and Isaac has been delayed until the 12th according to my local EB games. Nothing has really caught my attention but I saw Rockstar releasing LA Noir so that's pretty impressive for the Switch

Nice, let me know when you get to the mini boss! 

That sucks about Isaac but at least it's not too long of a delay. 

I borrowed LA Noir from a mate but I didn't get far into it as i found it boring. I might look into it again though, tbh I'm more excited about the potential of Rockstar supporting the Switch. The indi news caught my attention more lately as there have been a few titles announced that caught my eye. Steamworld Dig 2 has me super excited but I'm disappointed it's digital only. I haven't got any digital titles yet as I'm refusing to buy unless I'm ready to play it ATM as my backlog is stupid lol.

How are the Rabbids treating you @Real_Random?

I got the game to the point I'm happy to leave it with 100% story 85% chests and 90% challenges. Tempted to get the full 100% but I'm tired of exploring the world and the final four hub world challenges are brutal and I CBA to waste hours on them lol. Really loved the game though and as it stands it's easily in my top 5 games of the year and my second favourite Switch game after BOTW. 

Finally got Isaac which I've put a little time into and I still suck at it lol. It is much easier to play on the Switch compared to the 3DS so hopefully I improve with practice. I also have Rayman on my shelf but not allowed to play it yet as it's meant to be a birthday present haha.  Metroid released today so that'll be the next game I dive into in the coming weeks then I'll likely return to Rayman as nothing I want now until Mario Od unless FE Warriors tempts me. Even if it does though I think I'll wait until after Mario though, releasing week before Mario is stupid! Oh there's SteamWorld Dig 2 next week too which I'll likely pick up :D 

Watch the Nintendo direct? Any views or opinions?

I didn't see the direct but I am interested in the games they announced. Even though the ports are old they are still top quality games and Nintendo have done a great job in getting new games and good ports. Xenoblade might tempt me as I never played the original. 

I've almost given up on Rabbits because it is so brutal. I'm up to the wario and waluigi rabbits and they are painful. I'll keep going though

That is a tough one tbf, the game does spike in the last world for sure. My advice is to just get it beat and worry about a perfect later. Unless you're just struggling to beat it in general? What team you using? I stayed with R/Peach, Mario and Luigi and i abused the shit out of the two tank things and their oversight abilities. With the tanks I could get two big hits in and 3 shots from Luigi plus 2 from Mario. After that I just try to survive until those abilities have renewed and go for chip damage. 

I found the direct underwhelming but I liked what they announced it just wasn't what I hoped for. Mario and Dragon Quest Builders were the highlights for me while I wanna look into Doom more. 

Not interested in Xenoblade tbh, I have the first and liked it but for whatever reason I stopped playing it and I haven't returned yet and this was years ago. I do keep intending to play it again though. It's actually one of my greatest finds as I found it for £12 in my local Game which is crazy as its one of the rarest Wii Games. I couldn't believe it when I saw it and when buying it even the lad working was like how did this get on the shop floor so cheap and he was gutted he didn't spot it lol.

I just got up to the final boss and I was so annoyed when I got it done to zero health only for it to re heal. I have the same team as you with the same combination. Great minds obviously think a like

The final boss and the mini boss of the last world gave me a lot of trouble! Once you work out a plan it can be pretty easy though, just keep them close to Peach so she can heal them. Luigi was my star of the game in fairness as he was always vital, sure he's a glass cannon but he just really suited how I wanted to play, most people online seem to think he's one the worst from what I've read :/. This is the first game where I generally really loved Luigi as he's usually nothing or just a green Mario but he was ace on Rabbids IMO.

@Ashez are you enjoying Rayman? Didn't like the demo... I bought One Piece this week through Japanese eshop (way cheaper) and I'm enjoying so much. 

Stalker :P. First time playing it but enjoying it so far but it is rather slow paced. 2D platformers are one my favourite genres though and the music levels are ace. I wasn't going to start it until I'd beaten Metroid but my brother was pestering me/us to start it so we're playing it together now :). 

Cant say I know anything about anime games or shows tbf haha. 

Steamworld Dig 2 released today and I'm very excited for it, especially as it reviewed extremely well. However I'm not buying it until Metroid and Rayman are done as I don't want a Switch backlog lol. 

Anyone tried that RPG demo they released? I keep forgetting to try it out.

From the trailer the game does look very pretty which is why it caught my eye. With RPGs I'm fairly iffy with what hooks me and what doesn't but I'll give it a whirl at some point.
