I had a good play of Slime-San yesterday. Excellent game although the text can be hard to read in portable mode.

I'm tempted by it and I've watched a few videos. Is it tough?

You kind of choose the difficulty unlike alternatives such as Super Meat Boy. I cannot get all of the apples on all of the first 30 stages at the moment but I can get to the final checkpoints.

It's a high pressure puzzle game in some ways whereas Super Meat Boy is 100% a pure platformer.

I don't bother with any of the "town" stuff and unlockables such as other characters who play in different ways just yet though.

OK cheers. Think I will go for it.

Samus Returns is getting great reviews. I don't own a 3DS but I'd love to play it! Give me a Switch version!

Bought it. Will take it to work tomorrow for a blast at lunch time.

I've ordered it as I recently bought a 2DS XL and Metroid (along with fire emblem, Zelda and Mario 3d) was one of my main reasons for getting the handheld at this late stage in it's life.

I really hope they bring out a Metroid game on the switch soon.

Was announced at E3. Its confirmed in development, 2018 release was originally stated I believe.]

Metroid prime 4 will be 2019.

Plainsong · 13 Sep 2017 at 21:53

Details are non-existent so how do you know that?

I will check out the Direct tomorrow.

There are plenty of details of you can stand trawling through the cesspit that is neogaf.

Took the plunge and ordered a Neon Switch from Tesco, £255.

Essential games?

I'm keeping my Wii U/Wii U library so I'll probably skip MK8D Zelda BOTW and Splatoon on Switch.

Battery! · 13 Sep 2017 at 22:48

I managed to talk myself out of buying one, twice over the last few days

Phate · 13 Sep 2017 at 22:50

I'm predicting release dates (mainly) for already announced games and maybe a new announcement or two!

Anyway, must have games. Surely that depends on what kind of games you like?

Phate · 13 Sep 2017 at 22:59

1 minute until the direct!

The direct has been pretty dull so far.
