Same ol, same ol. NOA sucks at PR for non "tip top" indies. They will really almost dismiss new indie releases... :/

Dunno, if this is appropriate for this thread, but is there a way to configure the home page other than just the single row?
The switch needs a way to organise the home page real bad.

That happens every week. Just have to wait until Noon for the purchase option to show.

I love these weird indie crossovers.
Currently, no.
At some point you hit a limit and the last item will be a "see more" icon that presents you a full scrollable page of titles, but even then it will be organized based on last use.

Yeah going to get forma.8 and B3: Game for Bees because that title is stupid.
Another Turbografx game this week. Looking at Wikipedia there's also been a lot of PC-Engine releases this year too.
Hopefully we'll get more including Neutopia 2 and Bonk 2 and 3. A shame they're no longer releasing SNES and Super Bonk we remain only on the Wii Virtual Console.
Could see them stretching out releases to last until the end of the year.
I still hope they'll release the final four N64 games missing from the Wii Virtual Console: Cruisin', Pokémon Puzzle League, Super Smash Brothers and Bomberman Hero. Though really I only want the middle two Nintendo ones, especially Pokémon Puzzle League. My most wanted VC release at this point.
There would be something amusing about the final N64 VC game being Bomberman for bothering Wii and Wii U.

Bonk's Revenge came out earlier this month, so that's two already available.
why is america not getting any of these. i saw them on the JP side but i don't want to buy the jp versions because my main account is in the america region.
NoA can't stop being shitty even when the system is in its last years.

Damn, Pocket Fighters really missed its opportunity :/
I hope it still both turns out to be interesting and.... gets released.

Yep, that's my #1 hope at this point.
They've been silent on twitter for nearly a month, but from their last posts it sounds like they're just trying to make sure the netcode works flawlessly.
Probably smarter to delay the game until they get it working well than to release it as-is and have a bunch of reviews complaining about lag even after they patch it.

Owlboy looks awesome, happy about that.
I want Drancia Saga but I'm kinda done spending money on 3DS eShop stuff (or so I thought lol). Hmmm.

Mighty Gunvolt Burst trailer, hitting June 15th on Switch, 29th for 3DS, $10
Edit: & the Gunvolt Striker Pack (contains both games) will hit Switch August 31st. 60FPS, "optimized UI", higher resolution event graphics, all the DLC from the 3DS versions, & a new song from Lumen.

I certainly agree with you and certainly admire getting something to work as well as it can out the door.

I wonder if there's a way to unlock the guest characters in Drancia without owning all of the games (I have a few of them already).
Circle Ent. is asking on Twitter what people want to see next on Switch from Skipmore. I chose Picontier because it looks pretty interesting, but all of the poll choices are equally appealing TBH.
I also voted for Picontier. I've been eyeing that game since I first heard about it but AFAIK it's not actually out on any platform yet.
Looks like Kamiko 2 and Fairune are leading the poll by a pretty large margin though.

So we're more than 2 months into the Switch's life and there still hasn't been a sale on any game in the eshop. Is this normal for new consoles? There are a couple of games that i'm on the fence about downloading and a sale would put me over....
yes, it's normal.

sales aren't happening at the moment, expect them starting late summer/fall. we've discussed this in the last thread. they said as much at some point somewhere but we had trouble tracking down the source of it.
it's quite obvious why, though. everything is new. you want to keep the value proposition up and not devolve into "I'll wait for a sale" stuff right away because that would be stupid.
TheMoon

nah, still way too soon and not necessary. give it half a year.
Yeah, I would say too soon. I'd imagine most eShop games are still doing well enough that a sale this soon really not needed yet. I imagine might start happening by summer or fall more likely.
Hmm, after the Wii U launched, how soon did eShop DLs sales start to happen? Maybe that could give a clue. Though big difference there was that Wii U had a big gap in eShop DL games in it's 1st year.

I think it's in the realm of possibility that we could get some sales during e3 if the virtual console launches. As sort of a grand opening event like they did with the Wii U, but that was spread across several weeks one at a time.

I'm glad Skipmore is getting some recognition, I've been a fan of his for a few years on iOS.
I voted Drancia, even though I just bought it on 3DS (and bought the "Buy us a Beer" IAP from the iOS version way back when).
Nintendo sorely needs to add a notification history.
Random beeps, catching a notice out of the corner of my eye but not fast enough to see what game was just updated.
On another note, still confused why the Switxh launch thread was shut down in a few weeks while something like the Ps4 Pro launch thread still exists months after that came out.

I would like the return of Nindies@home promotion with E3 demos and a little sale if you downloaded the demo.
Stardew Valley, Owlboy, SteamWorld Dig 2, Overcooked, Runner 3, Wargroove, Hollow Knight and some surprise *cough*Undertale*cough*, could be a good line-up.

shhhh, no double standards. only objective and informed discussion now!
that would be excellent.

Got about $30 on the eshop...Think I'm gonna get Wonder Boy...what's a good title $10 or under?
Uh so I bought Drancia Saga and it's a really fun, short yet replayable arcade-y game... just like Fairune... and Kamiko...
HOW DOES HE KEEP DOING IT AGAIN AND AGAIN?
If you like action games, Kamiko and Blaster Master Zero are both good choices. The latter also has various crossover DLC characters coming to replay the game as, Gunvolt was free until a few days ago and the next one (Ekoro from Gal Gun) will also be free when she comes out.

Blaster Master Zero might be worth it, try the demo out.
I've heard decent stuff about Kamiko, a $5 that lasts a few hours, a good "short" game to take a break from when you've just finished a longer title.

A gal gun character?? bought. lol thanks.
Edit: Game seems pretty fun so far. Damn Giant bomb's bad talking this game made me hesitate at first, but this feels like a modern NES game, and in a good way. Maybe not Shovel Knight levels of awesome, but still cool.
Galgun Gal (means "Ekoro") will also be downloadable in Mighty Gunvolt Burst. Was playable from the start in the first one.
