They're already open.
How did I miss it? Thanks!
They're already open.
Why not, dropped a preorder on this. God only knows when/if it'd ever launch locally in Australia anyway.
Region free, so you might be better off importing lol
YesIs this the first physical release?
Chyea, whoops. I meant launch title
Is there any reason to get this on Switch instead of PS4, aside from portability, which I don't plan on using?
Same. Gotta fill up mah fridge.My fingers are crossed that Stardew Valley gets a quick release on Switch!
I'll probably finally pick up Binding of Isaac on Switch, I've always been interested, but never pulled the trigger yet.
It got remade in a new art style and with a better engine. It's called The Binding of Isaac : Rebirth (and costs 15$). Then, they made an expansion, called AfterBirth (around 11$) and they ended up making an expansion of the expansion, called Afterbirth + (around 11$ too). So on digital you would pay 37$ for the whole package.
Huh. I know of this and that there were expansions, but didn't know they were full on pay things. I'm assuming they add some meaty additions, then, yeah?
Also, any chance of getting screwed on this port/any reason to be worried about this maybe ending up a broken version? I wouldn't be concerned about it, but I recall that the 3DS version was apparently pretty busted or something, yeah?
Now all I need is Spelunky. Give me Spelunky Switch and I will be so happy.
Anyone play the co-op on this? Every version I played didn't have it.
"Anyone wanna come over and #playdoubles on #nintendoswitch?"

I would cry tears of joy to have a portable Spelunky. I never had, nor want, a Vita and we never got the Wii U version I prayed for. But Switch would be the perfect console for these kinds of indie games. BoI is gonna be great (As long as it isn't a shitty port.) and Spelunky, maybe another Cave Story+ and a Super Meat Boy (Though shame about the new soundtrack.) and maybe some other classics like World of Goo would be like the greatest thing ever. And I'd buy them all in physical boxes if they put them out there.
But really, all I want is Spelunky, as long as it has Daily Challenges with leaderboards. Or even without them. I don't care. Let me play Spelunky in my hands without having to boot up Windows on my laptop and connect a controller.
Given that people may be somewhat starved for games at launch, I really hope this does well for Nicalis. Not only are there tons of fans who are thrilled to pick up the updates and a physical copy, but also people who may have never heard of it and see it as 1 of 5-6 titles on a shelf and at least give it a google (and see how revered it is).
I'm really optimistic and excited for them. This was an awesome move.
This is going to sell really well among early adopters, thats for sure, this and bomberman because what else are you going to buy after Zelda? 1 2 Switch?
In all fairness they say 'first few thousand copies' which, for all we know, could just be the Day 1 or first run of the game. I'm sure they're not expecting to sell gangbusters.I wonder what the teaser about the first 1,000 copies is about. I preordered from Amazon, but something about the way distribution from half a dozen retailers works makes me think this will be a pretty random affair, despite how early someone preordered.

I wanted this so badly that I preordered it on my phone while I was driving. I couldn't wait to get home.
The one time I decide to go 100% Nintendo, they decide to release the game of the decade in physical cart form. It is a sign that I made the right decision.
Never played BoI. Is it good? should I get it? How would you guys descrive it? It looks a bit same-y on the gameplay vids I´ve seen.

It's always funny when I see lists on forums and websites stating "best game remakes!" and they never mention this game. Which, as far as I'm concerned, sits right up there with Zero Mission and Mario All Stars as one of the best remakes. It took a good, but flawed game and turned it into a masterpiece. This game is basically perfect.
- It's challenging, but fair. I hardly ever find myself thinking "this was a cheap death." 99% of the time I die because I picked up a bad item combination, I rushed myself and missed resources, I didn't dodge right, or I was just not paying attention. Ironically, in a game that's entirely randomly generated, there's very little RNG. You always feel "in control", despite random rooms, random items and random enemies. Pretty much every run is entirely possible to beat. Once you get into a "groove" and understand the mechanics, it's very easy to start a run not thinking "will I win this run" but rather "how can I maximize my resources and time to work towards unlocks"
- It's got an incredibly charming visual design. The enemies and characters are adorable. They have big eyes and heads. They smile a lot. They're all immensely charming to look at. And you don't even realize just how grotesque and disturbing the game actually is. One of the bosses is super happy, jumping around. And then you deal enough damage and his eyes pop out of their sockets. And then later you might encounter his rotting course, eyes still bleeding out. But its name is Peep and it's pretty cute. This is also a story of an abused child fighting against gross abominations, who eventually kills his own fetus and ascends to Heaven to come to peace with his mortality, or travels to Hell and literally defeats the devil and realizes he is full of sin and maybe he should be sacrificed. One of my favorite characters in the game, and the one I think is one of the cutest, is literally a dead baby. But it's never done for shock value. He's just colored blue and has silly cartoon x eyes. This isn't a game that's gross and disturbing just to shock audiences, because the game isn't really shocking and grotesque on the surface. And it never takes itself seriously. While also dealing with serious issues like child abuse and death. It's a complex game in a cute little package, which is kind of hard to explain just how well it "clicks."
- Every run is entirely different, but at the same time, all pull from the same mechanics. About half the items in the game are simple stat +/- items. One item makes you fat, giving you health, but slowing you down. One increases all your stats, then shuffles them. Quite a lot literally just raise one or two stats and do nothing else. That's not to say there isn't an absurd amount of variety (I don't believe any items overlap), but really, at its core, a ton of items are simple stat changes. The other half range from game breaking (Mom's Knife, Brimstone), to useless (Butter Bean), to run ending if you're not careful (Tiny Planet). And note I said "if you're not careful" because every item is entirely possible to beat the game with, some just require more skill to use than others. And it's kind of intimidating to have hundreds of items to remember. But... it just sort of happens. Over time you just learn what are "good" to pick up and what should be avoided. As long as you remember a few "problem" items like Tiny Planet or Cursed Eye, you can pretty much safely take anything without much fear of ending your run.
- You always make progress. The game has like a hundred hours of raw content before you unlock everything. And these things take time. It takes time to get good enough to beat the big bad final bosses with every character. Very rarely will you have a run where at least one pop up stating "such and such has appeared in the basement" doesn't appear. But the nature of the game, randomed levels and enemies every time, it ends up not really feeling tedious at all.
There's something very raw and I guess... "wholesome" to this game. It feels like the sort of game I'd play as a kid. It's always gameplay first at every stage of this game. Nothing gets in the way of the raw gameplay. To me it has a very "Nintendo" like design to it, much like most of Edmund's games (like Meat Boy, Gish, Time Fcuk).
Also buy Afterbirth because Bumbo want coin
Is this a serious question? Unless you meant release at launchIs this the first M rated game to ever launch on a Nintendo console?.
I've ordered from amazon.com instead
It's not confirmed, but I assume this is going to launch with all the current content? Including Dailies?
