Kaze and the Wild Masks is currently on sale in the eShop for $5. I've heard it compared to the Donkey Kong Country games a lot, so fans might wanna check it out.

Kaze is a DK clone. Just as tough as DK too but rewarding.

Currently playing Kaze on Steam. Pretty sure I paid that or less from some bundle. It's good. I won't 100% it though

I was very interested in Kaze when I first heard about it, since it was described as a DKC clone. But, I remember at least a couple people here saying it didn't have the same charm and just didn't hold up nearly as well, so I keep putting off playing it.

@ErickRPG, weren't you asking about standard versions of the Psikyo collections a while back? LRG has them for preorder, albeit for PS4:

Thanks I saw that, but it has to be switch. Since the whole point is to use the little mini arcade cabinet for the switch in vertical mode. (that came with one of the vertical SHMUPS)

Cadence of Hyrule is the next game trial, starting May 1.

Nice, always wanted to try that.

Friggin love the game. Admittedly still not too far into it but it’s wonderful so far.

Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes is coming to the Switch this summer. This is one of my favorite games of all time. I've played it on my PS3, NDS, and on my Kindle Fire, but dammit, I'll buy it again.

Liked it on DS. I'll get it if there is a physical release.

Zelda SWOLED is ready for pick-up at Best Buy. Kinda forgot it was releasing today.

How much better is playing handheld on an OLED vs. v1 Switch? I'm debating whether or not to open it to use. I feel like a new Switch will be announced next year.

Most people seem to say it's a HUGE improvement. Personally, I thought it was a nice improvement, but not huge.

Really?! That's great! That game is a lot of fun. Both the multiplayer and single player. Strategy, but not in an overly complex way.

saw a ton of folks on reddit get it delivered early...mines scheduled for delivery tomorrow. can't wait!

Anyone getting Dokapon Kingdom for Switch? It's from IFFY and they definitely have a track of lower print runs. Since this game is $100+ on Wii I think I'm gonna pay the full $50 for it. It WAS $200 on Wii but the switch release probably caused a ton of people to sell theirs for the new portable version and lowered the price due to flooded market.

A new double dragon game was just announced:

I will also be purchasing this. Underrated and addicting game. I miss this franchises glory days...and NWC and 3DO in general.

Double Dragon music is classic nostalgia.

It looked like they might have done a little River City action in there (power ups) which would be cool if so. Otherwise the genre is so stale to most people.

The ironic part is a the channel Matt McMuscles had just dropped a video on the successes and many failures of the Double Dragon ip as a whole just 11 days prior: https://youtu.be/KFBgp2EZ_FQ

I’m going to punch a hole in my wall.

Looks like they did a good job with it. Especially that roundhouse kick. Will definitely add it to the collection. TMNT, Streets of Rage 4, Double Dragon, What a trio!

He’s not that far off @theJaw. Microsoft & Nintendo have been in talks of doing a partnership for cloud gaming

tbh I'm more upset that they needed ask what system in the first place lol

Yesterday someone asked at work what system is the new Zelda coming out for, I thought back to this and laughed in their face. My meeting with HR is monday

Just downloaded Cadence of Hyrule. Trial ends tomorrow. Will try it this afternoon. 100 Plat coins for trying.

Where are your voucher prebuy transactions stored? I don't see them in order history.

I thought Tears of the Kingdom would show up, as my sister's does, who used a voucher. Even if I goto the TotK eshop page, it wants me to buy it, like I don't have already own it.

I have an email that says I redeemed a voucher though.

Anyone else have this issue?

MrBean wrote:


Maybe email Nintendo with the voucher confirmation? Or wait a couple days to see if they are staggering pre-loads.

Talked to Nintendo via SMS support.

Weird. They show I only purchased 2 vouchers, but redeemed 4 games. I already got Luigi Mansions 3 + Kirby Dreamland. It shows I still have Pikmin 4 pre-ordered though, but Zelda was cancelled.

I'm 100% confident I bought 4 vouchers, but I have no proof of it it as I don't have the email, nor nintendo transaction history.

So, I guess I'm a 100% idiot.

Just bought 2 new vouchers. Let me buy TotK, went to buy Pikmin again, and it still shows pre-ordered. So who knows. I'm either getting f'd, or I may make out for the better.

Check your charge history. Should be there, no? Credit, debit orPayPal... I'd think you'd have record of payment.

I wanted to enjoy that game. It seemed different, a rhythm game based in Hyrule. But I couldn't seem to get into the game. It was fun, but just wasn't doing it for me. Maybe I'll return to it sometime, give it another try.

On a different note, I think I read something about Cadence of Hyrule being the first time an Indie studio got to officially collaborate with Nintendo.

It only took me around 20 minutes to realize that game isn't for me.



Is that not counting the crappy CD-i games, or Capcom's work with Minish Cap and Oracle Of Seasons/Ages?

PizzaTheHutt wrote:

20 minutes? That's pretty quick.

I was playing it 2P with a relative for a couple weeks, maybe even a few months, and I realized that I simply wasn't enjoying it and I didn't look forward to game time. Thankfully the other person was completely okay with moving on to another game.

The game wasn't bad. I just wasn't feeling it.

I miswrote. I think it was the first time an Indie studio got to collaborate with Nintendo (as you pointed out, Capcom did so. But they're not an Indie studio)

Gamestop has a trade in 2 for $50 towards Zelda Tears of the Kingdom, if ya got 2 game you want to dump worth $25 or less then worth it. 25% extra on this gen controller.

Which is your favorite Preorder Bonus for Zelda? I saw a spoon and fork set seem actually pretty slick being so different.

I don't understand. Any 2 games trade in for any system gets you $50 credit towards Zelda?

Is this the most bananas of any preorder bonus game ever? Seems like every two days there's a new wrinkle to it.

I like the spoon and fork. I think I would have actually pre-ordered it for those if it would have been with the US release of the game. And then I would have actually used the cutlery for food :D
