I'll post some comments in its own thread later, but I had no problem with that. It doesn't feel quite like a real pinball, but then again, this is an adventure game with the ball having a beetle attached to it. So I guess it's normal for it to feel off. That said, I had no problem getting Yoku where ever I wanted him to, but maybe 20 hours in Zen Pinball FX3, plus a few more in Stern Pinball Arcade, has prepared me for this game. As for West of Fear and Loathing, I heard some good things about it, despite looking as shovelware at first glance. May get it at some point, if I ever get to a point where I have nothing to play.

And in the visual novel departent, Robotic;Notes seems to be coming to Switch. It belong to the same series of games as Steins;Gate. Along with a visual novel called Memories Off: Innocent Fille. https://nintendoeverything.com/roboticsnotes-elite-seems-to-be-in-the-works-for-switch/ https://nintendoeverything.com/memories-off-innocent-fille-also-lined-up-for-switch/

They're taking the time to build in the labo stuff like people suggested. It will come with a cardboard set which let you build various diaromas of Yoshi levels. But they're build on an axis, and you can turn them around to flip the level in-game.

I'm pretty sure I already posted this trailer. It's coming out 28-06-2018 (it's already in the eShop).

There's a week left people. Get your suggestions in! I received my Streetfighter today, so I'm going to train for a week, and still be horrible at it next week! I also wonder if Fortnite could be a thing. I haven't looked at the private lobby options.

What kind of shovelware did you buy that got you just 10 gold coins?

Yup looking forward to this. The game features a level editor, you are able to customise your outfits and bikes, share those customisations and get rewards if people use them, and there is a co-op mode.. On a tandem.

A JRPG. Seems interesting, but with plenty of other games this Summer, I don't know if I have the time or money for it. Anyone going for it? I'd love to hear impressions.

Nah. Though I used it as a tie-breaker for Ike and Mark de Roos. But hey people, @Glen-i is slipping further towards the bottom. We can't have that.

With the disappointment of E3 and the general complaint of the lack of games after Summer, I decided to try to compile an updated list of the release schedule. This was undoable, as Wikipedia actually lists loads of games, but a lot of them are indie games, shovelware, or other 3rd party games I'm simply not interested in. End of the year does look empty with the list that's left, that said, there are still plenty of games without a concrete releasedate. All in all, there's still plenty (probably too much) for me to buy. Again, I left out a whole lot of games. I highlighted the ones I'm most likely to buy myself (in fact, some are already bought).

I was in a coma yesterday, otherwise I would have been up for some games. Did play some Octo expansion, enough to unlock my Octo girl. Some of those stages are just devious though.. Those ride the rails stages.. Argh. They make me want to destroy something. Overall though, I prefer these to the main single player.. Like said above, the stages are smaller and focus on a single challenge or gimmick. I love the 8-ball stages. I love the expansion (ceretain stages aside), though for Splatoon 3, I'd love an actual story-based single player. Not with number of abstract challenge arenas like we have with the main and octo single player now, but actual environments where Inklings live, with more cutscenes and dialogue, and NPC's etc.

There's going to be an E3 related sale starting the 14th.

You're kidding right? Stardew Valley, Shovel Knight, Steamworld Dig 2, Golf story, and I believe Celeste.

That.. would actually be a good thing.

Octoling amiibo, plus new stages and weapons until the end of the year. Edit:

Expansion is out tomorrow!

I think the extra soldiers are largely cosmetic, but it definitely looks awesome, giving battles a more epic feel.

It's not baffling, but definitely a huge missed opportunity.

You're missing Pokémon, pretty significant.. (regardless of how you feel about it) I;m not sure what's for October though. A lot of stuff i the summer (Dark Souls finally, despite still not having an exact releasedate), but Autumn does feel a bit empty. But I'll have to check release schedules to see what I'm missing.
