“The Nintendo Switch owned 2017” is a sentence no one actually expected to write by the end of the year, but credit to Nintendo for pulling off one of the best stories of the past 12 months and releasing the hottest product in the process. Question is, can they take what they’ve learnt and continue that good form into 2018?
VGChartz's Evan Norris: "Felix the Cat won't catapult the cartoon feline to stardom once again, but it should shine a light on an underplayed, underappreciated licensed game from the waning days of NES. With inventive transformations, diverse levels, and charm to spare, it's one of the better platformers on a system defined by them. It's just a shame this modern release doesn't do more to contextualize, enhance, and celebrate it."
Star Drifters has just launched a playtest for First Dwarf on Steam, ahead of the official launch later this year for PC and consoles.
Over the last 25 years, there has been a fair few South Park games, and here GameSpew has ranked them all from best to worst.
I still don’t believe Switch owned 2017, it was clearly PS4 that did.
The NS just proved to be a massive success for Nintendo
I think the Wii U ports are fine as long as it's balanced between new games. A lot of Switch owners never owned a Wii U so it's nice to be able to play some of those great Wii U games. I never played Bayonetta 2 and I wouldn't have bothered with the 3rd game if the second game wasn't getting ported to the Switch.
Also I think Nintendo did greatly improve Switch inventory for the holidays. I've seen them around in-store and online. Certainly nothing like how it was at launch and a few months after where you had to track one down.
More indie support would be good for Nintendo. Keep the online store updated while the small indie devs build experience on the Switch hardware.
Cloud saves. Ability to message my friends on the console.
I'd buy the living crap out of some aluminum elite joycons with a D-pad.
