That joystick is missing a holder for the Switch so you can play your makeshift arcade cab.

Wasteland 2 announced for Switch next month!

Also, I know you can upgrade to Sonic Mania PLUS digitally for $5, but I've seen pics of the packaging and artbook of the physical edition and ugh. I'm tempted. Much like the Shining Resonance release, it seems like Sega's really putting in an effort to make their physical Switch games stand out.

Did we already know that a port of the first Valkyria Chonicles was coming to Switch in Japan later this year?

Wasteland 2 on Switch means I might actually play it.

No!!! Why isn't this coming to the West!? I'd triple dip for a portable version.

Same.

Nintendo UK store has a pre-order up for Monster Hunter: Generations Ultimate that includes a bonus monster figure:





Hope we get something similar in the US.

reviews of Octopath are (overall) positive. I must admit that I love the visuals. I might have to plan to get it sooner than originally planned. Maybe jump into it once I'm done w/ Shining Resonance.

I'm really enjoying Octopath so far. I don't mind that there isn't an over arching plot or the grinding (the main criticisms people seem to have). The gameplay just has so much charm and the characters, battle system and presentation are all fantastic.

from NintendoLife:

Arc System Works has revealed that Psikyo Collection Vol. 1 is heading to Nintendo Switch, squeezing four currently available eShop titles into one juicy bundle.

The four titles included are Strikers 1945, SOL Divide, Samurai Aces, and Gunbird, all of which are classic, arcade-style scrolling shooters. All four games were originally released in the '90s, each with their own slight twists and different sets of playable characters. We have reviews available for each one of these games if you'd like to know more (just click on the links above to find them) and we've included some artwork for each title below, too.

Just those four is kind of a cash grab, I think. Put in the rest of the Psikyo games on eShop on the same cartridge while at it (Strikers 1945 II, Dragon Blaze, Gunbird 2, Zero Gunner-) and then I'd be interested.
