Digital only, to my knowledge. And, yes, it is awesome. I have a few minor gripes, but I played it compulsively until I had accomplished every goal. It plays, somewhat, like a cross between 1001 Spikes, N+, and Portal, and it is really, really tough. It’s probably the best precision-platformer I’ve played since Electronic Super Joy.

I got my JoyCons back from being serviced by Nintendo. I've only briefly tested them but the drift appears gone and the left stick can fully register the Up position again. I think they may have replaced the sticks and the outer shells. Either that or they outright replaced the whole thing. The sticks and the shells are just too nice to have been only cleaned.

I'd definitely recommend the service if you can be without your JoyCons for a few weeks.

There is a new Hyrule Warriors game coming out on Nov 20th. And it is a prequel to BotW! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uDMWRRAEogs

As someone that loved both Hyrule Warriors and BotW, I'm very much looking forward to this.

Well that came out of nowhere! But damn, it looks so good... I was a big fan of the first Hyrule Warriors game (and I didn't think I would be), but this looks so much better!

Age of Calamity may be the second new game I buy this year (if you count the Mario 3D Collection as "new" :lol: ). FE: Warriors was pretty underwhelming, but I'm hoping they can nail another game closer to Hyrule Warriors with this one. I'm certainly not pre-ordering this one like I did with FE: Warriors though. I won't make that mistake twice XP

I am waiting on the coop rundown. So far they have said pass the joycon. Which is great for portability, but not what i am looking for in coop (camera controls on second stick make Musou games alot more enjoyable). Or you know online coop.

I am 3/4 of the way through the first Act of Witcher 3 on the switch. Yes the graphics take a hit while traveling and no its not super pretty, but it is still all of Witcher 3, on a handheld. And despite owning a more than capable gaming pc, the only thing I feel like I am missing is QOL mods (like auto pickup ingredients as you walk over them). I have put in almost as much time in it on the switch in a week, than I did to beat Witcher 2 in three months because I can play it on the couch and in small bursts.

It does provide me with a much worse issue. I am a big fan of fantasy wargaming, and Witcher is prime for under represented architecture in that world. Most wargaming is done in English, French, or Italian style. And the more I play the more I want to get the foamcutter out.
