So, erm...Saboteur and Saboteur 2 - the 1985 Spectrum games - are each getting a physical release on Switch next year. https://nintendoeverything.com/saboteur-getting-physical-release-on-switch-sequel-also-releasing/

It's about getting better. Find a song you like and the first time you play through it, you get a B rank, but you see the patterns in the notes so you try again. Next time you get an A rank and realise it you hadn't made that one stupid mistake you would have had a Full Combo.... And then you move up to Medium and wonder what the hell is going on.

I'm going to try something in this thread: Every week I'm going to talk about a single eshop game a bit and see if it starts any conversatiins and maybe even sell you on the game in particular. I'm not going to go for the obvious (Hollow Knight/Into The Breach), but it'll probably be something you've heard of. First up: Voez http://www.nintendo.co.uk/Games/Nintendo-Switch-download-software/VOEZ-1201380.html Price: £18.99 Metacritic: 81% https://www.metacritic.com/game/switch/voez I've spoke about Voez a little bit in here before, because it's probably in my top 3 favourite games on the Switch (Along with Breath of the Wild and Hollow Knight is you were interested). It's a rhythm action game, with a mixture of instrumental, electronica and J-Pop tunes where you tap the screen in time to falling notes. It can be played with both the touchscreen only or the Joy-cons, but I strongly recommend the touchscreen. The Joy-cons make things far too easy and we're a definite afterthought. It's a very minimalist look, both in presentation and art style, but because of that, it never gets confusing what is going on in the game. And it's not easy. On the later difficulty levels, the lanes the notes fall down on dance across the screen, prompting you to react quickly to where you need to press. Hard mode will make you want to throw your Switch through the window. Massive kudos to Rayark for their continued support of the game as well. The game started with just over 100 songs on release. They've continually released additional songs at no extra cost (11 songs were added this week, which is what prompted me to post about it now) and it now totals 185. Which works out about 10p per song. There is a demo as well for those who want to try it. If you are tempted to buy, I would wait until next week now, just in case it shows up in the Black Friday sale. But it's great. It's beautiful. And it's one of the best rhythm games on the market. And I want more people talking about it.

I bought DDMR twice. Rogue Aces isn't really my thing.

This is £74.99 in Argos with the Pokeball. Someone convince me its not worth it if I don't play Go.

Nintendo did it with Breath of the Wild and it worked for them.

Rumour is we may get some Metroid Prime 4 info at the VGAs.

I would have picked this up, but there's no way I'm paying Activision for one and a bit games on the disc.

Even if there's a scene showing Andy realising what a crap character Jar Jar is and throwing him into a roaring fire? The gang could look on in horror while listening to the cries of "Meesa melting!"

Apparently all the FFXIII dodgy quality FMV scenes in the 360 version have been replaced with 4K versions. That's...insane.

Don't. Piss. Off. Jigglypuff.

That looks far too good for what it should be.

FFXIII has been added to the store. £11.99. https://marketplace.xbox.com/en-gb/Product/FINAL-FANTASY-XIII/66acd000-77fe-1000-9115-d802535107e4?cid=search

Yep, they are.

Looks like this happened, then. Along with InXile Entertainment. Microsoft going all in on the CRPG crowd.
