Although I agree 99% with @the_debaser Redout does indeed look to be twice as much fun as RMX. Is that fun enough, though? Probably not, but I'd love to try it out at least.

 

I keep threatening to go back and give F-Zero GX a full play through. It's been coming up to 15 years. It takes a lot out of you that game, though - you can't really play anything else at the same time. The last time I dabbled with it on my BVM in scorching 480i/RGB I felt like it needed to be 144fps... There are times when you blast down the final straight within around five to six frames of animation. It's obscenely fast.

DEMO ALERT:

 

 

Quote

The demo will have three playable levels:

  • The tutorial at the Astral Academy
  • A beautiful beach level
  • A Boss Fight against the gigantic Treasure Mantis

Some features such as getting additional spells, the skill/leveling system, as well as online co-op have been disabled in the demo but will be made available in the full game. You can, however, play this demo with up to four players in local co-op, and try out the one Joy-Con mode.

That Gear Club game is a F2P mobile game that they're charging £45 for on the Switch!! No thanks.

To be fair it doesn't include IAP's that the mobile version had, and there may be other improvements/content not present in that version either. And it looks really nice.

 

But no online multiplayer seems like a big ommision  considering that is in the mobile version.

Anyhoo, Switch eShop updates from Nintendolife:

 

Switch eShop

 

Battle Chef Brigade (Adult Swim, €19.99 / £17.99) - Developed by Trinket Games and published by Adult Swim, this has a fantastical setting that mixes up combat with match-three play. We liked this a lot in our Battle Chef Brigade review.

 

Worms W.M.D. (Team17, €29.99 / £19.99) - Worms is certainly a classic franchise, and this entry blends some modern touches with the original formula. On Switch there's plenty of content included along with some exclusive goodies, and overall it earned a solid recommendation in our Worms W.M.D. review.

 

Mantis Burn Racing (VooFoo Studios, €15.99 / £14.99) - This top-down racer has various single- and multiplayer options, including cross-platform online play; the Switch version also includes some previous DLC that's been integrated into the campaign. We'll get stuck into a review, but in the meantime you can learn more from our interview with the developer.

 

Poi: Explorer Edition (PolyKid, €39.99 / £29.99) - A game "inspired by the cheerful classics of 3D platforming", this particular edition also includes an unlockable soundtrack and digital artbook, new outfits, Joy-Con motion controls and support for HD Rumble. We rather enjoyed it in our Poi: Explorer Edition review.

 

Dead Synchronicity: Tomorrow Comes Today (Badland Games, €14.99 / £13.49) - This is a dystopian point-and-click adventure that has a fascinating art style and story, with a tale of world-ending events and a disease sweeping through humanity. This has some big fans on PC, in particular, and we'll check it out for review.

 

Uurnog Uurnlimited (Raw Fury, €14.99 / £13.49) - This has a quirky description - "Enter the wacky & whimsical world of Uurnog Uurnlimited! Explore a silly, puzzle-filled land full of cubes, bombs, weird people & adorable animals — then steal them all!". It features both single player and co-op, and in an interesting touch stages created in a level editor in the Steam version will be available to play on the Switch.

 

Crimsonland (10tons, €12.59 / £10.79 until 30th November, normally €13.99 / £11.99) - With box-art that riffs on DOOM, this is a top-down shoot-everything-in-sight game, with a big focus on being able to blast away the hordes in various ways. It promises 60 levels in the Quest Mode and multiple survival modes for up to four players in local co-op.

 

Kid Tripp (Four Horses, €3.99 / £3.59) - This auto-running platformer offers some enjoyable and challenging action, with different difficulty settings to cater to various players. We enjoyed the 3DS version in our review, and also interviewed the developer a little while back.

 

Stick It to The Man (Zoink, €11.99 / £10.99) - This is a game that fuses point-and-click sensibilities with elements of platforming, all with an absurd (and funny) script to tie it all together. Previously a thoroughly entertaining game on Wii U, our review of the Switch version will be with you later today.

 

Letter Quest Remastered (Digerati, €12.99 / £11.69) - A rather charming word game / puzzler / RPG that arrived in mid-2016; it was rather good on Wii U. The campaign has 40 stages and there's an 'endless' Challenge mode, so this should keep wordy gamers busy.

 

Transcripted (Plug In Digital, €7.99 / £6.99) - This is a rather unique match three puzzler / shoot ‘em up hybrid that looks a bit like the love child of Nano Assault and Zuma. We'll check it out for a review.

 

Red Game Without a Great Name (iFun4all, €2.99 / £2.69) - Another title from the developer that promises a significant challenge and plenty of deaths as you try to guide and teleport a bird through some tough stages.

 

Soccer Brawl (HAMSTER, €6.99 / £6.29) - The consistent roll-out of ACA titles continues in this futuristic footy game. Sure, it is soccer, but with cyborgs and a bit of arcade violence.

Well yeah, but the 90p off is what i was initially referring to

 

It's basically just a 10% discount isn't it? It's probably the lowest level that can be applied - but does get you in the 'sale' section in what might be a busy week.....

I think it's as much the selection as the discounts themselves. There's not a lot I'd be interested in on that list, although I Am Setsuna is quite a healthy discount.

 

But you can get stuff like Rayman Legends for a fiver in the equivalent Black Friday PSN sale,, along with decent discounts on other big PlayStation games too.

Not sure what kind of discounts people are expecting on games that have only been out a couple of months.

 

This race to the bottom isn’t healthy for game devs or publishers.

Gran Turismo Sport is already £25 on PSN. Much bigger discount than I expected but if you aren't going to go low during black Friday, you won't sell much
