Any new players who want to add some friends to compare scores with, I'm 4331-3123-1872

I will have to dust it off and give the new content a try.

Thinking of picking it up for half off. But I still haven't completed the demo yet.

Wow, I absolutely love the 2D-HD look! I agree the sprites could be nicer, but I'm not offended by them. I really like the visual style.

Seems like a mix of Dragon Age Origins(each class had a different intro story) and the the main game picks up and it sort of comes together similarly.

One question about how Demo's work on the Switch. Is it a timed demo or a locked based on an amount of plays? I found many of the demos on the 3DS are locked by a certain amount of plays and that always seemed odd to me as most demos i've ever played were just of the first few levels.

It is locked based on areas of map and story. So there are areas where it says you can't go there in the demo.

I tried the dancer and couldn't go through with playing her demo story. I just was not interested. We will see if the story improves in the final game.

Hope so.

I may try to get one at Toys R Us. We will see how long the line is if I get there an hour before opening.

Right. I guess if there is are angry villagers outside with pitchforks you could always come back later.

Wow, this snuck up on me. This month is flying! I can't wait to get my mitts on this thing.

Review when it does?

Will, check this: https://twitter.com/Wario64/status/911785945464061952

Awesome. Hopefully I will be able the snag one.

TechCrunch initial impression https://techcrunch.com/2017/09/22/i-have-an-snes-classic-edition-and-it-rules/

I haven't played all of the first expansion, but I completed the story of the main game and have done some endgame content. GW2 is the most satisfying MMO I've ever played, and my wife and I still dive back into it occasionally.

I love that they make their server upkeep money with cosmetic microtransactions, so there's no monthly subscription. I feel like I can enjoy it the way I want. With a subscription I feel like I have to play it a certain amount every month to get my money's worth. It's the free-to-play model but you have to buy the game first (their actual free-to-play version is limited) and there aren't any pay-to-win items. A few convenience items, nothing at all gamebreaking. It's the perfect MMO model I think.

But this expansion totally missed my radar, I had no idea it was coming! A rogue god? Mounts!? I'm stoked!

It's one of the best i've played too. I had an incredible amount of fun with Lord of the Rings Online when some friends and I played that a couple years back. GW2 is up there, hard to say which I liked more. One thing that keeps me thinking it might be LoTRO is that you could kill bears get the pelts and make armor. Something about that crafting system and the trees in that game really made me happy. Not my wife though, whenever I killed a bear she got pretty upset even though I told her I used the pelts to make armor! No digital eWaste.

Me too. I don't mind paying for games but I do mind a monthly sub because it sort of feels like an obligation and if I don't play it "enough" I am really wasting money.

I know you've been all over the Diablo III Necro content but do you think you might get this expansion? There is a cart bundle where you can this expansion AND the other one together. That seems like a lot of GW2 to play.

Yeah Katie and I got it. Don't know when we will get back into it but we will. It's a game that we seem to play for about two months a year and that's great. When it gets old we put it away for a while.

That's a good cycle with games. I do the same and the games stay fresh when I come back later to play it.

I hope this is good! I really want VR to be a legitimate thing!

I am waiting for Fallout 4 VR and Doom VFR

I'm waiting for the Oasis :P

Sad to see the game close up development but glad it's going to stay on for others to play. I knew the game wasn't something I was interested when I got a key for it and never redeemed it.

Wow. Really nice I was part of that by way of getting some great games and some of that went to charity. One such game I still play now I got in a bundle was FTL and that turned out really well.

What's the game you got from a bundle you played the most Travis?

I can't remember if I got Terraria from a bundle. If so, that one. If not, Mass Effect 2 from the Origin bundle takes that title.

OK I just checked. I *did* get Terraria from a bundle but I already had it by that point, so I don't guess I count that.

Right, I saw that Terraria bundle and I skipped it because I already had the game from a prior Steam sale where I bought it for something crazy like $5.

I think I got it for the other games, plus I never mind having an extra copy of Terraria. I've given that game to like 5 people at this point. Gotta spread the love!

It was nice to see some more AAA 3rd party support. There was also some more EA sports announcements. It feels like Nintendo has 1st party and indie down, they just need AAA 3rd party to really show up. So far it looks promising.

Here is a video of how well Doom runs on the Switch. It looks solid.

We shall see how it runs on TV.

It seems like it will run on the TV at 720p which should be pretty good but not quite what you’d get on the PS4.

And thanks again for that tip! I think I got my preorder in literally seconds before they were out of stock.

Yeah man, I was glad you got one.

I better get a SNES classic. I have a few trackers that I am monitoring.

Most important question: How long are the controller cords?

I think 5 feet this time around.

Oh good. In a moment of weakness, I did attempt to pre-order an SNES Classic from ThinkGeek, but the site timed-out on me when I tried to submit the order. It's good to know that I may have another chance to fail my will save.

I almost got it from a Think Geek bundle too but couldn't because of the demand. Kind of glad that didn't work out, it was expensive and I didn't want that other stuff.

Well.. I tried to get one on Think Geek. The site was crushed immediately.

Cool review. I have it installed, but haven't tried it out yet. I haven't played Shovel Knight either.

You should give them a go. They are awesome.

I never beat Shovel Knight. I'm adding it back to my games to play based on your reviews. And because I had so much fun playing Mega Man 2.

I would say Plague Knight is my favorite, followed by Shovel and then Specter. Plague Knight is best played after Shovel though as there are some cool subtle story points of things that happened in Shovel Knight.

Cool, i'll make sure I check them out in order then. The new King Knight game looks interesting. I wonder if that card game will be fun? I guess if it's not there is plenty to like in the base game still

I think I get that with Treasure Trove, right? If so I will have to review it when it comes out.

Yep. Treasure Trove means you get all the content updates included.

Do you won the NES port? A speed run of the first level could be fun.

I don't have the NES port but a speedrun would be a good idea. I'll see what I can find.

You're a lucky Classic NES owner! I remember playing Mega Man on the Gameboy when I was much younger. I had friends that had the other games on console, so I got to see and play some of those, too. I do have the MM Collection on Steam, but I haven't played it much. You also reminded me of the Sega Mega Collection I have on Steam, too. I started playing Sonic, I've played it and others before, but I'm really grateful for those save features! The graphical upgrades are nice, too.

Yeah, it was fortunate I got one. That said I e been actively looking for some time.
