Wow, basically no cheaper than the UK then. Anyone know how much it is on the Norwegian store?
Thanks

Is it fun if I only play with one other player? I can see my wife digging this game but my friends probably won't.
Yes. Two players might be optimal, even.
Took a chance and yeah, the performance is awful. The intro level is terrible while the first level's framerate is improved but still poor. There's an uneven jerkiness to it that could be a frame pacing issue in addition to an uneven framerate. I'm definitely recommend holding off on this to see if it gets patched.
Yikes.

Yeah... yikes, the performance is roooooough. And I can usually stomach rough performance, but for a game like this... hoooooooo.

Unity, I believe.
Disappointed the performance is looking poor. Was going to day 1 this. I guess I'll see what shakes out.
Seems like it will take a patch before I'm getting this. Love the game on PC.

Its 30fps on PS4

Same here, and it seems that it's not cheaper in South Africa this time either =(.

Thanks for the heads up, gonna wait for a patch then.
Ah, blessed Unity.
Is it? I only played the intro level when it came out and don't remember.
If PS4 was 30FPS, are people saying the Switch version is less than 30FPS?

I would absolutely buy this, but the reports of a bad framerate holds me back. I don't really care about graphics that much but the framerate is very important to me.

I've only played the intro level + the first level, and to me it seemed to vary between 20-25fps in the intro, and about 25 on the first level (which had less going on).
Not awful, but definitely not a solid 30.
Yikes. Hopefully they will patch it. I don't want my $20 go to waste.

That's too bad. My wife seemed interested in this and I was going to pick it up. Guess I'll wait to see if any patches arrive. 
Still haven't updated for overcooked but you might want to favorite this site

Is there anyway to show UK prices?

That performance is disappointing. This game is kind of perfect for the Switch but I'll hold back for now, then.

I've played it on both PC and PS4 Pro before, and there's some frame-pacing issues or something there as well. Especially noticable when driving the car on the stage-select map.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
I'm gonna wait for more impressions. Not that I don't doubt the fps issue, but I'd like to hear more sources comment on this.
That's disappointing. But thanks for the impressions.

Played an hour of this in two player. It's great! Did up to level 2-2 in tabletop mode.
The level designs are very strong, you feel like you're thrown in at the deep end very early on which is good, forces you to adapt all the time. It does seem like some of the requirements for 3 star ratings seem like they'd be more achievable in four player but I like how a very well co-ordinated group of two can attain some of them.
As for those asking about performance: In handheld/tabletop mode at least it was certainly playable, I'd say it's solid.
Yeah, the framerate fluctuates sometimes but it's not something either of us noticed in actual gameplay. Might be because character movement itself is floaty.

Yeah as I suspected, the performance issues are being massively overstated.
If you mean can you use one joycon for each player, then yes. If you mean can you play with four players using two joycons, then obviously not...
One joycon each is all that's required.
Performance is quite ok in docked mode IMO. The game is more about shouting at your co-players than about framerate.

My wife and I love this game.
I see it on my future with 4 player madness.

Thanks, but that also doesn't have the UK
ok, last try https://eshop.calyh.re/ , it's the other one that's going around

Yup. It's nothing unacceptable, didn't notice any input lag preventing us from placing dishes or ingredients in the wrong places at the right time, and while the framerate wasn't 100% locked at 30fps neither of us mentioned the framerate or felt like it impacted our game.
It's not perfect but it's certainly not an issue, at least in tabletop/handheld mode. For a game that already has intentionally floaty/imprecise controls I certainly didn't feel like anything was off. Going to try docked mode tomorrow.
You have to clean them while they are in the sink. Hit the action button after you put the plates in the sink.
You can put all of the dishes in the sink and clean them all at the same time which is nice, they will just stack up next to the sink as you finish them.
I think I might get this, my wife and I had a blast with it on PS4, might be up for a double dip.
