You are a snake
You slither through levels
You collect stuff
It's godly
Those are my impressions from a vid I saw a month ago, I'm buying it at 1 EST
It's a good game. I love the novel platforming mechanics. It was satisfying to feel my improvement both in picking out better routes across obstacles and my ability to precisely control Noodle in order to actually traverse them.
I did find the handheld resolution to be a problem when searching for collectables. With extended periods of carefully scrutinising each scene the blurriness caused me eye strain and a headache. I would suggest only hunting for them while playing docked. Handheld mode has been ok when just rushing through levels, as I've been doing with the recent time trial patch, and their bitesized length makes them well suited for portable play.

Oh really, what is it. I could Google but I'm in here now
We don't know yet, the teaser on the trailer looks like new objects to collect.

£9.59.
Slow camera was literally my only big issue and seeing it fix feels lovely.

Anything else on sale? If they put Lego City on sale, i'd consider picking it up.

Hm I am tempted but that handheld resolution stuff doesn't sound good at all.

I mean reading what everyone's saying it sounds good now.
The press release says that the trailer hints at the upcoming DLC. Do any of you current Snake Pass players see anything that might allude to what's on the way?
Every now and then some people in the B/S/T thread will have a surplus that they're off-loading at small discounts from 5-10% but I haven't seen them lately. And at 5% it's hardly worth it. You could walk outside and find in quarters what you'd save that way.

I hated this game at first but the hardest parts were the first few hours. The controls and wonky camera take getting used to but once everything clicks the game is really great and honestly not that hard later on. Switch version was great thought it did suffer from slowdown however I got 100% before the latest patch which improves framerate and heavily speeds up the camera so it's even a better buy now.
Definitely recommended, but be warned it's a pretty tough game.
Depends if you try to go for 100% and the newly added TT's. My Switch profile currently says I have 10 hours or more played.

It can vary depending on your skill at traversing the levels and if you got all collectibles for 100%. If you just go for the main collectibles it's 7-8 hours but if you got for 100% it can add a couple more hours to it.
Wait...this for EU as well?
Thanks. That's fine then, I'll buy it once I'm done with Zelda.
Where ?
Is it? I went to the Nintendo sales and deals page on their site and didn't see anything about Bomberman.
I did, however, see that 3D Sonic 1 and 2 are on sale for 3DS for $3, so I grabbed Sonic 2, so thanks for that I guess. =P

What regions? And when? That's the sale I've been waiting for to be honest. EDIT: Ah I see above.
Damn, I'm about to buy 3 more games (GEM too) and it's not even month 4 yet. I think that's a total of 13 for me now.

3 levels in, all 100%, I'm liking this game but it is fucking tense! Don't let the cute characters and music fool you. I'm feeling for my JoyCon controllers, I'm pressing them like I'm holding for dear life from them lol
The quick shot of the snake (Noodle) collecting the strawberry at the end is new, you don't collect fruit in the current game.
I didn't realize they had DLC planned, now I'm excited.
It's an official account, so maybe they jumped the gun a bit too early.
30 bucks for Bomberman is tempting...

Hmmm hoping that sale comes to the NA shop too. Since the Switch is region free it wouldn't make sense if it didn't, right?
A tip: Don't frustrate yourself over getting all coins and wisps early on, you'll get way better by the end of the game and coming back to get them will be much easier. Also, you unlock an ability after beating the game that shows you where they are.
The unfortunate thing is when coming back you do have to finish the level for them to count as collected, but you'll have mastered the snake skills at that point so you'll be able to blow through the earlier levels.

As much as I'm looking for content, buying an inferior version of the game on Switch seems like a waste of money... Will get it on PS4 at some point...

AFAIK you actually need a Switch to be able to buy anything, even from the website
