I have never clicked with any crafting game- and must have played SV for like an hour but didnt think it was anything special. But its tempting to try it again on switch because it does seem a better platform match than my pc. Wish it had a demo...

We are destined to not play this game.
Or just have to get off our arse and buy eshop cards from a store...
i bought volgarr instead.

I think I sunk way too many hours into this to dip again on switch but it deserves all the moneys. Fantastic game and it couldn't come from a more real and down to earth and awesome developer.

I was wondering what exactly the eShop charts meant. Interesting!
I could see them having synergy with eachother, since collectively they are still way cheaper than a AAA retail game, and both have the sprite based, genre throwback appeal.
Not everyone's into farming simulation...
That being said, with these numbers, a new game by Epics & Marvelous AQL can't come soon enough, it'd sell like hot cakes.

Congrats on the success. Indies making a killing on Switch rn.

So I got this yesterday and now my fiance won't stop playing it... I might need to get another Switch! Has Nintendo said anything about transferring saves between Switches yet?

I've already played it twice and I don't feel like doing the grind of day to day a third time. If he ever did a no timer mode I'd get it again.
pretty done

eh? This isn't Super Mario Odyssey we're talking about.

No thanks, not interested.
I try not to rebuy games on platforms I already own, and I don't take the Switch out of the house much. I am still tempted just because playing Switch games in bed is great.

and they're all better games too
I'm pretty sure there is a mod like that.

My only gripe is that I couldn't name my farm: Wiz Khalifa's Weed Farm
I must disclose that I've only spent 4 hours in the game trying to name a good farm and favorite thing.

On the switch? Doubt it.

I know, right?
Still have golf story and rabbids to work on. Mario is coming up.
But good on them getting sales.
And it's great that switch owners can skip games because there's a lot of options. I'm thinking of skipping Xenoblade because there's too much.
Pick it up in the new year when releases slow down.

After about ~5 hours yesterday, I can say I definitely enjoy Stardew. I don't like if nearly as well as Story of Seasons, though. But I can see it holding me over until the real thing comes out.
I tried playing it and was overwhelmed. I will keep at it but damn.
That's actually nice so let's hope for a translation down the line, like the other languages got.
Still easier to understand than Golf Story lol
Mentioned it in another thread but these indie games are perfect for the portable aspect of the switch in the sense that they're pretty much the evolution of the games I would have bought for the GBA or DS family.
People were wondering when those types of games would start to transition from 3DS to Switch. I argue that they're already here. They're just coming from all over the world now (as opposed to just Japan) and we now call them Nindies.

The best thing this thread did is made me check out nexus mods for quality of life improvement mods for the pc version and shit baby maybe I'll reinstall it to play it with these mods.
I mean:
-better sprites
-better portraits
-better farming/automation mods
-location of npcs
-item spawner
-save editor
-time of day mod where you could make it go super slow
Ive already played the game properly twice, now I want to be an anime character who becomes a badass the day he arrives lol

Yup, I've been predicting for a while that the less than AAA market (AA, Single A?) market that has existed on handhelds had kind of just morphed into the Indie scene, so this makes perfect sense. The scaled down approach is what some of the big boys are even doing, making for some experimental and intriguing (but probably cheaper to produce) games like Octopath Traveler.

Explain to me why. From the screens it looks like animal crossing, I hate that sort of shit with a passion.
I'm happy to be wrong but what is so good about this game?

The top 3 are the games I'm playing in order. Finished SW2 which is awesome.
Enjoying Golf Story, and already bought Stardew as I'm happy to give it a shot at that price.
I think it's just a really good match for the Switch.
I mean, I know it's basically cliche at this point to say "would be perfect on Switch!" for literally any and every game, but with something like this it is true. Slow paced, chilled out, perfect for playing while doing other stuff.

I know this sample is too small to be statistically significant... but, out of my 11 Switch friends, four have bought Stardew already. It came out 18 hours ago

It's more like a very refined Harvest Moon, but it has some Animal Crossing in it (mostly around filling catalogs and a museum). It also has some combat and dungeon crawling elements.
It's a chill game that lets you do whatever you want with it. There's no pressure to do anything at any specific time (no end date or missables like Harvest Moon), and it's got one of the most relaxing soundtracks behind it, so just wandering around picking wild berries just sort of lulls your brain into a good place.
The game is also extremely LGBT friendly and handles marriage very well.

Well deserved. Game's a perfect fit on the switch, then again almost every game is.

I definitely plan on picking this up once I finish Zelda, which will likely be no time soon lol

Golf Story had a good run 
Jk I'm sure it sold VERY well and will continue to sell. I've really enjoyed it.

Anything that requires a dpad is certainly not perfect for Switch.
But Stardew definitely is. How do I move these rocks out of my yard btw
