Didn't even know this game was coming out

 

[lt519]

Awesome, I love this teams output. I'm drowning in games so I'll get it when I'm done with Mario + Rabbids and SMO.

 

[Nicko]

Oh my GOSH!!! Incredible!!!!! Absolutely can't wait for this!!

 

[Imp the Dimp]

What's the price for the eShop version?

 

[OneLessIcon]

I thought I owned the first game in some capacity, but a quick check through xb/ps/steam/gog shows that I don't. I think it was free on PSN once but I haven't been a plus subscriber for a long time now. It would be nice (for me) to see it show up on GwG, I've heard good things about it but it's just not high on my priority list. Glad to hear the second game is well-reviewed too, someday I'll probably grab it as a bundle.

What's the price for the eShop version?

$19.99 / €19.99 / £14.99

 

[ryushe]

Well damn.

 

[phanphare]

damn, this is getting great reviews

might have to check it out

 

[Dipship31]

Somebody mentioned on page 1 they got a 13 hour flight for this. I've got a 10-hour to London this Saturday night and this was my plan for that flight, but now even more excited seeing these reviews!

 

[Silver_DNA]

I'm finally getting around to playing Heist and will dig in to this sequel as soon as I can. I plowed through the first dig game and loved it to bits. Who knew a game about digging would be such fertile soil?

Your flight is going to fly by in more ways than one.

When do Switch eshop titles release, btw?

I'd bet this is a midnight release, just like Overcooked and Sonic Mania, etc.

 

[Vital Tundra]

There are too many games to play this year... Its ridiculous.

 

[ryushe]

Yo, year one Switch is absolutely ridiculous.

 

[Makonero]

I just CANNOT wait for this. One of my most anticipated Switch games.

 

[metsallica]

I had no doubt. Image & Form has yet to release a bad game, even Steamworld Tower Defense was solid. I'll be getting this on Switch immediately, but are there any version differences to be aware of? I know it's basically launching everywhere within a week; I assume PC would be the best non-portable version to pick up. I'd like at least one "secondary" version but have all platforms available to me.

$19.99 / €19.99 / £14.99

Excellent, thanks

Just watched the video review and you think there's a "top 10 video game moment?"

Damn

 

[Jonneh3003]

Damn

Absolutely and if someone doesn't make a thread about it by next week then I will It's incredible.

Whatever the moment is, please don't spoil it in the thread title itself.

 

[Jonneh3003]

REMEMBER THE PART IN STEAMWORLD DIG 2 WHEN-
I'll be careful haha

 

[Reckheim]

Can't wait! perfect timing for me too with a company fishing trip coming up.

 

[Zemm]

Downloading this and Thimbleweed tomorrow!

 

[phanphare]

Yo, year one Switch is absolutely ridiculous.

I legit can't think of a better opening 9 months for a gaming platform, shit's been wild

 

[Plum]

Gonna post the OT in about an hour (got a few more things to add). I'll keep updating the thread but if there's a review out and not in here feel free to PM me and I'll put it in when I can.

 

[Lettuce]

What else is this on, Is this a Switch exclusive?

 

[Mr.Fletcher]

I really enjoyed the original and this looks even better. Chuffed to see it getting good reviews. I wish I had more money.

 

[Fredrik]

Oh wow great scores! I loved the first game so this is a definite purchase for me.

 

[Plum]

What else is this on, Is this a Switch exclusive?

It's a timed exclusive for one day. Steam, PS4 and Vita (with crossbuy for the other two). The Steam version comes out on the 22nd and the PS4/Vita versions a few days later.

 

[Fredrik]

What else is this on, Is this a Switch exclusive?

I think it's everywhere, might have system specific exclusive features though, as the HD rumble mentioned in the OP.

 

[Mr. F]

Any indication of this going up midnight EST?

 

[kizmah]

Downloading this and Thimbleweed tomorrow!

Same here. Switch is on fire right now. And both FIFA18 and Mario Odyssey are just around the corner. The year one this console is having!

 

[sense]

Can't wait for vita especially since it is crossbuy with PS4

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Downloading this and Thimbleweed tomorrow!

Yup yup yup yup yup

And Picross next week. WTF man, I can't stop buying things on this system.

 

[ZedLeppelin006]

I'm heavily leaning towards getting this as I haven't really used my Switch much since MK8 deluxe and would love to play something like this in the go since Snakepass and Shantae didn't really vibe with me.

Hopefully it's under $30 cad.

 

[Fireblend]

Yup yup yup yup yup

And Picross next week. WTF man, I can't stop buying things on this system.

I'm almost worried about Golf Story and Stardew Valley coming out too soon now

 

[Zarovitch]

Yup yup yup yup yup

And Picross next week. WTF man, I can't stop buying things on this system.

Cause there's no games.

 

[Meffer]

I really loved the first one and I'm happy to see this improved from the first in every way.

 

[nubbe]

Switch has too many games

 

[phanphare]

I'm almost worried about Golf Story and Stardew Valley coming out too soon now

next Thursday is our last hope for Golf Story in September

 

[Plinko]

Amazing. Buying it instantly tomorrow on Switch.

 

[The Hermit]

I expected to be good, but holy shit

 

[BADMAN]

2017 keeps giving

 

[vareon]

Okay this sounds too good to skip.

 

[Imp the Dimp]

Wait is it unlocking in 4:40h in the EU eShop?

If you like Metroid you'll like this. You dig down while getting powerups and abilities to progress past obstacles and dig faster and get new ways to dig. Materials you find gives you money to purchase upgrades to be stronger, have duration for things last longer and take up less resources (steam). The first one was fantastic and the sense of power you got towards the end of the game was nothing but satisfying. And the digging was also fun. Making your own path and having to consider how that affects your movement going back to your base and moving forward is engaging (don't worry, there are checkpoints you can make and hard checkpoints to warp back and forth).
This game takes everything about the first game, fixes some issues and makes everything better.

 

[Plum]

I'm not sure. There's no official info out there on when this is getting put onto the eShop. We'll just have to wait and see if it's a midnight-relative-to-time-zone release or a set-time release.

 

[Jonneh3003]

Wait is it unlocking in 4:40h in the EU eShop?

I'm pretty sure it is.

 

[nubbe]

EU eShop release time is a dice roll

 

[Confused Cheeseburger]

Is SD2 out anywhere right now?
