Left out Fire Emblem Warriors and The Lego Ninjago Movie Video Game due to their AAA nature, let's keep this about eShop only games!
 
There's four or five games on that list I'm interested in, but honestly, my Switch backlog is so large at this point that I think I'm going to take an eShop break until next month at the earliest.

I'm most interested in Rogue Trooper Redux, Spelunker Party (loved the demo) and Elliot Quest though. I actually bought Elliot Quest on Wii U but never got around to playing it lol

I'm interested in all of the co-op games listed but not sold on any of them. I'll wait for impressions before making any purchases this week.

Huh. I don't think a game description ever caused me actual physical pain before. That's new.

Too many good games over the past few weeks. Elliott Quest looks like old school Kid Icarus so I'm drawn to that. I have no idea if it actually is like it though, so there's that.

Several of those look like something I'll buy down the road but I just dont have time for any additional games right now.

Don't think I'll be picking up any. Just waiting for SMO, and I'm grabbing GT Sport tomorrow. Not even sure how I'm going to have time for those since I just started playing Persona 5 again. :p I feel like the Switch is getting too many indies, even though that's a weird thing to say. More is usually better, but I can't even keep them all straight in my head.
 
Jackbox 4!

I own 1-3 on PS4, but Switch makes the most sense going forward.

Really excited, although a shame they wasted a spot on a THIRD Fibbage. Guesspionage 2 or Bidiots 2 would have been a better choice imo.
 
Revenant Saga is the only one I am interested in, but I will probably pass for now. Far too many games coming in the next 2 months for Switch/PS4 that I am already buying so I will probably hold off from adding anything to that list for now.
 
Sure is a busy time. I just put 25 hours into Fire Emblem Warriors and getting ready for Odyssey. Then Skyrim, LA Noire and Doom within a week of each other...then Sonic Forces and RiME a week after.
 
is syberia just the first game that was released back in 2002? if so, 27 pounds is a crazy price.

I think thats a by product of it being a retail release, releasing for less than that is difficult at retail due to cartridge costs and so far only axiom verge seems to have had the balls to release at a lower price digital than reatail (without chucking in goodies)

Oh wow, Syberia. I loved that game, 15 years ago. That price works out to be 40 dollars Canadian. That's insane that they're charging that much.
