Im so glad that TES is up there, lets give Bethesda a reason to port these games!
Breath of the Wild is definitely my most played Switch game sitting pretty at over 600 hours. (Give or take a few that were either pauses of the game (I wish games would stop the time played from being counted when you have the game paused) or me passing out for a couple of minutes on those long gameplay nights.
That number is only going to grow once I start the Champion’s Ballad & collect all the chests from the first & second DLC packs. Just have to finish with FFXV. Just need to do the post-game dungeons & Episode Ignis since I’m finished with the story.
When we get a GOOD Fire Emblem on Switch I’ll pass those 600 hours of yours :P
I love Fire emblem Warriors, so many great characters and they just added Azura! She sings both songs on her special attacks 😍😍😍
That is a spin off, so if you were expecting an Awakening or Fates… you are obviously so out of context.
Haha, ohh man. I don’t know how to respond to that xD
I hope that Doom did well even though it’s not on the list
I bet they did just fine. The game got a lot of attention, and lot of my friends said they were going to by it.
Staggering performance by Stardew Valley. Deserved though.
ARMS: lack of content, not much to (re)play.
ARMS doesn’t have a lot of replayability?
Maybe if you only play against the CPU. Playing against other human players is what fighting games are all about- CPUs can’t really match the unpredictability and ingenuity of a human opponent.
For normal people nope, for hardcore fighting gamers yes. But normal people want to unlock things, buy things, alternative ways of play, etc. Exactly what’s in Splatoon 2 and it’s not in ARMS. Lately they added something to unlock but it isn’t exactly ‘big stuff’.
