There isn't. But there's a physical release in Japan and it's only ¥3,391 including shipping, which is at least what you'd pay if it was released in the US.

Much obliged. Looks like I'll have to fumble around Japanese Amazon and hope I get it ordered alright.

Ubi should port Ghost Recon Wildlands instead.

Legit gutted by this. Steep would've been perfect to bust out whenever, but the tech was probably too much to cram in there; the always online was a buzz kill though. I've been waiting for a price drop on the PC version since I wouldn't be playing it as much as if it was on the switch, so I'll just wait until Ubi does their giveaway and hands it out.

It's an online game fighting to maintain a playerbase while fortnite is demonstrably taking bites out of everybody; sounds like they're focusing on supporting what players they've got on their existing platforms, which is pretty sensible.

Monster Seeking Monster, Civic Doodle, and Fibbage Enough About You are all really good. The only downside is that Bracketeering only works with very large groups so you'll never get to play it.

Spring Man/Ribbon girl are pretty safe bets for Smash.
Nintendo loves Arms and it seems to have sold well.
They make perfect sense.

A Monster Hunter would be cool BUT there would be a million fanboys crying about how they aren't wearing MY FAVORITE ARMOR!!!!!!

Funky Kong is a sure bet, obvs even though we all know it should be Lanky.

Goku has already been confirmed.

Ameratsu assist trophy.

Issun playable character.

Dry Bones alternate for Bowser.

Agent Coulson stage.

Iron Man item that gives you a cool beard.

Another Goku for good measure.

Nintendo's in-house devs are good at compression. The Smash devs... not so much.

I heard Brawl wouldn't have had to be on a dual-layer disc if they'd eliminated the crazy amount of redundant assets.

Thank god for that. Part of the fun is seeing what leftover data is in the game.

I don't get the whole retro console rereleases. I think it would be a lot cooler of they had pack-in games in addition to being able to run actual catridges.

Using the brush touchscreen is, oddly, not that great since the game is designed around innacuracies caused by strokes with controller as well as using lots of short quick drawings in combat and returning immediately to combat which the touchscreen futzes a bit.

Its the same issue with Okamiden

I just did that 30 minutes ago, and once you find the button near the top-right that looks like a little globe and allows you to switch everything into English, the process was super-straightforward. Still feels like a steal at $32 after-shipping.

It's one of those games that ties gameplay timing to the frame rate so 60 fps busts things. PC can't even do 60fps.

in the video he says that running it at 60fps on the PC (with mods) screws with the physics and causes all kinds of potentially game-breaking bugs, so it seems like the 30fps is more related to that than any limitations on the Switch hardware. it runs at 30fps on PS4/XBone too

And Bayonetta 2 is a weird comparison, since that game's framerate swings all over the place in busy scenes.
