It doesn't properly show chronological release order of games going top-to-bottom. :spergin:
If you go to All Games and sort by release date, it only shows upcoming releases.
If you try to filter by availability, it starts two weeks prior, and you have to scroll DOWN to get closer to the present day. And of course, this is Nintendo, so it doesn't even show that many games; you have to hit Show More, Show More, Show More. Nintendo's online store is dogshit.

I use both. I have my account tied to my son's switch so if I'm buying him a game I do it on the web and it automatically downloads to his switch. If I'm buying me a game I do it from my Switch.

I've never had any issue with the switch eShop though, I figure because like the majority of adult users I am usually buying a game I want close to its release date so it's going to basically be at the top of the list.

I don't know what you're talking about above saying the eShop doesn't show chronological order, it always has for me

Yeah, My problem is with their online store. The Switch shop is generally fine, but it can bog down pretty hard, and some of the videos don't work properly.

They're online store I just type the name of the game I want and it takes me right to it.

But it does have a weird issue where it takes forever to load the button to actually purchase it or sometimes even says it is unavailable when it clearly is

I bet most of the people complaining about the lack of Switch games haven't even beaten Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate yet.

Again a very likpatous story
How come there's a page/preorder for everything on the eshop except Legend of Mana?

Also I saw a new Harvest Moon on the eshop and then remembered that Harvest Moon is the bad series now because of dumb name fuckery. But there is also a new Story of Seasons releasing next month apparently (the real Harvest Moon), called Pioneers of Olive Town. I probably won't get it since I haven't even gotten the FoMT remake, but it's nice that it's there I suppose. I've heard nothing about the new SoS.

I think I bought more games for the Switch than I have for the past three Nintendo consoles combined. It’s a very good console. If you want to know what a drought is you should’ve owned a wii U and nothing else in 2016.

XSeed games has various content on their site, like mechanics and bachelors, etc., and apparently some youtuber called MilkyT has been showing gameplay videos.

I absolutely adore the bizarre history of Castle Shikigami in the West. I can't get over the fact that they machine translated a script and then dubbed it verbatim. CS3 actually had a decent dub, but the silly charm of "I like girls. But now, it's about justice" is lost, for better or for worse.

Despite all that, Sisters Royale is basically Castle Shikigami 4 in mechanics, and Fumiko is DLC.

Well gently caress, I guess I have to pick it up then. I still need to replay Castle Shikigami 2 though, I forgot how brilliant some of these lines are. "My name is Ko... and I'm beatin' down evil."

So it's Mobile Light Force 3?

Speaking of which, I think Mobile Light Force 1 aka Gunbird is on there too. Gunbird 2 is the Psikyo one to get though. Or Dragon Blaze. Still waiting for Strikers 1999 standalone. I know the games had noticeable lag before, but at least trying Gunbird 2 recently, it felt pretty good.

Ikaruga is there too of course. Crimzon Clover for insanity. ESP.Ra.De came out in Japan if you want to spend a chunk. Shmright (:hmmyes:) Progear (and a few others shmups) are in one of the Capcom Arcade Stadium packs ($15 each, $40 for all 3). There's some noticeable lag though, they're aware of it at least so we'll see if anything happens.

And still a bunch more like some later Raidens I think and a bunch of indie ones but no clue which ones are solid.

Man, that's some optimistic reading of a response in that tweet. The response was clearly talking about special edition models and how they've already announced a few so there are no new announcements at this time and they take it as a coy hint about a switch pro.

Even if they WANTED to do a Switch Pro and had hardware that made it worthwhile, nothing is getting produced in current manufacturing climate.
