ohh, I thought it wasn't planned for switch!
I just checked eShop and it's there :D
thank you for the info.

the price is in the correct range in my opinion for a remake/port (around 20$), unlike secret of mana remake (40$).
First time we get it in english. will there be a physical release?

Also if you made up your mind which games to get, buy always physical if available. eShop is horribly overpriced.
I feel you've got it backwards... Unless you buy used or get lucky with sales..

eShop gets you more gold coin (is that usefull?)
eShop can have sales, while physical games don't (depends on shops?)
eShop can be banned...
eShop can't be lent/sold

physical is cheaper, Mario kart 8 deluxe :
45€ new without any sales on amazon (physical)
60€ on eshop (and amazon redeem code is that price too)

$59.88 new for US... 50.85 used.. It depends on the type of person I guess.

i got a switch yesterday. which games do you recommend?
Have a look through the eShop, there's a bunch of great games there.
I won't mention the obvious games that everyone else has already mentioned.

Kamiko is really great, it's short but it's dirt cheap. Plays a lot like the 2D Zeldas, and has an excellent soundtrack.
Voez is good if you like rhythm games, lots of weeb music though. The team also recently released another one of their rhythm games on Switch, which might be worth a look.
Snake Pass is fun and pretty unique. Sort of a puzzle platformer with interesting gameplay.
Snipperclips if you like casual puzzle games, it has coop with up to 4 players. Pretty unique concept. Gets pretty tricky after a while.
Fast RMX, it's an F-Zero clone and a pretty good one at that. A lot of content for the money.

I think that's about all of them that haven't been mentioned many times already, but if I remember any more I'll add them.

Fast RMX is far from an F Zero clone. Feels nothing like it. Closer to Wipeout..

I never played Wipeout but to me it feels a lot like a F-Zero game with extra mechanics. I have heard that comparison before though, F-Zero is just the only thing I can personally compare it to.
Fair enough. I do wish we'd get an official F Zero game. Rawr..

So anyone have shantae Half genie hero?

The one on Wii U is pretty good, but the Switch version has more levels (I think). Get it if you like Platformers.

eShop gets you more gold coin (is that usefull?)

Slowly, there are more "useful" additions coming to My Nintendo (like actual games), but it'll never be Club Nintendo....until we get physical items.

eShop can have sales, while physical games don't (depends on shops?)
Definitely depends, but I've recently seen Sonic Forces drop to $30.00 at most retail shops. There are a few other physical titles released in the past few months that have cratered to epic lows.

Mario Odyssey is the only real reason to get a Switch right now.
Disagree. If you want homebrew/potential piracy then picking up a switch right now with 3.0.0 or below is still worth it especially if you already have a Wii U/a decent PC to emulate the games.

first i want Pokken DX ....but physical because in German eshop i have to spend 59.99 Euro and Retail 55.99Euro
It's 45 bucks physical on various sites. Just like with the Wii U version there's plenty of people that didn't do any research on the game, bought it and got disappointed because it wasn't what they wanted which also means you can get it even cheaper than that on ebay if you don't mind a used copy.

Don't get me wrong. That's what I did. I was just saying that Mario Odyssey would be the only game worth getting a Switch for if the intention is to play Switch-exclusive games.
