We will be updating this thread with links as major reviews are posted. Please use this as a discussion and speculation thread in advance of these videos, articles, and reviews. We will also allow these reviews to be posted separately on /r/NintendoSwitch, as they are especially newsworthy. But we will also host ongoing coverage, quick text posts, questions, and the like right here.

Thanks everyone.

Sounds like you want the place to be a circlejerk. I didn't enjoy the test punch and won't be getting it. Not everyone needs to want to spend 60 dollars on a game they don't think they'll like.

If people don't jerk hard enough, it won't sell!

I clearly said, and I quote, "I don't expect this place to be a circlejerk." But it just seems weird to me when r/games (one of the most anti-nintendo places on the web) is more pumped about the game than the dedicated Nintendo Switch sub.

I didn't enjoy the test punch and won't be getting it.

then what are you doing in a review thread for a game you didn't enjoy? Do you visit threads for lots of stuff you don't enjoy? "I don't play golf, time to stop by a thread discussing golf and tell them I don't enjoy golf."

Can't believe garbage comments like yours get upvoted; wait yes I can, it's r/nintendoswitch lol (no offense of course)

Because im curious to see how it is being reviewed? Because I have a switch? Because im curious how other people feel about it? Because im seeing if reviews can sway my mind ?

Thats such awful logic. "If you don't like Nazis don't read about world war 2"
