Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

@FragRed I'm thinking 2020 at this point. Like I suggested in the Nintendo Life article comments section, this would be the perfect opportunity to port over Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE (it seems to be the most liked comment).

@Grumblevolcano I would hope if they did do a port, they would go the extra mile and do full voice acting.

@Shellcore I think I buy a game every month at most. Considering the average consumer doesn't buy more than 10 games per console, that means that for every me, there are three people that only buy one or two games in total per console.

Mega Man Legacy Collection 1 + 2 comes to Switch on May 22nd.

The catch? Both digitally ($14.99 for MMLC1/$19.99 for MMLC2) is fine.

Physical release for both combined for $39.99, with MMLC2 as a download, plus a free cloth thing.

Physical release is US only, which means in the EU, the only physical Capcom release we have is Street Fighter 2.

@YummyHappyPills The box art would be nice if it didn't have that ugly white label at the top.

Oh well. Great pricing, and it's coming soon. I'll be downloading both of them.

@Ralizah Digital pricing is in line with other releases I believe. At least we get a retail combo pack, even if half of it is downloaded.

Doesn't matter here though. No physical version, just like with the Collections on other systems. Capcom + EU = No physical

If digital wasn't a thing right now, this would be the same situation as the original Mega Man and X Collections.

I think you have too much faith in people if you think they budget their spending habits and care about subtracting sub $10 games from it. There is a good reason why households have increased their debts the last 20 years.

New Mega Man Legacy Collection trailer.

The details are in a post above.

I'm surprised they're launching that in the same month as the Street Fighter Collection.

Also that physical copy is total BS. The second collection is around 4GB and the first one is under 1GB. There's no reason they couldn't have fit both on a single cart.

@IceClimbers Unless they're using the cheapest card, is it 4GB? Or 2GB?

Bit of a shame Capcom sees no value in pushing physical releases here.

Historically they have barely bothered, with numerous games like Mega Man 6, various re-releases, Star Force 3 never being released here (Until VC anyway) and even stuff like the Battle Network games or Zero games being done by THQ and Ubisoft.

This is a trend I don't see ever subsiding. Capcom EU is notorious for this.

Worse still playing on Nintendo systems in the EU means physical releases of games ends up being down to Nintendo. Even Dark Souls is being physically released here by Nintendo, not Bandai/FromSoftware like the rest of the world.

@YummyHappyPills I hoped before the Switch released that Nintendo could rekindle the SNES days. I think they nailed it...because I imported from the US back then too!!!

@GrailUK I'm going borderline fully digital now. I already am on PS4 because discs serve no purpose on those systems.

@YummyHappyPills If Nintendo is (partly) paying for the Dark Souls port, it makes sense that they're the one publishing the game. Maybe it's a joint effort? It has happened before, one company get the publishing rights in certain territories, the other company gets the publishing rights in the rest of the territories.

But I don't see the difference, as long as they release the games over here, I don't care who the publisher is.

Capcom is just cheaping out on the game cards.

And as long as platform holders can guarantee that their online storefronts will be kept open forever, optical media still serves a purpose. Blu-rays won't last forever either, but they will outlive the PS store on PS4 for sure.

I find the "oh look another pixelated indie platformer" thing hilarious because nobody ever says "oh here's another 3rd-person action adventure 3rd-party game." I mean, come on - aside from your fps games like Battlefront and CoD, that's pretty much what the big 3rd-party games have been for the last 5 or 10 years.

Last of Us
Division
All Assassin's Creed games
All Mass Effect
All Gears
All Tomb Raider
All Lord of the Rings
All GTA
All Uncharted
MOST Resident Evil
All God of War
Shadow of Colossus
All Metal Gear
That PS4 game with the huge dog/bird companion that was meh

I mean, how big do you some of you fabricate your blinders to be? You're talking dozens and dozens of the biggest games in the last 5 years from that quick list (probably missing another dozen franchises or so), most of which have annual sequels, but we're quicker to criticize indies?

I had really hoped Nintendo would have stepped in and stopped this BS from Capcom. There should be a clause saying a complete game has to be fitted onto the card if one big enough exists. I'll definitely wait for this to go on sale if they are not going to offer a completely physical version.

@rallydefault To be fair, action-adventure can almost mean anything, even 2D platformers can be action-adventure games if they want to be one

The new DOOM update is out now and it adds motion controls.

@Grumblevolcano YES!

I'll probably nab DOOM now. Great update!

It's hard to blame 3rd party's for skimping on game cards when Nintendo themselves have set an example by doing the same with Bayonetta.

Superb news about Doom. I had no idea motion controls where being added.
