Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

Capcom say they want to bring more of their past games on to the Switch, including those previously not featured on Nintendo systems before...

Incoming Resident Evil 5 and 6. I could go with that!

Gimme Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3

It's super exciting to see these publishers pledging support like they've been doing recently. I can't wait to play something like Outlast on the same console that gave me Mario Odyssey

Resident Evil Outbreak HD with full local and online multiplayer support would be amazing. Don't expect it to happen, but I'd be pretty thrilled.

Other than that and 7, all of the RE games I want on Switch have been on previous Nintendo consoles. REmake, 0, Code Veronica, and RE4 would all be fantastic additions to the system.

I hope this means the Switch will also get the eventual RE2 remake.

In the meantime, a re-release of 5/6 in a cundle (throw in 4, too!) would be amazing to have on the go

I thought 5 and 6 were the games not meant to be spoken of, why does everyone want a port of those?

Yooka-Laylee downloading now...

@Octane I was never of the opinion that they were terrible games in general. I actually found them to be quite fun just for co-op when they released. It is strange, though, to see more and more people clamoring for a rerelease. Which is great! They sucked at survival horror, and I think 6 goes on way too long, but they will always have a place in my library

@Octane I played 5 to completion and while it was no where near as good as 4 I still had some fun there. As for 6, I've heard the complaints but I never played it so I would like to see for myself.

Is 5 the one where hulking Chris breaks a boulder by punching it? Or is that the one where pretty boy Leon tries to talk to a zombie in the very intro?

@Octane From what I've heard, the complaining is kind of like how people complained 3D World wasn't a proper 3D Mario game.

Wow, I'm so used to thinking of Capcom as MH (we're not getting it), SF (we're getting it), and RE (we sort of get pieces) only, that it's weird to have to think of Capcom actually selling MM now as well (and that we're getting ALL of it.) 1990: Capcom = Megaman. 2016: Capcom = MH, what's Mega Man? 2018: Capcom = Mega man.

Oh, and Ace Attorney...which we're getting!

Since Capcom is on a roll with all of these awesome sounding collections, I hope those rumors of Ace Attorney Switch collections turn out to be true.

@Octane Zelda cycle applies to a lot more than Zelda.

@Ralizah Capcom cycle.

I've heard they abandoned the classic formula in favour of a more 'western' shooter to chase the FPS craze from a decade ago. Never played them, so I wouldn't know.

@Octane Well, RE4 radically changed the formula by introducing pronounced action elements, and this was received so well after the mediocre sales of previous games that they doubled down on this aspect in the sequels. They even forced co-op in RE5. The snag is that, if you're playing sp, your AI partner is as dumb as a bag of rocks. There is a pretty good story DLC that feels a lot more like proper RE, but the base game is pretty awful even in comparison to 4.

Never tried RE6. Or that raccoon city co-op shooter.

Played Yooka-Laylee solely in handheld mode so far. It does have at some point just a momentary pause but apart from that no stuttering or dropping frames

@YummyHappyPills I thought it wasn't out til Thursday?

I'm tempted to get it but £35 seems very steep for what wasn't a particularly well-received game. Maybe when it's sub-£20.

@Buizel Backer copy.

Honestly outside of that very occasional and brief pause that happens I have no complaints with how it runs. Its clearly below 720p handheld so the devs werent lying. Frame rate is solid. Shadows and lighting looks fine. All the added little changes like fast dialogue, voice options are good and available as standard as well as a manual camera.

Good stuff.

Still dont think its my kind of game though, BUT I did enjoy my run through Trubalstack Tropics (Before expansion) quite a lot more than on PS4 back in April. Its once the levels expan I get a bit hm about it.

Ultimately I think this game is a good fit for Switch. It certainly feels better here in handheld mode than on my PS4 but that may just be my preference or general mood when I played that version determining that

@YummyHappyPills They said 600p handheld, which isn't too bad so long as it runs well. Good to hear it's playing well so far!
