@JaxonH Well, time to buy six of them.

@Knuckles-Fajita

Nintendo UK represents a big portion of The Huts business, though they are growing, and they don't do anything without permission. Oh and Crash is on there.

If it is, it is. If not, oh well I was wrong. Dont particularly care.

Either way as much as I would want to buy that game on Switch, I won't. I'm past the point where late ports or more expensive pirts are acceptable, unless its a game from before the system came out obviously.

So sorry Spyro, you're staying on my PS4. Moneybags aint getting me this time.

If I get Spyro, it would be for Switch or PC (which I'm sure is gonna come too eventually). If I'm going to play it at 30fps, I might as well do it on my Switch instead of the PS4/Xbox where if I wanted graphical fidelity and a higher framerate, I'll use my PC.

I don't mind waiting anyway, too many games to replay and play.

We’re definitely going to see something from Activision on the Switch in the years to come. Unless if they decide to revive Skylanders, I think there’ll be a new Crash game within the next 2 years which will probably have a Switch port. And I see Spyro doing the same and both becoming biannual series. (One year Crash, One year Spyro) Will we see a Switch port of the Spyro games? Probably

Why are we even talking about Spyro not coming to the Switch? It will happen as it's a perfect fit like Crash was. This is just Activision trying to milk extra sales from the Switch version from double dipping is all. Buy it here first then so many months from now enjoy it again on the go.

The logic behind Spyro not necessarily coming is reasonable. Would we be talking about Spyro coming to Switch if it wasn't for its appearance on the Nintendo UK Online Store and the official website? Likely not, we'd be thinking Activision is doing the typical 3rd party move of not bothering at all with a Switch version and PC version just coming later especially when you look back at how Crash came to Switch.

Could it come to Switch, sure but it's not a certainty.

Too many games in September, I don't think I have the time to play Spyro.

I realized something about Nintendo Switch games.
Different titles, different energy drainer.
Titles like Super Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Overcooked, etc are draining energy lesser (20 - 30% Battery Energy for 1 hour) than Yonder the Cloud Catcher Chronicles, LEGO CITY Undercover, etc (Draining 45 - 50 % Battery Energy for 1 hour).
And that's why my Switch started to get warm + Fan started to spin in 1 hour when i played Yonder on Handheld mode.
I guess Open World games are draining more energy than other Switch games.

I always charge my Switch when im not using it in handheld mode. same goes for pretty much other handhelds with the ability to have a charging cable.

the co-director of ACNL has left Nintendo. this doesn't mean that Animal Crossing Switch inst happening. so i wouldn't worried to much about an Animal Crossing Switch not happening yet.

Completed the main story in Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker after a binge session last night. Really imaginitive game. I still have the bonus stuff to do, and I have some gems & special objectives left to complete (I'll definitely grab the gems, but I'm not sure about doing all the special objectives).

So that means 3DS games are consuming more power than NDS games, right ?

@Anti-Matter Depends on the game.

I would like to point out that I saw an ad for Switch last night, done in a somewhat similar style to the montage they had at the E3 Direct.
It showed that every game was out now that that they showed in the commercial, except for Smash in December. I'm not sure that implying that the next big game coming out isn't until December (awkwardly not even showing Mario Party or Pokemon), was the best marketing idea. It made me laugh a bit.

@kkslider5552000 that's odd... why not advertise you're other huge hits like Pokemon Let's Go and Super Mario Party. unless im somehow misreading on what you're saying, if so, i apologies.

Depends on what the other games were, if it was a bunch of games with online multiplayer (e.g. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Splatoon 2, Mario Tennis Aces) it makes not to include Super Mario Party and Pokemon Let's Go.

I imagine the purpose of that ad is to sell you on something you can play right now, with Pokemon/Smash getting more advertising on TV when they aren't 4/6 months away.

Well, hey, at least it is honest marketing for once. =P

Pokemon Let's Go is probably going to outsell everything on Switch except maybe Mario Odyssey and MK8 Deluxe.
