I hope every high quality 360 era game gets ported to Switch basically.
Mass Effect and Bioshock Trilogies especially.
While these would be great to have, I think it's settling for less. Bethesda and Panic Button have shown multiple times whats actually possible on Switch and are now planning a simultaneous release for a brand new Doom. They've set the bar high; a lot higher than just settling for ports of last gen.
I don't necessarily disagree, but it isn't like those series have anything more relevant or newer to port to the Switch anyway. Also, I like the Switch being used as a 360 port machine, it's good for games to get a new audience, especially if they're really great. Disproves the idiotic "MUST MAKE A PROFIT IN 2 WEEKS OR IT'S A FAILURE FOREVER" logic some game companies try to use.
I know this is a slight change of subject but I don't want to open a new thread and have it immediately shut down
Anyway, has anyone tried Battle Chef Brigade? It's on sale and looks promising but I was looking to see what people thought of it. Any opinions are appreciated!
@Kimyonaakuma You could try the Switch recommendations thread, or, if there isn't already a specific thread for the game, then you have our permission to start one.
You guys had me at blood and semen.
What better way to celebrate than firing something out of the pipe?
A few weeks ago I almost bought a Switch (ordered it on Amazon and then cancelled it at the last minute before it shipped).
The reason? A complete lack of any sort of standard online features that we've had since the Wii (web browser, Netflix, Virtual Console, etc). When I stepped back and looked at the big picture, what I really want is a portable all-in-one console for travelling. However, with these puzzling limitations I would have to bring another tablet-sized device (not to mention the other hardware issues the Switch has).
Also, for the time being the only Switch game that I'm really interested in is Breath of the Wild (which also happens to be on Wii U) so I might as well get it on that console (and have the ability to also back up my save).
Overall, I really like the concept of the Switch, and really hope Nintendo fixes these issues in the next revision, but right now it's missing too many features and has too many other small issues for me to want to get one right now.
Why does everyone want to backup saves so desperately? I appreciate the feature but I've never had the need to use it on any console. Do people break their consoles easily?

@Alber-san Sometimes save files can just become corrupted or you may accidentally delete it. Its happened to my Vita at least once. Its one of those things you prepare for in the hope it'll never happen.
@ReaderRagfish The difference here though is all games save to the system. If you lose said system or somehow bricks your saved data will still be in the cloud and can continue when and if you get a new one.
Ive lost all my data on my 3ds on a system transfer before. 1000's of hours just gone.
Saving games to the cloud is just super convenient, and honestly is worth the price of the service on its own. I'd have never let my PS+ lapse if it had a cheaper tier for cloud saves and discounts or something. I never play the included games.

If those functions are that important, I think you will be better off with a tablet or one of those ultraportable laptops. Or an high-end phone for that matter, many of them have screens that are almost as big as the switch screen.
I lost 3DS and Wii data because of having to send in for repair, twice for 3DS and once for Wii. Knowing that I'd lose 3DS data a 3rd time is why I'd rather buy a new New 3DS XL and do a transfer than send my current one in to repair the buttons that aren't working properly.
Meanwhile since owning a 360 in 2009, I have only lost any Xbox data once and that was transferring my 360 save of Tomb Raider Underworld to XB1. Cloud saves act weird if you don't have the same content installed so the fact Microsoft hadn't brought the DLC (Beneath the Ashes and Lara's Shadow) to the backwards compatibility version at the same time as the base game led to the cloud save being overwritten.
I have no doubt that preventing save data corruption is at least one of the reasons why the Switch forces you to redownload all content (updates and DLC) if you decide to play a game after deleting it so something like my Tomb Raider Underworld example would never happen on Switch.
EDIT: Seems all my Tomb Raider 360 saves are gone.
The boyfriend got me dead cells, I'm happy I get to be a part of the current craze over the game. Only been a few minutes but I can already tell the gameplay is refined extremely well, just by how the character handles
@MisterPi Dead Cells is next on my wishlist! I'm currently playing Minit on Switch. Thinking of getting Dead Cells on PS4 though. How is the frame rate?
