@link3710 Wow, that's quite the "non-existent" collection you have. Very nice! A few of those are games I wasn't even aware got physical releases!

@darkfenrir I've felt for a while that a proper gaming smartphone would be a great idea and would actually potentially make mobile gaming worth my time. But for whatever reason, somehow, no one has managed to do it right. All it would take is a Galaxy or iPhone with official detachable physical controls similar in style to this or the Switch, with a dedicated gaming mode and a library of games made or updated to support those controls "out of the box". Yeah I know there's a bunch of 3rd party accessories for phones but compatibility is always a question. If Apple or Samsung or maybe even Sony or Nintendo released a true gaming smartphone, and started standardizing gaming controls on smartphones, it'd be a big deal.

@Mrtoad @diwdiws Keep in mind that 'higher specs' doesn't always mean it's better at running video games, at least necessarily. The Switch is tailored to do one thing really well, and that's play video games, phones aren't, they have to do all sorts of things; So don't expect a phone with the same specs as a Switch to do equally well in the games department. But yeah, a modern day high-end phone is definitely more powerful than a Switch. There's a reason why games like Fortnite and PUBG are playable on phones these days; because they can.

AGAIN ! A new port for the Switch... :/

Dynasty Warriors 8: Xtreme Legends Complete Edition DX...

PS4, Xbox, and PC get ports all the time. Who cares if the Switch gets ports too? It's honestly no big deal.

Next time we should protest if PC got some sort of ports from consoles. Besides is it so bad that it increases the amount of the game libraries even if it's port? Don't like it, don't buy the game, that's... what it is. If someone else wants to, now they have the choice to.

Maybe we should protest all the ports SE is doing for example? It seems to be very positive, and yet this one port suddenly ruins everything.

This just in, we should never have ports so we can let our games be lost to older generations and to not expose more people to those games.

**** outta here with that nonsense.

It's ok, only Switch that shouldn't have ports! After all all the other consoles have ZERO ports!

So What ?
If the games also on another machines, it will NOT The End of The World.
You must be granted to ABLE to play games that are NOT Originally from Nintendo Switch.
With Ports, i CAN play Dragon Quest Builders, Portal Knights, World of Final Fantasy Maxima, FF XII, etc on Nintendo Switch.
I was so Extremely Happy once heard Final Fantasy games announced for Nintendo Switch, despite they were Old games in HD Remaster.
So what's wrong with ports ?
Does it bothering you so much ?

@Heavyarms55 TWEWY will be my tenth physical game (although that's including FIFA 18, which my brother plays but I don't). I think I have around 15-20 digital games.

@EvilLucario

Yeah BUT they get A LOT of other games !

The Switch is a ports machine for the moment... Wii U, PS3, X360, DS, IOS, Android etc... But where are the REAL NEW GAMES ?

Dynasty Warriors 8. Awesome!!

@Octane and i recognize that, phones are burdened by a heavy os, with tons of other features moreover unlike the switch, phones dont have a dedicated active cooling system which throttles their power. I was just replying to the posted link and @Mrtoad when they said that the phones is comparing itself to the switch when it has a weaker spec

When did we stop calling them games and start calling them ports?

As for number of games... I don't have my Switch to hand, but I think I have well over 60 at this point. And very little money wasted imo.

@Cobalt I'm tempted to reply to you saying that the Switch already has a decent number of original games, some of which are among the best examples of their respective genres in recent years, and that ports are a good thing because they make games available to a new audience and offer a new way to play it by virtue of being on a hybrid console, but you already know all that. You just find every opportunity you can get to say something negative about the Switch.

@Dogorilla best examples of their respective genres? Hmmmmm

I mean, the iPhone X craps all over Switch in terms of specs.

But it doesnt exactly run games better. Lower detail and more inconsistent framerate albeit at a higher resolution.

Chocobo's Dungeon would DEFINITELY be on my list for early next year
