Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

I picked up Forager. It's not the biggest discount compared to some others, but I've been eyeing it since it came out. Really happy with it so far! Very addicting, and it looks like there's going to be plenty of updates in the future.

I also finally picked up Celeste which I'm really excited to try out.

Why must it irritate me that unravel 2's picture doesnt say 'Unravel 2' on it? Rhetorical question.

@Tangerine They're just trying to save you the pain of being reminded that Unravel (1) isn't available for Switch.

I'm taking a long, hard look at double dipping for Hand of Fate 2. The developer, DefiantDevelopment, closed their doors last year. So I'd like to throw some appreciation their way. The Hand of Fate series are tabletop rpg games combined with Batman Arkham combat.

I'm in the same boat, my friend. Pretty sure I'll cave for both GRIS and Donut County. At least both are relatively short.

The hot news of the day is that Konami is attempting their spin on the battle monster genre. The project's name, Solomon Program, has been announced for Switch. Like Pokemon or Digimon, Solomon Program will pull inspiration from monsters within Konami's various IP. It could be interesting, but after Contra: Rogue Corps I doubt gamers will be eager to support this.

Need a Direct...

Metroid and Pikmin have been held hostage far too long.

@JaxonH yep, i need one in my life. So close to just grabbing prime trilogy on Wii u

@NintendoByNature Like to see that too. 6 months ago I was at a 70% probability. Now I’m more like a 40%. Nintendo is known for closely guarding their games until they feel like releasing them. For all we know the HD remasters could have been done for a year and they just been putting it away, waiting for 2020. 2019 was jam packed after all.

I guess I’m fine with it either way, just sucks to see all that smoke and no fire.

every year without Metroid Prime Trilogy is a sad year

This week's Famitsu sales chart, Switch games hold 26 of the top 30 games sold.

The Switch is as hot as the sun itself, just crazy.

@Magician Looks pretty cool. But I won't get excited until I see more. Plenty of ways to screw this up.

It would be nice if Nintendo revisited their older IPs. A brand new Star Tropics for switch! F-Zero switch cup! Solar Striker 2020?!

@GameOtaku I wouldn't mind a Star Tropics remake in the vein of Link's Awakening. I've never played the game.

@NotTelevision yea I know, almost everyone ( YouTubers/gaming sites) was certain it was to be announced a couple of game awards ago. When it didn't happen, I thought ok...2019 it's coming, then nothing. I mean, there is tons to play so im not complaining, I just keep waiting for it since it's at the top of my most wanted list. Hoping we get that announced in the next direct very badly.

@NintendoByNature When Prime 4 was announced to be restarted, I figured "if Prime Trilogy is happening it's not coming until like 2021/2022 to be once again close to Prime 4's release". Then again we've heard nothing about Bayonetta 3 for 2 years so maybe Prime Trilogy 2020, Prime 4 2022/2023 is reasonable.

@Octane
I was thinking more along the lines of a 3D sequel incorporating the yoyo for traversing the environment as well as attack. Submarine missions. A letter including in the manual to submerge in water to read a message!

@Grumblevolcano see i was in the other camp thinking delay of prime 4 meant they should announce trilogy to hold over fans. Then again id even be fine with a new 2d.

Puzzle and dragons handheld only ??

Prime 4 is happening this year. I'm almost sure of it.

(Until it doesn't happen and then I never said anything.)
