These mystery Amazon listings are always fun, but I try to keep my expectations at rock bottom. I'm still waiting for that physical release for Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice that Amazon Spain hinted at years ago.

Switch Physical Collection - 1,260 games (as of June 15th, 2024)

One of those listings is probably DOOM Eternal, right? I haven't been totally keeping up on when we expect that one, but I thought it was at least this year.

I'm excited about the Square Enix listings. I doubt it'll be anything super sick like Kingdom Hearts, but dang, wouldn't that be so awesome, even if it was literally just KH1.

The guesses I went for on the article were:

Warner Bros. 2: NSW / XBO - Lego Harry Potter
Warner Bros. 3: NSW / PS4 / XBO - Lego Star Wars
Square Enix 2: NSW - Bravely Default II
Square Enix 3: NSW - Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles HD
Ubisoft 2: NSW / XBO / PS4 - Gods and Monsters
Ubisoft 3: NSW / XBO - Anno 1800
Bethesda 1: NSW / PS4 - Commander Keen (mobile)
Bethesda 2: NSW / PS4 / XBO - Fallout 3 Collection
Bethesda 3: NSW - DOOM Eternal
Capcom: NSW - New Monster Hunter
Take-Two 3: NSW / PS4 / XBO - NBA 2K21

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles is digital only in the west so I would cross that one off.

The Capcom listing is apparently Switch exclusive so, it could be the Monster Hunter hinted at by insiders (the one who leaked World just reiterated a Switch MH is coming last week, saying to have "patience") but I'm not going to get my hopes up. That could come later in the life cycle like World did on other systems, especially if its being built ground up for the system. So maybe, but maybe it's some variant of Ultra SF IV. Who knows.

Kingdom Hearts will definitely come. But who can say when. It may be next year. Took them a while to get all the Final Fantasy games on, and there's a TON of KH games in those collections.

I won't dare to speculate though. Whatever comes comes.

Digital only is extremely disappointing for me, I'd been waiting for maybe a special edition. Whatever. Still very excited for it.

@TuVictus - Worse yet, according to Amazon JP the Japanese physical release of Final Fantasy CC doesn't support English. Which is odd considering all the other Japanese FF releases do support English.

@Grumblevolcano - Lego Harry Potter has been available on Switch for a while. The new Lego Star Wars game is going to cover all nine movies, and has been open to preorder for some time. So I hope those WB Games are Injustice 2 and Batman Arkham (a double pack of AA and AC would be fine by me).

I could totally do Arkham Asylum again. I only played through it once back at original release, so it's been a loooong time. What a fantastic game and pretty unique when it came out. Just looked up release date - 2009. Wow, can't believe it's been so long.

@Magician I recall some Asian sourced game cards have not had the english pack on them, but I don't think it's common. Either space on the game card was limited, or English support wasn't completed until after the game cards were ran off, because game devs focus on japanese before they tackle english localization. Edit: Forgive me if I misunderstood what you're discussing.

The 2K collections are a midnight launch, I can see them all on the eshop now. 2 and a half hours left on XCOM 2 download.

@Magician Good point, I was just quickly going through wiki pages and making guesses from that. Seeing Switch only as Switch exclusive or port already on XB1/PS4, Switch/XB1 as currently PS4 exclusive or doesn't come to PS4, Switch/PS4/XB1 as new to current gen (outside of XB1 backwards compatibility).

For example there aren't current gen ports of Fallout 3 and New Vegas (only way to play on current gen is XB1 backwards compatibility) so porting that to XB1, PS4 and Switch would be a way to properly get it on current gen.

I missed the Crystal Chronicles announcement. Shame that it's digital-only in the West.

@WoomeyNNYes - I'm an avid collector of Japanese Switch physical releases that have full English support yet those games aren't released in other regions for whatever reason. Final Fantasy CC is just one of the games I've been keeping an eye on since preorders opened last year. A fair number of S-E published games have English on the cartridge, not all though. And I was only expressing my disappointment in the fact that the physical release doesn't support English, nothing more.

@Ralizah Oh shoot is it out? I still need to play Pirate's Curse too (and honestly I never did beat the original Gameboy game despite having done multiple attempts throughout the years). Glad to hear it's taken feedback into account though. HGH was fun, but not something I'd replay.

@rallydefault Unlikely, Doom Eternal (Switch) has been on Amazon for years now, as has the collector's edition.

@GrumbleVolcano Definitely not Gods & Monsters either.

Anyways, here's my guesses.
Warner Bros. 2: NSW / XBO - Gauntlet or Injustice, probably the latter
Warner Bros. 3: NSW / PS4 / XBO - Something new... a Rampage game perhaps?
Square Enix 2: NSW - Kingdom Hearts - Story so Far (Or maybe just 1.5 + 2.5 for now? Or just 1.5?)
Square Enix 3: NSW - TWEWY 2 (based on the fact that TWEWY is the theme for Anime Expo)
Ubisoft 2: NSW / XBO / PS4 - Rayman Legends Sequel (I wanna believe)
Ubisoft 3: NSW / XBO - Possibly Star Trek Bridge Crew, reworked to not require VR?
Bethesda 1: NSW / PS4 - No idea (Only mobile and VR games usually miss Xbox, but it's physical so likely not mobile, and Switch so likely not VR...)
Bethesda 2: NSW / PS4 / XBO - Last gen remaster, likely Fallout 3 / New Vegas
Bethesda 3: NSW - Port, likely Dishonored, or Dishonored the Complete Collection
Capcom: NSW - New Monster Hunter (it's Europe and physical so it's that or Megaman)
Take-Two 3: NSW / PS4 / XBO - NBA 2K21 (Duh)

This may be the wrong place, but I didn't want to make a whole separate thread for this. I bought my daughter a Switch and was wondering if all of the games on Nintendo's store are playable on it? Can I buy some of the old Starfox games (even for Wii, etc.) and play them on the Switch?

Thank you

DonnyH

Grumblevolcano

@DonnyH The Switch store is separate from the other stores so the only Starfox games currently on the Switch are:

  • Star Fox (SNES)
  • Star Fox 2 (SNES)
  • Starlink: Battle For Atlas (Switch)

The SNES games of which Nintendo locked behind a subscription called Nintendo Switch Online. If you're interested in Nintendo's NES and SNES games (likely other systems added in the future), you need a Nintendo Switch Online subscription.

Switch only plays Switch games. It takes tiny proprietary Switch cartridges only.

You’re better off searching the eShop on the system itself to see what’s available. If you want SNES/SNES games, subscribe to their online service for $20 a year and you can download a collection of them. And some 3rd parties sell collections (Street Fighter Collection, Castlevania Collection, Sega Genesis Collection, etc).

@link3710
Capcom: NSW - New Monster Hunter (it's Europe and physical so it's that or Megaman)

Lol lol this killed me 😁 reminds me of Knuckle’s endless complaints about Capcom’s EU retail releases. They did release Dragon’s Dogma there too though, right? And what about Resident Evil Revelations Collection? The 4/5/6 pack? The 0/1 pack? None of those released in EU physically?

I’d bet a port of RE7 would get physical everywhere though. It could be that.

That's what I was wondering and I have no issue signing up for the service (already have Xbox and PS, what's one more So would I be correct in assuming that when (if) they add Wii, Wii U, etc. on to the subscription service they would work? I thought I read something where the Wii catalog was coming later this year or something.

@Ralizah
Holy smokes, Shantae and the Seven Sirens is incredible! Absolutely incredible!

I’ve never gotten sucked into a Shantae game before. Played Pirate’s Curse. Backed Half Genie Hero at Kickstarter for Wii U and Vita. I liked both of them but neither really grabbed me.

But this? Oh my gosh. For one, it just looks immaculate on the handheld screen. Absolutely gorgeous. The system level button configurator let me switch L/R with ZL/ZR so that feels better. Got faster hair whip and more damage, also the fireball and bubble shield. And this game is already. NOW I finally understand why you were so excited for this. I get it now. Totally get it.

@DonnyH
No. You can forget about Wii and Wii U. Those games will never be playable on the system. Subscription service is just NES/SNES. Maybe, one day, we’ll see N64, but that’s just speculation. It’s also just $20/yr though, not $60. And in addition to online and NES/SNES, provides access to cloud save backups. So I wouldn’t expect anything beyond that.

But again, a lot of older games are sold by the companies that own them. Dragon Quest 1, 2 and 3 are on the eShop, Final Fantasy 7, 8, 9, X, X-2, XII are on the eShop, DOOM, DOOM 2, DOOM 3, DOOM 64 are on the eShop... etc.

You can, however, take advantage of the numerous Switch ports, remasters and remakes of games from Wii and Wii U. Such as Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition (remake of a Wii game), Okami HD (remaster of a Wii game, with motion and touch support), Chocobo’s Dungeon (remaster of a Wii game), New Super Mario Bros U Deluxe (Wii U port), Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (Wii U expanded port), Hyrule Warriors (Wii U/3DS combined port), Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze (Wii U port with added character), Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Encore (Wii U port), Captain Toad Treasure Tracker (Wii U port with new DLC and Mario Odyssey levels), Pokken Tournament (Wii U port with new DLC), The Wonderful 101 (Wii U port), Bayonetta 1/2 (Wii U ports), etc. There’s also a number of other 3rd party games that were on Wii U that are on Switch now (Assassins Creed III and IV, Rayman Legends, Darksiders 1 and 2, Resident Evil Revelations, etc)

And if leaks are true, we’re potentially also looking at Super Mario 3D World (Wii U port), Mario 3D Collection of Mario 64 (N64), Mario Sunshine (Gamecube) and Mario Galaxy (Wii), Pikmin 3 (Wii U port) and Metroid Prime Trilogy (Wii remaster).
