Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

@Slowdive i don't think that's gods & monsters in the pics or trailer, if we're going by that. Edit: Im open to being wrong, though.

@Slowdive Oh, wow. Got ya

Well, I heard it was getting renamed but we basically haven't seen official footage since that E3 stuff, so it certainly could be .... That's promising & I'm looking forward to seeing more of that!

@Magician Castlevania Requiem for other platforms is definitely off the cards

Sony funded and collaborated directly with Konami to make that compilation happen to begin with, as SotN and Rondo of Blood in that collection are based on the versions found in The Dracula X Chronicles on PSP, with the redubbed script for SotN and the English dialogue for Rondo

At best Konami will do another Anniversary Collection like the one that came out last year, that will feature games like the GBA/DS titles but for whatever reason SotN and Rondo are essentially locked to Sony consoles outside that Xbox 360 port of the former

@TheFrenchiestFry

Don't forget Rondo on Wii-VC. In any case, that's unfortunate for Switch-only folk who haven't played those game before. Oh well.

@Magician Honestly if anything I'd take a port of MGS HD Collection over Castlevania Requiem. Requiem was barebones as hell, even compared to the Anniversary Collection that came out later

Metal Gear only ever sporadically appears on Nintendo systems and it's kinda sad. I got the Vita version of HD Collection when it came out and it was fantastic. The version of MGS3 on there was far superior to Snake Eater 3D, but was still a little bit hamstrung by the 30fps cap in performance compared to PS3/360 getting a full 60fps experience. It would also be kind of sweet seeing Nintendo fans finally getting to play the original MSX versions of Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake

That rename of G&M is horrendous. It sounds like a generic indie JRPG "inspired by" Assassin's Creed. Immortals: Fenyx Rising. Even Gung Ho can do better...

I like it ☺

I think it's less generic than the original name but I don't really care about that.... I'm interested in seeing what it looks like now and some gameplay

Why do all video games need titles with a colon? NondescriptNoun: A Qualifier. It's soo.....indefinite? It's like we can't decide on titles so we just use several chosen by the committee, separated by colons.

Shooty Mans: Forward Assault: Syndicate's Legacy: Reborn: Who Didn't Clean The Coffee Pot: I Have To Jump On Another Call

I miss Gods & Monsters as a title. Generic or not, it felt like the kind of title that could become well known as a series, and I did remember it from the first trailer. The new one... uh... I keep forgetting it other than it has the word Fenyx in it.

You're not old enough to be that grumpy.... How about seeing if it now looks like a good game when they show it?

Brand Name: Tonal distinguisher

And if you've never heard of a tonal distinguisher... you're welcome.

I always thinking about Imagine and Petz series from Ubisoft.
Nintendo Switch (and PS4) needs more casual, kiddie and girly games like those franchises.
Microids did first by My Universe series, clones of Imagine series by Ubisoft on Switch and PS4.
And to see PS4 finally getting casual girly games like Imagine series, i was happy to see more casual games variety on Sony machines.

@link3710 legal probably focus tested that using the word gods in a title could lead to backlash in some markets. And by some markets, i mean USA and Syria.

@gcunit I love Tonal Distinguisher. It's my favorite Schwarzenegger flick!

@NEStalgia 😄😎

By the way, there doesn't seem to actually be the colon that's causing all this debate in Ubisoft's version of the title .... They've now revealed that officially & changed it's name in their store, with no colons!

So Warner Bros Games are officially not for sale now so there's no need to worry about Microsoft taking away the yearly Lego games on Nintendo anymore.

@jump

We've got a fair number of the Lego games on Switch now. What's left? Batman, Lord of the Rings, Indiana Jones, Pirate's of the Caribbean, Avengers, and The Hobbit. That should be about it since the upcoming Skywalker Saga is suppose to cover all nine Star Wars movies.
