Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

Ya. Never liked running in Smash either. Would much prefer to hold ZL

@jump
It was certainly a different environment. The flood of stylized 8 and 16-bit "retro" games hadn't yet breached the dams, so it was a cool take and reminded a lot of people of playing a good ol' arcade beat-em-up with their friends.

Does anyone reckon with Dragalia Lost being a hit on mobile Ninty might try doing a console version or a proper game version of it?

I see some folks concerned about MLB The Show 2021 not being announced for Switch alongside the Xbox version the other day. But I wouldn't be worried. Nintendo did tweet their enthusiasm for the series going multiplatform back in December. So I imagine a Switch port is still in the works. Like other third party games it'll probably be released later in year, allowing San Diego Studios to catch double-dippers (PS5 & Switch or XSX & Switch).

could not be better if Nintendo drop the 4 of Metroid Prime and replace with a subtitle, to not impact the game sales.

Only if its like Metroid Fusion and the opening still calls it Metroid Prime 4 anyway.

Bravely Default II looking wild. I love it

@JaxonH lol Elvis going full Elton John in that top-right screenshot.

The outfits in those games look like they were copied from a Queen music video:

Shame the Direct drought has gone on so long that the Next Nintendo Direct thread went from a fun place to discuss about Nintendo's potential upcoming lineup and Direct stuff in general to a complete garbage fire.

Lol thread to thread warfare?

I'm blame the mods myself, Octane lost interest in Nintendo since he got his new PS and Eel is overworked. lol

@Dezzy I now want a Queen JRPG!

Haha he is in that thread more than any Nintendo thread.

@Grumblevolcano Your efforts to maintain Nintendo Direct hype in the face of repeated disappointments is truly commendable. Long may it continue. Any chance of one today?

Play as Freddie ....

I just don't understand the yearning desire for a direct right now.

We have so many games releasing up through April I don't even wanna think about Directs until e3

@gcunit No, given the Apex Legends situation I don't think there'll be any type of Direct until after 3D World launches. Either a Zelda 35th anniversary Direct (around February 18th) or a Pokemon 25th anniversary Direct (around February 26th).

@JaxonH Well it's to do with the event itself, potential new announcements and more info on known games. With Directs that aren't shadow dropped, you have the speculation about what will be in the Direct and general Nintendo Life chat throughout the stream which is a really fun experience in itself. Regarding content, while there's lots of 3rd party stuff there's very little on the 1st party front. Also while there's plenty of games through April when you consider all games, the only ones that are really out in the open regarding new info on are 3D World and MH Rise. Directs would bring some of the other games into the spotlight.

@Grumblevolcano
I'm not saying a new direct couldn't be justified. I'm just saying it's hard to care when we have such a full plate in the coming months

@JaxonH It's horses for courses though, there's good stuff coming but not everyone will be happy with those games due to personal taste. People are just hoping there's a Direct so it delivers all their wildest gaming dreams, only to then be brutality crushed by there being no new F-Zero, Mother 3 or whatever.
