I seriously hope it's true. It's been one of the few ports I've been wanting. Crash 4 is cool. THPS 1 and 2 would be simply phenomenal.

A moment to appreciate just how blessed we’ve been as Switch gamers lately. It’s just amazing game after amazing game after amazing game.

First, we get hit with the Monster Hunter Rise demo. A generation defining game- the demo provided more content than some full priced releases. By the time I’ve had my fill 25 hours in, Super Mario 3D World releases- one of the best 3D platformers I’ve ever played. I barely got 3 worlds into it, and they hit us with Persona 5 Strikers, a game that so far, comes remarkably close to mainline Persona, one of the top JRPGs. And before I get 2 hours into that game, they hit us with Project Triangle Strategy demo, which is the most exciting SRPG I’ve played since FE Awakening back in 2013. And by the time I run through that, Bravely Default 2 will be out- proper sequel to one of the best JRPGs of the 3DS. And if that’s not enough, we’ve got one month to play all of this before Monster Hunter Rise releases, followed by Trails of Cold Steel 4- the finale to one of my new fave JRPG series, and New Pokémon Snap, with Mario Golf and Zelda Skyward Sword soon after, both of which have me crazy hyped.

This year is a bonanza... an absolute feast. I can barely even keep up with buying all these games, much less play them all. No idea how Ys IX, SMT Nocturne and SMTV, Neo TWEWY, Rune Factory 5, Monster Hunter Stories 2, etc are going to slot into this. Not to mention all the 3rd party stuff like Crash 4, Tony Hawk, Diablo 2 remake, etc. It’s gonna be another one of those “play 50 games, beat 5 of them” kinda years.

@NintendoByNature
Switch tends to get most of the games in its power range, they just release in the 2nd round 6-12 months after. Although Diablo 2 remake is a nice day and date announcement. They’re not all delayed releases.

But ya. Once you learn the pattern it’s like ok, no big deal when you see Switch not listed for a new release. It’ll likely get announced later.

@JaxonH yep. I had hope it would come over. And while its not officially confirmed, it's good to know its more than likely on the way

I've been holding off on purchasing a 1 TB card for as long as possible. But this holiday might be my breaking point. My 400 GB card has dipped below 80 GB remaining and I feel as though I've trimmed as many games from the collection as I can. Lots of mediocre games I couldn't bring myself to play through or games I've finished and found to be average experiences not worth going back to.

Somebody remind me, is there any point in using a micro sd card with an application performance better than bog standard A1?

I figure purchasing a U1 card would be a waste of about $50.

Wow. Switch games on fire.

Zelda Skyward Sword is still the #1 selling game on Amazon. The entire top 100 is chock full of Switch titles. Super Mario 3D World right behind Zelda, of course.

Bravely Default 2 has stormed to #24, Mario Golf up to #43, toe to toe with Persona 5 Strikers on PS4. And the Switch version is holding it down at a respectable #90, which is also top 100. I’m surprised at just how well it’s holding up in sales against the PS version. All without an established fanbase. If they ever release the main line series I think it would smash.

And Monster Hunter Rise creepin’ on a come up at #109.

@Magician
Nope. Switch can’t use the higher class cards.

Not that it matters though. There’s only one 1TB micro SD on the market anyways.

I totally understand. Believe me. I have a 1TB in my Switch and a backup 1TB in the kickstand. And both are full. Im always archiving games on the main card I feel aren’t tier 1 priority, redownload on the backup thats tier 2 priority, but make room for it by then archiving something tier 3 on the backup. A constant assembly line process of “new games come onto main card, find games to move to backup card to make room, find games to archive on backup card to make room”.

I got tired of constantly switching my system off and switching SDs that I eventually just started keeping a list of games I need to download and archive on the spare SD. Then every few months I put it in and catch up on my list.

I’ve also found there’s no room for multiple games of a series unless it’s a very special series (like Monster Hunter, Mario, Zelda, etc). I only keep ONE Sniper Elite (Sniper Elite 4), ONE Saints Row (Saints Row 4), ONE Assassins Creed (Assassins Creed Rebel Collection), ONE Metro game (Metro Last Light), ONE Borderlands game (Borderlands 2), ONE Bioshock game (Bioshock Infinite), ONE Darksiders game (Darksiders Warmastered), ONE Doom/Wolfenstein game (DOOM Eternal), TWO Resident Evil games (RE Revelations and RE5, but will swap RE5 for RE Outrage once it releases), etc.

One from each series. Two on rare exception. Otherwise there’s just not enough room.

The gold one was the only one I was aware of, and the only one that was available when I bought all of mine. Looks like the other one is a new addition, for a lower price.

Nice find. The cheaper one has 120 mbps read speed which is plenty fast enough.

It has come to mind that there's not much point in 3rd parties supporting a more powerful Switch with games that wouldn't run on the base Switch until like 2023. As perfectly shown by PS5/Series X, the more powerful Switch would just go straight to scalpers selling them for $700 - $1000 for like a whole year anyway.

@Grumblevolcano
That's grossly overstating the impact of scalpers, which have always been a thing, and has never stopped the vast majority of units from ending up in gamers' hands, or early release games from selling crazy well for a new system.

When Switch launched you couldn't find the system until late in the year. Prices on eBay were nuts. Didn't stop games such as Bomberman R from breaking 1 million sold, or Ultra Street Fighter II or Disgaea 5 from smashing 500k.

I kind of like Kirby. They will probably do some sort of freemium game like they did with Fighters and that other one where you get the gem apples. I forget the name. Zelda it seems we'll learn more toward the SS remake release date if insiders are to be believed.

@JaxonH It's worse now than it used to be because of the pandemic. Scalpers take advantage of the online stock as usual but there's a much higher proportion of online stock this time.

Physical retail is the solution to dealing with scalpers but that's not really an option given people would prioritize the console over safety like that PS5 incident in Japan.

@Grumblevolcano it doesn’t change the fact that the consoles are getting out there which means the owners are buying games.

@Grumblevolcano Scalping existed long before the internet, the term itself comes from the 19th century. Even with physical shops there would still be people reselling thing.

Meh, I thought Underground was the best of the Tony Hawk games.

Not for me, but I'm happy for the people who wanted it. Switch is being treated like one of the ninth-gen consoles in terms of most releases in its power range.

Nah.
Not interested with Tony Hawk games.
I'm interested to get Beatmania IIDX and Pop'n Music PS2 games instead.
