Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

The only KONAMI games i have interest about are my Top 7 KONAMI rhythm games (look at my signature below).

The MS & Nintendo collaboration rumors are picking back up. Something about Phil Spencer displaying a Nintendo Switch on his wall during a recent interview. Hint, hint...wink, wink. Are the discussions of MS potentially bringing Game Pass to the Switch back on? Things are getting spicy.

Edit: I know Kate posted an article, but I'm lttp. I'm usually quite busy on Mondays.

Nothing turns me on more than corporate cooperation for video game releases.

Oh yeah baby, put that Microsoft published indie on Switch. You know how I like it. ; )

I know most people are hoping for Game Pass or whatever on Switch, but I'm just hoping MS lets Rare put some stuff on Switch, starting with Rare Collection (or whatever they called it) and then open the possibility of a new Diddy Kong Racing. (Yes, yes, cue the comments about Rare not being the same group of people. I get that. But I can dream lol)

Ugh, this Indie World sale has made me break my own rule, waiting for deep discounts on digital purchases. I see Aaero, Huntdown, Castle Crashers, and Heroes of Hammerwatch on...reasonable discount. I can't resist, I must buy. I'm such a fink, failing to abide by my own rule.

@Magician yep. I see quite a few I want to grab. Ori and the will of the wisps, shantate and the 7 sirens, a hat in time. Not sure which I'll go with honestly.

Edit: forgot about bug fables.

I still think Halo might be coming to Switch.

King Zell told us a while back, before he disappeared from the scene, that we'd get something "like Mario on PS". He also told us about Monster Hunter like a year and a half before release. Which means he gets info super early in the process (which means his source is high up the ladder, whoever they are).

Anyways, with that in mind, it could finally be his leak coming to fruition. After all, it wasn't just Phil with a Switch on the shelf. The official Halo Instagram also posted a picture of Mario and company in Halo outfits.

Retro Studios hire Chad Orr know for his work on Dreamwork/Disney to work as Metroid Prime 4 senior Lighting artist.

@Giancarlothomaz There's no evidence that he's working on Metroid Prime 4. It could and probably is an entirely separate game.

@link3710 WHAT? do you think Nintendo/Retro Studios is secretly working in another game? sorry to disapoint you, but this recent hire that i posted yesterday, is working on Metroid Prime 4

@link3710 Shrek 5: The Game confirmed!

@Giancarlothomaz They are pointing out you're making assumptions rather than knowing it as a fact.

How boring are things when a guy that does lights in a game got a job is considered a news worthy talking point. ;p

@jump Hey, learn to appreciate lighting! Square Enix is re-doing the lighting for Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade! ;p

@jump this is not assumption, Shineparks and now Nintendo Life reported this person is working on Metroid Prime 4 as the senior Lighting artist, i never post fake news, this is real go look at Shinepark, beside his Likedin Acount mention he working on as senior Lighting artist on Metroid Prime 4.

@Giancarlothomaz They are all literally saying he's working at Retro and they DON'T specifically mention Metroid Prime 4.

He probably is working on MP4 but so what, are we meant to be looking at the lighting from his past work to figure out what it's gonna be like in MP4 ;P

Just because he's at Retro doesn't automatically mean he's working on Metroid. The NL article itself says he joined Retro, who [my observation] is just happening to work on Metroid Prime 4. He may be working on another project, and NL may have phrased the article to include the words "Metroid Prime 4" to gain some more views.

@TheJGG Retro Studios current game they are developing is Metroid Prime 4, why everyone here insisit this person must be working on another game at Retro Studios?where did you get this assumption he working on another game beside Metroid Prime 4?, Nintendo top priority for Retro Studios for them to work on Metroid Prime 4,if theres another Retro Studios game been worked(maybe yes or no, is gonna be released after Metroid Prime 4), after all Nintendo promised Metroid Prime 4 for us since 2017.

@Giancarlothomaz Well you can't automatically assume Retro would have all their staff working on Metroid Prime 4. When they were developing Donkey Kong Country: Returns, they were also working on Metroid Prime: Trilogy. The same could apply to Nintendo themselves, if they actually reported who they were hiring. They have so many divisions that it's all but guaranteed they're working on at least three new games.

@TheJGG that true, if is true that Retro Studios is working on Metroid Prime 4 and a mysterious game, what game do you imagine/expect they are working?another Donkey Kong country? and when do you expect then gonna release this game on Switch?

@Giancarlothomaz I'd like to think they're all working on Prime 4, to ensure it'll be a good entry, but I imagine Prime Trilogy is a thing and that it's being done by a very small team.
