That said, moving back to cartridges? [....] I think by the time it's a truly viable option again, and that day will come, digital distribution will be the main game.
I think it's reasonable to assume that there will be some form of shared framework that allows games to be developed for both devices at once easily. It only makes sense. That said I don't think "NX" is code for an entire ecosystem of products.
I mean you know, good on ya there Mr past me. Even if not entirely right these aren't bad theories. Even though the "shared framework, different hardware" was wrong if the Switch Pro becomes a thing it might not be that wrong. And across XBOne/PS4/XBS/PS5/PC that's definitely a thing now. But with that said, past me is also a bit of an arrogant meany mc mean pants who's still holding onto the idea of the Wii U recovering somehow. And that's most of what screws up past-me's theory.....
I don't think the NX is the codename for that entire generation of products. I think the NX is the first and the other ones will come later. And going further I think that the first device will be a portable system. Purely because I think it'll be far easier to impress us with new portable hardware.
Then a year or so after that they come out with the next generation not-NX home console. Which launches with a library that includes more visually impressive versions of games already out on NX. Possibly with cross-buy to drag people in but not necessarily. That's my prediction.
With hindsight, obviously not smart to base your predictions on Nintendo trying to be competitive on spec. Was never going to happen, hasn't happened for a long time. And the Switch was primarily about replacing the Wii U even though it is a portable that also replaced 3DS. I'm sure several dozen pages further into this thread I'm probably trying to make the case for why Breath of the Wild will remain a Wii U exclusive.....

By coincidence I've been watching some Lets Plays of Dark Alliance I & II recently, remembering how good those games were. Maybe not top-tier gameplay like in Diablo III, but the world building and voice work are really strong in the DA games.
Switch Physical Collection - 1,536 games (as of December 14th, 2025)
Switch 2 Physical Collection - 4 games (as of December 8th, 2025)
@Giancarlothomaz Tomorrow perhaps, in the past Nintendo would confirm E3 plans the day after the fiscal year earnings are revealed. If not then within the next few weeks.
As for what, I think it'll be a Direct on June 15th with as usual it being the last presentation of the show.
"We plan to continue our practice of the past few years, which is to release a video presentation discussing the games that are planned for release during the fiscal year, provide hands-on opportunities,and so on."
They pretty much confirmed back then that their E3 plans were a Direct, showfloor presence and Treehouse Live.
I still have no idea what World's End Club is about, and I wanna have fun seeing how long I can go not finding out at all.
No, stop typing, I don't want you to tell me.
also even ignoring this game, I'm 2 games behind on the Zero Escape guy's games, which is 2 too many for me (even if I know they don't live up to VLR).
@kkslider5552000 Tbh, I've watched all the trailers, gameplay videos, etc. and I'm still not even entirely sure what it's supposed to be. My interest in it comes purely from the pedigree: the Danganronpa games, Ever17 (which this is conceptually reminiscent of with its underwater theme park setting), the Zero Escape trilogy (yes, even Zero Time Dilemma, which was indeed roundly inferior to the classic VLR), and AI: The Somnium Files are all excellent, so it's hard to imagine the dudes behind those properties turning out something that's not at least solid when they're both so heavily involved in its production. I'm not thrilled with it being a puzzle-platformer, but, honestly, Ultra Despair Girls was a third-person shooter and still managed to be one of the better games in the Danganronpa franchise.
I'm going to try out the demo and probably wait for reviews.
@Slowdive i see so we can expect Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild 2 playable and @Gumblevolcano, tommorow or next week seen very likely for Nintendo to reveal it E3 plans.
Guys anyone interested in Resident Evil 5 and 6 for the Switch?
I ordered the Triple Pack today. It is US release and I expect it to come in 2-3 weeks. I only want the cartridge with RE4 and I do not want to make US account to download the other 2. So I will be giving them away here. If anyone interested please tag me here and I will let you know when I have them.
This will be a giveaway not a sale
I just want to know if people are interested ahead of time
@jump Actually that is very nice idea! And I think I got it I will post a link to download the demo of MY game and the person that reached the end of the demo and send me a screenshot will get both games
Or to not get in trouble with marketing my game I will just post the codes here and whoever gets them faster wins
As I have the whole series on Steam, they wouldn't be much use to me, @Zuljaras.... I also wouldn't want to make an American account to download them
Still up for trying your game, though!
