The first two Doom games and 64 only let you aim horizontally and in that case, ya, it's not the best. I appreciate it but, aiming on one axis isn't really a problem that needs solving.
Quake, on the other hand, is like Duke Nukem 3D and has full 2-axis aiming with gyro, not just horizontal. So it really does make the experience substantially better.
@JaxonH Still blows my mind that the Disney Afternoon Collection still hasn't come to the Switch. It's a collection of NES ROMs, and literally every other major platform has access to it.
I wonder if this will ever get a release? I'd love a physical copy. Did it get a physical release on other platforms?
I saw some trends about games for kids on Nintendo Switch and other consoles recently.
Looks like MergeGames, OG Games, Microids, Team 17, PQube, etc are the publisher who published a lot of games for kids and casual gamers.
Kudos for all of them. 👍
We need more games for kids on Switch and other consoles.
I'm with Jax. I'm not sure what about the DF video upsets you, Cactus? The Steam Deck is a low powered PC gaming platform. It shares the same problem the Switch is experiencing right now, compatibility and performance with newer games will be a concern a couple or few years after launch.
Switch Physical Collection - 1,558 games (as of April 7th, 2026)
Switch 2 Physical Collection - 4 games (as of December 8th, 2025)
It doesn't make sense why Nintendo's promoting games not playable on the Switch so much (Metroid Zero Mission, Metroid II and Metroid Fusion) but on the other hand the GB/GBC/GBA remakes on Switch (e.g. Link's Awakening, Advance Wars 1+2) probably wouldn't have happened if GB/GBC/GBA was coming to NSO.
@Grumblevolcano
They're not promoting games, they're sharing history for those who may not be in the know. They're releasing Metroid 5, and to promote that game they're referencing Metroid 1-4 to fill people in on the franchise history. Nothing more.
@Grumblevolcano Just because they're not on Switch doesn't mean they just exclude them from being mentioned
Dread is a canon sequel to all the 2D Metroids. Of course they were going to mention the games that came before it. Not everything has to be some sort of corporate level cross-promotion with games that have to be on their current platform

@Grumblevolcano Nintendo is showing the previous Metroid games, because Metroid Dread is a sequel to all previous Metroid games, they want everyone want to know about the games that released before Metroid Dread.
I was already excited, admittedly, after recently discovering WarioWare Gold not long back. I was originally under the assumption it was shovelware and never gave the series a second glance. But after playing WarioWare Gold on 3DS, I realized it was anything but. Smooth Moves on Wii was even better.
So I was already excited. BUT. I had my doubts about controlling characters and whether it would be able to offer the same level of variety and engagement.
Turns out, not only is it every bit as fun as previous entries, it may even be better. Controlling different characters brings a lot more variety to the gameplay. You can play the same mini game a dozen times and get a different experience each time. And the large cast of characters, with each mini game mixing up which one you play as and having to remember how each of them controls, makes it that much more challenging and interesting.
This game is even better than I’d hoped.
