@Solaine I think the best way of describing Three Hopes is a massive Three Houses expansion which has been adapted to include Warriors gameplay and it has a smooth framerate. As for the others:

  • Hyrule Warriors is a celebration of Zelda through Warriors gameplay (Definitive Edition is in my top 15 Switch games)
  • Fire Emblem Warriors acted as a celebration of Fire Emblem through Warriors gameplay though focuses way too heavily on Awakening and Fates so doesn't really succeed as a celebration of Fire Emblem
  • Age of Calamity while acting as an alternate reality prequel for BotW, it's really unstable quite a lot of the time (this game was the first Nintendo published release that strongly suggested the existence of some kind of more powerful Switch)

Not including retro ports of any kind since they’re technically old games(As much as I love them) with the exception of Wii U.

@WaveBoy Most 'ports' of old games feature QoL changes to help make them more palatable on modern platforms, though. If you look at the retro games and collections on Switch, most feature changes that make them a better experience on this platform than they would originally have been back in the day.

I guess for you, then dividing line is the introduction of HD resolutions, rumble, and whatnot?

You guys read about Billy Kametz, the voice actor of Ferdinand in Fire Emblem Three Houses, dying at age 35 of colon cancer?

Sad. Per NintendoEverything,

he played Ferdinand Von Aegir in Fire Emblem: Three Houses and Blue in Pokemon Masters. Most recently, he was Jerrom Laesmi in Triangle Strategy, and he also voiced Ogata in 13 Sentinals: Aegis Rim. In the anime scene, he had roles with the likes of Boruto: Naruto Next Generations and Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba.

@WaveBoy The Mega Man Legacy Collections feature unique gameplay modes. They actually add content. Which is a bigger improvement than HD rumble ever was, IMO.

Anyway, my point was almost all old games feature some improvements when they're brought to modern systems, whether it's increasing the resolution, adding new modes or trophy support, adding rumble, adding controller customization functionality, etc. They're still generally old games that play nearly identically to how they used to, though. Unless it's clearly a remake, or has been substantially altered in the process of being ported, I don't think there's a clean line to be drawn in this regard.

@JaxonH Dying of cancer at any age is sad, but doing so at the young age of 35 is especially tragic.

Unfortunately, the universe doesn't care about 'should's and 'ought's, so we just play the best hand we can with the cards we're given. And considering he already has a legacy to leave behind, it seems like he was doing that to the best of his ability.

LG G1 OLED 4KTV 55" is on sale on Amazon for $1296.99

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08WF8W39N?

To put that in perspective, the C1 (which is the base model most people buy) had MSRP of $1500. I got mine for $1300 on sale.

This is essentially that, but the G1 model instead, which is a higher tier model with slightly better brightness than the C1.

Anyone looking to jump into OLED, this is a good deal. They also have the 65" G1 for $1797.99

It has 4 separate HDMI 2.1 ports that support 4k 120fps, VRR (variable refresh rate, so if you have PS5, XS or PC you don't notice frame dips as the screen refresh rate changes to match the game), eARC for soundbars, and some of the best picture quality I've ever seen. The black frame insertion option helps games feel smoother too. I keep it on low because otherwise it makes the picture too dim, but it helps 30fps games feel that much more smooth.

I plan to upgrade to QD-OLED in about 5 yrs, after I've gotten good use out of my C1. And that'll give time for the technology to evolve first, and prices to come down. Maybe we'll see new tech breakthrough by then as well.

But for the time being, I'm more than satisfied with the C1.

I heartily recommend the 800S, paired with a Creative G6 DAC/AMP to make it compatible with Switch, PS5 and PC. Just run USB to a 4 port switcher and change the input depending on the device being used.

Tbh though, I don't use my headphones much now, as the Sennheiser Ambeo soundbar + SVS-1000 Pro subwoofer just sounds so dang good. Even stereo audio signals sound incredible with the full Ambeo boost effect enabled, on the "Movie" setting with custom edited values.

I'm this close to ordering another just to store in the closet in case they stop selling them one day.

Sorry to hear it. My mother had colon cancer, but had it removed via surgery. It then came back again 2 yrs later, but was once again removed via surgery. 10 yrs now cancer free.

Saw on the news a few days ago a new cancer monoclonal antibody trial has a 100% success rate with every single patient in the trial going into remission after 6 months. Biggest breakthrough I've seen in my lifetime.

@Anti-Matter I haven't seen the Wholesome Direct, but I did go on Nintendo Life's article that shows all the games that were featured on it and I did see some that looked interesting to me. Stuff like Cassette Beasts and Mika and the Witch's Mountain.

@Giancarlothomaz Really sorry to hear about your grandfather...you have my deepest condolences.

BRUH... okay so Silksong just got a new gameplay trailer over on the Xbox showcase. I am without words. Still no release date but holy cow that gameplay was stellar.

@StarPoint Yup they showed gameplay but no release date. It's coming to Game Pass on day 1

@IceClimbers Yeah this is super messed up. Nintendo fans seems to have been loudest when it comes to begging for the games to get a Switch port, yet Atlus has just pulled a middle finger and given them to Xbox instead. I know Microsoft likely paid to have these games but this is just really messed up.

@IceClimbers
Persona has FINALLY broken free of PS. Thank God. It certainly took long enough.

Assuming PC means Steam (which it likely does), this makes all 3 playable with the hybrid advantage via SteamDeck. Not my ideal way to play, but it's a step forward for sure.

I'm actually pretty confident they're coming to Switch too, though. They didn't even announce PS versions, which tells me they're just focusing on the Xbox showcase for now. I'd be amazed if these games weren't also announced for Switch either in the next Direct, or a future date. At the very least P3 and P4
