@Magician@Ralizah I live and breathe fighting games but I’m with Ralizah on this one. Ghost Recon had no right to be that good.

@Ryu_Niiyama@Ralizah Fair enough, fair enough. But lawdy was I hooked on the Street Pass aspect of SFIV on 3DS. That passive combat system with the collectible amiibo-like figurines. I was always chasing figurines with better stats for my favorite characters.
Switch Physical Collection - 1,555 games (as of March 31st, 2026)
Switch 2 Physical Collection - 4 games (as of December 8th, 2025)
@Magician I got a lot of mileage out of those streetpass games Nintendo released on the system. I really wish Nintendo had something similar for Switch. It was especially fun going to cons and just getting conga lines of new streetpasses throughout the day. I didn't even bother bringing games with me on those occasions.
@Ryu_Niiyama Shockingly good. Still one of the best tactics games on the system, to be honest. I'm just glad it released early in the system's lifecycle, since it was only a lack of new releases that allowed me to even consider buying something with the "Tom Clancy" branding in the first place.

Random thought, but with the Direct rumors swirling around, I find myself not really needing one right now. I'm still busy with October's Switch releases and will be for a while, plus I still need to get FE Engage and Crisis Core. Plenty to play right now.
On the other hand, inject that Zelda TotK info directly into my veins please
@Magician how about lauching the Switch sucessor with the rumored timed exclusive Resident Evil(unless, Capcom canceled the game to focus on the Resident Evil 4 remake and the next mainline Resident Evil, Resident Evil 9).
Same here. I've still got Bayonetta 3, Shovel Knight Dig and Mario + Rabbids 2 from Oct plus Fire Emblem Engage and the old Personas waiting to be played. I'd be even more behind if I actually stuck with Pokemon to get to my favourite part of team building for meta battling instead of selling it on.
Still as nice as Zelda is with Sega working on new Crazy Taxi and Jet Set Radio, a new Donkey Kong coming, the LONG time coming of Metroid Prime 4 and Advance Wars finally coming out makes me want a Direct soon.

Wait, what? There's a new DK game in development?

I don't see it happening because it's been a long time since the last Mario platformer so that would likely take priority for that team. Wouldn't be Retro either because they're doing Prime 4.
Ya, I'm chock to the hilt with games. Normally I'm hankering for a Direct by February but this year, it hasn't even crossed my mind. I'm so absorbed in Fire Emblem Engage right now, and still have Final Fantasy VII Crisis Core I'm only 20 hrs into, and Mario Rabbids Spark of Hope I'm 20 hrs into, and Persona 4 Golden and Persona 5 Royal I'm 5-10 hrs into, and the 2nd-3rd playthroughs of Nier Automata which I only did the 1st playthrough of, and Portal 1/2 (beaten these games more times than I can count, but it's been a few yrs and I've literally waited a decade for handheld gyro version to play), oh and Fire Emblem Warriors Three Hopes which was surprisingly super good, and still halfway through Triangle Strategy, and still barely scratched the surface of Splatoon 3 campaign...
Gosh dang. With Kirby and Octopath and Zelda and Pikmin 4 and Advance Wars and... ya know what- just pile it all on top. I'm genuinely curious to see how close to actually drowning I can get before the tide eases up.
Risen Crimson Glow Valstrax looks nasty too, but the killer part is that Risen Elder Dragons will start appearing in Anomoly Investigations. As if an end game Risen variant of an elder dragon crashing the party wasn't enough, monsters like Chaotic Gore Magala will now get Afflicted form in Anomoly Investivations.
Just imagine a Level 220 Afflicted Chaotic Gore Magala and Scorned Magnamalo!!!
brrrrrrr [shivers]
BTW, in an hour and a half, the Velkhana palamute DLC promotion goes live. For 72 hours, those who fill out the campaign info with a Capcom ID gets the miniature Velkana to ride as their palamute
For me a Direct would help structure the play order. So like if TotK is literally just more BotW, while I'll buy it day 1 I'll likely play a bunch of other games first. For example I'd like to get around to playing more FF games.
@Grumblevolcano@JaxonH, since april will end the Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak updates, i wonder which monster will be the final monster of Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak and Monster Hunter Rise in general? Monster Hunter World Iceborne ended with Shara Ishavalda, what monster can top Shara Ishavalda for Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak final monster?
I played the Theatrhythm demo for half an hour. It confirms what I already assumed. That the developer, indiezero, know what they're doing when developing games in the music/rhythm genre. The game is going to be great.
Naturally I didn't want to constantly hear "ping ping ping" with every note input, so I just turned the sound fx all the way down to zero.

Well Bowser's Fury wasn't that long ago. Just throwing it out there but alot of folk were talking about how that game was a proof of concept for the next game however what if that next game was Donkey Kong instead of Mario.
It's not like Donkey Kong is Famicom Detective Club or Pikmin which have managed to get new games despite not being massive. The Snes games were legit huge and when they bother to make actually big games for DK they normally end up doing very well so I can see Ninty going let us make a DK game rather than rushing out a new Mario a series which often likes to take a breather for the next gen.
@jump I recall Miyamoto saying in 2017 that Nintendo prioritized getting Mario Odyssey for Switch year 1 to the extent that Pikmin 4 was put on the backburner. The next Switch won't even have Zelda this time given TotK launches in May so they'll likely have a new Mario as a launch title.
@Grumblevolcano my fear is that after 6 years of development, Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom, is just Breath of the Wild in the sky,after all Tears of the Kingdom started as the third DLC for Breath of the Wild, the same situation of Super Mario Galaxy to Super Mario Galaxy 2(but at least you can tell apart which game are different), so far i have seen no difference that set Tears of the Kingdom apart for Breath of the Wild, just like Super Mario Galaxy 2 did to Super Mario Galaxy 1, or Ocarina of Time to Majora Mask
