Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

@Buizel
Same. I think it'll come. Most games get rumored a year or more before announcement (Okami HD for Switch, Assassin's Creed Rebel Collection, etc). Ppl forget about it and then... bam! It gets announced.

We'll see though.

@Budda i live in Brazil, the problem is that the mininum wage here is $270, plus we have one of the worst tax policy of the world, making everyting you buy it, extremely expensive., half of you buy in Brazil is taxes around 50%/70% on the product price, is a madness here.

@Sisilly_G same thoughts over here. I'm also very close to buying the booster pass or whatever it's called. But yeah, give me a new game in the same engine or a 2d outing and I'm golden. Why has it been this long since we've had a new mario title aside from BF? Hoping the direct solves that issue.

@JaxonH oh boy a Bravely Default collection has me licking my chops. I've thought about getting the first 2 but they're still up there in price.

@JaxonH Apparently the Bravely Default DLC pack is the only 3DS Theatrhythm DLC not yet confirmed to be coming to Final Bar Line which is a bit suspicious.

@Grumblevolcano @NintendoByNature
Indeed.

Square Enix likes easy money. Wouldn't surprise me one bit to see a collection announced

inb4 we get a presentation filled with dope new games, but people talk about how awful it was because some Gamecube collections weren't announced.

@JaxonH My prediction is that we'll see Disney Illusion Island again. It's a 3rd party exclusive that's supposed to be launching this year, so it wouldn't surprise me one bit to see it here. Fully believe it's a Spring or Summer title.

Honestly for me I just want TotK info. Everything else is gravy. That being said if we get remasters of Prime and Uprising I will be absolutely ecstatic.

The only things I'm really expecting are release schedules for some of the September Direct's N64 games, and some TotK info. Beyond that, I'm taking my usual precautions of keeping my expectations low.

Possible leaked game from the Direct.

@jump I think that's real... Looks it anyway.

I think for the most part as long as MK8 Deluxe DLC wave 4 is present, the Direct is a success for me.

@Grumblevolcano Same for me but with Splatoon Season 3/DLC honestly (though I'm intrigued as to what Wave 4 of the BCP has in store after being thoroughly impressed by Wave 3).

Any third party ports people are looking forward to?

I'd love to see Vampire Survivors hit the Switch. It looks like a perfect fit. So much so that I'm shocked it's not on the console already.

@Ralizah
Only Batman Arkham Collection and Mass Effect Trilogy. But I've given up on Mass Effect Trilogy. EA and all that.

For the most part, Switch has gotten all the 3rd party ports I wanted. Ori games, Portal games, 13 Sentinels, Persona 4 Golden, Persona 5 Royal, Nier Automata...

Maybe Sniper Elite 5? Ya, definitely Sniper Elite 5. That's my chosen port. I'm sure it'll come eventually, but even if it doesn't, Sniper Elite 4 was good enough to last me the rest of the gen, not to mention Sniper Elite 3 and Zombie Army 4.

There's always ports I forget about though, and then when they're announced I'm like oh ya! Forgot about that! Right on! We'll probably get at least one of those.

@Ralizah I'd be over the moon if we got Star Wars Battlefront II Classic.

One of my favorite games ever.

@Fizza Yeah, it's pretty much that I have so many single player games to play that all I need is updates on the multiplayer stuff. Wave 3 is only 2 months old and people have already seemed to mostly return to picking tracks that have been in MK8 for 8-9 years.

I'll be honest, 3rd party games could stop being released on Switch going forward and I'd still never get around to a lot of the ones I want to play on Switch, and I haven't paid much attention to anything not confirmed for the system that would have a reasonable chance of being ported.

So I'm gonna say the one I said Capcom should've ported to the Wii U back in the day, Strider 2014. I wanted to play it then, I'd still play it now.

I've long given up on it ever coming, but I still want the Disney Afternoon Collection. They're a collection of NES exclusives, for goodness' sake!

In terms of wanted remasters of older games, I'd LOVE to see a lot of the older PS1/PS2 survival horror classics. Games like Fatal Frame, Silent Hill, Resident Evil: Code Veronica X, etc.

For that matter, why did Eternal Darkness never get re-released on anything? That game's awesome. Pure cosmic horror. One of the only GameCube titles I'll never part with.

@jump What's with the random image of Snoopy just standing there next to the sega logo (not that im complaining)?
