I'm a physical games box guy but when I see the ugliness of the X-Box One and PS4 games box, I think they really want us to go digital.

That being said, Switch boxes look kind of better, especially with the artwork inside, even if they lack an instruction manual or something.
But the Switch is ultimately the one console where digital buys are more convenient : no easy-to-loose-cartridges needed on the go. Easy access to any game. And the Micro-SD cart is far more convenient than a hard drive on PS4/X1.

So... for someone who loves physical games... this generation is a pretty hard dilemna on that subject !
And this idea of box containing a digital code is as crazy as a smart solution.

I read once that Tetris Effect was a Sony exclusiv but don't know if it's true or not.

@jaymacx Well Street X Tekken was such a disaster, in term of sales and in term of the game itself... It's not hard to guess why it's on hold.

I recognize his face : he also rules today the oceans and Aquaman is his most dangerous enemy !

Glad to see he likes Donkey Kong though. He may not be completly lost.

Well, Fatal Frame is bound forever to the Wii U I guess, like Nintendo Land. Its all gameplay was about the gamepad that you use as a camera.

Bring XBox One X patch enhancement first and then we'll talk about a Switch port. Because you know, respect for the fans is sometimes more important than sales.

... aaaaaaaand no Doom. SAD!

@Triforce79 There you go. Here are all the pictures : https://www.technobuffalo.com/2016/10/29/nintendo-switch-controller-makes-for-a-cute-dog-plushie/

And I'm discovering right now thanks to you that there's a true joy-cons attachment inspired by those mock ups :

😱

@Triforce79 Haha it's just a picture from the internet, that was released a few days after the video of the Switch Reveal, back in october 2016, to mock the controller.
I wish it was a true product too !

@rjejr I have to admit that from time to time, I also miss the second screen. It would be lovely to have it for some games.

But the fact that I can take my home console in the train is just... wow. Imagine doing that with a PS4.

In fact you don't have to imagine it : https://i.redd.it/cpu294zc3vpz.jpg

@rjejr Totally agree. And despite what was said by most people, the Wii U was way more powerful than a PS3 or X360. The ports were inferior because it was a hell of machine to optimize and third party developpers didn't want to spend much time and money on it. So we had inferior versions of Black Ops 2, Assassin's Creed or Batman.

But when you looked at the graphics on some games, you started to see what the next gen would be about : most importantly 1080p and far more better lightning. For exemple, Super Mario 3D World has some lightning effects impossible on PS3/X360 and that we would only see on PS4/X1.

@Darknyht The DNA is absolutly not the same between Wii U and Switch. Wii U was a very hard system to work on for developpers, totally the opposite of the Switch which is very easy.

Bring them on Switch.

In fact bring the whole Nintendo library on Switch : N64, GC, Wii, Snin, Nes, Arcade, ...

It's such a perfect and lovely machine <3

@Cobalt Yeah but Jeuxactu has zero credibility for the players, so...

Are official guides better than this ? (true question)

I never bought any and the depth of Smash Bros Ultimate makes me thinks that could be the occasion.

Oh yes yes yes yes and yes again.
I've finished the original a hundred times on Saturn and can't wait to do it a hundred more.

@Zuljaras I don't say that just because it's gothic. I say that because the whole universe and gameplay should have evolve in this direction.

I still love Castlevania but when I see Bloodstained, they try to make the same game than 20-25 years ago. Imagine if Mario today would still look like Super Mario Bros 3...

@Zuljaras IMHO, the true successor of Castlevania already exists. It was released in 2015 exclusivly on PS4. And it's called Bloodborne.

This is what Castlevania should be today.

8 f#%&ing days !!

I restrain myself for plugging my Wii U back on my tv just to get my smash brose dose. What a junky I am.

WOW WOW WOW ! The Sega collections are known for their approximativ emulation, with lag and other problems like shimmering or sound delays. It's far better than AT Games of course. But if there is progress (PS4/X1 collection is better than PS3/X360/PSP ones), it's still faaaaar from perfect.

And how can we play "perfect" Sega Emulation today ?
Yep, only with M2 work on Sega Ages.

So for those who are asking "why would I pay 6.99 for SONIC in Sega Ages when I can have it for 29.99 along 49 other games ?!?", the answer is simple : you'll never play Sonic 1 with the same pleasure as with its Sega Age version, because M2 succeeded to get back to the original MegaDrive feeling and even better (with new options & cie). And no, you won't have this feeling in this compilation.

Best way to emulate Sega games :
. M2 Ports
. Virtual Console on an original Wii, which is perfect (not the Wii part of the Wii U ! It's broken !)
... and that's it.

For more information, watch this fantastic video from "My Life in Gaming", that explains everything : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1ulA75lVgg

@Saego Exactly !
Blizzard saying there's no plan for Diablo 3 on Switch
Nintendo saying there's no plan for Twilight Princess on Wii U
Nintendo saying there's no plan for Bayonetta on Switch

etcetera etcetera

"At this time we have no plans to release The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword on Nintendo Switch"

... means they can announce it tomorrow and THEN they will have plans to release it. It's just PR usual use of words. Happens often. So no, the dream is not over Nintendolife

No one would have want Dreamcast's Street Fighter Zero 3 as it was inferior to the Saturn port

I bought it both for my Switch and my PS4 Pro, to be able to play it on the go and in 4K on my TV.
First time I buy a game twice the same day.
Maybe the last time.
But it was worth every penny.

Lumines love <3

My geeky dream DLC characters : MASTER CHIEF & KRATOS.
So you can do epic fights between Nintendo, Sony & Microsoft.

THAT would be ULTIMATE.

Good stuff.

I like the fact that they have already decide every DLC character (it means a certain consistency in the roster)

I like the fact that they haven't begin to work on them. It means it's real DLC like it should be done, not "parts of a game removed and sold as DLC".
That's smart. That's how DLC should always be done. Again, it gives more 's more consistency, as we saw with Mario Kart 8's DLC or Smash Bros U's ones.

Doesn't look at all like a fake : the lightning is too perfect.

Even the best fakes have always problems with the lightning, sometimes just in small details.

@Panopticon And if you play it on an Apple TV, you can use a real controller

(I think you can also on iPhone and iPad with a bluetooth controller but we will all agree that no one does that)

@Mogster
Christian Whitehead's version includes :

16/9 picture (and it's wonderful)
Better colors (still faithful to the original)
Tails & Knuckles unlockable
Remastered music (still faithful)
Additional special stage
Debug mode

My favorite treat is the 16/9 option.

Imagine Sonic 1 with the visual and sound panache of Sonic Mania. There you go.

Good job I guess (I love M2) but I still wished they would have released the Christian Whitehead's version instead.

Same for Sonic 2.

If I'm right, this emulation is the work of NERD (Nintendo European Research & Development), based in Paris. We owe them the great screen of the New 3DS, the DS games on the Wii U virtual console, the Wii ports on the Wii U eshop, the Nes Mini and I think the Snes Mini (not sure).

If Nes emulation on Switch is truly from them, no surprise it's a great piece of work.

I want a Parodius compilation on switch. Pleaaaase.

Bring RADIANT SILVERGUN ! ^^

Really lovely trailer !

+1 for being a lot disapointed that this is not the Christian Whitehead remake.

16/9 is such a great addition to Sonic 1&2.

Just to be clear : HD enhancement was introduced with the Wii U virtual console. At 720p. And Nes Classic Mini got the same feature.

I guess the Switch in docked mode will feature 1080p.

Finally ! One of the best fighting game on Neo Geo, with Last Blade 2, Garou & KOF 98 (as far as I'm concerned ).

@Kinoen All Kongs should be in this game as echo fighters. Dixie, Cranky and even Funky.
I'm hoping it will be revelead soon or later.

@OorWullie Well, there's a cut in the video right at the moment we should see the earth is not flat and I'm sure the skeptics around the web (aka idiots) will point that as a proof this video is fake.

@Hyrule And I think it's a great article about a fascinating subject : the crazyness of extreme capitalism in all its glory. And people holding the reigns of that not knowing a thing about a company strategy.

I haven't heard anything about KONG SKULL ISLAND but awful things.
Why is everyone listening to its director about how to direct a Zelda or Metroid or Metal Gear movie ??

Sometimes, a very rare movie is rare for a very good reason 😉
It might be the same for games.

I'm curious to find out.

The debate "physical vs digital" is a huuuuge dilemna for me.
I still love physical games because I love to own a physical library. It's doesn't feel the same to look at games in shelves, than to look at a list of games on a screen. IT. SIMPLY. DOES. NOT.

But the switch is a console so suited to digital games... It's perfect !
I bought Bayonetta 1&2 in digital... I have regrets not to have the physical boxes. But it's still best suited this way.
But my shelves miss Bayonetta's boxes.

HHHAAAAA this Switch dilemna drives me crazy !

As for the idea of digital codes in boxes.. It would be the perfect solution. But I found it mad to have boxes without the game on a cartridge or disc. It doesn't make any sense.

@Hikingguy That's exactly what Microsoft offered when they announced X-Box one console with DRM and everyone hated it. That's also exactly the moment when they began to lose the battle against PS4, 6 month before the release of the consoles in the market.

The first time(s) you play it, it's sure pretty easy to think it's a total mess. I did.
But when you start getting the layer of depth in it, oh boy... you're in for a neverending treat.

PS VR does the same but with a better resolution of 960 x 1080 for each eye (1920x1080 in total).
Yes, you can plug a Switch on it. Any HDMI source in fact.
And PS VR is 249€/£/$ and has its own VR games.

Well...

It'll be the xbox one x version for glorious 4K on my TV screen and the Switch version on the go.

Problem solved.

• Hi, it's your banker !

oups

I guess we're gonna get a sort of mix between Xbox Live and XBox Game Pass, the latter being 100% dedicated to oldies.

I think the 10 nes games are just a tease. I guess the next 10 are maybe something like 5 snes games, 3 n64 games, 1 gamecube game & 1 wii game.

But they would change every month and would become buyable on the eshop after the free month.
That would be great nah ?

We'll have the final word very soon I guess !

I'm guessing it's Diablo 3.

@AlbertXi Disagree Sound effects are too loud on PSP and the four new characters feels out of place. But there is a 2 VS 2 mode (like in Marvel VS Street Fighter) that you can't find anywhere else and that is great.

I just discovered that the best technical version is supposed to be the PS2 one.... which is a CPS2 version of the Zero 3 Upper. So YES Capcom could have include it on 2018's compilation
It's arcade perfect, pix perfect, gameplay perfect, sound perfect.
