If it can help them to bring Ultra Street Fighter Zero 3 on Switch, good. Just do it Capcom !

This is fascinating.

I love the blue shell and can't understand all the hate about it.
It is so fun

@HappyMaskedGuy No it's not an exaggeration.
It's just my humble opinion

@Alikan The second Silent Hill movie has 1 or 2 good moments : but they are all flashbacks from the first movie

I agree about the lack of good videogames adaptations, but I still think Silent Hill is the exception. It was very good.

Real Bout 3 ! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Don't buy Metal Slug 2 : it's full of bugs and framedrops.

Wait for Metal Slug X, its remake without all the technical problems, with better graphics and more.

One year ago : "Go to hell and die Konami !!"
Today : "Oh ok, here are my 30 bucks, Konami."

@Voldemort807 Available games. And existing demos. Last year it was Breath of the Wild. I guess this year we'll have Mario Odyssey.

@Voldemort807 They never do at Japan Exo. But who knows. Old habbits are meant to die

Same here : Altered Beast is awful on the touch screen.

As for the lousy emulation, I totally trust @dark1x.
So...

Unwatchable. This is embarassing.
And I love USF2 and I appreciate a lot Yoshinoro Ono.

Does anybody knows if there would be ANY way I could use my PS4'stick , the Mad Catz Tournament Edition 2+, on my Switch ?

COOL

Fast RMX has very poor graphics compared to MK8.

MK8's tracks are full of moving details, each part of each track being very different from each others (excluding Baby Park of course).

Fast Rmx's circuits are very steady and use the same textures all along each circuit.

So it's kind of normal Fast RMX can have 60fps in 4 player mode and MK8 can't.

So it's kind of

I tried the demo on Vita and my excitement fell very fast. It looks more like a spleep-them-up more than a shoot-them-up

Looks great ! The launch trailer is beautiful !
Can't believe I didn't knew anything of that game....

• Donkey Kong (masterpiece)
• Wonderful 101 (excellent and wtf game, which could be better more easy for wider audiences without the touch controls)
• Perfect Zero Maiden etc (great game that would be better without the gamepad gimmick)

Hoping for View Point, Last Blade 2, Real Bout 2, Garou, Kof 96 and 97, ...

And hoping for the Neo Geo CD music tracks too but I guess I'm asking too much

(And online multiplayer )

They have to understand that a Switch game is not forced to be as beautiful as a PS4 game. The fun part with the Switch is to take the game on the go.

So if they could release a bunch of their next AAA games day and date with the PS4/X1 versions, even if they are less beautiful (as long as they have a constant framerate), it would be a great test to see if those Switch ports sell or not.

If they do that, if those Switch ports meet success, if the other third-party publishers have finally the proof that they can release low-graphics versions of their AAA games on Switch and that they will meet success, then the Switch will be a wide success.

PS : Please Ubi, I'm talking about NEW games released day and date with the PS4/X1/PC versions. If you release Watchdogs 2 for 50$/€ as we can find it for 15 bucks on PS4 since months, it won't make any sense. No one will buy it. So it's too late for For Honor or Ghost Recon Widelands. (maybe it's ok for Rainbox Six)

"I don't know where are the Switch games but I will find you and I will kill you."

as Picross 3D is pretty rare (It's 50$/€ on ebay) and a real drug. I would recommand every Wii U owner to buy it.

@rixard Metal Gear 3 on Switch ? Damned, that's a scoop

@Menchi187 It's on Thursday now, same day as the releases.

@Mart1ndo So am I. It's the only reason I won't buy Metal Slug 3 (and the fact that X is better)

Netflix with an offline mode on switch would make it one of the best version ever !

"The talented team at Shin'en Multimedia have pushed the Switch to its limits"

F**** me, the Switch has reached its technicals limits on day one !!! o___0

Seriously, please, don't write that. Some people might actually believe it.
This game is not reaching the limits of the Switch. If they can do this game today, they'll be able to do far better in the next months ands years. That's the rule.

• Super Mario World 2 > Super Mario World
• Perfect Dark > Mario 64
• Breath of the Wild Wii U > Windwaker HD
• and so on.

Street Fighter Zero 1-2-3 ! Please !

His remark about the Vita is funny ... and relevant in a way he doesn't expect. I personnaly think Switch is the Vita killer. All J-RPGS and indies that make the Vita live are going to get a huge success on Switch I bet. There's already a ton of them announced.

So, even if the Switch has bigger ambitions, I think all the Vita's fans are going to .. well.. switch... to the Nintendo Switch.

@thedicemaster Your comment makes totally sense. Thank you !

Game looks good.

Game's logo is a shameless Yoshi's Island rip-off..

@Yasume The Switch has more hard drive available than the PS3 with 12gb hard drive.

Remember also that all Switch games bought physically won't require more than 1 to 30 Mb of installation, or something like that. It's that tiny. Internal storage is just for DLC and patches.

Don't forget this doesn't include the Day 1 Patch which should deliver some other features.

FEDEX for christ sake !

I tried Mario Kart 8 Deluxe with friends and we noticed it uses the HD Rumble. For exemple, in the Wild Woods race, you "feel" the planks of wood under your tires. "Dok dok dok dok dok dok dok". And it's amazing !!

@Menchi187 Alas....

Let's hope it will be on Switch !

Meh. Castlevania : Dracula X is a great game ... on PC Engine.
Not this poor SNES adaptation.
Come on Nintendo, the PC Engine version was available on Wii VC...

@retro_player_22 That's exactly why I say I would buy a second Switch just for that. To block its firmware evolution.

It would be the ultimate retro machine because you could take it with you everywhere, play on a good quality screen and with great controls. Or play on your tv. It would ´t be as cheap as those retro-console we see in stores, like the retro5 or the one in this news, or the neo geo X, etc etc.

I don't see the point on transforming a Wii U into a hacked retro console. A Raspberry Pi would be enough. They would both lack the nomad functions of a Switch.

You could also argue that my dream retro console already exist : the nvidia shield. But it would lack the physical controls on-the-go that the Switch has.

So I stay on my position : if someone succeed into hacking the Switch, it would become the ultimate retro-console

Am I the only one who dreams that the Switch is hacked and become the ultimate hardware to emulate a lot of old games, from Nes to PS1, like a Raspberry Pi do ? Just imagine that. For one second. With the Switch portable/home concept fully used. With all the controllers possibilities. See what I mean ?

I think I could buy a second Switch just dedicated to that

D-9 / J-9

@wiggleronacid I think Nintendo is listening to its fans since 2-3 years.... and they have been holding their cards for the Nintendo Switch. If I'm right, January 12th should be a fan's orgasm. (hope so !)

The real question is : is there the same awful latency in the famicom mini's games as in the nes mini's ?

An unofficially confirmed rumor (but coming from multiple trustable sources) says from a long time (1 year I guess) that the Switch's dev kits allows developpers to adapt very easily big games to its power. So yes, adapting a AAA game on Switch or from the 1080p to the 720p configuration is not automatic, but it would be very very easy, especially compared to adapting a PC game to a PS4 or X-Box 1.

That easy conversion would apply to adapting a big AAA PC game to the Switch itself. So yes, it would mean that a third party developper won't have to spend a lot of money on the Switch's versions of the games. That includes a Dark Souls 3

And that's very good.

Nintendo asking to stay up until 4am. They are really no longer targetting the 10 years old

@cleveland124 Holy crap, it's a pretty big issue indeed !
I'm very sensitive to input lag, I even own a Plasma TV for that reason. That's pretty depressing.

At least, if there's this kind of problem on the Switch VC, they would be able to update and fix it. On the nes mini, it's dead :/

@cleveland124 I heard the reports about an input lag have been in fact proved to be due to the type of TV you're using, not the Nes Mini itself.

I was there and it was just display. But they were really cute !
There was also Rabbids South Park for exemple (and you can see them in the video). But maybe that's a sign, indeed

(I have great shots of them taken with my iPhone if you want them by e-mail to use in your article)

What was really interesting and is not in the video, is that they showed there videos of cancelled games, including Killer Freaks, for the first time !

@Damo (I just changed my id )

For a real party, with 30 people (that's what I call a party), of course not. But as we gathered with 2-3 or even 6-8 friends, yeah, we can play Mario Kart all night or PS VR as we did this week-end. OK in my case we drink too but I know some groups of people who don't.

(and i'm 37 too) (in three days)

Well the official Nintendo Switch trailer can be funny because it's full of clichés but this parody doesn't do better when it pretends 30 years people don't play video games when they meet, but drink.
So someone could make a parody video of this parody video

(but the toilet thing and cars things are funny)
