I salivate for all the stability looming on the horizon.

Maybe Nintendo can add in portible saves, browser and virtual console in one of those updates alongside that glorious stability, since if they don't Homebrew certainly will.

So this is the new feature for Gen 8.

I guess travelling through space and time is a better power for a cat then hovering about four feet above the floor in a radio station bathroom.

Can't wait to see this practice get rolled out into main series games. /s

Hopefully it will be interesting and possibility fix some of the balancing issues that have been around for ages.
I am not looking forward to the possibility of Pokemon data being irrevocably tied to one switch console, outside of bank.

Those creature designs are pretty cool, maybe we'll see them or something similar get it's time in the sun in another game. On the other hand am glad they chose not to go with the alien motif in Breath of the Wild, it could have been a shark jumping moment for Zelda.

Yes. I need more 3d platformers, and getting a chance to play Spyro again on my switch would be very welcome.
Definite buy if this is correct.

@AlexSora89

Awesome.
Couldn't really open the video, mobile at work

Nice to see these games have not been forgotten, and maybe mark a return to form for Spyro after becoming a Skylanders set piece for so long.

Hope that Stewart Copeland's music is intact, it really added a lot to the original 3 Insoniac games.

They should have just used a proprietary port.

Fawful.
King K. Rool would also be good, need more heavies and/or villians.

Kind of ironic, blocking savedata access to deny this kind of access will probably end up premoting it.

Glad to see they've not forgotten about Wario Land, it has been far too long since its last installment on the Wii.

I really do hope this trademark is foreshadowing an entirely new game, and please Nintendo, don't hand this project off to some c-list developer like Arzest.

Mandatory downloads for game functionality with physical media really should be against the developer TOS, outside of things like updates for online multiplayer games..

Awesome game, and one of the best alternatives to Binding of Isaac if you are looking for something like that.

Also it is overflowing with gun puns and nerdy references.

Really enjoyed playing through Skyrim and its expansions several years back and may pick this up.

Also, don't kill the chicken from that first screenshot...

So, do the hackers have access portable saves now?

I should be really excited for this, superstar saga was one of my favorite GBA games...but from what I've seen so far, the changes made to this make it so flat, contrasted to what a breath of fresh air the original was back in 2002.

Finally, I can live out my lifelong dream to play a Mario game as a (re)animated pile of meat.

If this game can manage to incorporate the difficulty curve from Galaxy (maybe shift the ratio a little more to the tough challenges for my taste) Super Mario 64 openness and that number of collectibles/missions, it will be amazing and I will just love it to bits.

Great game, mixing roguelike and rhythm where the player and enemies are made to move to the beat of music done by Danny Baranowsky.
Picked it up back when it was still an early access title, which reminds me that I actually need to finish it...

Plot twist:

Odyssey will contain a minigame in which you have to prevent piranha plants from giving Mario purple nurples.

Guess that rules out me getting a Switch anytime this year if that supply problem persists into the holiday season. Camped out with a pack of scalpers way back to get a Wii, and no matter how good Mario Odyssey is, am never doing that again.

A very bad game? Would not go that far myself, but for me, the game was vaguely disappointing.

That feeling probably stems from setting my expectations too high back then...it was the followup to the hugely influential Super Mario 64, and while this game had many memorable moments and cheerful music, it wasn't able to live up to that for me.

The camera really never bothered me (having a control stick to move it instead of buttons made it easier most of the time) but some elements of the game felt unfinished and in need of some more work and tweaking, such as the scene transition on the hotel level. In Super Mario 64, Mario would have been fully animated opening the door and walking in, and have been able to exit once inside. In Sunshine, you're just warped inside after talking to the Pianta and cannot leave unless you restart the level.

Glad to hear that this turned out to be a good game, since it sounded like a total train wreck of a concept back when it was still only a rumor.

@AlexSora89 Ah, so the bit where Misty's bike got trashed was from the first episode too? My memory has gotten hazy of a lot of the show...can't really remember Misty being with Ash when he first went to the Pewter gym.

@AlexSora89 I would expect to see ho-oh here if they were trying to recreate the anime story, it did make its debut in the very first episode of the anime, and had reoccurring appearances later on if my memory serves me right.

Haven't really cared about the anime for ages, and the retconning of one of my favorite characters (Brock) from the original story makes me care even less.

That's a pretty nice lineup of games from such a legendary console, missing a few, but with the number of amazing games the SNES had released over its run, is not too surprising. Gamers who missed out on these are in for a treat.

Guess Nintendo finally got in contact with whoever owns the corpse of Argonaut and ironed out ownership of the FX chip rights, because it sure is nice to see that Star Fox 2 is getting to officially see the light of day after all this time, that being the thing that really makes me want one more then anything else. Hopefully the emulation will be good, since if it is not perfect (the music particularly) then I'd rather play on my original carts.

They had better not underestimate the demand for this. Maybe offer a channel to buy it from them directly and things more difficult for the army of scalpers out there lurking?

Superstar Saga is an awesome game and definitely worthy of a remake.

That art style is kind of off to me though...too sterilized and not as exaggerated as the original material.

This makes me very happy Nintendo is not going to just leave this venerable series to gather dust.

Hopefully it will turn out to be an original game comparable to the first three primes, not a rehash or reboot of them, and avoid the character issues from other M. Have to wait and see when more info gets released/leaked.

Yeah...I want that game.
That hat mechanic for controlling things looks like it could be used in so many creative ways.

Has the Switch become a fad like the Wii experienced?
Unless it has, personally think speculation like this is premature and kind of silly.

Make no mistake, I think the Switch will DEFINITELY be a successful console in the long run, but unless it has its price reduced to around where the 3DS is sitting, bonkers sales numbers are going to be a ways off.

My one fear is they're going to try and replace the 3DS with it still at its current price, which could alienate a lot of people who are unwilling or unable to spend that amount of money on a game console.

If that is true, the game is going to need some new textures.

Pure, concentrated nostalgia..

Hard to believe it's been 16 years since these gems released.

Kind of too early to tell much about it, but hope it is similar to Black/White 2 in terms of the changes to the game. I did really enjoy White 2 and the ease of leveling up pokemon in white tree hollow. Solgaleo and Lunala wearing Necrozma like a mask isn't as interesting as Kyurem's transformations to me though.

Meh. Maybe I'll try this game out later on when I get a Switch.

I'm surprised the paint could actually be abraded off the buttons like that.

Why....?

Evil army invades. That provides many opportunities to craft situations for the characters to interact in different ways. Maybe throw in some surprise motivation for the evil army to spice things up.

I'd just like to play a new Advance Wars game.

@NEStalgia

It's likely from overexposure, much like what is happening with Minions now. Never did play any of the Rabbids games myself, but can remember them being everywhere during the Wii era.

I hope this game turns out well, but can't really say I've got much interest in it currently. Maybe it will be surprisingly good for such a weird concept in the vein of Smash...just does not feel that way to me with the available information.

Well....that looks awkwardly ugly.

Yoga balls huge!

Wonder what kind of glitch sky drop will cause next.

So many choices...

Personally, I'd really enjoy seeing Fawful added to the game. He could be such an amusing middle/lightweight fighter with moves pulled from Superstar Saga and Inside story.

Other then that, more heavies, less swordfighters, more maps, balancing etc.

Those patch notes have added a bulwark of stability to my life.

Competitive can be interesting, though what can ruin it for me is if the balance is off with an objectively "best" way to play a game, degenerating an otherwise enjoyable experience into a boring spam-off.

Definitely the Switch game I'm most excited for.

@Dakt
How did you know? My uncle, who happens to work at Retro, has spoken of the project on occasion.

He's said the entire game has been designed to be driven by motion controls - shooting, jumping, running...it does it all, and that hd rumble lets you feel your remaining bullets without even having to look at the screen.

Really kind of confused as to why Nintendo continues to trust Arzest with its IP's.
