@Heavyarms55 agreed.

I didn't buy an Xbox One because I had no interest in it, and all Xbox games come to PC anyways.

@Ghost_of_Hasashi here is the thing though... people (like me) who buy them are looking for novel gaming experiences. The Switch was a novelty for like the first few weeks I had it, now it's kinda the Swiss Army knife of consoles to me. Sure, it's not as powerful, but when you put yourself in a Swiss Army knife position your likely to see a lot more use (sadly I think this is what the PS Vita tried to do and it flopped, almost like it and the Wii U where Switch prototypes from 2 different companies).

That said I'm gonna say this... the Vita is still good, as there are indies I like playing on it that haven't even reached the Switch yet. It's actually a shame that they're locked to a rather niche system to begin with

@BloodNinja frankly I can't wait for the Steam Deck either. Portable Java Minecraft? Portable Surge 1 and 2? Portable Sekiro, Borderlands 3, Devil Daggers and a better Portable version of NEO Scavenger? And the icing on the cake? The PC updates to Risk of Rain 2. Portable PC gaming at the same amount of money I paid for my PS4 Pro... it'd be insane NOT to get one. The only question is what is the maximum storage capacity of a microSD card it will support. I plan to get a 64GB NAND, but if I can use up to 2TB then it's a bit more future proof than the Switch is unless Nintendo pulls out all the stops and pulls a GameCube

I've been a fan since I played Zero Mission on my GBA as a kid. OF COURSE ILL PAY $60 FOR THE NEW METROID, JUST LIKE I BOUGHT BREATH OF THE WILD TWICE, WHICH RESULTED IN $120! If I love it I'll buy it multiple times across multiple systems to support the developer. End of story. The more cash a developer gets the more content they can make.

Yay!! Now I can get this for my cousin and not feel guilty about NOT getting her them and a PS Vita!!

I'm just hyped that they're releasing Metroid Dread and SMT V this year. I wish we can have a Switch Pro (hell, I'd buy it the moment it launches) but at the same time I've already got my dose of disappointment this E3 (no Metroid Prime 4 trailer or new news, no Bayonetta 3 news).

I might just have to try it out.. even if I just read 1 manga from the entire list

I never even bothered to get the game due to it not looking all that appealing, not to mention I primarily play in handheld.

I'd play this but Nintendo is gonna Nintendo

@WesEds the moment I look at the icon if it doesn't look like it'd be any fun I refund it then and there. I like that they're trying to stray away from what's on the box in favor of something different

@Adieus I never played Star Force as a kid and just recently dipped into the first one. That game WOULD NOT work all that well on modern platforms because the UI would clutter everything

@Zeldafan79 that one is considered the worst in the series, but include it in the collection anyway because that's part of series history

@Kidfunkadelic83 I use the browser on my 3DS all the time when I need to quickly look something up. It's a time saver, plus you can use Facebook on a 3DS to recover your Facebook account

@gb_nes_gamer if only!!

@Razer they're also doing it to Valve over Steam

Epic can go do the anatomically impossible if they think they'll get Nintendo to just let them publish their games on PC.

Sony I can see happening, but Epic would need to make their storefront and launcher on-par with Steam before I'd actually spend money to buy a game. As it stands Epic Launcher is weak when it comes to a friend's list and chat service, let alone the ability to gift people other games. These issues alone prevent me from buying the PC version of Kingdom Hearts for my sister, and would keep me from buying ANY game that becomes exclusive to the service. Another thing is that Steam serves as a launcher for ALL the games on my computer, even if I didn't buy it from Steam. Epic Launcher cannot do that

@AvianBlue Other M is garbage compared to the entire Metroid Prime library, as well as the 2D offerings. They stripped back the exploration aspect and that alone makes it not worth playing. I'd take Metroid Prime Trilogy on Switch, as I've not been able to find a cheap way to play it outside of emulation

@BulbasaurusRex technically the dock is the sensor bar

@LXP8 there are people like me who want to play the original Trilogy and the only way possible outside of emulation is to pay out the nose for a Wii disc or pay out the nose for a Wii U.

Frankly I'm about to just say screw it

@TAndvig I'm an American and view video games as art. Do I like all art? No, and to me that's perfectly natural.

I agree with you though, if you view/listen to art you should be able to accept what comes with it

To be honest I prefered the OLD icon, as its disturbing and messed up nature fit with how the game is. I'll miss the old icon

Carrion was a fast run through monster land for me and I LOVED it!! CrossCode is my second game that I picked up and I love it too, ever since I played the demo on PC as a 12 year old!!

@Sakaixx the only SMT game to come to PS was SMT Nocturne (Lucifer's Call in Europe) and personally I'd like to see a dual release of the series on PS/Switch. I'd also like to see SMT on Xbox because then I could introduce my father to the series (but Atlus doesnt release many of their games, if any, on Xbox).

@thecowgoesmoo87 hell yeah, that's the original reason I bought a Nintendo Switch!! I'll keep waiting though... and counting the seconds until SMT V comes out....

I'll give it a go, looks great

YAYYY!! I get to revisit this game

I'm not buying/playing another Persona game until I get the next mainline Shin Megami Tensei. Either Atlus recognizes the demand for their flagship franchise in the West or they make Persona their flagship franchise and let Shin Megami Tensei die out

CrossCode I had on PC and so will be buying on Switch for OTG play. Wish they would port the rest of the Dark Souls trilogy and possibly Bloodborne to Switch to tide me over until SMT V and Bayonetta 3's releases

Interesting... why not give it a try?

Cant wait... I'll be watching for the release to go alongside Wizard of Legend, Dead Cells, Risk of Rain 1 and 2 and Binding of Isaac!!

FINALLY!! CrossCode on the go!!

@SwitchVogel I'm happy with the current software release. The quality is way better plus we get things like Dead Cells, Risk of Rain 2 and Hyper Light Drifter on the go. Quality over quantity

Personally I love my Switch. I mostly play handheld and tabletop but the option to put it on the TV is great for when I'm watching Hulu of YouTube. Personally I'd like for the next system to keep the hybrid nature and detachable controllers, but have the detachable controllers not suffer from disconnects and drift. Also to have a second screen for handheld play

@Roronoa11 RIP Miiverse... it will be missed! And tbh I stopped caring about YouTube on 3DS now... or 3DS in general.

@SheldonRandoms they released flipnote studio as a members only download, unfortunately you cant share them online which sucks!

@Fandabidozi most of us do, but that was a sore spot at Blizcon. I wanted Diablo IV, not Diablo Immortal and the crappy touchscreen only controls it brought with it

As for YouTube, I still have it on my 3DS, and it will stay there

@Tantani yep! I watched the original Fullmetal Alchemist on my 3DS as a freshman in high school during my free time in class. I remember one teacher literally pulled up a chair and asked that I set the 3DS on the desk for him to be able to see better. Good times!

@FX102A Indies, you say? Binding of Isaac is great, but if you want a great story and you have the Switch, hold out until they release Undertale for it. THAT GAME ALONE... that'll be the reason I sell my GameCube for the Switch right there!! Downwell is actually an indie, you can get it for cheap on mobile platforms or on Steam. The PSVita version comes with the PS4 version free, runs about $5. I'm still looking for new indies, personally. I'll keep you posted!

@Fake-E-Lee Pixel Dungeon on iPhone is good, but get it on Android. You get it on Android, you can get the forks. Also, on iOS, it'll run you $3, vs. on Android it's free. Downwell will run you $3 either way, but its great!! I wish they ported it to the Nintendo 3DS (not limiting it to the New 3DS, but allowing it on the old 3DS as well, so then I can get it before I have to upgrade.)

@Fake-E-Lee Do you have an Android phone? If so, have you heard of the best rougelike on the planet that has many forks known only as Pixel Dungeon? Give it a try, and you want a mix of rougelite and Metroidvania, Downwell would be a suitable fit

I happen to be playing Metal Slug's PS1 port, Bayonetta 1 on the Xbox One (possible, as you can play certain 360 games on the One,) Downwell (PC, PSVita, PS4, Mobile, I WISH IT WAS ON THE NINTENDO 3DS...) The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth on Xbox One, Terraria on 3DS, Minecraft on PC and Switch, Pokemon Emerald on my GBASP (wish they remade that one, too) Shovel Knight on 3DS, Attack on Titan: Humanity in Chains on 3DS

@Alundra-1998
GOD, I wish I had some of those!! You have a chunck of my childhood in there! I remember playing Crash Bandicoot when I was 4 on my older stepsisters' PS1! Regretablly, she sold it off with all of her games before I could buy it off of her and got a PS2. I got my PS2 when I was 10.

Like I said, I got FFVIII and IX. On the PS2 I managed to find FFX and FFXII (Collector's Edition [Complete with manuel, Bonus DVD, and the original tin-like case.]) As for the rest of my PS2 games, I managed to get Quake 3: Revolution, Need for Speed Carbon, Atari Antiology, Pinball Hall of Fame: Gotlieb Collection, GTA: San Andreas (NOTE: MY COPY HAS BEEN PATCHED, making its rating go up from Mature 17+ to Ao,) Thrill Kill (another Ao-rated game that I had the luck of finding one of the beta discs for on eBay. It's really a PS1 game.) There are a few that I can't name off of the top of my head, and honesty I doubt that since my little sister touched my PS2, I'll get most of my collection back, let alone the console itself.

@Alundra-1998 I'm looking to get a disc version of the game, and to get Alundra 2 on disc as well. Because honestly, even though I have the digital, it might as well be like playing it on an emulator (cause lets face it: even though its from the PSN store, it's technacally emulation unless you play it off of the original disc. That and put it with the fact that I'm collecting PS1 games and it goes great!! So far, I managed to find hard copies of FFVIII and FFIX. Put my PS1 collection with my PS2 collection and I'll be even better, cause despite not having a PS1, I have a PS2 slim that I got when I was a kid still lying around, as well as a PS3 that I built out of parts of 3 PS3's their respective owners just wanted to chuck in the garbage. Alundra is a GREAT choice for PlayStation games and collectors alike, yet I have YET to see MetalJesus make note of it. So sad!)

@Alundra-1998

N+ (if you like platformers. I'd be careful if you pick this one up though. It starts out easy, but it gets insane pretty quick as some levels and even some of the episodes require pixel-perfect jumps.)

BTW, I got a PSP just to download and plaay the PlayStation classic that is Alundra. It's pretty much a Zelda clone, but it's a preety good one at that!!

Thanks for the memories, my trusty 2004 Nintendo DS (R.I.P.)

And countless more. Thank you for the memories, Nintendo!! I'll be looking for Nintendo DS games, then, just to get the ones from my childhood. Also, being able to turn my 3DS into an MP3/MP4 was genius!! I use my 3DS as an MP3 player, and it's great!

Just don't let the Nintendo DS line of systems fade away, make sure every gamer in the future at least knows about it!!

You guys begging for a Switch version is just agging me on to sell my GameCube!! I'd have to sell THAT as well as my 3DS, PS2, and PS3 in order to even get the Switch!! I'm glad they're putting it on the 3DS, cause now I'll finally get to play the original Luigi's Mansion!! I'll also have to tell my friend, thepokemonmaster360, because I owe her for her letting me have her copy of Pokemon X after she moved on to Omega Ruby. I still wish they remade Emerald for the 3DS, though. I'd rather have Theta Emerald than Omega Ruby or Alpha Saphire, just to get extra difficulty like in the GBA version of Emerald.

In fact, Nintendo, as a last hurah! to the Nintendo 3DS before it finally dies, and you pull it from store shelves, PLEASE, oh please make a Theta Emerald Pokemon game for the 3DS!! I'd love to go back to being a 5 year old and being aable to brag to my friends that I beat the most difficult version of a game!!

@sillygostly Major performance issues? They aren't so major if you start playing it on the original 3DS, in fact you kinda get used to it by now. But then I'm one of those people who don't care about lag as long as I'm not playing the game online or if the game I'm playing isn't a shooter. I HATED playing Resident Evil on the original 3DS for that reason! IDK, though. I'm looking into upgrading to the N2DSXL (I don't use the 3D function, it kills my system faster and hurts my eyes, which is salt in the wound when combined with myopia.)

I'm one of those people who STILL have the classic CTR-001 model of the Nintendo 3DS, and other than the system erroring out and having to restart once or twice while playing this, I honestly had no issue with it. I don't really stress having a game a 60 FPS (unless it's an online game or a shooter,) so not having the newest hardware isn't to big of a deal for me. The thing is though, this version of the game on the original 3DS is on-par with the PSVita version, and would be a better version to play for nomadic players (I don't know about you, but I don't want to haul my Xbox, PlayStation, Wii U, or PC around with me on my back, and I did that before in highschool for game club.) I guess what I'm trying to say is that this version is great on the original 3DS despite what they say in this review. This review is also outdated, in that now you hve 6 character slots and 6 world slots to play with (which is good, considering I introduced a 9 year old to the game and she got so hooked she started swiping my 3DS for days at a time on vacation to play the game.)

The downer to this version on the original 3DS, though, is that the control scheme will offer more challenges. Only having one analog can kill, and it gets worse if your hand cramps while battling the Wall of Flesh before Hardmode. Other than that, great version, if you don't mind people thinking your a little slower and don't really use the 3D feature (this game doesn't display in 3D, and even then, 3D kills your systems battery faster!!)
