@Kienda Stabbing an imp from DOOM five ways to Sunday.

Blah blah blah, WHERE IS MARIO KART 9?!?!?!?!?!

...I still don't care, Epic.

Oh boy... this oughta be fun. (/s)

Oof, was sure this was getting multiplayer at launch. Still, can't complain - I was looking for a decent Switch sim racer, and it looks like I finally found one. (Also, anyone got the car list for this?)

@Bobb Ah c'mon... you always wanted SatAM season 3, right?

Oh boy, I can't wait for Speedy the Porcupine! 😜

@Regpuppy And of those, the only one that can actually be justifiable is GoldenEye due to it being what put console FPSes on the map.

(Also, because 007 is technically a book character, this also allows for Geralt to get in...)

Brilliant work, Sakurai-San... here's hoping it gets even better in the future!

@cryptologous But that means Tekken 7 will have to come to Swi... OH MY GOD YES!!!!!!

@Mrnotultra Physical version has moar gore 😜

Three words: Sonic. Adventure. REMAKE.

@quinnyboy58 But therein lies the problem for Microsoft. They still have a box to sell you at the end of the day... and Switch ports, nice as they are, don't make sense from a business standpoint.

Phil Spencer's 7-Step-Plan for Dominating the Ninth Gen:

1. Be good to Nintendo fans by porting over beloved exclusives.
2. Make sequels to beloved exclusives MS-exclusives of the same quality.
3. Nintendo Fans buy into Xbox Scarlett and/or snag our copy on Steam.
4. Profit.
5. Nintendo fans are thus introduced to more MS exclusives on Xbox/PC.
6. MORE profit.
7. Repeat until PlayStation is dead.

@Ralizah Oh yes. X019 is in London this year... and Banjo is finally relevant again... let's just that these two things are NOT a coincidence.

When what's essentially a re-hash that isn't even out yet has more soul and originality than your take on the same game.... you're doing it wrong.

@1UP_MARIO BUSTA WOLF!!

(I don't know what that is plz help)

Hey, I'll try it.

Good to hear, Feral... can't wait to try it out!

On the one hand, I've seen this song and dance before (Joker, anyone?).

On the other hand... he does have some REALLY powerful moves...

...I'll wait for the next patch before making the judgement call.

As long as they're more on the lines of Doom 64 than Need for Speed Wii, that is perfectly fine by my standards.

Also, why oh why haven't we gotten the PS2-3 GTA titles? Easy money, Rockstar!

1. Reunite with KojiPro + pick up Death Stranding too
2. Revive Silent Hills for everything + don't interfere with the man's process
3. FOREVER PROFIT

@Dodger Wait... female character... confused players... OH GOD NOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

Cool! Now give us Persona, you cowards!

@Dezzy Personally, I prefer the brilliant analysis of the WSJ...

The Gears 5 port looks great!

@chewytapeworm Google's platform for streaming games over the Interwebs via their cloud infrastructure. Pay for 4K streaming in November (or eventually get 1080p for free) and you buy the games a la carte. Lots of big names are behind it - Ubisoft, Bungie, Squenix, Namco, even CDPR - and it's definitely one to watch out for. (I personally think that it'll crash and burn, but I'd love to be proven wrong.)

They finally kill off Ash Ketchum.

Meanwhile, Twitter users now think Trader's coming to Smash...

@Heavyarms55 Spot on. AND they've done the same thing with Star Wars, as if their joke of a soccer game wasn't enough.

@ConanLives Yes... YES... YEEEEEESESSSSS!!!!!!!!!

Uh-huh... just like Nintendo had "no plans" to release new Switch hardware. Or like how Insomniac (now a Sony joint) "always" valued their independence.

Plans change, people. Plans change.

@imgrowinglegs Either DF is flat-out lying, or there's some sort of disconnect going on here.

This being Microsoft... both of these are very viable conclusions.

@gamekill Honestly, that might not be such a good idea. Because then people would want Mario and Pokémon and Smash and... well, you get the picture.

HOWEVER, if there was a dead IP Microsoft wanted to breathe some life into that Nintendo has zero interest in (F-Zero, Earthbound/MOTHER, etc.)… that's where I see Nintendo becoming a bit more lenient. (Provided that it still shows up on el Switch-o, of course.)

Take note, Capcom... THIS is how you port to Switch! Thanks to Saber and CDPR for finally bringing the beast over... can't wait to try it out!

Brilliant work, Phil!

@mike_intv That Microsoft actually values our money.

@FarkyValentine A fellow man of culture, I see.

Just be careful with Tencent, Nintendo... I still don't trust 'em.

Put everything on a cart and I'm there day one, id!

Interesting... might check this out if I get the chance (Doom '16 and Smash still take priority, though.)

@dimi And kill every Sonic remix, fangame, YouTube rip, and PC port?
AND keep classics locked away in a vault to maximise profit? No thanks!

Must... resist... urge... to... pre-order...

Nice, a scholarship I actually want!

Too bad I'm not any good... (cue sad laughter)

@N00BiSH Developed by id Software for no good reason whatsoever!

So... not worth the anti-SJW hype, I assume?

@westman98 @GrailUK DO NOT GIVE SEGA IDEAS!!!!!!!!

@duhsoares21 Don't do that. Don't give me hope.

It might be a new Sonic game, might be something else - whatever it is, I can't wait!

Love this new Joy-Con system you guys got going, keep it up!
