Obviously the publisher has not played the games themselves, or they would know how little sense it makes to release these 2 games without the last game Defiance.
It's the equivalent of re-releasing Lord of the Rings, without Return of the King.
Why do you write (Switch eShop) after the game titles? I think we know they can all be purchased from there. A lot of these games on this list have physical releases as well, which would have made more sense to add instead.
@burninmylight
If you are referring to the Hylden, I doubt only one more installment could end the saga. It would feel rushed if so. Like the final episode of Game of Thrones.
Makes no sense to release Soul Reaver 1 and 2, when it ends on a cliffhanger. Why leave out the final chapter in Defiance which concludes this epic tale?
I never use the joy-cons which is why mine does not drift "yet". But the pro controllers I use all the time and they also drift over time. I find it odd that no one else talks about this. Maybe you all just love playing with those tiny little joy-cons.
Monster Hunter is a very special series to me. I'm 43 now and a third fleeter. I thought the excitement for video games was lost to the ages for me. I played them all the time, but that childish excitement I yearned for was not there anymore. That is until I was introduced to this series when accidentially purchasing Monster Hunter Tri.
I don't play hand held so lost out on 4. But never the less I've been spoilt with so many great games and the fantastic Generations Ultimate. Long live Monster Hunter 🍻
As for the nerdy comments: What the !?@# is wrong with people leaving out Rathalos? He IS Monster Hunter. No series without him. Some cool picks though. I would have chosen Barioth and Agnaktor. Those are just cool and fun monsters to fight. I'm surprised the abe was left out. So many people love to hate him, but fear and respect him. That usually counts for votes.
They are both remakes and of course I was referring to part one, since part two just released. You might be right that we wont see them before part 3 has released and probably not until half a year later at that point.
Lost Odyssey is an odd one to throw in amongst all these well known games. The author must have a special love for it. Nevertheless it's got my vote. It was a great game.
That being said, I'd like to challenge the headline. It should say "What Xbox Games Would You Like To See Come to Nintendo".
I don't think the Switch will see many Xbox Games if any beyond the ones already announced. The new hardware will get these, not the Switch. Grounded looks like ass. Not a great effort bringing these kind of games to Switch and Halo and Gears is totally out of the question. Those will remain as Xbox Exclusives. I'll bet my third testicle on that.
@EVIL-C I understand what you are getting at. I just don't think these games would see a physical release otherwise. But what you want is for them to change their business model. It's not that simple though. Many of these games does not sell enough numbers. Therefore a limited print makes sense. You are right though that the fomo aspect is what drives their sales and that is definitely unhealthy for consumers.
@MsJubilee That's a weird thing to say. They are giving you the option to purchase a physical print, which no one else cared to offer you. At no point are they forcing you. If you're not interested, why does it bother you?
I remember playing and beating Star Ocean - The Last Hope on Xbox 360. It was by far the worst JRPG I have ever played. Because of that I will never touch this series again.
@Troubbble Yeah it's reta**ed since Code Veronica was actually suposed to be RE3 until Sony demanded a trilogy for PS1. CV was for the new generation of consoles debuting on Dreamcast. Even the story is a direct sequel to RE2.
Crawl - is a game that comes to mind, which totally went under the radar. Funny thing is that Nintendolife is actually one of the few sites that mentioned it. And you gave it a 9/10. Good on you!
I don't find the gameplay or the graphics appealing at all. I have seen lots of 30 years old arcade games which were given much more attention to detail. Pass and money saved.
@MaxlRoseGNR
They seriously lost the code? What a bunch of f****** amateurs.
Bandai Namco has seriously turned into s*** biscuits. No wonder Nintendo stripped them of their Metroid Prime 4 efforts and restarted with Retro instead. 🙄
There is a lot of talk about the horrific performance on Switch. But let's pretend the performance was excellent for a second. Yeah, even then... the game looks awfully boring. Sonic died many many years ago. It's time to let him go.
A spoiler is not only telling what is in it. Sometimes it is also telling what is not. Spoilers a lame. Especially in a headline where it cannot be avoided. Yellow card for Nintendolife.
