@Vyacheslav333 It likely can...but I think they would rather GTA Online ran flawlessly than compromise with Switch limitations for every update they do for it. The 360/PS3 versions eventually shut down GTA Online while the other versions carried on after all.
Can see it happening on Switch 2, but I think that depends on their plans for 5 once GTA 6 comes out.
Seems weird Nintendo doesnt put the OG ROM up on the Switch App. They already have releases from Square and the Tetris Company so it should be okay...?
@RainbowGazelle About 7-8 months ago I walked out with a ton of XBox games for 98p each at my local GAME.
I have no idea why they were so cheap, they were popular titles like Mass Effect Legendary, AC Valhalla, The Bayonetta/Vanquish steel, just to name a few, and they were not used as a couple were sealed and the rest had all their included DLC codes working!
You could put it down to the XBox brand not doing so well or stock clearance but goddamn.
Needless to say if they do close down, the sales are going to be insane....
Probably more likely we get that Warzone game then get the annual entries on Switch 2 next year. Unless they just give us an older one. Hell, maybe this entry will be a launch day title.
....would it be much to ask for a mode to play all 13 games as intended (Start to finish)?
I know we have the Switch Online app....just you know, nice to have a physical collection for these games on Switch. I don't think its much to ask as opposed to asking £25/£50 just for challenges and a multiplayer mode.
NGL, I grabbed the Pikmin one the moment I saw it as it goes for silly money.
Sadly it looks like to me the Squishy Metroid one is never coming back in stock. I get its down to the squishy plastic, but would have been nice to grab one...
I walk into my local and every time, the same toys are still there, mostly overpriced or not marked down enough (You tell me if £56.99 is a great deal for the Chun Li Power Rangers action figure.).
It's Super Mario Bros' 40th Anniversary next year.
I would think maaaaybe they're saving SML1 for that since there are not many big hitters of Mario left (Besides adding Gamecube/Wii/DS etc. to the Switch 2'S Subscription service.). Add DK94 and SMBDX with SML1 and you have a hefty trio for next year or whenever they start the anniversary stuff.
And you wonder what's taking so long to add the classic Pokemon games to Switch Online (Besides thinking of a way to make money off them and adding Home support).
Return to Arkham set (Asylum + City) would have been plenty.
If you were REALLY insistent on having Knight, this is probably a case where a streaming version might have been the better choice. Yes, no one likes those, but the machine on the other side could at least run the game...
Its an interesting choice for sure and one Konami can milk for multiple collections.
Translation will be the issue. They are just GBC/GBA games so far but that still means translating every monster/card name and character in accordance to the English dub of the anime and game.
@jump Got a giant score of Xbox games for 99p each from my local one a couple of months ago.
You'd think they were preowned but no, all the day one edition/DLC codes worked for all of them, and there were a lot of em so it couldn't have been pure luck.
I think that'll start to happen more often as the excuses like profits going down from the preowned exit pile up and they decide to either close stores and put them all inside Sports Direct stores, or become even more a toy shop than they already are.
That said while it is sad to see new games no longer sold widely on the high street, I would most certain keep an eye out in-case they just attempt to get rid of stock at crazy low mark downs.
@WiiWareWave Multi region DVD Players are extremely common. Heck, you can look up your player model and chances are there are codes you perform on your remote to make DVD player region free.
Also Germany have quite a few Pokemon blu rays the US doesn't that include the English dub and work on a UK blu ray player.
Secondary console, extra storage space, plus I like to see the games that push the hardware on the actual hardware. Not the same if Switch 2 can do it in its sleep.
Unfortunately, they'll bail out of the project with Sony, enlist Philips as a replacement, bail out with them but allow them to do a movie or 3, and that's how we get The Faces of Evil the Movie.

Re: Nintendo President Says Longer Game Development Cycles Are "Unavoidable"
But they are the masters of rereleasing older games for ports or remasters so they'll always have gap fillers.
Roll on the Gamecube, Wii and 3DS remakes/remasters!
Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's NES Library With Seven More Games
Alright, what have you done with the real Nintendo?
There's no way they'd take THIS long to rerelease Urban Champion, they love rereleasing that!
Re: House Of The Dead 2: Remake Gets Rated For Switch By The ESRB
@ShonenJump121 Chances are, they signed the deal to do 1+2 as they were both announced at the same time.

GASP, better hurry and spend my checks........79p!
Re: Rumour: 2K Secures License To FIFA And Will Develop The Next Game
I mean hey, competition is good.
EA can't get lazy with their Footie games if someone else is making a football game with the same scope and budget.
Re: Resident Evil 6 Has Sold Over 1 Million Copies On Nintendo Switch
Thats the power of RE4.
That triple pack sure boosted its number.
Re: Activision Officially Announces Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6
Probably more likely we get that Warzone game then get the annual entries on Switch 2 next year. Unless they just give us an older one. Hell, maybe this entry will be a launch day title.
Re: Nintendo Announces Acquisition Of Shiver Entertainment
Seems like a win win situation.
Don't have the budget to port your Triple A game to Switch 2? Nintendo could do it for you.

Re: Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition Launches On Switch In July
@LinktotheFuture Well, you could just mod the collectible cart into a functional cart then put the rom on it.
Re: Rumour: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom First Anniversary Surprise Planned
Shame they didnt add any DLC like bring back the powers from BOTW to combine with the TOTK ones for more mad experiments.
Or even just one up the bike.
Re: Inti Creates Announces Gold Collection, Three Games On One Physical Switch Cart
@RupeeClock Ya know, so much came out to the Switch eShop it's easy to forget what did and did not. XD
Re: Inti Creates Announces Gold Collection, Three Games On One Physical Switch Cart
Well what do ya know, Mighty No. 9 made it to Switch after all.
Not his game but the character anyway. XD
Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's N64 Library With Two More Titles
I mean hey, they're finally expanding the 3rd party library outside of Rare at least.
Re: My Nintendo Store UK Restocks Over 100 amiibo Figures
@GravyThief I'm sure the Pikmin one was going for about £70-£100 at one point, although CeX currently listed it at £40.
Re: My Nintendo Store UK Restocks Over 100 amiibo Figures

Re: Staff At UK Retailer GAME Reportedly Facing Redundancies

It really is on its last legs.
Re: F-Zero 99 Is Getting A New Update (Version 1.3.0), Here's What's Included
I mean hey, least milking the GBA games will mean at least 2 more updates down the line (GP and the Japan Only Climax.)!
Re: Resident Evil Creator Shinji Mikami Gets Back To Work With A New Company
Now he can finally make the sequel he's destined to make, Goof Troop 2!
Re: Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2 Game Line Up Hasn't Been Decided "Yet"
My guess would be what bonus games outside of 4, 5, and Peace Maker haven't been decided yet, like the MSX and NES games of the first.
Re: Soapbox: As Splatoon's Online Wraps Up Nearly 9 Years On, How Does It Compare To Splatoon 3?
Was thinking I could max out to Rank 50 before the servers would shut off recently.
6 hours+ to get from Rank 30 to 31.
That ain't happening.
Re: The Super Mario Bros. Movie Is Returning To Cinemas This Year
Whatever it takes to dethrone Frozen 2.
Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's Game Boy & GBC Library With Three More Mario Titles
It's Super Mario Bros' 40th Anniversary next year.
I would think maaaaybe they're saving SML1 for that since there are not many big hitters of Mario left (Besides adding Gamecube/Wii/DS etc. to the Switch 2'S Subscription service.). Add DK94 and SMBDX with SML1 and you have a hefty trio for next year or whenever they start the anniversary stuff.
Re: Balatro Removed From European Nintendo eShops Due To Ratings Switch
And you wonder what's taking so long to add the classic Pokemon games to Switch Online (Besides thinking of a way to make money off them and adding Home support).
Re: Batman: Arkham Knight Still Runs Poorly On Switch Despite Massive Update
Return to Arkham set (Asylum + City) would have been plenty.
If you were REALLY insistent on having Knight, this is probably a case where a streaming version might have been the better choice. Yes, no one likes those, but the machine on the other side could at least run the game...
Re: Nihon Falcom's Original 'Ys' RPG Arrives On Switch This Week
....maybe hopefully the Turbografx can be the second Switch Online console from another company so we can have that version of Ys?
Re: Konami Announces Yu-Gi-Oh! Classic Collection For Switch, Launching This Year

Re: Konami Announces Yu-Gi-Oh! Classic Collection For Switch, Launching This Year
@NCChris They're doing the whole "We'll announce future titles later!" drip feed thing.
Re: Nintendo's Switch Online Service Spotlights Donkey Kong With New Hub
@SwitchVogel Oh they would, they would since they have extra content.
GBC port of DKC too, King of Swing, NES Classics DK, quite a bit they can put out before DK64.
Re: GAME Apparently Ending Physical Trade-Ins From Next Month (UK)

Re: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's New Spirits Have Been Revealed, Out This Week
Hints of fighters for the next Smash maybe?
Re: Pokémon TV App Is Being Discontinued Later This Year

Re: Pokémon TV App Is Being Discontinued Later This Year
@FishyS Or you could buy the DVDs.
Re: Rumour: Microsoft Will Bring Critically Acclaimed Exclusive To "Competitor System" This Year
A Switch 2 launch game could be a good showcase of what the new hardware can do, depending on what it is.
Re: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom's Master Sword Twist Was Decided Very Early On
The part where Zelda opens her eyes to reveal the dragon eyes is still pretty haunting.
Re: Review: Batman: Arkham Trilogy (Switch) - Two Solid Ports, One Technical Disaster
Just offer separate purchases at this point.
More people would be willing to pay $10-15 for the good ports and MAYBE pick up Knight for a laugh when it goes down to $5 or less in a sale.
Re: Nintendo Is Launching An 18+ N64 Switch Online App In Japan
Huh........this how we're gonna get Conker and Resident Evil 2 64 perhaps?
Re: UK Charts: Super Mario RPG Can't Jump To The Top Five In Its Debut Week On Switch
I guess if most kids could only pick 1 Mario game in the time frame both came out, they picked Wonder.
Re: Talking Point: If 'Switch 2' Is Backwards Compatible, What Will You Do With Your Switch?
Keep it.
Secondary console, extra storage space, plus I like to see the games that push the hardware on the actual hardware. Not the same if Switch 2 can do it in its sleep.
Re: Sony Is Co-Financing Nintendo's Live-Action Zelda Movie

Re: Super Mario RPG Switch Is Getting A Physical SNES Style Instruction Manual
These would be great MyNintendo rewards.
Re: Talking Point: Nintendo's Still Making Them, So What amiibo Do You Still Want To See?
Xenoblade 2 cast, but likely have to wait for a XC2 Definitive Edition I guess....
Re: Talking Point: Which Old Track Do You Wish Had Made It Into Mario Kart 8 Deluxe?
Wario Colosseum and Double Dash Rainbow Road for me.
Re: Talking Point: "This Is Only The Beginning" - What Should Konami Do With Metal Gear Next?
Probably reboot it after Volume 2.
No point adding stuff to Kojima's story without the guy. That's how you get Survive.
Re: SanDisk Launches Mighty 1.5TB Micro SD Card Compatible With Nintendo Switch
@Giancarlothomaz I mean what else could it support? They're not gonna make gamers carry round external HDD. XD
Re: SanDisk Launches Mighty 1.5TB Micro SD Card Compatible With Nintendo Switch
Just as I was planning to buy a 1TB next month.
Guess I gotta find extra pennies.
