Final Fantasy XV (pleaaaase), Rayman 30th anniversary, Disney Afternoon Collection, Castlevania Ps2 collection (a girl can dream right?), Lufia 2 remake (why not!) Aaaaand Chrono Trigger Switch 2 edition. Oooooh and some new NSO games would be nice!
@SBandy1 well I am genuineley sorry my post is readable that way, because it really wasn't meant that way. I just meant people who say Nintendo is a cash grab company. I think I stated: where are the "Cash Grab Nintendo" people now. Really not in reference to a stance about this game, and I am sorry if it came across that way, that was certainly not what I meant. Hope that resolves this issue 😊💖
Well, I said I'm old, not mature. And I'm not fron the UK, so that explains a lot, thank you for informing me! Cool name! And I wasn't saying it's a win, I just called out all the people who are saying in general (not this game specifically) that Nintendo is just a cashgrab company, who never gives anything or for not much money. That they don't care about the players and are just in it for the money. Which, of course theyr are also in it for the money, like I said: company, but I think this is a nice little free boon for an already really nice game, for which I admit, I trple dipped. Bht that's not Nintendo's fault, they know we want the stuff, so they sell us the stuff. If no one wanted the stuff, they wouldn't be able to sell the stuff and would do somerhing else. So I think it's nice to see Nintendo just being like, you already bought the game, here's a little something for ya. They could ask 5 euro's for it or make it a timed exclusive or Ubisoft system, but they didn't. And I like that. Call me a fan girl (I admit, I totally am) but I lived through the era where it was a really tight game if Nintendo were to go belly up, and every Nintendo win is a win for me. They keep bringing my life joy, and I support them doing that.
@SBandy1 it was a great game, which played perfectly fine. It's a free switch 2 update with an extra character. I don't really know what you are talking about, but still. And if you don't have the cash and it's too expensive for you, don't buy the game. Nintendo is a company, not a charity.
The indent was there for the on switch on top to slide over, ensuring (I think) the cartridge to not be removed when the power was on. Or just a design flaw that the on-off switch needed the room where the cartridge was. I miss that old thing.
Cogratulations!!! I love this website and have been here for the better half of it! I check it daily and once there is some Nintendo news, I run to this website to see what you wrote about it and I always cone to you for the reviews! So here's to the next 20!!! 💖🏅🎂
As a Pokémon Blue Starter, (Bulbasaur btw), I don't agree. I LOVE (!!!) ZA. Dreaded Arceus actually. But I also dreaded Diamond and Pearl (yes, the original ones). I guess it's what you think about Pokémon as a franchise and how you translated the pixels into your fantasy. For me, ZA is exactly the animé and how I translated the pixels from blue into HD. It has sidemissions, little storylines of Pokémon and their trainers, an overarching storyline, I LOVE it! Same with Scarlett, played it for many hours and gotten multiple Pokémon to level 100. If you want my 2 cents, it's the sheer amount of AMAZING RPG's on Switch. When Blue came around, on a handheld, there were like... one, there was Pokémon. On the hybrid system, which also has all the console games the amount of great games is astounding! So for the handheld gamers, the pickings were way slimmer back then. But now, you have SO MUCH (which is great). But then Pokémon becomes a taste, instead of "what's the game to play of you want this type of game". Some like the taste, some don't. But when all you have to eat is brusselsprouts or rocks, you're like WOW BRUSSELSPROUTS, but when you have an exquise dinner buffet you're like ewwww, Brusselsprouts... I hope I articulated that al comprehensively and please don't throw rocks at me now.
I just really, like REALLY, want Final Fantasy XV on the switch 2! Like, NOW. Oh and Lufia 2 for the SNES library. Not that that's specifically switch 2, but, just putting it out there! 😊
I just saw the Japanese Direct and that leaked 2d-hd farming game actually did show up. So maybe that's a Japan exclusive for now?
I was hoping for a western release date for Proud Nordics (which also was in de Japanese Direct, the game, not the releasedate).
Also they got footage of Demon Slayer 2 and Dragon Quest 1+2 HD remake and the news that part 3 is getting a switch 2 free update.
I should have just watched the Japanese direct apparently...
It's really something! It's like games suddenly have the air to breathe and claim the space they need to function. It's like a remastered version, eveb though it's the same game. Same wirh Pokemon Scarlett. I am loving all of this! I am so happy!!!
THNX FOR THE REVIEW! It looked so good, but I was waiting for the review to know if it JUST looked good. But knowing it's also a solid play, I will insta-buy! 😁😁😁 (I love castlevania games!)
What a beautiful story! Thank you for sharing! Gaming can be such a profound part of our lives (I know it was/is for me) and it's beautiful to see how games can touch peoples lives and be a crutch for a broken soul so it can heal! Once again, thank you so much!
As a gaming oldy, I'm.so happy to finally see the original Metal Gear Solids on a Nintendo Console. It feels like redemption. And also see my beloved Super Mario RPG in a beautiful HD remake. What a time to be alive!
OMG OMG OMG ALL ABOARD THE HYPE TRAIN!!!! Can't wait! Perhaps we will see the new mario game Shigeru teased? Some metroid perhaps??? New GBA games??? JEEJ!!!
@Toshiro_Baloney ph no sarcasm at all!!! I love the Darksiders franchise and I particularly loved the 3rd one!!! I put many hours into it and it was the first game springing to mind after I read the article, so I thought, apparently that's my back-log GOTY!
I guess my favorite (which is very hard to pick) is the Earth Temple from Wind Waker. I love the mirror puzzles and I have very fond memories of that dungeon. A very close second I guess is the wind temple. Gosh, I love Wind Waker, now where is that Switch version...
OMG it actually says Lufia!!! I LOVE THAT GAME! That's the game that turned me to RPG's. They should make a remake of it (even though it was remade for the DS, but that was not the 2,5d HD remake I want to see).
@anoyonmus right??? I was hoping Konami would announce it at gamescom and then they didn't and I was terrified (as if Dracula himself was right in front of me) that they had cancelled it. But here it is again! Now they should go and resurrect Drac... Old Castlevania games already!!! 😊😊😊
Gameboy with Tetris that my dad bought while on business in HongKong. Aaah, the good old times. I was sooo tiny! And hooked. Started playing when I was 4 or 5 years old, never stopped.
This looks utterly AMAZING!!! Been looking forward to this came for quite some time now, I'm happy it's gonna release so soon now! It looks just.. Cozy or something, yet adventurous. Lovely!
The first stages of Castlevania Dawn Of Sorrow (and the rest of the game about half of those times) and the Fairy Glade from Rayman 2. Aaaah, Rayman 2, they should soooooo remake that game!!!
Why, just why? When Games like Lufia I and II are not on the switch, Illusion of Time/Gaia, Terranigma, Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy's all missing, we get JELLY BOY? Jelly Boy??? JELLY BOY??? No, Nintendo, NO! BAD NINTENDO!
I hate to say it, but I'm gonna say it. Gonna buy this instead of a switch OLED. And I'm gonna play the bejeezus out of it. And probably won't touch my switch for a very long time. The update on OLED should have been internal hardware, not just the screen. Nintendo blew it, thinking thwy had the monopoly. If I were Nintendo, I'd be freaaking out right now. You're not gonna sell the 5 year old console with just your first party games. They have to develop a pro. And quickly. Or they're gonna lose this entire thing.
