@mesome713 Virtous are known to have done the ports on this and borderlands. It's does mention them when the games boots up. Both outstanding ports which gets my goat when people bash them for outer world's.
@Yenkman They could corner the market as seen as EA just throw us scraps. The thought of a true on the go football game makes me giddy. Would even settle for Mario Strikers at the moment.
Derek Zoolander: What is this? A console for ants? How can we be expected to teach children to learn how to game if they can't even handle the console?
It's going to be a title that will improve with patches. My son is desperate to play this with me but not going to be able to due to working through till second week of June. See the little spud for half hour in the morning and not back till after his bedtime. Do get updates on how well he is doing on his 2DS though.
@mikegamer grab the free PC version and play that then. I've sadly got borderlands games on Xbox 360, PS3, Xbox one, vita and PC (acquired on a humble bundle and like BioShock got upgraded.) Switch versions were a no brainer still as portable and can have a blast in bed or on break in work. The value is subjective to each person. To me I can't wait to plough more time into them.
@bl4ckbl00d Hence it's poop. Still like it as it's borderlands. Switch version is lightyears ahead of vita. I have got a PSTV that does make the vita version more bearable with proper controllers.
Loving borderlands on the go. Then again I've also got BL2 on the vita that runs like poop and I enjoyed it. All titles look and play really good on switch.
I remember having Prime and Wind Waker on the cube. Amazing games that time has been kind to. Trilogy on switch would be nice. About to play Wind Waker HD again on Wii U (between the last tomb raider game and animal crossing.)
Like a lot of people on here I think dead space trilogy (hell even throw in the mobile game I still have installed on my phone as a bonus) is perfect for switch release. Mass effect. Garden warfare would be excellent. An actual sequel to plants Vs zombies without horrid microtransactions (I know it's EA.) A popcap collection! So many great casual popcap games!
Thought my switch was dead a while back but found a HUGE bit of green fluff from my son's favourite cuddly toy in the charging slot. I am however ready to change the fan and thermal paste this weekend when I finish work. Release switch starting to sound like a helicopter even on games that aren't taxing. £20 for all parts so cheaper than getting back to big N.
Love me some Streetfighter. Would love some more games from capcom. So many great IP that seem to be going to waste. They are knocking it out park with res evil but would be great if they focused on other properties as well.
Fixes controller issue. Would love proper update notes instead of just stability. Would stop all those annoying stability jokes or people questioning why yet another useless update.
I can see it from others perspective but for me this is perfect couch co-op with my wife and son. Have got it pre installed on my Xbox one though so no switch version for me this time.
Basically everything I've wanted porting is coming. Just need Arkham games and red dead and I'm a happy bunny (and of course anything Nintendo want to port over.)
I miss the playable Nes games from the GameCube version. About as much as I miss. Loved it in the day but the changes they've made since make it so much more enjoyable. Posting fossils away to be appraised! Spent half my playing time doing that! More content added the better though. I sound like a stuck record but DLC fits perfectly for this game. Drip feeding new content. Nothing worse than that sense of pride finishing a museum collection followed by the realisation that there is nothing new to find. Keep it coming Nintendo!
That artwork is great. Would love this to have come to fruition. My current self isolation gaming is spread between Animal Crossing and 2D platform games (when I can get my son away from ARMS.)
On a side note 4 days left! Then back to the front line... Cabin fever big time.
@dethmart we can but hope. Nintendo will have the big guns out for NOT E3 to combat the next gen consoles. June ain't that far away for what would have been E3 so happy to wait though. Busy paying Nook the crook back for my extension while self isolating (son and wife suffering with cough and temperatures. I'm symptom free!) so animal crossing will keep me busy till a ton of games drop on 29th May.
@Zuljaras These are games I've wanted for ages as ports (just want batman Arkham asylum games now) so if I have to have them a couple at a time on my switch I'm happy. Plus got a 200gb as knocking about somewhere as a spare. Eshop it is then! Bring on burnout paradise as well.
I changed jobs in January and have started working in a doctor's surgery. I can see why this spreads so rapidly as we are still getting people in with cold like symptoms despite all the advice to stay away and self isolate. People are not paying attention. People didn't take things seriously. People are filthy creatures who need telling how to wash their hands (come on people.) People are now in panic when calm heads prevail. Every day I'm coming into work and new guidelines come up. This could and should have been avoided. But this isn't the first time and isn't going to be the last time a virus does this. Just want to say to all here to keep calm, wash (just honestly it isn't hard) and hope you all stay healthy. Off now to get coughed at by the general public...
Well I love it. Melting this old grumpy gits heart. Something I can play with my son instead of making a Lego set for him to kill it while playing with it.
I've been lucky with my launch switch. Had the disconnecting issue but they happily repaired that. My mother in law's however had drift. It was out of warranty so fixed it myself. Possibly one of the easiest repairs I've done. Still believe Nintendo should have been doing this for free from the beginning. I've never had issues with Nintendo customer services and once could have kissed the chap who sent me a GBA micro faceplate from his actual desk when I couldn't source any.
Don't care when it happens but I'm desperate to hear that lovely "And it's available after this presentation" on something completely surprising. Love me a shadow drop. My window of opportunity has gone for watching it anyway due to work. Was lucky enough to watch the AC direct on my annual leave.
Got this and would love an updated version. Lovely book. Shame the Amazon delivery driver took a nice chunk out the packaging leaving a dent in the top left corner. Might read it again.
@Darlinfan Didn't think of it like that. Like if my family where held hostage and one of the demands was an autograph of Billy. I could deny ever buying one...
I picture in my head a drunk millionaire, kabab in one hand, sat in his boxers and half squinting with one eye to focus on his monitor while he puts his highest bid in. Putting a winning bid in only to think wtf the following morning...
Now take millionaire out of that quote and it's how I got an autograph of the actor who played Billy in gremlins on eBay. To this day I have no idea why I bought it. Well apart from the raging session I had on absinth.
I started this on my one x and my 4tb HDD went pop. Thought I would wait till switch release to continue it. From what I played it was good. Shame the screeching noise from my HDD as it died still haunts me to this day...
I've never had a problem with stability updates apart from the name. Would prefer if they came out and actually said what the back ground fixes where or just full on said sometimes "anti pirating measures." When they say stability it means nothing to the end user. Still have hopes update 10 will be the big one with actual features for the end user. I would love something other than black and white themes. Hell would even take grey as a third option at the moment.

Re: Nintendo President Says More Switch Games Are Scheduled For Current Period

Re: Nintendo Switch Has Now Sold 55.77 Million Units Worldwide
I like to think of a lot of the games as not ports but delayed releases on the switch... Okay they are ports. But we've had some cracking ones so far.
