That's fine, Save The World mode isn't entertaining enough to warrant a Switch release.

@MasterJay Nice! Thanks for the info, pre-ordering this one after the Nintendo showing.

That's fine, it's just 15gb. Not even half of my SD cards capacity. I don't know what world people live in where they think storage capacity isn't going to be needed on Switch. It plays games, not demonic incantations that perfectly stream games to your Switch.

And then come the armchair developers pretending like they know anything about....well, anything.

I'd get the Starter Pack as long as the toys don't actually have to be mounted to my controller to be used in-game. Would love the Arwing + Fox McCloud as a collector's piece.

The limited release is probably the oddest bit, but it also sounds like a perfect way of testing their emulator on a small scale. Hopefully this is brought up during E3 as an upcoming emulation initiative.

Maybe they meant throughout E3 is when the info will keep releasing? Like a stealth game mode or something...oh well, who knows lol.

Mmm, Ikaruga was arcade heaven back in '01, can't forget to add it to the wishlist. Loved Treasure's Bleach games on DS, really fun and original.

It looks so good, will be there on day1.

I liked it on XBO but am not keen on paying that much for it, so will wait til the full free-to-play release.

The base pack should be $10 at most, with less available characters. If FortniteBR releases at E3, completely for free with a $10 buy-in for a BattlePass, they're toast.

Holy crap....Samurai Cop?!? I need it now

This is a great little announcement, looking forward to about 3 of these titles.

This is an easy win Pokémon Company, just keep that stuff optional. I understand how motion controls are needed if 2 people are using 1 joycon each, but just give us the option of full manual control.

There are lots of ways to play a Switch, so that means games need more robust options. Forced motion control messed up lots of gamers during BotW's shrine puzzles.

I'm guessing this may do great in Japan. Can't justify that price for a matching game though, demo was alright.

Unless they're on deep discount (gog and steam sales), I usually save my money around E3.

Got it on PC and always loved this game. Cannot wait to have it on Switch.

I play Fortnite quite a bit across XBO, PS4, and PC. Rarely ever run into people using voice chat, and when I do theyre just playing music or screaming at people so they get muted.

It's essentially for those looking to get into eSports.

I found FortniteBR to be a fun time waster, but every fight boils down to building towers while hopping and shooting. Crazy Justice is actually what I'm more interested in, mostly because of splitscreen, crossplay, and a story mode.

Looking forward to playing both on Switch.

Nope. Global Internet bandwidth is nowhere near a stable level. Even if every country vowed to stabilize it worldwide, it would take 3 or 4 console generations to complete. Then when finally put in place, it'll still suffer from input lag.

And that's if we completely ignore games evolving into much more demanding things over time.

I'm not seeing how he's any more sad than before, maybe comparison images would help...

I honestly love all these random gameboy camera projects. Been keeping a lot of them in their own folder

I like the idea of going back to basics, so am completely on board for the Let's Go games. It's pokemon, this is supposed to be about folks from all walks of life getting together to train, battle, and trade.

Quite a few pokemon designs from gen3 to present are pretty crappy and they likely didn't get the best feedback from Z-moves in Pk Sun/Moon. Hopefully re-exploring the first couple of generations inspires them to come up with even better Pokemon and mechanics.

Already played through a Steam copy and awaiting my Switch download code. Love this game, so glad they decided to make this spin-off.

The co-op and combination with PkGo make this something I really want. I'll go with Pikachu mostly because he looks funnier in weird outfits

...kinda wish you could just choose a starter Pokemon though.

I played through a good chunk of this on XBO and will gladly double dip for the Switch version with this news.

I'm completely on-board. Tak is my homeboy!

Simon Belmont would be a great addition to the roster. Same goes for Bomberman

Personally, I'd like to see Miriam from Bloodstained and a lot of other indie characters make the roster.

It makes complete sense to me, you can't hack a console then continue leeching off their online service with the same user log-in and expect no repercussions.

@spaceboyscreams And they could tinker with custom-built PCs or raspberry pi's all day if they want. Stop pretending like hackers are selflessly bringing cloud saves to the system..they just want to get things that cost money, for free. The "Robin Hood" argument doesn't apply here, it's more "steal from developers, give to yourself".

Haha, it's an actual coat! Ridiculous but pretty cool to see fan-made gadgets like this. Reminds me of the weird inventions from Wallace & Gromit

@Whalehome hey, thanks for the heads up! I may jump on that BB deal. Not too worried about the DLC for now.

Yes please. I'm totally amped for this and the main Bloodstained game. Cannot wait...just send me the codes now Inti!

Would've picked up Mario + Rabbids for $30, can't really justify paying more than that when gamestop has a pre-owned version for the same price.

Ooh, I'm up for it. This is a day1 buy, the multiplayer is going to be too fun to pass up.

Can't wait for my code to come in, this is going to dominate my lunch time

I would love this to be true, but also keep secretly hoping Star Fox Zero (and Star Fox Guard) get re-released on Switch with regular control options.

This does make me even more excited for E3 though!

Nice! I'll be grabbing both, just need to get the previous Gunvolt game for Switch before playing this new one.

I'd only be getting it for cloud saves, which is not worth it. Don't really have an interest in Nintendo's online games, the headphone problem, or SNES games with some tacked on online component.

Lack of VC support was the breaking point, and them offering select SNES games directly opposes the "oh, they're just moving on" argument. They simply hid it behind a monthly fee instead of the ability to carry those purchases over.

These are awesome, I'm a big fan of low-fi photography. May attempt this for a photo shoot one day

@SmaggTheSmug Don't think you read my comment right. Nearly every indie/3rd party/retro game outside of Nintendo is available for PC/XBO/PS4 and usually at a much cheaper price.

I was happily going to shell out more money to those devs for the same games on Switch...but this news makes me want to invest in Switch software less. Still picking up new Nintendo exclusives though.

Lame. Switch quickly went from a system that I want all my indie/3rd party/retro games on, to just picking up the big offline-only Nintendo physical releases whenever they happen.

Was planning a major buy-up of a ton of eShop games for my birthday. Now, it all reduced to just Mario Tennis Aces until they reveal the rest of the years lineup at E3 (SSB and NMH).

This was the best Steam/GOG commercial Nintendo could ever produce

Was so excited for this, then heard about the lack of midi control or import/export. It's now just an amusing walled-off music app rather than a DAW.

That's expected with how well it sold compared to anything else on week1. Love all the extremely near-sighted comments though, they make me laugh.

Doesn't matter that it dropped under a very well-received highly rated game that deserves good sales....especially when the powers of basic math reveal that Labo is still outselling God of War there by nearly 80,000 units:
God of War total: 105,125
Labo total: 182,227

And that's without counting all the supplemental kits that Labo sells. Only fools can't see the forest for the trees.

It should be around in some form forever, so long as they keep making it more affordable. Easiest entry into a wide variety of games. Things got 3D, AR, motion and sound controls for cripes sake.

@gatorboi352 You may not see it that way but this funnels back into parents buying multiple Switches for the kids. Nothing is wrong with a gaming console also releasing educational tools and nothing says the console has to be exclusive to either pillar.

@thegamesquid ...Except it's already happening: https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2018/04/uk_schools_want_to_bring_the_cardboard_creativity_of_nintendo_labo_into_the_classroom

I work in the same office as an educational computer class in America and they've already explained it to parents who are excited to test run it in the classrooms. If you can't see the educational potential in this, then frankly you're blind. After seeing the recent video, kids are excited to understand what it would take to control a wheelchair with just a Switch and Labo kit.

Calling this a failure based on less than a week of sales and adults reviewing it solely as games with really weird Ikea-like controllers...lol

The kids (or parents of these kids) going through coding classes, or robotics, or that have any passing interest in interfacing software with cardboard-ware (heheh) are the targets here. If Nintendo continues in the right path, those people will be around forever making unique things and programming them.

The person expecting a 30min build time as if this were a $5 Lego set with the sole purpose of playing the included mini-games...are doing it wrong.

Absolutely awesome. The potential of Labo is huge and I'm glad folks are interfacing it with everything in every day life. So cool.

I feel all their mobile games should work like Super Mario Run. Pay once and you get the game with no gacha crap or lootbox shenanigans. SMR is the only one I still play.

Furthermore, with Switch selling so well and a projection of 20million sales for the next year, that's where they should focus everything. When Voez released, I thought we would be getting more touch-only games on Switch that don't require joycon. Hearthstone, Super Mario Run, Arkanoid vs. Space Invaders...all of these should be available on Switch so they can funnel smartphone owners back to their dedicated gaming console and make current Switch owners happy in the process.

I'm going to guess it's something new, don't think remasters/re-releases would warrant an E3 reveal.

@diwdiws Nope, those are the same system in different color schemes. A 4pro is not just a ps4 in a different color, it's updated on the hardware level and costs a whole $100 more.

Siiigh, counting 2 different pieces of hardware as one SKU is not painting a proper picture of sales. Started happening after Kaz was given the boot, maybe lump in TV and Walkman sales too

I'm not interested in playing any of it, but absolutely love the idea and especially how they designed the boxes and floor spaces. Labo is going to need a larger area at E3

Wow. There's nothing for me to pick, because everyone picked all of Sega's best games. I'm now getting nostalgic with Master System, Genesis, Saturn, and Dreamcast.

I think VC isn't dead, just changing into different things. Would be pretty annoyed if nothing else happens with the Wii/3DS/WiiU VC games we've already purchased though.
