Can't wait until they release Nintendo Styrofoam for $90, the fangirls here will go nuts.

You won't get them anyway. Sega has been re-releasing the same handful of games over and over again for quite some years now.

@electrolite77 Name some more Switch games than those 7.

Didn't know the DC first 2 year library was filled with four year old Saturn games.

The DC was a powerhouse and years ahead of it's time. The Switch is an underpowered console with a weak line up of games, unless you're really into 2D indie titles like you.

@electrolite77 You named 7 3D games on the Switch and half of those are Wii U games.

@electrolite77 Are you seriously bringing 2D games in the mix? Really? C'mon son. Get outta here.

Dreamcast has more games running at 60fps than the Switch. Facts

@Slim1999 the Wii U had a better line up the first year. Facts.

Lol lol lol omg rofl lmao

@Old-Red Because they are. Look at the comments on this website. Every dumb Wii U port and crappy indie game is celebrated as a day one purchase

Well, how many animals did you guys catch since 1997?

If only the Switch was nearly as powerful as the PS4/Xbox One.

Then every Switch version would be the superior one. Now you have to choose between 60fps 1080p on the PS4 or the portable but inferior Switch port with a lower resolution, 30fps and a higher pricetag.

So the Switch ends up being the console you get for the Nintendo exclusives.

@LaytonPuzzle27 They banned drugs from sports with a reason though: because you will keep winning.

And Austria didn't even qualify...

When wanted Radiant Silvergun for your birthday and your mother showed up with Rival Megagun.

Yakuza 0 was the best game of 2017.

What's unlucky about that? And why would you call the police?

Limited Editions are tacky as hell these days. Just some ugly posters/stickers/books. Not worth the upgrade and not special.

The Street Fighter 15th anniversary was way better:

That's how you celebrate an anniversary

@BulbasaurusRex Breaking a licensing agreement is not illegal, it just does that: it breaks the licensing agreement. So they can block you from their services or brick the console. Maybe it's different in the States, but here in Europe it sure as hell isn't illegal.

Besides, pirates don't steal, they copy. Stop using nonsensical metaphores. It's not the same.

And remember, if you don't get caught it's not a crime /Jadakiss

Killer Instinct is an underrsted gem on the Gameboy

@BraveBiT Emulated games run janky? You can play Goldeneye in hi-res widescreen 60fps if you want. Mario Galaxy in 4k. Most of the N64/GC/Wii games look worse on the real hardware.

@BulbasaurusRex Homebrew isn't illegal,, now you're just making stuff up. Besides, companies do a terrible job at preserving games. And then there are games like Bound High for the Virtual Boy, Propeller Arena and Half-Life for the Dreamcast: unreleased games that were finished and leaked.a

Hacking a console give you the best of both worlds. You can still buy games legally or try before you buy. And then it also opens up a whole new world of possibilities. Even piracy has it's uses. You expect people to buy a second Wii U from Japan just to play Puyo Puyo Tetris or Taiko no Tatsujin? Or American Dreamcast owners to buy a second DC just to play Shenmue 2?

Hell naw. Pirates have more fun.

I just went to a bookstore, grabbed a book and took photos of every page so I could read it on the airplane to Tokyo. I bought the ticket with the money I saved by pirating.

Piracy rules.

@FinalFrog not if you're older than 65

I don't respect the n00bs that are anti hacking. Those are the kind of people with an Acer laptop with the stickers still on the palm rest. The kind of people with a Hotmail email address. The weird people who were still buying CDs when you could download every song. They type Google in the search bar of their browser and click on the first result.

Hacking is awesome. I don't need a multinational company telling me what I should do with the hardware I bought. Cry me a river.

Some cool hacks from the past years:

• Gamecube games on Wii U,
• Injected Virtual Console games (Rhythm Tengoku GBA ftw),
• Region free Wii U,
• JAP dub and original outfits in Xenoblade Chronicles X,
• Mother 3 translation patch,
• Shenmue Undub,
• Smash Bros Project M,
• Dreamcast scene that is still alive and kicking, with unofficial releases (homebrew) every few months.

Stop telling other people what they should do. You don't like fun? Then don't hack your device and keep quiet. Sshhhhhh

'Rolling the Cage' is a reference to Rollcage? That game was amazing on the pc. Too bad a 18 year old game looks more smooth. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXfbo9JPM9U

Smooth? This looks like a Powerpoint slideshow. It's so choppy it gives me headaches

@YANDMAN Wii 2 HDMI is around $5 on DX.com with shipping included

@KoopaTheGamer The problem is that all those dumb games look the same. Boring black foreground. That gimmick was fun the first time. But after Limbo, Nihilumbra, Badland, Toby The Secret Mine, Hero Of Many, Oscura Second Shadow, Liyla And The Shadows Of War, Mahluk: Dark Demon and so on, it's just creative bankruptcy

After 8/16 bit retro 'inspired' graphics, these Limbo 'inspired' (and by inspired, I mean stolen) graphics are the most overdone. It's funny how indie games are less original than big budget titles these days.

Got this one for the GBA (Famicom Mini collection). It sucks.

This will be released on the same day as Super Mario Kart Maker

By the time the Switch version is released, you can cath the superior PS4 version for 20 euro on sale

@Mgene15 Looking at your avatar, I'd rather see a new 3D Mystical Ninja Starring Goeman

Rare is dead. Buying the company was a mistake caused by inexperience on Microsofts part. Microsoft was new to the console market and needed exclusives for their first Xbox, so they threw money at Rare without even looking. All talented coders already left by then. There is a reason Nintendo didn't acquired the company. They knew what was going on there. Microsoft bought an empty shell.

And the intellectual property wasn't that great if you really look at it. Banjo is a generic bear, Joanna Dark a generic girl. It were the games that were great, but the characters weren't that unique.

@beazlen1 If you look closely, you'll see it's the save screen.

This was the biggest disappointment of the year. Hype announcement trailer, comeback of NMH.... And then it turns out to be a basic top down slasher.

Switch has no game.

@SuperTeeter64 The Wii one felt low budget and gimmicky.

Wario Ware Smooth Moves was amazing though

The only good Wario Land games were those on the Gameboy and Virtual Boy.

Those Banjo Kazooie games weren't that big in Japan in the first place. So screw that and give me Bomberman

Where's Shenmue HD?

@edgedino That doesn't make any sense if you don't take the library in consideration. Bomberman was selling well because there were barely any other games on the system. Same for this one.

@gortsi But I'm not even trolling. I own a Switch and Wii U and the Switch is collecting dust. Odyssey was fun, Splatoon 2 was worse than 1 and other than that there is not much that is worth my time. The fact that you name Metroid Prime 4 and Smash Bros basically proves my point. There is not much else to look forward to and it will be another 9 months until you play one of these.

Unless you really crave 2D platformers, ports and indie games. In that case the Switch library is amazing.

@gortsi I'm not even English, how many languages do you speak?

@HipsterInkling I name some games that I will play in a month or so and call it a backlog.

He names some games that will be out at the end of the year or in 2019.

Which basically proves my point: Switch has no game.

@gortsi I'm just naming some games that I will play in the near future. You're stressing out about the word backlog. [removed]

@gortsi So you cherry pick one game that will be released in a month and counter with a remaster and two games that doesn't even have trailers or release dates. Nice.

@gortsi That's why it's called a backlog. Look it up.

It just means there is way less competition on the Switch. My PS4 backlog is huge (still need to finish Persona 5 and Rez Infinite and start Yakuza Kiwami, Yakuza 6, Dragonball FighterZ en Ni No Kuni II). My Switch backlog... not so much.

The Wii U versions were great. Pirates exclusive.

Lol, predicted this.

Nintendo has no shame.
