Seems like Retro comes up with a lot of interesting concepts, only to get curbed by Nintendo. The Boo and Sheikah games come to mind when I say that.

Pretty good list for gba.

Sounds interesting.

Can't wait for Ultimate Top View Ba$tard!!!

Looks promising. The Kickstarter doesn't bother me. Yacht Club has a good record and it will lead to more investment in the game.

Looks like a good one to me.

Mario Kart in an open area like Paradise City or Forza Horizon would be interesting...probably not.

I'm thinking it really is the holiday game. But delays are always possible. Especially with a Zelda game.

The two Baten Kaitos games definitely deserve a mention.

So is he going to charge us to finally get the inside story on Mother 3?!

Brilliant!!!

Looks good to me.

The original game was a very challenging but fun on-rails shooter in the arcade style. Star Fox 64 had that but also added 3D dog fighting and a more cinematic presentation (at least for the time).

The problems surfaced in the GameCube era...I realize Adventures and Assault had their own merits, but they were not the same game. They were reinventions that weren't asked for at the time. Command was a more fully realized Star Fox 2, but it still had a spinoff feel. Then the 3DS gets a 64 remake to remind us how good it was, followed by Zero a few years later. Zero was not horrible, but really suffered from the "gimmick" problem. It felt a little rushed to me as well.

If Nintendo would just give us a very normal feeling game for Switch, I think it could do the same number Metroid Dread could do.

I wish the rumored DK game showed itself, but a great show overall. Metroid Dread made the show for me, but I smiled throughout.

All I really get out of it for sure is that Spencer actually wants xCloud on other consoles to happen, but no results as of last August.

Who knows? Rare Replay on Switch would be pretty awesome, Killer Instinct, too.

@Ralizah Truth, NIS has probably been one of Switch's most prolific 3rd parties, and from very early on, too.

I've never heard of them, but very interested in these.

I don't play Fortnite, not for me. But this would be cool for those that do. Hope it happens someday.

@dimi Couldn't agree more.

At least Bethesda games will still go to PC...

I always thought Mii's had potential for something like this. I didn't realize it actually happened until now, though. Huh...

I will say, Shadow Dragon on the DS addressed a lot of the concerns expressed here. The issues with the healers was addressed. This version gives you the ability to erase turns, though, if that it was what you would prefer. It's graphics are objectively better, though some may prefer the 8-bit style this offers. Shadow Dragon went for a more painterly/realistic style that just seemed out of place.

The World Ends With You is the The World Ends With You.

This should have been called The World Does Not Revolve Around Persona 5.

Thank you to NintendoLife for putting together such a great showing. I've been more excited about the Switch lineup over the next few months as a whole compared to the other consoles, even PC. Cyberpunk 2077 is the only thing missing, really...

@Expa0 Those were the one's that caught my eye, too.

Why? This really defeats the point of a collector's edition of a video game.

The series really does deserve a chance on Switch. I hope 1 & 2 make it over.

It really is the best for free to play on Switch, considering the content there and still being added. I wish cross save with PC would come along, though.

Crossplay is the major selling point in my eye...could be a good community if it catches on.

2011 for me. Wii game releases faded out, while wondering if Xenoblade would ever come.

I really wanted it to be true...

Pretty much the best announcement today, really.

Seems like a lot of work went into the "accident" for it to be an "accident."

I got it earlier today...really looking forward to running through Colony 9 again.

This makes me hopeful, but I wouldn't be surprised if Mario remasters are part of this.

Maybe good news is around the corner...

Net Laner has my attention the most, though Lonely Mountains looks like a lot of fun.

While looking at the sales, I have to say it's sad that there isn't more Star Wars on the Switch. I don't know why EA can't port Fallen Order or just something more to Switch.

The biggest problem is that Xenoblade Chronicle DE is the biggest known quantity of the horizon right now, and that's the end of May. That will probably be my favorite game this year, and I'm enjoying the Switch backlog and Warframe in the meantime. But I can understand how this can be frustrating.

I'm sure they'll find a way to announce things, even if it is not a Direct. I'm assuming the main problem is that release dates are hard to confirm right now. They probably want to announce things closer to launch at this point.

I can understand where Sakurai's coming from.

Yes, definitely. I would want to keep the ability to tweet screenshots. But would love to see the return of that.

For me it would be:

More CPU
More RAM
Fix the Joycon drift issue once and for all.

I really don't care so much about the other features. I just want it to be able to continue the growing 3rd party support into the next generation.

Great news to me.

I think I'll go for Geno on this one.

@Trajan @westman98 The current knowledge is that both will be using AMD Zen 8-core processors at about 3.5 Ghz. I think I heard somewhere that PS5 clocks a little bit faster. The big question is storage and price...PS5 is going all in on SSD to make load times invisible. I'm not sure what this one will do. Series X may be the "close enough and a little cheaper" option of the two.

Ugh...I get the feeling Indies will soon be the last bastion of free expression.

So, what does the sauna do?

Thought I would try to clear up a couple things...

The word from Blizzcon has not been 100% consistent, but OW1 multiplayer basically updates into OW2 multiplayer. You can own OW1 and keep getting the new OW2 multiplayer updates. The main reason for this I think is maintaining consistency in multiplayer games and preserving the multiplayer pool. Blizzard is still pushing this as an export, after all.

So, all that is actually for sale for OW2 are two game modes, both of which are co-op games against enemy AI. Whether that makes OW2 worth the money is a legitimate question.

I really wouldn't worry about release timing. OW2 campaign is probably over a year out and the multiplayer for OW1 continues to update even if you don't buy the new game. The best way to look at OW2 is as a glorified expansion.

As to whether the Switch overtakes the Wii...to me it depends on how the Switch pro or Switch 2 is handled. I do see the potential to overtake as a family of systems if current owners upgrade.

For those that haven't played, there's a pretty fun PvE hoard mode that goes on during this event.
