I'm an attorney, though I don't work in Intellectual property. What I can say on a basic level here is that gamers probably couldn't win in court because they don't have what's called "standing". Standing in this case means you can sue Sony because Sony is violating a contractual relationship with you and you're actually being hurt by this violation. The EULA probably won't work for that.

Epic may have standing to sue Sony (lost sales on game transactions because Sony prevented cross-play, accounts carrying over). The thing is, would Epic really want to pick that fight? They probably want to see other games on PlayStation in the future, so why rock the boat?

The only good answer I see is for PlayStation sales to sink and people buy for the other platforms. Sony would have to listen then.

Personally, I just played Smash on the controllers of the day as the new games were released. It does make me appreciate why some would prefer the GC controller, though. To me it was one of the best Nintendo ever came out with. It just felt good in my hands playing Melee.

Personally, after seeing the PowerA knockoff I wish they had just designed a pro controller based on the GC mold. It would've been the best of both worlds, just give it a ZL trigger, make the C-stick analog, and add the +, -, Home and capture buttons.

Already preordered Octopath, but if I had not I would've definitely done that now.

I have to agree with Reggie. They're hard to resist learning about but it takes a lot of surprise away.

I was on YouTube watching E3 vids a lot this week. After the Direct, I was constantly seeing the Fortnite ad. On one video the ad triggered on me twice, not 10 seconds apart! That was clearly supposed to be the shocker of E3, and it wasn't. At least it's being downloaded a lot.

Honestly, Smash Bros. and Splatoon both would benefit from the regular update treatment. I do hope Sakurai can find a way to move on to other things and be happy doing that. Anything he touches is magic.

2018 was clearly about getting Smash Bros. and the Let's Go Pokemon games out, and Nintendo was and still is banking on them being mega hits. It also makes sense now when you think about the marketing Mario Tennis Aces and the Wii U ports have been getting. Nintendo really did need them to sell well. I think everybody was expecting more major third party releases and it didn't happen.

The thing is, Let's Go could have ridiculous sales potential. And this SSB Ultimate game is clearly going to be the ultimate SSB. It oughta sell. I'm thinking the stock market is getting too jittery and needs to calm down.

Was hoping this would make it. Good way to start the morning.

This brings out the kid in me...the trailer felt like it could have come out of a Saturday morning from the 80's...yeah, I'm old.

I never really expected much from EA, and I wouldn't buy Madden if it was coming.

Like other commenters, I agree the reality is that not all games are coming to Switch. I think they could have used FIFA's engine and made it happen, though.

After Bethesda's conference I'm starting to think more mobile ports will come. That definitely seems to be their theory on it unless they surprise me with Doom Eternal.

The big takeaway for me on that conference was that they were working on a bunch of stuff, but not much for this year and not much detail to give. Hopefully there will be more announcements next year.

Swish, swish, baby...

Might as well talk about the roster too lol...

1) Inkling will be one character with boy/girl skins.

2) Link is getting a BOTW overhaul on his moveset, so kind of a new character.

3) ARMS will bring Springman and Ribbon Girl to the roster. This will be highlighted for E3 Direct.

4) Ice Climbers and Wolf make their return.

5) Bomberman and Simon Belmont are added as 3rd party characters. Snake returns.

6) Besides that...Rex from Xenoblade 2 is very realistic. I don't think Ridley and K. Rool will ever happen (though I want them). I'm looking for a DK character after Tropical Freeze, though...Dixie, Cranky, Funky, one of those.

I feel like everyone is getting too hung up on the port debate, to be honest. I don't thing they would be hyping a port this much. I think the Wii U version is a base and they reworked it to the point that it's not a port like the other Wii U games have been. A lot of assets will get reused, but there are going to be new characters and stages. If this game is just SSB4 with Splatoon added in, there would be a riot and I think Nintendo knows that. I don't think Samurai would be that involved with a simple port, either.

That said, I don't think core gameplay will evolve that much. SSB4 was close to perfect for many. This really shouldn't be a total rework either.

I got Shaq Fu and honestly don't regret it. It's actually solid.

I played it on Wii years ago. It is good and worth the time, but it's also a play it once and not bother again kind of game.

Hmmm...Sony can't quite crowd Nintendo out of the top 10, can they?

@JaxonH Not everything is coming, I agree. Fallout 76 is definitely not announced for Switch so far. I do think (or want to think) they have something for their conference that no one has leaked. I just felt there was a lot of people ruling any Bethesda games out. I do think Fallout 3 or New Vegas will more likely happen (well remembered, can run on Switch). I think the first Wolfenstein is possible if Wolfenstein II sells.

It seems the community is still in the "Switch is not getting the latest AAA games" mindset.

The mindset is probably still valid. And I am not an insider by any means, but I do think Nintendo is the only company with any big E3 surprises still yet.

There is a spark of hope inside me that thinks Bethesda has more in store for the Switch. Maybe not Fallout 76, but something. We are definitely in an era where Nintendo gamers and journalists are paying more attention to Bethesda. That's progress to me.

I want Mega Man to sell on Switch so that we get more, but honestly when half the games are on the cart you might as well download it.

I wish all of of Blizzard's games would be on Switch, to be honest. Maybe one day.

I will say that, like @Spoony_Tech, I don't see the excuse for not being on Switch, unless their looking at install base / investment numbers. I don't see the technical issue if Blizzard uses their online infrastructure.

It could really use a "featured" section. A lot of older releases get lost under the new ones. That's the main problem to me. Also making the top sellers a longer list than 15.

So many games I want this week, and for once there are so many I don't have enough money to buy them all at once this week...wow.

@LinktotheFuture Yes. I think you have to beat the game once to unlock them unless you enter a cheat code.

So will the extra missions be available as DLC? That's all I care about.

Ok then. I'll just get Wolfenstein 2.

It seems like Star Fox done right if the rumors hold up. I'm imagining a cross between Diddy Kong Racing's airplane tracks and on-rails Star Fox levels. Throw in all the characters from Star Fox Command with their personalized machines and it could be pretty good.

This is sounding more plausible as we go.

I am actually intrigued by the Star Fox Grand Prix idea. I just couldn't believe that was all they had been working on. This makes more sense. I do hope they have two games to announce at E3. We'll see...

I feel very lukewarm about it all right now. On one hand, I feel like I'm getting the answers I've waited for. On the other, I can't help but feel like this could've been better.

I'm not surprised that there isn't a plan to buy VC games all over again. Subscription seems like a logical answer. I personally didn't mind the discount the my did with Wii U. I actually like how they've added online play to these games. At least Nintendo is bringing something new to the table with these.

I still have my VC games on Wii U, it's not the end of the world for me. What bothers me is there are a lot of games I was looking forward to playing on my Switch that I don't expect to now. It looks like I'll really have to buy an SNES Classic to play Star Fox 2. What about getting SSB Melee on Switch? F-Zero GX? I'm not convinced a subscription service will include all of this. I don't want to do emulators and roms, either.

I can't help but find it odd that Sega, Capcom, etc. are trying to churn out collections for retail while Nintendo is doing this other stuff. I think it's all about the classic mini systems for Nintendo this generation.

I'm happy to hear about the cloud saves and transferring accounts, that was good. I'm not convinced people will use the cellphone as voice chat system. The whole thing is very muddled to me.

And that's why so many ports are on Switch. The increased install base is an opportunity that couldn't be missed. That simple. If the Bayonetta port just comes close to matching the Wii U lifetime sales, that is more than worth the trip for Nintendo. Same for Hyrule Warriors, Tropical Freeze, etc.

Got cart for Wild Guns.

Idk...to me there's a certain quality to the art style that I thought got lost with Twilight Princess because it went as dark as it did.

I want it!

It's a great game that really deserves attention. If you haven't tried it, I would strongly encourage checking it out.

This looks awesome. Will definitely keep on my radar.

Glad to see some options added in.

A simple. "Featured" section would help a lot.

Wondering how a match would balance out. It's got me curious.

I hope it's true.

Yep...Smash must be very far along and Nintendo's wanting to own this E3 with it, probably online service announcements piggybacking off of this. Any trailers for Pokemon or Metroid and it's lights out for the competition.

To me, Ubisoft is a 3rd party that never left Nintendo, like them or not. Glad to see them keep autonomy.

I actually held off on buying, hoping it would come one day. Glad I waited.

An expansion with more fighters and arms would be nice...the game does have serious competitive scene potential.

@SmaggTheSmug That's true. But if the game plays like Rampage the screenshot would still make sense.

I'm in so far. Hoping to play as the robot...

Procedurally generated fps? Interesting...

Looks awesome!

It's been a while since I played a good Kirby...kinda glad it isn't a substantial spinoff. Getting because I think my girlfriend might like the co-op.

Think I'll get it.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE would love to see Chibi Robo, too.

@rjejr completely agree about Lana.
