The Castlevania Collection suddenly being out right before my birthday was fantastic. Learning Knights of the Old Republic is coming to Switch is also great news.
Aiming for esports right out of the gate seems like a bad move to me... that's a very niche audience. You need a wide general audience to create interest first, then esports scene can grow from that.
As Nike's recent lawsuit with the Satan Shoes demonstrates, companies can also bring you to court for using their copyrighted material in a way that's damaging to the public's perception of their brand. Porn especially tends to lose those court cases.
Love the look of the cars, I like that they're small and in the real world... but the tracks, as shown, look pretty boring overall. Needs more use of stuff like those ducts and halloween decorations.
@ImBackBB The developer is Id Software, Bethesda is the publisher. As to your point, I think it's safe to say the people at Id have played DOOM, check wikipedia to find out why.
Loved the book that came with my copy of the game way back when, enjoyed the whole book series that came after. The game itself was good, but short. I'll be picking it up if the price is right.
All that said. GIVE US KNIGHTS OF THE OLD REPUBLIC ON SWITCH!
I like the stark image of the Japanese cover, but the NA version helps convey more about what the actual game is about. European cover looks totally forgettable.
My wishlist for Switch ports: Breath of Fire III, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (I and II), Xenoblade Chronicles X, Metroid Trilogy. In that order.

Would love a new Castlevania game, not sure if I want Konami making it though.
Re: Rune Factory 5 Will Feature Same-Sex Marriage In The West
@ATaco That's a very offensive way to describe bisexuals. And it's bisexual visibility month, even.

The Castlevania Collection suddenly being out right before my birthday was fantastic. Learning Knights of the Old Republic is coming to Switch is also great news.

Re: Nickelodeon's New Brawler Might Get Character Voiceovers In The Future
Aiming for esports right out of the gate seems like a bad move to me... that's a very niche audience. You need a wide general audience to create interest first, then esports scene can grow from that.
Re: First Screenshots Of Zynga's Free-To-Play Star Wars Game Surface Online
I love Star Wars but this looks... not good.

They either need to make an actual sequel or add some DLC.

I'd buy this based purely on nostalgia.
Re: Konami's Castlevania: Grimoire Of Souls Rises From The Dead
I'm a huge Castlevania fan, have been since I was like 8, and they're keeping me from this by making it exclusive to Apple Arcade.
Re: Random: Hey, The Switch Is Also Getting A Flight Simulator Game This Week
A new Pilotwings would be fantastic during these stressful times.
Re: Minecraft's Caves & Cliffs World Generation Is Here, And It's Incredible

Re: Best Metroid Games Of All Time
It is not for gameplay reasons that I loathe Other M.
Re: Among Us Has Been Localised Into Irish
Now Irish school kids can say they're studying while playing Among Us and not be lying!
Re: Nintendo Download: 24th June (North America)
Why is some shovelware space shooter thing so upvoted? Looks like some bots at work.
Anyway, I'm getting Disgaea 6 and Zombies Ate My Neighbors.
Re: It's Official - Sonic The Hedgehog Is Now A VTuber
I kind of want to watch Sonic, in character, playing other video games. Like Skyrim or something.
Re: Best Nintendo Switch Metroidvania Games
How on earth is Bloodstained not on this list? I'm basically going to ignore it based on that omission alone.

Scraped the bottom of the barrel so much that we're now through the barrel entirely and digging up stuff best left buried.
Re: Feature: Castlevania Season 4 Review - An Epic Ending To Netflix's Hugely Satisfying Series
I hope Konami jumps on the hype and released Castlevania Collection Volume 2.

I read this as Fighting Ex Lawyer.
Re: Nintendo May Have Issued A Copyright Claim To Take Down Some Raunchy Bowser Art
As Nike's recent lawsuit with the Satan Shoes demonstrates, companies can also bring you to court for using their copyrighted material in a way that's damaging to the public's perception of their brand. Porn especially tends to lose those court cases.
Re: Video: Hot Wheels Unleashed Dev Releases First Official Gameplay Trailer
Love the look of the cars, I like that they're small and in the real world... but the tracks, as shown, look pretty boring overall. Needs more use of stuff like those ducts and halloween decorations.
Re: Review: Arcade Archives Haunted Castle - The Worst Castlevania? Quite Possibly
I'm going to say Castlevania: The Adventure is the worst, because it's also ugly to look at and the soundtrack sucks.
Re: Random: One Of America's Biggest News Outlets Takes The 'Mario’s Going To Die' Meme Way Too Seriously
CNN exaggerates the story of a "panic," and now you guys exaggerate CNN "taking it way too seriously." Sigh.
Re: Talking Point: Which Old Game Series Would You Like To See Revived?
Castlevania and Breath of Fire. Actually, as for Breath of Fire I'd settle for getting the PSP version of III ported over to the Switch.

Looks like we found the cause of alcoholism in Australia you guys. Turns out it was this video game.
Re: DOOM Eternal's The Ancient Gods: Part Two DLC Isn't Launching On Switch This Week, But Here's A New Trailer
@ImBackBB The developer is Id Software, Bethesda is the publisher. As to your point, I think it's safe to say the people at Id have played DOOM, check wikipedia to find out why.

Re: Star Wars: Republic Commando Is Landing On Switch This April
Loved the book that came with my copy of the game way back when, enjoyed the whole book series that came after. The game itself was good, but short. I'll be picking it up if the price is right.
All that said. GIVE US KNIGHTS OF THE OLD REPUBLIC ON SWITCH!
Re: Zynga And Lucasfilm Games Announce Star Wars Hunters, A New Free-To-Play Title For Switch And Mobile
I'm a big Star Wars fan, but I predict this will be totally forgettable.
Re: Pillars Of Eternity Will Get No More Patches On Switch, Despite Unresolved Issues
Warning to consumers against this publisher, but more importantly, a warning to developers not to use them.
Re: Konami's Anniversary Collections On The Switch eShop Are Currently 75% Off (US)
Still hoping for a Castlevania Collection Vol. 2 personally.

Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl #74 - Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective
I like the stark image of the Japanese cover, but the NA version helps convey more about what the actual game is about. European cover looks totally forgettable.
Re: Capcom Shares Strict Video Guidelines For Content Creators
This isn't really that strict, just seems to be removing the ambiguity that exists around already commonly done things.
Re: A Cyberpunk Ghost Story Will Be Haunting The Switch Soon
That cover art is painful to look at.

I just want Breath of Fire III on Switch.
