I actually got my Xbox and first Xbox 360 consoles for free.

And of course I can determine the price of a game, because its whatever id be willing to pay for it.

Never mind Mew, can you get Mew-Two?

I had Pokemon Yellow and Stadium for the N64 and Mew-Two was near unstoppable

Dimensions was the DOA high point for me, it had the fluid style of DOA2 and a ton of free content. DOA5 would have been ok if it wasn't such a cash grab that put everything behind a $2000+ paywall.

DOA is my favorite fighting series and I hope that DOA6 is good, but Ill skip it if its another microtransaction battle. With that all in mind Id actually rather they make a Dimensions 2 style game for the Switch based on the DOA5 engine.

As for Xtreme 3, I owned one of the previous games on Xbox which cost me $2 from the bargin bin. Thats about all that id pay for this one too.

@Fuz
Yep that's it, well remembered. If I get a C64 mini Id like to revisit some of the more obscure games such as that and Killed Until Dead. If I can find them.

My favorite C64 games were Paradroid and Defender of the Crown. I still play them to this day, although the Android versions on my phone are nowhere near as good as the C64 originals.

This weekend its Lets Go Pikachu and the ever present RDR2.

Sony are in 1st place when it comes to sales so they obviously don't care/want to cater such things, why should they when they already have people's money. Next gen will probably be the same, they'll throw out some hyperbole about PS5, people will lap it up and Sony will be laughing all the way to the bank.

I always thought Saboteur was over hyped and the end product was decidedly average. So it's not surprising an old average game hasn't aged well.

Id rather see games like Navy Seals, The Great Escape, Platoon or Into the Eagles Nest revisited.

On a random note, I have memories of a c64 game that involved an army boot camp and obstacle courses that I think may have been Full Metal Jacket. Anyone remember that game?

I'm picking up Lets Go Pikachu tomorrow. Civ 6 is definitely on my radar now too.

@CupidStunt
Yes it was, that movie looks a lot more than I was expecting. Not sure about Ryan Reynolds though, as I see Pikachu but hear Deadpool, so I keep expecting him to drop a load of F bombs.

Sony dropped out because the banjo and flute guys were not available.

That and they've nothing to announce until they launch the PS5 in 2020.

I have the Pikachu version preordered. Should be a lot of fun to play it with the kids.

@_aitchFactor
They won't pay it all. A court judgement means that it becomes a debt, so their wages would be garnished, their assets taken and then they will probably declare bankruptcy. It"ll be at least 7 years before they can be free of it and then they'll have to start rebuilding their credit.

It shows that there can be serious consequences for piracy.

@Royalblues
I own all 3 systems and I don't find that it's a case of nothing else on the Switch or that there's simply mountains of great games elsewhere. The PS is actually the one that we have the least amount of games for (only bought Spiderman this year) because we get multiplats on Xbox or Switch.

I didn't buy Indies until I got the Switch.

1. A lot play/feel better on the portable screen.
2. 4K or HDR are not used/needed, so they are fine on the 1080p docked Switch.
3. Indies hold no value on Xbox/PS.

I never bought Indies on Xbox/PS because the thought is that they'll just be 'free' on the subscription services the next month. That doesn't happen on the Switch, so it makes them seem like a more worthwhile purchase.

Interesting. I like the sound of this, but I'll wait for a price cut as its a little high.

I'd buy the SNK collection and I'm even tempted by the Saboteur for nostalgia sake; but there isn't much point at the moment as RDR2 is taking up whatever time I have.

Nice Nintendo online games for this month though.

I might pick this up just for the Ikari Warriors games.

Red Dead Redemption 2. That is all.

@cyrus_zuo
Usually whenever I buy a game it'll go on sale the next week. I told my buddy if there is a game that he wants then just wait for me to buy it and then it'll be 50% off within a couple of weeks. It's the same on Xbox, if I buy a game it'll probably be a 'free with Gold' offering the next month. It really does seem that they only go on sale after I buy them too.

I've never been a fan of Fallout, so I'd skip '76 anyway. They probably should bring something instead, whether it be New Vegas or 4, seeing as they've teased by having Shelter out.

I do hope to see more Wolfenstein and Doom on the Switch though.

RDR2 on the One X. That is all.

It should be an easy win for Mario + Rabbids.

I like the Lego games but I usually wouldn't pay more than $20 for them.

Lego City Undercover ($60)
Lego City The Chase Begins ($20)
Lego Movie ($15)
Lego Batman 2 ($20)
Lego Batman 3 ($15)
Lego Marvel Superheroes ($20)
Lego Star Wars Saga ($20)
Lego Star Wars 3 ($10)
Lego The Force Awakens ($40)
Lego Indiana Jones (Free)

I'll likely pick up DC Supervillains for the Switch when it drops down in that range.

I bought the physical starter pack because it was the cheapest option ($79 compared to $80 for digital). I don't have all the extra ships and weapons but I didn't care about them anyway. I only wanted it for Star Fox, so the base game is fine and I got an Arwing to put on the shelf.

@getyourak
Isnt Nintendo actually ahead at the moment? They have 2 AAA games streaming already and the Switch is currently the only h.265 compliant console, so they seem perfectly set for the streaming future (which seems to be going to happen whether we want it or not). If Ubisoft etc continue to push games this way and eventually take it to the other consoles then the Switch's lack of power becomes a non issue.

I don't see a problem with games being streamed to the Switch (in Japan) if they are titles that otherwise wouldn't be on the system. As for not having ownership of the games, I'd just think of it as a rental, if you want to own a physical copy then just buy it for PS4/XBO.

If streaming becomes mainstream (although I don't think that internet services are anywhere near ready) then the Switch could be the only system that would be guaranteed to get physical/digital games simply because of its portable aspect.

That's ironic, a game about YouTube on a system without YouTube.

This all sounds pretty good but the most important things will be how accurate the physics are and whether or not it'll support motion controls on the Switch.

I picked up the physical version from Wal-Mart as it was $79 compared to $80 for the standard digital.

I thought that you'd have to register the toys before playing and then theyd last 7 days; but you dont have to at all as it gives the option for digital when you start. I haven't even taken them out of the box yet, although the Arwing does look cool.

Im only an hour in but the game itself seems pretty good. I especially like the space combat with the ships having jet trails, as it makes them easier to see.

Was it just photorealistic environments (like Pikmin) or photorealistic Pokemon too?

Real life looking Pokemon would be pretty scary, but I wouldn't mind seeing a live action movie one day.

I'm really looking forward to Pokemon Lets Go Pikachu as it seems like a perfect game to play with the kids. Pokemon Yellow is the only Pokemon game that I've actually played through (except for the Stadium type games) and I actually know the 151 Pokemon.

I've been waiting for this game for ages. Now it's here I won't be buying it because I have Starlink this week, then RDR2, then Pokemon and then Smash Bros Ultimate. I simply won't have the time to play MOTN, so I may as well wait for a sale and hopefully it'll get some performance improvements by the time I pick it up too.

I miss the days when a game was actually complete when you bought it. I guess Nintendo had to catch up with the times though, as incomplete games has been commonplace on MS/Sony consoles for a long time, sometimes they don't work at all without an update.

As for the storage issue, It doesn't really matter if a console has 32gb or 1tb; you either have to delete games or buy extra storage anyway. My Xbox One X is 1tb and I'm having to delete games so that I can fit RDR2 (over 100gb so far without the multiplayer) on it.

This is a survey of less than 6000 people, so it's hardly definitive statistics.

I have Starlink, RDR2, Pokemon Lets Go and Smash Bros Ultimate for the holidays.

@BlueOcean
I'd like to know the logic behind discounting a game on one platform (Xbox/PS) at the same time as releasing it on another (Switch). Why would they damage their own sales for the Switch? It seems to happen quite often, sometimes they are even given as a 'free' monthly game just as they are being released at full price on the Switch. It must be either on the belief that people only own one system or that they can resell the game purely on the strength of portability.

It's stopped me buying several games and I wonder how much the profit/loss would be from Xbox/PS sales/free games compared to potential lost future Switch sales.

I wouldn't buy Child of Light anyway as I already own it for the Wii U, but the Gold/Plus schemes have definetely been a factor this gen.

Monty Mole could be a contender too, with Monty on the Run or Auf Weidersen Monty.

Okami is a great game though. I bought it on the Wii and now again on the Switch.

I'm not bothered as I got the 360 version of SOTN for 'free' on Xbox Gold last year.

The only console that I would buy a SOTN port for would be the Switch, for the portable play.

Last weekend I busted through Batman Arkham Asylum and Arkham City on XBOX; so next is Arkham Knight. Then I'll work through Red Dead Redemption in preparation for Starlink and RDR2 in the next couple of weeks.

On the Switch I have Lone Wolf as my unwind to go to sleep game.

I bought Stardew because of all the praise it was getting but I've just never been able to get into it. I was hoping it would get a local multiplayer mode so I could try playing it with my wife.

I have this on the Wii U (I think it was $15), so I wouldn't pay $30 for it on the Switch.

My phone doesn't have enough space for the app so I've never tried it. It sounds like a confusing setup though. Do you hear the game audio (from the Switch) through your phone?

@Bondi_Surfer
I wish there were some C64 games for the Switch but I doubt that'll ever happen. We didn't even get all the Wii VC releases in North America.

The C64 Mini launches soon though with 64 games on it and the ability to add more Roms.

I have Starlink preordered. Apart from that my October will be dedicated to RDR2.

@jhewitt3476
My PS3 was fine until Sony released an update and my wifi failed, which made the update freeze so that it never completed. I couldnt restore the system and Sony then wanted $140 to fix the issue. I refused and so my PS3 remains dead.

Around the same time my launch day Wii stopped working and Nintendo had it repaired and returned to me within 4 days for free.

Aside from the cost involved, the level of customer service was like night and day. Nintendo was friendly and helpful; whilst Sony had more of a 'thats tough luck' attitude.

I'm playing Batman Arkham Asylum on the Xbox One X. On the Switch I'll be playing the NES games, Gradius in particular.

I had this on PS3 but Sony bricked my console before I finished it. It was fun while it lasted so I might pick it up for the Switch when It's on sale.

I really do want this game, in fact it's been top of my indie list for some time. I don't know if I want to pay $25 for it though (especially as Starlink and RDR2 are out next month) so I might wait for a sale.

I would buy SOTN on the Switch but I guess I'll just stick with the 360 version on Xbox One.

When I saw the picture with Bub and Bob I thought that we was going to get Bubble Bobble.

It's great that Hamster keeps putting out games, but along with the aforementioned Bubble Bobble I really want Gradius, Salamander, Rampage, R-Type and Rastan.

Out of the games announced I'd get Ikari Warriors, but I might just get it in the SNK collection instead.

@kobashi100
My guess would be that people worry when a series goes multiplatform that it'll be changed to accommodate the new audience. If a game loses its roots then its a problem.

I only tried Ace Attorney on the Wii but it was hard to get past how pixelated it was, especially the text.

The bike handlebars look pretty good. I thought about remaking some of the kits in plastic but this makes me think about upping the quality.
