Surely a “welcome tour “ is just that? Why would we pay for it? I’m so confused. PS5 had Astro Bot, so it’s not just a Japanese thing…..

Click and comment for the editors self esteem. Done that.

Iphone shouldn’t be backward compatible. Everytime you upgrade you should delete your entire digital life and start again.

That’s not the way the world works I I think we are safe in Nintendos hand

Apples iPhone didn’t become the most successful product in history by binning off the previous gen version for the next one. Progression is KEY in the modern world. Switch 2 will have most games not available on original switch, but those original switch games should 100% be available within the switch “family” on the new hardware.

I can’t be the only one who reads these NL articles in the style of the guy who created the site.

Yoooooo know, the onnneee who goes really long on some words, and then goes up at the enddddd 😂

So Nintendo don’t include digital sales…do the other companies? Or is this a physical only chart? If not then TOTK is absolutely smashing it!

I absolutely loved BOTW and was a little underwhelmed by TOTK to begin with (I’m
not into building stuff really) but as I have progressed I’m seeing the greatness in this game and am really enjoying it. Nintendo always does these big games without apologies and for that I love them even more

Playing Skyward sword (switch)bought it a while
back and found the beginning pretty dull, however been at home with the flu and have really got into it! Onto the third flame at Eldin. Have to say it’s a dam good game once you get into it. Looking forward to TOTK

“Peaches CAKEee’ 😂

Looks nice. Still seems all the ‘new’ features/modes of the switch have been focused on handheld. Light - now OLED, I play mainly on the big screen. Perhaps we will be getting ‘PRO’ dock as the next release? That means even those with the original Switch could enjoy the benefits.

Definitely think that could happen.

Aside from the ammibo arguments, is skyword sword actually worth buying? Ive played BOTW and loved it. Also played Twighlight princess, loved that as well. Ocarina of time kind of passed me by and majoras mask I have never played. Will SS be a good experience?

One word, only one word is needed. Clues to that word. Rare, Nintendo, Microsoft, rights issues..........GOLDENEYE remake. That’s my bet anyway.

@Mr-Fuggles777 because the average 10 year old doesn't care! And his/her mum doesn't want to spend £800 so they can play Mario! It's a balance between tech and price.

My Switch rarely comes off the dock so 4k support and a little more oomph in processing power for those big third party ports would be the main reason in upgrading for me. Something like the Outer Worlds would likely run much better. BOTW 2 all polished up on the pro would be lovely as well 😀

Anyone else think Bowser Fury was originally DLC for the WiiU, but they are now just adding it to Switch version as a new addition?Not complaining as never had a WiiU but makes sense?

Looks bad. Its 2020 and a brand new park! Where is all the tech, the tricks, the new stuff? This is a bad version of rides done thousands of times! Missed opportunity.

Love that ! 😃😍 all the memories.

The pro controller is perfect, I do have a GameCube and controllers but don’t think I’ll bother getting the adapter.

HOWEVER the invert options are essential for me, have spent a bit of time on all three games since I purchased at launch, but the lack of invert option just constantly pissed me off. And I haven’t gone back to it since. Hopefully this will allow me to properly get back into the game.

This has grabbed my attention as a ‘different’ style of game I haven’t got for the Switch. I’m engrossed with all the Mario games and Yoshi with the kids. Then there is the classics like RTC 3 which I’m currently obsessed with on my own! But at he right price this might be a nice little change. May give it a go in the future

@Laxeybobby
I agree, I own a switch because I grew up with Nintendo but I’m now old (lol.) I play it on my own but also get my nephew and niece involved regularly, they are always pushing me to get a new game.There has been a good stream of games that I have purchased and spent a bloody fortune on! We played Pikmin 3 demo (never played it) and we all loved it. However I have spent way to much on Mario all stars and ring fit, Mario bro’s etc to justify another purchase at this time. The game is great, but I’ll wait till we have completed the other games before purchasing .

Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 - absolutely loving it. Cant put it down

Seems like they are pumping more resources into this game! Ultimately this means it will be the best it can be.
When the switch has a consumer base of over 100million the release will be a sure bet! And thats when I expect Metroid 4 to finally be released, for me personally this is fine. Make the game great and I’ll happily wait.

Love this game! Spent many days/weeks playing it on the PC when I was a bit younger. Tried to boot it last year on the old disc I had but couldn’t get it to run on PC.
Looked into RCT4 (reviews *****!) then looked into Planet Coaster ....that would have involved spending £100s on new graphics cards, was disappointed! So the fact I am going to be able to build new parks on the SWITCH is freaking amazing, can not wait happy switch owner!

Amazon U.K. has it available. Just pre-ordered! Never played Mario 64 properly and never even had a go at Galaxy. Played Sunshine right through on my GameCube all those years ago. Looking forward to getting stuck in. Will be interesting to see how this ‘limited’ release thing plays out......is it just a ploy? Personally I have never pre-ordered a physical release, but the incentive that I may somehow have a ‘rare’ copy made me do it. I was planning on purchasing at release regardless (digital or physical - normally doesn’t bother me.) However this Direct deffo pushed me into the pre order. Still happy mind

Lol, Nintendo don’t compete with the ‘next gen’ fight. That’s for the middle people without kids (maybe 16 to 35).
Nintendo get the younger kids (thanks to the parents buying it) then when they grow up and have kids, they show all the cool Nintendo stuff to their kids, it’s a self perpetuating cycle. As long as the IPs and the quality is maintained then they will never need to compete with Sony and MS directly.

@Bret
You forgot the ‘takedown’ love that game!

@nkarafo Since when has specs and graphics had any bearing on Nintendo’s success? Good games are what is important, not frame rate and Call of Duty!

@Tedikuma burnout 3 (Takedown) was ‘my’ Burnout! I remember playing this game as my first online experience on the Xbox with headset! Blew my mind! And absolutely loved the racing.

For me Digital is just so much easier, invested in a large SD for the extra space. The hassle of taking/changing the cartridge when I’m out or equally when I’m sat on the sofa and can’t be arsed to get up and change the game, having it on the console is the best way.
However the pricing of digital downloads is verging on the ridiculous at times. The physical cartridge (with manufacturing/distribution and store profit to consider) is more often than not cheaper than the digital copy! This is madness as the digital cost is zero at the point of sale.

Sales are good but bringing the cost of digital down to retail is essential!!

It’s ALL about the software duh! Who wrote this FT article?? Without the software the hardware is irrelevant. Obviously the Hardware needs to be fit for purpose but overwhelmingly the software is what counts - and the big N knows that market better then most. Yes they lean predominantly towards the younger generation but then those kids grow up and want their kids to play the games they did and the cycle continues.....forever!
