I didn't realize that different parts of the world, had different bugs and fish available to them... why not just have the same for both hemispheres...?
I am what is known as, in the Xbox community, an achievement hunter and belong to trueachievements.com and track my gamerscore, completion percentage, etc.
Switch doesn’t have any sort of trophy system so I can play games on it without having to needlessly obsess over every little detail and challenge.
While I prefer to play a multiformat game on the superior hardware (Xbox), I will be swayed more toward the Switch version if the list of achievements is absurd (i.e. Wolfenstein II). The portability factor is an added bonus too, for sure, obviously.
@SpacedDuck Well, both of these games are pretty old and dated, so if there were any performance issues it was likely just due to the fact that the games released a long time ago and the development of the titles didn’t age too well, even in the redux. I completed Metro Redux 100% all achievements on the Xbox One and love the series. I hope this is true. It’s one of the best FPS’s from a story telling perspective and would be an awesome addition to the Switch library, IMO.
I’ll be noshing on leftover Halloween candy and playing Luigi’s Mansion 3.
As well as two trips to the movie theatre for Parasite and Motherless Brooklyn, firing up the Xbox for Modern Warfare, Gears of War 4, and maybe some Forza Horizon 4.
Anyone pick this up yet? I am curious how the servers perform (lag severity) on Switch. I am reluctant to trust an online FPS on a Nintendo platform, no offense.
Zelda Dungeon has the entire walkthrough (dungeon’s, collectibles, etc) for the new Link’s Awakening Switch Remaster, if you didn’t want to sit around on NintendoLife for forever waiting for them to copy/paste it over.
I don’t think Alan Wake was considered a AAA title (although I loved it to death!) and I also don’t remember there being destructible environments either, but I hope you’re all right about this one!
All I care about is Banjo in Smash and hopefully a new Banjo-Threeie (not a N n B sequel) game, preferably on both the Xbox One and the Switch... Gamerscore comes first, always. Portability second... unless the previously ‘leaked’ rumors are true and they announce that Xbox will be playable on your Switch as of (insert date)... then it will be the best of both worlds and won’t even matter!
At least two new boards... preferably more, and some new playable characters w/ custom die.
While you’re at it, release a new kingdom or two for Super Mario Odyssey as I also had my hopes up that there would be some additional content for that other than random Mario costumes that aren’t worth the massive coin grind to buy them in-game.
Already played and unlocked the full 1,000 GS on Xbox One. I'll pass on the Switch edition. Not worth playing for any other reason than the Gamerscore.
I'm going to be torn between the Xbox One version and earning the 1,000 or more Gamerscore and getting the Switch version and "FINISHing HIM" on the go.
Excited for Koopa Paratroopa. Please add a new Co-Op Challenge with new unlockable accessories / character color schemes too! I loved the Boo event and was hoping that would continue regularly!

Also, why does the So. Hemisphere seemingly have so many more creatures than us in North America?

That you are still unable to watch on your Nintendo Switch.
Re: A Nintendo Direct Mini Has Just Been Shadow-Dropped, Watch It Here

Also interested in checking out the Panzer Dragoon remake.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (March 21st)
Life sim’ing my life away during these trying times with Animal Crossing: New Horizons on Switch and Viva Piñata via Rare Replay on Xbox One.
Have a great weekend and stay safe and healthy everyone!

Liu Kang would be the best fit.
Re: Review: Aviary Attorney: Definitive Edition - A Hilarious Spoof Of Capcom's Ace Attorney Series
Charlie Kelly better be playable. No one is more well-versed in bird law than he.
Re: Talking Point: How Often Do You Make The 'Switch Sacrifice'?
I’m a bit of an odd case:

Re: Nintendo Switch Version Of Metro Redux Rated By PEGI
@SpacedDuck also maybe your PC wasn’t as high high end as you claim if it can’t run a redux of games from 2010/2013 🙄

Re: New Pokémon Sword And Shield Info Drop Coming Tomorrow, 16th October
I’m avoiding all the news and streams I can.
I want to experience this as spoiler free as possible.

Re: Poll: Have Your Joy-Con Been Drifting?
I have four joy cons and I’ve had them for two years... they work fine people. Take care of your stuff.
Re: Feature: E3 2019 Nintendo Switch Games Lineup: Pokémon, Mario, Zelda And More
...and I lied... I also care about and can’t wait to see the new Luigi’s Mansion 3 as well as Link’s Awakening.

Re: Yooka-Laylee And The Impossible Lair Is Playtonic's Next Game, And It's Coming To Switch
They had me at ‘new Yooka-Laylee game.’
They lost me at 2D... the last thing the platforming genre needs is more 2D titles.
Re: Yooka-Laylee Dev Playtonic Games Teases New Game Reveal
Banjo-Threeie
Hey, a guy can dream...
Re: Get Pokémon Sword And Shield For Less With Nintendo's Money-Saving Switch Voucher Deal
Wasn’t aware of the voucher deal but that’s great! I’ll prob grab Super Mario Maker 2 and Pokemon Sword at least, this way.
$30 off a AAA day one release when I buy only digital anyways? Yes, please!
Re: Wolfenstein: Youngblood Might Come With A Download Code Instead Of A Game Card
Good. The game cards are stupid. Inconvenient to load/store, delicate and a waste of space and a waste of manufacturing cost.
I’ll be getting this digitally on the Xbox One most likely anyhow (assuming there aren’t any Mein Leiben achievements).
Re: Super Mario Party Finally Gets Its First Update, But It's Far From Exciting
Other than Smash, I play mostly Mario Tennis Aces...
In large part due to all of the added content that freshens it up every month.
Re: Super Mario Party Finally Gets Its First Update, But It's Far From Exciting
At least two new boards... preferably more, and some new playable characters w/ custom die.

Re: Nintendo Download: 13th December (North America)
I may have to pick up Firewatch again. Loved it on the Xbox One.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (December 1st)
Mario Tennis Aces - December Update! New Co-op Challenge!
Re: Mario Tennis Aces Version 2.1.0 Update Brings New Games And Tournament Changes This Week
I’ve been waiting for this patch for what feels like forever.
Re: Mario Tennis Aces Serves Up Luma, Pauline And Boom Boom In Early 2019
how about a new co-op challenge for the holidays? that would be nice seeing as the last one expired almost two months ago.
Re: Video: Check Out Paratroopa's Skills On Court In This New Mario Tennis Aces Clip

Re: Nintendo Aiming To Resolve Mario Tennis Aces Co-Op Challenge Error By 16th October
After it’s fixed, I assume we will also immediately get a new co-op challenge, live with new accessories / colors for someone else??
Re: A Sealed Pokémon Trading Card Game Booster Box Just Sold For Nearly $70,000

Re: Feature: What's Left To Be Announced For Smash Bros. Ultimate On Switch?
I honestly don’t want to know anything more about Smash. Leave us some surprises please!
