@retro_player_22 True, asking for Persona 5 on Switch at this point sounds like a joke when we have been begging for it for months. Instabuy!

Persona, yes!!! A good idea could be bring first 3 personas as they appeared on PSP, in one cartridge.Then the complete 4 and 5 versions.
And Dragon's Crown! Def a game that deserves more love.

@Dog I'm asking for the contrary! A new 2D Mario with original new content! Please, read my original message and don't mislead my words, mate.

@Mailman Yes, please! A new Mario bros. in 2D with original content, that is what we are waiting for since... Super Mario World on the Snes. 28 years!!!

Why Nintendo re-uses the same assets again and again for its 2D Mario? I mean, this is their mascot and should be their flagship game. Why keep pushing the 3D Mario game and be so lazy with the series that allowed the company to became what is today? Even when the trend for 3D reverted thanks to the indie developers bringing back the 2D mechanics back to the present, Nintendo has been just lazy. So please leave the 'New' adjective away for the next installment and create the truly successor of Super Mario World. We've been waiting 29 years for it.

I think what Suda said about sells has to do more with publishers pressure on developers than a marketing stunt. It's been misinterpreted but I have to agree that saying that on a promotional row was a bit sloppy. Still, NMH are a cult and niche series with the potential to broaden it's audience. Is a bit risky upscalling a project after the past two iterations did just well. So is this a test for the market? Of course. But still looks promising as a videogame itself.

Keeping an eye on it and hoping it feels like a fully fledged sequel or maybe better given it's variety. Love the art direction and retro references but the DLC's are a downer. Let us play the whole thing for once!

That could be some good insight for Nintendo and 3rd parties about new ports for the Switch: Nier, The Witcher III, Yakuza, Ni no kuni are on that list and many Nintendo players wishlists.

Nintendo should get their asses to work on a proper 2D Mario (no, the New SMB doesn't count as they feel as a remix of old assets and ideas).

I know I can trust Hori as they proved to be the best third party for Nintendo peripheals and accesories but a proper D-pad is a huge task to accomplish with honours.

@ottospooky This "rudimentary 2D platformer" can beat the crap out of those games you mentioned and even most (if not all) the triple A third party industry games. When videogames turned their heads towards storytelling vs gameplay, we the players lost massively.

Gotta finish Metroid Returns and Shovel Knigh On the Plague Knight mode. Focusing on the backlog on my 3DS!

I played the arcade version with the massive drum controllers while I was in Japan on holidays and it's a lot of fun! Already considering the import!

Videogames are played globally. The only place who has highschool shootings are the USA (I'm afraid to say so). They should look to another place. Like how easy is to get a gun (legally) on the US. But is always better to deviate the public opinion eye on the most popular media form... Let's call it Games! It happened to comics and movies back in the days. The result was censorship and the result was a massive loss of a more rich enviroment where creativity could blossom. After those witchhunts the comics or movies created ran on a ten year period when all the production was unrelevant and stall, lame, not relevant to the test of time (except some smart minds that sneaked great artistic works). History tends to repeat or rhyme. That sounds like a dark ages off-beat rhyme. US cetizens, you should get that psycho clown out of that office!

He has a point! D-pad and VC! Then Switch would be (almost) perfect. A proper user account for downlads would round it up!

Not so excited about the bongos but the game boy case for switch. That looks amaaazing! Hoping for a game boy reissue on Nintendo classics series, still.

Yeah, it's a bit stteped but what really puts me down is how Nintendo treats it's 2D platformers. That genre is where their truly legacy resides and they keep cornering it. Uninspired 2D Marios or bland Yoshi games. This is one of the best games on Wii U. It desserves a global retail release and I'm reading that it's not coming to EU. I hope is just they haven't announced yet and where getting the physical release dates soon.

You should get some proper sleep mate from those long gameplay hours (me too).

Back in the days (we're talking about a decade ago, almost) when you bought a game, you OWNED a game.

Yeah yeah, all the merry games we're gonna get. But Nintendo not joining the strike... Classicly dated.

@MagicEmperor They pretty nailed it then! XD

@JaxonH Now we just need a new Tactics Ogre to call it Perfect!

I'm just a bit down seeing how little the series evolved from previous entries. But is good that they got rid of all the teenager nonsense of the second one, though. People, if you are into tactical RPGs Valkyria series are mint!

That said I'm up for some portable Diablo!

For me it's clearly a tease. Otherwise would appear that the community manager is taking the piss of Nintendo players or maybe he is just incompetent but that wouldn't be the case right, Blizzard?

I'm always totally lost on this no-gameplay trailers. What's the point? I mean the atmosphere looks promising but...

Continued support like this will be always well received!

@Tempestryke It's a solid platformer released by Capcom on the Snes with the Mickey licence. Here's more info:

The Disney licensed games on Nintendo platforms by Capcom were always good quality games.

That would be neta even that I'd never been a massive fan of Crash's series (I skipped the PS and N64 generation). From that era I'm just waiting for a Sin & Punishment remake (sorry for the off-t). Another game that intrigues me from the first PS iteration is Vagrant Story but its clumsy controls always put me down. I'm a big fan of Matsuno's Tactics Ogre. The TO PSP remake would be a good fit for Switch as well.

@thesilverbrick Now I'm just curious about this guy's political comments and why those raised all that backlash.

More Capcom nonsense...
And for something different, they should bring a Disney collection back (Chip n Dale, Ducktales, Darkwing Duck, Aladdin, Magical Quest, etc). I know copyright issues and this and that. But that would be awesome!

That video is a must. Is not so usual to get around those kind of intimate interviews related the videogames. So full of sadness but also hope. Definetly, cinema, videogames are not the best environment for highly creative people, unless you are super lucky.

Bioshock series would be cool as well. But that cheap cart/ download trick needs to be adressed!

As long as they don't follow again the same strategy again as in LA Noire (shipping the cartridge with half the game on it) I would be interested on RDR.

Also, 3rd parties should realize that Nintendo fans were never looking for cutting edge graphics, just good games. So if they have to compromise some textures and effects to bring new and old ports, we would be more than happy. The Doom port is the way to go.

Well, personally I don't really care about the online system. Just bring good games! New IPs, a truly 2D Mario, rehash some awesome old IPs like Sin and Punishment (As I said on the comments on the other sales story) and bring back some good ports that appeared on other platforms (I'm looking at you Persona, Witcher 3 and Nier: Automata). As long as I stayed on my 3DS for the last gen, I don't care to see some of those ports appearing on the new and bright Ninty console.

@DK-Fan A dual control system for a new Sin & Punishment (Wii pointer when docked and N64 on handheld) would be great. The Wii title is one of the greatest experiences I had in videogames in years!
And I slightly disagree. A new truly 2D Mario would get the old fans on board again. Like me, many people never get into 3D Mario. Such a different gamestyle. I was very disappointed with the direction that the series took on the NSMB Wii title. Game mechanics were just fine but the art style was so lazy! It was ok for the DS but I was expecting more on the home console. It's the flagship series, c'mon Nintendo! Well let's see what they would bring in the near future.

A new 2D Mario bros. is needed. And by new I'm not meaning a New SMB but a whole new game, not a bland game with reused assets, a truly follow-up of SMW (no, Yoshi's Land doesn't count).
Bringing back some underdogs like Sin and Punishment or a Lost Story sequel would be neat. And bringing other platforms exclusives like Nier Automata or Ni no kuni (PS). With those numbers they can/ need to be bold with software!

@Equinox MS pressence in consoles market affected PC gaming very bad from the very first beggining.

I wish the Switch outsold PS sales as it represents the handheld and home consoles markets combined on one product.

I agree Danger desserves better. Well, Cosgrove Hall desserved better in general.

Maybe that's the only prediction he got it right. Like the Switch was going to fail...
The only reason I can find about The flame against Nintendo fans is because he's being paid for the rest of the industry to get cover stories about them.

I was considering to get it day one bec... Marketing works! But seeing those prices made me think that I'm gonna pass. Better leave it for lucky rich kids with hip parents!

I'm not a kid. I'm buying it day one. Now I need to have a kid.

PS. That's a proper industrial design. Bravo Nintendo!

Definetly, yes!

@maruse Most of the games announced came from japanese developers but I can sense an strong 3rd western party support coming to Switch. Or are they deaf to what Switch means by now? Just look at the sales numbers on that machine! And how we, the gamers enjoy videogames currently. Portable is the way to go! Jump on in! One last note: Even with all the great games announced on this direct I'm gonna save some coins to get that Wolfenstein on the go! So I expect more games in that fashion (and I don't mean FPS but western like ones). Anyway, good times, people. Rejoice!

People complaining for no VC, well, that be neat but how many times I'm gonna pay for the same games!?
And the ones complaining for no info about the online paid system... I wish that never happens.

Ys: Yesss!
Hyrule Warriors: Holy chickens!
Donkey Kong: Holy bananas!
Dark Souls: Hell Yeah!

Now Nintendo, bring more 3rd party support to the system like From Soft. Bring it on!!!

I didn't own a Wii U. Just the games library doesn't appeal me (forgive me Bayonetta, we're gonna met soon on Switch). Honestly, that machine lacks good software. Take apart Zelda BOTW, Splatoon and Mario Kart 8 (all of them now they are truly Switch experiences) and what is left is subpar.
Now all I want from Nintendo is a good platformer: a truly new classic Mario with innovations (no more reused assets from New NSMB) and a new Donkey Kong. Bring it on!

Looks promising!

Hey, third parties!
