@JimmySpades PMSL. I already said I was a Nintendo fan and I never said that indie games are not gaming news. Anyone who acts butt hurt when someone points out something correct e.g Nintendo not taking ownership of Joycon Drift is what I call a "raging fanboy", someone who is so immaturely blinded by a console manufacturer, they can't see anything wrong with what they do.

@RasandeRose I would suggest you go back and rewatch the PS5 trailer again in 4k as the live stream was not great. Ratchet and Clank, Horizon and Jade shwed a massive increase in generational graphics. Much better than even my high end PC has produced. Horizon was jaw dropping.

@Dirty0814 I don't understand that? Sony showed game after game after game for all age groups. And on a care about customers note, they have incredible sales and discounts. Nintendo has shown no new Direct in over a year, out of 4 games released (including Pikmin 3) in a year, 2 are re-releases, one is on its 3rd release in a short space of time. They have abysmal sales, overpriced games, including higher priced Indie games than other consoles, will not allow cancellation of digital pre-orders and the have only just now taken ownership of Joycon drift. I am a huge Nintendo fan, more so than any other developer, but I think you have got confused by which company has shown the lack of care for its customers.

@RasandeRose But infinitely better than anything Nintendo has shown this year because they have not shown anything. Watch that presentation again in 4k and Horizon 2 looks like the next leap in gaming graphics. I am a Nintendo fan through and through but that trailer was spectacular, as was Ratchet and Clank, Spiderman and Demon's Souls. You can say that they are sequels and remakes but that would be incredibly hypocritical coming from a Nintendo fan (myself included). There were new games to like Jade and Stray, Resident Evil 8 and so on. It was a reel of games and it was great.

@GiygasAF I have had it a lot already.

Jesus not again. I am sure some of these games could be good, even great but Nintendo fans are screaming out for some gaming news. The PS5 reveal was incredible, and Nintendo needs to give its fans something bigger.

@shazbot The same day sometimes. But tgis getting to be a bit of a joke tbh. There were so many rumours about 1 today but that is clearly not happening

@Dm9982 I want a Switch Pro soooooo bad, gadget whore that I am!

@Dm9982 I hope it does, but it is the console the WiiU shouod have been. It came out more than half way through a console generation. They at least need to do an update to it as a lot of people are now eyeing up the PS5. Lockdown has really helped Switch ssles but Nintendo really need to show sone new software.

@status-204 Yeah i have Gamepass on PC but apart from Ori and a few others, i am not so impressed

@TheFullAndy I agree and it is really sad. Since the 360 MS has really relied on 3rd party and promotion of their games instead of creating their own brand. It is such a shame as the original X-Box was really exciting and varied with exclusives like Oddworld, Ninja Gaiden, Halo, Project Gotham, Blinx, Panzer Dragoon, Jet Set Radio etc. But they have really went down the generic gung-ho shootery style wity their machines since. I mean they could have a few million sales of XSX straight away by making Banjo Threeie or PD2, as the long time Nintendo fans woud be straight in their wallet. It just defies belief how they are marketing their new console. There is nothing really identifiable with their brand. Nintendo and Sony has tonnes of mascots and it really helps them with brand identity. Microsoft is sitting on many too but just does nothing with them. Characters like Master Chief and Marcus Fenix do not have mass market appeal and do not appeal to all age groups.

I really wanted MS to deliver some magic next gen but so far it is not looking promising.

Ori and the Will of the Wisps is an incredible game however. Best game they have made in years.

@Octane Breath of the Wild was a challenging game. It had conplex puzzles, and if you did what i did i.e. used no food for boss fights, it was a decent challenge. Fingers crossed they don't dumb it down for a newer audience.

The Metroidvania style of game is more popular than ever, as it is probably the most ripped off style of game on the indie scene. Nintendo have a newer audience now with the Switch that I think Metroid games would appeal too. Also Nintendo released Metroid games for lesser selling, or more casual focussed consoles such as The Gamecube or Wii respectively. The sales of Breath of the Wild compared to other Zelda games show that Nintendo fans are screaming out for more complex games such as Metroid Prime 4. I have every faith that MP4 will be the best selling game ever in the franchise as long as it is top quality and not dumbed down. With games like Dark Souls gaining huge popularity too, it shows gamers like a complex and challenging game with no hand holding.

Hopefully game development has too.

Amazing sales numbers for single console games

@datamonkey I am praying it is going to be as challenging as ever, and just have one of those optional systems like the super guide function in Donkey Kong or Super Mario Galaxy 2, or the hint system in OoT on 3DS. It needs to be a core gamer focussed game.

If the make Metroid a game to appeal to casual players, then I lose all faith in Nintendo. Metroid is supposed to be challenging. It is probably the most ripped off game template on the indie scene and Nintendo needs to show them all how it is really done. I will be hugely disappointed if they dumb it down. Metroid has always been a game for the core, and one of their most challenging franchises.

@dux It was never a Playstation exclusive it was originally a Saturn game, but became popular when it jumped to PSOne, but they were all on PC, as well, just not N64, probably due to limited cartridge space at the time.

Different strokes for different strokes

How does this work alongside the European voucher promotion?

@Justaguest @Justaguest there were only 1.5years between OoT and Majora's Mask. There has been more than 3 years between BotW and BotW2. When the engine and foundations for a game are there, it is much easier to produce a sequel so I have every faith this will he superb when it releases.

@ROBLOGNICK Not making something clear, or actually in this case at the start, not advising people at all about the extra charge, is malpractice. Stick up for it all you like, but this should have been made clear to those kind people that backed a project, that did not even need backed in the first place.

But they already payed for the postage cost in the price already, and they add an extra shipping cost and you think that is good practice? Raging fanboyism at its absolute worst.

There is nothing I hate more than raging fanboyism. It blinds people to malpractice, and it is why these companies get away with such practice. I hope the backers become a collective voice and seek legal action.

@ROBLOGNICK Okay so why do we not pay customs fees on all games then? Your comment has no logic. They would have thought it would be the same as buying any other game. I am very glad I never backed this game now. What a farce

More greed from Nintendo. This is a sad day for me. Back to physical purchases again for me.

@ummyeahnintendo Did you not see the PS5 reveal? Also Sony has their own fornat Days of Play now.

Please, please do not make this a generic FPS like CoD

This actually looks very interesting. I love 3D games with puzzles. I especially miss games like the old Tomb Raider games. Will be keeping my eye on this one.

@gaby_gabito Or due to the lockdown maybe? The Wii has sold out, WiiMotes are more expensive and people are trying to have fun and be more active 8indoors.

I wished we get news like AAA game something releases on Switch next week, instead of news about all these small indie games imitating games from over 20 years ago.

As this update is so significant, is there any potential of a re-eview?

Thamk God this is not true. Yooka Laylee was such a disappointment that I would rather it was developed by someone else.

Fox the frame rate and the constantly flapping wings and I will pick it up.

If the Wonderful 101 is ready for release already, why did they need kickstarter funding?....

Amiibo are dead 🤨

I think the digital sales would have skyrocketed

It is the wing flapping that puts me off. Even when you rotate the camera to the side, the wings keep flapping and obscuring the view. I am not buying it until they fix that.

And the award for the best name for a game 2020 goes to.....

@Mordridakon Even then there was not that much going on from what I remember

Make a Kid Icarus that is an evolution of the NES original and not the painful 3DS action game.

This is a game to look back in with rise-tinted glasses. Ir is nowhere near as good as we remember.

@Desrever Contact them and register the complaint so if they refuse, and are give a timescale they have before they dont have to repair them e.g. 3yes, then at least you can say you reported it in that time scale.

I bought cheap on PS4 and it is awful. I thought it would be a throwback to the old Tomb Raider games but the puzzles are rubbish, controls are worse and it is full of bugs. No doubt as there is a physical release it will be way, way overpriced on Switch also.

The e-Shop is a nightmare at the moment. So much shovel ware, but the switch has bad sone of the best Nintendo games in years

@SortingHat Kind of like a New Game+. It would be good in the next game to have a hard mode from the start too without dlc, or to have options for no food during boss fights.

I thought Breath of the wild was a decent challenge, especially without cooking and in Master Mode.

Massive feat but the single player games are stupidly easy now. Online battling is the only way to play until they release a hard mode.

Animal Crossing is a lovely little game to play. It is funny and mild, but if there is any game ever in history that does not get me excited via screenshots its Animal Crossing. The screenshots just can't sell the game well at all

Squeenix and Capcom should take note of those release prices....
