The worst thing about this is that EVEN if you chose to boycott Nintendo and all the companies that the Saudis have in shares, it's damn outright impossible to not support them through two means.
1) The very vehicles that you ride in are all powered by gasoline, and a majority of it comes from Saudi Arabia
2) The nations of the world, even America and Canada, all support Saudi Arabia because they chose to provide the oil to the developing nations.
SO yeah. Unlike Hogwarts Legacy, a boycott against Nintendo because of the Saudis won't mean anything at all, because you're still contributing towards Saudi Arabia both directly(Gasoline) and indirectly(Your own nations).
I still have my NES-themed GBA. Still have every one of my Game Boy Advance games. But that being said, I'm glad that older GBA games are either coming to the Switch(Like Metroid Fusion) or are on the Switch(Like the Mega Man Zero collection).
The Game Boy Advance is still one of Nintendo's best systems in its long-lasting legacy.
The one question is: Will the North American version of Disgaea 7(Regardless of system) feature the DLC right on the cart? Or will we still have to get it separately?
The fact that Sean Murray went out of his way to make No Man's Sky for the Switch says a whole lot. Sure there are some bugs. But this is one of the most satisfying Nintendo Switch ports ever.
If the free DLC works out, I think SEGA should add in additional skins for Tails, Knux, Amy and Sage.
Case in point: In addition to her Swimsuit from Sonic X, they should also add in her Sonic Boom outfit as well as her Rusty Rose form from Sonic Prime.
I want to see more of an evolution of the classic-style Mega Man series. Sure returning to Pixel Art was great. But I want Mega Man to evolve more. Add in elements that can make it stand out more as a great title.
Word has it Henry's going to partake in a Warhammer 40,000 series not just as the Star, but also as the Executive Producer, and Amazon wants to publish it.
@SteamEngenius You'd be surprised by how expensive ports of older games turn out to be. Case in point: The Switch version of the Turok 1 and 2 Double Pack can go for as much as $170 on eBay.
It is still a surprise to see Crisis Core come to the Switch in the same graphic style as the FFVII Remake(Not just the art style, but also the fidelity). This makes me wonder if this is a taste of things to come(FFVII Remake Intergrade on Switch, perhaps?)
I may have Wind Waker and Twilight Princess. But I would pay again for the Switch versions of both games. And not just them.
I would also pay for other games ported to Nintendo Switch just for the hell of it. Dragon Age, Final Fantasy VII Remake(If SquareEnix pulls it off), Fallout 3, Metroid Prime Trilogy, Metroid: Samus Returns, Super Mario Galaxy 2, the 3DS versions of Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask, Final FAntasy 1-6 Pixel Remasters, Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order, and others to name a few.
Of course Nostalgia is a powerful drug. But games that were on Nintendo's legacy consoles aren't the only thing I want to see on the Switch. I also want to see games that have never been released in North American until now(Such as Trials of Mana), and games that were never on a Nintendo system until now(Final Fantasy VII-IX, Disgaea, Devil May Cry, Crash and Spyro, and a boatload of SEGA Genesis games that weren't even on the original Wii Virtual Console).
It's not just about nostalgia. It's also about trying out games I have never played before. (I got to play the Darius games on the Switch, and I have become a fan of Darius Twins and Darius Gaiden)

Re: The Original Pokémon Trading Card Series Is Returning As A "Premium" Set
I may have my originals. But I may double dip in the future for Nostalgia sake.

Re: Sonic Origins Plus Has Been Rated In Korea
The only thing that will satisfy me would be playable Amy Rose and Metal Sonic for all of Sonic Origins.

The one question is: Will the North American version of Disgaea 7(Regardless of system) feature the DLC right on the cart? Or will we still have to get it separately?
Re: Ys X: Nordics Announced For Nintendo Switch, Launching In 2023
That reminds me: I gotta pick up Ys IX. Already have Ys VIII and Ys Origins.
Re: Nintendo Will Reportedly "Boost" Switch Production In 2023
@Ade117 That might be an understatement if the demand remains. The Switch could outsell the original Nintendo DS.
Re: Talking Point: After Pixel Remaster, What's Next For Final Fantasy On Switch?
The Biggest challenge that SquareEnix could do would be a Switch version of Final Fantasy VII Remake. If they pull it off, then great.
Other than that, I think the Enix side of SquareEnix should port or remake the Blazer Trilogy: Soul Blazer, Illusion of Gaia and Terranigma.
Re: Random: Indie Dev Giving Away Free Game Codes Until Nintendo Closes The Wii U & 3DS eShops
@theModestMouse When the servers for both shops shut down, I will do just that.
Re: Bandai Namco Open To More Tales Remasters, Awaiting Fan Requests
As long as they keep putting out older JPRGs on Nintendo Switch, I'll be ready.
Re: Mario Kart Tour Teases Rainbow Road Wii For Its Next Update
I wonder if Mario Kart 8 will also get a Fire Field Track from F-Zero, either from X or GX, or an all-new original Fire Field track.
Re: Limited Run Details Blossom Tale II's Deluxe Physical Edition, Pre-Orders Open Next Week
At least I'll be able to get this one.

Fingers crossed for both a Tiny Toons collection and a Ganbare Goemon collection.
Re: Best Of 2022: "No Man's Sky Will Never Run On That" - Sean Murray Talks Defying The Odds On Switch
The fact that Sean Murray went out of his way to make No Man's Sky for the Switch says a whole lot. Sure there are some bugs. But this is one of the most satisfying Nintendo Switch ports ever.
Re: Soapbox: If You Thought Last Year Was "Sad" For Switch, 2023 Might Be Hard To Handle
You're kidding me, right?
Too many games that came out, and there are some that I have yet to pick up to add to my collection.
I swear, either this year or the next year will be my swan song for Nintendo Switch games.
Re: Soapbox: 2022 Was A Watershed For Companies Taking Retro Compilations Seriously
We need a Ganbare Goemon Collection
Re: Takashi Iizuka: SEGA Has "A Lot More" Planned For Sonic The Hedgehog In 2023
Fingers crossed for a Sonic Advance Trilogy.
Re: Sonic Frontiers Reveals Free DLC Road Map For 2023 - New Story, Playable Characters & More
If the free DLC works out, I think SEGA should add in additional skins for Tails, Knux, Amy and Sage.
Case in point: In addition to her Swimsuit from Sonic X, they should also add in her Sonic Boom outfit as well as her Rusty Rose form from Sonic Prime.
Re: Talking Point: What Would You Want To See In A 'Mega Man 12'?
I want to see more of an evolution of the classic-style Mega Man series. Sure returning to Pixel Art was great. But I want Mega Man to evolve more. Add in elements that can make it stand out more as a great title.
Oh, and please make Roll playable.

Re: Wonder Boy Anniversary Collection To Get Switch eShop Release Next Year
@Drac_Mazoku I know. I have both Darius Collections, the Space Invaders Invincible Collection and the first Turrican Anthology.

Re: Sonic Frontiers Lead Composer Upset By Leaks, Says It's "Ruining The Experience For Others"
Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric was too good for these spoiled Sonic maniacs.
Re: Rumour: This Might Be Our First Look At Sephiroth's Super Smash Bros. amiibo
Finally. An Amiibo featuring a Mama's Boy.
Re: Talking Point: It's About Time Castlevania: Symphony Of The Night Came To Switch
The best chance of seeing Castlevania: Symphony of the Night is if Konami chooses to port the Dracula X Chronicles from the PSP to the Switch.
Re: Talking Point: What On Earth Is Going On With Square Enix?
It is still a surprise to see Crisis Core come to the Switch in the same graphic style as the FFVII Remake(Not just the art style, but also the fidelity). This makes me wonder if this is a taste of things to come(FFVII Remake Intergrade on Switch, perhaps?)
Re: Best Contra Games On Nintendo Systems
Whatever you do, stay away from C: The Contra Adventure.
Re: Talking Point: What Do You Want To See At Tomorrow's Nintendo Direct Showcase?
HOnestly, I would rather be surprised by what Nintendo throws at us.
Re: Poll: Do You Actually Want Switch Ports Wind Waker And Twilight Princess?

Oh no.
Well anyway.
