Wow, that's a lot of garbage games. Switch gets tons of new games each week, but usually one or two are actually worth playing.

These sound great but I don't want cloud or stream versions.

Control has no place on this list. It is not a port, it is streamed. And I can’t bring it on the go.

This was a sad Switch year if you don’t care for Animal Crossing. Super Mario 3D All Stars was my highlight. Borderlands games and Hades were runners up for me.

How about rival console owners most likely to own Switch as second console? PS4 and soon PS5 are main consoles. I play Switch for on the go experience. It replaced my Vita.

The only games I want to hear announced from Konami are Silent Hills and Metal Gear Solid, even if it is just the remastered games of past entries.

I had this on PS3, but never got a chance to play it and got rid of my PS3. Might pick this up on Switch. I wonder if this will make its way to PS4/PS5.

@Razer Maybe you saw a different trailer than I did, but the trailer really makes the game look good on Switch.

Great to see Smash support but maybe it is time for Nintendo to redirect their Smash support staff to work on another non Smash game.

Any yet , other 3rd party games like Diablo 3, Doom 2016, Skyrim , etc are still $60

Good to see something other than 1st party and Minecraft here. I want to see 3rd parties succeed more here.

@Retro_Player_77 It is a shorter campaign, costed less to make, and did not get good reviews like Wolfenstein 2 did.

@w00dm4n Skyrim is currently on sale for $15.99 on PSN for PS4. It has been on a sale on PSN for under $20 several times in the past. There is no excuse for Doom 2016, Wolfenstein 2, and Skyrim to still be $60 regular price on Switch, especially on the eshop. They should be $30 regular price before a sale.

With the exception of the newer games, this is pretty much a repeat from Black Friday digital sale from last year. Doom, Diablo 3, Dark Souls, Skyrim , etc. had the exact same sale prices last year. Shouldn’t those games have a bigger discount this year?

Only 50%? Was hoping for a deeper discount.

@backup368 it was on sale for $2 at one point on digital store .

PS5 will be my primary console. Switch is and will continue to be my secondary console/handheld to play on the go.

I bought Switch to play games on the go. Not interested in Cloud games on Switch. I play One and PS4 on my tv. I will play this game on PS5, which is replacing my PS4.

I hope that it is not another cloud game.

@ianl579 This is a no go for me. I play on the 1 hour commuter train ride. Wifi or hotspot is not an option.

I play Switch on my commute to/from work on the train. No wifi for me and we go through dead zones, so cell hotspot is spotty. Guess this is a no go for me. I am getting a PS5 so I guess I will have to play it on that.

@Ghostchip lol, I can play it on the big screen, but I want to play on the handheld on my commuter train. And no, streaming does not count.

I have been playing Saints Row 4 for the last couple of weeks. Not as good as Saints Row 3. I am playing it in handheld mode. Really dislike how the whole game takes place at night. The screen is too dark. Having said that, I am having some fun with it. Will probably play Mario Galaxy after I complete this game.

Mother 3 would probably sell 50,000 copies or so outside of Japan. But these 50,000 fans sure are vocal in their requests. I hope you all get it, just so I don’t have to hear anymore about it. I would rather see Nintendo throw money at EA and bring NHL to Switch, but that probably would sell just as much as Mother 3 or worse.

I only play Switch in handheld mode. Switch replaced my Vita. I play PS4 and One on a 4K TV

I already have a Switch. Cannot wait for PS5 (already sold my PS4 Pro). I will get xbox series X at some point in a year or two, so holding on to Xbox One for now.

I don’t think Nintendo buys companies. Maybe Sony should swoop in. Microsoft has been on a spending spree so maybe it could be Sony’s turn?

October and November are usually prime months for game releases in anticipation of Christmas. While there are some good games here, there’s really nothing mind blowing

Regardless whether this is a lazy port or not, it is a terrible idea to have a 6 month window to buy a game. Maybe for a physical copy but not for digital. There is no copyright issues here, because Nintendo owns Mario. It’s pure greed to pressure gamers to buy the game now, otherwise they miss out. I hope this is not how it will be from now on.

If it means that I will finally have NHL on Switch on the go, then Yes please

It better be backwards compatible with the switch digital games, I understand going away from the current memory card format, but they should allow the digital purchases to be playable on this new system

Looks fun , wonder if the Switch version will look as good as PS5 version.

Maybe he delayed it so it is released for Switch PRO, as the regular Switch will struggle running it?

@Blooper987 Sorry, I disagree. Modern Trilogy blows the original Trilogy away (well, I mean the first two games in the Modern Trilogy, they are classics).

I want Mario Galaxy 2 but I am more disturbed this collection is only available until March even on the digital storefront. Why would Nintendo do something like that, to make people buy this game in droves? To drive the prices and demand high? Terrible idea.

Why would the digital version also be limited? I understand limiting the physical copy, but digital limitation makes no sense.

There are some great games on this list, but it seems like Microsoft and Sony have more AAA 1st and 3rd party experiences this year and coming up, than Nintendo.

Hey Platinum, why not talk to Nintendo and drop this price to $40 regular price. It is a hit for you guys, but it is not selling on the Mario Kart levels.

video game news must be slow today. Does this even warrant an article? Are we Switch owners this starved for some Nintendo news that is has come down to talking about a scaly custard?

Too funny to see people grossed out. This looks fun.

Finally, this is what most of us want, directs to let us know as to what to expect. This was a good Indie Direct. Now if we can have a Nintendo Direct for first party games and also AAA games from 3rd party publishers 😀. heck, just give me updates on what they already announced. Keep me updated, it makes happy to look forward to Switch’s future

@electrolite77 Game Pass and BC are awesome. That is something that both Sony and Nintendo could learn from.

hmm. WB is announcing something Batman related for tomorrow. It could be info on that new Batman Court of Owls game, which Switch would not be powerful enough to handle. Or maybe they could announce Batman: Return to Arkham for Switch, which includes Batman: Arkham Asylum and Batman: Arkham City. Would be awesome to revisit those on the go.

I hope that it is more than 4 announcements . Fall guys on PS4 is awesome. It would be great for the Switch crowd.

All I want from EA in NHL, Madden and Mass Effect Trilogy on Switch. Heck, give me the PSP version of NHL 07. I don't have PSP anymore and would love NHL on the go (not on some phone device).

More than half of Switch owners have played Animal Crossing New Horizons. It is a resounding blockbuster for Nintendo. Nintendo should not forget that some folks might not like New Horizons and have something else in addition to Pikmin for the rest of the year. I would love something new (1st party) besides remastered/deluxe editions, but I will settle for those rumored Mario remasters.

From that list, on Switch, I loved these games: Zelda: BOTW, Mario Odyssey, and Mario Bros U Deluxe. The other Switch games, not so much. On PS2 side (from this list), I loved: GTA: San Andreas, GTA Vice City, GTA 3, Metal Gear Solid 2, and Kingdom Hearts. The other PS2 games, not so much. So, if Nintendo got Rockstar (2K) to release some GTA games on Switch......

Star fox 64 aged terribly. I never played the Wii U Star Fox but would love to see it updated with graphics and gameplay.

The big problem from Nintendo is lack of communication. Nintendo has a huge blockbuster seller this year: Animal Crossing New Horizons. Problem is that they presume everyone should be happy with it and they think they are done for the rest of the year. The other big game was Paper Mario, which seemed like a smaller scale game. They need to tell what they have planned for the rest of this year and for next year. We are days away from August. Sony managed to just release two huge games, and have PS5 on the horizon. My suggestions for Nintendo:
1) Announce Mario 3D remaster/port game announcements, Pikmin 3 and street date for Metroid Trilogy Remasters. Maybe drop a Luigi Mansion 1 and 2 Collection.
2) Don't just rely on remasters/ports, they should be complemented by AAA games. Is there anything on the horizon for AAA games? Mario Odyssey 2, BOTW 2, Metroid Prime 4, Bayonetta 3, Mario Kart 9, something unknown? When?
3) Have a mind blowing announcement from a 3rd party. Something to rival Witcher 3. Maybe Nier Automata, Kingdom Hearts games (all of them), Persona 5 (not some spin off game) and others.
4) How about a 3rd party exclusive for Switch and not just a port? Maybe a Switch exclusive of a new Resident Evil, Metal Gear Solid or Tomb Raider to take advantage of Switch. It could be an exclusive spin off game like MGS Peace Walker. It needs to be more than one game.
5) Buy a 3rd party developer or even two. Bring all that developer's games to Switch and announce an exclusive.
6) How about having a best of collection of old games (2 volumes with 10 games on each volume). Yeah, you can get some on Online, but actually be able to buy them.
7) this is unlikely but I would love NHL and Madden on Switch on the go.
8) Have an actual Nintendo Direct with tons of these announcements.

@Snatcher No everyone likes Animal Crossings. Paper Mario is so so. And we will be lucky to get a Mario port at this point. The rest of 2020 does not have a sunny outlook.
