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.

@Justifier It is far from over, but August is practically here. Couple of months left for the rest of the year and still no announcements. I thinking that there won't be much at this point except a Mario port.

@jump It’s almost August and there’s nothing for information for what is planned for the rest of the year. That does not bode well.

@TG16_IS_BAE only if you like those games

Nintendo used to have to worry about putting out games on both a handheld and a console. Now they only have one hybrid Switch to put out games out on, but seem to be struggling. If they only have Switch, shouldn't they have more amazing games?

Seriously. Origami looks so so. Nintendo thinks everyone loves Animal Crossing New Horizons; well I don't like that genre and don't like Pokemon as well. So, not much for me out from Nintendo. Where are the updates on Bayonetta 3, No More Heroes 3 (and maybe 1 and 2), Metroid Prime, BOTW 2, etc? What about the rumored Mario Remaster games? How about something new altogether? What happened to those EA mystery games? I would have loved a surprise announcement of something akin to Borderlands 3, Nier or something else. How about Mario Odyssey 2. Please tell me you got something up your sleeve the last quarter of this year. I want to be excited about Nintendo's future, don't wait until 2 months before release to tell about the game, I want to know years in advance.

Did I miss anything? Did the announce release dates for Bayonetta 3,Doom Eternal, and No More Heroes 3? Did they drop a bombshell like a Nier or Borderlands 3 announcement? How about those mystery EA games? Or maybe Mario remaster announcements even though they said they wouldn't. Hope it is not another Bakugan disastrous announcement with some DLC or some obscure game with a small following. 😉

Saints Row 4 on Switch and Days Gone on PS4.

That was a disappointing announcement

They couldn't get Ritual of the Night to play right on Switch, so they went for a game with subpar graphics. And everyone drools over it. I want Switch to be pushed to it's limits, and not be relegated to play 8 bit games. Borderlands games on Switch show what Switch is capable of, let's have more of that.

@WiltonRoots that is because Japanese gamers like kiddie looking games, which Last of Us clearly isn't.

I know it is fake, but I would love a Nintendo Direct like this one. Mario and Zelda remasters, yes please. GTA5, Metal Gear Solid 5, Kingdom Hearts 1,2,3 (not some spin off) yes please. This would be fantastic. The least likely is Mario Kart DLC expansion pass.

So you are saying there’s still a chance for NHL? Lol

Same thing happened with Vita versions. And the legacy versions predicted the end of Vita. Could this curse happen again, is the end of Switch upon us? 😀

NHL and Mass Effect Trilogy, I don’t need anything else

@Reigestugatensho I jumped over from PSP and Vita to Switch (my first Nintendo handheld); those Sony handhelds had more games geared towards me. I have been in heaven with Borderlands, Bioshock, Witcher 3, Saints Row making their way to Switch. That is what I mean by rated M games. Carrion will be a perfect fit for my taste. Maybe GTA and NHL will make their way to Switch (my dream handheld games). Because there is no Vita successor, adult gamers like me have made the jump to Switch. Sorry, if we invaded your PG based realm.

Can we get some announcements that are not for Pokemon or Animal Crossing? Love my Switch but not a fan of these two franchises.

yes. Need more games like this on Switch for adult gamers. Sorry, not a fan of Pokemon or Animal Crossing. I was hoping this would make its way to Switch.

Lame. I want an actual KH game . Its Persona 5 all over again, giving something else

Yes, no need for physical media.

@Anti-Matter I rather have NHL and Madden first over Sims
