Re: EA Job Listing Suggests Madden Could Be Coming To Switch

So much hate for Sports games here. There are former PSP/Vita owners who jumped over to Switch because Sony didn't have a follow up handheld. Those folks, me included, may be more interested in games like Borderlands or Madden. Personally I want NHL to come to Switch so I can play it on the go.

It is interesting to to see how the most fervent Nintendo enthusiasts defend mother Nintendo at any cost. It is like the abused spouse syndrome. I have a Switch, and this this a crappy move by Nintendo by taking down Super Mario 3D All-Stars on the digital store. People defended Nintendo before saying, don't worry, these will probably be sold separately on the digital store, you'll still be able to get it. Now, the defense is, of course they are going to take it down, they did say it was limited. I don't want to feel rushed to buy a game, I should be able to buy it on the digital front when I am ready to buy. And there is no copyright issues on Mario games, just a bad move by Nintendo to try to rush folks to buy it now for full price and to drive up resell prices on cartridge version, which then make Mario even more desirable for future games.

Re: Nintendo Direct To Air Tomorrow, Wednesday 17th February

This is only for the first 6 months of 2021, so BOTW 2 and Metroid are not going to be mentioned.
What I want:
Mario Odyssey 2 announcement
Zelda HD collection
Exclusive GTA for Switch, or Rockstar games. Really would love a AAA game (like Call of Duty or GTA) that is geared towards the adult audience.
Batman Arkham Collection

What I don't want but which we will probably get:
Another Pokemon or Smash announcement (Nintendo mentioned another Smash DLC but it is time for Nintendo to move on to something else).
Cloud based games.

Re: Poll: What's The Best 2D Mario Game?

Dman10

There should be another poll, which one is the easiest and which one is the hardest. I had struggled with the second half of Mario U Deluxe. I had to play a bunch of levels as Nabbit. Maybe it is my age as my reflex is not what it used to be.

Re: Feature: Best Wii U Games

Dman10

The majority of these made their way to Switch. Outside of the Zelda games (which could at some point also come to Switch), there is no reason to own Wii-U. I would like to see a Batman Arkham Collection on Switch.

Re: Soapbox: When Is The Next 'Big' Nintendo Direct? Oh, Does It Really Matter Anymore?

Dman10

I know that Covid impacted game development, but Nintendo seemed to have gotten lazy this year after New horizons came out. I am not counting the Mario remasters. Sony managed to release two AAA games during COVID: Last of Us 2 and Ghosts of Tsushima. Might be hard to believe but not everyone loves new Horizons. Nintendo is at the top right now, I hope that they don’t get too complacent. I miss Nintendo Directs; I hope that Nintendo has some killer announcements this year.

Re: Talking Point: Are You A Player Or Collector?

Dman10

I play . I now find collecting odd, we all have short life spans, just enjoy the games. When you are gone someday, your loved ones will sell off your collections or they will end up in trash. I used to collect when I was younger, but as I am getting older, I no longer collect and just enjoy the games.

Re: Nintendo Download: 31st December (North America)

@NTELLIGENTMAN I did say one or two games are actually worth playing. By the way, Gradius 3 was a great game for it's time and I could never get far with the insane difficulty, not sure I want to play it again, now that my reflexes have slowed more with age.
