This looks like it’s right up my alley. Has anyone tried it yet? Does the game play well?

I am both. I play most games I buy and I get rid of any that I’m done with, but my essential game collection over like 7 consoles now probably spans 1000 games by now too.

@TheLightSpirit @Arkay journey and limbo were 2 of my biggest disappointments when they released when it comes to spending $25 on a game that were critically acclaimed, but to find out they both barely 2 hours and they were both basically just walking simulators with no gameplay and no replay value. Both were over priced and they made me very skeptical of any indie games since, and they are why I wait for sales for all digital purchases.

I can see ports of ffvii remake, Metroid prime as well as Samus returns, maybe link between worlds, zelda games, and hopefully a surprise Mario galaxy 2. But those would all make sense and we will maybe get one of the above.

@Silly_G zelda games are one of my only remaining series that when a new one releases, I watch nothing about it and refuse any guides during my first play through.

My rival console is an oculus quest 2. My switch is my go to console,(it goes to work everyday for lunch break gaming) but for near 2 months, we almost daily kill the battery playing best saber, superhot, echo, population one, and a couple others. Then it’s smash battles until the kids go to bed

@Enigk since the day aol and it’s chat room when live.

@TG16_IS_BAE which is exactly why I have my switch. Nintendo has awesome exclusives, and plenty of awesome ports/indie/AAA titles that I will never need another console at this rate. I’ll update my aging laptop at some point. I purchased the new quest 2, which is awesome, and there just isn’t anything on next gen/pc that makes me want to invest in anything else. It’s all about the games, and I’ve always been pc/Nintendo, and a little PS sprinkled in for exclusives. Now we kill the battery on our quest everyday and am thinking about getting rid of the Xbox 1 to get a second.

@impurekind since switch launch, I’ve played exactly 4 games on my ps4, and now have sold it to get a quest 2. I played switch daily on my lunch, as well as at home.
Pretty graphics aren’t worth $500 to me. But being able to play any game I want, whenever, where ever is what I want from a console.

My 3ds is basically a portable zelda machine. It doesn’t have the obvious ones of course. My switch needs to become a portable zelda machine, but with the console ones as well. Please Nintendo, just port it all over to switch.

I’m out impressed it’s digital only, but I guess the 100+ hours of the first on switch and it only costing me like $15, I guess I’m going to suffer.

So this and empire of sin went from “buy today”to “buy on sale.”
Also have to add, that if you want to feel like Neo from the matrix, then play superhot in VR.( Or John wick as he is know today.)

@NintendoByNature exactly. And same answer for Mario and Metroid.

I just sold my never played ps4 to get an oculus quest 2. After a week and about 50 hours over the 3 of us, I am selling our never played Xbox 1 for another quest 2. That will give us 3 household switch’s, two 3ds’, and 2 quests. I believe the next gen of gaming isn’t just better graphics, but vr. I also believe SuperHot
in VR is really the Matrix.

There needs to be a option for the oculus quest since I have no desire to play anything anymore but that and my switch.

I don’t really care either way, but it wouldn’t be the first time a developer denied a game coming to switch only to have it release anyways.

@Zeldafan79 completely true but too many Sega fanboys will disagree.

Looking back, my ds/3ds/3dsxl/n3dsxl family of consoles dominated my gaming for over a decade. I played plenty of pc/console games, but my 3ds was always with me. Until March 2, 2017...RIP 3ds, I still haven’t even finished Samus returns.

@blockfight someday you will be old too. Just because I do not participate in something doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. Fortnite and call of duty have dominated gaming for years but that doesn’t mean I play them.

After playing through the demo, I was surprised at how well it ran. The cutscene has more frame drops then the gameplay. I am not about to give any money towards cloud gaming since I just refuse to accept it is the future. But I also accept it is the future and we all will need to deal with it someday. People still buy dvds(kind of) but who really buys or burns cds anymore? My kids want all their games digitally. But one thing I can say is the my dream library is several PCs old, and my iTunes has been around since the beginning, and each iPhone I get still has my music on it. So maybe their is hope for cloud/digital gaming to co-exist with physical games.

I will always preferred to own something physically. However I’m a gamer and I accept that cloud gaming is probably the future and I’m looking forward to trying it. I like physical because over the weekend I sold $400 worth of games so that way I could buy an oculus quest. Can’t do that with digital.

Nmh1 was a solid 8 game with some flaws that nmh2 fixed and is even better. That game is more of a 9. Can’t wait for nmh3.

And days like this is why I love Nintendo. Thank you. Nmh 1+2 will be purchased as soon as I get home.

Yes, I use my switch more in handheld then docked. However, the fact that I can play it both ways means it’s my #1 played console for almost 3 years and I don’t even see a reason for my ps4 or x1 other then the 2 games I have played in them each over last 3 years. I don’t even bother with ps+ anymore. And my x1 is starting to feel that way too.

The same people who complain about a game looking bad are the same ones who play nes classics and minecraft.
This is a great game that I really should put more time into, but there are just too many games that expect that too.

I started with a launch switch. By Xmas that year, we had one for my teenager and another sitting under the tree for my then 7 year old. Now our 4 year old is waiting everyday for me to get home with mine so he can play breath of the wild and Minecraft. A 4th will be under the tree this year, unless I can hold out til March to see if any rumors are true...
Even if other another, I still have a 2 year old who will be gaming in next year if 2.

@Dm9982 the best thing about playing Monster hunter games is after you have played like 5 of them, you see that each has gotten a little better. It’s prob my fav series to watch evolve over like 4 generations now.

Take away the how linear the game was and if you could skip cutscenes, then this was a great game in the same way hyrule warriors is great. (Great game in the Metroid/zelda universe) The hate is only from spoiled fanboys who thought Nintendo was going to make a true super Metroid sequel. it’s probably because of those same fanboys why Nintendo has all but ignored Metroid, and is trying one last time to make prime 4 a worthy successor. Because if prime 4 doesn’t sell, Metroid series is probably dead. Especially when you hear things like how animal crossing switch has outsold the entire Metroid series...and Nintendo is in business to make money.

Nintendo trained me with motion controls for years, and now I’m spoiled and hate playing any game that doesn’t use them.

@diegoarthur I can’t say I’m a fan of roguelikes, I’m a fan of good games, aside from a few frame rate drops, which the switch version is much better then the Wii U, it’s a very fun game I prob logged 50-60 hours with.

Day 1 purchase, in the mean time, I’ll be playing ziggurat again.

How can anything think smg1 is better then smg2? Smg1 is great in every way, except smg2 has Yoshi and more levels then 1.

@skulltulips galaxy 2 I hope as others said, will be available in March after they stop selling the all-star versions, and then start selling them individually on the Eshop. If not, it’s a huge missed opportunity since smg2 is one of the very best.

I read up a while back about new tech where they can use magnets and WiFi to power smart phones. I see that and solar power as the future.

@RazumikhinPG the switch went from rumor to in my hands in barely 2 months. That kind of stuff is how Nintendo has approached this gen.

I quit cold turkey one day and haven’t looked back. I really enjoyed it, it was my 1st AC game, but it just made my son and I want to play BoTW again.

Can’t say I’m not a little disappointed since there was nothing new to get me excited. But still have quite a backlog so it’s kind of a good thing.

@redd214 I’m not complaining with games like bioshock, borderlands, sinking city, outer worlds, to name a few games I either missed last gen or only played 1 of the series. I’ve purchased too many games for my switch, nearing 100. While my ps4 usually only gets a free game every month or 2 since I don’t play anything on that, just warzone by 1 kid when we all not using our switches. But we all still play smash, rocket league, Minecraft animal crossing, as our daily family gaming too. I don’t know why people even have other consoles and complain about a switch library. Pc for like 3 games as well.

I’m sorry. Even if this game is awesome, it hurts my eyes to watch. I loved madworld on Wii but it gave me migraines.

Best, day switch came out. Best console ever and can only be topped by better versions that are always backwards compatible. Worst year, not in my lifetime, as long as I have a Nintendo console to play, which has been the majority of my 38 years

@Rayquaza2510 back before switch was released, Nintendo said something along the lines of how switch wouldn’t be backwards compatible and would be starting from “0”. I take that to mean that switch is the future for Nintendo like iPads are. And even though we just got a new one, it still plays plants vs zombies 1 which has been a staple for our family, so I hope that Nintendo has learned a few things from these other companies too.

I look at gaming as just a few years behind music, tv/dvd. I have hundreds of cds, I still buy them, but now I just get it digitally, then burn a copy to put in my book. My iPhone dies, my iTunes and the 500+ cds are always with me on my new phone. I could pay monthly for music, but the 5 cds I buy a year is less then a service.
I prefer physical games, but now it’s only for the resale. I don’t buy anything digital unless it’s on sale, or I know its a game I’ll have for the duration of owning the console. But next gen, how these companies treat us who bought 90% of our games on switch digitally, when the new switch comes out next gen, are all of my games going to transfer over like my music or my pc game library on steam? That will determine if this gen is my last with keeping up with new stuff, or if I take a break and just make my switch the last console I get. My backlog is already years long, I don’t need more game, but I still buy them.

@BenAV story wise they both great, the 2nd is a near perfect game for its genre.

The game is prob 95% complete and they just waiting until whatever date Nintendo/p+ have agreed to shot for release. And given today’s trends, it be announced 2 months before release, or maybe even less.

By far my all time favorite 3D Mario game. Still plays great, looks great, and has just more awesome levels that smg1, and Yoshi. prob my a time favorite platformer game. Smg1 is great too, just not quite as great.
I’d say odyssey is my next fav followed by sm64.

@dewokkel agreed. Not worth the 10 year wait, but as a bargain bin game, it was great.

Admittedly I bought 2 copies for the house. I’ve never owned an animal crossing game and my 9 year old wanted it so we started a week ago. It’s exactly what I thought, everything fun about playing a life sim and kind of Zelda-lite with no dungeons and fighting. But bug collecting, fishing, etc... I thought I’d be playing catch up to him, but he keeps telling me I’m getting ahead of him

@MysticX ports have been around since the beginning of gaming. PAC man was ported to the nes for example. This gen has been nothing but a port of last gen. Nintendo is not the only ones. The fact that you can buy a Beatles song off iTunes and its not lost to the past with records shows that ports will always be there if people want to item.

I still think Wii U means Wii upgraded. It’s just that it should have been released 3 years prior to when it was, then the message would have been clear. Hd Wii with a bulky Gamepad that is actually awesome. Our Wii U is still in use at our house. Mostly for tv and the hundreds of retro game’s. But it’s because the Gamepad is so easy to use.

@Tasuki maybe, it’s been a few decades and several mega man games, forgive me.
