All I can think is if you want a work out, get a vr headset and play beat saber and super hot for 30 minutes.

This would be cool if it works a little smoother.

Nintendos biggest mistake was spitting in Sonys face thinking they were too big headed and didn’t need Sony back in the 90s. it was a rough few years but Nintendo found its footing and is only stronger. Also, I can’t argue that today the market is better for Sony being here.
However, sony is acting big headed and better then everyone else alright now, and they don’t have the 1st party catalog to fall back in. Especially when their biggest selling game is cod, owned my Microsoft now…

I turn 40 next month. I always thought I’d put grow video games. Instead, ds, Wii U and now switch have all allowed me to not just continue my gaming as I want with games like witcher 3 on the go, but countless hours of Mario, smash, Minecraft etc, with my kids, who are also getting their own switch’s and continuing nintendos legacy. I’ve had plenty of other consoles/pc as well, but I can’t sit at work on break and play dark souls with my son at home on ps can I? Switch is the best console I’ve held period

I feel like the 1% who are complaining about this are the same 1% that are pirating games saying it’s justified because of actions like these. However, Nintendo is making no money from fans on these stores anymore, and probably none from the 1% in first place.
I’m sure there are plenty of music and movies that have been lost to time and those same 1% still complains about Napster being shut down.
Don’t buy digital and this won’t happen. Just wait til cloud gaming takes over. Shows leave Netflix, games leave the Eshop. Enjoy the digital future.

Day 1 purchase. One of my favorite Wii games, been waiting for a sequel since then. Thanks Nintendo.

@Matty1988 almost. My Wii U has almost every one, and the few it doesn’t, I have my 3ds. I think that a few more years will go by, and switch will have most as well.

From a system that I wouldn’t let my kids touch, to something that has chunks of plastic broken off is casing, my launch switch has taken quite a beating over 5 years. It has survived plenty of drops, but best was the day I sat it i top of my truck as I was loading kids into back seat, then drove off. Got like 2 miles down road, realized, turned back to find it sitting on side of road in dirt, still 100% intact and working. We just got our 4th switch, being that I wanted an oled and my youngest was using the launch one more and more. Everyone now has one in the house, except the wife, who just rolls her eyes at us

And my personal favorite, all time most played, is not on my switch. Geometry wars galaxies for the Wii. I wish we just had retro evolved if we didn’t get a full on game.

I feel like it is only a way to prevent people from buying it for switch over the other consoles. Everyone I know who has ps5/Xbox, play the same 3 games over and over. They don’t buy anything amd only play games over things like game pass now. At the same time, everyone I know who plays switch, has a stack of games and buys them faster then they can play them.
As for the cloud part, I am not happy with this future they are trying to force us into. However, my 4g phone can hotspot and stream games with my switch and I’ve had no real issue they few games I’ve played. I am going to try the kingdom hearts demo both at home and work. I will not be paying more $20 for those as cloud versions, just like hit man and control. I played them and felt like I’m good, and they were worth the time/money. I can’t use my Xbox to play guardians of galaxy on my lunch break…but I can with switch.

I’m sure the scammers are still at it with the kind of money they make off people.

@Gamer_Zeus super hot is freaking awesome in vr and the fact you get a work out is an added bonus, imo.

@Ryu_Niiyama and they don’t get dated so that 10 years from now, it will still look great.

Day 1 purchase for me. I do hope it has some kind of co-op…

I'm happy that fans are happy, but after playing the 1st, 2nd, and 4th, I am done with this series forever. I miss prince of persia and would love to see that entire series ported over. Even the terrible next gen one would all be day 1 purchases. But we just keep getting the AC games which i am just exhausted with. The overall gameplay loop just became boring and I don't care about story as much as gameplay.

@Peder7berg correct, we have 3 and I will be getting an oled since another one of my kids is getting into gaming and I barely get to use mine right now.

@GayusGayerni don’t know what the banned comment before was, but you are right. The vocal few have their voices turned up to 11, while the majority sit in silence, too busy working and having lives to worry about being offended by every piece of media out there. It’s why I don’t bother with social media and outside of a couple sites, I don’t comment much since I forget that that not everyone on the internet is rational. I’m sure I offended someone with this, but sometimes that’s what the truth does.

@Optimist80 this is how we all need to look at the world.
This game isn’t for me, but if it is playable and cheap, then I’m sure some will enjoy it.

@Johnion I know, using a hybrid system meant to be played anywhere, is weird. I forget that I am talking to a bunch of kids sometimes. Some people have lives that do not let them play 8 hours a day, suiting home in front of a tv and have more to worry about then if I can enjoy a game on a particular system. Some, like me, have been gaming for near 40 years and it’s great that I can still fit it into my life because of systems like switch, and even Wii U. Stopped plenty of arguments with the wife about me playing ps3 on the tv when I could use my Wii U.

@Johnion I will willingly pay full price, for a third time, to have twilight princess on my switch, so I can enjoy it while on lunch breaks just as I have with my switch since launch. Putting some time into Witcher 3 right now. It’s nice to not be tied to a console hooked to a tv at home. And my Wii U is still there waiting for those occasional gaming sessions, that are getting further between since, well, since switch continues getting games.

@Johnion what a world we live in that our ability to enjoy a game depends on a failed console with a bulky gamepad.

I enjoyed tp on Wii with terrible controls. It was better on Wii U. And I am looking forward to playing it at work on my lunch break in my switch someday, even if I have to hit a button to open a menu.
Just the fact I can play botw on the go make it better then the Wii U even if it kept all the features they axed.

But as with the rest of the world, we will be looking into the wants of the few before the many since that seems like a future we want, instead of having fun.

I understand that people make a living off gaming, writing reviews, developing games etc…. Rest of us gaming is a hobby that passes time or is fun with friends and family. I guess it’s the 1% that live in their parents basements, spending their days gaming in the metaverse that nfts are for. Since I know they are not anything I care to learn or be a part of.

This game as a single player has aged and it is only fun to play for the nostalgia. Now if you got 4 people to play some local splitscreen, then it is still hours of endless fun. Remote mines were always one of my favorite weapons. Online would be a great addition…

And I will buy one of these the day it does come out because they have my respect.

I’m not in that big of a hurry, but I have checked about once a week at my work for an oled switch and still haven’t picked one up…
I’ll be getting it no matter before summer since some my gaming moves outside as well.

@B_Lindz Nintendo’s accessibility comes from the fact my 3 year old has figured out how to botw, Mario. He runs around hyrule with my character, maxed out, beating enemies. My 5 year old can take down shrines and the divine beasts with me helping him along. My 10 year old is better then me and beats Ganon taking no damage, parrying most attacks. And then you got me, old man who acquired the bike on hard mode with some struggling. sorry to those who are blind, Nintendo is not thinking of you for its 100 hour action adventure game. But as far as I’m concerned, zelda is more accessible then pretty much anything we want to play on our ps/Xbox.

Sonic is a series that I always felt should have just died with sega after Dreamcast. And judging by the fans above, I’m not the only one. They have kept it alive on pure nostalgia and not because the games are any good. Try saying that about zelda or Mario.

I love how complete strangers think they have a say in how someone else spends their time/money.

As someone who builds things, great job is all I have to say.

2 of my favorite games in this genre. Played 1st on ps3 and always wondered why god of war was so popular. As a game, bayonetta is far better. As a movie, gow is better. Then bayonetta 2 comes out, and is even better. Quite possibly one of the best action games period

@Randomname19 as someone who is a couple years older, ubicrap hasn’t changed. Doesn’t mean there haven’t occasionally been an ok game, but then they a sequel every year until it dries up.

@HamatoYoshi I pay $50 for something, play it for a month of two, sell it for $45. Cost me $5 to play a game like outer world, and I have no intention on replaying. I’ve owned enough digital stuff that I don’t use and literally just wasted money on since I can’t get it back, I’ll go physical as often as possible. Other then that, I am the first to sell a game I own to pick it up digitally if the sale warrants it

@HamatoYoshi so you can play it, then sell it. Not every game stays in my collection after completing.

@RubyDevilNine I was think same thing as I scrolled down reading.

I see it differently. Tetris and Mario were Nintendo killer apps, released before Pokémon. Pokémon would have died with the game gear since no one would have heard of it. A few years later, Nintendo would think it’s a good idea to do a game called Nintendmon and it would be a global success and we would even see a smartphone app. Pokémon released in like 96, and if anything, it gave Nintendo a reason to not upgrade hardware because it renewed interest in a dying system.

Not to shabby, just under 1000 hours overall, with Minecraft(as expected) being #1 this year since one of my sons tried to claim my switch last summer and that’s all we played all summer. 60/40 docked to portable. Dark souls and botw were 2 and 3 respectively. Not bad year of gaming since I played 64 games over 37 year prior.

One of these days, all these “news” sites, YouTubers will realize that of you think out loud that Nintendo is going to do something, then they don’t.

Good for them, always nice to see a small dev succeed in a world of AAA development. Not my type of game though, so I am not one of the million.

Seeing this list just makes me want the rest of the dark souls series to get ported over to switch, yesterday. My son and I are on our 6th playthrough as it is. I ended up getting another ps3, and both dark souls 2 and demons souls for us to play after.
Ashen is ok, but nothing else on switch compares to dark souls.

I guess after the kids get home from school, we will be firing up the Wii for some smash instead of the switch for night. GameCube controllers and all.

To 20 years and thousands of hours of gaming, thanks Nintendo

As expected, zelda 2 and triforce heroes. Zelda 2 Clark as terrible in an age where there was no internet and you just had to figure it out as a 11 year old renting games over the weekend. Triforce heroes had so much potential, but really was ruined by the forced multiplayer and not having competent bots. That was a fun game to play with friends, but I only even did that maybe 5 times. Just like Metroid fed force…only fun to play with friends, but a terrible Metroid game.

Most of the time, a frame from doesn’t bother me. The worst I’ve seen on a decent game was blighttown back on ps3. Still playable, but very noticeable. Never bothered me and I never felt like it affected the game for me. However, the worst I can remember was oblivion in ps3, where the game would crash when it rained in game. That’s unplayable and shouldn’t ever be allowed. I am content with a locked 30fps for most games. 60fps is nice for the faster paced games, but it has to be locked in because I think any drops are more noticeable.

@WoomyNNYes I’ve been a gamer my whole life, and that statement will never change. It used to be pc/Nintendo was what you needed. Now, pc can be replaced with Xbox or ps, but you still need a Nintendo to really get a full variety of games. Nowadays, you really need 3 to cover all your gaming needs, a switch, vr headset, and a decent pc or ps/xbox.

Reason 1…I am a nearing 40 year old gamer, with wife/kids/job and can still find time to play awesome games because of how accessible the Wii U, 3ds, and now switch are. I am the dad who spends his hour lunch playing a game at work with my kids at home, using FaceTime to chat. Lately, is either Mario maker, Minecraft, or dark souls. I am in my 5th playthrough with one of my boys, and we not stopping til we hit 7.

2-5 reasons, see above.

It’s free advertising, plain and simple. Look at the buzz it has created. I never heard of it and now I’ll see it on sale for $5 or so, and they got a sale. I would never have thought about getting this until now.

Or there is some hacker exploit in the game that they want to capitalize on before it gets taken down…

I sat down with a friend, and we spent about 30 hours, over 2 days, to beat this back in 6th grade. Went in blind and was 1st zelda we both beat, never finished 1st one back then.

And I will be purchasing once it reaches a level of completion that will warrant whatever sale price I find it in a few months.

I think I like the overall presentation more then the actual style gameplay it is. Too bad because if this was more like resident evil, I’d be all over it. But instead, it’s a walking sim with scavenger hunt like so many I’ve played.

We still dig out the Wii U to play some sports every couple months. I enjoy the upgraded version more then the original, but it’s all fun. I remember thinking that all Nintendo did was take pong and update it with motion controls, and it sold millions.

This is still one of my favorite games of all time. I will replay this and usually another zelda once a year so I guess I’ve beat it over 15 times.

@NRLPLSTCTY I would have paid $100 for dark souls on switch. I’ve logged 1000s of hours between switch and ps3. Would pay anything to have rest of series on switch. My son and I are playing our 5th play through together, going for 7.

I enjoyed this back on the Wii. Probably won’t pick up again though.
