The only games I wanna have come to the Switch are the HD Zelda games and Pikmin, porting the rest just don’t interest me.

Ain’t getting anything done for days once I get my hands on this

Hopefully this is a sign we’re going to find out about the next Breath of the Wild game pretty soon.

I’m so surprised it still exists, it’s probably one of the most worthless things Nintendo has ever put out.

This would be so much fun if it was real, I bet Nintendo doesn’t do it.

@Xansies I am hopeful with the Switch’s successor that they’re able to figure out a better design, maybe the dock could help and not just with cooling.

I wonder why they couldn’t keep the resolution up while docked. If that’s the biggest problem I think its gonna great.

They’re probably saving all the stuff we’ve been asking for, for the very last patch.

@Dm9982 they do know their craft quite well. My only issue is that just doesn’t make any sense to have multiple units in the adjacent tiles to an alien and them having a high chance of hitting and then missing most or all the shots.

@RPGamer from my understanding they actually retconned the ending of the first game to justify the second. There really isn’t that much story in the first game, its quite a barebones experience.

Virtuos needs to change their name to optimization gods, getting XCOM 2 to work with only half the memory is amazing. I wish they would share their profound optimization skills with other developers.

@FargusPelagius its more complicated than that. Nintendo Of America did not want to sell the game, Xenoblade was one of the three games involved in Operations Rainfall. If I'm remembering correctly Gamestop got the exclusive rights to sell the game and jacked the price up.

I hope that the epilogue is as good as the main game, though it's gonna be a bit jarring loosing some main story mechanics and everyone but Shulk and Melia. I hope they've done something wild to justify it just being just Shulk and Melia from the main game with something like they're on their honeymoon and then things go south really fast.

@Zuljaras aside from the perspective Metroid Prime 1-3 have little in common with first person shooters, the emphasis is still exploration. The games retain the sense of isolation and at times horror.

It’d sure be a welcome surprise and would give me something to do after Xenoblade

@KryptoniteKrunch I don’t think their respective companies were so tight lipped, all we’ve gotten is that one trailer.

They brought this on themselves being this tight lipped, even just showing a few screenshots would’ve calmed things down.

@Kalmaro its quite the different game, and from what I remember quite fun.

@necrite13 maybe there will be chaos/destruction achievements

Am I the only one that wants to cause the biggest pile up possible?

@Kirgo the fact they weren’t ever going to be able to go and upgrade everything they wanted says there was a money issue in how much money was allocated. Its my hope that if they do DLC they’ll be able to give somethings the proper love they deserve. With luck we’ll get new modes like a master mode with the new DLC.

Someone needs to get rid of these arbitration clauses, they do so little good if any and so much harm.

I kind of hope they’re working on BOTW 2 because I am really wanting to see with this new dark Zelda is going to be like. Still I really wanna see a new Xenoblade as long as the main character ain’t silent like in X or a gating issue like there was with the blades in 2.

@benchan come on its Xenoblade 3 so they’ll triple it and they’ll be so embarrassingly designed it’ll receive a M rating.

@Aneira Civ 5 was a good game at launch but it was substantially better with its expansions and from what I've heard the same is true of 6.

I’m kind of surprised they talked about the budget problems limiting the scope, I would’ve thought Nintendo would’ve made sure they had all the money they needed. I am disappointed that we get a casual mode which I am fine with but no hard mode.

I know news is slow but giving PETA attention is never a good idea.

@Aneira I played the base game after playing 5 and I liked it quite a bit but never got the expansions. I was tempted to get it for Switch so I could relax and play in bed or on the couch or whatever. Dealing with major game problems ain't my idea of relaxing.

It seems like every time this game is in the news it is because it is suffering some pretty big problems. At this point I'm glad I didn't buy it.

I could understand counterfeits looking this bad in the 90s but why do they still look so awful?

I’d prefer a new game but this is ok I guess.

@RiasGremory I wish I could have your confidence but after Nintendo did nothing for Metroid's 30th anniversary and Federation Force and Other M I can't.

As long as they announce a Metroid Prime Trilogy remake, with some extensive work done on 3 I’ll be happy.

I need to see more of the game before I even commit to buying it let alone pre-ordering it.

If they can fix the performance issues I'll consider picking it up otherwise I'll pass.

Long as they don’t get in the way of traditional games I don’t care one way or another.

@RPGamer I doubt they would do it but I wish they'd change the ending so its more in line with the original tone between the the Metroid Queen and the new last boss. In the original after you beat the queen the game conveys a sense of serenity, and triumph and encourages reflection but in the remake its replaced with building up the last boss. They could accomplish it easily by doing things like the game covertly creating a checkpoint after killing the Metroid Queen and having her provide enough items to recover all your health and such.

It would give the game parity with Zero Mission in how the Space Pirates rob Samus of her triumph against Mother Brain by shooting her down. It would also allow a feeling of triumph over the last boss that's independent of overcoming the Metroids. By robbing the player of their feeling of triumph it would also amplify the message that the Space Pirates are underhanded and opportunistic and help the player feel about the Space Pirates the way Samus does.

Nintendo would have to implement a lot to get my money, I doubt they’re willing to do it.

@RPGamer if they bring Samus Returns to the Switch I don't want a port. I shouldn't have to buy an Amiibo to use Fusion mode, the Omega Metroids aren't that challenging for being the adult form, and I got really tired of the Metroids running away to other rooms. Without some polish the game ain't gonna look that good on a TV.

@RPGamer if its a new game I hope its more like Zero mission or Fusion than Samus Returns.

I think I will be happy with whatever it is unless it’s Federation Force 2 or anything like Other M, though honestly I’m hoping for a Prime trilogy remake.

I'd really like a remake of the first three games!

@DCorp there's a rumor of a new Metroid, any word if its a remake or a brand new game?

@Varkster I really think that Monolith Soft being a subsidiary of Nintendo will help prevent the problems we see occurring with Final Fantasy. Nintendo is generally very good about encouraging games to stay in development till they're ready.

@JR150 if they made Final Fantasy 7 we wouldn't have got two of my favorite albeit flawed games Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean and Baten Kaitos Origins.

@Alucard83 what Nintendo could do is buy the rights to the Baten Kaitos series. Monolith Soft made the games so it'd be cool to see them remake the first two games e.g. better dialogue and voice acting, getting the option to use Origin's deck system in the original and produce new games. Nintendo owns Eternal Darkness Sanity's Requiem and its as much a RPG as it is a horror adventure game. Nintendo make could make Eternal Darkness into a series that has even more RPG elements than the original.

I hope the game is as good as it looks. Am I the only one that thinks the opening is really creepy?

The good news just keeps rolling in, Nintendo must really wanna make Xenoblade their Final Fantasy.

@NotoriousWhiz Xenoblade 2 is tied to the original but 2 isn’t a sequel.

@Trajan I think I read that it is using the Torna engine.

@MrBlacky I'd say that after this coming generation of consoles they'll have to start pushing things liked advanced AI or go the Nintendo route and start making hybrid consoles provided battery tech advances enough.

@Friendly it actually has new content in it e.g. a new area, and a remastered soundtrack along with the original.

@playstation_king they're the first new entries of the main series to evolve from handhelds to consoles. I thought with the evolution and with the Switch being so popular that the series would've sold better than it has. I suspect some of it has to do with the overblown controversy about the pokedex and in my opinion more valid issue with animations. I don't think these issues had that much of an affect and something else has prevented them from excelling sales wise like I expected.

I wonder why the sales figures are so low.
