@Tempestryke Oh yeah, definitely. Hyperkin's model seems like a good choice for those hardcore Nintendo fans out there who couldn't get their hands on the SNES Mini. I wish Nintendo would stop having all of these stock shortages because it's really frustrating.

@Octane I was referring to the subtitle for the article: "the SNES Mini could have competition"

@Zadaris But for the consumers that aren't hugely dedicated Nintendo fans, they'll only hear of the official SNES Classic. I can see Hyperkin's model putting up fair numbers for the hardcore fan base, but outside of that I don't see any mass appeal for it.

I'm sorry, but this thing has no chance against the SNES Classic. One is made by Nintendo and the other is by a smaller, lesser-known company. People would rather buy the official thing.

EDIT: I'm not saying it is a bad alternative to the SNES Mini, I was simply referring to the subtitle Nintendolife made for this article: "The SNES Mini could have competition"

Let's be real, Nintendo needs to completely overhaul My Nintendo. The rewards are garbage.

Decent deals, however I'll most likely drop out of this one because I've already played most of them. I kinda wish Nintendo would offer better deals on games like Microsoft does on Xbox.

It's their fault for going to the event in the first place. It was a given there would be some huge slip up. My advice: don't spend hundreds of dollars to fly out to a Pokémon Go event just to catch a legendary. It's embarrassing and a complete waste of money.

Considering the fact I'm still living on my original black 3DS from 2011, I think it's time for an upgrade. Already pre-ordered and can't wait for release!

Metroid and both Pokémon games for me!

@gatorboi352 Same here! I can't wait to upgrade my original black 3DS from 2011

The box art looks awesome! Can't wait for this game

I'm hyped beyond words for this game.

If only I had a Switch to play this game...

I'm hoping for a sequel, but it's understandable why Platinum would want to release a port for the Switch.

@JaxonH Yeah, I'm still amazed at how Nintendo manages to keep those file sizes down. Most of my games on Xbox are around 50-60 GB which is just insane. Gears 4 clocks in at around 95 GB.

No worries because CoD is worthless trash anyway.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE It's not just Express.

Nintendolife, you're a couple days late on this piece of news:

https://www.gamespot.com/articles/nintendo-exec-switch-could-get-more-wii-u-re-relea/1100-6451170/

Just thought I'd share it. Cheers!

EDIT: Updated link to GameSpot.com.

@BezBot To be fair, games get delayed all the time, and perhaps even more so on other gaming platforms. You'll see a significant amount of delayed games on Xbox and PlayStation, and a lot of the times the delayed games turn out to be disappointing when they finally release. The delays aren't that bad on the Switch.

I'll probably pick up a New 2DS XL when it comes out given the fact I'm still playing on my original black 3DS from 2011. It's about time for an upgrade, and the 3DS boasts one of the greatest game libraries.

Tbh those of you who are buying multiple Switch consoles when you already have one aren't helping the problem.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE You're hard to please, you know that, right?

@SLIGEACH_EIRE I would argue that it's better to have it release on the 3DS. Reggie himself said Nintendo wanted to release it on the 3DS rather than the Switch because 66 million people would be able to play a new Metroid game. It makes sense for a franchise that hasn't seen a good game for years. This way millions people who wanted to play Metroid can get their hands on it this September.

I'm speechless. HYPE!

If only Battlefront II was on the Switch...guess I'll be playing it on my Xbox later this year.

I'm not expecting Nintendo to reveal too much given the fact it's a 30 minute presentation and they have plenty of Directs throughout the year; however, I do expect to hear about virtual console and a Smash Bros. port to the Switch. Some quick news on third-party support would be great, and perhaps there will be a big game reveal nobody saw coming. Maybe Metroid? Guess we'll find out. Still hyped nevertheless!

How is this even surprising to some? The only reason why we're not seeing big third party titles come to the Switch is because developers were hesitant after the colossal failure that was the Wii U. Destiny 2 was long in it's development cycle before the Switch was even announced, so it would be unlikely to see a release anyway. People need to undestand that only the Switch's sales will persuade developers to release more games for the system. And by the looks of the sales figures nearly three months in, it's a big possibility that we'll see games like Destiny and Call of Duty come to the Switch. It's just gonna take time.

I know it's a a bit of a stretch, but it would be amazing if Battlefield or Battlefront saw a release on the Switch. Even if it was just a port of Battlefield 4 I'd be pleased. I highly doubt the Switch could handle Bf1 though, so that's a bit of a bummer. With that said, it's highly unlikely Battlefront 2 will make its way to the system. But one thing is for sure, and that's that Madden must get a release!

@Donderpants Funny you mention that because I finally bought a 2TB external hard drive the other day! I somehow lived on 500GB for over nearly two years...not sure how I did it tbh lol

@Menchi187 Totatally agree, most of my updates on Xbox are around 5-8 GB, sometimes even more.

Still gonna have to pass on this one.

Wind Waker for me. I love that game to death

@Yasume I wish people would stop complaining about everything and just give the Switch a chance. Optimism is so hard to come by nowadays.

"The worst launch in gaming history" is already pushing it. Even the PS4 and Xbox One had worse lineups than the Switch.

Please go somewhere else if all you're going to do is complain.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE You look at that infographic and find a way to complain about it? That's a bunch of indie games that the Switch needs. It's not just about the third-party support, you know.

@setezerocinco Haha thanks! I saw your profile pic in the comment section the other day...I like it!

Awesome! I'm getting more and more optimistic as launch day nears

I hope people realize that Skyrim SE is just a PC port of the original Skyrim to Xbox One and PS4. It's not a remaster, so it doesn't matter.

For people complaining about the lack of third party support, just look at all those developers. Sure, so far we've seen a lot of ports, but that's only because the developers are being cautious after the failure that was the Wii U. If the Switch manages to have a good year in terms of sales I would expect to see more big name games coming to the system in 2018.

I can't believe people are already bashing Nintendo and the Switch when it hasn't even released yet. You at least have to give it a chance, there are plenty of things we don't know. Not saying I agree with everything Nintendo has done with the Switch so far, but I think it's only fair to at least wait until the console comes out.

I strongly think that this thing is going to take off by the holidays. People are definitely interested in what the Switch has to offer, but there just aren't enough games there to justify the $300 price tag at launch. Once more bundles release/a price cut and more games come out, the Switch could be a total game changer. But for now we just gotta wait and see.

I'm confused as to why people are complaining about the prIce. We are clearly looking at a piece of advanced hardware, so it shouldn't be a surprise that it's going to cost $299.99 at launch. Before the Switch's price tag was revealed people seemed to be anticipating $300, but now they're just complaining about it. Let's be real, guys.

I though the presentation was good. Zelda looked absolutely amazing and is without question the killer app for the Switch. Arms looks like a fun game that definitely has my attention, and the news of Skyrim and other big name third party titles is a big step forward. Mario Odyssey looks fantastic and the open world setting fits the franchise perfectly. Splatoon 2 and Mario Kart 8: Deluxe Edition looks great as well.

But I'm not convinced that the Switch will be a worthwhile investment at launch. The starting lineup of games is weak to say the least and it's obvious Zelda is carrying the weight of the launch. The accessories are obscenely overpriced and we still haven't received any work on VC support.

I'm confident the Switch will do well in it'a first year, but I fear it will struggle to find it'a ground until the holiday season. The lack of games at launch and the hefty price of the accessories will put a lot of people off. I do think this thing will take off by Christmas, though.

Can't wait for the presentation tonight! 😀

I think the most important thing Nintendo needs to deliver with the Switch is a solid lineup of great launch titles. Skyrim and 2K17 is nice, but it's a must to squeeze in Breath of the Wild and a couple other exclusives.

That's because nobody plays the game.

Not sure what all the uproar is all about. First of all, the Switch only accepts cartridges, so the Wii U is already out of the question. As for 3DS games, playing an upscaled version of the already low-res game would be awful. It also reduces the cost of the Switch. Smart move by Nintendo if you ask me.

The fact that both Skyrim and NBA 2K17 were shown means that Nintendo will the finally get the third part support it's needed for years

Nintendo wins

@AcesHigh You betcha! We're off 4 straight wins going into a welcoming matchup against Miami...should be an easy win. McCoy's on fire and Tyrod has been playing smart, and there's a good chance Lawson will be ready to go Sunday. Like what I'm seeing so far!

I'm all for a late unveiling as long as the console unexpectedly releases this year.

Go Bills!
