Illusion

Buying Resident Evil 1 digitally when it comes out. Cheaper than Ultra Street Fighter II and I got that day one because a good game is a good game.

"We swear on launch day to deliver to our consumers not just a turd, but a polished turd."

Fallout 3 on Xbox One. One of the greatest games ever.

@Ludovsky makes sense to me.
Now with Super Mario Bros/duckhunt, zapper, and two controllers! 😋

I don't believe this rumor. If Nintendo is developing new SKUs, they'll be nothing like anyone can predict. That's how they roll. Like my current iteration of the Switch, so unless a new one comes with the ability to run Fallout 3, New Vegas, the Dragon Age trilogy, and a version of Soul Calibur, I probably won't care for years.

Definitely no. Stop reaching to connect everything to some of the sadder portions of a used to be funny webcomic.

Enter the Gungeon is a phenomenal game for Roguelike bullethell enthusiasts with a sense of humor.

@hadrian Starfox: Battle for Atlas was pretty enjoyable. Not indie, but still good and not Nintendo.

I'll get the Contra collection day 1.
Might wait for a sale on Castlevania Collection (Bloodstained Curse of the Moon can tide me over)
No need for the Arcade collection. Not that nostalgic for their arcade versions.

Ocarina of Time on Wii U. After that, Wind Waker HD.

Have on 360. Will definitely rebuy for portable greatness.

Your Character: I found a girl's corpse in a river....that reminds me....time to find a girl to hook up with!

Yes. Shigeru Miyamoto has directly or indirectly influenced every part of the gaming industry and my life would be very different without the likes of Zelda and Mario. I will probably be weepy for days after he dies, but I'm glad parts of him will live forever in our own dreams and happy places.

@AlexSora89 you could create your own with save states. Also, acquiring the warp whistles isn't too hard.

Never played Undertale. Did play through this and though I don't get invested in many turn based RPGs, this game hooked me. I'm probably going to cave and get Undertale eventually, just like I'll pay for chapter 2 of this. More games should offer the first 25% for free. Allows me to try things I never would for any amount of money because I loathe Final Fantasy and suffer through Earthbound and Super Mario RPG for their quirky stories.

I liked the first Doom. Rewatch it every year or two.
I also like Silent Hill, Resident Evil 1 and 2, Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter, and Super Mario Bros, so my taste in videogame movies isn't amazing 🤣
Doubt this new Doom will turn out better than the first one.
Edit: Wing Commander is also an enjoyable watch....just need to survive the characters cringey emotional dialogue.

@Marios-love-child too bad you're not in the US. All Mario Switch games are 33% off today at Walmart.

Finishing Skyward Sword and starting Ocarina of Time. Mario will just have to be happy for Link this year. I also played Donkey Kong, Mario Bros, Super Mario Bros 1, 2, 3, Super Mario Odyssey, and Punchout!! Recently, so I think Mario has had enough time in the sun for a few more weeks at least 😜

My plan today:
Starfox 64 3D on 3DS
House of the Dead 2 on Dreamcast
Skyward Sword on Wii U-should beat this weekend and move on to Ocarina of Time by Monday.

@BenAV their E3 "show" is a parody of all the other big shows. I think their E3 segment from 2 years ago only highlighted like 2 games for 30 seconds, other than that it was pure comedy insanity. Fake blood, outrageous deaths, and yelling at their studio audience aka actors.
Don't watch it for games. Its just plain hilarity.

A 2D Zelda in 2019 exclusive to Switch online.
Yeah, its true. That's called Zelda II on the Switch online service. 😋
Moving on.

Hate Kid Icarus.
Star Tropics is good, but brutally hard. Save states are your friend.
Waiting for Star Tropics II, much more fun.
So annoyed the West keeps getting only 2 games a month.

Never believed it before. Still don't. Nintendo has far too many rumors that are proven false on a regular basis the past couple years. Until Nintendo announces anything, it does not exist.

Decided to restart my game playing kick. This weekend is Atari Flashback Classics on Switch, Atari Flashback Gold 8 HD for Activision games, MAME arcade for other arcade games, NES Classic, followed by Sega Genesis Collection for Switch, and SNES classic which'll probably carry me a couple weeks.

Nooooooo...but I'm happy it'll come out one day.

Already own it on gameboy and it's one of my least favorite Zelda games, so not at 60. Maybe not all.

I still consider myself a Zelda fan, but many of the portable games haven't clicked with me, including the original Link's Awakening which I owned on my gameboy as a child. It was okay, but I always felt the gameplay and puzzles were beneath the first 3 games. I don't look forward to this remake, especially if its just the same game with updated graphics. I'm a huge Zelda fan and I hope this game is great for everyone, but I'm not excited about it for me. This is my opinion.

Yes, after the half dozen rumors about Metroid Prime Trilogy, SNES online, Spyro Trilogy, and Star Fox Racing lets all get overly excited because Nintendo is looking at VR.
Newsflash they're always looking into it, but it ain't coming to Switch in 2019 for the reasons others have mentioned above.

@andrew124 there are people who don't enjoy the same games you do. This is because we do not all have the same brains, personalities, likes, and dislikes.
I like Nintendo. The fact I dislike puzzlers, JRPGs, and sports games is my opinion. I am glad that most people were pleased with the announcements. I'm looking forward to Daemon x Machina, but most of the direct was not targeted toward me and that is okay. I like most Zelda games more than Link's Awakening, build your own Mario game 2 is not something I ever desired, and I feel very disengaged during JRPGs.
I don't have to like and buy every Nintendo product ever made to be a Nintendo fan. I'm a Nintendo fan because I like MOST things they make. If that's not good enough for you, take it up with Nintendo and get them to revoke my Mynintendo ID.

@Welshland I loved it, but I do love giant robots so I'm biased. Good gameplay. Seems like most people enjoy it too.
The customization of your character and mech were awesome in my opinion.

Beat Super Mario Bros 2 yesterday.
Halfway through Kirby's Adventure.
Beat the demo for Daemon x Machina yesterday.
Played some Iron Crypticle. Once I get bored of that, might need to replay through Shovel Knight Treasure Trove campaigns in anticipation for King Knight.

I didn't like it. Glad so many others did, but other than Daemon x Machina and Starlink there was very little that appealed to me. Not a fan of Link's Awakening, Mario Maker, puzzlers, or RPGs so felt sadly bored during most of it. Also had hoped for SNES announcement but oh well. Hoping more things appeal to me during E3.

Happy about the Daemon ex Machina demo.
Happy Starlink is getting more content.
Other than that, this is my least favorite direct since the announcement of the Switch.
Not interested in a single other thing shown during the direct. Link's Awakening is one of my least liked Zeldas and build your own Mario game (or be tortured by someone elses) does not appeal to me.
Also, far too many RPGs shown off during this one (another genre I have a few exceptions for, but loathe most)
Guess I'll just enjoy what I have for most of 2019. Here's hoping E3 is better.

Loved it. Boss took 4 tries because I was bad at life. Loved customizing myself and my mech. Definitely getting day one.

Hoping for SNES Switch online news and surprises. Lots of surprises.

More controversial than aborting baby space hitler after having your soul plucked from your lifeless corpse and having to deal with all the PTSD that brought you there for the final boss of Earthbound?

I have 20 retail games and around 80 playable icons on my dashboard (ten of which are probably demos). My game purchases have slowed way down for 2019 so I'm looking forward to the next Direct. Love having so many console and arcade quality games portable. Many for the first time. By not being a PC gamer since 2012 I've missed quite a few good indies like Enter the Gungeon, ShovelKnight, and Broforce that I've sunk about a hundred or so hours into each.
I expect even more great games on Switch.

Enter the Gungeon has sucked me back in. Done 250 runs now and killed the pasts of the main 4. Haven't made it through bullet hell or unlocked the bonus characters so always something to strive for.
Played the demo for Bad North. Was pretty fun and will buy eventually, but after preordering Iron Crypticle I think I should give it a few weeks before informing the missus that I want even more games.
Keep playing the NES app, blew through the fast n fun ones recently, now need to see if I have the gumption to play through either Zelda or Mario 3.

@WaveBoy yup, gotta rely on pro controller for docked dpad play. Doesn't happen often at my house and when I do play NES on the TV, its normally with my NES classic with the classic controller.

I have the Hori Dpad joycon. I really like it and it performs as well as a Nintendo joycon, its just lighter due to the lack of rumblers and wifi.

Including myself, I know 5 Switch owners. I barely associate with more people than that so that market is pretty saturated. Gotta get them casuals and hardcore ps4/pc holdouts.
Wish Nintendo luck on meeting their next goal, but they're going to need a lot more games to do it.

@MBII not at all, but Nintendo is carrying it uncensored on their console that also has Mario collective gasp of overrective parents. At least they'll be able to get the censored version on playstation because they have standards that'll protect your family. Feel free to play all the mature games you want there, as long as its just language and nightmarish amounts of gore.
All joking aside I'm glad Ninty doesn't have a moral code that all licensed games must pass nowadays. Unlike Sony. Weird times.

Got it for xmas. Only played 3 games because they take a looooong time. I'd play more but my wife was like: omg haven't you won that culture victory yet?! 😂.
I'll get back into it eventually, but its a fun stroll down memory lane of when I used to play civ2 on my windows 98 pentium 2 computer.

The Seal of Quality's only purpose to me is nostalgia. It looks nice and I sometimes steal removable versions from T-Shirts and other merch to slap on my Switch dock and entertainment center. There's enough good, popular stuff that letting people publish darn near whatever is fine. DOA Extreme won't cause a mass boycott of Nintendo Products, nor will Vroom in the Night Sky cause 98% of the North American public to just stop buying video games. Its just a cute little badge nowadays. Nothing more.

@NotTelevision haha, yeah, that dam with its electric seaweed was so brutal. I enjoyed it as a kid though...neeever beat it however, unlike TMNTII and TMNTIII with the konami codes of course 😅

Great games. Disappointed we only get 2 a month for 2019, but I guess that's how it is.
Waiting on Punchout!!, Star Tropics, Star Tropics II, Double Dragon II, Contra, Super C, Castlevania, and Castlevania III, then the NES app will be reasonably complete to me.
Missing the TMNT games, but I don't think we'll see a legal version of those on this.

Assume official announcements of Metroid Prime Trilogy HD and Star Fox Racer.
Other possibles are:
Skyward Sword HD
New 2D Zelda
F-Zero
Waverace
Mario Maker
Pikmin 4
Super Mario RPG or Paper Mario games

Iron Crypticle preordered from eshop. Otherwise waiting on King Knight DLC. A friend of mine preordered the knight amiibos for me. Not too many games to look out for me, but probably for the best. My Switch has over 60 already and many retro game compilations.

I'm subscribed. Mostly for the NES games. Rarely play any of my games online.
I'd love to see SNES games, free Nindies, discounts on eshop, and other "special offers" besides paying for NES controllers or free Splatoon 2 cosmetic gear.

I just speed past the revision and go straight to: more expensive online service 😕
They coulda just started with a good one and not make me upgrade or worse, have two different paid subscriptions on switch.
I'll wait for it to materialize before whining more. And if it does show up, I'll probably get it, but why not just improve the current one?
