That's great news! The more people who can play Octopath Traveler, the better. Now they need to bring this gem over to the PS4, and that will be a day-1 purchase for me at full price.
I don't disagree with anything you said, except for the Switch 2 coming out in 2 years. It won't. The PS4 Pro runs all PS4 games better. Everyone, including myself, will attest to that. I don't play games on my base PS4 anymore. That isn't saying that they don't work on the base PS4, but rather they don't work well, run at a stable frame-rate, or offer a resolution or frame-rate option as those on the PS4 Pro. If Sony can make the PS4 Pro work, and they have since they are difficult to find being sold out everywhere, Nintendo can too. Nintendo has already stated that the Switch family will run for 10 years. They can do that by releasing a Pro version, which will allow for 3rd party developers to have choices, so that they can offer their base games for the OG Switches, and a resolution or extra frame-rate options for those whom will be buying the Switch Pro. It's a win-win for all, IMHO.
At the end of the day, Nintendo will be releasing a Switch Pro. Where there's fire, there's smoke, and there is just too much smoke right now for the Switch Pro for it not to turn out to be a reality.
The point in having a Switch Pro version is so that it can run 3rd, and even 1st party, games at a more stable frame-rate. Being able to run 3rd party games well will result in more developers porting their games over to the Switch, making Nintendo more billions of dollars.
How many hundreds of millions have Nintendo made over the past 4 years selling individual Switch owners 2, 3, 4+ pairs of Joy-Cons because they keep getting drifts?
Sakurai had just lost all credibility. He claimed to play 60 hours of CP 2077 on the PS4 Pro and had encountered a "few bugs" is just an outright lie. Given less than 1% of people who bothered getting a successful refund, CDPR still made out with billions with 13+ million copies sold. We have to move away from those in the gaming industry who think normal practice is to release a completely broken game to satisfy their investors, and betting on the fact that less than 1% of the gamers who had purchased their lies will ask for a refund. This is totally unacceptable.
I hope the next console will be the Switch 2 with BC with the Switch's games. Having a more powerful Switch Pro right now would be a smart move that would allow Nintendo and developers to port the latest games like Cyberpunk 2077 or AC: Valhalla and others to the Switch. But I don't see Nintendo making that move.
Limited time is just stupid and money grabbing, dirty tactic by Nintendo. Mario 64 port showed no effort at all by Nintendo since it's not widescreen, barely looks smoother, and doesn't even run at 60 fps for a game that 24 years old. Mario Sunshine also doesn't run at 60 fps, and no Mario Galaxy 2, yet Nintendo wants the full $60 for this mess??? Hard pass.
It's just astounding to me the low effort Nintendo put into the Mario 64 port, and the lack of Mario Galaxy 2 in this 2nd All-stars is just egregious. Everyone should pass on this collection. It's the only way to let Nintendo know that we won't put up with this kind of low and poor efforts into our much beloved games.
Suikoden 2 is one of my favorite games of all time. I've must have completed it at least 5 times over the past 20 years. Suikoden 1 is also a very good game as well. The soundtrack of those two games are amazing, especially Suikoden 2's.
Why would anyone buy FIFA 20 now when 21 will be out in 4 months? Don't they shut down some of those battle servers, and migrate them over to FIFA 21? Players will move on to 21 as well, and that will decimate the transfer market.
I'll be just as happy if Nintendo can just send more Ring Fit Adventure units to the US! How can they be releasing all of these games and yet still can't get any Ring Fit units to market out here?
1) Can you plant a foreign perfect fruit on your island to get a foreign perfect tree?
2) Do you need a Nintendo Online subscription in order to go to a friend's farm to get a foreign fruit?
@link3710 Hopefully, Nintendo would learn by now that if given a chance, people would buy a more powerful Switch vs a less powerful one. Bring out the Switch Pro now!

@Bunkerneath Why? At minimum, a Switch Pro will run all current games better, with smoother stability.
