@AstroTheGamosian I couldn’t agree more. I would love a new game in the series, or even just an HD collection just to see if it’s worth making a new game. They were a lot of fun on DS and Wii.

@Grumblevolcano the April direct is getting to be more likely. Announce all your games, then in the summer, announce the new console. At least that’s what my brain thinks will happen.

@ArcticSin supposedly the Switch 2 is supposed to be somewhere around the strength of a Steam Deck on the lower end or as powerful as the Xbox Series S based on sources from Nvidia, but everything is still up in the air until Nintendo decides to announce it.

I wish they would add these versions of games to the online service. I’m sure they have the devices that held the data from that time, plus there were those who already uploaded the files to the internet. It’d be cool to let people experience these who couldn’t back then.

@steely_pete I think you’re thinking of the Sega Channel, which I had growing up. It was pretty awesome.

They literally tell you which timeline you’re in in the first 10 minutes of the game. I guess SPOILERS for those who haven’t started the game yet.

The Imprisoning War only takes place in one timeline, and that’s the fallen hero timeline. So this would make BotW and TotK fall into that timeline. I personally feel that BotW can technically be what happens at the end of any of the three timelines, but with TotK specifically talking about The Imprisoning War, it has to fall into the Fallen Hero timeline. Honestly, now I’m hoping for a Zelda game that takes place during this time, because there is no Link, he is dead, so it’d be cool to see how they succeeded in sealing him away. Could be another warriors style game if they wanted.

@Wheatly I mainly bring those games up for those who haven’t played them before on other consoles or PC. I’m not a big graphics guy, I do like them to look nice, but gameplay trumps all. I can see why others may not like them though, 30fps for shooters, especially Doom where it’s so much more fun at 60 or higher.

@Wheatly that’s probably why Capcom created a Switch specific version of the RE engine. Monster Hunter Rise uses it on Switch. All it takes is some engineers to make a customer engine for the hardware and use it to release Switch specific versions on CoD. However, by the time that would happen, the Switch successor would probably be coming out, so if it’s specs are still not close to ps5/Xbox series of consoles, then do the custom engine on that new Nintendo console. Keeping in mind the current Switch runs Doom, Doom Eternal and Wolfenstein 2 at a near perfect 30fps and the games still look graphically pleasing(at least to me they do) and I guess also it runs The Witcher 3. I think the best way to get a CoD game on Switch would be to either port a series of older games(original MW trilogy or the Blops trilogy) or make a custom engine for a new one.

Honestly, the quality isn't good for N64 emulation. But for me personally, if they fix that and add basic chat features for your friends list on the system(party chat, sending messages and what not) then I'll be happy. Also, I think besides expanding the game selection, I think they should add other expansion packs to the service in the future, like add the expansion pass for Breath of the Wild, since the sequel will be coming out, and stuff like that. Also, give members who are the expansion pack members discounts on the eshop, similar to PS plus users

I think if Nintendo has a new Switch to announce, they're going to wait until their Annual Share Holder's meeting at the end of the month. If not then, then I'll say they don't have anything until maybe 2022.

@Prizm
This is just pure speculation, but I think that if this new Switch exists, that the internals are the exact same, maybe something to better keep it from over hesting, but the dock is different. I think the dock will house a separate graphics card that the system will use in docked mode to give it the 4k visuals.

For me personally, I really loved the Zelda 3DS, the black with gold trim around the border.

@TG16_IS_BAE I did not mean to reply directly to you, and I may have misinterpreted your original statement to me.

@PhilKenSebben yeah, I'm mainly referring to piracy. And there are those who dont pirate games, but a lot more do and most companies, in this case Nintendo, will pursue the persons regardless of what they're using the mod for.

@TG16_IS_BAE Actually, yes they can. EULA(End User License Agreement) is a legal contract that all individuals agree to once they purchase their console. In that agreement, you are not permitted to modify the console or software, if you do, Nintendo has every right to take legal action. In the eula they even tell you that if you do not agree with the terms, then you should return the product.

@WesEds I was just about to comment the same thing. The license agreement that everyone has to accept specifically states that you can not modify the console or software

@tourjeff

I think it does? Can't remember. However, they have a working sports engine with Fifa, they could easily use that for a Madden game on Switch, at least I think they could

Here's what I think. My only complaint about the online service is having to use the app for chat. It is terrible and an inconvenience and awkward.

Virtual console:
Nintendo themselves, I think, confirmed that virtual console will not return, at least under the banner "virtual console" which to me means they plan to release more classic games with their online service. If you look on their website and read the outline for the service, it says "will launch with 20 NES Classic games, with more to come" something along those words. Meaning we're getting more games, could just be more nes, maybe on year 2 they'll do SNES, who knows.

They(Nintendo) also said that more details about their online service will come later before launch, meaning we still don't know everything. For $20 a year, there isn't much to complain about. It's a third the cost of Xbox and ps4. Also, they're adding online features the those classic games, online multiplayer and the "pass the controller" thing are awesome.

I think most people are nitpicking due to what has been announced not being what we wanted, which I understand. Hopefully when all details are revealed things will be clearer about what Nintendo plans are for online
