@anoyonmus @BulkSlash yeah Code Veronica on PS4 is very lacklustre. A port of the PS3 version or a remake (probably not with 4 on the way allegedly) would be nice.

It'll he interesting to see if TT will start making non Lego games again if they're not able to keep making them. I can see them probably going the Marvel/Star Wars route and allowing multiple publishers to use the IP, but if not, Lego Skywalker Saga will hopefully be a great send off - and basically bookends an era that began with Star Wars.

@ShadowofTwilight22 pretty much. Outside of simultaneous global launches and PC ports, nothing has really changed with how Atlus handles their games.

That's pretty funny. Looking forward to playing it on my PS5.

@StarPoint Not even AI upscaled, it's just a smoothing filter.

@Mykillvee we're about due a Switch version of Nintendo Selects, overdue even.

It's Dead Aim Remastered.

It's the Wii version? Interesting choice I,must say.

@Hydra_Spectre Jumanji was released on all platforms.

@alexybubble Having some PS5 exclusives didn't stop Bethesda from getting bought by Microsoft. In thos hypothetical scenario, I don't think anything would happen to Smash Bros, or any other game currently on Switch if Square or another company was acquired. Microsoft hasn't been taking down games, and I doubt Sony will do it either.

"Please step on me" "mommy"

Please, shut the f**k up.

Just wanted to say there were 64 comments before I posted.

@KITG_GROUP You literally just agreed with what I said.

@HeadPirate "It's like you seem to get all MS wants is to make money, but you think MAKE THIS EXCLUSIVE is the one size fits all way to do that, despite the fact that every other time MS has done this they approached everything on a case by case basis"

I will refer you to comment #73, where I said games already on other platforms will continue being supported, which includes Minecraft, etc.

I do think there is a good chance we will see more, and that's if Sony allows Game Pass on PlayStation. A few years ago, I'd have said it would never happen. It would cannibalise Sony's bottom line if people could subscribe to their competitors service on their own console instead of buying the games - HOWEVER... With all of these acquisitions, I think there is a strong case to be made that Game Pass could exist on PlayStation in a form where it only includes Xbox Studios games, no third party. I think with all of these buyouts they have enough content to justify a service like that, and it suits Microsoft's ultimate goal of growing the service like I said in my first reply.

@HeadPirate "And I mean ... obviously Skylanders is going to be on Switch"

Skylanders isn't going to be on anything anytime soon.

"You know a great way to make money? Make games for the 70 million install base system that has a demographic that matches your game, instead of just the 20 million install base system that is completely outside of it."

You don't get it, Microsoft are playing the long game here. They want to grow Game Pass.

No it won't include Switch. Future ActiBlizz games will be only available on Xbox, PC and Xcloud. Only games currently already available on Switch and PlayStation will receive support, and they won't delist them either. At best, you can maybe expect ports and remasters to still be multiplatform, such as the recent Quake 1 release.

And no, Microsoft has barely supported the Switch beyond Minecraft and letting Banjo in Smash and Switch online. Ori 1 they published, but Ori 2 and Cuphead were separate from them.

@IronMan30 I think Microsoft considers companies like Apple to be bigger competition.

@Faruko They own King, the makers of mobile game behemoths like Candy Crush.

@KITG_GROUP I don't think that's quite a fair comparison honestly, how many people owned both a Wii and a DS? A lot. So a lot of that 255 million is people who had little choice but to buy both. Whereas with the Switch, you only really need one - although I'm sure plenty have bought multiple Switches, much as they did with all of the different DS models.

It's funny to read that 2013 article link about the handheld and home console departments merging and seeing people pretty much predict the Switch all the way back then.

AC1 port in 3 years

It would be wild if Fortnite became a part of the Frasier/Cheers cinematic universe.

Mario Kart 9 already came out. It's Mario Kart Tour.

@EarthboundBenjy Yeah. Funnily enough Sega was also pretty ahead of the curve when it came to PC ports of their first party content, which we now see as standard for Xbox and even Sony are dipping their toes in that pool.

It sounds crazy but to be fair Sega were no strangers to putting their games on rival hardware, some of their games had Famicom versions back in the day. Altered Beast being one.

I love a good moral panic, you're even telling us to think of the children!

@CoffeeWithGames Oh man, that really sucks now I know there probably was going to be a new Diddy Kong Racing.

Monster was actually a co-developer for Tropical Freeze after their work on Returns 3D. I remember thinking at the time they could be a good studio to take the reigns of the DK franchise (a Diddy Kong Racing by them would've been great), but that was obviously never happening even before this. Bit of a shame.

@larryisaman according to @CoffeeWithGames it was probably a leak situation.

@Burning_Spear still waiting for another chance to get that Bowser's Fury skin. It's currently the only one I'm missing and it's bugging me lol.

@Bolt_Strike Forces was never delayed. They started production for that in 2016.

@johnvboy I dunno. We'd be looking at a very different Rare to the one we have now in this hypothetical situation where Nintendo bought them.

Makes sense it was decanonised, it's a narrative dead end because of that lawsuit.

@burninmylight Maybe if the Switch was flopping we'd get something like that again.

@Mr-X9000 Yeah, there's a lot of older Ubi titles that would be easy sells on Switch. Far Cry, Splinter Cell, Rayman, etc.

I'd like to see the first game get ported too. It has it's own charms that later games didn't expand on, and feels unique. Also wonder if we'll ever get some Watch Dogs ports. The first game at least is an easy port.

@nessisonett Yeah the movie was better than I expected. Only went to see it for Tony Leung and the 88rising soundtrack but ended up enjoying it more generally.

As much as I love the handheld nature of the Switch, seeing this stuff makes me wonder the possibility of a different timeline where we got a more traditional home console.

@nessisonett Is it that they don't realise, or don't care about them being the baddies?

There's been like 20 "indie smash bros" now

@Supadav03 @The-Chosen-one In previous gens, we'd be seeing Nintendo Selects by now too. It's unfortunate there's no indication of that line coming to the Switch. I understand some don't like the packaging, but digitally it'd be nice for those early 1st party games to get cut down in price by even that usual 33% sale cost by default or something.

I can imagine new Switch owners in around a year being asked to spend full price for BotW and Splatoon 2 after the sequels have dropped, which is a bit silly, especially for Splatoon.

@PJOReilly No no, you don't understand. One of the common defences from people is that anyone who doesn't think these remasters are the bees knees is just a younger person who started with GTAV and were too young or not even born yet when the originals came out.

This is a fair score for these poorly done remasters of the shoddy mobile versions of these classic games. Some people (including people on this site) will perform revisionist history and say the originals were worse then they actually were for their time to make this release look better, or chastise you for not eating up whatever slop the billion dollar corporation feeds to you - but that doesn't change the fact that Grove Street Games (formerly War Drum Studios) has failed to do justice to the PS2 trilogy of GTA games twice now.

@CharlieGirl to be fair, those games you just described are basic ports, these new versions of GTA are running on a new engine with new assets and such.

@Deanster101 more plastic sh*t you don't need maybe. For others having a more solid grip is pretty essential for longer play sessions.

Never understood why Switch never got Creation Club. I can understand no mods with Nintendo maybe being iffy about that idea, but not even CC as an alternative?

@KillerBOB "Again, the only people complaining are kids and/or people who never even played the originals."

Yeah, keep telling yourself that buddy. Eventually you'll even start to believe it.

Unlike the other comments I think this ironically looks preferable to the other versions since it looks a little closer to the originals.

@NintendoKnight actually this is how you know something is right. The reason their online has been so poor is because they haven't been investing the money they should be doing to improve their systems, now they are, so in a few years we'll be seeing big improvements presumably.

@HeadPirate The game isn't called GoldenEye 64 officially however, it's title was GoldenEye 007. So that part of this discussion isn't a factor in the game's lack of re-releases up to this point. It didn't stop Doom 64 from getting released on PS4, Xbox and PC with that title anyway.

Activision hasn't had the licence to 007 for years either.

@Specter_of-the_OLED he doesn't. You can see the game he's making on his twitter.

@zool ironically it's a UK based site. I don't get it either.
