@Lord there's going to be about as much confusion as there was when people moved on from PlayStation 4 to PlayStation 5.

@Lord I mean there's literally no confusion, it's called "Switch 2". It's like saying the PlayStation 4 is the same thing as the PlayStation 5.

It is a heartrate monitor by the looks of it.

I will keep saying it, if you abandon a hardware platform and you no longer make it available to purchase or the games on that platform everything on that platform is fair game.

Obviously support current systems and platforms whether it be subscription services that give you access to old stuff if you still like that and don't like messing with emulation, but these 20 plus year old systems in many cases shouldn't have any roadblocks in the way for their content.

This is what happens when you keep canceling projects that could have actually been good for your company and brand.

They can ask all they want to but it aint happening lol.

When you create a shortage on physical copies people will stop going that route. I would prefer all my games to be physical still if they could be but I'm being forced into an all digital world with no protection for the consumer.

@MrCarlos46 They do need to announce it after the retail return window.

@MrCarlos46 Q1 2025 includes June. We would be silly to think that they're not going to unveil before the end of q1, they need a strong q1 for the investors. I do not know a single person who feels that they need to advertise because everybody knows it's coming out.

Jan/Feb they will announce the Switch 2 and it will release in Q1 2025. Pretty obvious at this point that they want to hit those holiday sales before they show the new system.

Game looks wicked!

I mean the clear solution is have a special gun called the "Pal Gun" that transforms Pals into large bullets that you shoot from it. Pretty simple solution and fits with the game more.

They should not directly compete with the Switch and make it a dedicated handheld.

Honestly, US gamers can't complain too much if game hardware is effected. In Canada gaming has become very expensive due to multiple factors. A new AAA title on the east coast is $102 taxes in which is absurd.

I think Nintendo could get away with with creating a peripheral that attaches around the "switch 2" that adds another screen. This would allow them to do DS, 3DS and Wii U.

@DollyrotsFan1 My hope is that if they go down the let's go route they give players the option between that and classic play style. If they had done that in let's go it would have made it more appealing to a lot of people.

@nessisonett There will be more remakes, not much we can do.

It is going to be sweet when they announce the remakes.

As long as you don't plaster your ***** all over YouTube there's nothing they're going to do to individual users. They don't have jurisdiction to do whatever the ***** they want all around the world.

The only people who will ever be in trouble are the ones who put the stuff online in the first place.

Can't wait for the new gold & silver remakes they are clearly working on.

They are probably remaking Gold/Silver.

Boy George is looking young.

Looks awesome! Gonna have to pick this up.

Game Maker Studio 2 is really good too, you should consider it.

None the less it looks really good man!

@batmanbud2 This was a problem even before him.

I still own the OG and 3DS version, nooooo thaaaaanks.

@batmanbud2 Not true, 102CAD after taxes for game is not "cheap", most people do not make as much money as you think they do...

Don't pirate current stuff, not that complicated.

Retroarch is better than anything Nintendo has to offer. They have had many years to make money off those old titles. That being said to play online you have no choice but to have NSO.

It's such a shame that they didn't have Defiance in there.

@Yalloo Nah, I am in the same boat haha, not enough time.

It baffles me why they didn't just have an original arcade graphics option......

If done properly I am down.

My Majora's Mask 3DS begs to differ.

It will release in March.

The way the landscape is changing Publishers are becoming less and less needed which is great for developers because they get more of the money that they deserve.

One of my close friends is building a game and they don't want to use a publisher because they know how much they could lose to them.

Just to put it in perspective when selling a video game you already lose 30% to most storefronts before you even pay your taxes and then some Publishers depending on what services they provide could take up to another 30%, some cases even more before you get your money.

They are not going to announce the switch 2 until the January Nintendo Direct. To kill their holiday sales now would be an insanely poor decision.

You can't patent an art style or a gameplay mechanic without using some type of legal loophole or abusing an old set of laws that were never updated for Modern Times and the digital age.

Anything more than 399 and it aint happening.

@HalBailman Not to mention the OG Switch will get a softmod faster if they have no BC on the next system.

@timp29 They were smart to corner the market the way they did. Merging the console and handheld division and putting them under one roof was the smartest thing they could have ever done.

Sweet, another free Nintendo game!

They may not be able to make it BC because of the security issues of the current Switch.

My wife bought it 3 times. Once on PC, Switch and Android.

@boxyguy I am loving it petsonally.

Mega Man 12 with playable Proto Man, Bass and Roll.

They could use time travel to go back and fight old powered up bosses.

Done Capcom, you are welcome!

@WiltonRoots I mean there's nothing they can do to individuals who are not profiting off of piracy.

In fact it's only a matter of time before somebody makes a ROM site hosted in a country that has new rules for intellectual property that aren't hundreds of years old.

I prefer to play them on MiSTer FPGA or Steam Deck but ya, there were a lot of amazing games from that generation.

All that I know is that I'm going to play every first party switch game that comes out and I don't plan on paying for any of them except maybe Metroid.

Nintendo wants to be an dick Corporation and start a war they can go right ahead but it's not a winning battle for them.
