@Ooccoo_Jr I'm doing like a 32 bit metroidvania hopefully people like it. In my game you play as a Knight and a Demon and you switch between. I don't want to give too much away until I'm ready to show it.

This looks awesome. Day 1 for me.

@Corvus96 First off Nintendo lied about every generation and their lifespan and has been doing so since the NES.

Secondly if it is backwards compatible it is a non-issue for that vast majority of people as they will stick with the older model until they have to upgrade.

It is pretty obvious it's releasing alongside of the Zelda sequel.

Contra 4 was the best hands down.

@steventonysmith Fair enough. I for one am selling most of my old gaming stuff because I have a MiSTer FPGA now. Most of my CIB GBA games have been going for 150CAD on average, some closer to 400CAD.

I like that once emulation is viable past a systems lifespan I can move to other solutions such as hacking and roms and I can fuel other endeavors with my past collections.

If the Switch 2 comes out and is fully BC and your purchases move forward that would give me more faith in all digital, but it is unacceptable to me if they try to pull a Wii U again and abandon all their previous software and purchases.

@Olmectron That could still hold true, we could be witnessing it manifesting physically in Hyrule, like they are crashing into one another.

@steventonysmith You're a man living on the edge.

@steventonysmith Hopefully this one they do, I am only buying physical now so I can re-sell games since we don't know for sure to hedge my bets.

@steventonysmith Nintendo themselves already confirmed early on in the Switch's life that if a successor came out during the lifespan there would be cross generational games and all 1st party games would be cross gen.

@steventonysmith If all the games that are coming out play on both why would it matter?

Based on the furthest out release date. There is still a good chance the next gen Switch comes out after the New Year closer to May.

This game is in the Link to the Past timeline. We are witnessing the birth of lorule.

@johnvboy It is still a big possibility in 2023. We will have to wait, and beyond pokemon and zelda I do not want to invest more on the Switch until I know Switch 2 is backwards compatible.

@johnvboy I still think this generation is only going to be 6 years, while Nintendo is never the top of the hardware battle it still needs to be able to play modern games. Less and leas games will come out for it as we move away from PS4 and Xbox One.

May seems like a good time to release a new console especially if it is 100% backwards compatible then no one will bat an eye.

Also it releasing in May does bring us to the 6 year age mark for the Switch, I would not be surprised if a next gen Switch releases either before or alongside it. Of course being Nintendo they will milk the holiday season for their current hardware.

Well I am now almost positive this is the the same timeline of A Link to the Past and we are witnessing the separation of Hyrule from Lorule.

@Darknilious Hopefully they take a note from Sony and Microsoft and let your stuff carry forward next generation. If not it just gives me another reason to hack the next system too.

Nintendo needs to get it together because RDNA 3 is about to come out at 4nm and it is going to put the Switch to shame.

I'm telling people now the announcement of the next Gen. Nintendo system is coming they've been working on something with nvidia for like 4 years and it wasn't any of the current models on the market.

The 1st and 2nd games were a huge success, I am making a note here that the 3rd game will also be a huge success.

The only place they need to go is space, Imagine portals in space.

I love that nobody's complaining that there isn't split screen. It's such a huge miss of an opportunity to not be able to play salmon run with a friend locally or team up to go online like in Mario Kart 8D.

Oh wait I forgot nintendo is greedy and doesn't like people having fun with one copy of a game.

When you say there's a new pokemon type available that assumes a new element.

Good old clickbait lol.

If only it was a "ROCK LOBSTER" lol.

Good now I can finally get an emulated copy of each and get them in my game.

@HandheldHaunter It is just nintendo's way of guaranteeing people have to buy another copy of the game to play multiplayer with people. In my opinion games where companies force you to buy multiple copies juat to play multiplayer you should get it cheaper if you're buying multiple at the same time. I would have no problem getting 2 copies for like a $100.

The fact that it doesn't have local multiplayer just like the 2nd game makes it a pass for me.

@MrBelmont Yes, if they cared about their art and the communities it creates they would have especially 20+ years it is of no use to them. How we deal with digital rights is a joke and needs to be revisited.

@MrBelmont Because if you pay for a piece of software you're entitled to the full breadth of content regardless of it requires a server or not aside from reasonable DLC. People will figure it out anyway.Just like you can play the original fantasy star online on dreamcast people will find a way to hack the servers, it is just that we shouldn't have to.

@EarthboundBenjy There's challenges and different things that cycle so you will be missing out on content 100%.

When companies do stuff like this they by law should be required to make the server tech available to anybody who wants to run it.

Corporations and companies have more rights than individual humans which is unacceptable in my opinion.

@Gitface There have been/are legitimate portable ways to play.

No we most certainly will not. I will download them on my hacked Switch system yes, but I already own all these games.

Since I own the originals and the remakes of those games I'll just download them for free on my hacked Switch. Considering we know there's not going to be any types of enhancements.

Who in the right mind would want to buy a game that runs at 12 fps? I would not trust this company to release a working game on the switch.

@CasNicks I don't have a pro controller I just hit the power on the switch and drop it back in the dock that's as good as it gets And since it's an anynet device it just goes to the channel automatically anyway.

I hacked my Wii U like a man! Don't be a wimp and hack your Wii U!

@NotSoCryptic They are building a very expensive facility to produce secondary chips aside from the intel chips they already produce, it may already be completed.

I am excited for this one but quality takes time so delays are worth it.

The game I'm working on is all pixel art done by me and it's also a metroidvania but it's Co-Op through 99.9% of the game.

@Baler 1 hacked, one stock for online play, and one lite lol.

@NotSoCryptic Microsoft also manufactures many of their own chips which garauntees cheaper costs.

Sony is showing its greed glands. Luckily I don't want a PS5 anyhow.

In the game I am making both main characters wear armor and never take it off on-screen so you will not know what gender they are intentionally. It will be up to the player to decide.

@steventonysmith Piracy on Switch isn't as bad as you might think lmao. Do some research.

Piracy tiiiiiiime.

@GrailUK I think it might be multiple things not just one thing. It's been known for some time that they're making some hardware that hasn't been announced that's still in development. It is most assuredly a next Gen. Switch.

@GrailUK I think it's more likely that breath of the wild 2 was delayed a second time because the new hardware is being developed and they're going to make it work with both.

It will be nice to have the new armor. Luckily I can make fake amiibo so I don't have to pay for this bullshi. FOMO is a terrible thing.

@pipes He said something like he would still love to appear as the fat more demented version of Robotnik to finish the transformation and growth of the character. That was before the Will Smith slap, hopefully he feels like he has to finish it.

Super metroid for me, I had played the NES game but I could never understand it because I was too young at the time.

I think it's funny that I started selling my complete in box battle network games and this is coming out hahaha.

Though I can't go wrong I made like $700 off of 4 games.
