I don't believe that it did any damage at all. Yeah, sure, the reveal didn't tell us anything that we didn't already know (maybe usb port on top or colors), but it didn't do any real damage.
It was more like "play stupid games, win stupid prizes". They should have revealed this long time ago.
I remember enjoying two towers, the return of the king and third age games on PS2. And I loved battle for middle-earth 2 on PC. Also shadow of mordor was pretty good.
Anything Xenoblade, Metroid or Fire Emblem. Not asking for a lot here. It would also be nice to have some old GB/GBA Pokémon games in NSO, but that might be asking too much.
@WheresWaveRace Yeah, same for me. Sure, Fire Emblem Three Houses helped me get through some very dark period of my life, but I can't play it anymore. I tried, but it will just bring all the memories back.
It was something. Best thing was Battlefront bundle. But because it is multi-platform (I want to play online multiplayers somewhere I can use party chat). And while it is stupid and sad that Atlus can't do DLC, it is good that this game goes multi-platform too.
But for Switch, this was pretty bad, but it was partner showcase. I really hope that we get some nice 1st party games this year, and not just ports and remasters and remakes.
That line up is pretty much twilight years stuff. Let's hope that they reveal something interesting in the next Direct (I don't believe that Metroid Prime 4 is 2024 game).
I voted Chrom because I chose him on my first round. But I have played Awakening about 700 hours. Played it last couple of weeks ago, and then I picked Virion.
@RareFan That's true. And sad, because there is much good in these games, but performance is terrible. Played it couple weeks ago, I expected the worst, and was still disappointed.
@ModdedInkling I completely agree. There are two reasons why I nowadays go all digital with Switch also. First, I'm lazy af. And second, local game store has closed and I can't bother order from online.
But yeah, I like that I don't need to swap cartridges.
Did they ever fix the performance on Switch? I played it when it was on Game Pass, and I liked it. I could buy it for Switch but I remember from review that there was performance issues.
@DAHstroy I really loved characters, story, environments and soundtrack (finished the game yesterday). There were couple difficulty spikes (skill checks, one might say), but overall very, very good game. I have played (and loved) Xenoblade Chronicles 2 as well.

Re: Poll: So, What Did You Think Of The Switch 2 Reveal?
I think that was just something to get out of the way. Now we can wait for April.
Re: Switch 2 Will Be Backwards Compatible With Physical And Digital Games, With Some Exceptions
Let's hope that backwards compatibility also includes pro controller.
My pro controller is still in pretty good shape, versus my series x where I just bought third controller.
Re: Poll: Are There Any Good Lord Of The Rings Games On Nintendo Consoles?
One correction: rings of power is terrible.
I remember enjoying two towers, the return of the king and third age games on PS2. And I loved battle for middle-earth 2 on PC. Also shadow of mordor was pretty good.
Re: Nintendo Music Updated To Version 1.0.1, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
I hope they add Pokémon Black/White soundtrack soon, that one is divine.
Re: Pokémon TCG Pocket Now Has "Over 30 Million Downloads Worldwide"
I really have been enjoying this one. Much more than I anticipated.
Re: Nintendo Direct June 2024: Time, Where To Watch, What To Expect
Anything Xenoblade.
Anything Fire Emblem.
Anything Metroid.
1st, 2nd and 3rd generation Pokémon games on NSO.
Nier Replicant.
I'm not asking much, even one of these will do.
Re: Talking Point: What We Expect From The Upcoming June Nintendo Direct
Anything Xenoblade, Metroid or Fire Emblem. Not asking for a lot here. It would also be nice to have some old GB/GBA Pokémon games in NSO, but that might be asking too much.
Re: Nintendo's eShop Summer Sale Knocks Up To 75% Off Select Switch Titles (Europe)
@Munchlax
Well, I was thinking of The House of Fata Morgana. This recommendation is enough for me to grab it. I don't want to owe myself anything.
Re: Nintendo Switch System Update 18.1.0 Is Now Live, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
First comment was a stability joke. All is well and balanced as all things should be.
Re: Soapbox: During A Mental Health Crisis, It Wasn't Cosy Games That Helped
@WheresWaveRace
Yeah, same for me. Sure, Fire Emblem Three Houses helped me get through some very dark period of my life, but I can't play it anymore. I tried, but it will just bring all the memories back.
Re: As Switch Approaches The PS2's Lifetime Sales, Sony Moves The Goalposts
Not the mention that they are still selling switches at pretty high cost. I remember that you could buy PS2 about €100 at the end.
Re: Review: Princess Peach: Showtime! (Switch) - Peach Breaks A Leg In A High-Class Production
The fact that 1st party games have frame rate and resolution issues proves how much we need new hardware.
Re: Random: New Pokémon Ad Positions 3DS As 'Retro', And The Internet Disagrees
No way, previous generation is no retro. It is as much retro as PS4 and Xbox One.
Re: Poll: So, How Would You Rate The Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase?
It was something. Best thing was Battlefront bundle. But because it is multi-platform (I want to play online multiplayers somewhere I can use party chat). And while it is stupid and sad that Atlus can't do DLC, it is good that this game goes multi-platform too.

Re: Talking Point: Pokémon Presents Predictions - What Are You Expecting?
I think that they reveal some "bigger" (no mobile game) game, black/white remake/remaster, legends game or gen 10.
But I'd like to see black/white 2dhd remake.
Re: Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase February 2024 - Time, Where To Watch, What To Expect
I'm pretty disappointed, not gonna lie. I don't think they have ever revealed anything interesting in these? Correct me if I'm wrong.
Re: Talking Point: If 'Switch 2' Isn't Coming Until 2025, What's Nintendo Got Up Its Sleeve This Year?
Just give me Xenoblade Chronicles X and I'm happy.
Re: Rumour: Switch Successor Might Not Be Launching Until 2025
Would be terrible. But, I guess we'll see soon enough.
Re: Japanese Charts: Super Mario Bros. Wonder Jumps To The Top Spot, Once Again
Hard to believe that Switch still tops console charts. The thing is almost 7 years old, smh.
Re: Nintendo Reconfirms Release Windows For Major Upcoming Switch Games
That line up is pretty much twilight years stuff. Let's hope that they reveal something interesting in the next Direct (I don't believe that Metroid Prime 4 is 2024 game).
Re: Fate/Stay Night Gets English Release For First Time In 2024
I'm so happy about this! I played the original about 10 years ago. Switch is perfect platform for visual novels.
Re: Talking Point: Do You Want To See Colourful Cartridges Return For 'Switch 2'?
Don't really care. Digital all the way.
Re: Poll: How Much Internal Storage Would Be Reasonable For 'Switch 2'?
My 200gb sd card is full the time (need to constantly delete and re-install games) so.. more?
Re: Rumour: Rare & Microsoft's Sea Of Thieves Could Be Sailing Onto Switch
Well, Sea of Thieves is very good game, if (and only if) you got friends to play it with.
Re: Poll: Rate Your Favourite Switch Games Of The Year 2023
My top3 is
1) Metroid Prime Remastered
2) Fire Emblem Engage
3) Persona 4 Golden
Unfortunately I haven't played TotK yet.
Re: Pokémon's COO Wants To Keep Franchise Going For "Hundreds Of Years"
Instead of thinking about pokémon, he should be playing it. Then he would see what's wrong with it.
Re: Talking Point: Would You Buy A Digital-Only 'Switch 2'?
I would, sure. It is the backwards compatibility that is a dealbreaker for me.
Re: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Is Japan's 7th Biggest Game Launch Of All Time
Glad to see I'm not only one confused by ScarVi.
Re: Nintendo Switch Successor Chip Rumours Are Doing The Rounds Again
@skywake
But I can see the whole console being digital only. Oh my, reactions to that will be glorious.
Re: Japanese Charts: Tales Of Symphonia Remastered Makes A Solid Debut
Switch has been on top almost 6 years and sold over 24'000'000 units. Tbh, we need new hardware this year, but I don't think we get that.
Re: Talking Point: What Will Be Announced On Pokémon Day 2023?
@sanderev
Yeah, GF developed the games, but isn't Nintendo their publisher? Isn't it then Nintendos decision whether those games is added to NSO?
Re: Talking Point: What Is The Best Special Edition Switch Console?
I really like that sword/shield lite, almost bought it back in the day. Also smbb and Diablo III are very nice ones.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (February 18th)
Just finished Metroid Prime Remastered. Planning to play some Bayonetta and Breath of the Wild.

Re: PSA: A New Limited-Time Pokémon Scarlet & Violet Tera Raid Battle Is Now Live
@RareFan
That's true. And sad, because there is much good in these games, but performance is terrible. Played it couple weeks ago, I expected the worst, and was still disappointed.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (February 11th)
Going to play Metroid Prime Remastered and maybe some Halo Infinite and Monster Hunter Rise.
Re: Nintendo Updates Its 'Switch Online + Expansion Pack' Trailer With New Footage
They should add Pokémon games when they add Pokémon Stadium, and we should be able to transfer our 'mons from Red/Blue into Stadium.
Re: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Temporarily Listed On Nintendo Website For $70 USD
Digital BotW is 69.90€, so it is 10€ more than Nintendos other 1st party games.
Re: Upcoming Limited-Time Pokémon Scarlet & Violet Tera Raid Battle Event Detailed
They should focus on fixing the performance of the game.
Re: Japanese Charts: All Switch Models Outsold By PS5, Story Of Seasons Remake Is On Top
Yeah it has to happen eventually. Switch is almost 6 years old, after all.
Re: Review: NieR:Automata The End of YoRHa Edition - A Modern Classic Shines On Switch
@OnlyItsMeReid
It's not on Game Pass anymore. Sadly.
Re: Review: Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga - A Triumphant Return To A Galaxy Far, Far Away
If prequel trilogy is a con, what about that terrible sequel trilogy?
Re: EA Play Live Is Reportedly Skipping 2022
@Magician
There was rumor that MS holds its own thing in summer, maybe EA will be there?
Re: Nintendo Physical Game Sales Made Up 47% Of All UK Retail Game Sales In 2021
@ModdedInkling
I completely agree. There are two reasons why I nowadays go all digital with Switch also. First, I'm lazy af. And second, local game store has closed and I can't bother order from online.
But yeah, I like that I don't need to swap cartridges.
Re: Nintendo Physical Game Sales Made Up 47% Of All UK Retail Game Sales In 2021
I'll buy mostly digital on Switch nowadays, and completely digital on Xbox.
Re: Free Couples Update For 'Haven' Adds Same Gender Options
Did they ever fix the performance on Switch? I played it when it was on Game Pass, and I liked it. I could buy it for Switch but I remember from review that there was performance issues.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (February 26th)
@DAHstroy
I really loved characters, story, environments and soundtrack (finished the game yesterday). There were couple difficulty spikes (skill checks, one might say), but overall very, very good game. I have played (and loved) Xenoblade Chronicles 2 as well.
Re: Where To Pre-Order Triangle Strategy On Switch
I'm not gonna pre-order but I will buy it if it turn out to be good.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (February 26th)
I'll try to finish Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition. And probably will play couple of hours Halo Infinite.
