For that price, it better be at least as powerful as a PS4 Pro or XB1X.

$400, for something that will likely be a marginal improvement at best?

No thanks

I'll wait fr the Switch 2 or whatever it's true successor will be named.

@CactusMan

Yeah, considering Nintendo has held on this long, I expect to see pigs fly before it changes. Haha

Oh well, I'll just continue spending the first 30 minutes or so of gaming screwing up all my menus when going from the Switch to other consoles and back again.

Quite frankly, I dont care any.ore I intended invented the layout. Every other controller out there using the modern standard and Nintendo just sticks with their own.

I just want a universal layout for everything, and throughout all my years playing games, I dont want Nintendo's layout as the standard.

@MS7000

I've been asking for a Switch Pro since March of 2017, the launch of the Switch.

So...technically speaking, they started much sooner. 😁

I still wish Nintendo would keep up with the competition while also doing their own innovation thing. A man can dream.

@nhSnork

It never gets old, of course I love the song, so that helps.

Stupid YouTube ads ruin links now. 😑

I knew this from the start, Microsoft wouldn't spend all that money to not take advantage of it.

I hate this though. Even if I usually get all 3 consoles...eventually.

My guess is that "some" of the Bethesda titles means the most popular. By that I fully expect the Elder Scrolls, Fallout, and Doom franchises to become Xbox/PC exclusives.

All I care about is not making Arkane's games exclusively for Microsoft. Arkane is one of my favorite developers, I want everyone to enjoy their games.

Step 1: Bring back Skies of Arcadia, or as mentioned above, at least port it to Switch. Preferably the Legends version.

Step 2: Bring back Ecco the Dolphin. In fact, hire Tripwire Interactive, the developers of the incredibly fun Maneater to develop a new 3D Ecco.

Step 3: See steps 1 & 2

Step 4: Make me happy by following steps 1-3

Wow, look at those incredible deals! /s 🙄

Links Awakening was not only my first real stab at playing a Zelda game, it was my first step towards gaming.

I had friends with the NES, and I had played Mario Bros. and bits of the original Zelda, but I wasn't really into gaming. I spent all my time outdoors as a kid.

Fast forward to a few years after the Gameboy was released, and I was gifted one with a copy of Links Awakening. I loved it!

I still didn't get into gaming in any real way until the N64 and OoT.

Looks like an auto runner mobile game as well, just converted to Switch. Not that there haven't been some good ones.

That's niiiiice!

Time to break out the bell bottoms, low cut collar shirt, and gold chains. Groovy! 😁

@Xylnox

I read rumors somewhere not long ago, that Kotor may be getting a remaster or remake. Don't quote me on that, but I know my brother would be ecstatic if it's true.

@TheFrenchiestFry

If I recall correctly, Respawn doesn't use Frostbite. Fallen Order was either Unreal Engine (most likely) or the Source Engine like Respawn used on both TitanFall games and currently uses on Apex Legends.

I dont know why it has seemed Bioware was forced to use Frostbite while Respawn wasn't. Or so behind the scenes reports claim.

Perhaps Anthem and ME Andromeda wouldn't have had such problematic development if Bioware was able to use something other than Frostbite, which according to many articles I've read, is a major pain in the A** to develop on.

I'm not much of a Star Wars fan, but Republic Commando was a really fun game. Not enough to buy it again, I still have my original copy, but I wouldn't be opposed to a sequel.

Ok, so don't apply any future updates to the game if I want to keep this cheese, got it.

@San_D

Yeah, time limits are still my #1 despised thing in video games. Actually, in everyday life as well. However, losing everything collected/progress and having to start over from the start again is an easy second. They're design choices I wish stayed in the past or downright just disappear.

I was pretty underwhelmed, but I did get a new Mario Golf I've been asking so long for, and its out real soon!

I really love this trend of announcing a game, and having it release shortly after.

Eh, I guess I'll rent it since it has a no motion control option but it still doesn't look very appealing to me. I hope we still get a Wind Waker/TP port or bundle ported to Switch.

The special edition Joy-Cons look nice, but since they'll surely have the same stick drift problems, no thanks.

Awesome!!! I just hope we get wacky courses, because this looks like a PGA golf course with Mario characters on it. Which, don't get me wrong, I like that as sometimes I don't want the wacky courses. I just hope we get a nice mixture of both.

Medieval doesn't fit Zelda IMO, so I have no clue. If it is a remake, Manish Cap...please!

If it's something new, cool, if by chance they just make a new top down, that would also be Zelda would be great.

This is far more entertaining than the original cartoon. 🤣

I remember working in Blockbuster when this came out.

@Burning_Spear

Not 9nly are they always on sale, they're always on sale for the exact same price. Not that I usually get excited for a so called sale on a Nintendo platform anyway, 3rd part games or not.

@Wargoose

Yeah, I definitely see your side as well. That's how I used to be. It's just so many games get announced now, and it's 3 or more years before they get released.

It's partly my fault. I read a lot of gaming news blogs and websites, and sometimes I read so much about a game I'm excited for that by the time it comes out, I'm no longer interested because it took too long.

@Wargoose

A marketing strategy I'm a fan of...as long as the companies don't announce a logo reveal years before release. 🙄

I'd honestly prefer developers and publishers to not reveal games anymore unless they're guaranteed to release in the same year.

It'll never happen, but I'd love a remaster of both of Raven Software's excellent shooters.

Wolfenstein (2009)
I much preferred the occult Nazi's to Machine Game's tech Nazi's. It's still my personal favorite Wolfenstein game, and sadly, you can't buy it on any platform digitally.

Singularity
Another excellent shooter from Raven, and one with some nice Bioshock vibes to it.

As others have already mentioned...Blur.

Seriously, Blur is the love child of Mario Kart and Burnout, how it didn't become a massive success is beyond me.

@baller98

Please, if there is a God, make this happen!

Sploooooooosh!

@Palaws

Splinter Cell Blacklist was already on Wii U. I just don't think Ubisoft cares, or knows what to do with Splinter Cell right now. They're probably trying to figure out how to turn it into an open world game or an ever evolving online experience. Both of which I do not want, I'd rather they let the franchise stay in limbo before seeing either of those.

I'd love to see all the Tomb Raider games devoted by Crystal Dynamics ported to Switch. While I love the latest reboot, I'd love CD's first reboot (Legend/Underworld/Anniversary) on Switch even more.

I'd also love to see Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light along with Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris on Switch as well. I'm fact, I desperately want another isometric Tomb Raider, they were amazing!

Mario 3D World, Captain Toad, Wind Waker, and Twilight Princess were always my most wanted Wii U to Switch ports. So your halfway there Nintendo.

I'd still take Splinter Cell Blacklist though. How about it Ubisoft? It's not like your doing anything worthwhile with the franchise anymore anyway. 😑

@Tasuki

My brother has been replaying it so I popped my PS4 copy into my PS5. Visually, it didn't age very well. I honestly think it would look better on Switch in handheld mode where visual faults will be harder to notice on a smaller screen.

I just wish they announced it was being worked on back when the other versions released. It hasn't been that long, perhaps the publisher was hoping this would help persuade people to double dip? 🤷‍♂️

Unless something like GamePass or PSNow came to Switch, no way. Even then it's a hard sell since it's all streaming, and the Switch doesn't exactly have the best Wi-fi tech in it as evident by browsing the eshop and downloading games even on my excellent connection. Of course, thats also likely due to Nintendo's generally poor online functionality as a whole.

Cool for those into it, but I'm not an MMO guy or F2P guy myself. I think intrird this years ago on PS4, wasn't bad gameplay, but the rest isn't for me.

@Slowdive

Your welcome, its a fun game, but just not one I would label 'Must Play'.

@aresius

Combat was definitely fun, I just forgot so much about this game as it's been a long time. Sadly, it was just added to my massive backlog of 'maybe I'll get back to them one day' list of games. Ha

@Slowdive

It's been a long time, I never finished it due to moving on to the PS4/XB1 generation.

I'm pretty sure it had tons of them. I recall having a very large quest log, possibly even sub-quests.

It was the design of the world that kinda intrigued me, but the combat that kept me. I always thought if Fable had combat closer to Amalur, it would make Fable even better. I can see it being closer to a WoW look, but I never played WoW or MMO's, so I associated it with Fable.

By today's standards, the combat likely isn't as great, but it has one of my favorite weapons in video game memory. Chakrams, like Xena. Except you use two at once and they're really flashy and fun.

As for the story, I guess I'd give it another go. I'm big on fantasy reading and all, but Amalur was hard to follow. Names were pretty odd, even by fantasy standards, and I just couldn't keep up with everything. It was like throwing the history of Amalur at you all at once, but it would have taken reading numerous novels or games to take in the lore and retain it. It was as if the game assumed you had played or read a bunch of stuff concerning Amalur before. Considering this was initially just a way to fund an MMO in the same fantasy world, I can see why they put so much into the lore.

Edit:

It's a fun game, and I may have glanced over it but I didn't see a price. It's an older game, not that it makes it bad, but if it's priced over $30 (I'm US), then that's already pushing it in my opinion. I'd say it's worth $20, but I'm guessing they'll charge $40.

@Slowdive

It only caught my attention because I wanted a new Fable at the time. Gameplay is fun, but the story bored me to death. Far too much dialog for the NPC'S. Eventually I just started spamming the skip text button just to get quests and updates to them. I dont think I've ever done that in a game before, or since.

So NOW they announce it. 🙄

I wanted this on Switch from the start, but they never announced it was coming so I bought it on PS4 during a sale. I never got far back ok the 360, and always wanted to go back to it. This is a perfect fit for Switch, and since the remaster barely changed much, it should perform fine.

Oh well, I'm not buying it again. I really wish companies wouldn't hide the Switch ports. If it's coming later, just say so.

@RGB87

Same here, Nintendo's surprises usually aren't for me, so maybe this will be different.

Spoiler

Probably not 😆

It'd be cool to play the game as Bowser.

This just makes me want a Magic Orbz port or sequel from the PS3. It was a great Breakout style game.

Visually, it's a perfect fit for a Nintendo system as well. It was colorful, good looking, and had really cool level designs.

Valiant Hearts is a great game, hit me right in the feels too!

I went with Immortals Phoenix Rising on PlayStation. I did try it on Switch, but visually it was quite a bit more downgraded than I had expected. Especially considering how nice BotW looks.

All I care about is a Dragon's Dogma sequel. PLEASE...just don't make it a live service game!

Game awards are tonight? Good, that means I'll have some winner lists to read and announcement trailers to watch late tonight or tomorrow.

Looks good from the very short trailer. That said, can we keep to the more recent trend of announcing games closer to an actual release?

In an ideal world, games would be announced, and relased within the same year.

Thats a nice attention to detail!

However, I dont remember squirrels being in the game. I guess I just ignored them since you can't use them as an ingredient in any of Link's meals.

Saw it this morning and instantly picked it up.

@Waa-Laa

I was bummed when 3D Allstars released and saw we had to wait until February for 3D World.

I've wanted 3D World on Switch since the console launched. I never finished it, and I just don't feeling bringing my Wii U out to play it.
