@slowpoke_tail I agree with you for most, but I don't see them adding Melee to NSO (In the same way they haven't added Smash 64).

I'm just so curious of what a Gamecube NSO would even look like since it feels like some of the most important games are already on Switch. Metroid Prime, Paper Mario TTYD, Mario Sunshine (via 3d All Stars), for example. Even games that aren't on Switch yet have HD ports I'd rather see (Looking at the Zelda games). It's not to say they can't do it or that there aren't enough games, but I'm really curious on how it will be handled.

Even if joining online required everyone to sign an NDA. That's 100,000 people you'd have to enforce it on. I don't see this staying quiet for long at all.

@Thirteen1355 Missed out in the sense I didn't play it when it came out. You can always go back to older games but you can't necessarily forget all the advancements gaming have made since then.

As someone who missed out on Skies of Arcadia this is really disappointing. I was hoping for something new to play on Switch this weekend.

A radial menu worked for all the crap I collected in Baldur's Gate 3. I'm sure it could work here.

If not, categories would be nice. Furniture, enemies, natural objects. You could even have custom tags that players could group by.

Ugh too many games to go back and replay this one but it sounds awesome!

I'll most likely be getting on PC, but it's good to know it's coming to Switch too.

TBH, I'm a bit baffled this didn't come to PC. I grew up playing worms with a mouse and keyboard, I'm not sure how it would handle with a controller.

Evidently Nintendo hasn't heard of the Streisand Effect. I bet there's an upsurge of sales for Palworld.

I'd be skeptical of a Switch 2 reveal now. Only because by announcing that a Switch 2 is officially on the way will cut into sales of Switches for Christmas. I'm not saying it's not going to happen, but I'd be surprised. That said, I could see a direct mini just to hype up the games coming out for the holidays.

There's an indie game in the works for PC and Switch called Poglings. It's still getting monthly updates on Kickstarter so hopefully we'll see news of a release soon.

But also, you're telling me that the mobile-happy Sega team doesn't think a mobile chao garden app would work?

I certainly appreciate his commitment, but given what I've read about the development of this game and the life he had to live before it came out, I wouldn't mind having to shell out a few more bucks for some quality updates. I want devs to get paid for their work, I just don't want publishers to exploit fans by breaking up a completed game to sell to us in parts.

I feel like adventure games could really become the home for comedy type games. Some of the funniest games I've ever played were adventure games, like the Monkey Island series, and Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People. I think it's just a market studios haven't dug into enough yet.

@KevinLo9 I can’t believe they didn’t have this as an option in the article!

I LOVE this game. I really with Nintendo would revisit it. I know the original Mario vs. Donkey Kong was similar but it didn't quite scratch the itch. Then that series became more of a Lemmings-esque game. I really think this game could be amazing with nothing but a new coat of paint. It holds up that well!

I would love 3D, but I think the problem is when they envision it in 3D is that it will be in their ideal art style. Some people expect it will look like DQ11. But it could just as easily look like the Secret of Mana remake. I think HD-2D is the safer option as it keeps the design of the characters while updating it to a modern aesthetic.

Clock town would be awesome. And maybe I'm basic, but I just want Hyrule Castle.

You didn't do the battle courses. Now you have to start over...

I like the DQ games well enough but I feel like a lot of the later ones overstay their welcome. DQXI was one that I was super excited about but it just kept going. And then the entire third act kind of detracted from everything I did in the first two acts. From what I understand the first 3 are much shorter so I look forward to checking them out.

I don't understand why they have this restriction to begin with. Are they so concerned about the brand that characters have to become stereotypes without any individuality?

It's cool, and I'm sure they were trying to differentiate it from Mario, but I would have preferred to do Hyrule Castle.

I feel like the reviews that are less than 10s are all people who already played the original and just wanted more. I get it, I felt the same way with Super Mario RPG, but as someone who didn't get very far in TTYD then lost his Gamecube, I love this game, and I think it's one of Nintendo's finest.

Port: Same Game on a new system with no changes.
Enhanced Port: Same game on new system with minor changes such as extra level or character.
Remaster: Same source code but with new assets, such as HD models or updated soundtrack fidelity. Can also include extra features seen in enhanced port.
Remake: Game remade from the ground up where none of the original assets remain.
Reboot: Completely original idea using the same characters and concepts, but with a new take that is not the same as the original.

I want a company to take another crack at the DK64 formula. There's so much potential with that game if they address the biggest problems.

I feel like this game didn't need to add too much (Not that I would have complained.) Mario RPG has been accessible on the last few Nintendo systems (Wii, Wii U, SNES Classic), so in some ways it's had a chance to be fresh in the eyes of the audience, necessitating something to re-invigorate it. There hasn't been a legal way to play TTYD since the Gamecube. Not saying it wouldn't have benefited from extra content, but it didn't need it. I'm not one for boss rushes anyway.

If it has the comedy and charm of a Ron Gilbert game with the gameplay and world of a 2D Zelda, consider me sold.

This rumor happens EVERY time a new Zelda game is in the pipeline.

Here's hoping for FFXIV on the Switch 2. I love playing on PC but it would be nice too have portability for when I want to pop online for some quick daily check-ins.

It's probably gonna be mostly ports and remasters. Metroid Prime 2 and 3, Zelda WW and TP, Mario Galaxy 2 could all be likely. Maybe Xenoblades X.

My dream would be the Zelda Oracle games in the style of Link's Awakening HD.

I'm intrigued, but I hope it works. Just imagine playing in a car or on the bus and you hit a bump and it just launches the switch. Also you could make regular joy cons compatible by selling magnet adapters.

Look, I'm still going to play it, but in regards to the 30 FPS cap...why?

@Aurumonado There's even more to it. It's not that Nintendo wouldn't allow them to use Samus and Link (they were only going to be available on the Wii version). However, the demo that the devs brought to Nintendo was on PS2 hardware. Nintendo threw a fit over that fact.

Here's hoping it's good since my wife is a huge LotR fan, but it really needs to do something to set itself apart from all the other cozy life sims on the switch.

I also hope the Switch's successor can get FFXIV. I love playing it on my PC, but being able to play it wherever would be worth the cost (though not the cost of a Steam Deck).

I really hope they reach out to Monolith Soft to help with building a better open world. I loved Legends Arceus, they just need to iron out the issues.

Metroid Prime 4 fans: Those are rookie numbers.

10 years? I'm old, Gandalf.

Okay, i’m excited but why so damn early? At first I thought it made sense if the concert was happening in Japan, but it’s pre-recorded. Why not release it at a time that more people can experience it together?

I miss the score bonuses that were in up to Brawl. You could get bonuses for things but it would also let you know things about your playstyle (Bird of Prey meant you only attacked in the air, for example). It was a fun thing to look at after a match.

Good, there were WAY too many games last year from Square Enix. And most of them RPGs. They cannibalized their own sales by targeting the same demographics over and over again.

Something I think a lot of people forget about Golden Sun is that in terms of RPGs, it was a huge step into the RPG genre for kids of a certain age raised on Nintendo. You’d been through two generations of Pokemon on game boy and were probably growing out of it. The N64 didn’t have much in the way of RPGs (at least nothing noteworthy). Golden Sun dropped at the right time for those kids looking for something to take them deeper down the RPG rabbit hole.

Finally my profile pic pays off.

"Happy Anniversary! Here's some screenshots of some Mother 3 artwork and info about the characters. But you don't get to play it."

I’d really love for an HD port of the Wii version of punchout. I dug it up the other day and it was pretty damn fun.

I kind of forgot I submitted this. Thanks for the feature! Merry Christmas!

Sephiroth’s was so out of left field. I had no idea who it was for until the music started playing. But then the hype train was going full steam ahead.

Nintendo loves their star power (no pun intended), but I really think Link, if not Zelda as well, should be played by an unknown actor. I do like Mark Strong as Ganondorf.

Maybe we'll have a repeat of the SNES CD-Rom add on debacle. Nintendo will announce they're partnering with Sony, then will suddenly pivot to a different company, then Sony will go and make their own movie anyway.
