Really hoping the free games at least including Game Boy Advance titles like Fire Emblem and Metroid: Zero Mission. Also the Castlevania games of that era.
There's no Switch or PC even mentioned, but it's foolish to think Activsion won't move on both those fronts. I'll obviously be willing to wait another year though, it's just good to have Spyro back. Gaming icons are finally coming home to the forefront.
Star Fox: Assault was what truly immersed me into the world of Nintendo. 7 years later I have every game in the series besides Zero and Command. The Switch reeeally needs a true successor to the 64/Adventures/Assault timeline.
Axiom Verge is 30% off in the American shop so I'm getting that. Demo of Violet is needed, been considering it for its sale price of $5 but can't decide without playing it.
This is the first time in a while I've wanted more choices for a poll, the indie selection this year is already so good! Hollow Knight, King of Cards DLC, Fe, Bloodstained, and I'm curious about Terria..
I have to say it's wonderful seeing Metroid Prime 4 have the majority here. Sometimes I just can't figure if us Metroid fanatics are a majority or a (very) loud minority.
Tropical Freeze, Dark Souls... both with release dates. Good enough for me. Not an 'amazing' direct but honestly people were hyping this thing up WAY too much. I'm happy.
I can buy all of that besides Prime 4. If they were that close to having a trailer ready, we likely would have seen something, ANYTHING of the game itself at E3 last year. No, I think we get our first real Prime 4 trailer this E3. Mario Maker 2 is definitely a huge possibility as well.
I assume it will be $8 like Mario Bros, so I'll wait until I actually have a chance to play with my long-distance family before I get it. That said, it's almost a must buy for me.
To those wanting new games instead of ports, those are almost always great news but you have to remember one of the things that made the Switch so appealing was having a massive backcatalog of games from every era right at your fingertips. This is part of that, and it's shaping up very, very good.

NintenWHOA
Re: Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon
A review incoming I hope. So far I'm really enjoying it, though getting my rear kicked. (Just the way a Castlevania should play.)
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend?
Bloodstained, Altered Beast. And beat Rayman Legends yesterday. Such a masterpiece.
Re: Review: Plague Road (Switch eShop)
@Jsalan Saw yesterday, great deal. Bought it for later.
Re: Review: Fox n Forests (Switch eShop)
I still want it but I need a good sale.
Re: Video: Can This Star Fox: Grand Prix Rumour Become a Reality?
I'd be in favor of this as long as it didn't try to be another plot-less Star Fox 64 clone. CONTINUE the story of 64/Adventures/Assault Nintendo.
Re: Rumour: Super Mario Odyssey Is Getting Some Snazzy New Snapshot Filters
@Francema I'd recommend it to ANY fan of 3D adventure/platformers. That's probably my favorite genre of gaming and loved this game immensely.
Re: Inti Creates Announces New Bloodstained And Gunvolt Titles For Switch At BitSummit
Curse of the Moon is day one!
Re: Details Regarding Nintendo Switch Online Services Will Be Shared In May
Really hoping the free games at least including Game Boy Advance titles like Fire Emblem and Metroid: Zero Mission. Also the Castlevania games of that era.
Re: AtGames Confirms It's Making The Mega Drive Mini, Then Deletes Tweet
AtGames makes pretty good Atari Flashback systems but their Genesis emulations.... nooo thanks.
Re: Sega Announces AGES For Nintendo Switch, Mega Drive Mini Console
Ecco the Dolphin plz
Re: Spyro: Reignited Trilogy Is Finally Officially, But Switch Is Left Out In The Cold
There's no Switch or PC even mentioned, but it's foolish to think Activsion won't move on both those fronts. I'll obviously be willing to wait another year though, it's just good to have Spyro back. Gaming icons are finally coming home to the forefront.
Re: Review: Tesla Vs Lovecraft (Switch eShop)
I'm just curious why 10tons seems to only create top-down shooters. These always seem to use the same, somewhat basic engine and visuals.
This one has an interesting concept however. I'd be more interested in their titles if heavily discounted sometime.
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend
The Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning.
Re: These Officially-Licensed Switch Controllers Look Absolutely Stunning
RIP Luigi. Again.
Re: Sonic Mania Plus Arrives On Switch This Summer
That reversible cover! <3
Re: Mysterious 'Project R' Sonic Racer Teased By Sega
Yusss, looks like it could be the game Sonic Drift was always meant to be.
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend
The Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning. Getting hyped for you know what.
Re: Nindies Showcase For Nintendo Switch Airing Next Week
SOMETHING regarding Hollow Knight is a must.
Re: The Bunker Will Bring Live Action Psychological Horror To Switch Next Month
Wales Interactive may be a bit of a punching bag around here but their FMV games are almost always left with positive reception. May check this out.
Re: Feature: Retro-Inspired FPS Hellscreen Aims For Nintendo Switch
This looks amazing,
Re: Feature: Nintendo Life's Top Ten eShop Games From Switch's First Year
Where dat Axiom Verge
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend?
Probably gonna beat Sly 3.
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend?
Castlevania and Castlevania: Rondo of Blood off the Wii Shop.
Re: Anniversary: It's Been 25 Years Since Star Fox Barrel Rolled Onto Super Nintendo
Star Fox: Assault was what truly immersed me into the world of Nintendo. 7 years later I have every game in the series besides Zero and Command. The Switch reeeally needs a true successor to the 64/Adventures/Assault timeline.
Re: Rumour: A Second Toy Maker Says A New Sonic Racing Game Really Is Revving Its Engines
yessss
Re: Nintendo Download: 15th February (North America)
Axiom Verge is 30% off in the American shop so I'm getting that. Demo of Violet is needed, been considering it for its sale price of $5 but can't decide without playing it.
Re: Feature: Suiting Up For Combat With Battle Princess Madelyn On Switch And Wii U
Good pixel art. I love pixel art even if its over saturated these days, the ones with a ton of passion put into them stick out like this and Owlboy.
Re: Review: Owlboy (Switch eShop)
The taglines on this website I swear. Game looks fun but with the fairly steep download price I'll wait for the physical.
Re: Random: Orchestra Pranks Conductor With An Impromptu Rendition Of The Mii Channel Tune
Wonderful.
Re: Check Out All These New Discounts on My Nintendo in North America
All I see is lies
Re: Feature: The Most Exciting Indie Games Coming to Nintendo Switch In 2018
This is the first time in a while I've wanted more choices for a poll, the indie selection this year is already so good! Hollow Knight, King of Cards DLC, Fe, Bloodstained, and I'm curious about Terria..
Re: Feature: Bugging Out With Hollow Knight's Team Cherry
Day. One.
Re: Feature: The Biggest Nintendo Switch Retail Games of 2018
I have to say it's wonderful seeing Metroid Prime 4 have the majority here. Sometimes I just can't figure if us Metroid fanatics are a majority or a (very) loud minority.
Re: Review: Shu (Switch eShop)
This isn't meant to compete with the sidescrolling elites like Rayman and DK. For $10, this looks mighty fine to me. I'll probably get it sometime.
Re: Feature: Here's What Was Announced During The January 2018 Nintendo Direct Mini
Hoping a Nindies direct isn't too far behind now.
Re: Nintendo Direct Mini Is Happening Right Now
Tropical Freeze, Dark Souls... both with release dates. Good enough for me. Not an 'amazing' direct but honestly people were hyping this thing up WAY too much. I'm happy.
Re: Video: The 21 Best GameCube Games Money Can Buy
Star Fox Assault and Star Fox Adventures baby.
Re: Nintendo's Norwegian Site Triggers Speculation That Bayonetta 3 And Metroid Prime 4 Could Launch This Year
I'd be surprised if Bayo 3 wasn't this year. Prime 4 is always a possibility but I'm not buying it coming this year... was thinking mid-late 2019.
Re: Feature: What We Expect From The Inevitable January 2018 Nintendo Direct
I can buy all of that besides Prime 4. If they were that close to having a trailer ready, we likely would have seen something, ANYTHING of the game itself at E3 last year. No, I think we get our first real Prime 4 trailer this E3. Mario Maker 2 is definitely a huge possibility as well.
Re: Feature: What We Want From Nintendo In 2018
Retro Studios, a Smash port, VC/Classic game streaming serivce. All I will ask for.
Re: Slain: Back From Hell Now Runs at 60FPS
Morphite got an update too that MASSIVELY improved the framerate. Got a great new icon too.
Re: VS. Super Mario Bros.
It's up now on the NA eShop.
Re: More Festive Switch, 3DS And Wii U eShop Discounts Hit Europe
American sales are popping up too. Mega Man Legacy for $5.99 and Riptide GP: Renegade for $4.99 will be my steals after Christmas.
Re: Poll: Surprise! A New Zelda Is In Development, But What Do You Want From It?
That CDi option tho
Re: Rumour: Burnout Paradise Gets Rated For Switch Release In Brazil
If EA doesn't make it crumble (they haven't ruined Burnout yet and this would basically be a remaster) this would be my go-to driving game on Switch.
Re: VS. Super Mario Bros. is Jumping Onto the Switch eShop Next Week
I assume it will be $8 like Mario Bros, so I'll wait until I actually have a chance to play with my long-distance family before I get it. That said, it's almost a must buy for me.
Re: Review: Riptide GP: Renegade (Switch eShop)
Could scratch that Hydro Thunder itch in a way, I'll likely take a look come a sale!
Re: Final Fantasy And More Could One Day Arrive On Switch As Square Enix Considers Future Ports
That raptor foot photo was making me think Turok.
Re: Capcom Could Be Bringing Even More Ports To Nintendo Switch
To those wanting new games instead of ports, those are almost always great news but you have to remember one of the things that made the Switch so appealing was having a massive backcatalog of games from every era right at your fingertips. This is part of that, and it's shaping up very, very good.
