@jcboyer515 They've patched some stuff (and also added selectable skills for fusion) but I'm not sure if they fixed all the issues regarding the game's performance. From what I've heard, the game still has frame drops and the OST is still compressed (unless they fixed all of that idk).
Here before we get overhyped for that mystery game announcement and it ends up being a Bakugan game lol (it could be Bayo 3 but given how silent they've been with it and how the creator told us to forget about it leads me to think it's something else)
This reminds me of the time an American politician mistook a parody Nintendo Twitter account as the real one and was disgusted by a picture of the Mario Bros. kissing each other for pride month.
@Kimyonaakuma Here's hoping that the sales on other platforms will convince Sega and Atlus to make all their games multiplatform instead of console exclusive. That way the whole SMT/Persona console debate thing can come to an end
@Rygar It's turn-based combat. Both you and the enemies have physical and elemental weaknesses they can be exploited, and you can negotiate with your enemies and get them to join your team
@SwitchForce They don't get money from the people who sell their old games for hundreds of dollars either. Nintendo isn't getting any of that $300+ for Path of Radiance or $200 for Pokémon Platinum or HGSS. Whether you pirate or buy from a second-hand dealer, Nintendo isn't getting your money either way.
Modern games are a different story as digital shops exist so there's no reason not to buy the game unless you're stingy with money. But since Nintendo refuses to put some of their older console stuff on a digital eshop, there are only 2 options left for the consumer: emulate it, or spend way too much money for a 10+ year old game
@Crono1973 There should be no GameCube ports because that wouldn't be fair to the 22 million people who supported Nintendo while Sony absolutely crushed them that gen. Want to play those games, you should've been there to support Nintendo that gen. How dare people ask to have GameCube games on their platform of choice. (this is sarcasm)
Pokémon fans: complaining about their anniversary games Metroid/Kid Icarus fans: probably crying in the corner knowing Nintendo probably forgot about their birthdays
@OwenGamer22 After doing some research, it seems I was mistaken. I thought I heard something back in the day about Beneath the Mask being available if you had Smash data but I guess I just remembered wrong
Man there sure is a lot of people against ports lol. I feel some of the DS games could use the HD remaster treatment and there are some 3DS games that could use another shot (like Kid Icarus Uprising). I feel a good compromise would be to make an "x classics" line of games to honor the console the game was originally on. For example, a DS remaster/port could be under the "DS Classics" line or something. That way, the console it was originally on gets the acknowledgment that it deserves and old games can get preserved for future generations. While playing games on their original hardware is nice, sometimes acquiring said games can be a nightmare because they're hard to find or expensive (looking at you DS/3DS Dragon Quest)
Anyway, some DS/3DS games I would like to get the HD treatment on Switch
FE Awakening/Fates/Echoes
Kid Icarus Uprising
Kirby Planet Robobot
Phoenix Wright Dual Destinies/Spirit of Justice
Trauma Center Under the Knife 1+2
Monster Hunter 3/4 Ultimate
Sonic Rush Duology + Colors
Pokemon Conquest
Dragon Quest 4-9
Rhythm Heaven Megamix
Luigi's Mansion 1 (IMO it should've been a Switch remake instead of a 3DS "remake" but alas)
@Munchlax They technically already did that on 3DS with the special edition version but a Switch version would be cool even if Fates is one of the most divisive games in the series
@Lady_rosalina I'm just pointing out how dudes can be close to naked/showing a lot of skin in this game and be fine but women have to be censored if they show the slightest bit of skin that isn't the face or arms because it's "not for good boys and girls" according to CERO. Not saying that they should show as much skin as Camilla from Fire Emblem or Mai from Fatal Fury or any other character with a lot of exposed skin but you should be able to show a small amount of skin without CERO going "that's too naughty. Cover that up." Then again Pyra/Mythra at least still look good despite the changes to their design, plus ZSS and Bayo still show some skin so I guess CERO isn't completely afraid of the female body.
@Wilforce If by f2p model, you mean we'll have to pay for costumes with irl money, I disagree with having that (even though the amiibo costumes already kinda count as that doesn't it)
@Kevember I thought it was pretty alright. Pyra/Mythra, NMH3 release date, Mario Golf, Legend of Mana, Project Triangle Strategy, Skyward Sword HD, Splatoon 3. Could there have been more, yes (that DC game shouldn't have been in the direct IMO, much less wasted 2 minutes, and the Triangle Strategy game took a bit long for a game that's not coming this year) but what we got was pretty good. I wouldn't call it a massive disappointment but that's just me. Anouma saying there's no BOTW 2 news was really disappointing though.
@Isaix There are a few DS/3DS ports/sequels on Switch, just nowhere near as many as the Wii U ports. TWEWY, Rune Factory 4, Alliance Alive, Monster Hunter Generations, Resident Evil Revelations, The Phoenix Wright Trilogy, Super Kirby Clash, Kirby Fighters 2. I probably missed some. It'd be cool to see some 3DS games come to Switch like the FE games, SMT, Bravely Default, Kid Icarus Uprising, Metroid: Samus Returns, etc.

Re: Check Out Shin Megami Tensei III Nocturne HD Remaster's "World's Rebirth" Story Trailer
@jcboyer515 He's referring to the "play a real SMT game" meme since hardcore SMT fans say that Persona doesn't count as a real SMT game.
