@Joeynator3000 they know they exist and while they are a good alternative they are not keyboard and mouse. If we hold Nintendo to their standard of no compromise when it comes to gameplay, why not the others too?
@SpeedRunRocks they lost the f....ing source code of that collection so the only proof of its existence is the commercial it had (which is in youtube). I’m still very, VERY mad at Capcom from screwing fans the opportunity to enjoy the colored entries of the GB, specially V.
Anyway for those saying this is the first time 8 is portable, it is not. You can actually buy the PS1 classic on your PSP or Vita and play to your heart content.
With all this games I need Nintendo to upgrade the Switch menu to something more friendly instead of going through all the titles until you find the one.
While having Miyamoto on board could keep things as straight as possible I highly doubt his capabilities as a good storyteller. This is a movie, not a game, and considering how he was part of botching the plot on Paper Mario I’m a bit worried here.
Of course this movie not being a Pixar movie is the biggest worry of all, let’s see how it pans out.
This is just hope from Miyamoto, truth is, they’ll need to release a new console in about 5 years to keep competing as always. Hopefully the design ideas behind the Switch will be mostly kept and improved and I hope that Nintendo manages to get Nvidia to make some custom chip for their next console instead of something already out there.
@thesilverbrick A proper singleplayer campaign would be awesome. The concept of Subspace Emissary was cool even though the implementation was lacking, just bring someone who can tell a really cool coherent plot (even with all the shenanigans going with characters from all franchises) and something like an expanded Smash Run from the 3DS ( just make the enemies less annoying) and then you have something “new” to offer.
Hell make it metroidvania so there are some hard reaching or obscure places where you could unlock secret characters.
@LordGeovanni because (and get this) its not about you or the reduced Wii U audience. The Switch has already surpassed the Wii U lifetime sales, and it will continue to grow, so why not allow those people to enjoy the games they might missed? Just because you already have them? Ain’t that supremely egocentrical and petty?
@LordGeovanni classic petty opinion of WiiU fanboys. The system is dead, nobody should be forced to buy it to experience its games if they don’t want to. Having the choice of porting to a more desirable machine far outweights what (and I’m sorry I have to say it) butthurt fans that feel slighted for being so loyal (nobody forced you) to Nintendo during their dark days want.
The shortsightedness of some fanboys here is astounding. Adding capabilities does not work against the console in any way, only on your warped mind.
The Switch being what it is is perfect for apps like Netflix, Youtube, or anything on video, because you can have that in both portable and TV form. Even if the console itself is not your only device the ability to just stream any of those services with a quick HDMI cable is awesome.
@Crono1973 I can understand home consoles, it is a “hassle” to change the consoles when you want to alternate games. But portables? Man just pick up and play, no hassle at all.
@Agramonte never understood this trade mentality. I just keep my consoles always. If I have trouble buying another then I keep saving until I can afford it, games will always be there.
I just hope they changed the leveling system because trying to level anything beyond 50, its almost impossible.
And please bring back the restaurant/cafe/secret bases/whatever new so I can level swathes of pokemon quicker. Really leveling should not be something that hard.
I don't know but it seems each new batch of rewards is like a race to see how low they can get with the program. Might as well cancel it, it is useless piece of crap.
Man and people here ask why third parties are so boneheaded in their choices for Nintendo consoles. With fans asking for this to come for another console (Switch), saying the game doesn't look that interesting until they have a costume of a Nintendo character and stupid things like that, no wonder we get the short end on the third party game (aside from Nintendo own choices and other companies bias).
OR, hear me out, this is bats**t insane but it may work, include into the system so the only thing you have to acquire aside from the console is a headpiece.
I know I know, I'm no business or tech guru, what do I know, Nintendo is always innovating right?
Perhaps this time they fixed that horrible experiencie experiment where you get less experience the higher your level is and the lower the other pokemon level is.
It was a nightmare leveling in this games something past lvl40, which makes breeding dragons and most of gen 6 mons a chore. I hope they also give more options to the battle restaurant so I can level up there, that thing was the most intelligent thing Gamefreak did in X/Y, it is the sole reason I have a living dex in that gen.
Seems like this will be the first actual Fire Emblem game I'll buy, sometimes I hate being an adult and having few time to play the proper franchise...
I mean, the selection of games is to cover as much bases with the most recognizable games as possible. Who in the general public knows of Terranigma? Or Demon's Crest?
Still I wouldn't worry, this thing is going to get hacked ASAP and the more hardcore types can include their most wanted games.
@GameOtaku look you may not like it but those are the rules, the laws of the game. If you go against them you lose plain and simple.
You are not entitled to their IPs, they don't owe you a thing, and fans certainly don't own the IP as much as they want it, so we could all think a thousand reason of why Nintendo is the bad guy or why they should lighten up and let everything go but reality is different and you either acknowledge it or you can moan as much as you like achieving nothing.
Whatever brings the games, make it so. It is clear now with the Pro and the X that the Switch won't ever compete with those powerhouses and that again it will miss most of the games designed with those consoles in mind.
Yet if publishers see the Switch as a powerful mobile alternative for some titles that can be scaled down without much compromise then what the hell, let them see the Switch that way.
I just hope this comes out on the 3DS at least, I don't care for 7 or 8 because I already have means to play them portable, but 9 and 10 are missing a portable format and this would be the best time to give that to us.
Hell this collection should be on 3DS/Switch/Vita too.
@joey302 I'm 99% sure I won't have to, that's Nintendo for you. Though if they do offer a really decent to good service I'll be sure to prep my stomach and wallet.
It is a great piece of hardware and I sure as hell had fun with it, but still I think this portable is the first "incomplete" one in a long series of awesome portables from Nintendo.
And it wasn't all their fault, by incomplete I mean that at least 2 key franchises, Castlevania and Megaman (lets forget Metroid for a moment here) weren't there. Aside from that questionable Mirror of Fate game there wasn't a decent normal entry in any of those franchise which is baffling because since the GB there was at least one game representing.
Still having a portable Smash made it an easier pill to swallow.
You all know that reporting something is not endorsing right? No need to act high and mighty like a teenage who recently discovered he/she can be a paragon of light in this dark world.
I swear you guys come off as childish as the things you deride.
@Anti-Matter its hard to do when they have been making dubious choices for more than 4 years in a row. I love, love their games but the way the manage their hardware and software is sometimes baffling.
Each days gives me less and less reasons to buy a Switch. I don't want to miss another generation damn it.
Its like DRM, all have blown up in the developers faces, and the less flexible it is the blow up is bigger. Sometimes I think Nintendo managment is mentally impaired...
@NEStalgia kind of but goes far beyond that, it is the system used to build everything we use, to investigate the very essence of existence, its not just something we use to think how much we will walk or hot our coffee is. So I'd say we kinda have a greater reason to use it beyond being accustomed to it.
@NEStalgia actually I wouldn't mind kelvin, though I'm accustomed to it because I study engineering and I'd say it is the definitive system for measuring temperature.
And while you are right that people wouldn't want to change to a superior or more comfortable system because they are accustomed to theirs, it still is a pain in the back to manage the imperial when most of the times you are working on the metric.
