I'm already liking the environments of this game based on the snippets the've shown. Alpha dream may be no more, but you can tell ex AD devs. worked on this.
Impeccable timing from Nintendo too, lol. That Concord game turned out to be a complete disaster. What on earth was Sony thinking?!
Really good month. Echoes of Wisdom is a day 1. Epic mickey, plucky squire, lollipop chainsaw and Bakeru are also on the list. I'll be getting MvC collection physically in November as well.
I'll take it. It was like pulling teeth for Sega to get this series on Switch in the first place(although it shouldn't have been). I'm just happy they finally put a game from this series on Switch and at only $20.
I feel like this won't be the last time we'll see Playstation show up in Nintendo partner Directs. Also wouldn't surprise me if we get a bunch of newer Xbox 1st party titles on Switch 2. Crazy times.
Pretty cool. Hoping to finally get that MVC collection release date, Nintendo seems to have the marketing for this game so it would make sense to get another quick trailer and release date.
For me, as long as the launch lineup and year 1 roadmap is good enough, I could justify buying it at $500(imagine if we got new 3D Mario, new Mario Kart, SW2 version of Prime 4, and some third party titles etc.) That would sure as heck be more enticing to me than a PS5 or Xbox at the same price.
With that said, Nintendo isn't going to price it that high, nor should they tbh. $400-450 with a strong yr. 1 like the current Switch had will be good.
This makes sense. Nintendo isn't at the show, which means they didn't submit any.
They could've easily had Echoes of Wisdom, Mario Party, M&L Brothership and FDC but they chose not to be at the show. Nothing really embarrassing about this.
I like how they put that disclaimer. Despite it being obvious from the name of the Direct alone that there wouldn't be any game or Switch 2 announcements. Always will be those people that will play dumb and expect game announcements in events like these.
I still want to get this on Switch at some point. Not really surprised it hasn't sold well; it was announced, had no release date for a while and then delayed. I didn't see much advertising for it either.
I would love a new entry on Switch 2 in the next few years. With Disney owning X-men now, a new entry wouldn't run into the issues that Infinite did either.
See, when devs. actually put effort into it, you get good ports like this. Ports like this does away with the whole "Switch is super underpowered"/"barely stronger than the Gamecube" ideals.
Never played an Ace Combat title before, but this looks interesting.
It's all about the games and how well they market it. Sony has been "getting away with"(for lack of better term) iterative consoles all these years and are doing fine. Even the PS5 has a questionable 1st party lineup and is heavily leaning on 3rd party titles.
Nintendo doesn't need to get too crazy with being "weird" either. I think people would far more upset with something different than the Switch rather than an iteration. As I already stated, just bring the games(new Mario Kart, Smash, 3D Mario, Zelda, Pokemon, Animal Crossing etc. etc) and people will come over to Switch 2.
However, I think Nintendo will manage longer development cycles better than most other companies. Not every game Nintendo puts out will be some massive open world game and/or a game with ultra detailed graphics and textures.
I'm most excited to play MVC2 again after all of these years. Even more excited to play it on Switch since I have a good fightpad for Switch(I didn't have anything like on PS3).
This collection is such a dream come true. Never thought we would see something like this.
Exactly. Prime 4 doesn't need some radical change in gameplay.
It's hilarious that some folks are surprised it's running on Switch while others(and maybe some of the same, knowing how folks on the internet roll) are expecting it to look better. lol

Re: Yakuza Kiwami Might Only Be A "Download Distribution" On Switch
I'll take it. It was like pulling teeth for Sega to get this series on Switch in the first place(although it shouldn't have been). I'm just happy they finally put a game from this series on Switch and at only $20.
Re: Guilty Gear Strive Confirmed For Switch In 2025, Includes Rollback Netcode
Very nice. Definitely interested in picking this up on Switch next year.
Re: Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom Trailer Introduces Us To The 'Still World' And Dungeons
This looks so awesome. Cannot wait for this game.
Re: Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection Punches Up September Release
As much as I want this, I'll hold off until the physical release. I usually don't mind going digital, but a collection like this, physical is a must.
Re: Yakuza Kiwami Brings The Dragon Of Dojima To Switch For The First Time
About time Sega. I'm definitely picking this up.

Re: Nintendo Indie World & Partner Direct Announced For Tomorrow, August 27th 2024
Pretty cool. Hoping to finally get that MVC collection release date, Nintendo seems to have the marketing for this game so it would make sense to get another quick trailer and release date.
Re: New Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom Footage Gives A Whistle-Stop Tour Of Faron Wetlands
This game looks so great, happy to the return of the Deku scrubs.
Re: Japanese Charts: Powerful Pro Baseball Knocks It Out Of The Park, Again
Crazy how the Switch has sold this much/been out this long and can still combine to sell over 100k in a week, without any brand new releases.
Re: Talking Point: Would $499 Be Too Much For 'Switch 2'?
For me, as long as the launch lineup and year 1 roadmap is good enough, I could justify buying it at $500(imagine if we got new 3D Mario, new Mario Kart, SW2 version of Prime 4, and some third party titles etc.) That would sure as heck be more enticing to me than a PS5 or Xbox at the same price.

Re: Gamescom's Best Nintendo Game Award Scrapped Because Of "Too Few" Games
This makes sense. Nintendo isn't at the show, which means they didn't submit any.
They could've easily had Echoes of Wisdom, Mario Party, M&L Brothership and FDC but they chose not to be at the show. Nothing really embarrassing about this.
Re: Nintendo Announces 'Nintendo Museum Direct'
I like how they put that disclaimer. Despite it being obvious from the name of the Direct alone that there wouldn't be any game or Switch 2 announcements. Always will be those people that will play dumb and expect game announcements in events like these.
Re: Rumour: Game Developers Supposedly Told Not To Expect Switch "Successor" In Current Financial Year
I was personally expecting it to release in March at the earliest anyway. So if it release some time in Q2 next year, it wouldn't surprise me at all.
Re: Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom New Art And Screenshots Revealed By Nintendo
Looks fantastic. Really happy they used this art style again.
Re: New Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom Trailer Highlights Smoothie Making, Horse Riding, And Waypoints
This looks fantastic. Some nice features overall, love to see deku scrubs return and the two different types of Zora.
Re: Random: Zelda: Breath Of The Wild Sold Better Than Tears Of The Kingdom Last Quarter
Doesn't surprise me. BotW can be found for cheaper, has more name recognition, and is a better entry point for any new Switch owners.
I prefer TotK, but BotW is still a fantastic game in its own right.
Re: Braid: Anniversary Edition Sales Have Been "Utterly Terrible", Says Creator
I still want to get this on Switch at some point. Not really surprised it hasn't sold well; it was announced, had no release date for a while and then delayed. I didn't see much advertising for it either.
Re: Capcom's Investors Want Monster Hunter Wilds On Switch, Because Of Course
I'm pretty confident this will be on Switch 2. As is the case with other 3rd party titles like Metaphor and Persona 3 remake.
Re: Capcom Says There Might Be An Opportunity For A New MvC Game
I would love a new entry on Switch 2 in the next few years. With Disney owning X-men now, a new entry wouldn't run into the issues that Infinite did either.
Re: Video: Digital Foundry Gives Its Tech Verdict On Ace Combat 7 For Switch
Whaddya know, when devs. put the effort into porting games to Switch(assuming it's in the realm of possibility like this game), you get good results.
Re: The Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection Will Be At EVO 2024
Fingers crossed we get a release date. Day 1 pickup regardless.
Re: 'Emio - The Smiling Man: Famicom Detective Club' Launches On Switch Next Month
Nice to see a new FDC game. Pretty nice way to market the game with the Emio tease.
Re: Review: Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown Deluxe Edition (Switch) - Returns For Another Pass With A Top-Flight Port
See, when devs. actually put effort into it, you get good ports like this. Ports like this does away with the whole "Switch is super underpowered"/"barely stronger than the Gamecube" ideals.
Never played an Ace Combat title before, but this looks interesting.
Re: UK Charts: Switch Games Take Up Eight Of The Top Ten
Nice to see Switch games dominate the chart. Super impressive for a platform this old.
Re: Nintendo Reveals Disturbing 'Emio' Teaser, And Fans Are Baffled
This is really interesting. I would love to see a horror title from Nintendo.
Re: Soapbox: Has Nintendo Set A Precedent That 'Switch 2' Can't Hope To Match?
It's all about the games and how well they market it. Sony has been "getting away with"(for lack of better term) iterative consoles all these years and are doing fine. Even the PS5 has a questionable 1st party lineup and is heavily leaning on 3rd party titles.

Re: Nintendo President Says Longer Game Development Cycles Are "Unavoidable"
Indeed.
However, I think Nintendo will manage longer development cycles better than most other companies. Not every game Nintendo puts out will be some massive open world game and/or a game with ultra detailed graphics and textures.
Re: What Review Score Would You Give Luigi's Mansion 2 HD?
Man, the trolls really hurt the legitimacy of the rankings on this site. In no way is this a game 1/10. 🙄
Anyway, when I played this game on 3DS it was a solid 8/10 game for me. Highly recommend folks picking it up if they haven't already.
Re: Here's A Closer Look At The 'Echoes' In The New Zelda Game For Switch
This new ability already looks awesome. This game is an easy day 1 buy.
Re: Review: Beyond Good & Evil: 20th Anniversary Edition (Switch) - Beyond Good, Still
Great to have this on Switch, I'll finally get around to playing it now.
Re: Donkey Kong Country Returns HD Costs $60 On Switch
Not really surprising or confusing considering DK has a lot more appeal than Metroid.
Re: Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom Is The Most Wishlisted Game Of The Summer Showcase Season
Love to see it. Zelda, Prime 4, Mario and Luigi and the MvC collection are all day 1 pickups for me.
Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For Beyond Good & Evil: 20th Anniversary Edition
Never played this on Cube, but definitely want to check this out now that it's on Switch.
Re: Review: Luigi's Mansion 2 HD (Switch) - The Best Version, But Lacks Extras To Make It Essential
Great game. Glad they put it on Switch for more people to enjoy.
Re: 'The Zelda Effect' Causes Game Sales To Drop This May (Europe)
Doesn't surprise me at all. Even with spending down, really hard to beat the absolute behemoth that was TotK.
Re: Some Of The "Original Developers" Are Working On Mario & Luigi: Brothership
Don't care who's making it as long as the game is good. So far, the game looks good and seems pretty faithful to past entries.
Re: Soapbox: Marvel Vs. Capcom Was The Unsung Hero Of The June Nintendo Direct
@msvt
It's the Hori Fighting Commander. Not a fightstick, but it works well. 6 button layout and a solid dpad.
Re: Soapbox: Marvel Vs. Capcom Was The Unsung Hero Of The June Nintendo Direct
Indeed it was.
I'm most excited to play MVC2 again after all of these years. Even more excited to play it on Switch since I have a good fightpad for Switch(I didn't have anything like on PS3).
This collection is such a dream come true. Never thought we would see something like this.
Re: Japanese Charts: Shin Megami Tensei V Takes Vengeance On Paper Mario
Doesn't surprise that this sold more on Switch, despite it being a rerelease. PS5 software numbers are just never good in Japan.
Re: No, The Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Trailer Was Not Running On 'Switch 2'
It really shouldn't surprise people that it was running on the current Switch.
Then again, there are folks that are greatly misinformed and think the Switch is much less capable than it actually is.
Re: Video: New Metroid Prime 4 Footage Spotted On Nintendo's Teaser Website
This looks so good.
Re: Switch Online's Latest N64 Release 'Perfect Dark' Appears To Have Some Emulation Issues
It'll probably be patched soon. Don't care if it's on PC, I prefer to play on Switch.
Re: Feature: 25 Things You Might Have Missed In The Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom Reveal Trailer
Love the callbacks and returning elements(characters, enemies, items etc.) from not only classic Zeldas but the newer ones too.
This game looks great, day 1 buy.
Re: Soapbox: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Won't Be The Franchise's 'BOTW Moment', And That's Okay
Exactly. Prime 4 doesn't need some radical change in gameplay.
It's hilarious that some folks are surprised it's running on Switch while others(and maybe some of the same, knowing how folks on the internet roll) are expecting it to look better. lol
