The emulation quality must improve first. So far Nintendo has yet to design an emulator as good as the ones available on the internet. N64 emulation should include widescreen, hd resolutions, anti aliasong, and texture filtering. GameCube games should be remastered. We already have Dolphin for GC and Wii games. Nothing Nintendo would make could rival Dolphin.
People should be keeping their expectations low. Nintendo always has the worst E3 out of the big three. People get themselves overhyped and are naturally disappointed. Don't expect much because Nintendo never delivers.
People need to stop hyping up this company. They have put out six games that have received either mediocre or poor reviews. They're not some wonderful developer.
It's not Beyond Good & Evil 2. The game just barely started development. It doesn't have any platforms because it's years away from even being formally revealed.
@DragonEleven People also claimed that Retro was working on Eternal Darkness 2 and that turned out to be 2D Donkey Kong. The truth is we don't know what Retro is working. We don't know if this is still the same project they started a few years back.
People should not take this as a sign that Retro is making a Metroid game. Remember the last time Retro was making a new game? People were absolutely certain that it was going to be Eternal Darkness 2 but it ended up being 2D Donkey Kong. Besides, Retro is not the same company that made Metroid Prime. The company has changed and a lot of those key people don't work there anymore.
I can't think of many games that even take advantage of the better hardware. Game Freak never bothered patching X/Y and didn't even include support for the New 3DS in ORAS. With such a low resolution screen though the extra power kinda goes to waste.
I wish they had swapped out some of the textures with higher resolution ones. Most of them look pretty good considering they were designed for 720p but there are few here and there that don't look great.
People really need to keep their expectations in check. There's no reason to be mad about this when we all knew this was going to be the announcement. SEGA had hinted at this so where's the surprise?
@ballistic90 The FFVII Remake is a PS4 exclusive. So far it's been nearly two years since it was announced and no other platform has been announced. As for KH3, in all likelihood the Xbox One version has been or will be scrapped. Kingdom Hearts is a PlayStation centric series. The games have never come to a Nintendo home console. The HD remasters didn't come to Wii U or Switch.
Why are people still begging for Kingdom Hearts? If you want to play the games then buy a PS4. It's really that simple. Kingdom Hearts has always been on PlayStation. It's not an exclusive but all the main games have only been on PlayStation. I'm glad that people have at least finally realized that the FFVII Remake is a PS4 exclusive and so have stopped begging for it.
Lair was the last game they put out and it was a flaming pile of garbage. This isn't even the same company anymore either. The Factor 5 that put out classics has been dead for a long time.
For once Nintendo is in the right. Now that the company is expanding into theme park attractions, this represents a problem for them. It gives people the impression that this is licensed by Nintendo and could hurt the company if they're planning on having any Mario Kart attractions at Universal.
There is a serious lack of games. That is an indisputable fact. The Switch has only one AAA title available right now and that should not be acceptable.
This is just pathetic. There's no justification for why they couldn't take advantage of the much more powerful hardware on the Switch. No one cares whether Wii U owners would have gotten a gimped version because the tiny userbase makes the system less important. All that extra power in the Switch dock just isn't being put to use.
We already know that the Switch is extremely weak. The Switch is not getting third party games. Nintendo had their chance to reach out to third parties but they chose not too. UE4 support is meaningless when the system can't run any games.
@Morph Platinum is not working on a Bayonetta 3. Games are not made overnight. Platinum had their hands full working on two AAA titles. Scalebound was just canceled last month ago. Bayonetta 3 doesn't exist.
Also, please Nintendo Life actually check the facts first. This is the same exact space Nintendo had last year. It's nothing new.
The launch is disappointing. Stop defending Nintendo. They can't improve unless fans stop defending everything they do. An acceptable launch would be with at least five AAA first party titles in addition to a range of AAA third party titles. The launch lineup is disgraceful. The rest of the year's lineup is just as bad. The only other AAA title coming out this year is Mario. Nintendo needs a steady flow of AAA first party titles each year. 10-15 would be acceptable.
That is completely outrageous and I amazed at how any Nintendo an can can defend this. If people want easy real change at Nintendo then stop blindly supporting everything they do. This online service offers pittence in comparison to the competition.
This is absolutely pathetic and embarrassing. There is no excuse for making more 3DS games. You can't expect the Switch to sell if you insist on supporting your old system instead.

Re: PlatinumGames Has An "Interesting" Switch Title In Development
It's years away so don't expect anything at E3.

Re: Rumour: Artwork for Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle Posted Online
LKD is a fraud and was thoroughly debunked after the Switch event in January. Super Metal Dave, Emily Rogers, and LKD are all fakes.
Re: Ubisoft Confirms It Has An Unannounced Nintendo Switch Game in Development
It's not Beyond Good & Evil 2. The game just barely started development. It doesn't have any platforms because it's years away from even being formally revealed.
Re: Nintendo Direct for ARMS is Coming on 17th May
I don't think anybody really cares about this game.
Re: Talking Point: Nintendo Sets the Scene for Mario and the Switch at E3
Pokemon is never revealed at E3.
Re: Poll: Are You Excited About Nintendo's E3 2017 Plans?
Nintendo always has the most embarrassing E3's. Every year fans set their expectations high and every year Nintendo disappoints.
Re: Feature: Ten Wii U Games That Would Find a Loving Home on Nintendo Switch
Porting Wii U games is not going to sell systems. These games didn't interest people enough to buy a Wii U so why would anyone buy a Switch for them?
Re: Highly Regarded Game Composer, and Metroid Fan, is Working at Retro Studios

Re: Cemu Wii U Emulator Version 1.7.5 Shows Daunting Progress With Zelda: Breath of the Wild
@Danpal65 Making money off emulators is 100% legal. Look at Rare Replay. Microsoft could legally make money selling a Nintendo 64 emulator.

Re: NBA 2K18 Shaquille O'Neal Special Editions Coming to Nintendo Switch
This series still exists? Are people still dumb enough to keep buying these annual sports games?
Re: Hands On: Hey! Read These Hey! Pikmin Impressions
@Nin_Myski We have no evidence that this isn't Pikmin 4.
Re: Nintendo is Still Targeting Switch Sales to Match the Wii
Good luck. Though it's not outselling the PS4. Xbox one sure. Not ps4 though.
Re: Rumour: Super Mario/Rabbids Crossover Still in Works for Nintendo Switch
Emily Rogers is a fraud. Stop reporting her nonsense. She has been thoroughly debunked at this point.
Re: Nintendo States That Support for the 3DS Family of Systems Remains Strong
This is the wrong decision. Nintendo needs to devote their development resources to the Switch.
Re: New Nintendo 2DS XL Announced, Releases 28th July

Re: Poll: Do You Think Call Of Duty: WWII Will Come To Switch, And Would You Want It If It Did?
We already know it's not coming.
Re: Video: Here's Exactly What's New And Different In Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
I wish they had swapped out some of the textures with higher resolution ones. Most of them look pretty good considering they were designed for 720p but there are few here and there that don't look great.
Re: Video: Let's See How Mario Kart 8 Deluxe on Switch Compares to the Wii U Original
Nintendo really should have made higher resolution textures and bumped up the lighting and shadow quality.
Re: Nintendo Has Discontinued The NES Classic Edition in North America
This is nothing new for the company. They've been doing things like this for years.
Re: The Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Nintendo Switch Bundle Isn't Fake, But Is Exclusive to Russia
Obviously this is the work of Putin.
Re: Standalone Nintendo Switch Dock Available From May 19th
Didn't Nintendo at one point say the exact opposite?
Re: Feature: What We Expect From the Nintendo Direct - 12th April
People need to keep their expectations in check. People are only setting themselves up for disappointment with all this rampant speculation.

Re: Game Freak is Recruiting For New Console Game
They make other games besides Pokémon. There's no guarantee this is Pokémon related. Why do people always make assumptions?

Re: Reggie Fils-Aime Says Nintendo is 'Fact-Finding' on Joy-Con Connection and Screen Scratching Issues
Pretending like the issue doesn't exist just makes things worse.

Re: Nintendo Switch Now Reportedly Adds 25% Extra GPU Power for Developers in 'Mobile' Mode
These specs are horrendous. The Switch is what we all feared it would be, substantially weaker than the PS4.
Re: Guide: Nintendo Switch Launch Games & Release Dates 2017
There is no Pikmin game coming out on Switch. The only Pikmin game coming out is the one on 3DS.
Re: Virtual Console Will Not Be Ready For Nintendo Switch Launch
I don't expect much from Nintendo. The VC has been just terrible since its introduction. They really need to improve it.
Re: Video: Nintendo Switch User Interface Shown Off In Leaked Footage
Why is Nintendo being so secretive? The console launches next month. Their refusal to reveal more information is baffling.
Re: Eiji Aonuma Wants an 'Evolved 2D Style' From His Legend of Zelda Handheld Dev Team
Making any further 3DS games is unacceptable. The Switch needs 100% support from all Nintendo studios.
Re: Tatsumi Kimishima Outlines His Nintendo Targets, Laying the Groundwork for a Successor
Giving more leadership positions to younger developers is crucial. Nintendo's leadership is aging and it's harming the company.

Re: Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia Coming to 3DS on 19th May
@xPH03N1Xx86 That may be so but supporting the 3DS after the Switch has launched is stupid.

Re: Talking Point: What We Hope to See in the Fire Emblem Nintendo Direct
I am hoping they will finally announce Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn remasters.
