Echoes is the first truly good Fire Emblem in exactly 10 years; the last good one being Radiant Dawn.
The DS games were merely serviceable (12 being much better than 11 at least) and really just felt like stopgap games for some reason.
Awakening was pretty decent for its time....a time when the fate of the series was unknown with Nintendo threatening the fans with potentially axing the series and refusing to release 12 in the west. So seeing Awakening release over here was a miracle. Anyway, game is so incredibly flawed in so many ways, but at least it managed to resonate with people despite that.
Fates was just....poop.
Heroes was just an extension of the "Fire Emblem All Stars" thing they wanted to do with Awakening, but at the same time it's just get another gacha based mobile game just with an FE skin. It does at least get extra points for FINALLY GIVING ME AMELIA.

That's looking nice. Would be interested if I still had an N64....though maybe I'll still get one and a USB adapter for emulation.

Most likely just ports and remasters if SNES and PS1 era games. Those seem to do well on Switch.

I haven't been excited for a Nintendo game in so long! That said, I don't want to feed the scalpers.

It's basically MH5. It's a main game, just with no number.

I'm not sure if the problem has been solved by now, but when USB C started becoming prevalent in modern devices...like last year I believe, many cheap wires started to flood the market which weren't properly made.
The issue was, a lot of these cables couldn't regulate power input and output correctly, which can fry your device and even damage your power supply since they end up drawing TOO MUCH power.
Again, I'm not sure if most or all of these wires have been put out of circulation yet (I doubt it), which is why I'm saying to be careful.
Do a Google search for safe USB C cables if you want to be careful with your $300+ investment. There's a Google engineer whose been buying and reviewing cables to see which ones are good and which are bad. I believe someone has entered his findings into a spreadsheet online.

Speaking of chargers, I hope all y'all Switchers are being careful with what USB C cables you're buying.

@Retron
Metroid Souls please....

Hopefully means more games will make their way to Android. One of old, but still recent Tomb Raider games just popped up on Android (for ShieldTV-only though) almost out of nowhere, so that means that Android porting is surprisingly still alive.

Hm, if on the slim chance I ever get a Switch for whatever reason, I'll have to look into getting a Blanc cover.

Will this be another N64 situation?

Didn't they also say the 3DS screen scratching issue wasn't "significant" either?

@Jaded_Drybones
Hmmm....perhaps I should try cleaning my disc drive lens.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE
Those of us who were/are afraid of heights.
And/or had sweaty hands and thus bad grip.

All I know from playing this myself on Wii U is that frame drops are rather frequent, sometimes going below 20 FPS. Really hope they patch this game again as it's a great game. It just runs like magikarp...

@Sinton
It's basically a YOU don't use it, but MANY OTHER people probably do situation.
If you don't understand the need for it, then that's just fine. Doesn't make those features unnecessary though.

Pffttt

Excellent! I'll get it someday. I can't be bothered to dust off my Wii U yet, so the game will have to wait.

THE WEBSITE CHANGED

Since MS is trying to mix W10 and Xbox together anyway, how about making a gaming focused palmtop UMPC?
Basically like the GPD Win, but more powerful.

@Ryu_Niiyama
Huh, I thought these shops don't save your card info unless you allow for it though.

@Ryu_Niiyama
VISA credit cards work. I buy most of my JP 3DS games from eShop. Well, just the really cheap stuff so I won't feel too burned if I lose the system and all my ganes forever.

They FINALLY caught up to Sony. So far.

Well.....it's a Kemco game. Generic is kinda their thing really. Being generic is stable and allows them to continuously churn out more and more games, which gives them more and more chances to make some kind of profit. Eventually.

@RainbowGazelle
They'll eventually just cause the entirety of Comiket to shut down, I bet. They've let it go for so long now, but I can see today's Nintendo destroying it eventually.

I'm surprised they didn't just send in the Yakuza.

Pretty much skewed in the Switch's favor, as it's the only rechargeable device with a brand new battery. This really doesn't prove anything other than "the Switch not dying for 5 hours if you fall asleep with it at the menu".

Don't worry, this is just a ploy to get people to buy more pro controllers and maybe joycon replacements. Once they see that dirty tactics won't work, they'll "fix" it.

So they FINALLY remembered how to do good standby battery life? Sony completely mopped the floor with them in that regard last gen, so it's nice to see Nintendo learning how to learn again.

What? Didn't have any Vita games on hand?
Would've been nice to see comparison of Vita, 3DS, and Switch.

Won't let me use capitals...

Are you sure?

@PorllM
At this point, I'm pretty sure they KNOW it'll sell bad. It's probably a Retro City Rampage situation where they're still making it as a gift for Wii U owners. No idea why their publisher would allow that though.

Cool, but they gave everyone who owns the original on PC a copy of this for free, so I'll stick with that.

Does anyone know if Amelia is in the game yet? She's one of the very few reasons I still have this thing installed.

Game is looking fantastic.

In other words, they ran out of time. Again.

Even if it's "capable" of VR, I suspect that what it can actually RENDER will be quite limited. Plus, I can only see problems with SwitchVR consider how low the pixel density of the Switch's screen is compared to what would be considered optimal. They would also need to figure out how they're going to do positional tracking for the headset and the controllers. Also weight and heat issues, etc.

@PlywoodStick
I just rather not call them by fake names that some random people made up out of pure convenience.

This DNA talk sounds familiar.....

Well they're only Nintendo if they use mostly old tech anyway. At least it's still SOMEWHAT viable, unlike the Wii U and 3DS whose various tech parts were way over 4 years old by the time it released.

So yeah, at least this time Nintendo is only using 2 year old tech instead of 4++++ year old.
And remember friends, the Tegra X2 DOES NOT EXIST.

This just makes me angrier than when MK8 originally came out.

Uh huh.
Show, don't tell Miyamoto.

That's what the Switch is Kimishima.
Now that you're doing the whole home and portable divisions fused thing, don't start fragmenting things again.
The Switch is already a portable. No matter what you say and no matter what your fans say, it's a portable that just so happens to have TV out. Some people might fall for your home console branding, but many others will see it as a portable. So then, releasing another portable that "succeeds" the 3DS (which again, is one of the things the Switch is already doing) could confuse people and nowadays you could also have people wondering why they should buy two NEW GEN portables from the same company to play all the new games.
Instead, do a handheld-only Switch Mini or Switch Lite. Give it a smaller screen (4-5 inches) at 960x540 or 1280x720 (960x540 will look fine and should help the performance of games; maybe even get it closer to how performance would be on the normal Switch's console mode; would also be cheaper), get rid of the Joycon gimmick (this is for saving costs and to make the device more compact), make it a clamshell, and use ALL the same specs as the normal Switch so people can play the same games (well maybe not all of them like ARMs and 1-2-Switch, but this "Lite" model will just be a full on portable anyway). And price it at $200.
Don't refragment the market after spending so much time and money combining your businesses together.
If you're concerned about keeping the Switch name for it, give it a swivel-hinge. Boom, Switches between handheld and tablet. There >.>

Just downloaded Heroes.....I turned off the sound right away to keep myself from stabbing my phone.

Overly optimistic.
However if they want a chance of getting at least a fourth of that....PLEASE ADVERTISE.

The PS4 already has trouble with VR, so I hesitate to consider the Switch even being capable of much. At best it'll likely just be for small, mobile-style VR experiences.

@ricklongo
They're not Nintendo so I doubt it.

...lol?

Cool. I'll just get it on PC or PS4.
