I emphasize with Reggies view of sequels since most Nintendo franchises enjoy one per console generation versus a cluster to keep shareholders and hardcore happy.
The Wii/DS era was eye opening for me as I found myself loving the quirky aesthetics of each consoles while listening to the consist drone of people crying about graphics. I will never forget Hirai’s ghetto comment about portables then watching the DS garner massive sales from children and adults alike.
Go away Capcom. SFIV had robust sales on the 3DS and Nintendo gave this clown air time during several directs. Please don’t tell me that groveling to Nintendo is the only way to earn another entry from your series. I don’t care for Mortal Kombat but can respect Netherrealm for at least being respectable to the Switch audience.
I unleashed this on my kids and their friends this weekend. It shockingly held their attention beyond Rocket League and Mario Marker 2. I did emphasize they do not engage in mircotransactions.
Gotta say being able to let the kids play Switch during the day and heading to bed with it for some portable Witcher is fantastic. I applaud these guys for their work.
Ya know they didn’t HAVE to go through the massive hurdles bring one of the best current gen games to Switch with all content. If the price tag is that vexing to people then don’t buy it. My free time is minimal right now but I definitely intend to support these guys hard work.
Pro Wrestling on Master System....DEAR GOD. The Ghost Loin art is more odd than horrible. The games character is a teen Victorian era girl but reimagined on the box as a 80’s pop star. I’d wager Valis III on Turbografx 16 is worse with its middle age woman cosplaying Red Sonja.
Seriously Konami, after this and Metal Gear Survive.....STOP. The overhead Contras have been lackluster to begin with, there was never a demand for this.
Konami seems to miss that western audiences saw Contra in the same light as Terminator and Aliens. One man vs a overarching seemingly impossible threat. Games like this and Neo Contra almost diminish the franchise to Power Rangers tongue in cheek interpretation. The last good Contra to me was still WayForwards.
This, Obra Dinn , and a HD rerelease of Xenoblade. I’m legitimately freaked that Nintendo has me strapped to a chair with a cable jammed into the pleasure center of my brain.
It used to depress me when it seemed like this was the only type of game Vita recieved in its later years. Thankfully the Switch has a much wider variety of products out on the shelves.....like sweet sweet arcade shooters.
I applaud them for the support. The fact that EA holds a monopoly on the NFL and snubs the Switch consistently is another check on the list of their failures.
I’ve got to stay away from the demo. I cancelled my preorder for it just because there is way too much in my Switch backlog. Heck of a problem to have from the Wii U days.
Kudos to Microsoft for doing this. This arrangement has to be doing decently for them, I think Cuphead’s Switch sales in Japan were more than they could ever hope to muster with just the Xbox. Looking forward to playing this.
EA is a blight. Yes they’ve made some good games and it’d be nice to see them on Switch but I can pass on the basis that they are horrible to their developers and gamers as a whole.
Sounds great! I love how some developers view the Switch as a platform to revitalize older series. Bubble Bobble just announced today is a prime example.
While disappointing it’s important to remember that Minecraft’s graphics hold a spot that other titles would kill for. All the advanced lighting and physics consistently melt away with each new plateau while Minecraft’s bare world is as iconic and comforting as booting up Super Mario Bros.
I actually found Iron Commando in the middle of nowhere USA a few years ago. It’s a solid brawler, also loved Top Gear, Tinhead, and Dragon View back in the day.

Re: Review: Alien: Isolation - One Of The Greatest Horror Games Of All Time Comes To Switch
I seriously would have bought this in a heartbeat, but just like GRID we get duped out of a retail copy? Disappointing.
Re: Four New Resident Evil Spirits Are Coming To Smash Bros. Ultimate Later This Week

Re: Japanese Charts: Disney Tsum Tsum Festival Fends Off Dragon Quest And Yo-Kai Watch For Top Spot
Yokai has really hit the skids. I know it’s just a updated port but this and part 4’s sale figures have got to be killing Level 5.

Physical release and I’m down.
Re: Review: Blasphemous - A Nightmarishly Good Mix Of Metroid And Dark Souls
Yeah this is some of the most unsettling art I’ve seen in a game. Skillful pixel work too. I’m in for the eventual physical release.

Re: An Overwatch Switch Carry Case Exists, No Prizes For Guessing What Comes Next
Every time a out of nowhere title gets announced for Switch ( see Witcher 3, Ori, etc) I think of that April Fools Direct.
I still want Portal and Wayne Knights Erotic Pinball.....
Re: Director Of Dragon Quest Builders Series Leaves Square Enix
love both Trauma Center and Etrian, had no clue the DQ Builders director had a hand in them.
Re: NBA 2K20 Developer Is Dedicated To A Quality Switch Version

Re: Reminder: Two More NES Games Hit The Switch, Plus Another Special Version Of Gradius
Vice was a good (and lengthy) NES game, bit easy but still very good.
Re: Video: Explore Dragon Quest XI S With The Series' Creator And Download A Demo Now
I’ve got to stay away from the demo. I cancelled my preorder for it just because there is way too much in my Switch backlog. Heck of a problem to have from the Wii U days.
Re: Mantis Burn Racing Gets A Physical Release In North America On 12th December
I really enjoyed it. shrug. The Japanese physical release is actually really cheap on EBay.

Re: Xbox Title Ori And The Blind Forest Is Making The Leap To Switch Next Month
Kudos to Microsoft for doing this. This arrangement has to be doing decently for them, I think Cuphead’s Switch sales in Japan were more than they could ever hope to muster with just the Xbox. Looking forward to playing this.
Re: EA Looking To Bring More Of Its Successful Games To Switch
Still amazed they were responsible for Henry Hatsworth, still one of the best DS games of all time.

Vice is a solid title, still have my NES copy.
Re: Review: Caladrius Blaze - A Mechanically Competent Shmup With Gratuitous Presentation
Review’s spot on to me. It’s not a great shooter by any means, the fan service is about the only way to buoy it.
Re: New Gameplay For Luigi's Mansion 3, Zelda: Link's Awakening And More To Be Shown At Gamescom
