SpongeBob SquarePants the movie game on the GC was one of my favorites, hopefully, we can see something like that or even a remaster of that game I would replay.
@H_Hunter the thing is, Nintendo switch isn't trying to compete with ps4/xbox on that front. Switch buyers and Nintendo fans know what they're buying into and what to expect, so most including myself are ok with those inferior but portable versions. Thinking a tablet can get the same results of the ps4 is wishful but stupid thinking.
@nitrolink I remember seeing an article on the director of KH3 stating that they wouldn't mind porting it to the switch but they want to release them on the original platforms they developed them for first (xb1, ps4).
@Deathwalka The problem with adding the more powerful chip is that it would increase the price of the system which anything exceeding the current price point would've had an issue with. Also, the thing with publishers being lukewarm or cautious with bringing their games to the system has a lot more to do with sales than it is the power of the switch. If they see they can make money from bringing a game to the platform it'll be made regardless of the power (ex: Wii). With the failure of the Wii U, many pubs were probably expecting the switch to be the same story, hence their shyness from the switch.
@gatorboi352 Skyrim which is on every platform ever it feels like actually sold really well on switch. So I wouldn't be surprised to see Dark Souls do just as well. Me personally, I'm willing to double dip.
@Fight_Teza_Fight But wouldnt Last Guardian, God of War and Spider-Man ALSO all be safe franchises for Sony as well. Every platform has their exclusive franchises which they recycle but you cant say BotW was just another Zelda formulaic game.
@Menchi187 Monster Hunter will always be better on handheld systems because of the local coop and that's something the series and fans thrived off of. That's something the switch offers, hence it being the best place to play the series. You keep bringing up graphics when that's not what really makes a game or monster hunter as a series. I guarantee when they release a new Monster Hunter title to switch it'll sell better. And by no means am I saying World is a bad game but its factually was better on handhelds AND sold better.
@Steven_the_2nd iOS is just a lot more limited compared to what you can tinker with on your Android. If you're not interested in things like that, stick to iPhone, no need to poop on him for using his note 8 to the fullest.
@BensonUii A huge number of MH fans and players love it portable because of the playing with friends aspect and historically MH has sold way better on portable systems then on home consoles. I DO INDEED think MH games on home consoles is good but its such a shame they completely ignored the switch. MH: World on the switch would perform well enough on a home console aspect but would perform exceptionally well for handheld compared to previous iterations.
@MagnaRoader the problem with the original PSP was everyone or almost everyone bought one to run emulators on them thus Sony and developers losing money from bad software sells. Vita's special memory card and poor marketing and no big games killed that. Sony just doesnt really understand the handheld market and should stay making home consoles.
@readyletsgo Sony has said they have no plans to make a hybrid console. It would mean they would have to compete directly with Nintendo in that handheld space and have proved time AND time again they just can't win. PS4 is a hit they just need to worry about that.

Re: Lots Of Developers At Square Enix Want To Make Games For Switch, Says President And CEO
@Menchi187 Why, do you think that? From what SE has said from their own mouths, it could most definitely happen.

@Octane the easiest thing was hacking the psp though. Now THAT was a good piracy machine in all honesty.

Re: Feature: Here's What Was Announced During The January 2018 Nintendo Direct Mini
@NintyNate You're expecting too much out of a direct "mini". This was perfectly good for a quick little direct to show off games early 2018.

Re: It Appears That Nintendo Has Unfinished Business With The 1080° Snowboarding Series
1080 Avalanche on the Gamecube was so good, i hope they revive the series
Re: Bayonetta 2 On Switch Will Come With These Changes
@canucksfan989 Wasnt the wii u version 60fps? I wouldnt be surprised if the switch version was 1080p 60

Re: Editorial: Trying to Play Monster Hunter XX in Japanese on the Nintendo Switch
@ShadJV Sony really has no say in whether Nintendo should get MH though, i think you meant Capcom
Re: Editorial: Trying to Play Monster Hunter XX in Japanese on the Nintendo Switch
@Agramonte we dont want monster hunter stories either (i.e pokemon ripoff)

Re: Expect Inti Creates To Spread The Love (And Some New Details) On Gal Gun 2
@JayJ if it is rapey to do that to unwilling girls in the game, wouldn't it be just as rapey as well if it was guys too?

Re: We Can't Ignore The Switch, Says Sony's Head Of Corporate Planning
@wiggleronacid the ps vita was also incredible for what it offered compared to the 3ds but you see how Sony killed it using its own hands.
