@Trajan considering this is a Nintendo site, one would argue the interest of Nintendo's current handhelds makes more sense than dead ones, or rivals like iPhones or Galaxy phones.. But whatever floats your boat. Since I am a 3ds and Switch owner I'd rather not spend on a long dead handheld for the sake of a single game made for it now. And that's why I'd like to see it remade or remastered for the Switch (since we all know the 3ds is also a dying platform).
God I wish this game had a physical copy. I'm going to have to hold off for a few.mo this just in case someone announces a version, just in case. But damn this game looks so good
@Itzdmo Did any of my comments come off as supporting dlc characters? Because if you did read them, you can clearly see I hate dlc pay walls or preorder restrictions.
@Medic_alert well let's agree to disagree regarding holding off on characters that are actually on the disk, and charging for them. And I'm more than aware of how expensive and risky games have become, I still don't think dlc exclusivity is a good practice. I can understand having a character dlc launch later on that needed more coding or whatever but holding off a game franchise staple like Shang Tsung, playable in almost every MK title after 2, is just greedy.
@Medic_alert your comment makes no sense in relation to mine. I mentioned a full roster of characters and not having to pay to unlock characters already present in the game at launch, as opposed to having budgets or whatever.
I guess you think it's totally justified to have to pay for stuff already in the game but hidden behind preorders or dlc vouchers via retailer exclusivity?
@subpopz sorry but Smash adding NEW characters at later dates in the year is nothing like having characters already in the game code being hidden behind a pay wall.
Remember when mortal kombat titles had all of their fighters IN GAME without needing to pay for them? Anyone also remember the amazing MK Trilogy & how there were a gazillion fighters in the game?
I'm still going to buy the game; I don't mind digital download titles (they are actually cheaper where I am as compared to the import taxes of physical copies) but this practice of releasing physical boxes with just a piece of paper inside seems ridiculous.
Metroid Prime Trilogy is pretty much confirmed at this point, we just need Nintendo to confirm it officially, but the real question is when? Why wait all the way until E3 when you can make mad money now?
A link to the past makes me think it's the start of a Snes classics series for the Switch as digital downloads and they will probably release them as vouchers as well. Maybe. I mean they had a similar release strategy during the Wii so it sorta makes sense
I would love for Nintendo to update Metroid Prime Hunters for the Switch (since the 3ds is technically dead) with HD graphics and better controls. Maybe include it in the Prime Trilogy as a bonus or something.
Obviously it's just a straight port of the original build of the PS4 remaster... Which also had some slowdown in some parts of the game as I recall. Yay
@RandomLeo00 man thanks a bunch! Honestly it sounds like a lot of work for a single frame, I assumed you just beat a boss somewhere down the line and you get a frame but the randomness of blueprints sounds off-putting. I'll give it a go (I'm still in the beginning) with your advice tho!
Hey Nintendolife, how come you guys haven't reported on Remothered: Tormented Fathers being announced for the Switch?
I got the announcement email last night so...take that tip for free I guess
This announcement basically won the whole showcase. Legend of Zelda themed indie game with access to actual Zelda assets. Nintendo really DOES love indies now!
Everyone seems to forget that the "this is the future of gaming" tag line was also applied to the Ouya, N-Gage, Atari Jaguar, and the legendary Gizmondo. We all know how well they were received. Also, let's not forget 75% of the world barely has fibre optic internet, let alone stable internet connections without data caps. Yeah, It's safe to say Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft have nothing to worry about for now.
I thought it was confirmed by the devs that it's going to release on all platforms (though I don't think that includes 3ds). That said, if they have a playable demo for the event, I hope that means a release is coming soon - and a playable demo to tide us over soon?
You know I've been waiting to try this game for some reason (also because I couldn't find a physical copy anywhere) and this gives me another reason to give it a go.
@retro_player_22 I totally agree about the Samus Returns and Link between worlds ports - but I'd also like to add Luigi's mansion 1+2 and the 3D Zelda games to your list. Hell give us the Metroid Prime Hunters HD port we deserve! The original had god-awful controls and really needs a remaster coating.
I don't get the drip-feed of Nes classics. It's not like they don't have HUNDREDS of them in their back library of the e-shop. And since they made their millions off the Wii/WiiU/3ds eshop, you'd think they could just drop us a couple more per month. Hell, I don't even know why they haven't started us off with other consoles yet, it's not like they need to invest that much into the software side (hidden Snes emulation code and all in the Switch)
@Balladeer I'd actually take Data-designs games over Kemco's titles. At least they had SOME variation. Kemco's games look like they just took a clone of their first game and replaced some of the assets and called it a day.
Kemco? No Thanks. I advise anyone who is a non-casual RPG player to steer clear of their dreadful rpg-maker conversions. Not only do they have god-awful dialogue, but even the battle systems feel like something out of the early dragon quest titles, and not in a good way.
Wait a minute - Isn't this the 3rd Zelda game coming out on the Switch? Didn't we also get Triforce Heroes? I mean I know it's not technically a Zelda game, but it is a Zelda themed game, and this game is a remake so...
Anyways I love the classic, can't wait to play this remake soon!
@Kal_ Indie? This game was developed by Ninja Theory who have developed AAA Titles for Sony and Capcom. Maybe do some research before trying to act all edgy?

Re: 2017 Game Boy Platformer Tobu Tobu Girl Is Aiming For A Deluxe Game Boy Color Re-Release
@Trajan and yet I would like to pay these devs to play their game on a modern handheld like Switch - weird and totally unheard of concept huh?
Re: 2017 Game Boy Platformer Tobu Tobu Girl Is Aiming For A Deluxe Game Boy Color Re-Release
@YANDMAN yeah because everyone on earth has a working game boy color, and the limited run on a dead handheld totally makes sense for maximum profits?
Re: 2017 Game Boy Platformer Tobu Tobu Girl Is Aiming For A Deluxe Game Boy Color Re-Release
Looks like a wasted opportunity to release it on modern consoles... Or rather the Switch

Re: Kid Icarus And StarTropics Join The Switch Online NES Library This Month
I don't get the drip-feed of Nes classics.
It's not like they don't have HUNDREDS of them in their back library of the e-shop.
And since they made their millions off the Wii/WiiU/3ds eshop, you'd think they could just drop us a couple more per month.
Hell, I don't even know why they haven't started us off with other consoles yet, it's not like they need to invest that much into the software side (hidden Snes emulation code and all in the Switch)
Re: Fantasy RPG Bonds Of The Skies Is Flying Onto Nintendo Switch
@Balladeer I'd actually take Data-designs games over Kemco's titles. At least they had SOME variation. Kemco's games look like they just took a clone of their first game and replaced some of the assets and called it a day.
Re: Fantasy RPG Bonds Of The Skies Is Flying Onto Nintendo Switch
Kemco? No Thanks. I advise anyone who is a non-casual RPG player to steer clear of their dreadful rpg-maker conversions.
Not only do they have god-awful dialogue, but even the battle systems feel like something out of the early dragon quest titles, and not in a good way.
