I'm finishing Skyward Sword HD on Switch and I just started Final Fantasy 7 Remake on PS4.

I own all Final Fantasy games on Switch including spinoffs like Chocobo Mystery Dungeon and World of Final Fantasy. I'm not sure what else I am supposed to do to show that I want more Final Fantasy games on Switch. I am definitely not going to purchase this collection on mobile or PC in hopes for a Switch version though.

It's so weird to me that whenever I read discussions about Nintendo's best console, the SNES is usually the most beloved one. Yet whenever Nintendo adds new SNES games to the NSO people complain about how bad these games are.
I personally am fine with them adding these lesser known/popular games to the service. Mario Picross was a real hidden gem for me lastg year. People should try to be a bit more open-minded.

@miitomobenji You can get those items with the free 2 play currency aswell though. I'd say the bigger issue long term is the fact that you can upgrade these items for better stats and upgrading them is quite expensive so it will take a while to do so. So anyone jumping in like half a year from now will have a significant statistical disadvantage versus players who played a while already.

I spend roughly 6 hours on it today and it is actually alright. I can see myself playing a match of it every now and then. I may be biased though because I got that sweet Talonflame skin today due to good RNG. Seriously though, I expected it to be another free to play Pokemon game like Cafe Mix and Quest that I play once and then immediately delete again but it's actually decent.

@mariomaster96 lmao

Eh, I think both have their places though I really don't see why someone suddenly loses interest in their Switch. I still love mine

@Snatcher Well, by playing you are increasing the player count and players are more likely to purchase items in an active game so you indirectly support them. That said, I wish people had such a strong moral compass in the real life as they have for video games ...

I always enjoy these recreations

I'm playing Skyward Sword HD and Monster Hunter Stories 2 on Switch and Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix on PS4

I feel like the white clashes too hard with the red and black.
My wired PowerA Mario controller was also my first controller that had a drifting issue and the controller itself felt too light in the hand. I'd rather spend some extra money on a Pro Controller than a PowerA controller.

I am 100% convinced that companies try to get people to double dip for their games by delaying the games on Switch or announcing the Switch version way past the game's initial launch. A very recent example is Dragonball Z Kakarot which comes to Switch 2 years after it launched on all other platforms. Initially I fell for this tactic and double dipped quite often but I have changed my stance on 3rd party games. If I think a game is a fit for the Switch but hasn't been announced for it yet I just don't buy it at all until a Switch version is announced. If the Switch version is later announced and it ends up being a bad port I can always buy it on PC or PS4 where it's probably on sale already anyway.

400 bucks seem like a steal at first glance but you really should go with the more expensive options since 64 GB are basically useless for PC gaming. And then you are moving in a price range well beyond the Switch's price. The dock has to be bought extra aswell and you only have 1 non-detachable controller compared to the 2 JoyCons that can serve as 2 controllers in a lot of games. I would like to be excited about this but I'm not really feeling it and I absolutely hate the button layout aswell.

Something else: Griftlands
It's such a great game. It feels like it's the Hades equivalent of the deckbuilding roguelike games.

@AndyC_1101 This article is not written by Kate but by Kerry Brunskill. Please don't accuse others of skimming through the article if you did not even read the author's name ...

Lots of heated discussions already going on I see but here I am being glad that the author of this article beat Super Metroid in less than 10 hours. Otherwise she wouldn't have learned Samus is female and she would have had no right to exist

I just bought the Kingdom Hearts All in one package on PS4 so I will be playing some Kingdom Hearts 1 this weekend. On Switch I will play Kingdom Hearts Melody of Memory.

Good games are worth the full price, doesn't matter if they are 2D or 3D.

These guys are wizards. MHR on the Switch is a technical marvel. I'm so glad their efforts paid off with big sales numbers

I'm super hyped about this one but I have to say, they went completely overboard with the advertisment for this game. It feels like we got 1-2 trailers every week for the past few weeks. That's just a bit much imo

@Mr-Fuggles777 Are you trying to compare the act of attempting to escape the (probably) bad living conditions in their own country in order to get a better chance at life to someone breaking a NDA in order to get some internet points? That's a very weird comparison. These guys didn't break the NDA for some noble cause and depsite what some peple claim in the comments they are not the victims that get bullied by some rich company. But yeah, if there are laws that regulate the immigration to a country then those should be upheld. We don't have any walls in Germany though, well not anymore anyway

I also don't like the way you say "simply breaking a NDA". You don't "simply" break contracts. Contracts are a very important part of businesses and society in general. Of course, if someone hates the idea of working under NDA they are free to pursue a different career though they will find that NDA are present for the majority of jobs. They are in fact a big deal that you don't "simply" break.

I'm actually excited to finally have a traditional 3D Zelda game on the Switch

Serves them right and it's about time someone goes after leakers in general. People are so quick to dismiss these leaks because they have an agenda against GameFreak but breaking a NDA is breaking the law and it needs to have consequences if you want the legal system to work. You can't just make exceptions based on personal bias.

@Eel Nice one

Not as many as I thought I would but still a good chunk, like maybe a third or something. That's actually a pretty cool picture. Considering that Zagreus is feeling pretty good it has to be located in the Greek underworld aswell I suppose

My, I am sorry for my incredibly unconstructive comment earlier this evening. I am not sure what befell me back then and I was clearly not my usual self. Let me redeem myself by saying this is a lovely story, it almost sounds like a fairytale

Pre-Switch I didn't have a high opinion of NES games but I have bought a couple of collections now like the Mega Man and Castlevania games plus I played a couple of the NSO offerings and my opinion on NES games has improved a lot nowadays. I still wouldn't want to play them without the save state feature as their age definitely shows but there are a lot more NES games that I enjoy nowadays than I used to in the past.

I bought the Castlevania Collection during the last sale and am now at the final boss of the first game. I'm also revisiting Cadence of Hyrule and am playing some Griftlands.

I have a ton of games downloaded that I haven't touched in a while but I want to have the comfort of having them ready to play whenever I have the urge to play them

This is actually one of the tougher choices as both look good. I voted the NA/EU one but they are equally good

@Clyde_Radcliffe Well, we have Pokken Tournament which kind of is a Tekken game

I don't mind paying full price and I don't understand the thought process of 2D games having to cost less than 3D games.
I'll take a polished and fun 2D game with lots of replay value at full price over a 3D game that runs horrible on the Switch and stretches playtime with tedious and repetitive exploration in the third dimension at full price. In other words, there are good games in both, 2D and 3D.

Well, this is the first theme I cannot get at release because the latest firmware update won't let me update Tetris 99 ...

So far the 2nd year has just been a repeat of the first year and that's just not enough to keep me engaged anymore unfortunately.

I love Pokemon and I enjoy MOBA games on PC so I will definitely check it out

I'm a pretty big fan of Platinum Games and Hideki Kamiya (usually) but he needs to understand that the whole Bayonetta 3 situation has been kind of messy. They announce the game and then have nothing to show for years while they pump out multiple other games. That just doesn't look promising from the outside

I'm surprised to see so much negativity towards this game as I think it looks fantastic

I went in with no expectations and now my wallet will be drained from all the games showcased in the direct. The second half of 2021 is stacked with awesome games for the Switch. Though it was disappointing to not see any mention of the NSO service whatsoever. Hopefully they make another direct in late summer and do something with it.

Nice to see more "current" games making their way to the Switch. Between having a cloud version, a massively downgraded version or no version at all I will take the cloud version any day

I'm super thrilled about this. The first one is one of the best exclusives on the Switch

Neat, been looking forward to this one

This is really disappointing to hear. I was really looking forward to this collection but I guess I will hold off for now and hope for a performance patch down the line

That's what indie games are for and there are plenty of those available on Switch

"In any case, it's a Nintendo-published retail title that launches today, let us know if you plan to add it to your collection!"
Absolutely not!

Maybe. It's a decent local multiplayer game series but that's about it

I used to replay games all the time as a kid. That was mostly due the lack of money to purchase new games so I was limited to presents and had to tide myself over with those. Nowadays, I only replay games that I really enjoy like the Souls games. I never re-read books though. I don't see the point really.

I was able to snag it yesterday though it'll be interesting to see how Nintendo will handle this situation and if the people who got it for free will actually be able to keep it.

I'm currently playing through Mass Effect 1 in the Legendary Edition. I'm also playing some Monster Hunter Rise.

I actually had a Pink (Berry) one as a kid but I think the Yellow (Dandelion) one looks the best

Gosh, June and July are packed with games.

This is great. Ever since Octopath Traveler I wanted to see classic RPGs being remade in the same style. This gives me hopes for a Final Fantasy remake in the future.
