how has Sonic had three movies in the time it took them to make a single movie here?

its a consistent issue with Pokemon. Clearly, Nintendo does not care

I have so much to play already. And also the FF Theaterrythm demo

that doll is horrifying

@Jokerwolf what's easier?

@Shadowkiller97 Huh? I just bought a Gamecube game the other day. What are you high on that you can't go buy a physical copy of an old out of print game? Or do you seriously think I am only talking about "new" unopened copies as if used games simply disappear after use?

A physical game has infinite uses and can be resold at any time without the need for a license. If I lose my 3DS card and cannot redownload a digital game,. then there is no way to recover it because it was tied to my account. You cannot rebuy an out of print digital game.

Its not even comparable and I don't understand why you're trying to argue otherwise. Go buy a delisted digital copy of a game 20 years from now and let me know how that goes for you. Because according to you, it'll be exactly as easy as just buying an old physical copy from ebay

are they going to run around with guns, like Spider Man and Batman do?

If so, this is just a wet fart

@Shadowkiller97 If I lose a physical copy, I can buy a new one. If we all move to digital and physical goes away, there is no buying another copy of a game. If I lose my SD card, or it goes bad, or the game is on the internal HDD of the console and the hardware goes bad, guess what? No playing that owned game ever again. Can't just buy a new SD card with the same games and content tied to my account again.

I have a copy of Fire Emblem Fates with all three routes. Digitally, the third route is extra DLC that can only be purchased. If Nintendo hadn't sold a special edition with the DLC on the card, no new player ever again would be able to play the full game. And if I owned the DLC and lost my SD card without the ability to redownload content, I also would not be able to play it ever again.

A company should be legally required to always provide access to purchased content, period. If they are the gatekeeper. Now, if it is sold without DRM and can be easily stored/backed up locally, I have no problem. I could source another copy of a game I bought digitally in a legal method.

...so can we get this on Switch?

@Shadowkiller97 because the ability to download will also eventually disappear. This was on top of Sony cutting access to the PS3 and Vita PS Stores as well. The Wii eshop help page explicitly says that downloading owned content is not guaranteed in the future (https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/27560/~/wii-shop-channel-discontinuation)

Physical games can be stored and saved, or even repaired. Digital games have no consumer protection. Corporations can steal them back at any time for any reason. And if Sony and Nintendo won't honor past purchases, I have no faith in the digital ecosystem.

can't wait. I used button controls on 3DS too, so the lack of touch doesn't bother me

I liked them, but I am no longer buying digital copies of 1st party Nintendo games. Not after they delisted the Wii U and 3DS eshops. I simply no longer trust Nintendo to maintain access to my purchased content long-term

I wanted Subspace back so badly in Ultimate. I adored this mode and really miss it

After Fire Emblem, Advance Wars is the only 1st party game I am excited for. I hope it actually releases.

I'm not a big Zelda fan. I'll play the new one; BOTW was fun if a bit uninspired. Maybe this time the open world will be more compelling.

Here's hoping for Pokemon DLC, either for Arceus or S/V

Otherwise, some Metroid would be great. GBA games on NSO? I can dream of Golden Sun, right?

Not sure what else Nintendo has that I would be excited for. But its certainly not the 25th Kirby game released in 3 years, and Mario platformers don't do much for me.

a bit of Marvel or Star Wars content would be kinda great. Not much; but let me have some decorations or a lightsaber or something

man, i was hoping for Pokemon Stadium.

Disappointed

do remakes get this codename? Like FE Echoes?

@Electrichead64 because online services, game sales, and stuff like trophies/achievements still wouldn't be on a Nintendo platform

the only 1st party game I am interested in this year, that we know about. I don't care about Kirby and I'm meh on Zelda. Now, if we got Advance Wars, I'd have something else to be pumped for

I only care about finishing my Smash Bros collection at this point. Just need Pyra and Sora to be done with it.

No other games I care about seem to get Amiibo. I'd get new Fire Emblem ones pretty quickly, but nope

The only reason I play most games on Switch, even when they run worse, is because it is portable. If Nintendo does not make another portable, then why would I ever choose to play non-1st party games on the platform? It would go back to a Wii U situation, where I'd always play all 3rd party releases on PS/Xbox and only turn on the Nintendo console 2 or 3 times a year for 1st party releases.

I cannot imagine Nintendo would be that short sighted. I can't be the only one like that

Fire Emblem and P3/4. Because what is time?

lazy overpaid CEOs seem to not understand the concept of crap rolling up hill. Those at the top have the greatest responsibility. That is the entire point.

I really dont care about Kazuya. But just like Steve, I will get him to have the full Smash collection.

Bring on Sora now!

this sounds exactly what I want

with Persona and Fire Emblem, I need nothing else

...the tire company?

Tactics and the 13 trilogy should be ported

why does Nintendo do this? What's so hard about dubbing a video about a game launching globally?

these prices are mostly jokes. Retail is far cheaper

Nothing, but I seriously don't need more for my pile of shame.

Persona 3 and 4 then Fire Emblem are going to annihilate my ability to play anything else

I don't understand how we live in a world where not only do I need to choose between playing Persona 4 and 3 on the same day, but I have to choose whether to play one of those OR a new Fire Emblem the day after.

UGH

making something exclusive to Apple is such a stupid decision.

I'm not going to go buy a second phone. Why in the world would I ever do that? Its not like just buying another console for exclusives

What?

Switch had a fantastic 2022. I have such a back log from the year that its ridiculous. And it was certainly way better than what Xbox and PS offered

its clear that Xbox would still sell CoD for $70 on other platforms, while adding it to Game Pass subscribers. That offers them an easy way to make a buck

And I despise Activision. They are harmful to the industry and offer no creativity. All they do is pop out CoD reskins every year and refuse to use any old IPs or make something new

good. Kids should not be manipulated into micro-transactions

I really hope the new series is pretty different than what we've had.

Mine were:
FE Three Hopes
Triangle Strategy
Xenoblade 3

Just FF7 Crisis Core for me

well you sold me.

This is on Game Pass too, for anyone on the fence. I just prefer RPGs on a handheld

why do Minecraft and Xenoblade get two Amiibo each, but we couldn't get female Byleth or other alts?

Also, I really want Sora news. I can't wait for that one

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 and Triangle Strategy are my top 2. Pokemon S/V may eek its way into 3rd for me.

God of War, of course, is my GOTY overall though. And Marvel Midnight Suns is really working it way into my heart currently too

Most played definitely checks out:
FE Three Hopes
Triangle Strategy
Xenoblade 3

Really wish we had the gameplay stats on Switch that Nintendo had on 3DS

beat Pokemon, so I'm waiting for this to come in

why can't parents be responsible and parent their children instead?

Or sue for actual problems, like games having gambling mechanics?

@LikelySatan yeah thats crazy to me

Its a bad look to show off paid DLC before the game actually launches.

If the game isn't out, why isn't this included in it?

I really want Tetris Effect. But there is no way I am paying $20 for Tetris

why does Square keep releasing so many games on top of each other? It doesn't seem like a good sales tactics

I just want a real DQ Monsters game localized.

Will this scratch that itch?
