If streaming technology was there, the Switch could theoretically play all games no matter what system they're on. Like it or not, it's the future. I hope they figure it out from a business and technological perspective for our sake.
As the Switch continues to age, the 3rd party ports remind me more and more of the ones that plagued the Wii, especially toward the end of its lifecycle. I hope Nintendo does not repeat the same mistakes it made then.
A lot of hype, but we know very little how strategic this game will be. Don't get too excited yet everyone. It could simply be a game of who has the best cards.
It would be very Sakurai to reveal TWO characters tomorrow. One will be a Nintendo fighter and the other a 3rd party character. Maybe the Nintendo fighter will be Miyamoto...
Just for clarification, when you say "as a story-driven adventure title, though, this one is absolutely worth a punt" — do you mean it's not worthy of playing? Reading the way this sentence is structured and the previous sentences and in the conclusion leads me to believe you're trying to say it deserves a play through.
There will actually be two fighters. It will catch everyone off guard and be a pleasant surprise. The first one will be incredible and the second will be the cherry on top. You heard it hear first.

Re: Star Wars: Hunters Shows The Force In Flashy New Trailer
Looks like an Overwatch knock off that is conspicuously lacking real Star Wars characters. I suppose those will be held behind a paywall. Pass.

@Jey887 I figured it was a UK phrase difference, thanks. In America we use "punt" in the opposite way thanks to our US football roots.
