EA could’ve made switch- specific versions of Madden, NHL or other sports games but they chose not to. They could’ve brought The Sims to the Switch as well, but nope. Both efforts would’ve resulted in more revenue, but I guess they either hate money or were just downright lazy.
I really didn’t expect any classic Poke games to be added to NSO. Regardless of the fact that we are paying for these subscriptions, it feels like Nintendo feels like they are “giving away” the games they provide to subscribers. But that said, why not just make the, available for purchase?
I still tend to carry my 3DS when I’m out and about but rarely get any hits on StreetPass unless I’m at PAXEast or at a retro show. At those times, I can still rack up 40 or 50 pretty quickly
@theModestMouse Or maybe Red Deer is providing the LGBTQ+ community ( a community of which a rather large percentage are gamers ) with characters that they can identify with. The game is rated T. If a parent is that concerned about their children’s gaming experience, it really doesn’t take a lot of effort to setup parental controls and monitor what their kids are playing.
I’m convinced that they had one planned but cancelled it when there was all the nearly constant guessing as to when it would be. They went ahead with the “partners showcase” in order to keep all those developing happy.
So Squeenix is releasing DQ X Offline. Hooray! But so far it’s only been announced as available for the people who could already play DQ X Online? WTF?
@msvt, I don't think so. Basketball Club Story is from Kairosoft who has put out multiple simulation games on the Switch and mobile platforms. I've played a few and they're more like business sims than anything else. Golf Story and the still missing Sports Story is from Sidebar Games, which hasn't been active on Twitter in over six months.
How did I not know that ROTK was releasing on the Switch? But that price? Ugh... I'm planning on getting Mario 3D but I will keep a close watch for sales on ROTK!
@LilMuku, nothing against those who truly enjoy the game. My experience, through my son's friends and acquaintances, has seen some kids literally pour hundreds of dollars into this game, buying all sorts of skins and other in-game purchases. I've also heard of instances where kids are bullying one another over how much swag they've accumulated.

Re: Nintendo and Lego Are Collaborating On A New Game Boy Set
With so little of it shown, I have to wonder if this will be playable or a “classic” version?
Re: Nintendo Download: 19th December (North America)
I’d buy Taxi Driver 2025 but there’s no option to play as Travis Bickle
Re: Switch Is Getting A New Star Trek Game For Christmas
Why not just port the TNG game from the SNES, which I still consider to be the best Star Trek videogame?
Re: Soapbox: Where The Heck Is Fallout 3 On Switch?
How about 1 and 2 as well?

Re: Talking Point: What Will Be Announced On Pokémon Day 2023?
Pokémon Conquest 2!
Re: Nintendo Direct Confirmed For Tomorrow, 8th February
My prediction:
On the plus side: new hardware announced!!!
On the minus side: it’s a Zelda themed OLED model of the existing Switch

Re: Review: A Plague Tale: Requiem - Cloud Version - Plagued By More Than The Typical Cloud Caveats
I will never buy a cloud version of any game. Waste of money!
Re: Square Enix's Lineup For Tokyo Game Show 2022 - Final Fantasy, Harvestella & More
I’m going to go out on a limb and say that DQ X Offline will never be ported to the west…

I’m convinced that they had one planned but cancelled it when there was all the nearly constant guessing as to when it would be. They went ahead with the “partners showcase” in order to keep all those developing happy.
They’ll be back. Likely by the end of August.
Re: Backlog Club: Return Of The Obra Dinn - It All Comes Down To Socks In The End
Fine, you’ve convinced me. This game has been in my backlog for ages. I resolve to play it this weekend. Dammit!
Re: Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Special Edition Will Be Made Available Again At A Later Date (US)
I ran into the “limit reached” page and even though the “Pre-Order” button appeared to be active, pressing it did nothing.
What a total ***** show
Re: Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes "Undergoing A Technical Investigation" For Switch
Whether they can make it work on switch or wait until it’s successor, just don’t put it on the freaking cloud!!!
Re: Get Your Funky Kong On With This Donkey Kong Country Ska Album
@OldManHermit going out on a limb here but maybe because you’re a hermit?
Re: Pokémon GO Is Getting A Pokémon Trading Card Game Expansion
So they’re going to make the cards even more impossible to find in stores?
Re: MultiVersus From Warner Bros Is A Free-To-Play Platform Fighter, Skipping Switch
Thanks to Warner Bros for not subjecting Switch owners to this piece of crap.
Re: Review: Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition - Three Classics In One Shocking Package
It’s silly to blame anybody but Rockstar for these issues. Performance on PC is do bad that they’ve pulled it from their online store
Re: Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings Of Ruin Passes One Million Sales
Love this game! I hope that this series continues!
Re: Level-5 Amps Up Promotion For Mech RPG Megaton Musashi, On Switch This November
Very disappointed to hear this. I've been hoping that some other company will make a localization and distribution deal with Level-5.
Sigh.
Re: Wish Kingdom Hearts Was Native On Switch? A True Port Is Still "Undecided"
I will buy a download or cart version on Day 1. I will never buy a cloud version.
Re: Three Kingdom Hearts Games Are Coming To Switch, But They're All Cloud Versions
Ugh. I've already got these games for PS4 but would have bought actual ports for Switch. Cloud gaming is lazy ass bullcr@p.
Re: AAA Clock Is Why We Don't Deserve Nice Things On Switch
But now we may finally see Flavor Flav with a Switch around his neck?
Re: AAA Clock Is Why We Don't Deserve Nice Things On Switch
I find this app rather alarming...

Re: Random: An Eager 3DS StreetPass Fan Spent A Day In New York, Got Zero Hits
@xshinox, I would guess yes. I brought my 3ds to PAX East in early 2020 and got over 100
Re: Agatha Christie - Hercule Poirot: The First Cases Arrives On Switch This Fall
Maybe you’re hoping for a Poirot-Pokemon mashup game? Gotta question ‘em all!
Re: Nintendo Download: 8th July (North America)
I usually start by ignoring any game whose name is written in ALL CAPS
Re: Poll: How Hyped Are You For Nintendo's E3 Direct?
I'm mildly hyped. This E3 has mostly been a disappointment all around. I will be thrilled if Nintendo is the exception to this.

"Calculator has an appealing modern and practical design, sure to be popular with all students and engineers."
No sir, I'm not playing games on my Switch when I should be designing this new bridge. I'm using this nifty Calculator!
Re: Dragon Quest 35th Anniversary Stream Will Reveal New Game Information
I'd love an updated Dragon Quest Monsters on Switch
Re: Dragon Quest 35th Anniversary Stream Will Reveal New Game Information
@Magician: you'd think this would be a slam dunk since translation exist as both I and II were released on PS4 in the west.
Re: Konami España Hints At More Switch News To Come
Suikoden. Any edition but a I + 2 version would be spectacular.
Re: Feature: 10 Pokémon Spin-Offs You May Have Forgotten About

Re: Feature: Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered Developer On "Restoring And Finishing An Old Painting"
I'd love to get an SSX game. A good winter sports game is sadly lacking on Switch

Glad I pre-ordered the Super Deluxe version of Slots of the Season! I can’t get enough slots!!!

Re: A Limited Edition Fortnite Nintendo Switch Bundle Has Been Announced For Europe
I'm very glad my son hates Fortnite.
I do like those Joy-Con colors though...
