I'd love to see either SteamWorld Dig 3 or Heist 2.

I think it's kind of cute, but 'meh' at the same time.

Yes please I'd gladly purchase my favourite GBA titles. As for SNES, well I have my new 2DS XL for that.

I'd much rather an a la carte system than a Netflix-type system (i.e. owning games rather than subscribing to a service that lets me temporarily play/stream them).

Those cut Divine Beasts look awesome! I kind of wish the crab and the whale made it in especially since the southern regions are lacking a bit.

20% is pretty good. Amazon Prime Canada has been at 10% only for the past year. Prime Canada will have zero discount when the new change hits in Canada (nothing replacing the discount).

And pre-orders are terrible. I had pre-ordered Kirby Star Allies two months in advance only to be told on the release date that I would be getting it a month later. I said, but I have Prime. And they said it only guaranties that I get it two days after it ships. Well, that's one service I won't be renewing.

I absolutely loved Child of Light. I'll gladly double dip, but only if this is a physical release.

@SomeWriter13 You and me both. It's like when people were complaining so much about getting bundles of channels from cable companies when they just wanted to watch a few of them. Then came along Netflix. It's a classic example of be careful what you wish for. Now we are on the verge of being flooded by Netflix clones, and if Ubisoft is to be believed this could be coming to video games in a future near you.

@SomeWriter13 Your comment got me thinking of some kind of Netflix service for games, but where each publisher has their own service and charges 100$ or so per month. Just look at what's happening now with streaming for shows and movies, and the number of services that exist: Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, and more. Plus Disney and DC have theirs coming. Now imagine that with video game publishers. It would be a nightmare.

Is Ubisoft going to provide high speed internet across the world to make this happen?

HA! This is hilarious. As if the whole gaming market will turn to digital by 2022. I for one don't see myself going 100% digital if I keep getting offered the physical copies as an alternative. I know I'm not alone in thinking like this and the big 3 know this.

I pre-ordered it yesterday. Unfortunately Amazon no longer has the Nintendo adapter available (even the new ones that were releasing for Smash Ultimate). So I ordered the Mayflash one after hearing very good things about and watching a video to make sure that it works for Switch.

Nintendo's Smash and Fire Emblem presentations were theatrical and exciting. I loved that part. But the lack of anything else substantial has left me a little disappointed. No news on Metroid Prime 4 or Yoshi, no major announcements or reveals for new entries of beloved franchises like Wario, Star Fox or Animal Crossing. I was kind of hoping for remasters of old Fire Emblem games (a la Echoes Shadows of Valentia) or maybe a Zelda Skyward Sword remaster/port or even some Super Mario Odyssey DLC.

I really liked Ubisoft's and Bethesda's presentations and I'm looking forward to Assassin's Creed Odyssey (the only game in the franchise that I'm interested in to date), Babylon's Fall and Starfield (even though the last two are not coming out soon).

@rjejr I was really hoping for a Zelda Skyward Sword remaster

This was by very far my least favourite Layton game. No cohesive plot, forgettable characters, uninspired puzzles, and a nonsensical twist ending that came out of left field. I would be interested in a sequel however, if the mystery of Professor Layton's whereabouts and Sherl's story are addressed.

I miss Club Nintendo.

I was planning on buying SteamWorld: Heist for the 3DS with my eshop gift card that I'm getting for Christmas. I'm glad that I held off this long; I'll be getting it for the Switch.

They will announce loot boxes for Fe

But seriously, I hope they will talk about the upcoming Yoshi and Kirby Switch games and hopefully - finally - unveil the virtual console for the Switch.

I haven't been able to find an SNES Classic, but I would purchase one at regular price for sure.

I wouldn't mind new entries for Wario Land, Advance Wars or Kid Icarus. And I'm still waiting for a game starring Waluigi where the goal would be to cheat to win

Honestly, I just can't wait for the virtual console. Hopefully it will go from NES to GameCube.

@geordie

Mmmm I'll check those out. Right now, I'm pretty busy with The Witcher 3 (which I think is a bit overrated, but pretty good) and Pokemon Sun (which is not one of my favourites in the series I must admit, at least so far). Basically, I'm killing time until Zelda Breath of the Wild and Mass Effect Andromeda

@crimsontadpoles

I pretty much did the same thing. I bought a PS4 when they were on sales this past holiday season (for Mass Effect: Andromeda basically). All the big games on Switch are also out on the Wii U, so no rush and why bother, right?

I'm waiting until the holiday season of 2017 to buy one. I'll get Super Mario Odyssey and maybe Fire Emblem Warriors if it's out by then. I'm not sure about accessories yet.
And I'm getting Zelda: Breath of the Wild on Wii U the day it comes out.

@BranJ0

Fire Emblem 7 is my favourite one (and one of my all time favourite games), but maybe because it was the first one that I played. The gameplay is not as good as the modern 3DS games (no branching promotion, item management is a bit tedious, supports are more limited, no map, no pair up), but the level design, story, music, and overall presentation and feel are absolutely excellent. I'm sure that you'll love it
I'd have to say that Awakening is my second favourite.
I haven't really played Radiant Dawn actually. I started it, thought it was too hard and then sold it. Far forward to last year and I regretted it so much that I bought on ebay for a semi-outrageous price. I still haven't had the time to play it though! But with the Zelda Breath of the Wild delay, I just might.

@BranJ0

I'm glad that you like my perspective about Awakening I hope that you really enjoy that next playthrough of yours (of course you will )

There is actually nothing to spoil about why it drags in Revelations; most of the second half is filler and so it drags. It's not even fun filler (except for some of the bosses, those were kind of fun). There just isn't enough story to carry it across 28 chapters. The first half is very interesting though, that's all I'll say. And the climax of the first half is worth it alone (Chapters 16-17). Very challenging, satisfying (both gameplay-wise and emotionally). I know that it's not exactly halfway in terms of chapter numbers, but story-wise, it is. Anyway, that's a long way of saying, yes there is filler, but it's mostly worth it

@BranJ0

Haha thanks Odin is my favourite character in Fates.

I know exactly what you mean about the story in Conquest. I was waiting for some difficult moral decisions, but that never really happened. Still fairly entertaining though! Not to spoil anything, but I thought that Revelations didn't add that much. Definitely play it though; it is very fun just the same. The story drags a lot more though, especially the second half. Conquest was my favourite path

I actually liked the Valm arc in Awakening even if it felt like it was pointless. It was like a bait and switch when the real enemy got revealed, so I liked that. When the 3rd arc came rolling out, it felt like the heroes were caught off guard and were facing a real challenge in Grima/Validar.

@BranJ0

Oh, I agree with almost everything you said. And I don't think that you are bashing Awakening

In fact, one of the things that I really like about Fates is the changes brought to the pair up mechanic. And I do love the map designs a lot more (for Conquest at least). It's just that I found some to be super difficult and it got my a bit frustrated once or twice. But it was super satisfying to actually win a map and not have anybody die (actually, I let one character die: Izana).

I'm not entirely sure why I like Awakening more than Fates, but I think I just like to story and characters more. I find the story makes more sense and it doesn't drag on and on like Fates (even though it has its own plot holes). It's probably very personal though. And again, I love Fates too, I just like Awakening more. And yeah, the music is fantastic in both games!

@Mogster

Very well said. I have to same criticisms in regards to Fire Emblem Fates. The story is just not that great and not much happens. I did enjoy Conquest the most because it was so challenging, but it was borderline frustrating on some maps. I still loved the game, but Awakening is superior in almost every way if you ask me (maybe one area it is lacking is map design and I think that I like the music in Fates just a tad more).

So far no reason for me to get a Switch in 2017. All of the games that I'm interested in, I have already for the Wii U (except for the 3D Mario, but I don't mind waiting for that one, and Zelda of course, but I was already planning on getting it for the Wii U).

I will probably get it if it comes out in North America since I have never played it, but I always thought that it looked fun.

Man, I just bought Animal Crossing: New Leaf like a month ago. Oh well.

I might get Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon. Very disappointed by the lineup though. I thought that we'd get Star Fox 64 3D and Kid Icarus: Uprising. I missed out on those games and they are super hard to find now.

The more information is revealed about Lady Layton, the more excited about it I get.

@JaxonH
Well, let's hope. We won't know anything for sure until they announce it officially. I must say that I am still excited about the NX and the launch lineup.

I don't like these designs at all, from both an aesthetic and comfort point of vue. The NX would need a killer lineup of games for me to buy it with a controller that's just a tablet with detachable parts.

I hope this gets released in NA too. I haven't bought Fast Racing Neo yet and I'll hold out a bit longer in case.

The more I hear about this game, the more I want to play it (and I've never played either of the Banjo games). I hope that there will be a physical release, but even if there isn't, I'll consider buying it.

I'm not sure if I read the article correctly, but I really don't like the idea of a fully touch screen based controller (even with the add-on). At least the Wii U gamepad has buttons and analogs sticks (two!) without the need for an add-on.

I just hope that all of the rumours and speculation based on patents turns out to be wrong and that Nintendo really surprises us with a brilliant, ergonomic, and fun design.

I think that this game looks fun and it's definitely very pretty. I've never played a Paper Mario game and wouldn't mind making this one my first. That being said, my backlog of games is huge, so I think I'll pass.

I think this is awesome. This will probably not get a physical release, but I think that I will still purchase it nonetheless since I was a big fan of Hotel Dusk.

I really enjoyed how the Zelda HD remakes on the Wii U have handled the touch and hope that Breath of the Wild will end up doing something similar. This was only the demo version, so things can change.

Scale the Temple of Time shirtless.
