@Anti-Matter "I am that audience"
You're kinda proving my point that the audience is much smaller.

@Tarvaax "Even Super Metroid looks pretty meh as of late. I suppose ALttP aged well visually though."
Did you seriously just say this looks meh

but this "aged well visually"?

Then again this is coming from the guy who thinks polygons look better than pixels.

@2CATteam "Three years? Four years?"
Jesus christ, are you hoping for the Breath of the Wild of 2D Metroids or something? Not even most 3D games take that long.

th @Anti-Matter "Why don''t developers make games full of muscular men?"
That was pretty much every single western game in the 7th generation of consoles.

If you're asking why japan doesn't make more bara games, much smaller audience compared to waifu stuff.
Use your logic, buddy.

@Kalmaro "But it's just their opinion"
Nah it's pretty much a fact by now.

Of all the rumored games, we get this...?

@Ham-n-jam Monster Hunter Portable World is pretty much guaranteed, tbh.

@Ham-n-jam Monster Hunter games don't sell very well on home consoles.
Which is why monster hunter world is such a puzzling decision to me...

@Kalmaro Has anyone ever told you you're a gigantic prude?

Neat. I'm glad the rest of europe doesn''t suck in terms of taste unlike the UK.

I don't care about any of these besides an activity log.
I have a PC.

@Anti-Matter ...And?

>3DS
woah is it 2016

You know if they really wanted to promote their upcoming live action movie, releasing it on a dead console isn't the best way to do so.

@Indielink "I don't expect to be given things for free"
I already paid 60 nibelsnarfing dollars for a barebones game. It's not free.

@Indielink Yeah because you need to pay for the balloon world mode in mario odyssey and the three costumes.

@nitrolink Hey, saving time by reusing an engine to focus on story and gameplay seems like a good compromise to me.

The hide and seek seemed more interesting at first, kind of dislike that there's a radar.
That said WOOOAH THAT KNIGHT ARMOR LOOKS SO FRICKING COOL OH MAH GAH

@Trikeboy They really want to revive the balloon trippin' franchise but realistically can't.

@Meowpheel I don't think the audience for this game cared much about that honestly.

And you have to pay for those two.

Wow

Wow two fighters.

Wow.

Impressive.

@subpopz Metroids are asexual, they reproduce asexually.

But seriously this looks like garbage, gimme king of fighters (insertnumberofthecurrentgamehere).
It looks like poo visually so it's not like the switch can't run it.

You Hurt The Waifu, You Get The Naifu.

@Anti-Matter Just only.

The reception to Tropical Freeze has been A LOT MORE positive as of late, naming it one of the best platformers of all time. I'm sure it'll sell a lot better on the switch.

@JH64 Great news.

This isn't even that hard, guys.

Wow, pretty much every game featured here looks interesting to me. Mario Tennis, Ys and Dark Souls (which I never got to play), mostly.

The potential announcements are cool and all but I feel like nintendo is shooting themselves in the foot by making fans SO excited for this upcoming direct.

The IP has no place on an actual console like the Switch. The second game kind of flopped on the 3DS compared to the DS games, mostly because casuals left the market, so they should migrate it to mobile phones.

@LightBeam
>He
>Implying Metroid is a boy

@Darlinfan Reading is for nerds, white boi.

SNK should stop releasing these games and make some new ones for once.

Speedrunning is the kind of thing that is super cool to hear about but actually watching is effing boring.

@Nincompoop
>3DS
ahahahahahaha

Hopefully the sequel is more of a Monster Hunter clone now that the series left nintendo (although that'll probably change when Capcom realize japan doesn't want monhun on home consoles...again).

@Tasuki "waah mods are mean"
Nice outrage, but they've never posted roms in an official article. Nintendo would sue them.
The only thing they ever post is PATCHES. Read above.

@Zelda_Geek This is not a fan game, big boy. It's just a patch you apply to the official game.
To even play this you need to dumb the rom from your GB cartridge.

@Fazermint I haven't played mario land 1 since I was a babby so maybe the game is poop now, but I still remember thee overworld theme quite clearly. It's the first piece of music I think about whenever I hear "mario".

@cowntsikin It doesn't have anything in common with the original zelda besides vague gameplay mechanics, though.

@MarcelRguez "The soundtrack is fantastic though, not sure what you're on about on that."
I entered like five different worlds (the open world thing I like, too bad the levels you have access to are garbo) and none of them had particularly good or memorable music. And most of them repeated the same one.
There wasn't a single song as memorable as Land 1's overworld theme.

"It doesn't feel like a Mario game, it feels like a dark fantasy platformer starring Mario."
A particularly mediocre one at that.

@masterLEON I didn't need nor care about your detailed explanation of how the port was made, man. I simply said there's no demand for this poo, therefore there was no reason Nintendo needed to make it.
No demand = No money. These ports aren't passion projects.

So I went ahead and played the game for a bit. I've never actually played Land 2, mind you.

Is the level design and music supposed to be so terrible? The controls and jumping seem incredibly stiffy too, I'd blame this on the game but I think it's just a hardware limitation, since Kirby's Dream Land 2 had the same problem (it's why I quit playing that, too).
The Game Boy games haven't aged exceptionally well. The few ones that are still good are the Zelda games, I suppose (and metal gear but that's GBC).

@masterLEON "Nintendo asked for it, obviously."
Yeah that's not how it works, genius.

who the hell asked for this

"hey guys I know you wanted the virtual console but here's a crappy port of mario bros optimized for maximum penny eating"

@WhistleFish It's just a dumb nickname. My point is that it isn't very good.

@Bliquid lmao

@Bliquid The first one isn't even a sony game. Also.
>Horizon zero awards
>Good

N64 Today sounds like the kind of website that would suffer from horrible news droughts.

@OorWullie " the fact Sony were involved with it gave me confidence it was going to turn out well."
yeah like knack

that was such a masterpiece

A combination of BotW and Twilight Princess. Great interactive open world with great story and amazing dungeons.
