It shows how irrelevant Nintendo is to one of the largest publishers in the world.

Not saying they're irrelevant overall, but it's certainly worth noting.

@Joeynator3000 That "some reason" would be that the Switch can't run it.

@Dom I don't think gaga is blaming you (I know I'm not) since Nintendo just send out this list to everyone on the press list, but I just find it a little strange that Nintendo themselves left it on the list after Flying Tiger said it was coming next week for EU.

@gaga64 It's also delayed until next week in Europe, so why it's on there at all is beyond me

Shame that the EU release of Sly Spy was delayed to next week

Bummed that the EU release of Sly Spy got pushed to next week

@ALinkttPresent They don't need to be, as the NES/SNES patents are up. They're licensed by Capcom to use their IP though.

I'd rather just buy a boxed copy of the original game in question. MM2 is just under that price, MMX is just over it.

Zero Switch games for me this year. Unless Pokemon or Metroid launch this year. Maybe smash if it isn't a wiiu remaster + 4 new characters. Or new announcements.

@Mr_Pepperami Um, no? It came out on PC, PS4 and Xbox all on the same day

Bought a PCB of this a few weeks ago, will gladly buy it on Switch, it's sooooo good.

Shinies and IV/EV, the quickest way to sap fun out of Pokemon games

@Arcade_Tokyo Thanks for writing~

When I said dying out I meant here in Europe. It's all video poker and video slots here. I only know of 2 arcades here in Ireland, 1 is a barcade which has about 2 dozen old school legit cabs and the other used to be a huge arcade but now is 95% slots/poker and only a handful of decade+ old actual games stuck in a back corner

As a JAMMA cab owner, my love for original hardware shows. Sure I could get a MAME cab but original hardware is the authentic way to go.

As in the article, here in Europe they were all big, upright wooden affairs with my personal cab being from the 80s, way before they changed to the white, plastic deals that exist now. I love the customisation afforded to a legit cab. The swappable PCBs, the authentic experience and how individual you can make the parts.

I've got several different sticks with varying button/stick types/colours/manufacturer, some of which I made for specific games etc. Usually I try not to go overboard (not point having 4 different 6 button sticks for kick harness stuff) but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.

It's a shame it all died off because it's an experience that can't be replicated by anything short of getting one yourself. The amount of fun I've had around my cab by myself or with friends is leagues ahead of anything else we can play on. Not to mention the old memories in arcades with everyone watching, beating games, being really good at games, winning streaks on beat'em'ups...

I most likely will get a MAME cab eventually because there is no denying the ease of use and convenience for "let's quickly play some X game" and the price of finding some of the better, working PCBs.

Arcade cabs are a superior experience for many games overall, but the cost, size and space requirements can be prohibitive. Just like finding and getting cabs/games. In a perfect world I'd have many cabs, some dedicated to 1 game, some swappable for all the major platforms, (JAMMA, CPS-3, Neo Geo, whatever SEGA used). One thing at a time....

Retro gaming for life.

@GraveLordXD You said it yourself, 30fps, why would anyone chose it.

@Indielink "Improve your journey" sounds like performance to me. There is also footage of the game dropping to low 20s with effects happen.

@CapitanFalcon [removed]. I have no problem finding gaming time and having a social life on top of my 36 hour education week and 28 hour work week.

@IceClimbers It's a performance issue

Not sure why anyone would buy this version over any other because "muh portability!!1!eleventyone!1!" isn't a valid excuse for the state of this version.

Just another game that will be destroyed by sales on other platforms and RIP 3rd party some more.

@JaxonH While I'm aware that people use the term "double dipping" for referring to when they're going to buy a game on another platform despite already owning it, I disagree with the practice of people saying "double dipping" in the incorrect sense of the definition.

@JaxonH Actually I realise I worded it poorly. My original analogy is still accurate imo (getting extra return for little to no cost) but what I shoulda said was...

Companies double dip, not the consumers.

@JaxonH The company double dips their existing product/creation for little to no extra cost, but extra reward. Double dipping comes from getting extra on one thing, a 2nd helping on your 1 item.

You get double dipped by the publisher/developer.

@mikegamer I was trying to help him stop being a blind fanboy apologist, pretty sure that's the opposite.

@Frank90 You mean you'll be triple dipped, not you will triple dip.

Companies double/triple dip the consumer, not the other way around.

@Arnold-Kage It's not free. It just launches at the same time. Although you do get it for 500 yen (€5?) if you buy VC4 digitally.

@Iggy-Koopa Live in denial then, meanwhile I'll be enjoying games on all platforms since companies are willingly skipping the Switch for MANY games of their own volition, rightfully so.

The delay of 4 only affects the Japanese Switch version, not the rest of the world or other platforms, which still have the same release window as before.

@Slim1999 nope

@Anti-Matter And the wii had Call of Duty at the start too.

@Ensemen Plenty of basis for it.

Underpowered hardware.

Gimmicked controllers that are basically wiimote 2.0

Gimmicked accessories like labo and the wii balance board.

Shovelware/mobile ports of games.

Little to no 3rd party support.

@Fight_Teza_Fight It doesn't stand at all actually

@Fight_Teza_Fight A common misconception, Shenmue 2 was only exclusive to Xbox in North America, not the west as a whole. It came out on both Dreamcast and Xbox in Europe, and we're the "west" too.

That didn't take long for the NDF conspiracy theorists to show up.

It's a 3rd party game, of course it isn't coming to the Wii2, I mean Switch.

@Iggy-Koopa There is no Sony money involved. Understand your place as a Switch owner.

@Gerald It's not timed for PS4, it's coming to PS4, Xbox and PC

@Mqblank Shenmue 3 isn't PS4 exclusive

Switch won't get TES6 so the best users can hope for is ports of Fallout 3/New Vegas (you're not getting 4) and MAYBE another Doom port down the line if there is a new one. Struggles to run Doom/Wolf 2 as it is so assuming Doom 2 will be more advanced, yeah...

I also hope they properly reboot Quake in the same style as Doom.

This was confirmed as the PC version

It sucks that the Magikarp evolution isn't retroactive. The Kanto event and double candy is helping though. A magikarp with a berry gives 12 candy, 14 if you include the transfer candy.

That curveball excellent is a nightmare though. Literally only thing I'm stuck with.

@SanderEvers Oh you're one of those....

(It's not true, sorry)

@SanderEvers Or not.

@ecco6t9 But....Left 4 Dead isn't Unreal Engine....

@ieatdragonz You'll be waiting a while then as both those platforms are going to do well for this game.

Can change the pro controller to wired usb action, so their concern is moot

Will wait until the full game list is out before deciding

Looks about as poor as the Switch version of Doom

@Anti-Matter It's coming to Xbox One on the same day as PS4...

If this is real and Nintendo are holding back the announcement so they can announce it themselves during a Direct, it really speaks volumes about their lack of 3rd support that they'll do anything to have another game to announce.

@DiscoDriver44 Nintendo Switch also has more late ports and remasters in 1 year than the Xbox and PS4 have in nearly 5 years. There is a youtube video out there with the entire lists. PS4/Xbox is around 280, Switch is over 300.

@AlexSora89 There are 2 separate announcement trailers. All the generic, non branded announcement trailers (including the first official non leak announcement) has both platforms. Sony also have their own version of the trailer that only says PS4 but has Sony branding on the trailer.

TL;DR All non-sony trailers have Xbox and PS4 on them.

@link3710 If you watch the generic non-sony announcement trailer it has xbox/ps4.
