I can't wait! It is the first time I preordered both games in the series(Sword and Shield). This is all the first time version differences are so different. I normally start with the fire type, Sword fire, and Shield will probably be the grass type. Scorbunny and Grooky, I wonder which will be better. Shield I will replay to see how Sobble will be. Are you guys getting Sword or Shield, do you know who you are getting starterwise yet?
It has been since Madden 2013, that Madden has been on a Nintendo console. It has been too long... I have had many consoles since then, I haven't been happy with them, Sony and Microsoft don't have as many great games unless you want to play something rated M. I grew up Nintendo, I know great games do not have to be rated M. Shooting games don't interest me much, except Splatoon and Star Wars. All this said, Madden already came out, NHL isn't planned for the Switch. Would they release them late?
@JaxonH I see. I really don't want to mess up my games that their save isn't compatible to be backed up to the cloud( Pokemon, Splatoon). I mean, I don't want to deal with getting Meltan and Melmetal again...
By the way, you no longer can download Wii games, the virtual console has been closed. Anywho, my wishlist for the SNES online is; Link to the Past, Harvest Moon, Super Mario World, Yoshi's Island, Bomberman, Super Metroid, all the Square Soft(Enix) games, to be continued.
Yes, please. Tony Hawk? Did Activision make any other sports games besides skating and snowboarding? Someone needs to make an NFL football game for the Switch, possibly even an MLB game.
Why are they ten dollars more than a normal Joy-Con? They do look swell, it's just I have two pairs of Joy-Con's, don't feel like I need more, I have a Pro controller too.
Square Soft(Enix) has three of the top four? I would like to know what the 3DS results would have. Possibly Ocarina and Majoras in the top spot. I wonder will the Switches game list of fan favorites involve so many Square Soft(Enix) games just like the DS? There's so many on the Switch from Square Soft(Enix), it's only been two years.
I refuse to get excited unless it's not a game similar to Pokemon Shuffle or the other Pokemon games on Google Play. What about a Nintendo built emulator?
I imagine more would join online if there were a Gold Nintendo. Xbox and PS give modern games and discounts, Nintendo needs to do as their competitors do to have a successful online service.
Focus on handheld means less graphics and probably Less revolutionary. As of now I am disappointed. I was hoping for a Pokemon game better than Let's Go. I wanted a console Pokemon game. Let's Go the control system was disappointing. Why couldn't we use the pro controller? Only being able to use one controller was a huge drawback. It's hard to have a Switch this year. I mean nothing new this year besides a few games. Only Animal Crossing, a handheld Pokemon, a Zelda game that we should have got on Nintendo Online, and Metroid to look forward to. But those are 6-8 months away.
For me: Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age - Definitive Edition, Pokémon Sword and Shield, Animal Crossing for Nintendo Switch, Luigi's Mansion 3, The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening Metroid Prime 4. Too bad, we can't just fast forward to the fall...
@mlj11 FFX has a secret language in it. Thus like Wind Waker, the second time you play it you can understand what they are saying. But, unlike Wind Waker, FFX you have to find the missing pieces to understand the language.
For me: Blossom Tales, Fairune Collection, Final Fantasy 7, maybe even Final Fantasy World and Oceanhorn. (I will also be playing MLB The Show and Star Wars Battlefront 2, maybe Unravel or Unravel Two on my PS4.
Playstation automatically has their paid services as auto-renew. My cousin got burned on PS Now by not knowing that. I have Nintendo Online only because I got it from Twitch Prime free. I used to pay for Nintendo Online but got sick of NES games, and I didn't play online enough to justify paying. As of now I pay for Playstation Plus. With PS Plus last month I got a free PS4 Call of Duty game. Playing games online with Playstation I have no issues. Whereas I had issues with Nintendo playing online. Splat 2 and Monster Hunter Generation dropped every so often. In conclusion I think Nintendo needs to work on their servers and service way more than Playstation does.
I am not even sure I played more than a hour of those NES games. Kirby's Adventure was the only one that aged well. It is difficult going from Breath of the Wild to The Legend of Zelda 1 and 2.
@Beermonkey It's hard for me because I have a PS4 and Switch. The Switch is becoming a second console. All these ports that are celebrated for coming to Switch are normally more expensive than on my PS4. I am longing for a full-fledged Nintendo game, not something that looks 20 years old. Look at the sports games and compare from the Switch to PS4 and Xbox. The Switch looks closer to PS3 graphics than 4 or One. I won't say anything else, I don't want to argue with a Nintendo fanboy.
@Dilated You can only find the shrines so many times before it becomes a chore. I am just sad, that's why I loved the Wii so much. I could play Ocarina of Time, Majoras Mask, Link to the Past, Wind Waker, Twilight Princess, and Skyward Sword. And the Switch gets what?.... I don't want to buy a 3DS. If you can't tell they are my favorite series. I don't like the new way of business.
I don't think the change is a good thing. Launch year was amazing and not much since. How long do we have to wait for a full fledged Legend of Zelda game? We're two months away from the year halfway done and no word of a sequel of Breath of the Wild or a New Switch Legend of Zelda game. I mean Links Awaking may be fun for a while. Cadence of Hyrule maybe too. Those games are short compared to Breath of the Wild. Is the Switch only going to have one full fledged Legend of Zelda game? Will a New Legend of Zelda ever come to the Switch? Links Awaking will be fun, but look at the graphics it could of came out on the 3DS. The Switch is about halfway through its life and one one full fledged Legend of Zelda game... The Wiiu had more.
For Chocobo's Mystery Dungeon Every Buddy! Harvest Moon Light of Hope. Final Fantasy World Maxima. I even may try to find the Shrines in Final Fantasy 9. Maybe even a little RBI 19.
I want 13,13.2, Lightning Returns on the Switch. Or at least all the Square Enix games that are on Google Play. The ones on Google Play should be easier to port.
Hopefully we can get Banjo Kazooie! If the whole library was available then we would get classic Star Wars games, Final Fantasy 13, 13.2, Lightning Returns, Halo, Forza, and Madden.
I for one am intrigued. What if Google can provide classic games? They already have Sonic. What's stopping them from releasing games fans are desperate for, Banjo Kazooie games, proper Star Wars classics. If you ever downloaded a rom Google knows. What's stopping them from releasing the top downloads and putting those on their console? What if Google get s proper sports games that Nintendo hasn't for 7 years? We probably could even check our email on this console.
To bad Monster Hunter World hasn't come to Switch... Monster Hunter World was my first game in the series. Generations for the Switch fully felt like a few steps backwards. Still Generations is fun, but felt like the 3DS/WiiU version. Did Capcom do anything to the game, or did they just port it to the Switch? Loading Screens are so annoying. I enjoyed Generations, I felt it was like going from World to Generation, it was like going from Ocarina of Time 3DS to the N64 version.
We would finally get a good online service by then. I wonder, would it be difficult if Nintendo just ported the Virtual Console from the WiiU to the Switch?
How about a remake of the original Legend of Zelda, or even the second one. Those are really the only ones that have never been remade with better graphics.
@diablo2 Well said. Did you think of that or find that information? Anyway, I own a PS4, besides my Switch. I am a sports fan, Madden is my favorite. I did buy RBI 19 on the Switch and I am happy enough with that(in terms of sports). The Show hasn't changed much over the years. The games take 45 min's to play(twice as long as Madden, NBA 2K, and RBI. I am torn, I enjoy some RPG's. The RPG's on the PS4 are better quality and cheaper. Final Fantasy X, X-2 is 17 for the PS4, the Switch is 49.99, Final Fantasy 12 is 24 for the PS4, again for the Switch 49.99. Final Fantasy VII is also cheaper on the PS4 also. I don't get why we have to pay more for fewer graphics. The Vita version of Final Fantasy X and X-2 is 27 dollars. I imagine the graphics on the Switch will be more similar to the Vita's graphics than the PS4. If the Switch is a family system, why are ports more expensive?
@diablo2 I think if they want to put something cost-effective, why not Gameboy games, or Gameboy Color games? I sure hope they don't continue their Switch online service once the Switch is gone. Nintendo used to be revolutionary. They used to be the best company, always the top console makers, what happened? Now, they have the worst graphics compared to other consoles, their online has been the worst compared to other consoles since the WIi. I am just disappointed. I always have had Nintendo, but starting at the Wii U stage Nintendo has been lacking. I loved the Wii, mostly because of the motion sensitivity and the virtual console. The Wii U area I mostly had a PS3/4. I just am disappointed, there's a lack of new games for the Switch and Nintendo thinks we will want to play NES games till the holiday season. I mean Yoshi might be a fun game but it wouldn't make a person want a Switch to play Yoshi's Crafted World. It's more of a complementary game. I can't be the only who feels like this?
