Rather than a remaster of Other M, which I would like too, I would much rather see a new game. I would like to see a remake of Super Metroid and Fusion but I worry that it may not be good enough. I think there should be an updated port of Samus Returns too.

@Novuscourvous you make an interesting point. The worn off 07 and location of James' remains are circumstantial evidence, not conclusive. I had always thought there must be more to this story, seeing as there was a lot more set up than conclusive resolution. I did zone out during a lot of the voice over so maybe I missed something vital. I still think they could work on improving the plot in a remaster, I just feel like they needed a scene explaining the deleter more, but like I say I don't play games for plot and I really do love the game. One of the best games on Wii in my opinion.

I am not yet sold on Switch 2. Not planning on buying it yet. I have the opinion that the tech is old, and could have been released several years ago and they have not released a game I would pay $70 for(it would need to be very special). That said, this Nvidia guy made me think it was an impressive machine. I am a little bit more sold. Good marketing...Games please.

@Ratmasterd21 Switch 2 is an aging system before it is released. The good and bad is that games are optimized for consoles so they will run better on lower specs. It is most certainly not more powerful than new hardware but may get those ports that make it look like it can work wonders, just like switch 1. I would much rather buy a Steam deck or ROR Ally for well over the price of a Switch 2 because I have never paid $80, $70, $60, $50, $40, $30 for a AAA game on steam and Nintendo is still selling Breath of the wild for $70. that's insane. For the same reason, I bought a PS4 because the games ran better and cost significantly less than switch 1. As.a switch owner, I saved a lot of money by buying a PS4. Nintendo is Nintendo, it isn't going to change. Nintendo always overcharges.

I like the idea of buying a discounted switch OLED over an expensive switch 2 but the release of one game I can't live without could easily change that.

I suppose with a screen protector, if you scratch it, you can replace it, so this protective film probably does not replace a screen protector. That said, if Nintendo are adding a layer to the screen, why not make it a screen protector too?

I've been playing GameCube games via emulation for years on steam deck and this year on Retroid Pocket 5. Steam deck can run the Wii U HD Zelda with ease. RP5 can run it with some slowdown but it runs the original with HD textures and widescreen hacks better. I prefer RP5 as it is a little smaller than a switch lite and has an OLED screen, hall effect sticks. I'm also playing Wii, Wii U and Switch games on these devices. I own all of these games, so it is all legal, takes effort to extract the files and some tinkering but it results in a better user experience than Nintendo's rental of old games and the drip drip drip. I will buy a Switch 2 as soon as they release that killer app but not to play GameCube games.

@Ratmasterd21 is this a description of the steam deck or an ROG Ally? It certainly isn't a description of the Switch 2. The handhelds I mention, will support games well beyond 5 years, I'm not sure what is the most powerful handheld system ever made but it certainly isn't Switch 2. It has already been announced that Switch 2 cannot play all Switch games. The consoles I mentioned can play more Switch games than Switch 2. The $450 price tag omits the $80 price of a game. It is the game price that puts me off more than anything. On Steam you can get Cyberpunk 2077 for $40 today at full price. It is regularly on sale for $24. On Switch 2 it will be $70. The other issue is NSO which is 100% more expensive than the zero charge for using online functionality on the handheld systems I mentioned. So no, Switch 2 is terrible value for money.

Sadly nobody is guaranteed a job anymore. If you choose to work in creative types of jobs, like videogames, there is significantly less job security and far more competition. Working for a videogame studio is like risking it all for something you love. It's sad, but this can mean stints of unemployment.

While I'm sure this game has an audience, I am most certainly not it. All I see is PowerPoint like choppy poor animation and lame illustrations that would have benefited from using AI to make them look a bit more finished. And yes, the content is not appealing to me either. Good luck to them, I hope they find their niche market.

I'd get this, and a Switch 2, if it seemed better value for money.

Not buying anything from Limited Run. They have a bad reputation. Seen too many reports of very long delivery times (years), poor quality product and terrible customer service.

I do not consider a bump in resolution an upgrade. To choose a resolution is in tons of really old games like the original Doom.

Ahh yes, the controller with lots of missing features from PowerA. I remember not buying those for the Switch 1 too.

I've not played Borderlands 1 yet. I can wait a few decades for a deep sale.

I think Other M will age like Star Wars prequels. Other bad Metroid games will come out and people will look back on it more fondly. I think it was a great game back in the day. With an upscale and more accessible controls, and possibly a few tweaks in the plot department, as people were hypercritical of the plot. Personally I don't play games for plot. Perhaps they could finish the game so that you can actually find out who the deleter is. I would love to buy a remaster.

I personally really enjoyed Other M and have both of these figures. One of the few games I 100% completed. I now play Other M with control mods and higher resolution on a Retroid Pocket 5.

Not having money but "finding a way" sounds like he's encouraging piracy?

I liked Streets of Rage 4, but the art style of Shinobi looks like a real step up in comparison.

I do like Mario Kart 8, but it didn't persuade me to buy a Wii U, I got it on Switch but Zelda was the system seller. To be honest $80 games has put me off the console entirely. I'll hold out, possibly compare a future lite or OLED model with a Steam Deck 2 in a couple of years

@Pillowpants I do see your point. In the country were I live, there are no places like GameStop or CEX, so I never trade games. Codes in boxes are often cheaper than the digital store because they are so unpopular. I would hate to lose my keycard, meaning I can't play a game and know the game wasn't even on the card. Cards with nothing on them, wasting space in your bag as well as space on your SD card. I would never buy a digital game for $60. If a game is of value, they should pay for a real cartridge, full game. Updates and dlc is ok as a download.

@Pillowpants while keycards can be traded, which is a good thing, the only positives of a digital download is that it is on your console and hard to lose, and you do not need to store an extra card. Here we have to download the game but also store an empty card. If you lose the card, you can't play the download.

Keycards are worse than a code in a box.

My wife played this on PS4 about seven years ago. It's like Switch 2 is a time machine. Well worth the extra cost.

I bought a colour tv and it played the black and white tv show in colour for no extra charge. I bought a new car and it drove me to work with nicer seats and a new stereo for no extra charge. I bought a new phone and could send text messages on the new device for no extra charge. I bought a new fishing rod, was allowed to fish in the same lake at no extra charge. I bought a new bed and was allowed to sleep in it with no extra charge, could even use my old pillows.

I instinctually killed my subscription to NSO quite some time ago.

I stopped playing Switch when I got a Retroid Pocket 5.

This would have been a great idea a few years ago. All these joycon and Switch Oleds are going to be tough to shift now. They should really put them on half price or something.

Meanwhile Steam provides windows drivers on their website to help give more operating system options.

1) I'm not paying for online.
2) I don't want people to speak to me through my console.
3) I don't want my child speaking to strangers online
4) I really do not want a camera watching me or my family, when I am playing a game.
5) No, no, no, no, no, no, no!

A computer mouse may be "nothing new for Nintendo" but it is also nothing new full stop. They were invented in the sixties.

All six collections could fit on one cartridge. Not only would it save plastic and money for customers, increase the portability, I also think a lot more people would buy it, making it one of those cartridges you always carry with your switch. I don't want six mini collections of Neo Geo games but something like the mega-drive classics collection is really tempting.

Quite a few years ago, there was a really dry spell in Nintendo games on switch. I was in a gaming shop and saw a very old game, Doom for $60 on switch and $10 on PS4, a lot of other games were the same and playstation had a lot more cheap 3rd party games. So instead of buying a few switch games I bought a PS4. I later bought a steam deck, ps5 and gaming PC. While I could afford a Switch 2, the games are way too expensive in terms of value proposition and in comparison to what other consoles sell. Cyberpunk 2077 is often on a steam sale for around $15, so I wouldn't get a lesser version on switch for, whatever they are asking, $70-80? I skipped Wii-U and might skip Switch 2 in the same way.

GameStop did this to me with the original Wii. They've been doing it for ages.

@UmbreonsPapa it's because tech demos are traditionally free. Makes sense people are concerned. People want to buy Switch 2 but Nintendo needs to be on the same page regarding the value proposition/cost of their products. This is very important when choosing a new console and becoming locked into one console manufacturers marketplace for years.

This pricing puts me off the Switch 2. It makes me weary of entering another Nintendo owned closed ecosystem, where I rely on them not to fix or hike up costs. The launch games on Switch are still $60. Maybe I am too poor to be a Nintendo fan now.

@Bizzyb I'm not sure a Switch 2 is cheaper than a steam deck. Perhaps the console but very few Steam games are $80. Cyberpunk on Steam more often sells for around $16 and the highest it tends to go for is $40. I doubt the Switch version will sell for $40 for a very long time. I bought it on launch day for $60 and this was the most expensive game I had ever bought on steam. In addition, valve does not normally charge any more money to play the same game, you already bought, just because you have new hardware. If I wanted to play cyberpunk at a higher resolution or framerate on a steam deck 2, I would just boot up the game I had purchased on steam deck 1 and possibly change the settings, if it didnt do it automatically.

@DonkeyKongBigBoy that is a selling point actually. I'm sure to get MP4 on the original Switch but it's good to know i won't have to buy the game again, when I eventually get switch 2.

Still waiting for that killer app that makes me want to buy a Switch 2. Breath of The Wild did it for me with switch 1 but a smoother running version on switch 2 isn't that appealing, seeing as I've finished the game. I've been playing Cyberpunk handheld on Steamdeck for years so this isn't going to be a system seller for me. Fingers crossed for Metroid Prime 4 being just as good on original Switch, to save me some money. As for mouse mode, I've played games with a mouse since the early nineties, does not seem novel to me.

@Rykdrew steam deck OLED may have a better screen but does it play GameCube games? ... (Yes, plus Wii and Wii U, switch, PS2...)

All GameCube games are playable on Steamdeck without a subscription and have been for many years. Also on most Android phones. They also play Wii, Wii U and Switch btw.

I have been playing an upscaled version of Wind waker, with widescreen hacks on Retroid pocket 5. The WiiU version doesn't run quite as well on it.

The article writes "Nintendo will also be releasing a new wireless GameCube controller" and "will you be replaying The Wind Waker". Shouldn't it be "Nintendo will also release a new wireless controller" and "will you replay The Wind Waker"? Such a strange way to be writing things I be reading. Have you been understanding how unusual this has been being?

Some people won't buy a switch 2, not just because of its price, but it's unwieldy size. Switch lite is a more suitable handheld for travel.

I think I am going to wait for a while before picking up switch 2, especially if there is no killer app for me, and indies like this still come to switch 1. If there are performance problems with Metroid Prime 4 on switch 1, I may suddenly change my mind.

I'm OK with paying for digital only games, as long as they have sales like on steam. As for people saying they will lose the games when the servers go down, there are some game preservationists sailing the high seas who can help with that.

I think lots of people said it already, but it is better to have an original switch game plus the upgrade key because you can play the game on both switch 1 and 2. Many people would rather play prime 4 on switch lite, for a more portable experience.

@StewdaMegaManNerd yes, a valid point. I own and paid (once) for all of the games I emulate. I don't rent games and have been playing Wii and GameCube on a handheld for several years now.

I am trying to think of something this can do that my Steamdeck can't already do.

I thought it was 007 themed dlc for hitman.
