There was a wheel for arkanoid that looked pretty cool. I'm thinking that is the paddle people are talking about.

I anticipate they release prime 4 first, then some time after, a quadrilogy. Or perhaps a remake of pinball, or a Metroid-starfox crossover.

Perhaps they should have finished the game before releasing it?

Hopefully some of this software will manage a decent resolution and frame rate on text console.

If performance is poor an a 'remaster' they should just port the original game.

These games tend to be much more heavily discounted on other platforms and have better performance.

Sounds great. I'd buy this controller but I won't rent old games on NSO. Hopefully they sell some GameCube games on a cart or the eshop. I have sunshine and prime. I love games that do not expire.

I hope they announce the return of virtual console.

@Lady_rosalina now we can add lollipop chainsaw to the list of poor running switch ports. I wasn't psychic! I don't know why you pretended they were not common, or it was hard to believe that this game was likely to run poorly. It is a shame though. I would have loved this to run properly. I'm glad I waited until performance reviews.

Bring back virtual console!

The wide joycons look too wide for use on its side. And the buttons are mushed up one side. Also, I hoped they would have brought back a d-pad. It is too big, would have preferred it to be switch lite size. No point in a bigger screen when you can connect it to a tv. Still looks like flimsy plastic, although maybe the new connection method will make it more sturdy. Day one purchase for me.

Where is the lollipop chainsaw review? Is Nintendo life following IGNs boycott?

@Thomystic The best solution would be to make a new version of the game that does not need touch controls and fills the screen. That would take some effort though. I would rather play this on a DS, with correct layout and touch controls. A physical that comes packed in with a flip grip style accessory may have worked but not as well as playing on a DS or 3DS.

Probably harder because there is only one screen and it can't be displayed properly.

Metroid prime does not really take place between Metroid and Metroid 2. This is just a convenient spot, where there is no real plot to say otherwise. It was retroactively announced at some point but never really intended as a narrative link between two games with very little narrative. Prime is an attempt at a 3D, 1st person Metroid. Pretty much a reboot, with different mechanics. While the 2D games had continuity, Prime games were made by different people with little concern for being part of a wider cannon. I like all the games and don't think there is anything wrong with Prime being it's own thing. Other M is cannon though, haha.

I will probably get this for 1.99 at some point.

If my steam deck is more powerful than it, I won't be compelled to buy a switch 2 at all.

Not keen on any of these games. There should have been an option for that in the survey.

Didn't look stunning to me.

Artificial scarcity is anti-consumer. People who are desperate to get a rare card are victims of this practice. X-raying cards is not the problem.

I wish I got these when they were 1.99 and could get the update for free. I don't feel compelled to buy them after an update and significant price hike. Never mind, knowing doom games they'll go on sale soon enough. I'll get it on steam where it will be cheaper, likely a better version, futureproofed in terms of what I can play it on and have free online play.

I love the idea of this game but I am not paying what they are asking for. The box art looks like it was made by a small child on their phone.

@anoyonmus yes. Seems really dumb to announce in advance of release that phones are in the background prior to scares. Total tension killer. I'll still watch it. I hope it isn't as much of a spoiler as this sounds. it has some good reviews and the trailer makes it look amazing.

@RunninBlue I think you have a point there. Make sure you don't take it out of the box!

Does look rather poo.

I will totally get this for GBA, but not for forty pounds. I have the mega drive version running on my hacked mini. Cool game. So cool that it works on the mega drive mini too.

Looks good actually. It has been a while since a third party game interested me on Switch. I hope it reviews and performs well, has the right frame rate and resolution and sells at the same price as other platforms.

I don't know whether a zombie chainsaw game will benefit from a lower violence, censored mode. Not really what I think most fans of zombie games would want.

They should simply copy the last gen. That's what they have been doing for a few years now.

@Lady_rosalina yes but some ports of games that old don't run well on switch.

@roy130390 sorry, I didn't realize this was live service. Thought it was a proper game.

I hope this runs well on Switch. After a performance review, I am likely to get this on steam.

Shouldn't the game be complete at launch?

I'd rather spend my money on a Metroid game.

Instead of selling older games for less money, more recently, Nintendo has taken to selling older games for more money.

I still love playing my GBA and gb micro.

As for removing support for Wii U and switch this is what I would like Nintendo to do. Link games to an account and not a console, just like steam. Even Sony does it.

This article reads like the journalist has pasted some quicky searched trivia and Wikipedia notes into chat GPT and got it to discuss a common and unremarkable emulation feature, adding a popular game to make it a bit more clickable.

These articles make me think people who want to play popular retro Nintendo games should buy an Xbox or a Steam Deck.

I would never play a Metroid game on NSO, imagine having to pay rent on your saved progress.

I predict switch 2 will remove the screen, communicating player progress only with Ultra-HD rumble l. All buttons will be removed, in favor of IR sensor input and ultra-waggly gyro. It will have the NFC power of 100 amiibo, meaning that you can tap 100 amiibo at once, and feel 100 different HD rumbles. Using gyro aiming, we will be able to play HD rumble versions of amiibo festival 100 guests edition plus Mario Kart 8 deluxe Ultra HD rumble edition. Mario kart will include a labo cardboard box to sit in. 1-2-3-4 Switch will be the best selling game in which you merely play rock-paper-scissors, no need to turn the console on. The rock-paper-scissors will even work when at friends houses, when you have not brought your switch 2 with you.

Just checked on the wayforward website. It is merely a rom running on limited run's emulator. No thanks, I am out. Why wait until 2025 when I can play that old rom now.

I loved the original on GBA, truly a classic must have GBA game. Interested and hopeful to see whether this is a remake or whether they will update the visuals. The single image on the video shows some promise of updating the graphics. I wont play a GBA game 240/160pixels on switch stretched over a 720p screen. I'd rather play my GBA, as that is what the game was designed for.

I think I'll get this on steam deck when it is on sale. Not sure about an "improved version" running at half the frame rate on switch.

Nothing here for me but I'm grateful for this site providing a summary and saving me time.

None of this is my cup of tea. But this article saved me time finding out, so that's nice.

@batmanbud2 I like other M. One of the best looking games on Wii. It used video clips of graphics running on more powerful hardware, and integrated it quite cleverly. The characterisation of Samus was not what some people wanted, but I didn't care. It is one of very few Wii games I returned to when I got a steam deck. Not perfect but a great game.

It can't take that long to make Mario Kart 8 super-Deluxe and Breath of the Wild HD Deluxe on Switch 2.

I hope the game runs well on switch. Only interested in the game, not the fluff from limited run.
