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.
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.
@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.
Certain 3ds cartridges ask for a patch but the console is no longer supported. It looks like Nintendo is actively encouraging hacking, modding and emulation here.
It looks like they could have used AI to upscale textures in Mario 3D All Stars. If so, it's a bit lazy but the results are fine. The EMMI in Metroid Dread use some kind of basic AI and trickery to make them seem more intelligent than they are. AI is good when used properly like this.
While Abubakar Salim thinks people that look like him in the game development industry are expected to "just sit down, be quiet, and just accept the fact that you're outsiders". I wonder how Pete Brisbourne and Jordan Smee feel now that they are outsiders and do not look like Abubakar Salim. I suppose Jordan and Pete were the first in a diverse and equitable range of layoffs that unrepresented and unemployed all groups fairly and evenly. I'm sure Sweet Baby Inc wouldn't want it any other way.
I would buy a metroid-maker from Nintendo, with officially licenced assets and enemies I recognize. Nintendo should really do that. It is very hard to make a good metroidvania, so while I would buy it, user generated Metroid games would probably be a dumpster fire.
Very kind of Nintendo allowing me to connect my own device that I have already purchased to the internet, that I have already paid my service provider for. They will allow this for "free", in affect allowing me to use my switch like most electronic devices, and yet only for seven days? But let's not forget the additional perks like playing, but not being allowed to buy, some really old games, effectively holding any gaming progress to ransom behind a rental paywall. Forgive me if I do not take ninty up on this generous offer.
I didn't think Federation Force still worked? Online multiplayer is going to be dead, and it is primarily a multiplayer game. Used to be a decent game.
All it needs for me to love it, is pointer controls like on the Wii. Not gyro, actual 1-1 motion aiming. Surely it can be done, even if I have to buy another accessory. I prefer the Wii version of prime over the remastered one, solely due to controls.
Pointer controls please Nintendo, not gyro. Prime remastered looked nice but the controls were not as good as on the Wii. Looking forward to this game but I would want it a lot more without the downgrade to controls.
I'm not a big fan of the MP4 subheading "Beyond". I don't know whether it is because the old logo is all I had of this game for so long, or because it reminds me of a bad Star Trek or batman subhead. Maybe Beyond has been used too much elsewhere. That said, I'm happy to see the game is not vaporware.
There could be a way to use the IR camera and perhaps some little tin foil squares to create an effective light gun on switch? I would even accept the ability to plug in a Wii sensor bar and use an old Wiimote. Like the previous game, I think this is just going to use gyro, so I won't buy it.
Not much going on in this presentation for me. Warhammer could be good. Black myth wukong could be good. Both are more likely wishlisted on PS5 in the hope of a deep sale.
I got bored playing the third one, and Travis strikes again too. I'm fine with them moving on and doing something new, building on and developing their style with something original.
I'd buy this on switch but I am a bit paranoid that my switch is about to mutate into a horrible monster of a last gen system full of games I can't play on the next platform.
It looks like Sweet Baby Inc were consultants on this game. I do not think diversity is a threat, I love diversity. I think games can bring people together and games should be for everyone. I think racism is wrong. All forms of racism, against all races. I can't buy something associated with Sweet Baby Inc.
I was emulating an upscaled and improved version of the Metroid Prime rom I own, using steam deck. No need to rebuy an upscaled version of a game you own with no further improvements. When remastered came out, I had to stop and get this significantly improved version of the game. I still wish there was a facility to use a Wii remote because prime trilogy on the Wii is the best version of the game, solely because of superior controls.

@roy130390 sorry, I didn't realize this was live service. Thought it was a proper game.
Re: PSA: Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP Switch Digital Pre-Orders "Opening Soon"
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?
Re: Metroid Prime Samus Gravity Suit Statue "First Look" Revealed, Pre-Orders Open Next Week
I'd rather spend my money on a Metroid game.
Re: Talking Point: Will The Switch Ever Get A 'Nintendo Selects' Range?
Instead of selling older games for less money, more recently, Nintendo has taken to selling older games for more money.

Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's GBA Library With Three More Titles
These articles make me think people who want to play popular retro Nintendo games should buy an Xbox or a Steam Deck.
Re: Soapbox: Metroid’s Mother Brain And The Rewind Dilemma
I would never play a Metroid game on NSO, imagine having to pay rent on your saved progress.

There are already tons of rom hacks of 2D Metroid games. I suggest people just play those.

An IR pointer like on Wii is much more useful.

I've been watching old tv series. I have lost interest in Switch, I hope some new releases or a new system can inspire me to jump back in.

Re: The House Of The Dead 2: Remake Has Been Rated For Switch
There really is no point in updating the graphics while also severely downgrading the gameplay by omitting a light gun.
Re: Random: It's Now Been Seven Years Since Metroid Prime 4 Was Announced
