I don't need a bigger screen, unless it folds in half or something. I want something portable.

Prime 4 was made up so Samus Returns wouldn't get Federation Force levels of hate.

The game looks really thrown together. I think I'll pas

I still shop at places that do not offer trade-ins. I hate when you try to return a faulty game and they try to offer you a trade in value instead of a full refund, or suggest it was "tested" so I must have caused the damage or some other scam that you get with 2nd hand games. I also hate it when a 2nd hand game is similar price to a new one or presented as new. I prefer a straightforward purchase.

Due to the power of blockchain technology, people will still own the NFTs and could still sell them via other platforms to anyone stupid enough to buy them.

As a Switch and Steamdeck owner, I am sorry to say that Switch cannot compete. It is not shovelware, it is the AAAs. The real issue is that Swich cannot run contemporary games. Steam deck is not perfect but it runs a lot of games significantly better than the Switch. On top of that, I know that a game I bought in 2010 on steam is likely to work in 2090, something I cannot say about Nintendo games. Steamdeck can also run GBA, NES SNES, GC, N64 etc without a subscription because it is a PC, illegal but true.

Hyper-NES, or Hyper-Nintendo. I think it signals that it isn't an mid-refresh switch (and instead looks like an improved SNES). Although these names with connotations of power will get ridiculed when the machine can't run contemporary videogames with adequate performance. So this name, only if the silicon chips are nice.

Changing the rules last year made them seem untrustworthy. Sacking lots of people due to a poor leadership decision is the same mistake. The people that need "resetting" are the ones that made that decision.

I am outraged by an assumption about a group that is assumed to have possibly said something about a group I can choose to consider myself part of. This is the internet after all.

I would like updated hardware. Nintendo will likely milk the Switch for all it is worth. They should release a switch lite OLED that can be docked. They could release all sorts of joycon and accessories. They could play into all of the fitness accessories or labo. They could release collections of SNES or GBA on cartridges. They could do "remasters" of GameCube and Wii games more. There is a lot that can be done with Switch before moving on.

If Nintendo continued virtual console, we might have PS1,PS2 and GameCube games on it by now.

@Kilroy this is a shame. I have both dementiums on DS. I also have the original Moon. I think I really enjoyed them them back in the PSP/DS era. I do not like buggy ports

@AG_Awesome if you only play games on switch, you will be waiting a long time to play most things.

This game was super impressive on the original DS. Most games on DS were 2D. Not really interested in playing on a Switch but it was super cool in its day.

@AG_Awesome Dementium 2 hd has been on steam for a long time. Was going for 75p in the autumn sale.

It was 8 pounds on steam for Halloween. I thought I would wait for it to get a bit cheaper.

Is that a 3D streets of rage? OMG. The Shinobi looks pretty cool too.

Sometimes a download code in a box at retail is cheaper than a digital download from the eshop. That's something.

Surely when an addition is announced, they should add it immediately. People are paying by the month for access and these are really old games.

It depends on whether the playing experience is better than the original switch. I hope for better build quality but it could be worse. I would love a more premium feeling, sturdy successor. If the successor is made of creaky, bendy plastic again, that cracks when you dock it. I'll keep my old switch on standby for when it breaks. Also, I am not sure that I'll get the next console.

Brie Larson as Link.

@sForzan you are "spending money on it" but now you are only renting. You are renting something you already own! It's your money, all good.

No support... Imminent switch 2 announcement confirmed!

I am very upset about this. I don't know what twitch is, had no intention of using it and, if I did, it wouldn't be on switch. I am outraged though.

One more old room? I don't think I'm going to buy the next Nintendo console.

If I liked all of the games, and had not bought any already, and the price is similar to the discounted price of these games combined, I would get this.
...
I don't think I'm going to get this.

@johnedwin I'm not a fan of this version of Spider-Man. At least this sonic looks and acts like the Sonic I grew up with.

I will get this at some point, but not for $60. I hope split screen is on other platforms. It could be processing power issue.

@BenoitRen are you feeling OK? You take things very seriously and worry about unimportant things. Sure, a game engine will cost a little more to people who have already made money off the free at point of entry engine. It's not right to move the goalposts like they did but its not the end of the world, and they moved them back mostly. I wouldn't say it is morally wrong, that's a bit extreme. People will keep making games. I'm not a troll, you keep overreacting. I hope you are well.

@BenoitRen well, there was some rolling back. Whether a roll or a partial roll, to be honest, it's their company, they can do what they want. You might not like it, but it isn't up to you. Just use another engine if the price isn't to your liking. And if you don't use engines, maybe find something to care about that has more of an impact on your life. The weather perhaps?

@BenoitRen not a full roll but there was some rolling back.

@Ashunera84 when you say "ask for more money from your customers" that kind of sounds like how capitalist society works. I haven't really heard of a customer that isn't expected to spend money.

I recognised the guy who kneels in protest and does Nike adverts, but don't really know who he is.

Ten pounds off a Switch Oled is hardly a sale worth writing about... unless there are affiliate links!

He made a poor decision regarding how people pay for Unity. When it wasn't well received, they rolled it back. I don't know why this requires stepping down, surely he doesn't make these bad decisions in isolation; there would have been a lot of discussion prior. People do not want a sacrifice from a figurehead, they want an engine that doesn't move the goalposts in terms of pricing.

For me, videogames on Switch are overpriced. I have a steam deck and the same games are much cheaper on steam. With steam, seeing as you can't sell old games, I wait for the game to be similar to the price of a rental, like 90% off, and that can be done on steam regularly, but it can't on a Nintendo platform.

When Breath of the wild and Mario Kart 8 are still $60 on digital, I would never buy a digital only Nintendo machine.

It isn't the best marketing for a marketing consultant if an interview with them just reads like marketing spin without much substance.

I was interested to see the graphics comparison but have no interest in playing either version. It was given away for free last year via epic game store and I couldn't be bothered to download it.

I'm guessing most people on this site already own a Switch.

I'm not paying $50 for this and it's likely I don't have to.

The only Metroid game I have not finished is Federation Force because single player is too hard and nobody is online. Someone should set up a day, for everyone who wants to play it, to go online and actually find players. Now there is a deadline too.

Last time there was a sale, it the trilogy was $8.99 on Steam. On Switch they want $60 lol.

@NorthwestEagle I can't lie, I kind of do. Not to mention every book I have ever read too. Holidays are really difficult.

@NorthwestEagle I suppose you might need to choose one console or the other? No need to play every game you own when on holiday. Do you still carry your 3DS PSP and Atari Lynx when you go on holiday?

Would I buy a Zelda Deluxe that combined BOTW with TOTK on the next system? Would I buy Metroid Dread 2 which includes a HD version of Samus Returns plus two extra bosses? Would I buy Mario Kart Super-Deluxe with all DLC or Smash Bros with all DLC, the answer is yes, possibly on a sale, even though I really shouldn't. Would I buy the same games with just minor changes in resolution or frame rate for $60? No.

Digital backwards compatibility is easy. As for cartridges, if Nintendo doesn't want a 2nd cartridge slot or a multipurpose cartridge slot, they should stick a switch cartridge slot on the dock and have 24hr validation for portable play of a digital counterpart game. They will lose money if they don't have backwards compatibility, more money than they lose from people using backwards compatibility to duplicate a few games they own. If I was Nintendo, and a cartridge slot was a financial impossibility, I would allow people to replace their games with a digital counterpart using their original switch and Nintendo account plus an element of "trust". Maybe, for people with more than 20 cartridges, ask the player to reinsert one of the cartridges after 6 months to prove they still have them all. Sure, some people will pass carts around their friends but these will be last gen games. Surely all the focus will be on the new games at this point.

Strange that people think they must rebuy games if there is no backwards compatibility. Just play Switch games on Switch. That said, I'm not buying a Switch 2 without backwards compatibility because Nintendo would try to resell old games as "deluxe", and I would probably buy some of them. Ahh, I see the point.

While I understand that we can always play switch games on switch, I hope to see that the switch 2 will be an upgraded handheld, with better build quality, better buttons a proper D pad and more sturdy thumbsticks. I don't like the sound of creaking plasitc or the feeling of a handheld bending in my hands as I play it. I doubt my 2nd Switch will last more than a few years and I won't buy a third. If the Switch 2 is a nicer experience to play, and better quality, I would like backwards compatibility. If it is as flimsy as a Switch, and has no backward compatibility, I might opt for Sony's streaming tablet or something. PS5 and Steamdeck have quite a lot of backwards compatibility.

@LikelySatan did you? Did you not notice how all the games looked like the same game?
