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?

Dementium 2 was remade in 2013 for PC, so why is this guy pretending to figure out how to get a DS game onto one screen? Also, why not mention Dementium 2HD when asked about releasing an updated Dementium 2?

Plenty of Emulators that can put your old games games back onto a more modern device. I wouldn't wait for Nintendo to do it for you.

They all look like the same game.

I played a marvel l top trumps card game, using cards, but I wouldn't play with simulated cards on an electronic device.

It will be nice to play both stories, back to back, on the same machine.

I liked this game on DS, because it pushed what the DS could do and there were not that many horror games on DS. I won't pay 19.99 for a really old game on Switch though, especially when I already have it and there are better, more impressive horror games.

60fps? I'll believe it when I see it.

@arabiansanchez Yes this is true but the overpriced ports are usually even more overpriced on Switch. Capcom love their Switch tax.

If Capcom was owned by Nintendo, they would become the king's of overpriced ports of really old games.

Twilight princess isn't ported to Switch as a way of punishing people who didn't buy a Wii U.

I'd rather have a proper D-Pad. The real 3DS looks better.

It is scummy to try to pass PC footage off as Switch gameplay. Should be illegal. The trade description act 1968 suggests it is.

I had the game on PC and it was not good. Not a groovy experience at all. I saw the tv show and the reboot movies, which I doubt many people have, and it did have models from all but the last movie. As a big evil dead fan, it was nice to see but obviously Evil Dead 2 is the one most people like and I doubt many people will recognise the models. Also, the old fistfull of broomstick PS2/Xbox game is much better. This is just a sandbox game, no proper levels, like Friday 13th. You need other players online to play this game and because on switch you would have to buy NSO, and then there would be nobody in the lobbies, I would never buy this game on switch. They need to create a proper single player game.

@Fizza that is a large plastic box with a small HDMI dongle inside.

I really like the look of and idea behind this game. It isn't worth paying $19.99 to only be allowed to play for one year. I'd buy it for $19.99 though.

A fee after $200,000 means when you become very rich, pay some money for the cheap tool you used. It will not impact small-time devs who are trying to find their place in the market. Once you are a high profit company, build your own bespoke engine. I see no issue here.

I didn't buy this on the other platforms. I'm interested in Arkham trilogy, on a sale, but not this.

I wonder whether I can pay for it with an empty piggy bank?

On a modded switch you can also "buy" the game for less than $50.
