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.

I'll be able to find it much cheaper than $50 at retail, so I'll be going physical. As for the missing multiplayer. I'm fine with that. I refuse to pay for NSO, so wouldn't be able to use it anyway.

The physical is always cheaper, when it comes out where I live, so maybe I'll pick it up then. There is more value to a box and a full game on a cartridge for me. If I buy digital I will get this, on a deep sale... An appropriate price being $19.99...only if I am still hyped about it by the time it comes on sale. While some consider $50 good value, good for them, I don't.

I am sure that virtual console is better on this device than on Switch.

Flashback 2 still gives me flashbacks of Flashback.

Nintendo don't want Genshin Impact 2 to be about crafting vehicles from parts lying around the environment.

Emulation should have worked at launch considering people are renting the service, and shouldn't have to pay to wait for it to work properly. I hope virtual console returns.

I can see $50 being an OK price if they intend to drop prices like they do on PS4 where few months later it's $39.99, and then shortly after that, $19.99.

I think Nintendo is quite responsible with parental controls. There are a few games that are not safe for kids, so it is good to filter them out. I am also glad Nintendo makes voice chat with strangers difficult, I know it is an unpopular opinion but every game becomes R rated when you hear the things people say online.

EA was the Consumerist's worst company in the world for two years in a row, earning two golden poos. They cancelled origin accounts after 2 years, effectively deleting peoples games if they didn't log onto their website, and used another more popular platform like steam. The Sims 4 with all DLC costs £1,000.33 / $1,094.33 / €1,094.33. Let's not forget when they defended those criminal gambling loot boxes, where you can't even buy the DLC as "surprise mechanics". Maybe they need to consider their own irresponsible business practices. Parents should know that EA are not to be trusted with the attention of their kids.

On an individual level, boycotting just means not buying a game you don't want.

I'm happy that a reasonably big game is coming to Switch. This and batman shows me there is life in the old machine for decent 3rd party content. Reminds me of when devs made games for both PSP and Wii as 2nd tier multiplatform games.

The newer and bigger Red Dead Redemption 2 is frequently on sale for $15 on steam, and I could play that on my Steamdeck. But... I can't buy the first game on Steam...why am I tempted by this terrible value proposition?

I have both a Switch and PS5, ideally I would like this on switch, and ideally an old game like this will run well on switch. I suspect the footage in the video is from PS5. I'm going to wait to see whether this is another GTA mess and will need to see gameplay footage and reviews before buying anything. If Nintendo offered refunds for bad products like steam does, I wouldn't have to be so cautious.

Well done to Netherealm for making the Switch versions. I hope the cost to condense this game into a switch version is profitable. For people who only have a Switch, it is nice to have modern, 3rd party games.

@Will808 perhaps it is easier to add a second screen to play Wii-u and 3/DS ports instead? Nintendo love second screens because it makes original hardware the best way to play, reducing piracy. The second screen could be detachable, like the circle pad pro. Could use the USB, in fact, they could make one of these for the current switch. Personally, I would like a even newer new 3DS.

With Nintendo's "blue ocean" approach, I'm wondering whether they might do something completely different to Switch, seeing as the market has a lot more handheld gaming machines. I hope they merely revise the faults with switch, like improving Joycon flimsiness and make the dock smaller, then add a more modern processor.

@Will808 the reverse Wii U connection to TV is a smart idea sounds cool. Problem is a switch uses very different hardware to Wii U and couldn't run a Wii U game without a proper port being made, or significantly more processing power to emulate a Wii U. Still could work.

1) virtual console with all games possible, no trickle and that recognises prior digital purchases on your Wii, Wii U, 3DS accounts instead of making you buy them again (or rent them).

2) light gun games, using a proper IR pointer like Wii had.

3)Metroid Prime 5 (4 should release on the original Switch, or both). Or perhaps a new mainline Metroid, or reboot, or something.

4) Mario Kart 9 with F-Zero tracks and vehicles that also can play as a full new F-Zero game too.

Something that utilises the new 4k rumble.

Great news about a game that might not even be released and is very different to the popular version. I look forward to not playing it.

I'm guessing that with a Wii U players do not need to pay a subscription to play online. Seems like this could be a more favourable way to play Mario Kart 8, for some of the few people who own a Wii U.

Wii/GC= CD folder
3DS/DS/GBA= drawers, here and there.
Switch=A tiny little cartridge box with 15 cartridges, just the big games. All Indies are digital. I love the tiny cartridges!
Wii accessories= a suitcase that I may need to throw out.
(I'm thinking of dumping all of the games ROMs to a SSD or the cloud to save space).

The switch successor will have no screen but use HD rumble to communicate progress for the player. It will have no thumb sticks or buttons eliminating all possible drift and instead will effectively use an IR sensor to control the rumble. 1-2 Switch Deluxe IR-Rumble edition will be its killer App. Full Amiibo support of course.

Nintendo should release Metroid and Zelda physical collections of SNES and GBA games. I loved the SNES mini but would love those games on a cartridge for Switch.

How about giving a game as a reward?

@Bass_X0 Funny how you use the term "new normal" which is used to describe events following wars, crises, pandemics and sci fi dystopian futures. It isn't abnormal to sell old videogames.

@Bass_X0 well, not sure about the crappy ones, but at present you are renting them, whether you like them or not.

They should make a Tom Clancy game where you shoot Raving Rabbids.

Bring back virtual console!

I'm still trying to figure out who the characters are.

@appleseedeon I'm not sure if this is actually true. Original NES games do not mention the cartridge is just a license to play. I think the same with SNES. This idea of it being a license emerged with internet downloads. I would like to see a Nintendolife article exploring this topic and answering some questions regarding laws in different countries and different decades.
