After GTA vice city on Switch. I don't trust Rockstar to polish this prior to release.

I would like to see a Windwaker HD, Metroid Other M, with new controls and skippable cutscenes. A F-Zero or Star Fox game would be nice, even if it is a port, ahem, I mean "remaster".

I remember the original 1-2 Switch saying it is a videogame where you look at other players and not the screen. Kind of like, you don't need to own the game.

There have been two Metroid Games released for Switch, which is kind of their maximum number for a machine. The Prime 4 logo announcement looked like a statement of intent, so Samus Returns didn't get a backlash like Federation Force did. Now we have Prime Remastered, they won't release a similar type of game on Switch.

@Cashews I'm sure that shareholders would prefer they were able to make 30% on the distribution of other developers work, like they could back in the day. The money is in creating platforms people use, not ones people blow dust off when the next Zelda comes out.

@Cashews well, Nintendo lost my money, they are hardly winning. As someone who has multiple platforms, Nintendo only really gets my money on first party offerings. I had to blow the dust off my switch to play the new zelda. The real loser is Nintendo fans, paying more (losing money) for worse versions of multiplatform games.

I have quite a lot of joycon because after buying replacements for drifting and broken joycon, I found a guy who fixes broken joycon.

@FightMikes if you own and paid a lot of money for a game but you lost it, I'm not sure it is legal to download the same game off the internet to replace the lost copy. That said, I don't really see an ethical implication, seems like fair thing to do in my opinion.

You can run dolphin on steamdeck already, just install it as a non-steam application. All we are talking about here is distributing dolphin on their store.

@Jprhino84 it was not obvious to me that you have not used your handheld device undocked. I know there are 3rd party accessibility controllers and ones that can be remapped. I hope you manage to find a way to play that works for you.

While I do believe large companies can do more to support options for disabled people I can't help wondering why someone who struggles to hold things in their hands chooses to buy a "handheld"

Does it include the horse gear, like the teleporting horse thingy? I'm guessing not but I'd like that.

I got my copy yesterday at retail for 398hkd, which is about 50usd or 40gbp. Looks like I bagged a bargain. It's a great game too.

Last time I saw wall jumping in 3D like that was Other M. I'd love to see another 3rd person 3D Metroid.

I hope Nintendo is just as strict on themselves for their anti-consumer practices like region locking, deleting servers for old digital games, not fixing joycon drift properly, not honoring digital purchases on their next platform, not giving refunds when games are released with severe performance issues. I wonder how much prison time Nintendo will do for these things? Nintendo you owe me $100 because I bought Nintendo credit that only works on a Wii U and I don't have a Wii U. Your customer service said "there is nothing they can do" You are thieves!

This is what I would like to see from a Switch 2-
1-No more plastic, make it aluminium or something a bit more sturdy. All my switches have cracked.
2- eliminate drift. I'm not buying any more drifting joy-con.
3- Bring back virtual console. NSO sucks.
4- backward compatibility with OG switch.
Obviously they need to make it more powerful too

The next switch should be a phone. Lol

@SalvorHardin I disagree. NSO would solve my problem of wanting to buy old games for switch legally. They need not restart the drip feed of old games, I just want to be able to buy old games so it's better if they just sell all the games they have.

@Classic603 yes, I would be totally fine with having an optional subscription I do not choose and the option to buy as well. Perhaps that will make everyone happy. Also, selling individual games would increase the feeling of value for subscribers.

I hope the next generation goes back to virtual console. NSO sucks.

I stopped playing Metroid Prime on Steam Deck and started playing the remastered version on switch. Now I'm playing Sable and Lakeview Cabin on Steam Deck. Prime remastered is a very good game and gives me a legitimate reason not to play my old GameCube ROM.

I'd buy some of these games. Shame Metroid Fusion isn't for sale.

I got a multi language one in Hong Kong for 228hkd. Thats about 29usd or just under 25 pounds. Has some Chinese words on the box, plays in English. Actually, the box looks cool.

Seeing as you can play the trilogy on steam deck, in high resolution, with very nice controls, I wondered whether this remaster would be redundant. Turns out, the switch remaster offers significantly more value than a upscaling or AI pass on textures. It is almost like a new game. I am impressed and so glad Nintendo did the work to make it significantly better than what can be found online already.

But can we unlock the fusion suit in this version?

If you can't drive one of those bikes it's not a Tron game.

I anticipate 1-2 switch deluxe and Splatoon 4. Perhaps an amiibo for a Pikmin. Can't wait.

I had no problems with joycon drift until my joycon started to drift.

If I am to think anything about this old N64 game, at the very least, Nintendo would need to sell the game.

Ahhh virtual console and Windwaker. Sounds more appealing than the Switch.

I planned on playing Metroid Prime on Steamdeck but had guests and ended up playing overcooked on switch.

I like the idea of repairing and adding to the durability of your favorite items. When I got cool items in botw, I often hung them on a wall, because I didn't want to use them up.

If Nintendo mess up like the Wii U again we might see N64 and GameCube minis being produced to make some revenue.

I have a special 3rd party token that imitates any amiibo, that I can use if Nintendo locks future content behind an amiibo. I'll still buy cool looking amiibo as a figure, but not to access part of a game I have already bought.

Mario kart is a must buy for all new owners of a Switch. As for good new games on Switch... 😭

While I always wanted something like this, the absence of a GameCube virtual console makes it a bit useless.

If Nintendo are worried about a Switch successor, perhaps they should start making some good games, bring back virtual console, ensure backward compatibility, fix the joycon drift, improve the build quality of the machine? No point worrying and doing nothing about it.

The content of the article and statement from the FTC do not explicitly state what these "dark patterns" are, or how Epic offended against the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act. It also didn't explicitly state that the violation was in Fortnite. It could be some other game like candy crush or something? I think a lot of free to play games violate privacy and endanger children by having strangers voices appear in your living room as a default option. Who knows what the actual problem was?

Probably needs NSO too.

No mention of the short film?

Downloaded Night Slashers. Also got a Steam Deck in the post, so I might have a few more handheld options soon.

If it is cloud, I don't think it needs a rating. It's not like it is even running on the console. It's running on a computer, somewhere else. Surely it is already licensed for PC?

@FeiFongWong26 if you get Gal Gun on switch, you can play it in a cupboard or under the bed.

I love Wii! It was like a GameCube with waggle sticks.

How about the original playstation games? They could put RE 1, 2, directors cut and possibly code Veronica in a collection. At least they would run.

Gal Gun 2 is 85% off at $4.49. Gun Gun Pixies is 90% off at $4.99. if you like that sort of thing.

Wii U has virtual console? Is this the Switch successor people keep talking about?

I deleted sonic fronteers to save microsd card space and now I'm playing ghost song.

Who is Ed Sheeran?

I'll check this out when I feel like playing a mediocre game.
