I don’t believe the idea that the switch is just on its own. Blue ocean or not, money is still money, and people only have so much of it. I just don’t want the switch to get into a situation where devs just don’t port cause they have to scale things back to the point of why bother.

Nintendo will still do what they do best, but the huge difference from switch and Wii U is that the Switch has support from third parties. That needs to still be present going forward. If the current Switch can keep up, then great, but I kinda doubt it. We barely got Witcher 3 (great port though), so I just don’t see third party developers going from PS5 and investing the time and money to dial things back to get it on Switch unless they know it’s gonna sell really well.

More rumors, lol

Though, I do believe an “upgrade” is coming. The Switch will need to at least keep pace with the new Xbox and PS5. It won’t be anywhere near those consoles, but it needs to be in the same ballpark at least. Nintendo has a long history of upgrading hardware, or revising it in the handheld market. Even though the Switch is technically a home console, it’s most definitely a handheld as well. We already have a Switch lite, so I do expect to hear something soon about a revised standard Switch.

Good match everyone, until next time, cheers!

Retirement goals.

Wild. (NintendoLife wants me to write more than that, even though I don’t have anything else to add, so there you go)

Why is paper jam on this list??

I just finished this and yeah, I think this review is spot on. This game is really clever in a lot of ways. The game is basically The Thing on steroids.

The review is right, no map and the shedding of your mass bring it down a touch, but it’s really minor gripes. It’s a short game, and I was able to get around well enough, but I can see someone getting lost if they set the game down for a month or so. Best to just commit a few hours and beat it in a few sittings. Secondly, the shedding of mass is just busy work, I would have preferred to just have access to everything and just switch my “powers” when I wanted to.

Really great work though, so kudos to the developer, I had a blast.

I find this really unnecessary. How many possible sales is it gonna sabotage for Switch?? Hardly any. My god, just let Wii U owners have the option to buy it there if they want it. It’s not like there were many out there anyway.

Pikmin 3 was one of the best games on Wii U. This is a very welcome port, I’d love to play it on the go.

David Wise is the unsung hero in the Donkey Kong games. Tropical Freeze had such an excellent soundtrack.

The soundtrack in Snakepass is also amazing too.

Lmao, they’ve been saying this for almost 2 years now. They announced way too early.

I’m ok with this.

Color Splash suffered from very poor timing. It released in October of 2016, by that point, everyone was saving their money for the Switch.

That’s not a bad number for paper Mario, it’s just Ghost of Tsushima was a huge game release.

2015 for me. For the train wreck E3, which it was obvious the Wii U was in its final dying breaths. Federation Force, with no knowledge of a new Metroid known, and Animal Crossing amiibo festival, which frankly never should have happened. Worse yet, Nintendo completely trolled us with that trailer.

I think 2020 being on some people’s lists is kinda, weird. I don’t know how you can already judge a year that’s only half over, especially when we didn’t know about Paper Mario until May. I just don’t feel it’s fair to judge it just yet.

Helpful video, I’ll just have to remember to continue in the tunnel at this part. There really isn’t much reason to leave, but yeah, this is a potential problem and should get patched ASAP.

I loved this show. What I’m seeing from the trailer looks good. I’d like to know why there’s a $40 price tag, but if it’s good, I’ll be picking it up for sure.

Splatoon is one of my favorite franchises, I look forward to seeing how it grows and evolves. Cheers to many more years.

Love it. Oh Splatfest, how I’ve missed you.

Mine is coming in the mail today. Really looking forward to it. I just finished LoU2, and man, what a heavy game (it was excellent though). I need something a little more lighthearted right now, lol, and it looks absolutely stunning.

Iwata leading the way, and taking a pay cut during the difficult Wii U era tells you all you need to know about him. It wasn’t just a job, he really wanted Nintendo to succeed. He wasn’t perfect, but you’ll be hard pressed to find someone with as much integrity and passion as him.

I wish he could have seen the success of the Switch, but I’m sure he knew it was gonna be a hit. May he continue to rest peacefully.

Frankly, removing the video isn’t gonna change anything. Their biggest misstep was making this game “a big reveal.”

If they had just dropped the news and not made a big deal about it, it wouldn’t be this much of a disaster. I hardly think it would’ve been well received, but this largely could have been avoided. How they didn’t slot Pokémon Snap in it’s place is so bizarre, I almost can’t believe it happened this way. An absolute swing and a miss on the marketing front.

It made about as much sense as Nintendo giving us Federation Force with absolutely no update on the progress of a new mainline Metroid game. Sometimes, Nintendo and their friends, make incredibly odd decisions.

I loved Octopath, I wouldn’t be opposed to some battle music being added

Donkey Kong Country is one of my favorite games ever made. It blew my mind back in the 90s. I’m booting this up immediately.

I was actually thinking of this game the other day wondering if we’d get an update. I loved Doom (2016), so I will patiently wait cause I loved playing in handheld.

The thing with Animal Crossing is it has legs. New Leaf continued to chart, well, well past its release for instance. Couple that with a crazy successful first couple months, and you’ve got yourself a mega hit that will continue to bring revenue for years to come.

Sorry, I have no interest in a free to start game. Hard pass from me.

I personally just don’t do mobile games. I get some people like it, but I’m one of those that will fall off immediately and not invest a dime.

I’d rather Nintendo put focus into their regular games, so I’m definitely ok with this. The mobile game business is so noisy and crowded, it basically takes a mini miracle to make it a viable venture to continue on.

Basically everything on my wishlist is on sale, lol.

@FlashBlade

Seems a bit extreme.

@eltomo

Same, I am very much looking forward to LoU2.

I watched Digital Foundry’s analysis, and oopf, it’s pretty rough. I generally don’t care if something is dialed back, but it’s to the point where it effects gameplay, and the overall art design. I dunno, I’ll wait to see what kind of patches they do, but I may just have to stick with the PS4 for this.

@N64-ROX

Nintendo probably pushed it hard cause of the lockdown. Plus, this was very popular on the DS.

I think I’m gonna pick this up, board games are always solid.

Mine got a delayed delivery, which is fine, it’s not an important delivery. If you order it, just expect delays right now.

Parks and Rec is one of the best comedies ever made. Watch it if you haven’t had a chance.

Makes sense, these were likely former E3 announcements.

Crazy busy week for releases. Only going with Xenoblade for now, but will pick up a few, if not all, the new 2K games in the future. It’s just way too much cash to drop in one week.

I’d be ok with 3D World, Pikmin 3, and Xenoblade X. Fatal Frame could probably be ported well also. They can keep Starfox Zero, I’m sorry, it just wasn’t good. Also, why, again WHY, is amiibo festival even being considered? Burn it with fire.

A stunning remaster. Improved textures, improved character models, remastered music. What’s not to love? Can’t wait to try it out.

So I do think it’s real. However, I think the date is a shot in the dark. It just makes too much sense to re-release it with Prime 4 a few years away.

Ultimately this comment doesn’t mean much. Actions speak louder than words, so the fact that they’re releasing 3 games next week tells you more about their feelings than anything they say.

Though it would have been nice if they splurged for the 32GB carts that Witcher did. But, still something is better than nothing. It’s just the physical games are basically full downloads anyway, so I don’t really see the point.

Oh splatfest, I have missed you!

The joy cons are $80 drift-sticks. No other way to say it.

I’m rusty, but I’ll definitely be back.

@Tyranexx

Haha, Nintendo did say play anytime, anywhere!

@DTfeartheBEARD

I hear ya. In my house 2 out of the 3 pairs we have are drifting. I try to play on the tv more to prevent the inevitability on the last good set.

My wife is dealing with the problem right now, and since nothing is open, I’m not really sure what to do. I might have to just get a new set for her, cause after having the problem myself, I know how incredibly annoying it is. I’m glad they closed down for safety, but yeah, this problem is indeed a nightmare. I can relate, the Switch has given me the most problems and I’ve owned most of Nintendo’s products.

I get that products are gonna have a certain fail rate, but for a company that has such a commitment to “quality”, the joy con is laughable at best.

@sixrings

Every person I personally know that has a Switch, has had problems with drifting. Every single person. I guess we should all stop our tradition of drop kicking our Switches down the stairs every morning. I’ll talk to them about it and see if we can change our ways, no promises though.

This looks really good. I’ve been thinking of getting a chess game, I love chess. But I might opt for this cause it comes with so much more. Can’t go wrong with board games sometimes.

My wife tried this on iOS. She played it for maybe 3 days and never picked it up again. I would much rather they find a way to get Fallout on Switch, than focusing on things like this.
