I’m mostly likely not going to buy any LABO, but I can see parents getting it as an activity to do with their kids. It’s interesting and wonder how this concept will evolve down the line.

Props to the engineers who designed these, that is some complex stuff made out of cardboard.

They are better off delaying. Chances are whatever the paid service is will have some weird caveat and that would put a damper on the positive reception/sales the Switch has.

For 3d games Galaxy is still the best, even though odyssey was terrific.

I never knew that some games were later “patched” in subsequent manufacturing runs to fix bugs.

It was good I think. It makes sense to port Wii U games given the limited audience they had the first time around.

That is pretty cool, but where is the globe?

That is actually a good idea for mobile.

@YANDMAN I’ll believe it when we get a firm release date and game footage.

Right now the only games on the horizon for me are Bayo 1 & 2 and Yakuza 6

@tourjeff SMT 5 is confirmed as well.

Highly doubt it.

@KIRO from what I read, PC gaming is the predominant platform in Russia. Also piracy is rampant there.

@Hotfusion I guess it depends on what metric “biggest” is measured against. Landmass is certainly 1, but by economic activity and population it is bottom half of the top ten.

In Soviet Russia you don’t get Switch, Switch gets you!

Persona and Yakuza are firmly entrenched PlayStation titles, highly doubt Switch is getting those. As far as GTAV, unless Take 2 can get GTA Online to work with Nintendo’s infrastructure, then no way that is getting ported either.

@Aerona I half expected the kid with the broom on the casino planet to break out into a rendition of “castle on a cloud” from Les Miserables.

@Aerona I mostly enjoyed TLJ, but it did have some serious issues story wise and several eye roll moments like Leia Poppins.

I wonder if Leia Poppins would have been a playable character?

Maybe the “big studios” will develop new games for the Switch now given its success.

@Bunkerneath people can be absolutely addicted to their phones. In fact, app developers apply psychological principles to hook people.

@JHDK addiction is more than willpower. Have you ever taken a biology or psychology course? perpetuating stereotypes is not helpful.

@Crono1973 all of these arguments are subjective. Again “less for the money”? Compared to what other hybrid console?

@Crono1973 that’s your opinion. “Under featured” is an argument I don’t buy since it’s apples to oranges. The Switch’s main feature is portability and on TV play. “Underpowered” is a bit specious as well since the Switch is designed to play games designed for it, it has enough power for what it is doing.

@Crono1973 it’s pretty disingenuous to compare the price of a system that hasn’t even been out a year to systems that have been out for over 4 years and had an original MSRP of $399 USD. You know the price will drop in time, as they always do.

@VinnieMii I think that is a safe bet that it will come to Switch.

Most of these seem feeseible with the exception of “proper online infrastructure”. I don’t think Nintendo can pull that one off. GTAV is a total long shot, unless Take-Two/R* can get GTA Online to work seamlessly since that is their cash cow.

I love the art style, it should hold up nicely as time passes.

I tried Stern the other night and I didn’t care for it. Pinball FX 3 is so much better.

I think part of Stern’s problem is only having the Frankenstein table to play from the god-awful film version by Branagh and DeNiro. They could have given a better table IMO.

“But I think at this point, we’re not really at the stage where we want to talk about where Breath of the Wild is in the timeline”

Lol, because the timeline is completely nonsensical?

So Nintendo still does that odd “eShop refreshes at a specific time” thing? Steamworld heist wasn’t available to buy when I checked a minute ago.

I still contend BotW was good, not great. The framework for a great game is there, but it wasn’t executed well. One highlight was Hyrule Castle, I loved the way it was designed and it felt like a real place. BotW needed more of places like that to explore along with caves etc. and way fewer shrines.

Merry Christmas and Happy Boxing Day as well.

No, the shrines were repetitive and mostly boring. Had the overworld been less empty and had more things to see and explore (ruins, caves, etc) then their design choices would have been fine.

Yeah, I don’t like that art style.

Open world be fine as long as they improve on what they started in BotW. Remove the weapon durability nonsense, add meaning side quests, add places to explore other than copy and paste shrines, and have an actual interesting story.

Confirmed: Nintendo is building an actual Metal Gear.

@Biff_ARMStrong yeah between that and Little Nightmares, plus the myriad of things I haven’t played, indies had a nice year.

It’s good, not great though.

Super Mario Odyssey for me, I loved that game. BotW just didn’t click with me like past Zelda games.

Article of the year right here. Lol

@yeayeanaynay I’m sure you are right about that, but I am in the “please god, not Skyward Sword” camp. I really did’nt like it.

@yeayeanaynay I really want Wind Waker and Twilight Princess HD on Switch as well.

This DLC is pretty disappointing, hardly the “story DLC” it was billed as.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE welcome to the dark side! Lol. Enjoy

Just finished Steamworld Dig 2, look forward to this one.

Nice to see Nintendo sell well. I don’t see many TV commercials though, even on the stations that have usually have PS4/Xbox ones.

Ouch!

Maybe I’m in the minority, but I would love if Nintendo ported a bunch of Wii U games this year for Switch. I would double dip on Wind Waker and Twilight Princess HD for sure. Smash would certainly sell like gangbusters.

@faustcoolio yeah, it’s pretty disappointing especially when billed as “Story DLC”. Uninspired is how I would describe it at a minimum.
