though Nintendo has always done great with backward compatibility with previous portables, I just don't see them adding DS/3DS to the next gen Switch this time (not hardware wise at least), I would love, but i also see why it could not be done

@thesilverbrick
it's hardly a "Zombie", perhaps you have given up on it, but far too many have not, the Wii U has been dying a slower death than it should have, it should have commited suicide by now and with Switch, it's functions pretty much make it obsolete, but 3ds is still loved and it does bring something to the table that Switch cannot, the two screen gameplay, I love mine, still play it couple times a week, because of its format, you can't just port games over to the Switch, and it just has such a huge library of such tremendously loved games, not as many people will. ditch it as you hope, so yah, the 3DS will remain both active and VERY relative for years to come

@YANDMAN
why would anyone try to hack those things ???
you go online looking to hack things like that and you find dozens of generic copies preloaded with over a 100 NES or SNES, PSX, N64 and I even saw a NGC once at a flea market, most all older systems depending, but for half the price you'd pay for your NES mini or SNES mini, you can find portables preloaded with a 100+ SNES games and all of these things sold for half that of the officials, (some of the better portables also hook up to your tv too)
there are also Raspberry Pi kits with official looking cases and you can load as many games you want,

so again, why would anyone want to hack those "Official Mini systems" ???

you know, it's bad enough many (female) anime' characters in games have over-exaggerated features, but why do they also have to have the face of a 12 year old ???

God help me if my youngest daughter sees this, I'll be in deep poo

@westman98
Milla Jovovich is a gorgeous face, this is true, but the only movie I like that she was in was a movie where her first scene was wearing a white ribbon across her breasts and another across her crotch....

even then, if you actually analyze her acting in that movie, she was hardly involved and every other movies i have seen her in larger parts were great disappointments, like some others, now that i know she is in a movie, I worry more, combind that with a videogame movie and I'm thinking a weapon of mass destruction for use against Russia or North Korea, it will cause them all to commit suicide

@TheGhostWhoWalks
not NL, themselves so much as certain article writers who try to scrounge around for anything on Google and reword then post, but usually with a lot of missing info making the readers actually go and search and find the info then share in the comments section, it happens far too much here

assuming a modest $40/copy x 37.14 million copies = $1,485,600,000 in sales, almost a BILLION and a half for just one game
Hell Yah !!!

@bluedogrulez
I am well over 40 and i didn't even like it for 15 seconds, but out of fairness, I am a hardcore Queen fan and that song disgusted me how he tore it up, I don't mind rap sampling songs, I like M.C. Hammer, but it sounded good, Ice Ice Baby was just wrong (opinion)

God help me i hated him so much, Jim Carrey did a parody if "Ice, Ice Baby" on In Living Color and it hit it on the mark, Vanilla Ice was so pathetic, he was the first person ejected from Dancing With The Stars, it was so humiliating

@Anti-Matter
Anti-Matter, I like you and everyone is entitled to their own choice of lifestyle, even their preferences for game types, but get this strait my friend...

you are not Jesus or Confucius, phrasing your personal positions as right and other are wrong being fact is not going to happen here, not that it matters because there is ABSOLUTELY NO PLACE FOR RELIGION OF ANY KIND, NOR POLITICAL PROPAGATION IN THESE FORUMS

this is for gaming related talk only, if you wish to assert your superiority, do it in facebook or some other appropriate venue, this site is not it,
even when i defend some preference of some game related subject that others may not, i still assure people, these are my opinions and don't judge those who do not agree with mine

you are losing your objectivity and becoming vain, so either play it cool or play somewhere else

@chardir
"Hobby Stuff",
LOL, Arduino is for "Hobbies", the various Raspberry Pi models are for the production of real and meaningful projects requiring actual computer functions, no, these devices or not for "Hobbies"

@LUIGITORNADO

it was simple, you want a talking Link, what voice actor do you think you would like to hear as the voice of Link (in game or in a show) ???

@UmbreonsPapa
Hmm...a suthun' drawl you say, Kathy Bates, a Memphis girl ???, well now you got me on my way to YouTube to check that out, damn, LOL

Other than Mario Kart, ii can't see a functional benefit for an 8 player controller setup, playing Mario Kart with 4 small screens on the one screen is bad enough, but 8 screens ??? and 8 players on Smash wouldn't be any less confusing, I like the ambitious idea, but the practicality is just not there

@UmbreonsPapa
I'd still like to hear a voice idea for Telma, I'm totally drawing a blank
unfortunately not a whole lot of female voice actors like there should be , so I'm having a hard time figuring who could do a Telma type character

@UmbreonsPapa I put that specific person for impa because I have known CCH Pounder to show a lighter side, but for the most part, Twilight Princess Impa is Zelda's personal guard and trainer of all the guards in the castle, she is a brusk and serious woman of both physical, but mental power too, i have seen Pounder play that type of role many times very well, and I love Jeremy Irons, and though he does have a tenor to his voice that gives him a gravelly tone, his English refinement still always comes through, even when he gets angry, I would be very confused hearing Alfred Pennyworth ordering Zelda's capture and my death, but had the right idea for sure

also think you're right about Robin, Scott Menville would make a great choice
I like the Telma addition, but for the life of me i can't thi.k who would do her right, what do you suggest ???

looks intriguing, I'm on the fence though, I think the final price and/or if there will be a physical copy will sell me or not

Any idea if Knuckles 1, 2 & 3 will be on it ???
(I say S&K 2 separately from S&K 3, because When S2 was joined with K1, it had totally different levels than when joined with S3)

I would REALLY appreciate Nintendo putting some more gameplay footage of Yoshi out there, the little footage that is out there really just doesn't express what people really want to know about the game, just him walking and flipping sides, i want to see more and ESPECIALLY actual in depth gameplay

@LUIGITORNADO
like i said, make some suggestions for who you would like to hear the voice of Link to be, my post (#34) listed several actors I think could pull off some characters

think of some movies and tv shows youve seen, think of what you would like Link to look like (and his persona) in an animated show and figure out the best combination (Just anything but the frivolous, smartass prankster they made him in the original tv series)

don't wish for a talking Link.....Make Him Talk !!!

@LUIGITORNADO
get off your but then, look at post number #34 then make some suggestions of your own

@UmbreonsPapa
people have such a tremendously high standard for Zelda and Metroid, anything short of a top notch (like millions dollars per major actor) cast and production fx companies like ILM (with a Star Wars budget) and a majorly over paid awesome director familiar with each type of movie will do, like Peter Jackson for a Zelda type movie and Michael Bay for a Metroid like movie, otherwise people will be so brought down by their own over expectations, it would probably hurt the game series big

God help me i hope they don't screw th pooch like they did on the original

I got an idea.....list voice actors you would like to play which characters

Pig Ganon: Powers Booth
Gannondorf: Michael Ironside

Twilight Pincess Impa: CCH Pounder
Zelda: Dana Delaney
Sahasrala: Scott Rummell
Link: Michael Rosenbaum
misc. males: Frank Welker
misc. females: Maria Canels-Barrera

God help me i luvs my Raspberry Pi's, I'm fixing to get the 3 B+ next month for a special project that most people use Arduinos for, but the Duino is too limited for what I need the 3 B+ for

I was also considering making a PSX out of another 3 B+ in March just for fun and i miss my PSX and games

(and before anyone says "Naughty, naughty, those need ROMs", let me reassure you I don't give a shnizzit about games that have not only been out of production in forever, but I owned the hard copies, so as far as I'm legitimizing, I'm playing backups, so judge me, but also floss your teeth with the hair on my tukus for judging me !!!)

@BulbasaurusRex
I was talking all 8 movies as separate games

I really want this game, being so much like Gauntlet, but mainly due to the very over priced nature, I've never been an Amiibo person myself, just never saw the point

@BulbasaurusRex when i said a compilation of all 8, I'm actually talking all 8 games, not hacked versions squeezed down into a single game like the Star Wars Complete Saga did, I'm talking the full version of each individuals like the Mega Man Legacy games

well, just binged watched both seasons today and I have to say I loved it, a lot, well written, acted, it looks great, even the music, I'm not going to spoil, but i hope they do a third season

even if you've never played or heard of Castlevania or even don't care for anime', this show will change your mind, I especially love the "odd couple" thing going on between Trevor and Alucard

@jpfan1989
I personally loved the 1st AvP movie, not the others so much, I don't know this Anderson guy, I do like that movie, I own most Alien, Predator, Alien/Predator and the first Prometheus movie because I generally like them as a franchise, but some could have been better done, have not seen Prometheus 2 yet, so can't judge.

but as actual videogame movies go (the ones directly converted, not ones about videogames) I have yet to be completely or even mildly impressed, except for the Tron series, awesomely done, both, anyway, it's just too hard to squeeze a whole game mythos into a 90-120 minute movie, plus since no one wants to spend a really large budget on those types of movies, it's difficult to get decent resources and actors, so at best, mediocre movies are made, but usually not even that,

even with some better actors, videogames just have too much trouble, I saw DOOM was on Netflix the other day, so i checked it out, by the end i felt I wasted 2 hours of my life, it sucked, Castlevania interestingly is an AWESOME show, animated, but fantastically done, I just think, even though I'd like to see some games on the silver screen, like Metroid or a live Knuckles the Echidna, and DEFINITELY the Force Unleashed, I'm positive they just can't be done right at all

@Meaty-cheeky
I remember when i got my first Genesis, Sonic was such a unique game compared to other side scrollers, the following 2, 3 and Sonic/Knuckles was worth the price of the system alone

it would not be the first time Nintendo had held back some techs for use at a later time when it would be better or easier to implement

I don't recall having headphone volume control on my Genesis....
now that i think of it, I don't remember a headphone jack at all ???

I guess there was a lot of changes between the Mega Drive and the Genesis in the west, curious

@jpfan1989
but AvP wasn't originally a game, it was a popular comic book series first

but what was Capcom's operating cost at the time that 110% was taken ???

that number can be VERY deceptive

So many injustices in this world, so many unfairnesses, so many terrible people and governments corrupted, but people remain silent, yet so much fervor and passion over a missing character from a game........

Pathetic

tis still my opinion the dragons shown in the preview and the picture above look more like plastic models, very detailed and nice looking, but it still just looks like those high dollar table top D&D figures, not even the incredibly realistic puppet used in the 80's movie "Dragonslayer", nor cgi, which i guess cgi that does not look like cgi is a good think, it still looks terribly fake will this movie be the next Mario Bros. or Resident Evil (not bad but not a very good representation of the game), or the very bad DOOM ??? who knows, but as videogame movies go, they don't have a very good record and neither do most Jovovitch movies

I guess not

Me say letting gamers know about "Fund-Me" good !!!
but not limited to personal preference of the article writer,
and others not allowed to speak of such things is unfair

(God help me I hope that is simple enough)

clever and beautiful imagry, but I would have rather seen actual gameplay footage, too many times have I seen great possibilities and turn out to be rather disappointing, yes, I'd rather see the game and not opening scenes or cut scenes

@goggles789
my problem is most certainly NOT against the advertising of the "fund-me" pages myself, had you read through my whole statement, I had one issue, the hypocrisy of advertising such pages when it is against policy for forums to do as such because it is unfair to the many of others, i said also that i understood if the propagater of the "fund-me" page actually paid to advertize, I also even suggested a prioritized forum page for "fund-me" pages to be advertised by the owners.

next time read before you question a person's comments

I'm personally not a fan of Mario Party games, but I do recognize that it is very popular with a large number of players, and with over a thousand games out (that includes all the Indies/Nindies), being in 8th place is an accomplishment, but the way it was worded made it sound like it was a bad thing.

is there a video for this game ???
I love Chibi memorabilia, Einstein and Tesla are on my work desk displayed prominently, but God I HATE chibi style games, I accept babied style games if it is appropriate to the theme of the game, (FF- 6 & FF-XV being a BIG example of NOT appropriate to the game's theme).

I am a very aesthetically minded person when it comes to my games, and converting or producing such mashed up games just doesn't fly, I'm all for graphically upgraded games, but don't screw them just because chibi has hit a popularity high !!!

@TuragaNuva
Fantastic Beasts is ztill current and I would love a related Lego game, so is Star Wars, and yes, Potter memorabilia is selling still, but are usually less costing and have a larger fan base, remember, you're not just playing to videogame players, and not even just Lego game players (because not all Lego game players are Lego Potter fans), so they have to attempt to interest a very specific Harry Potter Lego game players, and again, unless it's an all in one, the Potter players would likely less interested than they were 5 years ago when the last game came out and I just don't think they can pull it off

@sleepinglion
I totally agree with a Star Wars compilation, but only because it is still relevant, with continued production of new movies and the planned "The Mandalorian" broadcast series (they killed the movie, but went with a tv show), again, it's still fresh and up to date series, Potter and LOTR games are dead and probably would not recover the cost to make the games very well

Both me and my wife love the Lego games (including Potter), but I think trying to port Lego Potter is not a smart move, the popularity of Potter, though pretty firm on the book and movie front, the games were based on the current (at the time) up to date popularity, the last movie (8-pt 2), was released in 2011, the game in 2016, but it still had a small game fan base, but it didn't sell well, now putting out a Potter porter (probably 2019) 8 years after the last movie is not a good call.

I think the only way they can get away with it would be a massive 1-8 compilation, I think even separate 1-4 & 5-8 compilation would not be received well

not a good decision

What's that big black circle on the back ???
my Switch doesn't have one, so I'm very curious ???

you know, most protection envelopes for cellphones cover most surfaces and the screen area is raised around the border, some are pretty rugged and awesome, but even then, dropped just right the screen is still susceptible but far reduced chance, the only things these protect is the rails, kind of a waste, if you were to make one, reproduce the more effective cellphone designs, but leave the rails open.

hell, constantly taking the rails off and putting on so they can charge, (even when the Switch is unplugged), people will get very tired, REALLY quick and chuck them in the trash

***

I'm also very curious, isn't advertising fund-me sites against some kind of policy, seems kind of unfair to a lot of others who are making game or system related items, do these people pay for the adds ???
or is it a personal ad from the article writer ??? (in which again be unfair to others)
frankly I think this and other unpaid advertising fund-me articles (even ones for seemingly good items/games) should be removed/disallowed,
either that or change the policy on the forums about advertising products/sites, an application to advertise on a special, prioritized forum page, this unfair policy needs to be changed

@mgnoodle
it was incredibly frustrating, but also trying to play through, it was just Very unfulfilling also

it took me a bit to get into it, but i shelled out $66 (after tax), I was going to play through, but as i got into it, I liked it more and more, I (personal opinion) think it's a great game and would like to see another after New Super Mario U, for Switch in 2019

I will recognize that Binding of Isaac falls less under "Creepy" and more like "Incredibly Disturbing", I mean, no matter how many times you play it, a baby running around doing some (and having some) gruesome shnizzit is pretty bad, it wasn't very fun, I see the unique novelty that drew/draws so many people to it, but take away some of it and it was pretty boring for me, it was the first (and as yet only) Switch game I have traded away

(remember this is "personal opinion", so no one get insulted like some people do here)
