Although 2015 was pretty bad if you were a nintendo fan this year has been pretty disappointing. Considering nintendo only have to code for one machine now and they hsve gathered most teams in 2 buildings their output is underwhelming. They seem to refuse to listen to the fans of franchises other than Zelda, Mario and Kirby. I know there are hundreds of titles available but there is so much shovelware on the eshop! Been thinking about this for almost a year now and decided to stop wasting time and money on mediocre titles and bought an Xbox one S at the weekend. Wow I was stunned by the quality of titles available. Game pass and live makes nintendo online look a joke. I have supported nintendo through thick and thin since 1998. Fantastic titles throughout that time till now. I'm still hoping to support nintendo but they need to pull their socks up or they will find themselves back in 2015 as soon as their revival in 2017.
I've on just started buying from LRG. I felt a little let down after the Street Of Rage 4 multi release fiasco.
I'm not sure that I will support any more future titles. I'm not a fan of a ' digital only' game only to discover there's a limited physical release later down the road once I've purchased the 'digital only'.
This was my fav gamecube title. Love the series and soundtracks so much I bought all the cds. I need a little more information on the remastered title though before purchasing. There seems to be so many remasters these days and sometimes I feel a little disappointed when its just enhanced graphics with no extras.
However for all you who perhaps weren't around the first time I absolutely recommend the first rate title. It's not Final Fantasy it's Chronicles. It's a great series!
I hope this is successful enough for Square-Enix to remaster the ds and wii titles. They would be day one purchases for me. A chance to play on the tv would be reason enough.
Hoping the 14th May announcement for PGA 2K20 will cater for my virtual golfing needs rather than this and the numerous mini golf games available for switch. Please come to nintendo switch.
Unlike the wii U or even the 3ds sections of eshop competition is huge on nintendo switch. So many titles, so much choice every week. Games released almost on a daily basis there is a massive choice of genres available.
I wish him every success with his latest venture as it must very difficult to stand out amongst all the mediocre titles and constant sales.
Most genres are covered but there are still gaps here and there. A decent / fantasy golf sim for example.
If you could fill that spot please that'll be sweet! Mudd Golf anyone?
Finally my physical version of Animal Crossing arrived this week. So I will be mostly playing that and trying to complete Layers of Fear which has turned out to be be far better and addictive than I first thought. Happy gaming all and be safe.
@Angelic_Lapras_King Happy times weren't they. I remember the day so well because I saw G-Loc 360 and a 4 player Virtua Racing for the first time and I was gob-smacked.
Pretty sure I played this many years ago in SEGA world Bournemouth. It is possible to play via emulation today but not ideal as you need the track ball.
I'd prefer more titles from model 1/2/3 e.g.. Wing War, Virtua Fighter, sega Rally etc. Or even a SEGA mega drive classics volume 2 or another console collection.
Seeing as my Animal Crossing Physical has been lost in the post?? I'll start playing one of the South Park games I downloaded from the eshop sale. Which one should I start first?
@jwfurness I totally agree with your comment. Years ago nintendo were knocking out titles left, right and centre on a monthly basis for multiple consoles?! Now with one main console they should be doing better than this. However with the current situation I do understand that was possibly the going to be a larger showcase than the one broadcast.
Looking forward to Burnout, Clubhouse Games and my copy of Animal Crossing which is stuck in the post system somewhere in the uk.
I started playing Shining Resonance this week. I'm really enjoying it so far. Graphically it's not the best but I am enjoying this far more than Xenoblade series due to its faster pace and it's combat system. I'd recommend you give it try whilst it's on sale on eshop.
Soul Caliber Tekken Ridge Racer Alpine Racer In fact any of your fantastic ip that is under 20 years old would be welcome. You know like a namco museum 2000 edition. Not the ancient versions that gamers have played over and over. Don't do a SEGA, namco!
Well I'd like to have another Classics collection please SEGA? Maybe Sega Saturn or dreamcast collection. Master System would be the easy option but I'm not sure it would sell well. Failing that a collection of Sega Ages games released so far. Looking forward to Project Diva the most!
My favourite N64 games. I don't think they could be released on virtual console due to size restrictions at the time. There is a huge fantastic soundtrack with these games.
The first game was ok. I'll wait for reviews before investing in this one. Hoping for better handling and more dynamic camera angles and a good replay feature.
Would really like Raw Thrills to have an agreement with nintendo to bring Cruisin Blast to the switch. Play this fantastic game regularly at my local arcade.
I was looking forward to this game hoping to finally have a golf sim on Switch. Really disappointing controls, lack of courses and characters seem lifeless.
This could of been so much more if a little more effort and time were spent on it.
Go Vacation is fantastic fun but only has mini golf. The Switch is really missing Mario Golf. Anybody know if A version of Pangya is on the cards for switch? That would be a dream come true for me along with Advance Wars.

Re: Video: Clubhouse Games: 51 Worldwide Classics Trailer Shows Off All 51 Games

Re: Feature: The Best Nintendo Switch Music And Rhythm Games
Groove Coaster is my favourite from this line up.
Looking forward to Project Diva the most. When's it coming out SEGA? Will it be physical and will there be a special edition?
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (April 11th)

@Bisylizzie Blimey what a polava!
Thanks for confirmation.
Re: Nintendo Reiterates Plans For Animal Crossing: New Horizons Save Data Workarounds
Does this mean you cannot transfer the island from a main switch console to your switch lite and back again?
Please clarify? If not? ridiculous!

Re: SoulCalibur VI Producer Still Not Sure About Porting The Game To Switch
Plain and simple yes please namco.
Soul Caliber
Tekken
Ridge Racer
Alpine Racer
In fact any of your fantastic ip that is under 20 years old would be welcome.
You know like a namco museum 2000 edition.
Not the ancient versions that gamers have played over and over. Don't do a SEGA, namco!
Re: Rumour: The Major Switch Title This Holiday Season Could Have "Tires" In It

Probably Mario kart tho.
Or how about super racin' bros?
Re: Sega Set To Reveal "Unannounced Game" At This Year's Taipei Game Show

Re: Hey Nintendo, Can We Please Have Famicom Wars?

Re: Konami Hasn't Completely Forgotten About Its Mystical Ninja Goemon
Yes please Konami !
My favourite N64 games. I don't think they could be released on virtual console due to size restrictions at the time. There is a huge fantastic soundtrack with these games.
HD remastered welcome or new I don't mind.
Re: Nintendo Switch Is About To Get A New And Exclusive Arcade Golf Game
This is good news. Golf games are always welcome.
I would prefer a proper golf or fantasy arcade like game like Pangya!
I really miss playing Pangya.
Massive hole in the Switch market that some dev must be planning to fill surely?
Re: Nintendo 'Indie World' Showcase Announced For Monday 19th August
I'd quite like a decent golf game please anyone? Pangya- like or realistic just as long as there is more than one course.

Re: Review: Sports Party - A Wii Sports-Style Social Experience That Sadly Lacks Depth
