I was skeptical at first, but because your opponent gets 3 prize cards for defeating one of these instead of the typical 2 for a gx, I’m cool with it. I’m looking forward to some great designs.
If it went down in price I’d buy it immediately but more than $300 (you need an sd card too) for a console with one killer exclusive is asking too much (I have a Wii U if I want to play Mariokart, Splatoon, or Zelda). Smash looked nice but it’s still 6 months out and there weren’t many announcements for 1st party Nintendo games.
Luigi’s Mansion 3 gets announced. Or there is way too much labor stuff. I don’t know which one will happen or if both will, but at least one of those two will.
Probably some Overwatch for Junkenstein’s Revenge and definitely some more Samus Returns. Also some SNES Classic, I’ve been playing Super Mario World, F-Zero, Super Mario Kart, and the surprisingly good Kirby’s Dream Course.
You know, now that we know they are making new Metroid games, the reaction to this game seems kind of silly. I never even thought of getting it either.
Considering how much we begged for a new 2D Metroid game, we NEED to buy this one. In order to show Nintendo that listening to fans can work and that Metroid can make money, everyone who asked for this during the past decade needs to show support for it.
Honestly this is the first game that has made me want a Switch. It is the first game besides Arms that I can't play on my Wii U or any other platform, and I am a huge Splatoon fan.
I wish we got more high quality indie games like this on the eshop. Sure there are quite a few, but for every good one there are at least 5 mediocre ones.
I think of the Wii U as a GameCube, but swap most of the 3rd party support for stable online and a VC. It had amazing first party games, great local co-op, and I really liked mine.
@GameOtaku I think allowing modding is cool, especially some of the Smashbros ones that I have seen. Look at how much valve benefited from mods. Nintendo has always been hesitant to allow people to touch their stuff, and that includes fans.
It sucks that Nintendo is against fan games but it's understandable. I don't understand why anyone would make a fan game nowadays with copyright law. I also think Nintendo has done some of the best work with Indies and they have learned a little bit about quality control with the Wii U and 3DS eshop.

Re: Nintendo's Share Price Plummets In Response To E3 Direct

FE Heroes is great and I haven’t spent a dime on it so hopefully this one is just as good.
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - The Triumphant(?) Return
Probably some Overwatch for Junkenstein’s Revenge and definitely some more Samus Returns. Also some SNES Classic, I’ve been playing Super Mario World, F-Zero, Super Mario Kart, and the surprisingly good Kirby’s Dream Course.
Re: Feature: 20 Games That Aren't On The SNES Classic Mini, But Really Should Be
I would add in one of the Japan only FE games or NBA Jam as well but that's a solid list. Maybe FF 5?
Re: Poll: A Retro Quest - Were You Able to Buy a Super NES Classic Edition / SNES Mini?
I actually got one! I sat on a bench for an hour and a half at my local Meijer with 12 other fans. They had 14 total and everyone got one.
Re: Feature: What We Expect from the Nintendo Direct - 13th September
A crazy one I wish we would get: Pikmin 4.
Re: Review: Metroid: Samus Returns (3DS)
It's very important that Nintendo fans support this game if they want Nintendo to keep making Metroid games.

Re: Feature: A Long Journey Through Metroid Prime: Federation Force
You know, now that we know they are making new Metroid games, the reaction to this game seems kind of silly. I never even thought of getting it either.
Re: Report Suggests Nintendo Switch Manufacturing Could Hit 18 Million This Year
If only SNES Classic production could be a quarter of that size...
Re: References To Virtual Reality Discovered In Switch's Code
Is the VR market even lucrative enough for Nintendo to jump into it?
Re: Rocket League Is Getting Free Nintendo-Themed Battle-Cars At Launch
This game is insanely fun and worth $60. It costs $20. Need I say more?
Re: Guide: Where to Pre-Order Your Super NES Classic Edition
So glad I bought a PS4 over a Switch
Re: Video: Let's Have a Look at the SNES Classic Edition's Menus & Save State Features
If I can't get one I'm going to pirate every single game on it instead.
Re: Hoenn Pokémon Data Has Been Spotted in the Latest Pokémon GO Update
Wow. I'm guessing next summer is when we will see a full gen 3 release. They have 6 more legendaries at most, so I think it's pretty likely.
Re: Random: Pokémon Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon has a New 'Photo Club' Mode, and Kanto Could Return
I was kind of hoping they were doing kanto remakes instead so now idk what to think...
Re: Series Producer Yoshio Sakamoto Is Interested In Making Another 2D Metroid
@Aaron09 @Kalmaro
A 2D Metroid game on Switch won't happen if this isn't successful though.

Re: Random: GameCube Listings on Nintendo Websites Raise Hopes for Switch, But Don't Get Too Excited
I wish they could make a GameCube classic edition but it would be way too expensive and they probably won't.
Re: Dragon Quest Builders 2 Confirmed for Nintendo Switch
It's not my cup of tea but I've heard the original was fun so maybe I will check it out.
Re: First Three Dragon Quest Titles Heading to the 3DS in Japan
I would buy them! I never played these 3 and I've heard 3 is awesome.
Re: Reminder: Legendary Bird Moltres Is Now Live In Pokémon GO
Still have yet to get a legendary but I did 1v6 a gym earlier so that was cool.
Re: 'Twilight Zone' Stage to Give Splatoon 2 a New Twist During Upcoming Splatfest
That's so cool, but I'm surprised that they can use it free from the trademark.
Re: Editorial: amiibo Has Stalled, Because Nintendo is Forgetting What Makes It Special
I've never gotten into Amiibo because it has ALWAYS been minor unlocks that definitely aren't worth the price tag.
Re: Trademark Application Has Fans Dreaming of the Nintendo 64 Classic Mini
It might not have had the best library of games but I would still take one.
Re: Review: Splatoon 2 (Switch)
Honestly this is the first game that has made me want a Switch. It is the first game besides Arms that I can't play on my Wii U or any other platform, and I am a huge Splatoon fan.
Re: Review: Implosion (Switch eShop)
I wish we got more high quality indie games like this on the eshop. Sure there are quite a few, but for every good one there are at least 5 mediocre ones.
Re: Oddworld Creator Lorne Lanning "Has No Faith" In Switch
I think of the Wii U as a GameCube, but swap most of the 3rd party support for stable online and a VC. It had amazing first party games, great local co-op, and I really liked mine.
Re: Deals: Pick Up A Nintendo Switch On Amazon US Today
If you want one, grab it before Splatoon 2 comes out!
Re: Nintendo Download: 29th June (Europe)
BOTW DLC on Wii U is ridiculously big compared to the Switch file size.

This thing will be my birthday present if I can actually find one...

Re: Reggie Fils-Aimé Defends Nintendo's Indie Support and AM2R Policy
@GameOtaku
Taking away sales of Metroid 2 on the eshop or taking away potential sales of the remake they are making I guess.

Re: Feature: The (Sadly Fictional) Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo Switch Fighter Ballot - Results!
Inkling was the real winner, and with good reason. The rest of the picks aren't too bad either.
Re: According to this Teaser the Future of Sega is Gazing Out of Windows Philosophically
Teasing a console maybe? The 90's nostalgia craze is in full swing and Atari is making a new console so anything is possible.
Re: First Impressions: Showing our Hand in Culdcept Revolt on Nintendo 3DS
Does this have online multiplayer?
Re: Pokémon GO's Biggest Update Yet Brings Gym Badges, New Items And Raid Battles
The Pokémon limit is fine but the rest of the changes are unnecessary.
Re: Capcom Not Confirming Plans for Monster Hunter XX on Switch in the West 'At This Time'
BUT AT LEAST THE SWITCH ISN'T REGION LOCKED RIGHT??!?!? Joking aside, this is some bad news for Nintendo and its fans.
Re: Video: Producer Yoshio Sakamoto Dives Deep Into Metroid: Samus Returns On 3DS
