@Knuckles-Fajita here’s the thing though- both franchises started on Nintendo; both have developers and creators that love working with Nintendo. These people still have sway in certain respects. Maybe we could see more crossovers in the days ahead. Anything is possible.
I own a PS4 as well as a Switch and while too will lament Requiem not coming to the latter system, I’ll still grab the game for my PS4. Now if we could get Nintendo and Konami to release the classic GBA/DS Castlevania bits on Switch or 3DS, I’d be very happy.
My hope is that these components and ports will be released in the near future and they will be available to purchase and not rent. Having a backlog of classics is great but to only have access as a subscription perk is nonsensical; some of us want to own, play and preserve classic titles indefinitely...
@justin233 I think it’s the novelty of owning a guide book with bits of trivia, concept art and learning a few tricks here and there. why does anyone do anything really? I wouldn’t mind having one of these just for the fun of it, despite already knowing this series and its components like the back of my hand...
@saintayu only good bit that came about from this (I say this lightly) venture was the YTP bits I used to watch with a friend several years back. Looking atthem now, I still question my sanity. 😅
@Floria that much is obvious and you clearly didn’t read my first comment.
Although- I was admittedly being a wee bit facetious and making a reference to something along the lines of “Shh- let people enjoy things...” meme I saw a while back. 🤣
@AlexOlney seriously. These past few years have been a dreck emotionally, intellectually and financially. Let’s hope this is some good news for the very near future. TT__TT
I’ve learned early on not to adopt new tech or services on day one; too many bugs and patches to be added later usually offers a bumpy experience. I’m sure the service will get better in time but for now, I’ll wait and see how it plays out.
I loved No More Heroes and I would love to see this, the Viewtiful Joe series and the first four Resident Evil games for the GameCube to eventually hit the Switch.
(Also- would also love to see Viewtiful Joe in the next Super Smash Bros as well as Travis Touchdown! How fun would that be??)
I want more info on Metroid Prime 4; not hearing anything about it bothers me.
Isabelle in Smash? An odd addition for sure but I’m not gonna complain; I’m sure there are several other characters to be revealed in the coming months.
Luigi’s Mansion 3 was a nice surprise, definitely grabbing that one.
Nintendo Online didn’t wow me; as I expected, I’m sure it’ll be better after a few months or so. Especially if they add SNES, N64, GBA, GC titles...
Everything else was a mixed bag, some releases look fun, some had me scratching my head and others didn’t appeal to me much.
Definitely gonna put some money on the side for some of these releases but I’m in no rush to purchase them all on their respective release day. I can wait and hopefully some of these will be more entertaining than expected. I’m in no rush to gather most of these future titles, especially the online bit.
I adore this game and I adore Yacht Club Games. I would love to see them try their hand at paying tribute to the 16-32 bit era of gaming next. Looking forward to this new DLC; hoping we get a sequel one of these days as well.

Re: It Sucks To Say It, But Castlevania Requiem Isn't Coming To Switch
@Fight_Teza_Fight not so much; more disappointed it’s not coming to the Switch. Oh well.

@electrolite77 you sound like a vindictive little gobshite. Go bugger off and play with yourself elsewhere.

@Cobalt do you ever shut up? Probably not.

Re: Random: Reggie Sparks Metroid Game Awards Reveal Rumours With Tasteful Choice Of Shirt
Sincerely hope we get some more news on MP4 and hoping we get the MP HD Collection on Switch as well. I need more Metroid in my life.
Re: Soapbox: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is Worthy of its Name
@locky-mavo oh I do, I do indeed. -shudders-
Re: Soapbox: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is Worthy of its Name
@locky-mavo I think it’s hilarious though.
Re: Soapbox: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is Worthy of its Name
@locky-mavo Not really.

@RazorThin hehe, true dat’. Insanity is indeed subjective, non?
Re: Shovel Knight Digs A Fight In Ubisoft's Free-To-Play Platform Fighter Brawlhalla
I might get Brawlhala just because of this announcement.
Re: Sakurai Warns Smash Bros. Fans That New Character Reveals Will Slow Down From Now On
Sakurai is truly a wonderful man for doing all of this for us; we clearly don’t deserve him but he still works his magic anyway.
Thank you for everything you do, Sakurai-Sama.
Re: Experience PlayStation One Era Graphics On Switch With Survival Horror Back In 1995
This looks neat but I might not pay full price for it. We’ll see...
Re: Soapbox: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is Worthy of its Name
@locky-mavo no.
Re: Soapbox: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is Worthy of its Name
@USWITCH64 I love the smash franchise but I concur that the 3DS version wasn’t the best. All the rest are spectacular though.
Re: Soapbox: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is Worthy of its Name
I didn’t expect anything less than stellar impressions. Can’t wait until December.

Re: The Mystery 'Nut Pokémon' Officially Revealed As 'Meltan', Will Appear In Let's Go Pikachu & Eevee
@DrJiggle I’m on my phone but I would’ve posted Arnold Schwarzenegger attempting to smile in T2 as a response to your post. Well done, Doc.
Re: The Mystery 'Nut Pokémon' Officially Revealed As 'Meltan', Will Appear In Let's Go Pikachu & Eevee
It’s just a ditto with a nut for a head and a tail. Lol, what a lazy design...

Re: This Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Guidebook Will Teach You Everything You Need To Know
This looks fun; I collect coffee table books from time to time so this would be a cool addition to my collection.

Re: Random: Fans Ask For A Philips CD-i Classic, Philips Says "We Will Try Our Best"
Further proof that the worst part of any fandom is the fandom itself.
I never knew there was a CD-I fan base and now I really wish there wasn’t...
Nintendo, please do not heed their call, these people are not well in the head.
Please disregard any talk of a CD-I revival on present or future systems...
Re: Opinion: What Did You Think Of Today's Nintendo Direct?
@Blizzia ya give me a wee bit o’ hope with that.

Re: Hold Me, Virtual Console Data Has Been Discovered In The Nintendo Switch eShop
@hiptanaka good question... time will tell, eh?
Re: Hold Me, Virtual Console Data Has Been Discovered In The Nintendo Switch eShop
@Floria shhhhhh. It just might happen. Go be a Debbie downer somewhere else.
Re: Hold Me, Virtual Console Data Has Been Discovered In The Nintendo Switch eShop
@hiptanaka new peripherals/attachments are made every day...

Re: Hold Me, Virtual Console Data Has Been Discovered In The Nintendo Switch eShop
Fingers crossed this is real and we get to see some of our favorites make it onto the console. Be still, my beating heart!
Re: Soapbox: We Like To Grumble, But Nintendo Switch Online Is Actually A Very Generous Offer
The service as it stands right now is complete rubbish and vast improvements need to be made or a great number of the community is gonna ditch it.

Re: NES Games On Switch Playable For Up To Seven Days Without Internet Connection
This online venture sounds worse and worse everyday. I’m definitely not getting it now.

Re: New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe Coming to Nintendo Switch in January

Re: Professor Layton And The Curious Village Will Be Released On Mobile In The West
