It would be a day one purchase for me for sure.

@MikaelForslind Thanks. I just pre-ordered it.

Don't see it on the Nintendo eShop for pre-order.

@Silly_G if you have put in 200 hours in to any game, I'd say you got your money's worth and then some. In fact, the fact that you played AC for over 2 months straight to me means the game was a good purchase for you.

I think people's expectations of what AC should be for them is a tad out of whack.

No offense to anyone though. I'm just saying you paid about $50 and got a game that you played (and likely enjoyed for the most part) for over two months. That's not a bad thing.

THIS is why I buy games in PHYSICAL form. When you buy something digital, you are NOT buying it. You are RENTING it.

Stop being played by the system.

Cracks me up that the 3DS still sales more units each week than the XBOX ONE. I still very much love my 3DS. If the Switch Light would have had a clam shell built in and play all 3DS games, I would have bought one in a heart beat.

I'm officially pissed off at Covid-19 now. Stupid virus messing with my gaming news. That's too far.

@kepsux I was very excited about getting Kid Icarus: Uprising back when it came out, and.... it was not good. I was so disappointed with it. If they gave that game a perfect review, then I have to question their reviews as being relevant to me.

If this was half off in America, I would buy one for sure. I'm not paying $59.99 for a couple controllers that I will use maybe once every other month.

It's all fun and games until your Switch is bricked. There is no way in hell I am trying any dock other than one made directly by Nintendo. Nope. No. Nada. Nein.

If they made the NES, SNES, Gamecube, and N64 (with built in HDMI output) that was 100% compatible with all original cartridges/CDs, I would ***HAPPILY*** buy one of each and be buying the games.

There's literally no reason for Nintendo to not be making money off of their existing products and game library.

The way to handle this is to update the systems for HDMI and replace parts with newer parts that "do the same thing" while being more efficient and less expensive. Sale them from the Nintendo online store rather than at retailers because it is going to be a niche audience and would fail most likely if they were to ship millions of units to retailers.

Then just have all of the games (ALL OF THEM!!!) purchasable from the Nintendo online store and create them on purchase. There's literally no reason to have a million copies of Mother sitting in a warehouse. Just create the cartridge when it is ordered online, and ship it out.

Nintendo is leaving tons of money on the table by not doing this right now.

That list sucked. Gengar should have been number 1.

Everybody should temper their expectations some on any announcements coming out soon. As much as we would like to believe that everything is fine and dandy, the corona virus is having an affect on all businesses. Japan is dealing with the virus right now as we speak. An announcement for games coming out this year kind of takes a back seat to health. Cut them some slack and be patient.

Stardew Valley is the best game on the list.

Hmmm... four games I never owned as a kid. I'll try each of them of course. Not super excited though.

Looks like fun, and the price seems perfect.

Just ordered mine! Thanks.

Bring all Persona games to Switch in Physical form for us collectors please.

@60frames-please I agree. Sky Force Reloaded is the shmup I play the most. Love it.

Stardew Valley is one of my all time favorite games. Can't wait to see what he makes next.

Port all Persona games to Switch, and give me PHYSICAL copies to buy of each one. TAKE MY MONEY!

I just don't understand why Nintendo abandoned the idea of storing save data on the cartridge itself. Why the hell wouldn't I want my Pokemon saved on my pokemon cartridge and my Animal Crossing data saved on its cartrdige? This is just stupid.

YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! .... and YES!!!!!

Gonna be a lot of unhappy people that buy a Switch from Ebay, Amazon, etc and receive this box with some rocks inside it for weight. Really bad move Nintendo. You just made the scammers' jobs a lot easier.

@SilentHunter382 Ok. Duly noted.

@TimboSlice Actually Dead cells is on sale for the PS4 on that site, so I disagree that it is misleading.

To the author of the article: Thank you! I just picked up For The King standard edition for less than it cost retail. I've been wanting this game for a long time, and who can argue with $14 ($20 after shipping)?

I still do not understand why Nintendo has not made the Wii controller usable with the Switch.

The Wii controller's motion control detection is night and day better than that in the Switch Joycons.

I'm not saying do away with the Joycons as the main source of control for the Switch. All I am saying is that they should add the Wii controllers as an option for Switch developers to use.

There's no reason for Nintendo to not have a main line console machine that supports both full motion control and non-motion control game designs. They did a damn good job of creating motion control in the Wii. Just migrate that system to Switch by offering a usb-based sensor bar to connect to your Switch and sit on your TV (or TV stand), and add support to the Switch to interact with the Wii controllers.

but..... but.... but the Switch is a handheld already. Why would you do this?

I am going to lose so much time in life while playing this game >.< LOL!!!

None of the CONS on the list bother me in the least bit. To me, those aren't cons lol.

I'm looking forward to getting this game!

Looks good to me. I'll play it.

I am a big Sword Art Online anime fan, so take this with a grain of salt, but... I really like this game. I picked it up over the holidays while it was on sale, and I'm loving it.

What is a smart toilet seat exactly? Can I use it to play my Switch lol

Apparently, I played 47 different games this year >.< Holy crap. I need to get out more often.

Now that's awesome. The only thing that would top this is Personal 3, 4, and 5 being brought to the Switch.

Interesting... I saw nothing political at all in the advertisement. I suppose it is all in the eye of the beholder.

Every time I saw someone say something along the lines of, "don't buy the bundles on Black Friday because it's the older Switch and doesn't have the new batter," it made me facepalm.

I mean, hello... people... the old Switch is the same Switch that the vast majority of us own and love. If you can get that for less money, why the hell wouldn't you buy it.

The only reason you should wait and buy a newer Switch is if you MUST HAVE the very best available at the time, and if you are that kind of person, then you know that you are going to be paying top dollar for your purchases, so the Black Friday bundles were not for you in the first place.

I say good job to all the people that bought the Switch bundles on Black Friday. Welcome to the Nintendo Switch family!

Looks cute. I might play it instead of Animal Crossing (or at the same time), but I don't think I would replace Stardew Valley with this game as my go to relaxation game.

Didn't this same article just get posted on here?

This is honestly one of my all time favorite Switch games. I kid you not. I like this game more than most of the Nintendo branded games on the Switch.

@Dezzy I know everybody and their dog loved the open world design of BoTW, but I personally did not like it. I find open world games overwhelm me with too much to do and no real direction of where to go and what to do. I really liked the NON-open world areas of Pokemon Sword and Shield. The open area in Sword and Shield are annoying to me.

The second one that showed up in the video.... I swear to God I thought he was wearing a mask for a while until I realized that was actually his face. I mean holy crap. He's just straight up spooky looking.

I was going to wait and buy this for myself for Christmas, but I ended up breaking down and purchasing it last night to play. I bought the digital download version, so I still might buy the physical version for my Christmas, and just keep it sealed. I got the Sword version.

I'm not a big fisher, but I am a sucker for unique peripherals, and that looks awesome.

@Severian The earth (just like every planet in the universe) is in a constant state of change. At one point, there was only one continent on the face of the earth. Beyond that, I'm an old fart, and I've seen my share of this bs. Back in the 80s, we were told that there was a whole in our atmosphere, and that in the future we would all burn to death because of it getting larger and larger. Guess what. The whole repaired itself because the Earth is always in a constant state of change.

The same people that push these narratives of humans killing the planet are the exact same people that make billions off of it. Al Gore tells everybody to save the planet by using less energy and not to eat beef because the cow farts kill the planet, and he does this while living in a massive mansion that uses more energy than a small neighborhood and eats cheeseburgers.

It's called hypocrisy, and when you have been on this planet long enough to see the NEXT hoax come along, you'll be just like my generation that recycled newspapers, cans, and bottles all the while preparing for an emanate demise that never came.

Every generation that comes along has their "cause". Every... single... one. Politicians and businessmen take advantage of each new generation because, like it or not, young minds are easily manipulated.

Oh good lord. I really need to buy stock in some global change companies. This trillion dollar hoax based on fear mongering is making billionaires out of "believers".

Incoming internet defenders to attack me for have a differing point of view in 5... 4... 3... 2...

Somehow this has got to be related to global change. It's the soccer mom SUV's that is ultimately bricking Switches everywhere! LOL just kidding people.

Looks awesome.

This is one of my all time favorite games. Cant wait.

I'll be buying it simply because it's the first true Pokemon game on the Switch. I hope it turns out to be a good game that I enjoy, but either way, it's going in my collection.
