Yeah, it really isn't bad, but it just feels extremely unpolished. I noticed on some holes it's pointing the the flag you're aiming for is in fact on a different hole entirely, for example.
Unless they also have something to announce about Metroid Prime 4, this isn't coming any time soon. We've got all the Mario stuff coming. And Pikmin 3.
EA are all about money. There's no way Google didn't throw money at EA for these games. Nintendo are not interested in throwing money at Electronic Arts.
I can guarantee Nintendo do not care one bit.
I'd imagine this is also because these games can easily be ported to Stadia. Sadly, with Nintendo consoles being a little underpowered compared to Xbox and PS4, some retooling always needs to be done to get them up and running on Switch and that could be a lot of work potentially. EA aren't interested in doing that regardless of the number of Switches sold.
Also, I bet EA are still bitter that Nintendo didn't use their network services for Wii U.
Sorry Nintendo, I use Dettol anti-bac wipes because the Switch is a grease magnet and a soft cloth isn't going to clean anything at all. If I've been eating and/or preparing food I always wash my hands before playing but I swear the marks after a gaming sessions are horrendous. Maybe I just have really sweaty fingers.
I have such a soft spot for this series of games ever since playing SOS The Final Escape on PlayStation 2 many many years back. Mine is arriving this week all being well.
I love the Fatal Frame games. I have Project Zero on Wii and Wii U and would love to see the games on Switch. A remaster of the Wii Project Zero 2 could work well.
This looks very similar in style to that a game Nintendo published on the 3DS. It was eShop then had a deluxe physical release. Aaargh, can't remember it's name.
So why don’t they make eggs on a timer instead of needing less distance?
Incense being cheaper and more effective is a good idea.
For every 30 mins of screen time, Pelipper should deliver items from your nearest Pokestop or something. HA!
I wonder what this means for the upcoming Pokemon Safari Zone events? Luckily I can cancel my hotel for the Liverpool event but I’d be worried if I couldn’t.
But I doubt this means if you perform a system transfer you can't move your Animal Crossing save. It just means you can't play it on both your Lite and your docked console. Which is true of a lot of some other games isn't it?
What the hell is the point in a Pro if there aren't any real performance enhancements?
We don't need 4K support but we do need a 1080p handheld screen, 60fps solid performance docked and undocked, bluetooth headset compatibility without the need for dongles, a premium enclosure and a more sturdy kickstand.
What would be good is a scalable architecture. Perhaps Nintendo could release something like a 4K dock, which would boost performamce to allow 4K when docked?

Re: Nintendo Expands The Switch Online SNES And NES Service With Four More Titles
Rygar is a massive nostalgia rush for me. Though I played it on the Atari Lynx and not the NES, I'm still interested in this.
Logic Bomb is the only game I've not played so I'll certainly be giving that a go, too.
Wild Guns is such a great game. Really typifies that era of gaming in terms of looks, sounds, style.
Panel de Pon... meh...

Re: Review: SNK Gals' Fighters - A Simple Yet Robust Brawler Which Is Perfectly At Home On Switch
Do you remember when they said the NGPC was going to connect to the Dreamcast in the same way GBA connected to the Gamecube?
I hope this means we'll get some more NGPC games coming to Switch. I had a good collection back in the day. NGPC Sonic was great.
Re: Neo Geo Pocket Color Title SNK Gals' Fighters Is Available Now On Nintendo Switch
Cool. The NGPC fighters all have a really distinctive style. Did that game that emulated that style ever see the light of day?

Streets of Rage 1 is the best video game soundtrack ever, for me.
Re: Bank Of Nook Reduces The Interest Rate In Animal Crossing: New Horizons
So what was the interest rate and what is it now? I read so many conflicting reports.
Re: Video: New Streets Of Rage 4 Footage Shows Off Pixel-Art Character Gameplay
I'm going to be contrary here and say I think the pixelated characters look fantastic. Especially with the added lighting effects on them.

@readalie No, is that the DS game?
Re: Poll: The Wonderful 101 Is The First Game From 'Platinum4', What Do You Think Is Next?
@RiasGremory Source please.
Nintendo only published Astral Chain. We don't know if that means they own the IP.
Re: Poll: The Wonderful 101 Is The First Game From 'Platinum4', What Do You Think Is Next?
With the announcement that Daemon X Machina is getting released on PC, I wonder if that mesans Astral Chain might also get the same treatment?
Would love an Okami 2 though.
