I doubt many people remember it as it was a North America only title, but I would love to have Metal Warriors.

@bluedogrulez Even after 4 years of delays and nearly 2 years of radio silence from the original Kickstarter creator, I still hold out hope for 90's Arcade Racer (now 90's Super GP). If it ever does come and it's even half as good as it looks, I'll put countless hours into it.

I've never had an issue with motion sickness before, whether it's real life activities or VR, but that trailer straight up made me queasy.

What the hell is this, the Japanese answer to Goat Simulator?!

@RandomNerds That was the first thing I noticed too! The very next thin I noticed was that both the floor and ceiling in the opening sequence appears to be a pool of green goo...

I wish patent-trolls would just crawl back under their bridges for good!

@Ichiban I'm normally not a fan of turn-based battles either, but something about this game just clicks with me. It's incredibly polished and the gameplay is very approachable for those unfamiliar with the genre. The difficulty certainly ramps up, but I think the game does a good job at preparing you for it. Also, as much as I hate to admit it, I'm really taking a liking to these ridiculous Rabbids...

@SLIGEACH_EIRE As you stated, the graphical overhaul and engine are already done, and even though XX for 3DS never came out West there is something to remember... XX is just and expanded version of Generations, which would seem to imply that a LOT of localization is already done, minus the expanded content. So that means that all Capcom would have to do is localize half (obviously a guess) of a game and slap it onto a finished engine for the West? I don't know how that wouldn't happen, seems like they're just stalling to make us all salivate. Jokes on them, all it's doing is pissing people off and turning them off of the Capcom brand.

L O L at the player name in the top photo, "nikkahplease!"

"We're already hard at work on the prototypes..."

Yeah, so like, they don't even have working prototypes yet which is why the tech details in the video are limited to whiteboard drawings. I think I'm just gonna pass, this one will never materialize.

@amishpyrate Most of the review knocks seem to be about the outdated graphics and the fact that the game has been little more than a roster update for the last few years. If that's the case, I suspect Switch owners looking for baseball game action really won't mind at all since there's nothing else on the platform to compare it to.

Holy hell, this looks so generic and uninspired, yuk! Those graphics though, they would look more at home on N64.

@Moon @Flowerlark This is true, it's fully capable of supporting these services, I just think at this point it's a first world problem, like Flowerlark said. As far as a new iPhone not supporting streaming services, of coarse I would be pissed, but that's not something that will ever happen at this point. Anyway, Reggie has hinted a few times that the reason they're not in a hurry is because they're focusing all of their attention on games for the time being, pulling resources from games to focus on apps isn't a priority. Assuming that statement isn't without merit, I'm totally cool with that is all I'm really getting at. Either way, I'm sure these services will eventually come, but considering the Switch has only been in the wild for 4 months now, I'm actually pretty happy with the pace at which we're moving along.

I don't get why everyone is so sour about not having Netflix and YouTube on Switch yet. Just off the stop of my head, here are the devices I currently have that already support them:

iPhone
iPad
PC(x3)
PS4 Pro
LG Smart TV
New 3DS XL
Wii U
PS Vita
Nvidia Shield Tablet
Google Pixel C

Is anyone seriously going to be put off without ANOTHER streaming capable device?

Is it wise to have a massive Pokemon event at a park in Chicago? I hope paramedics are standing by for those poor trainers who get shot or stabbed.

The cartridge blow around the 5 minute mark was the best best part.

@Switch99 It appears to be very slightly upgraded resolution in handheld mode, but it's nowhere near native 720p. This is truly disappointing and points to just how horribly this game is optimized. They went as far as removing shadows, lowering texture resolution, and reducing lighting affects from other versions and they still can't get a measly 720p at 60fps in handheld mode?! Sorry, but I'm not buying into the whole "Switch is underpowred" crap on this one, plenty of other games manage to pull off far superior visuals along with high resolution and framerate, this is just lazy programming.

Having said that, the balance improvements to the game make it play a lot better, IMO, and the shot meter is a welcome addition. However, why on Earth would you have the meter pop up all the way down in the lower right corner? It would have made a lot more sense to have it pop up over the shooter when making a shot since that's where your eyes are already focused.

@DrkBndr Okay, so my memory is ever so SLIGHTLY off, close to native, not native. Either way, I'm just assuming they took that off the table since they no longer mention it in the patch notes. I'll find out for sure when I get home later and play, I took lots of screenshots in handheld mode for the express purpose of comparing them once the patch was released. I'll report what I find later.

Troubling, there's no mention in the patch notes about increasing resolution in handheld mode. Saber said on Twitter a while back that they would be increasing the handheld resolution from 540p to native 720p, I sure hope that made the cut, but I'm guessing not if they didn't mention it.

@Alucard83

So, is this basically Dynasty Warriors style gameplay?

A new F-Zero would be amazing! Also, I may not have a whole lot of support on this one, but I want a new Pilotwings! Something about how laid back and tranquil that game is, I find it soothing and relaxing, like completely opposite of F-Zero, lol.

I might be on the fringe here, but I actually think the visuals and mechanics hold up surprisingly well. It's not just nostalgia for me, I recently finished another play through of Star Fox on my SNES last week, and I still find it to be an amazing game today.

Also, I think it's totally cool that a game that was supposed to be released 22 years ago is FINALLY going to be properly played for the first time and reviewed by modern reviewers.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought the game with the witch riding the flying bicycle already opened the floodgates on Switch shovelwear...

It's bulky, it's low on capacity, and it doesn't appear to have slots for the air vents... NOPE.

I'm really looking forward to this one! I laugh at the naysayers who say the 3DS is dead.

I can't even tell what the gameplay entails, it just looks like chaos in the trailer. Pretty sure this is going to be a big "hell no" for me.

The real elephant in the room is than Xenoblade Chronicles X is better than BOTW and HZD.

Why did you guys use screen grabs from the PS4 version rather than showing us how bad it looks on Switch? I've been watching comparison videos on YouTube and the difference is seriously shocking.

Even though I'm a big fan of the 3D effect on the New 3DS XL, I'll likely buy one of these just to add to my collection. I recon that's where most sales will come from, collectors.

Setting up games to play themselves so you don't have to be bothered with playing the game you purchased is actually a THING now?

Great, they just had to pick Nicalis... this means we MIGHT get them by 2020

Am I the only one disappointed at the video footage? It looked extremely cramped on the screen and the transitions into turns are terrible. Sorry, but this looked far better in stills than in motion.

For some reason, when I search for this in the 3DS eShop, it says not found (yes, I have a New 3DS). Anyone else not able to find it?

Not much there that I hadn't already noticed, but I guess you can have an A for effort.

Ah, yes... the Wii U fall-lineup is really picking up steam now!

sigh

The zombie apocalypse has finally come! We all thought it would be a mutant virus that turned humanity into the walking dead, but we were wrong... it was Pokemon Go!

Why on earth would this be an issue for some people? Are we going to have an outpouring to turn Samus Aran into a man next?

Dear God, I certainly hope he's wrong about his NX prediction, he talks like he knows firsthand information. He's right though, if Nintendo fumbles this one, it's likely going to send them down the same road as Sega.

F-Zero, my long lost love, how I've missed you so! I long to hold you in my arms again, to feel the excitement in the air as I turn you on...

Uh, too much?

They had me at "more hats..."

Drugs are BAD, Alex.

Sweet JESUS, this has just moved to the top of my Christmas list!

I would recommend anyone who's interested in this to get the 3DS version instead. They really did a great job on updating the visuals and it really pops in 3D.

I hope Shin'en makes a boatload of money on this game, it's absolutely solid gold!

Sweet Jesus! Between this, Xenoblade, and Steamworld Heist, Nintendo will be taking my money like there's no tomorrow!

OMG, how random, I love it!

For some reason, that video made me think of Mugatu in Zoolander...

"Obey my dog!!!"
