So you're telling me that Switch 2, a successor to one of the best selling consoles of all time, is selling better in the first few months than Switch 1, a console that had distribution/supply issues and was a successor to one of the worst selling consoles of all time.
Who would have knew?!
After a year or two we can see if switch 2 lives up to the switch 1 legacy. But before that Nintendo needs to make some GAMES, bring out the big guns, firepower!
All I need personally is Prime 4 but they need something else for the rest of the year besides that and the next pokemon.
@wuntyme8 to me those numbers make perfect sense. 32 million people bought breath of the wild. 21 million of those liked it enough to buy the sequel. For the 11 million it wasn't their cup of tea. And more people are more likely to buy the first game rather than the sequel if they have gotten the console late in the lifecycle.
Played it through with a friend. It's your average mario game. Bread and butter. Can't remember any of the soundtrack and not many levels stood out of the rest. A lot of gimmicks and stylistic choices have been done on other games before. The game was laughably easy. Only few stages in the special world gave some challenge and most of them were super short. Nothing special but pretty good for killing time.
@Cashews what do you mean with rng? There is no random encounters and the battle systems is based on a card deck that you can build yourself. Damage output and damage taken depends which cards you pick (+ a bonus if you pick them in pairs or in a consecutive order).
For me it's a tight match between snes & switch. I prefer link to the past, super metroid & mario world over breath of the wild, metroid dread & mario odyssey. Snes also has the donkey kong country trilogy. Things might change when tears of the kingdom + other games arrive.
This is going to be a long one... Here's a list of games I still revisit. Some more often than others
Nes Adventure's of lolo 1-3 Batman Blaster master Castlevania 1-3 Contra 1-2 Ducktales 1-2 Dragon Quest 1-5 ( usually the updated ds, snes or game boy color versions though) Double dragon 1-3 Final fantasy 1-3 ( usually the updated ds, ps1, psp versions though) Mega Man 1-6 Metroid Ninja gaiden 1-3 Super mario bros 1-3 Zelda 1-2
Game boy Donkey Kong Zelda 4 Link's awekening ( not so much after the switch remake) Super Mario Land 1-3
Snes Actraiser 1 Donkey kong country 1-3 Chrono trigger Contra 3 Earthbound Final fantasy 4-6 Fire emblem 4-5 Hagane Lost vikings 1-2 Lufia 2 Mega man 7 & x 1-3 Parodius Pocky & rocky 1-2 R-type 3 Secret of mana Skyblazer Street fighter 2 turbo Sunset riders Super Castlevania & dracula x Super mario world1-2, allstars, rpg Super metroid Super smash tv Turtles in time Wild guns Zelda 3 Zombies ate my neighbours
N64 Ogre battle 64 Paper mario
The n64/ps 1 generation has aged like milk. Even revolutionary games like mario 64 and the two zelda games have not stood the test of time that well in my opinion. I'd rather play the 3ds zelda remakes or any other 3d mario.
Game boy color Wario land 2-3 The Zelda oracle games
Gamecube Baten kaitos eternal wings Fire emblem path of radiance Luigi's mansion Metroid prime 1-2 Paper mario ttyd Resident evil 4 Super mario sunshine Super monkey ball Tales of symphonia Zelda wind waker & twilight princess
Game boy advance Castlevania aria of sorrow (sometimes the other two too) Fire emblem 6-8 Mario & luigi superstar saga Metroid zero missio & fusion Wario land 4 Zelda minish cap
Wii Donkey kong country returns Fire emblem radiant dawn Metroid prime 3 Super mario galaxy 1-2, & new smb Wario land shake it
Ds The three Castlevania games Dragon quest 4-6 New super mario bros
Wii u Donkey kong country tropical freeze Mario kart 8 ( the switch version though but it's a port with dlc) Super mario 3d world & new smb wii u Zelda breath of the wild ( the switch version though but it's a port )
3ds Bravely default & second Dragon quest 7-8 Fire emblem 13-15 Luigi's mansion 2 Metroid samus returns Super mario land 3d & new smb2 Zelda a link between worlds, oot & mm remakes
Switch Cuphead Luigi's mansion 3 Mario kart8 The Messenger Metroid dread Super mario maker 2 Zelda breath of the wild & links awekening
Strangely enough I'm one of the few people that isn't that impressed with the switch. Malfunctioning and uncomfortable controllers ( I know the pro controller exists but do you remember the times when the consoles came with the best cotrollers ever?((snes & gamecube)), heath cracks and laughable online/ virtual console.
I think snes era wins and gamecube/ gba is a close second. Wii u/ 3ds isn't that far behind either.
Worst zelda games ranked 1. Triforce heroes 2.the four swords games 3. The Ds games with awful stylus controls
I can see some people voting for skyward sword for its motion controls and zelda 2 for its difficulty. I advise you to see a doctor if you picked anything else than the games I listed.
Metroid is one of my favorite series. I wouldn't mind paying 200$/€ for a new 2d metroid. Are 2d games worth 60$/€? Most of them are not. Are 2d nintendo games worth 60$/€? Yes, atleast a good bunch of them.
These games will be available to purchase seperately. Don't know about fire emblem though... I wonder how much they are going to charge for mario 35. 10 bucks? 20 or 30 if they throw super mario world 35 in there?
@GannonBanned It's really good! Clever and fun puzzles and the music is awesome too. The vikings have always funny dialog and if the player dies enough they break the 4th wall and get mad at you for being so bad
@Franklin so you think nintendo is going to kill off switch just after 5 years like wii u? It makes no sense at all as it's still selling close to 20 million every year
Zelda collection ( or twilight/windwaker atleast) for the early summer. Surprise game for midsummer. Bayonetta 3 will be late autumn. Pokemon game for november. Breath of the wild sequel for december. Those are my predictions.
It took 3 bad consoles in a row (sega cd, sega 32x, sega saturn) and a heavy hitting rival (sony with playstation 1 & 2) to kill sega. I think nintendo would have been fine even with wii u 2 but I'm glad it didn't come to that.
At first the artstyle seemed to unfold to something very cool and intresting ( in about 0:08- 0:10) but in mere seconds it turned out to be like an awful looking mobile game
Pretty good list! Here's my top15 1. Super Metroid 2. Donkey kong country 2 3. Super Mario allstars 4. Zelda 3 5. Lufia2 6. Mega man x 7. Yoshi's island 8. Fire emblem 4 9. Contra 3 10. Super mario world 11. Fire emblem 5 12. The lost vikings 13. Zombies ate my neighbours 14. Secret of mana 15. Chrono trigger
Breath of the wild was a great time but I have to go with 1995. I find myself revisiting Chrono trigger, Donkey kong country 2, earthbound and yoshi's island again and again. 95 also had mega man x2, mega man 7, breath of fire 2, castlevania x , Hagane and many other classics. 91 pretty good too

Re: Poll: So, What Was Nintendo's Best Year Ever?
Breath of the wild was a great time but I have to go with 1995. I find myself revisiting Chrono trigger, Donkey kong country 2, earthbound and yoshi's island again and again. 95 also had mega man x2, mega man 7, breath of fire 2, castlevania x , Hagane and many other classics. 91 pretty good too
