The continuation of phenomenal sales for Switch is staggering and to be honest I picked up my Nintendo Switch at launch and I almost didn't, I really was not that impressed with it at first but the games that Nintendo's been releasing have been spectacular and Switch has a fantastic library of titles available on and it's not even two years old yet. I can say I play my Switch daily at this point and I play mine docked more than not. Nintendo have turned me into a Switch fan
Nintendo has been a part of my Christmas since the NES as well and same here once my eyes saw Mario and Luigi jumping on Turtles and Goombas there has happily been no looking back. Nintendo and Mario, Link, Samus, Donkey Kong, Kirby, Wario, Diddy Kong and Pit have made me a lifelong fan . Good times ☺
I've not played any of MK 10 so I'm psyched about MK 11 coming to Switch. Would be great if Injustice 2 was also coming to Switch never played it and would love a copy on the Switch with local and online co-op modes. I've not played a Mortal Kombat game in years literally so I'm hoping this one is phenomenal it's got me in shock that we are getting 11 on Switch, though the Nintendo Switch is a perfect platform for it .It's starting to look like the Switch may have a really good year ahead of it with all the good games that have already been announced for it .
Smash Ultimate, StarLink, Super Metroid, Super Mario Bros 3, Warframe, Pokemon Lets Go, Donkey Kong Country, Zen Pinball FX3, Black Bird, Runner 3, Sonic Mania and Super Mario Odyssey have all been getting some play through the days up to Christmas, all of which are fantastic titles it's been a phenomenal year for gaming .
@JackEatsSparrows, I just started playing StarLink got it for 39.99 at GameStop and can say I was not expecting such a fantastic game., I can't quit playing it .
I like physical over download anyday for alot of reasons you can share the game you can trade it in or resale it. Downloads are in some ways a rip off in my opinion I don't think a download should cost the same price as a physical copy, it cost a lot less for the company to sell you a download than it does the physical copy yet a title that's 59.99 is 59.99 either way, hence they sure don't pass the savings on to the consumer which is BS in my opinion. I notice a lot anymore that companies are pushing digital more and more I can see why it is at the cost of the consumer though which is not right they should offer steep discounts for digital though I dought that will ever happen. The only games I download are cheap 5.00 to 10.00 dollar titles , which are what they are. Retail full priced titles I will go physical every time or not purchase them.
@BrettAwesome, I can honestly say I don't notice a big difference. I've played Doom on PS4 and I've played it on Switch and I really don't notice the difference, the only way I notice anything is if I really don't pay attention to the gameplay and look for it which I fail to see the point of that.
@diwdiws, Yes it does, but according to DF and Tech Times it also dips below 60FPS frequently on PS4 and XBONE ., It's not at a solid 60FPS the whole game through.
@Shade_Koopa, I can guarantee you that will not happen and I would be very very surprised if that would even happen on XBONE or PS4 ., Personally 60FPS is great and yada yada but 30FPS is far far from being playable I wouldn't even notice or think about it other than reading about it in an article.
@Dahn_, I've not read any articles with released sales numbers but I have read that Doom did really good on Switch and it was another success story for Bethesda which is great it is a fantastic title and it looks and plays great on the Switch, I've had a great time with it. Plus Doom Eternal is coming to the Switch and getting released at the same time as the XBONE and PS4 versions which tells me Doom was definitely a success on Switch.
@nessisonett, Thanks for the laugh I needed that, roided manchild but in a cool way., that is great, Hahaha., LoL. You sum Cena up perfect, I completely agree and he does come off as a good guy.
I am looking forward to seeing the BumbleBee movie looks like it might be a good popcorn movie I like the more original retro style of the Transformers in this movie and John Cena is a good actor I've like the movies I've seen with him in them so far and he is a Nintendo fan I like that about him, so am I .
@earthinheritor, You are right., It is 59.99 at retail, I was looking on my GameStop app to which I have a 20.00 reward discount if I buy through GameStop . Nintendo, Nintendo come on these are fantastic games but 59.99 is asking to much they are not new releases.
I got the starter pack at GameStop for half off I wanted the Star Fox Arwing to add to my amiibo collection and I am a little surprised at how nice the toys are though the Star Fox Arwing is the only one I want. Can also say the game is great, it took just a minute to get the hang of the controls to which the game has great tutorials for the only complaint I have is I would love if they would have added another camera option they have a behind the ship view and you can press on the R stick for a zoom feature , I would love it if you could zoom out behind the ship just a little further don't get me wrong it's not horrible how it is just would like to be able to zoom back a bit more . Anyone on the fence should definitely pick up the game it's a fantastic title and there is a ton to do .
I agree with most of the list definitely would love, love, and yes love a Nintendo64 Classic Mini ., So hoping that happens . I gave up on the browser, Netflix, themes and a much much better e-shop loadout on Switch it would be great though . I have to say the Switch has shocked me literally other than great games which is obviously all it ULTIMATELY has and needs, it really is lacking in a lot of areas especially being on the market going on two years and it is still selling at an incredible rate . The one other thing that I personally would love from Nintendo is a new more powerful 3DS . I love the stereoscopic 3D effect and really hope they don't do away with it or let it fade away it's such an amazing thing to play games in 3D on a handheld, personally it's my favorite way to play.
@joey302, I don't know where the 80.00 and 60.00 price quotes are from but it's only 39.99 at retail stores where I live in the US also., which is great if you have never played it, it is well worth that. There is a ton of gaming platform fun to be had between the combined two titles both are great and the added perks are nice now in saying that I totally get the anger over Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze and the 59.99 price tag it has.
@Bunkerneath, I completely agree I would love a new Subspace E., it was a great time to play through with a partner and I keep putting out there that Smash Ultimate is missing the Boss character Tabuu from Smash Brawl I think I'm the only one that misses him he was such a phenomenal character in my opinion. Now for me those two inclusions would have made Smash Ultimate really ULTIMATE., DON'T get me wrong I love Smash Ultimate it is great but it could have been better.
@Hoho, I have to be honest I'm not a fanboy of the Switch yet though it is growing on me slowly only because of the great line up of titles available on the system., I am still let down by what happened with the Wii U it had so much potential to be great that got wasted they never gave it a chance it never got a price cut half the features the system was able to do never got implemented it was and is just a sad story when it comes to the Wii U I mean the Switch don't do half what was possible with the Wii U it's crazy to think about .
I have to add my list., LoL. 1.NES 2.SNES 3.N64 4.(original)GAMEBOY 5.new 3DS XL 6.Wii 7.Switch 8.Wii U 9.DS 10.Gamecube
I've owned every system Nintendo has ever released and can say I have had fun with every one of them and I only did a top ten but I have to give honorable mention to the Game boy micro I love that tiny machine and it is far and away the most portable system Nintendo has ever made , to this day I carry mine around in a eyeglass case., LoL.
It's great to know Smash Ultimate has been so well received, I've had a blast with it so far . It was my early Christmas gift, I waited long enough I could not make it to Christmas day LoL .., and I am having a great time with it I love how much better the focus on single player is in this new Smash so far. I liked the 3DS Smash but was let down a bit with the Wii U Smash only because there was not much for a single player . If I had to find a gripe with or pick at Super Smash Ultimate my only complaint so far is there is no sign of the character Tabuu from Smash Brawl, which is disappointing for me I loved that character design I would have loved to fight with or against Tabuu in HD . It would be amazing if he is one of the DLC character packs headed our way though I highly doubt it .
@Triforce79, You can look up reviews for both games and the exact double HD pack was released originally on Wii U, I believe both games reviewed exceptionally well all around as well 3.99 for both titles is a good deal. Both titles are great fun and if you are into platformers of the Mega Man flavor you will find a lot to like . I highly recommend getting them if you have never played them, personally I like the 3DS versions better just for the stereoscopic 3D effect both titles look amazing on the 3DS the 3D effect is really great in both titles and both are a lot of fun to play through.
@JayJ, Trust me it's a sell tactic that works very well, they know their audience, though I agree if you miss the sell then it definitely makes you not want to purchase it. I think it would be better if they at least extended the sell to the first week of release.
@1UP_MARIO, Dont that make you scratch your head and think really. It is the same thing with Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze its 59.99 on Switch and the identical game minus only a character on the Wii U is 19.99 so you are paying 40.00 bucks for a DLC character I really don't get their price points but at least the Mario Bros title has a little bit more than one DLC character and it's ten bucks cheaper Nintendo have added some new features to it and to my knowledge two new playable characters to me this is not as bad as the Donkey Kong Country title.
I am eagerly awaiting the final DLC to drop on Shovel Knight and the amiibo triple pack which I find to be an amazing addition to my amiibo collection they did such a spectacular job with the amiibo for Shovel Knight Cant wait to see what the new three pack unlocks with all that stated I would love a new game featuring Shovel Knight I think it is definitely time for him to be the star of his own show once again I do like his assist trophy in Smash Bros it's one of my favorite.
Amazing did not expect this now I'm wondering what the sales are gonna be in the US and Japan. I'm gonna get my copy today can't wait this Smash looks phenomenal and I've only heard good things so far . Nintendo have hit it outta the park again first with Splatoon 2 then Zelda then Mario the new Xenoblade 2 the Pokemon titles all are phenomenal titles and I'm sure I didn't list something. Nintendo should definitely have developer of the year in the bag at this point. Kudos.
I've been looking forward to this I cannot say enough good things about the first game and this one seems just as great I even held out just to get this on my Nintendo Switch it's a perfect fit for the Switch, I would love a physical copy of both titles in the series ., The first title was such a blast to play in co-op mode I can't wait to give the co-op mode a go in the sequel.
@companyflosers, I don't think sells are the problem KI Uprising sold well over a million units the controls are another issue while not completely horrible they did take some getting use to once you got the hang of it or found a configuration that suited you there is an amazing game there to play. Hopefully we don't have to wait another 25 years for a new Kid Icuras title and Uprising would be amazing in HD and on the Switch the controls would be easily mapped on the Switch's controller all Uprising ever needed was two analog sticks the game plays like a twin stick shooter hince the original problem the first 3DS only had one.
Most definitely my favorite announcement of the night was that this is coming to Nintendo Switch now if only we could get Injustice 2 on Switch that would be epic.
I would love it Skyward Sword is one of my top five favorites from the Zelda franchise and it would be amazing to see and play in HD it is such a beautiful game and Link's Loftwing would make a phenomenal addition to my amiibo collection come on Nintendo make it happen .., I have to say the story in Skyward Sword is also one of my favorite and the dungeons are fantastic. I read a couple of the comments and I can say I honestly thought the motion controls were just fine and fun and I think people would be surprised at what a fun game this is even with motion controls and just how well they fit the game, the main thing being how accurate your sword strikes are which I for one thought it was a great feeling when playing to control your sword the way you can in Skyward Sword its awesome to tilt your hand and to see Links hand tilt the same direction in the game ., man I seriously hope this is coming to Switch now I really want to play it again.
I was excited when Smash Bros was getting released on 3DS, which I love that game . But Smash Bros Ultimate has me counting the days till release this game looks phenomenal to say the least. I have avoided any major spoilers I've only watched two of the commercials I did not watch any of the directs all the way through only the first 5 minutes of two of them and none of the YouTube videos I dont want to take away from any of the surprises ., Now to get back to my counting the days till release, good day all and happy gaming.
I think SB Ultimate is gonna be huge it has had nothing but hype surrounding it and Nintendo is releasing it at the perfect moment for the hype everyone I know wants or is getting Smash Bros Ultimate for their Switch., With the additions of the Inklings alone it will be bigger in Japan this time around .
This is not that SHOCKING everyone has known for awhile now that our man Luigi is the one with the big PACKAGE.., Just check him out when he is in Tennis Shorts ., WoW.
I use to watch more of Family Guy lately I can take it or leave it ., My go to cartoon for laughs these days is Rick and Morty I love it can't wait for the new season to start.
I have Reloaded on my phone I skipped the Switch version because of no online leaderboards I didn't see any mention of leaderboards on this title either which is the only way I like to play titles like these score chasing to me is only fun when you have leaderboards to compare scores.
That is the Switch dock of my dreams, the only thing that could and would make me want it more would be to have Miyamoto's signature on it also. That would be the Ultimate Switch dock to own.
I would definitely pick one up if and when Nintendo releases a N64 Classic mini. The consoles design is still to this day my favorite console design, the N64 looks so sleek and modern even today it would look great on my entertainment center and I would really love to play Donkey Kong 64 again.
I thought for a second it was Contra, even the level design looks like a complete replication of Contra's levels which I am a fan of Contra so I probably would like this but I couldn't help to think I would have loved to got a new Contra on the 3DS I remember there was a mention of it at one time and then that fell off the face of the earth I guess .
I am hoping for the best, at this point Pokemon has become one of the few and rare things that transcends past the boundaries of it's perceived genre people of all types and ages like Pokemon be it the Card collecting, Video games, Toys, Collectibles or the Anime Series everyone likes Pokemon. I remember in my late teens when Pokemon became very popular here in the US. I remember thinking it was a fad that would stop as quickly as it started and now over twenty years later there is no sign its ever gonna slow down or go away, at the time of me posting this comment Pokemon is the highest grossing franchise in the world to me thats astounding to say the least .
@TheWorkingDead, No it does not. I am of Native American heritage and in no way does it offend me. Nintendo removing the feather does not offend me either. I say move along nothing to see, next. In my opinion this is why racism is still so prevalent people fight the wrong battles.
I've got the Wolf, Inkling and Ridley on preorder as well as the Shovel Knight three pack. I've not seen the others up for preorder yet I really like the box the Diablo amiibo comes in I would love it if Nintendo would start boxing all the amiibo like the Diablo one . I have got all the amiibo up to this point except for seven I still need to collect, I have never been much of a collector untill Nintendo released their amiibos I have been a lifelong fan of the big N and I just can't seem to help myself when it comes to the amiibo .
I am definitely more hyped and excited about this Smash Bros it seems to be endless in replayability which for me is a huge factor in fighting games., I'm glad there is a story mode certainly and I like most of the new fighters alot, it don't seem to me Nintendo left any room for complaints at this point I think they are trying to make as many Smash fans happy as possible which is awesome with that said I would love to see Rosa and or Balder from Bayonetta 2 make it in as fighters both of which would be amazing characters and last but not least I have hopes high that Tabuu from Smash Bros Brawl will make a return to the series he is by far my favorite boss to fight that would be so so great.

I read a couple of the comments and I can say I honestly thought the motion controls were just fine and fun and I think people would be surprised at what a fun game this is even with motion controls and just how well they fit the game, the main thing being how accurate your sword strikes are which I for one thought it was a great feeling when playing to control your sword the way you can in Skyward Sword its awesome to tilt your hand and to see Links hand tilt the same direction in the game ., man I seriously hope this is coming to Switch now I really want to play it again.
Re: Video: Nintendo's Japanese Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Commercials Make The Game Look Incredible
I was excited when Smash Bros was getting released on 3DS, which I love that game . But Smash Bros Ultimate has me counting the days till release this game looks phenomenal to say the least. I have avoided any major spoilers I've only watched two of the commercials I did not watch any of the directs all the way through only the first 5 minutes of two of them and none of the YouTube videos I dont want to take away from any of the surprises ., Now to get back to my counting the days till release, good day all and happy gaming.
Re: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Is The Best Pre-Selling Game Of The Series To Date, And On Switch
I think SB Ultimate is gonna be huge it has had nothing but hype surrounding it and Nintendo is releasing it at the perfect moment for the hype everyone I know wants or is getting Smash Bros Ultimate for their Switch., With the additions of the Inklings alone it will be bigger in Japan this time around .

Re: Review: Sky Force Anniversary - A Fun Shooter That's Perhaps Surplus To Requirements On Switch
I have Reloaded on my phone I skipped the Switch version because of no online leaderboards I didn't see any mention of leaderboards on this title either which is the only way I like to play titles like these score chasing to me is only fun when you have leaderboards to compare scores.
Re: Random: Masahiro Sakurai Signs Smash Bros. Switch Dock For Staffer And It's Absolutely Glorious
That is the Switch dock of my dreams, the only thing that could and would make me want it more would be to have Miyamoto's signature on it also. That would be the Ultimate Switch dock to own.

@Ryu_Niiyama, I could not agree more .
Re: Reggie: N64 Classic Mini Is "Not In Our Planning Horizon", But Wouldn't Ever Rule It Out
I would definitely pick one up if and when Nintendo releases a N64 Classic mini. The consoles design is still to this day my favorite console design, the N64 looks so sleek and modern even today it would look great on my entertainment center and I would really love to play Donkey Kong 64 again.

Re: Blazing Chrome Will Bring Its Classic Arcade Side-Scrolling Action To Switch Early Next Year
I thought for a second it was Contra, even the level design looks like a complete replication of Contra's levels which I am a fan of Contra so I probably would like this but I couldn't help to think I would have loved to got a new Contra on the 3DS I remember there was a mention of it at one time and then that fell off the face of the earth I guess .

Re: Early Detective Pikachu Movie Screening Receives Very Positive Reaction, Features "Great Surprises"
I am hoping for the best, at this point Pokemon has become one of the few and rare things that transcends past the boundaries of it's perceived genre people of all types and ages like Pokemon be it the Card collecting, Video games, Toys, Collectibles or the Anime Series everyone likes Pokemon. I remember in my late teens when Pokemon became very popular here in the US. I remember thinking it was a fad that would stop as quickly as it started and now over twenty years later there is no sign its ever gonna slow down or go away, at the time of me posting this comment Pokemon is the highest grossing franchise in the world to me thats astounding to say the least .
Re: Nintendo Will Remove Smash Bros. Ultimate's Offensive Depiction Of Native Americans
@TheWorkingDead, No it does not. I am of Native American heritage and in no way does it offend me. Nintendo removing the feather does not offend me either. I say move along nothing to see, next. In my opinion this is why racism is still so prevalent people fight the wrong battles.
Re: Guide: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate amiibo - Where to Buy Ridley, Wolf, King K. Rool, and More
I've got the Wolf, Inkling and Ridley on preorder as well as the Shovel Knight three pack. I've not seen the others up for preorder yet I really like the box the Diablo amiibo comes in I would love it if Nintendo would start boxing all the amiibo like the Diablo one . I have got all the amiibo up to this point except for seven I still need to collect, I have never been much of a collector untill Nintendo released their amiibos I have been a lifelong fan of the big N and I just can't seem to help myself when it comes to the amiibo .
Re: Soapbox: That Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Direct; Let's Talk About It
I am definitely more hyped and excited about this Smash Bros it seems to be endless in replayability which for me is a huge factor in fighting games.,
I'm glad there is a story mode certainly and I like most of the new fighters alot, it don't seem to me Nintendo left any room for complaints at this point I think they are trying to make as many Smash fans happy as possible which is awesome with that said I would love to see Rosa and or Balder from Bayonetta 2 make it in as fighters both of which would be amazing characters and last but not least I have hopes high that Tabuu from Smash Bros Brawl will make a return to the series he is by far my favorite boss to fight that would be so so great.
