Just because there are so many kids / family / all-ages friendly games doesn't mean Nintendo is only that. Especially during an era where Nintendo released Killer Instinct, Perfect Dark, Eternal Darkness, Geist, and bought up (timed-)exclusive rights for DOOM 64, Resident Evil 4, Resident Evil Zero, the Resident Evil 1 remake, killer7, and later down the road Madworld, GTA: Chinatown Wars, the whole Fatal Frame / Project Zero franchise, Bayonetta, and many more.
Nintendo doesn't shy away from good games, doesn't matter if they're horror or brutal. In fact we got many of the best in an exclusive or deluxe form.
And it's a total non-issue on Switch. Almost any edgy game is accepted/uncensored.
Wait! Did I miss something?
Since when is China or Japan a part of Monster Hunter?
Is this movie actually realworld mesh trash instead of Monster Hunter's fantasy world?
The bigheaded zombies in the background of the EU cover remind me of the children eaters in Little Nightmares.
With boxart as bad as Mega Man and Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts it's no wonder I skipped them back in the day.
I vote Japan, because it's actually artwork representing the game, plus no fractured arm.
Back then games almost always had the Japanese anime style stripped away and were westernized. I most cases for the worse.
@SMUGSLOTH69 I think Nagoshi also made the first Super Monkey Ball, but the second adds so much to it. The first felt limited, like a straight arcade port, but the second was a full-fledged console game with tons of stages. After that Super Monkey Ball tried to evolve (Wii/DS era) and failed.
F-ZERO GX and F-ZERO AX (Arcade) was the first time Nintendo and Sega worked together on a game, and it was stellar. It's debatable which one is better, F-ZERO X (N64) or F-ZERO GX, as both have their strengths, but F-ZERO (SNES) and the GBA games have a very different feel, like a completely different kind of racer with "classic" gameplay instead of "modern" gameplay.
Anyway, I couldn't find a modern futuristic racer on the same level as F-ZERO GX in the last 17 years. All were more or less disappointing in one way or another (mostly controls). Same for Super Monkey Ball, nothing in that franchise reached the level of the 17-year old Super Monkey Ball 2, though Hudson Soft's two Kororinpa / Marbles! Balance Challenge games were alright.
Time travelleres killed the fun out of this game. Nintendo already designed it so that special events are longer than just a few days to make it easier on people with a tight gaming schedule. I hope the next game bans these cheaters, at least in its first year.
Just another company on my ban list. I mean, you expect such whales to fork out for a 32GB or even 64GB cartridge easily., but they don't have any kind of balls.
I didn't know Microsoft and Bethesda have less money than some one-man indie devs that have their Switch games out physical.
Huge respect for the little fishies that don't shy away from costs. They really love what they do. Will support some of them instead.
The Wii U is my favourite Nintendo console and I still have it hooked up as my secondary main console, Switch obviously being first.
Just imagining how great Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Super Mario Maker 2, and Breath of the Wild could have been if they released on Wii U makes the Switch a sad affair. (And yeah, I'm talking about the real BotW Wii U version, not the adjusted limited Switch port we got instead).
In comparison to Switch the Wii U had games up to 25GB without extra cost (while Switch gets downgrades to fit on 16GB or even 8GB), Wii U has a much better touchscreen, much better motion controls, much better analog sticks and digipad, much sturdier and more dependable hardware, uncopiable and super practical two-screen gameplay, backwards compatibility, two consoles in one, integrated camera and microphone, much cheaper external memory, Miiverse, the internet browser, a nicer eShop, Virtual Console, a customizable main menu with folders, better record of playtime, obviously topnotch exclusive games as well such as Xenoblade Chronicles X, Yoshi's Woolly World, The Wind Waker HD, Twilight Princess HD, Paper Mario: Color Splash, Project Zero: Maiden of Black Water, Starfox Zero, Nintendo Land, Game & Wario, Kirby and the Rainbow Curse, Wii Sports Club, Wii Fit U, and so much more.
And we had top give it all up just to have it portable.
Happy birthday, my 8 year old Wii U. I hope the Switch Pro can be as good as you.
This game is full of details. Tinkering around in BotW never gets old. A true sandbox. I really need to just play around, trying things and have fun, now that I completed everything. But there are too many other games.
And eating dead animals is something I only do in videogames. I live by a "don't do anything you wouldn't want to happen to yourself" standard. If you have no respect for feeling beings and live a dumb yolo life that's your decision and conscience, not mine.
I supported them by getting Doom, Skyrim, and Wolfenstein II on the Switch, and I even enjoyed Fallout Shelter, and I want DOOM 1, 2, 64, and 3 on a cartridge, but they dropped the ball with the Youngblood release and the horrible Elder Scrolls: Blades.
I suspect Doom Eternal is their final Switch game.
They were just in one small bonus level. But it's neat they finally fixed that.
What would widescreen bring to Super Mario 64 apart from an ugly stretched image or an crazy amount of annoying pop-up and clipping at the sides? Come on guys, there's enough logical reason why 64 is not widescreen.
Huh, where's Civilization, DOOM, E.V.O.: Search for Eden, International Superstar Soccer Deluxe, Lemmings 2: The Tribes, Mortal Kombat 1, 2, 3 & Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3, NBA Jam T.E., Populous, Robotrek, Sim City 2000, Super Bomberman 2, 3..., Syndicate, Tetris & Dr. Mario, Theme Park, Wario's Woods, etc. With so many essential titles missing what's the point of voting?
@TheRedComet Any so-called flop was made redundant by the Nintendo handhelds that were going at the time. This, plus amazing software sales even on the flopped machines, and all the Nintendo merchandise that Sony cannot even dream of getting a piece of. Nintendo was king even during the N64, Gamecube and Wii U days.
I still need a decent racing game for the Switch that isn't Mario Kart, and this is the first one that got me interested.
I've great memories of racing games, especially on the N64 and Gamecube, and even on Wii I bought the unexpected masterpiece Excite Truck near launch. Switch is pretty bad for racing games in comparison.
Is this a bad emulator, or is the Crazy Kong arcade really filled with graphical glitches?
If I was Nintendo I wouldn't even put my "Licensed by" stamp on that cheap knock-off, but back then that was probably just reducing damage already done.
Physical and I'm in. The first Jurassic Park game I'm interested in, ever, even though I bought Jurassic Park 2: The Chaos Continues on Game Boy when I was a kid, but that was a mere run 'n gun with light exploration. One time I actually managed to accidentally input a cheat for unlimited health.
And I hated the SNES Jurassic Park for not having a checkpoint, password, or save system. Things like this frustrated me back then. Same for SNES Plok!, but that's a different story. They could have been great games with such a small added feature.

May - Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes June - Rocket League - Ultimate Edition July - Paper Mario: The Origami King August - eShop games (Bayonetta, Hotline Miami Collection, Darkwood, Project Highrise, RUNNER3, To The Moon, etc.) September - Super Mario 3D All-Stars October - The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening November - Xenoblade Chronicles - Definitive Edition
The first time I played Dizzy was at a friends house, and he had a monochrome (green/black 2 color version) of it on the Schneider CPC home computer.
The first game from the Oliver Twins I actually played/bought was BMX Simulator on the C64 datasette, which, as I learnt today, happens to be the predecessor of Micro Machines.
But for these old classics to be added to my Switch catalog, there needs to be a complete Dizzy collection on a cartridge for about 20 bucks. And with complete I mean complete and not like the incomplete split up Turrican, Mega Man or Castlevania collections.
I liked this game. Of all the pixel horror games I played, only The Count Lucanor (Switch/Steam) and Lone Survivor - The Director's Cut (Wii U) went well with me. Stuff like The Long Reach (Switch) and Uncanny Valley (Switch) were not very good in comparison.
Byrne still has no idea how long "Ascending" will be, but it sounds he's having the whole of 2021 to finish it up. And it sounds like he adds a big chunk of new material, almost sequel-like, giving this game proper content. It was one of those "great game but way too short" experiences.
All this game now needs to be more enjoyable is a quest log and/or a collection screen for 100%ing it. There are quite a few secrets in this game, and I wish there were more hints. I know I was checking the internet for the colored pills as their use seemed cryptic. Also, some people couldn't get into it because they couldn't read the map, but for me it worked just fine.
Anyway, it's nice to see one of the good Wii U indies getting a Switch remake. Now what about The Cave, Knytt Underground, The Swapper, Affordable Space Adventures, Stealth Inc. 2: A Game of Clones, Scram Kitty and his Buddy on Rails, Tetrobot & Co., Year Walk, Flowerworks, Costume Quest 2, Never Alone (Kisima Ingitchuna), EDGE, Citizens of Earth, and Thomas Was Alone.
It wasn't the best experience on Wii U. Long loading times, low frame rate with drops. The atmosphere is nice and the puzzles are good, but I hate how you can easily miss a bunch of the slaves and cannot return to earlier stages to rescue them. 100%ing this game is very frustrating.
As long as there's a stunning open overworld (rainy surface of Zebes for instance) with entrances to the planets obligatory network of caves I will buy this game day one.
As good as I thought the bottle ship was, I prefer alien planets. and as good as the caves were designed, I always loved the sections on the surface.
I think the mix of an open world planet surface and mysterious tunnel systems would be a perfect balance. I just want the overworld to be more like one place and not like rooms connected together.
@Mchi5: This is no series like Final Fantasy or Zelda.
People should beat NMH1 before they move on to NMH2. Or they won't get any of the references, returning characters, or the continuation of the story. NMH2 is literally part 2, a direct sequel.
I want MOTHER 3 (GBA), Bakuretsu Muteki Bangaio (N64), Cubivore (N64/Gamecube), Giftpia (Gamecube), Excite Bots (Wii), Captain Rainbow (Wii), Zangeki no Reginleiv (Wii), Chibi-Robo 2 & 3 (DS), and Tingle 2 & 3 (DS) in Europe.
There are also some Nintendo-made NES and SNES adventures I'd love to see, especially Famicom Detective Club (NES) and Hajimari no Mori (SNES).
Fire Emblem on the other hand, yeah, it's nice to have the first game and Marth's origin story available soon, but there are plenty better Fire Emblem games out there, literally any other, including a remake of this one.
Cadence doesn't seem to have any artwork except for the one used as boxart. It doesn't make much sense to have the same art on the front and the inside.
On that note however, I wish every game had a reversible cover just to get rid of the age rating that is obscuring a chunk of the cover. Some games did this and it was great, but if not everyone is doing it, it's pointless.
I think the download is cool, but the most important thing in a physical release is a cartridge (and a manual), and not posters, artbooks, stickers, keychains and other tacked-on kitsch. These can be added as bonus after the cartridge is manufactured.
For example, I don't mind having a 24 MB game like Retro City Rampage on a 25000 MB Wii U Disc either. It's the game that matters, not the size.
Also, I love it when tons of crap and shovelware gets released at retail and many good games only come out digitally.
PS. I think Pokémon Stadium 2 was another 64MB game for the N64 next to Conker's Bad Fur Day and Resident Evil 2.
PPS. On my eShop page Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light is 100MB, not 30MB.

Re: Nintendo Consoles Are Aimed At "Kids And Teens" Says Sega's Toshihiro Nagoshi
@SMUGSLOTH69 You played the wrong ones. It's Super Monkey Ball 2 and F-ZERO GX (both on the Gamecube) that were Nagoshi's masterpieces.
Re: Nintendo Consoles Are Aimed At "Kids And Teens" Says Sega's Toshihiro Nagoshi
Kids system? I couldn't care less. Why isn't he making Super Monkey Ball 3 or a new F-ZERO for it?
Yakuza would have been great on Wii U, though they completely messed it up by cancelling the international version.

But for these old classics to be added to my Switch catalog, there needs to be a complete Dizzy collection on a cartridge for about 20 bucks. And with complete I mean complete and not like the incomplete split up Turrican, Mega Man or Castlevania collections.
Re: Nintendo Download: 5th November (Europe)
Glad to see Descenders getting a retail release. On the other hand, sad that Jurassic World isn't getting one.
Re: Pikmin 3 Opening Week Physical Sales Were Lower On Switch Than Wii U (UK)
Wasn't this just 2 days on the market when this chart released?
I have it on Wii U, but I would be over it now if this was a new game for me.
Re: Review: The Last Blade: Beyond the Destiny - A Delightful Fighter That Shows Its Age In Places
Why isn't this in the Pocket Fighting Series like the last 2 Neo Geo Pocket fighting games?
Re: Boo! The Indie Survival Horror Game Lone Survivor Is Getting A Remake On Switch
I liked this game. Of all the pixel horror games I played, only The Count Lucanor (Switch/Steam) and Lone Survivor - The Director's Cut (Wii U) went well with me. Stuff like The Long Reach (Switch) and Uncanny Valley (Switch) were not very good in comparison.
Byrne still has no idea how long "Ascending" will be, but it sounds he's having the whole of 2021 to finish it up. And it sounds like he adds a big chunk of new material, almost sequel-like, giving this game proper content. It was one of those "great game but way too short" experiences.
All this game now needs to be more enjoyable is a quest log and/or a collection screen for 100%ing it. There are quite a few secrets in this game, and I wish there were more hints. I know I was checking the internet for the colored pills as their use seemed cryptic. Also, some people couldn't get into it because they couldn't read the map, but for me it worked just fine.
Anyway, it's nice to see one of the good Wii U indies getting a Switch remake. Now what about The Cave, Knytt Underground, The Swapper, Affordable Space Adventures, Stealth Inc. 2: A Game of Clones, Scram Kitty and his Buddy on Rails, Tetrobot & Co., Year Walk, Flowerworks, Costume Quest 2, Never Alone (Kisima Ingitchuna), EDGE, Citizens of Earth, and Thomas Was Alone.
Re: Review: Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty - A So-So Remake Of A Legendary Game
It wasn't the best experience on Wii U. Long loading times, low frame rate with drops. The atmosphere is nice and the puzzles are good, but I hate how you can easily miss a bunch of the slaves and cannot return to earlier stages to rescue them. 100%ing this game is very frustrating.

Re: Retro's Hiring Spree Continues As It Recruits Veteran GTA Producer
As long as there's a stunning open overworld (rainy surface of Zebes for instance) with entrances to the planets obligatory network of caves I will buy this game day one.
As good as I thought the bottle ship was, I prefer alien planets.
and as good as the caves were designed, I always loved the sections on the surface.
I think the mix of an open world planet surface and mysterious tunnel systems would be a perfect balance. I just want the overworld to be more like one place and not like rooms connected together.
Re: No More Heroes 1 And 2 Are Both Available Now On Switch In Uncensored Form
@Mchi5: This is no series like Final Fantasy or Zelda.
People should beat NMH1 before they move on to NMH2. Or they won't get any of the references, returning characters, or the continuation of the story. NMH2 is literally part 2, a direct sequel.
Re: Feature: Best Nintendo Switch Horror Games
Shoutout to DOOM 64, and those who play without save states like on an original Nintendo 64.
Re: Banjo-Kazooie Composer Posts Remixes For Halloween, With A Full Album Coming
These remixes are perfect. They'd go well with a remake.
Re: Interview: "There Would Be No Control On Switch Without The Cloud," Says Remedy
I'm surprised it runs so well in "Enhaced Graphics" mode, but the Demo is way too short to make up my mind.
Re: Random: Thanks Fire Emblem, Mother 3 Is Now Trending On Social Media (Again)
I want MOTHER 3 (GBA), Bakuretsu Muteki Bangaio (N64), Cubivore (N64/Gamecube), Giftpia (Gamecube), Excite Bots (Wii), Captain Rainbow (Wii), Zangeki no Reginleiv (Wii), Chibi-Robo 2 & 3 (DS), and Tingle 2 & 3 (DS) in Europe.
There are also some Nintendo-made NES and SNES adventures I'd love to see, especially Famicom Detective Club (NES) and Hajimari no Mori (SNES).
Fire Emblem on the other hand, yeah, it's nice to have the first game and Marth's origin story available soon, but there are plenty better Fire Emblem games out there, literally any other, including a remake of this one.
Re: Random: Not Everyone Is Happy With Cadence Of Hyrule's Interior Artwork
Cadence doesn't seem to have any artwork except for the one used as boxart. It doesn't make much sense to have the same art on the front and the inside.
On that note however, I wish every game had a reversible cover just to get rid of the age rating that is obscuring a chunk of the cover. Some games did this and it was great, but if not everyone is doing it, it's pointless.
Re: Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & The Blade Of Light Switch eShop File Size Revealed
I think the download is cool, but the most important thing in a physical release is a cartridge (and a manual), and not posters, artbooks, stickers, keychains and other tacked-on kitsch. These can be added as bonus after the cartridge is manufactured.
For example, I don't mind having a 24 MB game like Retro City Rampage on a 25000 MB Wii U Disc either. It's the game that matters, not the size.
Also, I love it when tons of crap and shovelware gets released at retail and many good games only come out digitally.
PS. I think Pokémon Stadium 2 was another 64MB game for the N64 next to Conker's Bad Fur Day and Resident Evil 2.
PPS. On my eShop page Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light is 100MB, not 30MB.
Re: Step Aside FIFA, Soccer Joins Hamster's Arcade Archives This Week
You'd be hard pressed to find just one Soccer game from ~1985 that is better than this!
If you find one, tell me.
