Was just playing this yesterday and thinking the exact same thing - and then I see this very article. Needs to be done, just like Rocket League.

@sillygostly There technically still is a physical/special split, with moves being categorically determined based on their type. Not quite the same as it being move-specific, but it's still there in some shape or form.

I received mine a few weeks back. So far, so good - apart from the change in design (which I'm still not happy about). Only difference is that it doesn't 'control' your TV like the official dock does - you have to manually select the HDMI source yourself. That could be the issue that some of the people listed above are running into, as we're now so used to the official Switch dock turning on our TVs and hopping to the correct HDMI source automatically.

EDIT: Just read one of the comments in the article - I too requested a refund a while back, and they ignored my emails and simply sent me the product instead. I'm in the process of chasing them up as the product is not as initially advertised - and I'm skeptical of it malfunctioning after some time as per the comments above.

EDIT #2: Ladies and gentlemen, my skepticism proved to be correct - I can now say my SFANS is no longer alive. A great experience for all of two weeks, with less than a handful of uses. Email number 476 is on its way to them now...

Amazing idea, especially as Song of Storms is my favourite Zelda song of all time. Unfortunately, I just can't justify paying 35 bucks for an umbrella.

@Dom As a Rock fan, I proudly approve the subheader

2:53 - 3:18. Well, he summed up my dislikes perfectly - no wonder why I didn't enjoy any of those dungeons (including all five of BotW's).

"Puzzle box" dungeons that require "global thinking" have never been my strong point, hence why I've always felt it a burden to get through those types. "Lock + key" and "gauntlet" style dungeons are more me.

I've gotta say, I sighed and rolled my eyes when I saw the opening minute of the video. But the more it went on, the more I realised how genius this concept is, at least for kids. Nintendo are geniuses when it comes to innovation, and they've proved that here yet again - and this "hands on" article cements that further.

To think cardboard just made me emotional.

@GrailUK I assume here:

A projector peripheral so kids don't need to takeover their parents' TVs if they want to play on a large screen? Course, I know that's very unlikely, but it'd be ace - although I do know third-party versions of this exists.

"Perfect Dark may now be owned by Microsoft, but for fans of the series, it will always be a Nintendo franchise."

Couldn't agree more. That subheader disheartened me. Long live PD64 - and its soundtrack for that matter!

@LordGeovanni Agreed.

@Euler That's true, but to play devil's advocate, you can't play the HD and arguably more played version on the go. It's a tough one this - again I agree that it's too early for a new instalment, and maybe even an enhanced remake, but then how do you explain MK8D?

A Smash port like MK8D with some nice new features (characters, stages, maybe a mode or two) is certainly something I've certainly wanted on the Switch since day one. As Smash is near and dear to me, the thought of waiting at least another year kills me!

@LordGeovanni It's weird, I completely agree with you and have always thought this, but only with Smash 4 (one of my favourite games of all time) I make an exception.

Course, I wouldn't simply want a port of the exact Wii U version, but I also wouldn't mind something as simple as a few extras much like MK8 Deluxe received, just so I can play the game on the Switch (and thus on the go).

I have the unpopular opinion that it's still too early for Smash 5 - Smash 4 is still going strong and a game of its calibre (with some nice new features) deserves to be on Nintendo's latest hybrid system.

Well said.

That chain of tweets is amazing. Also, Chibi-Robo for Smash?

@SLIGEACH_EIRE ...Chibi-Robo for Smash?

The part where he was creating a room. Man, if only...

@Kirbyfan Didn't say they were

@Serebii To your point regarding Mega Evolution and Ultra Beasts, I can’t help but feel the way I do regarding what the recent games have conveyed to me, and that’s that concepts such as Mega Evolution and Z-Moves have depicted Pokémon as Transformer-like entities, with Ultra Beasts not clicking with me at all. Also, I didn’t say anything about wanting every Pokémon be able to Mega Evolve, but just that the fact that some were picked over others fuels my opinion of not wanting it as an available mechanic at all.

As for looking into the future for newer Pokémon games, I can respect and understand that opinion, but I suggested the idea of the Switch title having no new ‘Mon due to some of the earlier points made regarding the amount of Legendary and Mythical Pokémon out there, as well as the game being on a system such as the Switch. The latter would hopefully provide a unique experience for even seasoned players, which could hopefully sell itself as the franchise's first HD main series core Pokémon RPG on a home console, therefore negating the recurring need of new critters and areas. I'm not totally against the idea of Generation VIII, but I think the opportunity that the upcoming Pokémon outing has could really be great for an idea such as this.

Interesting points though - best we agree to disagree considering how strongly we both feel about the franchise!

@LtAldoRaine @Phantom_R I did mention and acknowledge Voltorb and Magnemite in my initial statements though, and then went on to further explain my points via Mega Evolution, Ultra Beasts, and Z-Moves - and not the Pokémon designs themselves

Thumbnail seen, instant click. Fingers tightly crossed for Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo Switch.

Ahhh!!!!

@Kalmaro It's still a blast and I'm still loving it, but only when friends are around etc. I'm not too motivated to play it on my lonesome, though Badges and unlockables of that nature keep me tempted.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE Kit is in it

@Timsworld Oh man, so sorry you feel that way!
Enjoy your day though!

Beautiful : '-)

@carlos82 I think you've hit the nail on the head there. As an avid fan of Smash Bros.' mechanics, I'd've thought that I'd instantly gravitate to Smash clones such as this and RoA. Problem is, a huge part of what makes SSB so great is that it's filled to the brim with video game history, something that I'm afraid can't be topped.

SSB is about bringing established video game characters into a new world, the world that is Smash. It's the game that lets your playground discussions as a kid come into fruition. It's for that reason that I hold off on these clones (which may be to my disadvantage), but there's already so many other games to play with such little time!

Purchased! I wouldn't usually spend money on boxes (if we're being completely honest), but as Pokémon GSC are my favourite games of all time, I just had to. So now I have the original GSC and their boxes complimented by 3DS GSC boxes. Go... me?

We've already spoken personally, but I'd like to publicly express that it's been an absolute pleasure working with you over the past three years, including helping me in generating content for my wacky ideas. All the very best for the exciting opportunity ahead!

@-DG Not to worry, I wanted to know for sure!

@-DG Done a bit of further research and subbed the appropriate section - hope it helps!

@-DG Hmm, interesting! For me, food didn't fill it up as much as ancient items did. I only needed a few springs and such (I've collected a bunch of them that have been sitting there for ages) to get it to a full tank. So for me, as someone who's beaten the game and bought all the ancient gear, it proved to be an efficient fuel source!

My fave game of all-time! But then what was the point of Gold and Silver's recent release?!

.......WOW.

Wow! And I was just playing USFII last night on Switch as well! As happy as I am, doesn't this kind of make USFII slightly irrelevant?

Excellent news! The game is great, but a little glitchy at times.

Nope!

This...is...amazing!

Not sure where to even order man since Amazon cancelled my pre-order last month... (UK)

Makes me thing the big N will take Sony's and Microsoft's approach and produce a more powerful version of the Switch - like the Switch4K or something like that.

Makes sense - we're far from a new console, yet despite the Switch's brilliance and genius, it seems to be showing its true colours when it comes to third parties developing games for them. I see it happening in the next two years or so.

Was literally just playing ARMS now and then came across this article. I'd love the Megaton one!

Couldn't agree more. While I eventually fell off the Pokémon GO bandwagon, I've never booted up games on my smartphone on a consistent basis as much as I have over the last few years - and that's thanks to Super Mario Run, Fire Emblem Heroes, and believe it or not, Magikarp Jump.

I only now play Super Mario Run now and again, but it goes to show that it did indeed take Nintendo to turn me into somewhat of a smartphone gamer.

@PsychoCrusher Thanks buddy, means a lot!

@Kayfios Not sure if you've read the part where I've justified from my POV why FSA wasn't included and and why NSMBW/NSMBU/NSLU were - hopefully that should clear it up! As for a "fair poll", comparing the main series home console games of Mario and Zelda would always yield an unequal set of games for each era - but it seems commenters here (including myself) still found it difficult to choose in certain eras, which was the aimed outcome!

@ottospooky As mentioned, the comparison between BotW and Odyssey as "Game of the Year" is what fuelled this article, hence why the focus is main series home console 3D games of each era and not entire franchises themselves. If that were the case, Super Mario has far more surrounding/spinoff titles than Zelda, so it'd likely easily sway the tide in Mario's favour.

These are fantastic!!

@Julien @Indielink Yep, the technical difficulty just before the Ocarina of Time piece set the orchestra off from the video. Was great to hear the crowd support them in their difficult time of potential awkwardness and panic, though!

@LegendOfPokemon Interesting - Skyward Sword got a lot of love in the showing I went to yesterday! Made the game seem so much more epic than I had remembered it to be

It's a shame, though I think I'll still pick it up as the very last title for my New 3DS XL. Despite its obvious flaws, it's still a Mario Party filled with the best mini-games at the end of the day.

Here's to hoping for a resurrection to the series with MP11 for the Switch.
